Material Empire

Xingchuan.

After the Central Working Group left, there was no news. The county head Gao Xuejian originally thought that the working group had made a trip and would pick up some faults anyway. After waiting for more than half a month, he did not see any first-level leaders say hello to Xingchuan County. This made Gao Xuejian somewhat surprised and felt Easy.

The award for Guo Qiushi came very quickly. The provincial Ministry of Publicity issued a document asking the cadres in the province to learn the glorious deeds of Guo Qiushi for saving himself. Various honors, such as excellent party members and model workers, have been prepared, and they will only be honored when they are suitable. After being sent to the army hospital in the provincial capital, Guo Qiushi enjoyed a high level of treatment and care. Wang Yue went to visit the provincial capital several times to visit him. Every time he asked when he would be discharged from the hospital, Guo Qiushi smiled and didn't answer, and seemed to be planning to stay in the hospital for a long time.

These events in the officialdom did not affect the more than 100 small steel companies in the county at all. During this time, there seemed to be more customers going to Xingchuan to order steel. Except for a few familiar faces that they had met before, most of them were the first appearances of Hanyu 2015. The small bosses of the steel plant didn't care much about this. As long as they could pay, who cares if they are regular customers?

Lu Dashuang recently received a good job, and a customer who claimed to be from the Yangtze River Delta ordered 8,000 tons of steel from him and asked for delivery within two months. Lu Dashuang made a rough calculation. If this order is done well, it will at least bring him a gross profit of more than 2 million. With this money, he will not have any problems if he does not start construction this year.

The customer paid a 10% deposit in advance. It was said that Luda would send the steel to the designated delivery location in four times, and settle the cost of steel delivered by the clearing house until the entire contract was finally completed. This condition does not pose any risk to Lu Dashuang. The deposit paid by the customer in advance is 1.5 million, and Lu Dashuang delivered 2,000 tons of steel for the first time. The cost is about 3 million, and you need to pay 1.5 million in advance. But Lu Dashuang didn't have to worry about the other party making an appointment, because there was a 1.5 million deposit. If the other party agrees, Lu Dashuang can easily sell 2000 tons of steel at a low price. Can even earn more.

The customer left after paying the deposit, and Lu Dashuang didn't dare to delay, and immediately contacted the supplier who had provided scrap steel for himself in the past, so that they could hurry to deliver to themselves. The supplier's side is also unusually happy, saying that as long as the payment is in place, how much scrap is required, and it can always meet the needs.

Some of the small steel plants in Xingchuan County own their own iron-making blast furnaces and use molten iron to make steel. But the vast majority adopt the so-called "short-flow outline". That is, the method of directly smelting the scrap steel. The cost of steelmaking with scrap steel is much higher than steelmaking with pig iron, but the equipment is very simple. It only needs an electric furnace and a simple set of steel casting and rolling equipment is sufficient. Lu Dashuang's Tongxin Steel Plant uses this short-flow steelmaking method, so scrap steel must be used as a raw material.

Smelting 8,000 tons of steel in two months has exceeded the production capacity of Tongxin Steel Plant. Lu Dashuang is not worried about this. There are more than a dozen small steel mills in Dongdaogou Village. He can't finish the work and can subcontract to other steel mills, as long as he takes some of the profits and pays them. In the past. Each steel mill subcontracts each other in this way, the factories with business eat meat, the factories without business drink soup. Everyone is very tacit.

However, this time the situation was somewhat abnormal. When Lu Dashuang took the order and went to several other steel mill bosses to discuss the subcontracting, he unexpectedly found that others also held large orders. Plants anxious to collaborate.

"How many tons did you receive?"

These days, the little bosses of Dongdaogou Village asked each other this way when they met. Some factories took thousands of tons and some factories took hundreds of tons. They all agreed to deliver within one or two months. For the case of such an order as cloud. The little bosses can be described as mixed, and where they are happy there is business to do. And such a hot business means that the future market is also very impressive. As for concerns. That is, can their own production capacity keep up, will scrap prices rise as a result, and, if the factories start at the same time, the power grid may be difficult to carry.

Anyway, having a business is a good thing after all, and everyone is happily engaged in intense work. In addition to Dongdaogou Village, other small steel mills in other villages also encountered similar good luck. For a time, a large truck pulling scrap steel filled the road to Xingchuan. As each small steel mill has to advance the purchase of scrap steel, Xingchuan's loan shark business is also booming.

"How could the recent steel business be so good?"

Gao Xuejian was a bit surprised when he received the report below. Xingchuan's small iron and steel plant is an important source of revenue for the county. It is very clear how high the business volume of a year is. In just ten days, each steel plant has received orders, and the business volume has almost exceeded the total amount in the past year. No matter how you look at this kind of thing, there are some evil things.

"Will it be that the real estate in the South is booming, and the steel gap is widening." Wang Yue speculated.

"If you don't come early or come late, the central working group will leave on the front foot, and there will be so many customers on the back foot to order steel. Do you think there will be any connection between these two things?"

Wang Yue thought about it, shook his head and said, "I can't tell ... it will never be the Central Working Group that advertises for us?"

"What's the blind thought!" Gao Xuejian reprimanded, "I mean, is this one of the famous teams in the working group?"

"You mean, the working group wants to plant loot in our county? We deliberately asked us to do business?" Wang Yue said, "I don't think it seems necessary, right?"

"It's true that if they want to reorganize our county, there is no need to make such a big bend in my personal Marvel system. Besides, looking at the situation reported below, these merchants have paid a deposit, and the working group could not find us Is it troublesome to mobilize so much money? "Gao Xuejian analyzed.

This kind of discussion is destined to have no results. Gao Xuejian asked Wang Yue to go to a few small steel mills to investigate. The answers he received were that the customers had a name and a surname, and the deposits they paid were all real gold and silver, and could not be a liar. Besides, everyone can't see the significance of such a scam. To catch the braids of Xiaosteel in Xingchuan County, you don't need to exert such effort at all.

"Tomorrow is the time to deliver the first batch of goods. At that time, I will deliver the goods and ask the other person to charge the money to the account. Isn't it all right?" Wang Yue, who came to ask in two directions, did this Said.

"Where is the delivery place?" Wang Yue asked.

"Dalun City." Lu Dashuang said.

Dalun is a port city in Yanning Province. In the past, steel in Yanning Province was often sold to other provinces and cities by sea. It is a very normal requirement for merchants to request Lu Dashuang to send steel to Dalun. The delivery point is said to be at the freight terminal in Dalun, which is where there is king law, so there is no possibility of looting these steels.

Could it be an unusual deal? Wang Yue was puzzled.

In the early morning of the next day, dozens of 50-ton trucks arrived in Dongdaogou Village. Lu Dashuang commanded the crane to load the rolled steel onto the car, and then personally sat in the front of the first large truck and escorted it. The steel-carrying convoy swung onto the highway and headed for Dalun.

"Boss Lu, I have delivered a lot of goods this time, are you rich?"

The driver was Bai Wanxin, who was also an old acquaintance with Lu Dashuang. In the past, an order from Tongxin Steel Plant was a hundred tons, and often a few hundred tons. Only three or four trucks were needed. This time, Lu Dashuang asked Bai Wanxin to find more than a dozen trucks and said that they had to be transported several times. Bai Wanxin is also a knowledgeable person. If you estimate the quantity a little, you can also guess that Lu Dashuang's profits are huge.

"Haha, so careless." Lu Dashuang said proudly, "This time, a total of 2,000 tons were sent, and three times later, a total of 8,000 tons. However, now steelmaking has little profit, which is just making hard money, It ’s not as good as if you run transportation. It costs nothing. It ’s all a net profit. "

Bai Wanxin laughed: "Boss Lu said that he laughed. We ran a year of transportation, and the money we made was not even your odds. My cousin is only engaged in steel. He said that at least 500 yuan per ton of steel, Your 8,000 tons is 4 million. Is this still so-so? "

Lu Dashuang waved his hand and said, "When a ton of steel earns 500 yuan? When did this happen? How can there be such a good thing now. This month, not only my family got the business, but other factories also received the business ~ www.novelmtl .com ~ The price of scrap steel has increased by more than 100 yuan. I ca n’t make even 100 yuan per ton of steel now, and how much money is needed to clear the relationship. Do n’t tell me, I borrowed this time. The loan sharks coming into scrap steel are waiting to receive the payment today.

"This is because the group of loan sharks is not good at talking, and paying back the money one day is thousands of thousands of interest." Bai Wanxin said with sympathy.

The two were talking, not realizing that the convoy had left Xingchuan County and entered Kangtai County next door. Turning around a hillside, Lu Dashuang saw at a glance a few cars parked on the road ahead, and there were some people standing next to it, among them were some policemen wearing big caps.

"Lao Bai, what's going on?" Lu Dashuang asked.

Bai Wanxin looked up and said dejectedly: "It may be a temporary inspection, check for overload, drunk driving, and so on. Our cars are overtaking a little, and it is estimated that we will be fined 800 yuan."

"It's okay, shouldn't we say in advance that the fine for overload is counted to me." Lu Dashuang patted his chest. He asked for the overload, so he could only pay the fine. A fine of RMB 800 or 800 is a dime for the expected profit, and Lu Dashuang didn't take it seriously. (To be continued)
