After Wan Feng returned to Heihe, he made an unexpected decision. He reduced the daily trading volume of steel coming from Gongqingcheng by 200 tons.
Shaminov believed Wan Feng's words that the port would be closed at the end of this year or early next year. In order to make the last bit of capital before the deadline, he began to frantically ship steel to China.
Every day, two ships of steel dock at Heihe to unload, and the daily trading volume is over a thousand tons.
As soon as these steels arrived at the port, they were divided up by factories and enterprises of all sizes in northern China that needed steel.
Since last summer, Wanfeng has set aside dozens of tons of steel for its own use every day, but now Wanfeng has increased this amount to 200 tons.
The inflation caused by soaring prices has led to a shortage of means of production, and the prices are also ridiculously high.
The price of steel has increased by about 30% from the original level, and there is a shortage of steel everywhere.
Wan Feng couldn't help but think about himself. He exchanged the steel he had traded for money and then used the money to buy it back at a high price. What was his goal?
Although it takes a lot of effort to get the steel from Heihe to Jiangwei Village, the transaction costs here are extremely low, so even if you take the trouble to get it back to Jiangwei, you can still save a lot of money.
So he added another 200 tons to the dozens of tons he had originally retained.
It would be a joke if you spent all your time processing steel and then ended up not having any use for it.
These steel materials for self-use naturally have to be transported away, which is also a headache for Wan Feng.
The good news is that the Heihe local railway has now been built to Wuxian and cargo transportation has begun.
The Beihei Railway starts from Beian City in the south and ends at Heihe in the north, with a total length of 305 kilometers.
This railway line was originally planned by the Japanese, and construction began in 1933 and opened to traffic at the end of 1935.
In 1945, the Soviet Red Army took over the railway. When the Russians retreated in 1946, they dismantled the entire railway and transported it to the Soviet Union.
When it was rebuilt in the 1960s, the railway extended from Beian to Longzhen. It was originally planned to be rebuilt all the way north, but due to the deterioration of relations with the Soviet Union, the railway was forced to be shelved.
This suspension lasted for more than 20 years.
It can be said that the rise and fall of this railway has a huge relationship with the Russians.
In July 1986, the Heihe Prefectural Committee began to build this railway in accordance with the principle of local construction of local railways. After the joint efforts of cadres and the masses in the Heihe area of Longjiang Province, the entire line was connected on September 19, 1989, and temporary operation began in December of the same year.
Now the railway has been built to Wuxian, and two-thirds of the total length of the line has been completed, with only the 100-kilometer distance from Wuxian to Heihe remaining.
Although no passenger transport is being carried out, freight transport has already started trial operation.
After all, the railway built by local governments with their own funds will make money the sooner it is operational.
The main cargo carried out by this railway now is timber and coal, followed by steel traded from the Soviet Union, with steel accounting for a considerable proportion.
More than 1,500 tons of steel are transported across the river from Heihe and Sijitun every day, enough to load 25 railway carriages.
With the train transportation, the problem of transporting Wanfeng’s own steel has been solved.
The steel in these carriages will be transported directly along the railway to Hongya Railway Station and then transferred to Jiangwei.
It is thirty miles from Hongya Railway Station to Jiangwei.
Wan Feng suddenly had a crazy idea that he should drive the train to Jiangwei Village. Jiangwei will be a heavy industrial base in the future, and there will be a lot of goods coming in, so it really needs a dedicated line.
If the distance of thirty miles is really not feasible, he can fund and entrust Hongya County to build it, which can be completed in a few months.
With this dedicated line, Jiangwei's development will be taken to a higher level.
While Wan Feng was thinking about these questions, he was pretending to fish by the river.
The fish bucket beside him still contained two or three big and small fish, while Han Guangjia had already caught half a bucket of fish.
People with wood attributes like Han Guangjia are very suitable for fishing, but people with monkey butts like Wan Feng are not good at fishing.
Although there were no big fish, the crackling sounds in other people's buckets showed a good harvest, while his bucket was full of desolation.
This is not a problem. Just switch the positions of his and Han Guang’s fish buckets.
"Your bucket is almost full. I'll keep it for you. If you fill my bucket again, we can stew fish tonight."
Looking at Wan Feng doing shameless things with a smile, Han Guangjia sighed: What kind of person is this?
“Brother-in-law!”
Someone in the distance called out "Brother-in-law", and Wan Feng couldn't help but answer.
Han Guangjia was so depressed. You took advantage of this? Can you still have some shame?
Wan Feng smiled like a fox, as if he had really become someone's brother-in-law.
That's not right! How did my brother-in-law's voice come all the way here? And it's getting closer and closer.
Wan Feng turned his head and saw a beautiful woman running towards him.
Oh my god, it really is his sister-in-law, Zhang Juan!
"Zhang Juan! Why are you here?"
Zhang Juan ran over and saw a fish bucket full of lively fish next to Wan Feng. She braked suddenly and squatted beside the fish bucket.
"Brother-in-law! Did you catch all this?"
"Of course, my brother-in-law is also an expert at fishing. Did you see that piece of wood? He only caught four or five fish." Wan Feng boasted without blushing at all.
"Brother-in-law! You are so awesome." Zhang Juan praised sincerely.
"That's right! Don't you see who I am, your brother-in-law? Hey! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be graduating this year?"
"Yeah! Graduation is in two months, so I came to see my dad."
"Are you here alone?"
"There are two more sisters, they are at the base and didn't come over."
This chick Zhang Juan is becoming more and more beautiful. Damn, she seems to be prettier than her sister. I wonder which bastard will marry her.
Oh, right, it seemed someone had told him about the Chaoshui gang of bastards harassing her. I think I went to Sijitun at that time and thought I would visit Xiao Wu's house on my way back, but then I got busy and forgot.
"By the way, Juan'er! Is anyone bothering you? If anyone wants to do something bad to you, tell your brother-in-law, and I'll punish him. How dare he set his sights on my sister-in-law?"
"Yes! This is why I came here. There are a few bastards from Chaoshui who have been causing trouble in my factory every day lately."
At Xiao Wu's house, the locals all knew the relationship between Zhang Juan and Wan Feng, and naturally knew the relationship between Wan Feng and Li You, so no one really went to Zhang Juan's small factory to cause trouble.
Of course, this does not apply to those who really want to find a partner.
But these bastards like Chao Shui are nothing.
Let Li Mingdou go back and warn those guys?
Oh no, Li Mingdou is a local. If he offends those people from Chao Shui, he might get into unnecessary trouble in the future.
It would be better to let Han Meng and Zhao Gang come forward.
"Since you're here, just hang out for a few more days. I'll send two people to deal with it when we get back."
“Thank you, brother-in-law!”
Han Guangjia, who was fishing on the side, felt contemptuous: Is this guy going to target my sister-in-law again?
Aren’t my sister-in-law and brother-in-law confused?
