When we arrived at the Nancheng Building where the Zhonghaibang is currently located, it was time for the real dinner. The streets were brightly lit, people were hurried, and the restaurants were busy with cars coming and going.
Nancheng Building is the new location of the China Shipping Gang. As the current largest gang in China Shipping, for image considerations, the office has been moved to this 58-story building. The first to the eighth floors are all rented because it is not so. There are many staff members, and the two floors in the middle are empty, which made Tan Jiaojiao, the housekeeper, blamed for a long time.
Because it was already dinner time, Mi Wei, who got the call in advance, did not go back. Instead, he took a few brothers and Tan Jiaojiao in a nearby hotel box to have dinner while waiting for Zhang Yuan.
"Brother Hai, I haven't seen you for a few days. The whole point is white?" The fourth Lin Yue is not what he used to sell aquatic products. He is also decent, but Zhang Yuan knows that no matter what they are, they They were both soldiers once, with an overall view, a sense of obedience, and a willingness to repay them. This is why Zhang Yuan is very relieved of them.
"En..." Zhang Yuangang wanted to take the cup and pick it up, but Tan Jiaojiao who was sitting next to him stretched out her hand, took the cup, and poured a drink to Zhang Yuan, "You have to drive right away."
The donkey-tempered dead girl knows that she cares about her husband, which is good, but her own opinion is not good. It seems that this girl needs to be trained. Zhang Yuan didn't say much, took a sip of the drink, and quickly got to the point.
Asked: "What do you know about the refined oil business at the small terminal?"
Mi Wei frowned and said, "To be honest, we know something but not in detail. I have discussed this matter several times, but since we have not yet established a foothold in the urban area, we decided to slowly penetrate in the future. ."
Zhang Yuan nodded and said nothing. Tan Jiaojiao is not clear about these matters. She is generally only responsible for financial issues, so she asked: "What kind of refined oil? Smuggling? I heard that the blow was quite severe. We need to mix it up. Is it right?"
Tan Jiaojiao’s words were approved by several other brothers. Indeed, the Zhonghai Gang looks good outside, but in fact, its strength has not been greatly expanded. The bosses of each district below are in their own hands, and they will never take the initiative to report when they encounter good things. , Immediately ask the headquarters for assistance.
The city's sphere of influence hasn't been settled yet, so why go to other places to grab the east and the west
Zhang Yuan waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. Then he said, "Now I just want to know the situation, but it seems that you are not very clear about the refined oil, and you still don't know how much profit there is. Why don't you give us an introduction? ."
He got up and said, "Since Mr. Tan and other brothers are not very clear about refined oil products, I will introduce you to the situation. After listening to everyone, you will know why the wolf gang and the Pudong gang were so powerful at the time and produced so much. I can’t even get involved."
Then he said: "Refined oil refers to petroleum products that can be used after certain processing, mainly gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, etc., as everyone knows the purpose, it is needed for automobiles, motorcycles, airplanes, and ships, so I won’t say more. ."
"First of all, I come to the market. I was born in a fruit stall. In fact, no matter how big a business is, it is the same as a fruit stall. The first one is the market. If there is a city penalty, it means there is demand. If there is demand, this business has a future. , And then consider factors such as quality, price, and service."
There was some truth in saying that everyone on the wine table nodded and said: “As we all know, our country’s energy consumption is extremely huge, and domestic production can only provide a small part of it, so a large amount of imports is always needed. This gave a huge market for refined oil products. However, because these resources are controlled by the state and controlled by several domestic giants, high monopoly generates high income. They also have the final say, and retailers have relatively small profits. There is huge room for the underground refined oil market. That is to say, as long as you have the goods and the price is lower than the monopoly price, then someone will receive the goods. This is the greatest convenience for producing refined oil. The demand is very strong."
Speaking clearly and clearly, this kid still has a little eloquence. Zhang Yuan nodded and helped him fill up the wine and deliver it.
Encouraged by Zhang Yuan, he drank the wine and continued: "Secondly, the profit of producing refined oil is also huge. For example, last year, when the price of oil fell the most, the price of gasoline in the United States was 140 cents a gallon. , Which is about 4,000 yuan per ton. At the same time, the domestic wholesale price is 6,585 yuan per ton, and the difference per ton is more than 2,500 yuan. The transportation and all costs are fully paid, which is 1,000 yuan per ton, so make a ton. You can make a net profit of 1,500 yuan."
1500 yuan did not surprise everyone, after all, no one has done it before, and I can't figure out how much a ton is, but the following words surprised everyone.
"Usually a small boat can smuggle a few tons or ten tons at a time, but those are just scattered fishermen to make a little money back and forth. But for a real large transport ship, they have hidden cabins under the cargo hold, and the amount is huge. , It can smuggle more than 500 tons each time. According to the situation we know, the old terminal now enters and exits hundreds of tons of refined oil every day."
Jiaojiao was taken aback, "That is to say, if they remove all expenses every day, they will have a net profit of hundreds of thousands?"
"At least 10 to be precise: "Because I was just talking about gasoline, in fact, they are more profitable diesel and heavy oil, and they have a familiar way to buy from Russia, which has cheaper oil prices. There are many aspects of freight. It can also be discounted, which does not include the factor of rising oil prices. "
"One million a day!" Everyone was shocked again. According to this calculation, the annual net income would be more than 300 million. What a huge number, and how critical it is when the China Shipping Group is currently seriously short of money. With such a large fixed income, all the difficulties faced by that are solved.
Zhang Yuan smiled and asked Tan Jiaojiao, "Is this cake attractive?"
Tan Jiaojiao nodded first, but then frowned again, "The more attractive the cake, the harder it is to eat, right?"
"That's right." The interface said again: "Let me introduce the previous situation to everyone. The old wharf is 50 kilometers away from the city. A few decades ago, it was an important port for the import and export of materials from China Shipping and the entire Yangtze River Delta region. When Yangshan Port and Zhonghai New Port were built, the old wharf was in decline. The fishermen who usually lived there stopped some fishing boats, but because fishing boats often went out to sea, they would bring back some smuggled cheap goods, which gradually formed there. A wholesale market for smuggled goods."
"In the beginning, it was just some unorganized small vendors who came here to make money, but some small businessmen started to make money early, got rich, got bigger and bigger and more profitable, so there was a nearby fisherman named Ding Ashui. A lot of fishermen were organized to form a smuggling gang, which used fishing as a guise to smuggle goods abroad."
"As their appetite increased, the smuggled goods changed from electronic products to bulk goods such as refined oil cars. Later, they also set up a company and simply leased all the old docks and became their smuggling base. Several thousand-ton oil storage depots have also been built nearby."
"So big? No one cares?" Tan Jiaojiao was surprised again.
Zhang Yuan replied: "Of course someone is in charge, but they have money and they have huge financial resources. If the pipeline is not available, then the road will be bought. Is there a way in this world that money can't buy? For so many years, this has been A strong community of interests has benefited from how many officials, departments and companies."
"Is there no good officials in this world?" Tan Jiaojiao sighed sadly. In fact, she was just a college student before. , Who knows that society is far darker than she knows.
Zhang Yuan smiled, "Tell you a story. In ancient Rome, there was a very fair judge. He never received money from the defendant. People gave him a very good evaluation. Once there was one in Rome. The rich man’s son killed someone. The rich man sent a box of gold coins in the middle of the night. The judge returned it the next day. Then that night, the rich man sent another five boxes of gold coins. On the third day, the judge returned it, and the rich man returned that night. Yes, this time he brought fifty boxes of gold coins. The judge gave a long sigh and accepted the gold coins. On the fourth day, he acquitted the rich man’s son."
Tan Jiaojiao pouted her lips and said with contempt: "What kind of a fair judge is this? Didn't he think he had less money the first two times?"
"No." Zhang Yuan shook his head. "Later someone else commented on him like you said. The judge said helplessly. Money can help the gods. He just wants to buy his son's life. If I don't accept it, he will Take fifty boxes of gold coins and go to the emperor to buy my life."
"That's right." The interface said: "If you get in the way of them, they will buy up the officials at the next level, dismiss your officials, or even buy a killer to kill you, and you have to collect the money. If you don’t accept it, you have to accept it."
"Hey, this society is really hopeless." Tan Jiaojiao sighed.
Regardless of Tan Jiaojiao's disappointment in the society, Zhang Yuan raised his hand and said in opposition: "Continue to introduce the situation."
