Ye Qing was very careful, after a round of inspection, he found that all the steel was of good quality, products from a large steel factory.
"It's not enough!" Ye Qing frowned.
"What's not enough?" Li Suohua didn't react, or rather, he didn't even dare to think about it.
"These steel, there's only 10,000 tons, it's too little."
Li Suohua almost fell to the ground in shock, his eyes wide open as he stuttered: "You … you want all of it?"
"Yes, pay 50% first, help me transport these steel to the factory, then pay the remaining 50%.
I want all of it, and pay 50% first, the rest will be paid after the goods are delivered.
Right now because of the steel industry's overproduction problem, all the major steel factories and distributors are having a hard time.
But this little brother in front of him, not only did he clear out his entire stock, he also very straightforwardly paid the full amount in a short period of time.
Predicament, is a problem that every man has to face. For those men who are already married, over 50 years old, sometimes a big predicament can make half of their life's hard work go back to square one. And they no longer have the courage and opportunity of their youth, to brave the world and pick themselves up again.
If it wasn't for Ye Qing, Li Suohua would have been the one who was beaten back to square one, unable to climb back up again.
"I … I …" Suddenly Li Suohua's eyes were filled with tears of excitement, an indescribable joy choked his throat, making him unable to say anything.
He and Ye Jiangning were just ordinary friends who met by chance, but he didn't think that such an ordinary friend would be able to introduce him to a super big client when he fell into the abyss and everyone else avoided him like the plague, pulling him up to the heavenly garden of happiness.
"I … I have other friends who have steel in stock, the price will be guaranteed to be the lowest, the quality will definitely be the same as this." Li Suohua wiped his tears, a bit funny that he actually cried out of excitement.
"Ok, you can help me ask, as long as the quality is guaranteed." Ye Qing nodded, strictly speaking, these stockpiled steel, in some aspects, are much better than the new ones.
The most important of which is the problem of the metal's stress, if the metal is naturally placed for a long period of time, the stress on the metal will gradually disappear, the more precise the processing industry, the more the stress of the metal will affect the precision.
Half an hour later, Li Suohua and Ye Qing arrived at a much smaller steel warehouse.
There were only slightly more than two thousand tons in stock here, and the quality was also very good. Ye Qing didn't say anything and swept them all away.
His father had given him three addresses, along with the four that Li Suohua had introduced. After checking the goods, Ye Qing swept them all clean.
It's just that the total amount is only 25,000 tons, which is far from Ye Qing's requirements.
He called his father and asked him to ask again. A friend of a friend was fine too. Of course, the quality of the steel had to be up to standard.
After the call, Ye Qing opened WeChat again.
Ye Qing majored in mechanical engineering. Among his classmates, there were a few who owned factories. After graduation, many of his classmates went to work in factories.
As soon as he opened WeChat, Ye Qing saw that there was a friend request in his contact list. He clicked on it and saw that it was a friend request from a user named Doudou.
Ye Qing clicked "Agree" and sent a smiley face. Then, he clicked into the classmate group and sent a message, "Which family or friend is in the steel business? Contact me if you have a stockpile."
The group was like a pool of stagnant water.
There was no other way. Ye Qing sent a red packet of 200 yuan and set the number of people to 40.
Xu Le received your red packet.
Zhang Ying received your red packet.
Xu Le Le received your red packet.
… …..
In less than 30 seconds, more than 20 red packets were received. Then, they thanked the boss and Chairman Ye in an overwhelming manner.
However, none of these classmates were in the steel business. Some of them had relatives in the steel business, but they were all small businesses and their business was okay.
At this time, Doudou sent a message: "Sorry, Big Brother Ye. Just now at the TV station, the program director was showing me around to familiarize me with the work environment and explaining some things to do during the broadcast."
"It's okay. I'm busy too. Oh right, do you have relatives in the steel business?"
"No!"
Ye Qing pretended a little: "Recently, the factory has been undergoing construction. After sweeping a few steel factories, we've only swept 20 thousand tons of stock. We're still short of a few thousand tons."
"Ah!" Doudou was shocked and sent a surprised radish head emoji.
Although she didn't understand the industry, she knew mathematics. Even if one ton of steel was worth 1000 yuan, 20 thousand tons would cost 20 million.
Of course, what she didn't know was that there was a lot of stock in the steel market. If you had the money, you could get a million tons. Ye Qing just wanted to earn a favor for his friend.
"I have relatives here. Only my cousin's family has a construction company, but it's very small."
"Big Brother Ye, do you want me to help you ask? My dad works at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Heping Road branch. He's the financial manager and knows a lot of people. "
"Okay."
Ye Qing said okay, but he didn't take it to heart. Zhongyun City Industrial and Commercial Bank of Heping had more than 100 branches. Some of the smaller branches only had a dozen people. Although the financial manager's name had the word "manager", he wasn't much better than the lobby manager. He moved to wherever the customer needed him.
The bank's performance evaluation and promotion were often linked to the person's ability. If you know a big customer and get a big deposit, your position will naturally rise. If you don't have the ability, you can only go to the branches and wait for experience.
After chatting for a while, his father called and said that he asked two more friends who were in the steel business. It's just that the scale wasn't big, adding up to only a thousand tons of stock.
Ye Qing first said goodbye to Doudou and drove to those two stores to sweep up the goods.
When he returned to Dragon Creek Beach in the evening, Li Suohua was already waiting for him at the factory entrance. Behind his motorcade was a similarly endless procession of semi-trailers. They were almost lined up on Huanhai Avenue.
This was simply too spectacular. Close to 200 heavy trucks lined up in a long line for several miles. Behind the trucks were dozens of forklifts.
And this was only half of the stock. After unloading this batch, they still had to make another trip.
At the entrance of the Dragon Creek Beach factory, there were 7-8 steel suppliers gathered. Normally they would see each other as enemies, but now they were gathered together to share their gratitude and joy.
From beginning to end, their topic never left Ye Qing and Ye Jiangning. These two were their saviors.
After Ye Qing arrived, he told them to directly unload the steel in the corner of the factory. After the next trip, they could transfer the money.
The dealers quickly went to direct the forklifts to unload the goods. Ye Qing had a master artisan direct them to neatly stack the goods according to the type of steel.
Ye Qing went into his office and continued to search the internet to see if there were any 10,000-ton presses and 50-ton electric furnaces for sale.
These two large processing tools were the core components of the metal smelting center. The 10,000-ton presses were fine, but for the 50-ton electric furnace, if there wasn't a finished product, it would take months to find a factory to make one, and it would also cost a lot of money to ship it over.
The electric furnace was a common furnace used to make alloy steel. On the market, it was usually 5 tons, 10 tons, 25 tons. The 50-ton furnace that Ye Qing needed was simply too rare.
If he bought it from outside, he would have to ship it over from a coastal city. Otherwise, if he were to ship it over land, he would have to hire a professional logistics company, and the shipping cost would be too high.
After searching the internet for half a day, the 10,000-ton presses weren't available locally, but they were sold in coastal cities not far from Zhongyun. If he paid a deposit, it would be delivered to his doorstep in three to five days.
Electric furnaces were only sold in coastal cities, while the 50-ton ones were sold in inland cities. The nearest available 50-ton ones were in Insignia Province, more than 700 kilometers away from Zhongyun.
