Zhou Li did not hide anything, and said very straightforwardly: "We, Hongxiang Trading Company, don't dare to say it in other places, but our sales channels in Luo'an County are still good. At the same time, we have good sales channels in several nearby counties.
For example, Guang'an County and Luohai County also have channels. If Mr. Lin doesn't dislike it, he is absolutely confident and has enough strength to buy this kerosene to several surrounding counties!"
When Zhou Li said this, Lin Ziran was deep in thought.
He did not expect that kerosene would attract the attention of so many people so quickly. One after another, Zhu Zhen was guarding the place, and within a few days, even Zhou Li came running over.
It seems that I still underestimated the influence of kerosene!
Faced with these so-called collaborators who came to his door, Lin Ziran's attitude was naturally that of just picking up the pieces.
If it was someone like Zhu Zhenshou, Lin Ziran would naturally ask Luo Mazi to lead his men to kill him without saying anything.
But as for Zhou Li, Zhou Li is not a big deal, but Hongxiang Trading Company is very important.
This trading house is currently his most important partner and main arms supplier, and it is still necessary to maintain a proper cooperative relationship.
At the same time, he also considered that the No. 3 well in the oil field has begun to produce oil one after another. Although the output is not large, only about ten barrels per day, at the same time, the No. 4 well is also making rapid progress.
Not to mention the future, right now, the oil field produces almost forty barrels of crude oil every day. The refinery has been continuously adding equipment to increase its refining capacity, which can basically give the current crude oil production to
Refined into kerosene.
Therefore, today's production capacity has been greatly improved compared to a few months ago, but Qingshan Commercial Bank's sales capabilities have not improved rapidly.
After all, Qingshan Commercial Bank is still a small commercial bank. Its small-scale wholesale and retail channels can only cover Qingshan Town and several surrounding towns, but such a small place cannot consume so much kerosene.
Therefore, most of the kerosene actually passes through Sanyo Ferry, and then is transported to several surrounding inland ports and distributed to some local small and medium-sized dealers.
However, although this model is sufficient for a while, it will definitely not be sufficient in the future.
Although the current oil production of Qingshan Oilfield seems to be very small, judging from the current mining situation, the reserves are extremely rich and easy to exploit.
As oil wells are drilled one after another, the crude oil production capacity will definitely increase. It is not impossible to build an oil well with a daily output of hundreds or even thousands of barrels of crude oil one day.
Even if the refining capacity can catch up by then, the sales capacity will definitely not be able to keep up.
The current sales model of independent retail plus small-scale wholesale can only be used on a small scale, but it is completely unsuitable for future large-scale industrial production.
Coupled with the previous failure of Sanyo Zhenzhen and Zhu Zhenshou, Lin Ziran also had the idea of looking for a collaborator.
At that time, he will only be responsible for crude oil mining and refining, and directly wholesale large quantities of kerosene to large distributors. As for how those large distributors buy kerosene, that has nothing to do with Lin Ziran.
Make money and worry less!
Now Hongxiang Trading Company came to visit him, just in time to let him try this method.
Of course, what's more important is that although Lin Ziran still doesn't know the true strength and background of Hongxiang Trading Company, he can definitely know it with his toes. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do the arms business at all, and it would still be shady underground.
Ordnance business.
With Hongxiang Trading Company standing outside, I don't have to worry about random cats and dogs coming to my door.
After thinking for a while, Lin Ziran said loudly: "The kerosene matter is easy to discuss. Even if Manager Zhou doesn't come here specially, I will send someone to find you."
Hearing this, Zhou Li looked stunned!
He never thought that Lin Ziran would agree so readily.
Many people don't know about making money from kerosene, and many people don't even know about kerosene yet. However, most of the merchants working in Sanyang Ferry know this, because in recent months, truckloads of kerosene have been transported
Going to Sanyang Ferry and then loading it on a ship for export is simply not enough to satisfy those who are interested.
But many people also know that this kerosene business is a semi-official business of Qingshan Town, and the person in charge of this matter is Qingshan Town Patrol Camp Officer Lin Ziran.
Ordinary merchants would not have the guts to come to the door. The only ones who did have the guts were Zhu Zhenshou, the Zhu family brothers, and Zhou Li from Hongxiang Trading Company.
When Zhou Li came to visit, he just wanted to test his tone first and then make a plan.
But he was not like Lin Ziran who would say directly: "Mr. Zhou also knows that the Qingshan Trading Company under me lacks the ability to distribute goods and it is unsustainable to retail on its own. Moreover, the output of kerosene has been increasing recently, and we are preparing to find a new supplier."
Where are the partners!”
"If your bank wants to do this kerosene business, it's very simple. We can supply it to you now!"
Zhou Li's expression changed obviously at this moment. He thought for a few seconds and then said: "I don't know how much subsequent production capacity there will be. As far as I know, although the Qingshan Trading Company under your control is a bit smaller, it can still sell the current goods.
Well, no matter how afraid it is, it won’t be much more.”
Lin Ziran said: "Now we can supply one hundred barrels to your bank to test the water. Next month, this number will increase to three hundred barrels."
"Three hundred barrels? Sir, are you sure?" At this time, Zhou Li's face was extremely cautious!
Lin Ziran nodded: "Of course I am sure!"
Zhou Lidao: "What about the price?"
Lin Ziran said: "Go according to the market price. Don't worry, it will definitely be lower than the price of whale oil."
Hearing this, Zhou Li laughed: "My lord, please be happy!"
When he said that, Zhou Li looked at Lin Ziran with a somewhat profound look.
At first, Zhou Li thought Lin Ziran would refuse. After all, the supply of whale oil is extremely scarce now, otherwise the price would not have soared to the current high price of more than 50 cents. As long as he has the goods in hand, according to the current market conditions, then
It is a sure profit without loss, and the profit is not small.
Similarly, kerosene, as a substitute for whale oil, has a similar price, and the actual production is not much, which makes kerosene also scarce.
Zhou Li knew before he came that the kerosene shipped by Qingshan Trading Company through Sanyang Ferry every month was only about a few hundred barrels, which was not a lot.
He thought that even if he could get some supply, it would probably only be a few dozen barrels, no more than white barrels.
However, now, Lin Ziran has promised to supply their trading company with 300 barrels of kerosene every month.
Being so refreshing was beyond Zhou Li's expectation.
However, no matter what Zhou Li thinks, he doesn't know that the kerosene production capacity will be greatly increased in the future. Even Lin Ziran himself doesn't know how high it will be by then. It's only 300 barrels. What a joke!
And what's more important!
Although kerosene has mining costs and refining costs, these costs are simply negligible compared to its high selling price.
