Facing Chen Mingcheng's bluff, Gu Kun acted very cooperatively, showing a panicked expression of "You've actually seen through".
It is in line with the mentality of young people who are soaring as rockets.
Chen Mingcheng thought he had figured it out and thought he had guessed everything.
He continued to attack proudly, "Don't think those little tricks can be hidden for long! I have already checked that the price of China's oil is still 1 yuan 2 yuan per liter. This price was really no advantage a few months ago, and it was more expensive than the goods from Brunei.
Two percent.
But after the RMB exchange rate plummeted, they were able to hold on to this price and persisted for so long. This is something I didn't expect - so young people, don't know that the sky is high and the sky is high. If you don't cooperate with me, I can leave you and go it alone.
."
Gu Kun sighed seriously with his acting skills, "This business has not been in business for a long time, so I try my best to do it one day at a time. I know this day will come sooner or later."
As we all know, he just wanted to seduce Chen Mingcheng today.
However, if it was too easy for Chen Mingcheng to get everything he wanted to know, he would instead wonder if there was any conspiracy or fishery involved.
Therefore, Gu Kun pretended to be reluctant and acted for so long, making the process look not so smooth.
Now, the drama of "being forced to have no choice" is finally over.
Gu Kun put on a sad expression that said "there is no other way" and pretended to be subdued.
If it were someone else who would give in at this point in the performance, it would still be a bit too fake, but who makes Gu Kun young?
It is very typical for a 17-year-old upstart to be impatient. He should be high-spirited when the wind is going well, but his mentality suddenly collapses when he encounters setbacks in the headwind game.
What Chen Mingcheng has is not the "aura of mental retardation" but the "aura of underestimating the enemy", which is very reasonable.
After the two sides exchanged some more words, Gu Kun asked, "Boss Chen, since you said you know everything, what else do you want to cooperate with me? If you don't explain clearly, I always feel uneasy."
Chen Mingcheng immediately changed his face to an encouraging one, "Young people, don't belittle yourself. You were the first to start this business, and you are familiar with the process. I need you to take my people for a trip and let my people go."
Watch from the sidelines.
Teach them how to manage the purchase of goods from China and what joints to clear. Then, I can share the profit from selling China Petroleum to you... 10% as the consulting fee for leading the way. "
Chen Mingcheng never thinks that anyone can do the oil business in any country.
If the scale of the goods he needs to import is measured in 100,000 barrels, then he must need to get some leaders of the provincial branches of China National Petroleum Corporation, right?
You also have to create clever names to cover up the purpose of the oil products, spread the accounts, and cover up other people’s eyes...
Precisely because Chen Mingcheng knew all the tricks in the oil business, he felt that Gu Kun was still valuable.
Gu Kun had been working there for at least a month or two and had become familiar with the people here.
Gu Kun thought for a moment and put on a greedy and regretful expression, "Is it only 10%..."
"You have no ambition! Now you are still counting money!" Chen Mingcheng became more and more contemptuous in his heart.
He further speculated, "How difficult do you think it is to run a relationship, and how irreplaceable it is? I can win all the friends you can make! It's just that I have to compete for time——
I have calculated the diesel production costs of Huaxia people. With the current low oil prices, they are definitely operating at a loss. It is beyond my expectation that Huaxia Petroleum can sustain losses until now. I guess they will raise prices sooner or later. If not
In order to compete for time, you are not even qualified to get 10%, I can handle it all myself!"
"What? You actually know this?" Gu Kun looked shocked, "I promise! I will lead you right away! You are so accurate. When I had a drink with Mr. Hu last time, he said, "Internal
There is a document. Maybe sometime after May Day, the head office will issue a document requesting that the national oil price rise. By then, it will be at least RMB 1.5 a liter, or even RMB 1.6."
The name of Mr. Hu mentioned by Gu Kun is of course correct. He should be a leader of the Guangdong Branch of China National Petroleum Corporation. But in fact, he has no friendship with Gu Kun. Gu Kun just wanted to make his news appear
The source is more reliable, just follow it casually.
The real source of his understanding of the pace of China Oil's renewed price increase is actually the historical events he knew before his rebirth - as a person who travels to the sea all year round, it is his job to know which years oil is cheaper and which years are more expensive in neighboring countries.
Relevant common sense, so it is normal to remember it in your mind.
"Sure enough, I guessed it! China Petroleum will be unable to hold on sooner or later!" Chen Mingcheng was surprised and regretful when he heard the truth revealed in a panic.
To his pleasant surprise, Gu Kun was completely impressed by him and accepted his groveling cooperative position.
What a pity that it came so quickly! Will the price rise come back in May?
It is now mid-April. Although he has sent out his first fleet in advance and is currently at sea, heading north to China to purchase goods. He will be able to reach Guangdong Port in two or three days. However, even with all his plans,
He only makes two or three trips at most to sell low-price oil.
(Chen Mingcheng already expected that he could impress Gu Kun, and also guessed that Gu Kun's oil came from China, so before Gu Kun came back, he took a gamble and let his fleet set off early)
It's such a pity that such a good business opportunity was discovered late, so I could only pounce on it for two or three times, and then it was over!
After Chen Mingcheng secretly lamented for a while, he forced himself to calm down and look forward.
He continued to ask, "It seems that you have done a pretty good job. You have even snooped out the internal documents and information of China Petroleum Management. So, I think you are of good use. Work with me wholeheartedly and I will give you 10%."
The benefits of five——
I hope you recognize the situation clearly. You only have this little value to be exploited. Moreover, my fleet is much larger than yours. The total profit from one trip, even if it is only 15%, is several hundred tons higher than your own.
The boats are running high, and those who know the current affairs are heroes."
"I know how to choose. Thank you, Mr. Chen, for disregarding past suspicions. I will definitely tell you all the joints and secret precautions I know." Gu Kun pretended to be completely subdued with his acting skills.
Then, that night, he told all the details of how to go to the north to sell diesel.
Starting from the next day, Chen Mingcheng started working at full speed.
…
If God wants to destroy people, he must first make them crazy.
Therefore, Chen Mingcheng thought that everything went smoothly in the first two weeks after conquering Gu Kun.
After all, when the fish takes the first bite of the bait, it only feels delicious at first, and the hook comes later.
Chen Mingcheng's main business is in the diesel business, so his ships often start with a capacity of 5,000 tons. They are also professional oil tankers. One ship is equivalent to a capacity of transporting 40,000 barrels of oil.
As an oil tanker, five thousand tons is actually not that big at all.
It's not that Chen Mingcheng can't afford a bigger ship, but that the total monthly fuel consumption in Lanzhou is more than 200,000 barrels (gasoline and diesel are added together). If he changes to a bigger ship, the transportation capacity may be
Idle.
Secondly, it is also because Lanfang's demand is small, so the port is also small. The largest berth in Lanfang Port can only accommodate ships of about 5,000 tons. Therefore, Chen Mingcheng has two 5,000-ton ships under his name.
Boat.
On April 23, Chen Mingcheng's first cargo of oil was shipped back to Lanfang, earning a price difference of 200 yuan per ton. Five thousand tons would be a net profit of one million yuan!
On April 29, his second ship also sailed back, earning another million a month. The first ship had already sailed again for five days and was about to arrive in Guangdong again.
He estimated that if this business can continue for a long time and the unit profit does not decrease, almost each boat can earn him 1.5 million yuan per month! Two boats are a monthly income of more than 3 million yuan! This is equivalent to
RM1.2 million!
His entire family fortune is only RM15 million. In other words, if such a business runs at full capacity for one year, his net worth will be doubled!
It took him more than ten years to build up his current family fortune!
Now, with an opportunity to double in one year, how could he not feel regretful, excited, or crazy?
"What a pity! Huaxia Petroleum is about to rise back in price! Such a good business, with only three to four million yuan of wool, is about to end? No! I won't give in! I must finally do something big.
of!"
But, how to do something big?
One day at the end of April, in Chen Mingcheng's villa on the main island of Lanfang, he was drinking wine and summoning his subordinates to come up with a solution.
Gu Kun, who had fully won his trust, pretended to please the boss and took the initiative to "offer advice" in an attempt to make Chen Mingcheng feel at ease.
"Boss, I think you don't need to worry too much. Even if the price of Huaxia Petroleum increases, there are still business opportunities. It's not like they only increase the price by 10 or 20 cents to smooth out the price difference.
They are going to increase it by 40 cents. After the increase, it will be more than 20 cents more expensive than Brunei diesel. Aren't you a Shell exporter? You can still make money by exporting Brunei oil to China.
Price difference. I just hope...don’t forget about me when the time comes. I’m still valuable.”
"It's just you? What value do you have in the future?" Chen Mingcheng looked at Gu Kun's "pleasant" face and felt a sense of contempt in his heart. He secretly thought that when I don't need to buy goods from China, I will be the first to get rid of you, who is enjoying the benefits.
!I earned 3 million this month, but you, a freeloader, took away 400,000 for nothing! How dare you continue to rely on it?
In Chen Mingcheng's opinion, Gu Kun's use value is gone.
Because Gu Kun already knew all the relevant management and customs personnel of Hua Petroleum that he needed to know when purchasing goods.
However, when he turned his attention back to carefully savor Gu Kun's words, he suddenly discovered a new opportunity.
"Before the price of Huaxia Oil increased, we were in the business of selling oil from China to foreign countries... After the price of Huaxia Oil increased, Gu Kun suggested that I start the business of selling oil to China...
Then why should I bother with this? Now I should directly purchase a batch of diesel and gasoline in China. Without shipping it, I can just find an oil depot in Guangdong and store it there! Then when the price goes up, I will
If you resell it, wouldn’t it be a direct double profit?
Moreover, this kind of business does not require transportation, and there is no need to consider the scale of transportation capacity. As long as I have enough purchasing capital, I can purchase as much as I want! If I don’t have enough money, I can also increase leverage!”
Chen Mingcheng instantly thought of a business strategy that would increase his entire property by 30% overnight!
No, that's not accurate. It should be said that the total capital he can leverage increased by 30 overnight!
If he mortgages all his wealth to HSBC and then doubles or even doubles the purchase...
The picture was so beautiful that Chen Mingcheng's eyes were bloodshot and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
