Material Empire

Lingfeng Trading Company is Ling Yiping's company. The company's business direction is very complicated. In a nutshell, it does what it wants to make money, and basically focuses on buying and selling. If there is any core competence, it is that Chairman Ling Yiping can often learn some inside information that others cannot obtain, and by using this information, he can easily make a lot of money.

There are only a dozen employees in the company, and there are not many jobs on weekdays. During this period of time, because the company has spent all its funds on hoarding steel products, and has no time to take care of other businesses, the employees have become more relaxed. However, it's easy to relax, everyone still has to go to work on time, doze off in their respective seats, and wait for the call of the boss at any time.

"Excuse me, is this Lingfeng Trading Company?"

A voice with a strong southern accent rang in the ears of the reception lady. The reception lady suddenly raised her head, only to feel the golden light flashing in front of her eyes, which dazzled her eyes a little. She tried her best to gather herself, only to see two men standing in front of her. One of them was wearing a gold chain as thick as a thumb. The golden light just now came from this gold chain. from.

"Who are you looking for?" The reception lady asked angrily. What she dislikes the most is this kind of nouveau riche. In terms of money, who can be richer than Mr. Ling of their company? But Mr. Ling won't make himself adorned with jewels, which is called low-key luxury.

The man wearing the gold chain said arrogantly: "I'm looking for your boss, I have a big business to discuss with him."

"What big business?" asked the reception lady.

"Are you your boss?" The man asked back, "I'm talking about business with your boss, what are you talking about, a small front desk?"

Pooh!

The reception lady spat in her heart, but she dared not show it openly. Although she looked down on these two people in front of her, the big gold chain around their necks was indeed a symbol of strength, and no matter how rich they were, they were also rich, and this was not something she could afford to offend.

"Okay then, please ask me your names and affiliations so that I can inform our President Ling." The receptionist said in a soft tone as much as possible.

"My name is Xin Jinlong, the president of Jinlong Real Estate Company in Yunjiang Province. I came to your boss to talk about steel products." The man wearing the gold chain said.

This Xin Jinlong was the rare earth mine owner that Qin Hai had fought against when he was rectifying rare earth in the south. Because he violently resisted the law, he was detained for more than ten days. After he came out, he paid homage to Qin Hai, claiming that he was willing to serve Qin Hai tirelessly. Xin Jinlong knew that if Qin Hai really wanted to deal with him, he could be sentenced to a few years for any crime, and by the way, he could take the family business he had worked so hard to save for himself. But Qin Hai didn't do that. He was released after being punished slightly, and he was given a chance to continue investing in rare earth related industries. How could Xin Jinlong not be convinced by this.

Qin Hai integrated the scattered rare earth industry in Yunjiang Province, turning the original rare earth mine owners into investors in rare earth related industries. Due to the high technological content of the new industry and the fact that Qin Hai pushed up the price of rare earth, those The income of the mine owners who handed over the rare earth mines has actually increased by several percent compared with the past, and they have truly achieved the goal of "multi-win" promised by Qin Hai. In this way, everyone's resentment towards Qin Hai disappeared long ago, replaced by sincere gratitude.

This time, Qin Hai made a special call to Yunjiang, found Xin Jinlong, and invited him to come to the capital, saying that he had something to ask for. After receiving this call, Xin Jinlong bought a plane ticket and flew directly to the capital without saying a word. When he arrived in the capital and saw Qin Hai, Xin Jinlong knew that Qin Hai wanted to use his land property status to act in a play. Naturally, Xin Jinlong would not refuse such a request.

In this way, Xin Jinlong changed from a rare earth mine owner to the president of Jinlong Real Estate Company, and brought his close dog, Li Chuanping, to the front desk of Lingfeng Company.

"Jinlong Real Estate Company?" Ling Yiping frowned when he received a call from the front desk in his office. He couldn't think of any connection between himself and this Jinlong Real Estate Company. However, according to the lady at the front desk, The golden light was shining on his face, which perfectly met the standard of "people are stupid and have a lot of money", Ling Yiping still decided to meet the other party.

With Ling Yiping's approval, the front desk lady brought Xin Jinlong and Li Chuanping to Ling Yiping's office. As soon as she entered the door, she pointed to Ling Yiping who was sitting behind the desk and introduced to Xin Jinlong: "Mr. Xin, this is our Mr. Ling." .”

"Oh, Mr. Ling, I've admired him for a long time." Xin Jinlong walked forward with a big smile, and stretched out his hands to Ling Yiping across the executive desk, as if he wanted to shake hands with him.

Looking at the attire and dark complexion of the visitor, Ling Yiping already felt somewhat disgusted in his heart. He casually stretched out his hand, touched Xin Jinlong, and said coldly, "Mr. Xin, please sit down."

"Okay, okay." Xin Jinlong didn't care about Ling Yiping's attitude. He took a few steps back, sat down on the big sofa in the office, and shook it vigorously a few times, praising: "This sofa is really good, the springs are strong. , Leather is also good! Chuanping, look at what brand it is, and get one for my office when you go back."

"Yes, Mr. Xin." Li Chuanping agreed, and then touched and looked on the sofa here and there, as if he really planned to take off the trademark on the sofa and save it.

Seeing the other party's vulgar behavior, Ling Yiping rushed up from his dantian in one breath, almost suffocating to death. He endured it with all his strength, and then said: "Boss Xin, what do you want from me?"

"Of course there is something to do." Xin Jinlong gave up his research on the sofa, looked at Ling Yiping, and said, "I came to Mr. Ling to talk about steel."

"Steel?" Ling Yiping's heart trembled. All his thoughts are now on steel, so he is very sensitive to this topic. He pretended to be calm and asked Xin Jinlong, "What kind of steel do you want to talk to me about?"

"Wire rod!" Xin Jinlong took it for granted, "I heard that your Lingfeng company has imported 50,000 tons of wire rod. How about it? I will give you an extra 400 yuan per ton, and you will transfer all of it to me?"

"Who did you listen to?" Ling Yiping asked calmly.

"Northern Steel Factory." Xin Jinlong said, hearing Ling Yiping's disbelief, he explained again: "Northern Steel Factory is my old relationship, and I want to buy some steel when I go to Northern Steel Factory this time. They said they were out of stock. I inquired carefully and found that your company has eaten up all of their goods. How could people in the capital have a good eye? Why didn’t I see that the price of steel was going to increase, so I didn’t stock up first One batch."

"Who told you this news." Ling Yiping was a little annoyed. He had bought a batch of wire rods from the northern steel factory. This was the truth. But how could the people in the northern steel factory casually disclose this information to irrelevant people? What's more, Xin Jinlong, a local rich man who doesn't understand anything. Things like hoarding are very particular about the asymmetry of information. If your every move is widely advertised, what is the business of buying and selling?

Xin Jinlong laughed haha: "I can't tell Mr. Ling about this, I have to be worthy of my friends. Let me tell you, Mr. Ling, they actually want to keep it a secret for you, but well, I told them, They're too embarrassed to hide it from me."

"I'll go..." Ling Yiping almost wanted to scold the street, the grandchildren of the Northern Steel Factory are too worthless. If people give some benefits, they can sell themselves. The most exasperating thing was that Xin Jinlong was still showing off this incident in front of him.

"Boss Xin, what is your intention to inquire about these things?" Ling Yiping was unhappy, and his words sounded like gunpowder.

"What did President Ling say?" Xin Jinlong pretended to be eager to learn, and asked Li Chuanping, the dog's leg.

"I didn't understand it either, it seems to be some idiom." Li Chuanping said.

"Idiom, oh, no wonder I haven't heard of it, I don't read much." Xin Jinlong was not ashamed of his shallowness, he said: "Mr. Ling, I inquired about this because I wanted to do business with Mr. Ling. I am Those who engage in real estate are relatively well-known in our province, and have a little relationship with various construction companies. Now our province is very tight on steel, and many projects are about to stop, and even if you have money, you can’t buy wire rods. I would like to ask Boss Ling transfers the wire rod in your hand to me, and I will give you 400 yuan per ton, and 20 million yuan for 50,000 tons, what do you think?"

"Add 400 yuan per ton? Which price is 400 yuan added to?" Ling Yiping asked.

"Your purchase price." Xin Jinlong said, "I've inquired about it. You bought the goods at 2,500 a ton. I'll give you 2,900. You can earn 20 million by changing hands. What a deal."

"Boss Xin, you didn't drink too much, did you?" Ling Yiping scolded, "Go out and find out what price the wire rods on the market are selling for now, 2900 a ton, you can figure it out, now it's 3500 a ton you It’s all about being able to buy it.”

"Really?" Xin Jinlong blinked, trying to put on a cute look. It's a pity that he was born with a fleshy face, and he couldn't pretend to be innocent, "Is the wire rod really so expensive now? Or, as Mr. Yi Ling said, 3,500 a ton is fine, I want it all. "

"..."

Hearing that Xin Jinlong changed his words so quickly, Ling Yiping didn't even have the strength to get angry. If Xin Jinlong didn't know the steel market before, Ling Yiping knew it was impossible to think on his heels. This guy obviously found out that the purchase price of his steel was low, and he wanted to fool himself into selling the steel to him at a price far below the market price, and then he sold it out to profit from it. Now that Ling Yiping quoted the price, he immediately raised the price from 2900 to 3500. You should stumble in the middle and pretend to be a little hesitant, okay?

"Mr. Xin, don't bother. What I'm saying is that the 3500 tons of goods on the market don't exist at all. Don't take me for a fool." Ling Yiping said.

"Then, what price does Boss Ling think we can sell? We can discuss everything." Xin Jinlong was exposed, but he was not at all embarrassed, and still asked the price brazenly.
