Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

"We are not a one-time deal. I want to cooperate with you for a long time. The first batch of goods will be 2 tons. For the rest, you add up your production. We will set a number and wait until I have paid 7%. When the time comes, you have to deliver the next shipment.”

"This... no problem, no problem. We'll do whatever you say, Brother Zhang." Zhao Jinpeng heard this condition, and he readily agreed after only a slight hesitation.

Coal mines are basically all cash transactions, especially small coal mines like theirs, which prefer cash transactions of handing over the money and delivering the goods. Except for people they know very well, there is almost no credit.

But Zhang Li was different. His investment in the county quickly caused a sensation. All parties tried their best to contact him and tried every means to find opportunities to cooperate with him.

This time Zhang Li took the initiative to seek cooperation with him because the two had a relationship before. Zhao Jinpeng felt grateful to Zhang Li beyond words.

This business not only helped him solve the difficulties at hand, but also allowed him to see greater possibilities in operating a coal mine. For a small coal mine owner, this is simply a huge opportunity.

Even if Zhao Jinpeng still had a trace of doubt in his heart, when he thought of Zhang Li's recent actions, the last trace of doubt disappeared.

Even if the worst happens and Zhang Li fails to pay the money on time in the end, he still has a way. Anyway, several factories he invested in are in the county. If he can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. At most, he will have to spend some effort to get it slowly. chant.

It's not like he has never encountered this kind of thing before. With his father-in-law's family's connections in the county, he will have plenty of solutions when the time comes.

Seeing that Zhao Jinpeng agreed, Zhang Li also smiled: "Haha, brother, since we are doing business, how can we do it in a formal way? You must sign the contract that should be signed. If I don't pay on time, I still have to pay the liquidated damages. have."

After Zhao Jinpeng heard Zhang Li's words, his recognition of him deepened in his heart. He was worthy of being a person who had been around in Hong Kong Island. He did things in a regular manner.

"Brother Zhang, what kind of contract should we sign in this relationship?"

"Brothers still have to settle accounts openly. Let's sign a contract so that both parties have peace of mind."

Seeing Zhang Li's insistence, Zhao Jinpeng couldn't object, so he said: "Okay, Brother Zhang, we can sign the contract and there is no need for liquidated damages. How can I not trust you?"

"You still have to have what you should have. If I don't pay you on time, you still have to pay the liquidated damages. Of course, when it's time to deliver the goods, if you can't deliver the goods..." Zhang Li said casually, and also He flicked a few flakes of dandruff on his elastic sleeves with his fingers.

Zhao Jinpeng smiled hurriedly and said: "It depends on what you said, Brother Zhang, don't you worry about my brother's work? If I can't deliver the goods, how about I also pay liquidated damages? We can also write this into the contract."

Seeing that Zhao Jinpeng fell into the trap so easily, Zhang Li smiled: "Okay."

As the deal was finalized, Zhao Jinpeng couldn't wait to notify the miners in the coal mine, asking them to work overtime and dig quickly. He also specifically told them not to move the clean coal and was ready to deliver the pile of coal to Zhang Li.

In the evening, Zhang Li and Zhao Jinpeng had a sumptuous dinner and drank a lot of wine in a restaurant in the county town.

Zhao Jinpeng kept toasting and was full of gratitude to Zhang Li.

"Brother Zhang, I really didn't expect that we would have such a good opportunity to cooperate. You helped me a lot this time!" Zhao Jinpeng was drinking with a smile on his face.

Zhang Li smiled and patted Zhao Jinpeng on the shoulder: "Brother, we are destined for each other, and there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future. This is just the beginning, and there will be bigger business waiting for us in the future."

Zhao Jinpeng felt warm after hearing this. With this business and Zhang Li's support, it was enough for him to feel proud in his father-in-law's home.

After the meal, the two of them parted with a smile.

As time went on, while Zhao Jinpeng was grateful to Zhang Zhang, he really felt like his head was filled with water.

He actually followed the contract and paid him the agreed payment on time every month.

When 2% of the payment for the first batch of 7 tons of clean coal was paid, Zhao Jinpeng hurriedly issued the second batch of coal to Zhang Li as agreed.

Facing such a good customer, Zhao Jinpeng really wanted to lower the price for him, but Zhang Li didn't mention the price at all.

Zhao Jinpeng also restrained himself from opening his mouth. When meeting such a generous and unusual customer as Zhang Li, he must be happy.

Even though he was happy, he was also a little worried that such a good customer should not be taken away by others, so Zhao Jinpeng never mentioned any tense news to others.

Of course, he only found out later that other people had the same idea as him...

Not long after Zhao Jinpeng's good days, he suddenly discovered that the coal price on the market began to collapse, and some of his old customers were lost.

When he inquired about it, he found out that someone had broken the rules and sold the coal at a price that was far lower than the market price.

Who, who is so cruel? Isn't this just seeking death for oneself and not leaving a way for others to survive?

If coal prices continue to fall like this, we will still lose money on the coal we dig.

Zhao Jinpeng began to panic. In addition to the big client of Stable Tension, he was also asking around to find out who was so ignorant of the rules that he dared to blatantly disrupt the market.

The county is so big, so it's easy to find out what's going on. Zhao Jinpeng quickly found out. It turned out that everything behind this was caused by tension.

What does he want to do?

Zhao Jinpeng was puzzled

It turns out that since Zhang Li negotiated the contract with Zhao Jinpeng, he followed the same pattern and negotiated cooperation with large and small coal mines and other ores in the county.

Zhang Li did not take the usual path when buying coal, buying high and selling low. The price for purchasing clean coal is 10% higher than the market price, but he will not pay the full price. He will first pay 30% to take the coal away, and the remaining coal payment will be mortgaged monthly. When 70% is paid, the coal mine must provide him with the next batch of coal. , otherwise it is considered a breach of contract.

After he had a sufficient amount of resources in his hands, Zhang Li began to dump them on the market at low prices. In a short period of time, he disrupted the market and brought down the price of coal in the county.

While Zhao Jinpeng and others were scratching their heads anxiously, Zhang Li was on the phone with Chu Jianghe in the capital. He briefly told Chu Jianghe the situation in the county.

"Jiang He, things are going smoothly now. Everything is going according to plan. They are all panicking now. They can't figure out our gameplay. It's their first time to buy high and sell low. But I'm afraid that someone will bring coal from other places. Sell ​​it to us secretly at a high price."

Now, if you talk to the local bosses in the county about terms like finance and capital, the topic is too high-end and they probably won’t understand.

Chu Jianghe listened quietly to Zhang Li's report on the situation on the other end of the phone. After Zhang Li expressed his worries, he said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. If the amount is small, you can eat it. If the amount is large, I don't think most people can eat it." , not afraid.”

The county's plate is only so big, and with his current strength, he can definitely play it.
