Chapter 249 Big Buying
Linchang County, Wujing Coal Mine.
Armed with a letter of introduction from Pingyang County Electric Power Company, Zhao Wenmu and Zheng Guangming successfully met Section Chief Cao, who was in charge of sales at the coal mine.
A middle-aged man who is not tall and whose skin is as dark as coal.
The conversation went very smoothly.
The other party readily agreed to sell the coal to them.
However, there are only 3,000 tons, and the price is as high as 42 yuan per ton.
"Chief Cao, three thousand tons is too little!"
"To be honest, Pingyang Power Plant is about to run out of coal, which will greatly and directly affect the production and life of hundreds of thousands of people! Wujing Coal Mine is the largest coal mining company in the Changwei area. Please help!"
When discussing cooperation with official state-owned coal mines, talking about people's livelihood, and talking about interests, both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be strong.
Zhao Wenmu tried several times and found that the price of 42 yuan per ton was the bottom line of Wujing Coal Mine.
No need to talk.
I have no choice but to expand the purchase quantity as much as possible.
And three thousand tons is indeed too little!
According to calculations by Lou Guojing and Liang Chunqing, the coal shortage of Pingyang Power Plant is about 80,000-100,000 tons!
In comparison, three thousand tons is just a drop in the bucket and cannot solve any problem.
"Comrade Zhao, it's really not that we won't sell it to you!"
Section Chief Cao was also very helpless, with a black face that was almost twisted together.
"Your timing is so unlucky!"
He spread his hands and explained to Zhao Wenmu in detail why he said that.
"The coal mine did have an independent sales target of 14,000 tons last year, but they were all sold out at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. And this year's planned tasks have not been completed yet, so we don't dare to sell them casually!"
"Once we sell too much, we find that the planned targets cannot be achieved by the end of the year, and thousands of people in the entire mine will be affected!"
This explanation is indeed reasonable.
Theoretically, the independent sales target of coal mines is the excess after completing the national plan.
However, it is still the first half of the year, and naturally it is not certain whether the national plan can be completed throughout the year.
What if something unexpected happens in the second half of the year, causing a sharp decline in production?
In the end, Zhao Wenmu worked hard, and the other party reluctantly agreed to allocate 2,000 tons to him from the mining area's own quota.
The total is 5,000 tons.
"Comrade Zhao, please come back in the fourth quarter. We should have a quota by then!"
Section Chief Cao almost said, "Please, please leave quickly."
But what he said makes sense. We can come back in the fourth quarter.
Anyway, the coal shortage at Binh Duong Power Plant will last until the end of the year.
Even if it is 5,000 tons of coal, it cannot be transported in ten days and a half by just relying on a few trucks.
After signing an agreement with Wujing Coal Mine and paying a deposit of 10,000 yuan, the deal was finalized.
For 5,000 tons of coal, the net profit per ton is about 10 yuan.
The total profit is 50,000 yuan.
So-so.
Zhao Wenmu was thinking this in his heart, but his face was as calm as water.
Later, we invited the coal mine leaders to have a meal together to lay the emotional foundation for longer-term cooperation in the future.
Qian Erniu and others did not return to the guest house until after ten o'clock at night.
Just when Zhao Wenmu was about to get impatient with waiting, a group of people returned to the room drunkenly.
"Third brother, today we received a total of 114 tons of coal stamps!"
“Only 22 yuan per ton!”
After washing his face, Qian Erniu was in high spirits, with no trace of drunkenness on his smiling face.
This price is very surprising.
The net profit per ton is almost 30 yuan!
There is basically no way for the coal stamps in the miners' hands to be sold to the outside world, and they can get free coal from the mines, so the coal stamps are of little significance to them.
Because of this, they are willing to sell it for 22 yuan a ton.
"I also found two local people who were familiar with the situation and asked them to buy coal stamps and gave them two yuan per ton."
"I just had a few drinks with them tonight."
Qian Erniu explained.
Otherwise, how could he drink when he followed Zhao Wenmu out to work?
“Well done!”
Zhao Wenmu patted Qian Erniu on the shoulder and praised him sincerely.
Whether it is purchasing coal at 22 yuan per ton or developing locally, it is a very good result.
"Tomorrow I will take the drivers back first, and you will continue to stay here to collect coal stamps. This work will probably last until the end of the year!"
"Pay attention to safety and go to bed early."
Zhao Wenmu instructed.
"Okay, third brother, don't worry!"
Qian Erniu readily agreed and went back to his room to have a meeting with his younger brothers.
Early the next morning, three large trucks went to the mining area to pick up the goods and returned to Pingyang County carrying Zhao Wenmu, Zheng Guangming, and Shi Hou.
Qian Erniu led a group of young people and continued to buy coal stamps at family homes in the mining area.
Lou Guojing and Liang Chunqing were pleasantly surprised by the large truck that returned fully loaded, and immediately dispatched more trucks to Zhao Wenmu.
In just one month, 7,000 tons of high-quality coal from Wujing Coal Mine were transported back to Pingyang County.
Two thousand tons of it are coal stamps purchased manually from miners.
From this transaction, Zhao Wenmu made a profit of 110,000!
Qian Erniu did not let up and continued to fight at Zhuliudian Coal Mine and Fangzi Coal Mine in Changwei area.
Later, it expanded its business to Yanzhou Coal Mine.
During this year, Zhao Wenmu's team helped the power plant purchase 57,000 tons of coal.
About 14,000 tons of this came from miners' welfare coal stamps.
The total profit exceeded 850,000 yuan!
It has made an indelible contribution to Pingyang County’s year-round power supply.
"Xiao Zhao, on behalf of the people of the whole county, I thank you!"
At a symposium at the end of the year, County Magistrate Feng held Zhao Wenmu’s hand and said excitedly.
Of course, this is all for later.
The most important thing for Zhao Wenmu right now is that he finally has money in his hands!
He holds hundreds of thousands in cash.
I finally felt a sense of security in my heart.
In mid-July, under the escort of Shi Hou, Zhao Wenmu went to the capital in person to take Zhao Wenqiu and Zheng Xiaowen back to Pingyang County.
"Third brother, restrain your people and be careful with some others."
Zhao Wenqiu reminded Zhao Wenmu many times in private.
In particular, beware of all kinds of overt and covert attacks.
There are many famous people, and Zhao Wenmu has a big family and a big business, so he naturally has many enemies.
Xu Peng and Zhou Xiaohu, who are really villains who can't stand up to the stage, are not scary.
The real danger is those hypocrites who appear to be high-sounding but may give you a fatal blow at any time.
Zhao Wenmu had naturally expected this. With his current status, he was not powerless, so it was not that easy to control him.
