Chapter three hundred and fiftieth chapters ten cars and Tianyu materials
"Oh! It's okay, I just calculated the time so that I can get back early." Zhang Junping quickly explained with a smile.
"Come back early? Are you going out?"
"Isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? Huang Xue and I have been together for more than a year. During the Chinese New Year, we will go back with Huang Xue to meet her parents."
"It's time to go there, you can't let your daughter follow you without any reason!
I don’t need you to worry about me here. They don’t just leave immediately after they come back. They have to stay until after the New Year and have a chance to meet.
You should go see your mother-in-law with peace of mind!" The old lady took Huang Xue's hand and said to Zhang Junping with a smile.
"It's okay, there's enough time. We'll leave the day after tomorrow. I'll be back in Sichuan for three or four days. It only takes a week to go back and forth. I can catch up with my senior brother and the others." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Everything is ready? Don't lose your etiquette!" the old lady said as she stood up.
…
In the western suburbs of BJ, a military green GAZ GA69 jeep was parked on the roadside.
Zhang Hua sat on the jeep, looking at his watch from time to time, and then looking into the distance.
Apparently he was waiting for someone.
Until it started to get dark, and there were car lights shining in the distance.
Ten liberation trucks of the first class drove over from a distance.
Zhang Hua was overjoyed, opened the car door, jumped out of the car, and waved to the approaching truck.
When the Jiefang truck approached, it was also a Gas Jeep.
Drive to Zhang Hua and stop.
A middle-aged man in military uniform jumped out of the car.
Zhang Hua ran up and saluted, "Hello, captain!"
"Okay!" The middle-aged soldier gave Zhang Hua a gift in return.
"Everything you asked for has been brought to you. Is what you said true?"
"Captain, I can't lie to anyone! It's absolutely true!" Zhang Hua nodded vigorously.
"Okay! Great! If this thing is done, you will have made great contributions to the army!" The middle-aged soldier happily patted Zhang Hua on the shoulder.
The middle-aged soldier was talking about the logistics company.
Zhang Hua wants to open a logistics company and carry out long- and short-distance logistics business, but he cannot do it alone.
Even though Zhang Hua's background is very deep, he is among the second-rate top group among the BJ guys.
There are also three, six or nine levels of brothers in BJ’s courtyard.
For example, Wang Shuo, Ye Jing and others are third-rate courtyard brothers, and the elders in the family are at the highest level of master level.
For a second-rate kid like Zhang Hua, the lowest elders in his family are at the military or ministerial level.
The first-class ones are naturally the state, deputy state, and the lowest are members of the Politburo or in the Military Commission.
That's too far.
Zhang Hua wants to open a logistics company, but he can't do it with the support of his family alone. In other words, the logistics companies all over the country are too big, and even if he does start one, he can't keep it.
Logistics companies all over the country are big businesses, and his family's power cannot stop others from prying eyes.
Therefore, Zhang Hua needs help.
The middle-aged soldier was the helper he was looking for.
A regiment-level cadre in his thirties has a much more advanced background than Zhang Hua.
Even among the first-class big courtyard boys, they are still in the middle and upper reaches of the rankings.
"Captain, I just want to continue to follow you and let's do something great together.
Let people see that we are not only men in the army, but also dragons in the field."
"Well said! We brothers will work together to achieve great things!" The group leader patted Zhang Hua on the shoulder again.
"I've brought ten carts of the Hetian jade you want. Is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll have to wait until the New Year for another trip."
"Ten carts is almost enough! If there's more, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat it."
Zhang Hua and the group leader chatted for a few more words before getting in their cars and driving towards the city.
………
When Zhang Junping received the news, it was already past eight o'clock at night.
It was the eldest brother-in-law who rode a bicycle to call him.
Zhang Junping and his eldest brother-in-law drove to the furniture factory and saw ten Jiefang trucks parked at the door.
"Brother Pingzi, my brother has brought Hetian jade to you!"
"Send Hetian jade? Are these all?" Zhang Junping pointed to the liberation truck.
"Yes! These ten cars are all! They all picked good jade for export!" Zhang Hua patted the carriage proudly and said: "You can check, if there is a piece of jade that is not export-grade, I don't want any money!"
Before the 1980s, Hotan jade was one of the ways for the country to earn foreign exchange through export.
Before the 1980s, Hetian jade was not allowed to be traded privately, and was purchased uniformly by the state and then classified.
Generally, the jade is transferred to various jade processing factories by means of transfer, processed into jade handicrafts, and then exported to earn foreign exchange.
To reach export level, it must be at least a second-grade jade material.
Seeing that the ten Jiefang trucks were filled with Hetian jade and the shock absorbers were flattened, Zhang Junping was a little confused.
When was the Hetian Yulun truck sold?
These ten Jiefang trucks must weigh more than 100 tons in total.
This is a bit exaggerated!
This is not the most exaggerated thing. The most exaggerated thing is that these more than 100 tons of Hetian jade are actually grade two or above.
This second-grade jade material is not the second-grade of later generations, but the second-grade of this era.
The second-grade products of this era will definitely be the first-grade products in future generations.
This is a bit scary.
First-grade Hetian jade will be sold on the basis of grams in later generations.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the classification of Hetian jade.
Hotan jade is divided into eight grades: mutton-fat jade, white jade, blue-white jade, sapphire, jasper, black jade, topaz, and sugar jade.
In fact, this grade is a bit general. The quality of Hetian jade cannot only be judged by color, but also by fineness, purity, transparency, oiliness, etc.
Therefore, according to details such as fineness, purity, transparency, oiliness, etc., it is divided into special grade, first grade, second grade, and third grade.
Or put another way, it can better reflect the value of special grade, first grade, second grade and third grade.
Special grade is priceless and rare to find on the market.
The first level is sold in grams, the second level is sold in kilograms, and the third level is sold in tons.
In later generations, most of the second-grade jade on the market was Qinghai jade, and most of the third-grade jade was Russian jade.
Zhang Junping didn't show any pretense and went straight to the car with a flashlight to check it out. After getting off, he asked excitedly: "Brother Hua, how much do you plan to sell these jade materials for?"
"These jade materials are at least second-grade jade materials, there are many first-grade seed materials, and there are even a lot of mutton-fat jade hidden in them.
I won’t break it down, just follow the price of one hundred yuan per kilogram.
These ten carts of jade materials definitely exceed one hundred tons, so let’s round it up to ten million!”
"Okay! Ten million is ten million!
However, I don't have any money to give you today!" Zhang Hua said cheerfully and Zhang Junping was also unambiguous.
"You don't have to give us money directly! You have a company in Xiangjiang, right? You make an agreement with Xiangjiang and I'll have someone contact the people in your Xiangjiang company directly. You just give him the money!" Zhang Hua said.
"Okay! We won't use the national exchange rate or the black market exchange rate. I'll just give you 15 million Hong Kong dollars!" Zhang Junping nodded happily.
In 1983, the exchange rate of the RMB against the Hong Kong dollar was approximately one Hong Kong dollar equal to more than 40 cents, and the RMB was more than double the Hong Kong dollar.
But on the black market, one Hong Kong dollar can be exchanged for more than 80 cents.
Zhang Junping’s offer of HK$15 million was considered a compromise price.
