The two weeks in early June were a huge test for Li Shenggang. Before the electrolytic aluminum plant started operating, the plant consumed an average of 500,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity every day. As Huang Xuan's domestic agent—and the only one he could use— People, Li Shenggang was asked to ensure the power supply.
He didn't know why Huang Xuan had such a strange request. Maybe it was the Huang family's business secrets? But for him, the most important thing is to hug the thick legs and hold them tight. As long as you hug the eldest young master of the Huang family, you can say anything.
However, the good times did not last long, and the electricity consumption of the aluminum plant soared, once reaching 1.8 million kilowatt-hours per day. Such high electricity consumption even exceeded the consumption of the power plant in its heyday, and basically reached the maximum output of the transformer. And in this hot summer, the peak of civilian electricity consumption requires factories to reduce production and limit electricity. All these things make Li Shenggang very busy.
When Huang Xuan informed Li Shenggang that he wanted to increase the power supply, Li Shenggang almost cried. He held the phone and shouted: "Boss, we can't add more. These days, not only the factory director suspects me of corruption, but also people from the city come to talk and ask us to stop stealing electricity. They think we are using the electricity here to provide other factories." "I didn't dare to say anything about the supply. I treated them to two meals, but now that electricity is so tight for people, the factory will have to restrict electricity use if it continues to use it."
Huang Xuan just said "I know" softly, and then encouraged: "As long as you continue to ensure the use of electricity, you don't have to worry about anything else. I will reimburse you for treats and so on. In addition, you only need to be responsible to me, those factory directors and so on." , why bother with them?”
What Li Shenggang was waiting for was Huang Xuan's words. He said yes again and again, and hung up the phone with satisfaction, thinking: "No matter how awesome you are, Old Lin, do you know the boss's phone number? Is it useful? What's the use?" Thinking of him Just laughed.
Neither Huang Xuan nor Lorraine cares much about the production situation of the electrolytic aluminum plant. For Huang Xuan, it would be good if the products produced by such backward production equipment do not lose money. Why spend energy on this? Lorraine is more direct. He does not want normal production to affect his energy income when the factory starts operating. After all, the load of the power transmission equipment is fixed and cannot be increased without limit.
After hanging up the phone, Lorraine said: "We still need about 1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity supply before the base can be upgraded and moved to Brazil.
Huang Xuan let out a helpless sigh. He was now a pauper. If the money invested in Xinye Company was not counted, he was even in negative equity. Turning off the computer, Huang Xuan shook his head and said, "Lorraine, we are going to run out of money."
"But it will be available soon." Lorraine was still very concerned about "our" money. He turned on the printer himself and asked it to spit out a dozen information, saying: "There is a Japanese named Jiro Nakajima who wants to buy our money. Whale meat, sell it and we’ll have money.”
"Okay. I hope we have money." Huang Xuan stretched. Sometimes, he also had to wonder whether he was using Lorraine or Lorraine was using him. The little money he finally earned basically turned into He gave the energy to Lorraine, but the help he hoped for has yet to be seen. It would be really embarrassing if you were deceived by a stupid machine.
…
The Japanese are the cleaners of the world. They not only wander around the Straits of Malacca, but also cross the oceans, sniffing the smells of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, hoping to get some leftover food that others have eaten or forgotten to eat.
The Japanese Jiro Nakajima who was spotted by Lorraine was a small businessman - compared to those large enterprises, a company with only 4 people can be called a leather bag company. But with just one employee, Nakajima operates import and export trade throughout Latin America, buying anything available and selling any goods that can make money.
Nakajima's business always satisfies his customers. The only thing that may cause dissatisfaction is probably the profit. Nakajima's strong demand for profits even exceeds the extent of his bow. At some points, he even demanded to take 60% income, but for Huang Xuan, he is happy to give up part of the profits. He has never pursued huge profits, although his transaction itself is huge profits.
In addition to Jiro Nakajima, there are two Japanese and an American who have joined the bidding. Huang Xuan does not need to meet them. The development of science and technology requires high-speed business cooperation, especially when one kilogram of whale meat is delivered by express delivery When arriving at the other party's apartment, the friendship between the two parties instantly increases.
The most direct receptor for credit is naturally the quality of the product, and whale meat from 400 years ago is already high-quality in nature.
As environmental pollution intensifies, whether it is shrimps or sharks, there is a serious enrichment phenomenon in organisms in the earth's environment. This phenomenon was first discovered in DDT - in the original idea, this pesticide had the characteristics of high efficiency and low usage. However, in the following ten years, people unexpectedly discovered that in organisms at the high end of the food chain, Excessively high DDT residues have occurred.
This situation is becoming more and more prominent in marine life, perhaps because the biological chain of marine life is longer. When small fish eat shrimps and big fish eat small fish, the residues originally left in the bodies of the shrimps will accumulate on the small fish, and then on the big fish. After many times of superposition, the fish at the top of the food chain will There will be serious enrichment of organisms.
What is reflected in whales is the accumulation of mercury.
Although the extent is not enough to cause illness - after all, people cannot eat whale every day, but for businessmen, they hope that people will not reduce their desire to buy for any reason, just like their desire for profit. In addition, the Japanese government has also imposed strict limits on mercury content in fish, which should not exceed 0.4 mg per gram. However, even in many whale meats sold in the Japanese market, the content is often several times or even dozens of times higher than the normal value.
Therefore, after Nakajima and others inspected the whale meat samples delivered, their interest in this batch of goods became even stronger.
In Japan, the biggest problem with selling whales is the issue of quotas. Every year, the Japanese government announces the estimated number of whales it will hunt for "scientific research," and companies that can obtain whale sales quotas are also registered and certified.
When Huang Xuan asked Nakajima Jiro on the phone how to solve this problem, he replied: "As long as there is no problem with whale meat, the government will not check the total number again."
Since the Japanese themselves don't care about this issue, as long as Nakajima is willing to pay, it doesn't matter. Even if those Japanese businessmen buy whale meat from Santos and then replace the whale meat they originally purchased, it doesn't matter. Japan wants to buy it. When you go to a small mom-and-pop whale meat shop, it’s almost impossible to calculate the total amount.
As long as Lorraine is not exposed, that's fine.
Neither Huang Xuan nor the Watcher is interested in the final destination of whale meat. Mr. Lorraine is concerned about the stability and efficiency of energy transmission. Although Huang Xuan is more concerned, the first step is to sell the meat from Trophies from afar.
According to domestic prices in Japan, the price of better parts of whale meat is around 6,000 yen, while the price of the remaining parts ranges from 1,000 yen to 4,000 yen. Lorraine is a professional cutter. No matter which part the other party wants, he can prepare it in an instant and store it in a container. In addition, he also mixes different types of whale meat together, unless someone inspects it. Every piece of whale meat, which would otherwise be difficult to detect, is laced with species that are currently endangered, such as Arctic whales and gray whales.
In fact, given the commercial nature of Nakajima Jiro and others, although it is necessary to find professional inspections, the scope will not be too large. As long as Lorraine pays attention to tracking, it should be safe.
On average, the price of whale meat per kilogram is 500 yen, but due to the huge quantity, which may affect the consumption of the entire whale meat market, Huang Xuan's final income is only around 500 yen. Since the transaction itself was not very legal, he did not require the unification of currency units. After all, the Japanese yen is also considered a major international currency.
Nakajima happily bought 1/3 of the total amount, almost 1,000 tons of whale meat, and purchased all the whale viscera at a price of 1,000 yen per kilogram - this is the best source of fish oil health products and vitamin supplements. of the best biological components. The whale oil was sold to the Americans in the name of biolubricant, and his bid was US$7,000 per ton.
The final income was also a huge number, 4,000,000,000 yen, which sounded like a lot, but in fact it was only 100 million US dollars. Huang Xuan threw the bank card into the drawer with disdain.
At the same time, IBM staff quickly contacted Huang Xuan and said, "The Z990 you ordered is ready."
Huang Xuan was suddenly drunk and shouted before hanging up the phone: "Lorraine!! Why two?"
"During the exam, you agreed to one, and later you asked to deal with lip sync byte and other issues. Of course, you still need one."
Huang Xuan was speechless. He didn't know that Lorraine had calculated it like this. This was a million. His hand holding the phone made a creaking sound, and a Porsche just shook and floated away.
Lorraine did not forget to tell Huang Xuan, saying: "The base upgrade will be completed tomorrow. The base will be moved to Brazil in a short time, so please prepare relevant facilities. In addition, Z990 does not require training and can be idle."
After retelling the original words, Huang Xuan gritted his teeth and went back to playing on the computer. If Lorraine was in front of him, he would definitely skin him, but now..., fortunately, he had a good income, Huang Xuan could only comfort himself. (To be continued)
