Five hundred tons, darling, isn’t that a big deal of nearly half a million dollars? It looks like you’re making a lot of money this time!
"It's not easy for me to come here. Naturally, I have to buy more. As long as you have the goods, Boss Zhu, it's easy to negotiate the price."
Zhu Changgui was very tempted, but the batch of steel he had hoarded was just sold to Gu Xingdong. The total raw materials in the factory now probably don't even amount to five tons.
But this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if he doesn't need to process it, as long as he buys ready-made steel, he can make twenty or thirty yuan from the price difference when it is resold.
"Since the production restriction order came down, to be honest, we have been greatly affected here. You asked for 500 tons as soon as you asked. This is really difficult to handle."
Even if he wanted to take on this job, five hundred tons was indeed beyond his capabilities.
The man hesitated for a moment and said reluctantly: "I'm really anxious. Otherwise, Boss Zhu, please get me 300 tons first. It really can't be any less. I'll get over the urgent need first, and we'll do the rest slowly."
?”
"I don't know how long it will take you to prepare?"
"It's been a week, and the transportation will be delayed for some time. I'm really worried!" the man said anxiously.
Zhu Changgui nodded, looking very anxious. He was about to raise the price.
"You want so much and in such a hurry, what about the price?"
"I've already inquired. The going price on your black market is nine hundred. I'll give Boss Zhu nine hundred and five. What do you think?"
The second lady smiled and answered: "You want so much and you are in such a hurry. To be honest, it is not easy for us to just deal with this piece. The price of 950 is too low."
The man frowned: "I'm really anxious, otherwise you can make a price."
Zhu Changgui: "One thousand and one, it cannot be lower than this number. I promise to get you three hundred tons within a week."
"This..." The man hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "One thousand and one is one thousand and one, who asked me to be in a hurry, but I need you, Boss Zhu, to sign a guarantee agreement with me, and I am willing to spend a week waiting.
You can collect 300 tons of steel. If you can't collect it by the time, you must compensate me at double the transaction amount."
This time it was Zhu Changgui's turn to hesitate.
If he can't collect 300 tons in a week, then he has to pay more than 600,000 yuan?
But at a price of one thousand and one, as long as he can collect 300 tons, he can easily make more than a dozen by flipping it.
These days, the brave will starve to death, and the timid will starve to death. Moreover, the other party has also said that they will cooperate in the future. As long as we do it safely this time and get on his line, won't Pengcheng be flooded with money by then?
To be honest, if the other party didn't add this clause in the guarantee agreement, he would really be a little undecided. Now that he has added this clause, doesn't it mean that he is really anxious to run out of stock?
I have been working locally for so many years and I still have some connections. Director Cui of Xiangyang Steel Plant has been working with him for a long time. As long as he opens his mouth, there should be no big problem.
After thinking about this, Zhu Changgui said: "Okay, I will follow what you said, but after signing the agreement, we need to pay a part of the deposit first."
Without saying a word, the man opened the leather bag he was carrying and took out a few bundles of cash: "There is a total of 50,000 here. The rest will be transferred to Boss Zhu when we see the goods. What do you think?"
He took out the money so happily. Zhu Changgui wanted to ask him to pay half of the deposit first, but in the end he had to swallow it. Anyway, it was not short of this week. It would not be good to be too stingy.
After separating from his man, Zhu Changgui immediately started buying steel bars.
His factory is not big, with only a dozen people. It is definitely too late to start production now, so he can only go to Xiangyang Iron and Steel Plant.
"What brought you here, brother?" Cui Xiangqian saw Zhu Changgui coming over and pointed to the seat on one side with a smile: "Sit down."
"My brother is encountering some difficulties this time. Brother Cui, you have to help me no matter what."
Cui Qianqian laughed and said: "Which of us will follow whom? If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"I want to purchase 300 tons of steel bars, and I will definitely not treat Brother Cui badly in terms of price."
"Three hundred tons, so much?"
Seeing Zhu Changgui nodding, Cui Xiangqian pondered for a moment and said, "When do you want it?"
"Within a week." Zhu Changgui: "I know you are in a difficult position, brother, but I really have no choice but to ask you, Brother Cui."
"It's been such a rush week. Our factory's raw materials were already in short supply. We've already received orders from the next few factories. You suddenly want three hundred tons. If it's three to five tons, I'll definitely help you without even saying a word. This old man
There’s really nothing I can do, brother.”
Zhu Changgui placed all his hopes on Cui Xiangqian. The two had been working together for a year or two. Unexpectedly, he rejected him. Thinking of the compensation contract he had just signed, Zhu Changgui said truthfully: "To be honest, brother, I have one now.
It's a big deal, Brother Cui, please help me think of a solution."
Cui Xiangqian thought for a moment and said, "Well, I do have a solution."
Zhu Changgui's eyes lit up when he heard what he said, and he urged: "Brother Cui, tell me what you can do."
"There is a top 100 steel factory in Qingling City down there. Their factory called me two days ago. We have known each other for more than ten years. Naturally, there is nothing we can't say. Seeing that there are still more than two months to go.
It's the Gregorian calendar year, and the tax quota issued by their factory this year has not yet been completed. The factory is also facing difficulties, so I want to ask someone I can trust to help me contact and trade a batch of steel products privately. You and I must be trustworthy.
But the price may be a bit high.”
"I knew you were right to find Brother Cui. It's no problem to go higher!"
Zhu Changgui nodded happily. He didn't expect that he would meet a noble person. It seemed that his fortune was really good this year.
"Let's do this. I'll tell you his phone number and let you know how to contact him, so I won't spread the word."
"Okay, Brother Cui, you have really helped me a lot. I will treat you to a drink when this matter is over."
After getting the phone number from Cui Xiangqian, Zhu Changgui called Cui Xiangxiang's friend Xu Zhisheng.
"Director Cui introduced me to that business. It's not convenient to talk on the phone. Let's discuss the price in detail when you come over."
Hearing the busy signal from the phone, Zhu Changgui also put the phone down, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes unconsciously.
The next day, he drove to Qingling City with his second wife.
Qingling City is about a hundred kilometers away from his city. The two set out early in the morning. Because the road was not smooth, it took them almost four hours to reach the Baiqiang Steel Plant.
"Director Xu, hello, I am Zhu Changgui. Brother Cui introduced me to Xiangqian." Zhu Changgui looked at the man in front of him and hurriedly reached out to shake hands with him.
