The Port Authority is located in the south of Nangang City. Nangang Nangang, a city named after the geographical location of the port, is one of the first fourteen coastal cities to open to the outside world. Nangang has a very large natural harbor, which is equal to Qingdao.
Therefore, it is called Qingdao in the north and Nangang in the south.
As the unit that manages port affairs, the Port Authority undoubtedly plays a very important role in Nangang City.
Lin Wei held the big steering wheel and drove steadily towards the Port Authority.
This is a Dongfeng eqd140 truck with a load capacity of 5 tons. It usually carries more than ten tons of sugar cane and pulls it out of the plowing road. The "d" represents the diesel engine, and this model of eq141 is more powerful.
Yao Yuan found it too slow and urged, "Can you step on the accelerator more? If not, get off and I'll drive!"
"Ayuan, please stop joking. You can't drive. I studied for more than two years and took the driver's license test to take my dad's class." Lin Wei raised his chin.
What he is most proud of is becoming a driver. Drivers these days are an absolutely high-income group. Driving a taxi in a big city can easily earn more than 1,000 yuan a month. You must know that the salary level of a state-owned enterprise with good profits is only 300 yuan.
.
It's not as good as driving a truck, but it's much better.
Lin Wei looked forward to it and said, "By next season I will be able to run long distances and earn over a thousand a month. I will try to be the squad leader in three years, the vice captain of the team in six years, and the captain in ten years."
, the fixed salary is one thousand yuan."
It is Lin Wei's ideal to be the captain of a team, drink tea and read newspapers, and earn a salary of more than 1,000 yuan a month.
Yao Yuan snorted coldly, "Do you think the sugar factory can survive until the next crushing season?"
Before Lin Wei could say anything, Yao Yuan grabbed the steering wheel and pushed it to the side of the road, "Pull over and let me drive! It's a grind!"
"Ayuan, don't move! It's so dangerous!" Lin Wei was startled, and quickly slowed down and pulled over, saying angrily, "You're so stupid!"
Yao Yuan ignored him and got out of the car, went around and pulled him down, "Get on the passenger side!"
Lin Wei scratched his head so anxiously that his face turned red from holding back.
Yao Yuan tried his hand, stepped on the clutch, put the gear in gear, and kicked the accelerator, trying to close the door, "Can you get in the car?"
"You!" Lin Wei jumped up angrily, went around the back of the car and climbed into the passenger seat.
As soon as he closed the car door, Yao Yuan pushed the accelerator to the bottom, and the Dongfeng eqd140 suddenly jumped out, startling Lin Wei.
"Fasten your seat belt." Yao Yuan said subconsciously, quickly changed the gears, and soon reached a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
"What seat belt?" Lin Wei said angrily, finding that Yao Yuan's driving skills were more proficient than his master's, and asked in surprise, "A Yuan, when did you know how to drive?"
Yao Yuan chuckled and said, "I am an old driver. I have never driven any car. Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, British, American, French, little Japanese, but the one I have driven the most."
It’s made in China…”
"Just brag." Lin Wei said seriously.
Yao Yuan felt uncomfortable for a while. People in this era are so naive. No one can pick up the jokes when they are thrown out. It feels so uncomfortable...
"Seriously, I can even drive a tank, and our school has tanks," Yao Yuan said.
Lin Wei didn't believe it, "Just brag."
Driving left and right all the way, the road conditions were not good. They were all unpaved roads. Fortunately, they were flat roads that had been rolled over, so it was okay to run. In addition, there were relatively few cars on the road, so Yao Yuan kicked up long clouds of dust and moved forward.
Rushed.
Yao Yuan completed the 40-kilometer journey in only half an hour.
After turning off the engine and getting out of the car, Yao Yuan slammed the door and jumped out.
Lin Wei hurriedly got out of the car, followed him with short legs like a mountain, and kept asking, "Ayuan, when did you learn to drive? Why didn't I know? Who did you learn from? Master Zhang or Master Lin?"
They have the best skills in the team. By the way, Ayuan, show me your driver's license and let me see how you got it. I don't even know when you learned to drive. Why don't you?
Tell me I can learn with you..."
"Ayuan, ayuan, ayuan! You've been in my ears this whole time, ayuan, ayuan, ayuan! Can you fucking let me go?" Yao Yuan couldn't stand it, and scolded him with his eyes wide open.
"You're a bitch!" Lin Wei didn't fear at all and came back, but he stopped talking. Suddenly he realized that he was going to the dock warehouse in front of him. He hurriedly said, "Wrong, wrong, the Port Authority Building is over there!"
Yao Yuan glared, "I have so many eyes! If you keep talking nonsense, get back in the car!"
"Daw it!" Lin Wei rolled his eyes and jogged a few steps to catch up with Yao Yuan.
The door of the wharf warehouse was guarded by General Tie. The small door was open. A man in his thirties sat in the guard room, reading a newspaper with his legs crossed.
Yao Yuan strode over, took out the Hongtashan and dismantled it as he walked.
"Ayuan, you..." Lin Wei stared at Hongta Mountain. Yao Yuan glared at him and closed his mouth.
Yao Yuan walked into the guard room, smiled and handed over the cigarette, "Brother, have a cigarette."
"Huh?" The middle-aged man looked at Yao Yuan warily.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "We are from Xihai Sugar Factory. Brother, you smoke."
He pointed at the honest-faced Lin Wei behind him, "This is my colleague from the factory transportation team. Why don't you show your ID to my brother?"
Lin Wei opened his mouth, took out his work ID card from his jacket pocket and handed it over.
"Oh, you're from Xihai Sugar Factory, right?" The man took the cigarette and put it between his ears. He looked at his work ID and handed it back, "What's the matter?"
Yao Yuan said, "Didn't we get a batch of sugar from our dock a few sections ago? I want to pull a few trucks. Brother, who should I contact about this matter?"
"Pull white sugar?" The man asked doubtfully, "Your sugar factory is the one that produces sugar. What do you need white sugar for?"
Yao Yuan looked around, laughed and said nothing.
The man suddenly stared at Yao Yuan and looked at him again, thoughtfully.
"Brother, help me." Yao Yuan stuffed the whole bag of Hongtashan, took out another hundred yuan and stuffed it into the man's pocket.
The man stood up, stretched his neck and looked around a few times, coughed hard and walked out.
Lin Wei caught up with Yao Yuan and asked in a low voice: "Ayuan, what are you doing!"
Yao Yuan glared at him, "Stop talking!"
Lin Wei shrank his thick neck.
"Brother, what do you call me?" Yao Yuan asked.
The man said, "Luo Jinhong."
Yao Yuan found that Luo Jinhong was very calm, and he was wearing black trousers, a gray shirt, and leather shoes. The doorman would not dress like this. Yao Yuan thought to himself, if he remembered correctly, this guy was contracting the imported sugar business.
He is so unlucky that he even lost his wife.
"It's no problem if you want white sugar. You can get as much sugar as you want. We import sugar here, and the price is NT$3,000 per ton," said Luo Jinhong.
Yao Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled, "Brother Luo, you really know how to joke. I'm from a sugar factory."
"I'm not kidding. You don't want the imported sugar here. I see that you are an honest young man. It's okay for me to sell you some, but the price is non-negotiable." Luo Jinhong said.
Yao Yuan didn't mention the price at all, but Luo Jinhong focused on the price. This already explains the problem - the price is very important.
Yao Yuan's memory of this year's sugar price is too deep. In just two months from October 1991 to December 1992, the price of sugar went up several times, from 1,500 yuan per ton to a maximum of 5,000 yuan per ton!
Since the beginning of this year, the total volume of white sugar production, commercial compressed inventory sugar and imported sugar on the market has reached 10 million tons, far exceeding this year's market demand of 7.2 million tons, causing sugar prices to plummet, reaching as low as 1,500 yuan per ton!
Under this situation, the imported sugar in the dock warehouse cannot be sold at all!
Unless you are willing to sell at a loss.
Luo Jinhong is just pretending to be fat.
He used to be an employee of the Port Authority, and after going to sea, he became one of the first households worth ten thousand yuan. Now he has been reduced to the point where he can't even afford one hundred yuan. You can imagine how miserable his situation is.
However, Yao Yuan still admires him for being able to sit still even after he has reached this stage.
Yao Yuan got straight to the point, "Brother Luo, if I remember correctly, the remaining sugar in Warehouse No. 11 has been contracted by you a long time ago. Unfortunately, you didn't expect that the price of sugar will plummet this year, and this batch of imported sugar will suddenly hit the market."
In hand."
Luo Jinhong subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Yao Yuan from beginning to end.
Waving his hand, Yao Yuan said with a smile, "Actually, I am not a sugar factory employee. I am a student at NPU, but my brother is a genuine sugar factory employee."
"The country liberalized the sugar market at the beginning of the year. Brother Luo, you must have sensed the direction of the policy. At the same time, you found that the price of imported sugar was much lower than that of domestically produced sugar. You seized the opportunity to contract the import of two warehouses at a price slightly higher than the ex-warehouse price.
Sugar, normally speaking, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money from this business, and it is possible to become a millionaire."
"Unfortunately, the market demand is far lower than the supply, and the relationship between supply and demand has changed. The imported sugar in these two warehouses has suddenly become a hot potato."
"Brother Luo, I wonder if I made a mistake?"
Lin Wei was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Yao Yuan in disbelief and said in his heart, "A Yuan, just brag. How do you know there are so many things about others? If bragging doesn't pay taxes, just keep bragging. Why haven't I noticed that you like to brag before?"
However, Lin Wei was surprised to see Luo Jinhong's expression change, and it was obvious that he was right.
Luo Jinhong looked at Yao Yuan coldly, "How did you know?"
"The news has spread around the Port Authority, and I personally work at the Port Authority," Yao Yuan said.
Lin Wei thought to himself, you have no idea that you personally work at the Port Authority, and you are bragging!
When Luo Jinhong heard this, he let out a long sigh.
At first, he borrowed money from relatives and friends, and got a loan from the bank. He became the first person in the company to take advantage of the situation. At that time, he was promoted as a model, and he was not without pride.
The good times did not last long, the price of sugar plummeted, and the "tide wavers" became "idiots who bought high and sold low"...
The employer took pity on him and gave him a temporary job guarding the dock warehouse. He originally thought of waiting and hoping that the price of sugar would rise, but when he finally made up his mind to go out at a loss, he found that the market was no longer bearable!
"Now that you know everything, I have nothing to say. How about I give it to you according to the market wholesale price?" Luo Jinhong sighed and said.
Yao Yuan directly took out Luo Jinhong's pocket and took out the red tower that originally belonged to him. He took out a stick and took a puff, saying, "Your purchase price should be two thousand eighty, right? In this way, every ton you sell will cost you
A loss of thirteen hundred yuan."
Lin Wei's eyes twitched when he saw it, Ayuan, you are too shameless, haven't you already given this cigarette to someone else?
"It's a loss!" Luo Jinhong couldn't care less about Yao Yuan's rude actions. In the past few months, let alone door-to-door customers, no one wanted door-to-door delivery. He had to seize this customer and sell whatever he could.
, come back first and pay back the money in cash.
"I have a way to clear your inventory!"
Lin Wei almost didn't run away, the fat on his cheeks was shaking, Ayuan was bragging to the sky!
