Chang Yongsheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Boss, 50,000 bags of cement is 2,500 tons, and the load capacity of 141 is 5 tons. We have 20 141s, and a round trip is 100 tons.
2,500 tons requires 25 round trips. The distance from Hui City to Dan City is 370 kilometers. The normal speed is 80 kilometers per hour. The round trip and loading and unloading will take 12 hours.
It may take 25 days to produce 50,000 bags of cement. It is not cost-effective to run this way, and the physical strength of the driver masters cannot be tolerated.
I have an idea. We can buy 20 trailers with a load capacity of 7 tons, so that the load capacity of a 141 can reach 12 tons. Moreover, the road from Hui City to Dan City is now very well built.
There is no problem at all with one card and one hexagram. This can shorten at least half a month and save a lot of money in terms of fuel consumption. Moreover, the towing unit is priced at 7,000 yuan each.
Although the investment is a bit large now, it will be convenient in the future!”
Lin Chuan immediately accepted the proposal, wrote a check for 140,000, asked them to buy a trailer, and went to Dan City immediately.
Zhao Nianshun also took 40,000 yuan from Qin Mengying's project budget to pay for the first 4,800 bags of cement and expenses and transportation.
Lin Chuan didn't feel bad about the money because he could earn it back from Du Congchao and Wang Kaizhe.
20 141 heavy-duty trucks plus trailers transported 5,000 bags of cement back early the next morning.
Zhao Nianshun said happily: "Boss, the Danshi Cement Factory really took good care of us this time. Knowing that we are from Huishi, each bag of cement was given 5 cents cheaper!"
Lin Chuan also smiled in surprise and said: "Really? Then you have to thank me for taking care of me. Next time you go, you can bring some good cigarettes to the person in charge of sales.
Also, now you ask people to spread the word, we are now selling cement at 13 yuan per bag!"
Zhao Nianshun was a little confused about what Lin Chuan meant.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
Lin Chuan said with a smile: "It's making money. Now Du Congchao sells a bag for 16 yuan, and I sell it for 13 yuan. It's cheaper than him. Isn't that good?"
That said, Zhao Nianshun still doesn't understand.
In fact, Lin Chuan only quoted the cost of 13, and basically earned 1 yuan per bag of cement.
And he does not rely on this to make money, he just wants to disrupt the cement market. The more chaotic it is, the more profitable it will be for him.
As soon as the news was released, 5,000 bags of cement were sold, and 4,000 bags were sold in less than one morning.
Even so, there were complaints.
People who came to buy cement all criticized Du Congchao and the cement factory.
"That idiot Du Congchao is just muddying the waters and messing up the market. For 16 yuan a bag, he makes money by buying paper for his whole family to burn!"
"My son is just waiting for this cement to build a house when he gets married. Now it sells for 16 yuan. He couldn't buy it before. If it weren't for Boss Lin, my son's wedding would have been postponed. I have to thank Boss Lin!"
"Boss Lin, from now on we will buy cement from your house. No matter how cheap it is, I won't give him this face!"
While Lin Chuan was collecting the money, he said with a helpless face: "Boss Du did this, and we all felt uncomfortable. I sold it for 13 yuan a bag, which was a helpless move. I hope that Boss Du's cement price will be reduced soon."
!”
The cement sales here are in full swing, but Du Congchao is a little restless.
He just couldn't figure it out, where did Lin Chuan get the cement?
Not only is it enough for yourself, but you can also sell it?
At this moment, Sheng Yiheng came back with sweat on his face.
"Mr. Du, I understand, Lin Chuan bought the cement from the cement factory in Dan City!"
"Dan City?"
Du Congchao grinned directly.
"This Lin Chuan still has some tricks up his sleeve. He wants to compete with me by buying cement from Dan City? Doesn't he know that water from afar cannot quench a thirst that is near?"
Sheng Yiheng also sneered and said: "He sells a bag for 13 yuan, which means he doesn't make any money at all. He obviously wants to test his abilities with you and compete with you!"
Du Congchao smiled coldly: "Well, let's see how long he can hold on? I don't believe that all his money was blown by the strong wind!"
The next day, 5,000 bags of cement arrived again.
The construction site is full of tractors transporting cement and people selling cement.
Lin Chuan came in front of everyone and said helplessly: "Don't worry, everyone, listen to me, today's cement will be sold for 14 yuan, because all the cement here has been ordered by big customers.
The cement supply in Hui City is very tight now. People are everywhere asking for cement. Even Du Congchao’s price has increased to 20 yuan. My cost has also begun to increase. If everyone can accept it, I will buy it.
If you can’t accept it, I won’t force you to buy it!”
Although everyone is very reluctant to accept this price.
But we have to do the project in front of us.
The reason for accepting this price is all due to Du Congchao, who monopolized the cement market and deliberately raised the price.
You still have to buy it now, you have to buy it.
Compared with 20 yuan, this is still acceptable.
Lin Chuan kept the 1,000 bags needed for his project and quickly sold the remaining 4,000 bags.
I made 12,000 in two days.
For the next 5,000 bags, Lin Chuan directly raised the price to 16 yuan.
Although the price sold slowly, many people gave up.
But in the end, 4,500 bags were sold.
Du Cong slapped the table angrily.
His eyes were so angry that they became blurry due to blood congestion.
He wanted to spend 16 yuan on Lin Chuan's funds and earn some extra money at the same time.
But now, the inventory of 200,000 bags of cement, including the 8,000 bags of cement produced by the cement factory every day, belongs to him.
Now he has to spend a lot of money to buy cement every day. Except for the cement used at Wang Kaizhe's construction site, he can't sell the remaining bags.
On the contrary, Lin Chuan, the same price is 16 yuan, he buys as much as he can.
After doing this for a long time, Du Congchao actually used his own funds and reputation to help Lin Chuan make money.
Angrily, Du Congchao slammed the table, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Why on earth is this? Why on earth?"
Sheng Yiheng said with spit on his face, "Mr. Du, don't be angry, now is an opportunity for us.
He sold it for 16 yuan, but the cost was close to 13 yuan. We immediately sold the cement in hand at a price lower than 13 yuan, so that no one would buy his cement anymore.
The large amount of cement he purchased will still be deposited in his hands!"
Du Congchao was so furious now that his normal thinking was confused. How could he think so much?
"Okay, then it's 10 yuan a bag, or if that doesn't work, just 8 yuan!"
However, the market has become quite saturated due to the panic buying and hoarding in the past few days.
Even for 8 yuan, only a few hundred bags are sold a day.
However, the cement factory didn't care about that. According to the contract, all the cement produced within a month was delivered to Du Congchao.
