Chapter 94
Jiang Meishu was stunned when she heard this. She hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head. "Don't mention it. It's just fifteen yuan a ton."
Coal is a necessity for people's livelihood. If it becomes too expensive, life will be very difficult for ordinary people.
Their family is one of them.
If her mother had to spend more money to buy coal, she would still buy it, but she would feel heartbroken for a long time.
After all, most of the people who come to the department store to buy coal are ordinary families.
When Shen Mingying heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She raised her hand and ruffled Jiang Meishu's hair. "Xiao Jiang, thank you on behalf of everyone."
She is an officer in the purchasing department of a department store and has worked in this position for more than ten years. She has seen too many companies suddenly raise prices due to natural disasters or man-made calamities.
Yes, it’s the unit.
People like Jiang Meishu, who knew that she was the only supplier but was unwilling to raise prices, were really rare.
She is really nice.
Shen Mingying sighed silently.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly, "It's enough to make some money, but not too much."
She could make 80 cents per ton, which she felt was already considered a profiteer.
She was really embarrassed to bring it up further.
But these eighty cents were all the hard-earned money squeezed out of He Qiusheng and his team at the Black Mountain Coal Yard. After all, He Qiusheng paid Liang Qiurun fifteen yuan per ton.
When Shen Mingying heard this, he glanced at Jiang Meishu and said, "You are too soft-hearted to be a businessman."
A businessman needs to be ruthless and steady.
Jiang Meishu has neither of these two qualities.
She smiled and said, "So I didn't become a businessman. I just did some part-time jobs occasionally to make some extra money."
As he spoke, he went to the Finance Department on the fourth floor.
This is true silence.
Shen Mingying led the way and took her directly to Section Chief Li of the Finance Department. "Section Chief Li, I'll settle the bill."
"Twenty thousand tons of coal, purchase price fifteen yuan a ton."
When Section Chief Li learned that Shen Mingying had obtained coal for the department store, he was a little surprised. Where did Shen Mingying get the resources at this point?
When Section Chief Li saw the red official seal on the Heishan Coal Yard, he was stunned. "A small coal yard in Shaanxi Province?"
Shen Mingying asked, "Section Chief Li, do you think the large coal yard will do business with us at this time?"
In winter, the real big coal yards always have a condescending attitude.
Section Chief Li thought about it and said, "That's right."
“Is the Black Mountain Coal Yard a legitimate coal yard?”
Without waiting for Jiang Meishu to answer, Shen Mingying hummed, "If it weren't for a formal coal yard, this coal wouldn't have been able to travel thousands of miles from Shaanxi Province to the capital."
"Too."
Section Chief Li glanced at Jiang Meishu, who understood immediately and went out immediately.
Only Section Chief Li and Shen Mingying were left. "The purchase price of this coal is obviously lower than usual. What is the quality of the coal?"
"I just checked the coal and it's considered to be of medium to high quality. It's almost smokeless, which is very good."
Section Chief Li thought for a moment, "Have you decided on the selling price?"
"This selling price is not under the control of our purchasing department. The purchase cost is fifteen yuan per ton. I have already told you."
"Also, the property downstairs has started selling. However, it seems like they haven't given any offers yet. They're just asking everyone to sign up for a list first."
this--
Section Chief Li, "Go call the general manager and Section Chief Luo from the sales department over here."
"Let's negotiate a price."
It only takes a moment.
The senior leader came down immediately, and Jiang Meishu, an outsider, stood out at the door.
General Manager Zhao, "I heard from Secretary Xu that the problem is with external pricing, right?"
Shen Mingying nodded.
"What's the purchase price?"
"Fifteen dollars a ton."
General Manager Zhao, "This seems to be much cheaper than the actual purchase price?"
Shen Mingying said, "Yes, I asked around at the coal station. Their purchase price is around 16.5 yuan, and they sell it to takeout for 18 or 20 yuan."
"In extreme weather like this, it can be sold for 22 yuan."
This number sounds like a lot, but don't forget, it's one ton of coal.
Generally speaking, for a family, buying a ton of coal can last for almost half a year. If they are frugal, it can last for a year.
The cost spread out like this might be only about 1.5 cents a day.
Or even less.
After hearing this, General Manager Zhao understood. "Who is that person standing outside?"
"And a young man dressed in rags?"
Shen Mingying didn't hide it. "My fourth brother's wife and her stepson were able to get the coal back this time because of the connections they made for me. One risked their lives to go to Shaanxi Province in heavy snow to escort the coal to Beijing, and the other helped me find connections and rope in people, and finally we contacted the Heishan Coal Yard."
General Manager Zhao's eyes flashed, "They really have worked hard."
"They still offer such a low purchase price."
Shen Mingying smiled bitterly, "When I first brought her up here, I asked her to raise the price a bit, so she could make some money."
"But she said that coal is a livelihood issue, and her family is just an ordinary, poor family. If the price is raised, the people below can still buy it with gritted teeth, but life will be more difficult."
Hear this.
General Manager Zhao was also surprised, "I understand."
"I didn't expect that female comrade to have such a high level of ideological awareness."
Shen Mingying was proud of it. "She is very good."
General Manager Zhao hummed and stood up temporarily. "Since that young comrade has realized this, when the sales department sets the price, don't exceed 16.5 yuan."
"So that the common people below can't afford it."
But if we sell it at cost price, that is also impossible.
The entire department store still needs to operate and they still need to be paid.
The department store is not open for charity. After all, General Manager Zhao is the real businessman.
He left this sentence and left.
Luo, the head of the sales department, was a little embarrassed. "No more than 16.5 yuan, so 16 yuan per ton?"
"We earn one dollar per ton. Is that profitable?"
Section Chief Li, who was standing nearby, immediately came out with an abacus and started clacking away. "If we make one dollar per ton, and this time we're shipping 20,000 tons, that means a profit of 20,000 yuan."
“Very good.”
Their department store also made money from other products, but not as much as coal. After all, coal was a necessity, and he was confident that the 20,000 tons of coal would be sold out within two days.
These profits are really not low.
"Then the price will be sixteen dollars."
Section Chief Luo from the Sales Department arranged the board. "I'll go down and let them know. I'll leave it to Section Chiefs Li and Shen to take care of this."
Shen Mingying waved her hand nonchalantly, "Section Chief Li, let's settle the bill first. People have come here through the open air and must be numb from the cold. It would be better to settle the bill early so that they can go back."
Section Chief Li nodded, "I'll have someone go down and check the goods. If everything is OK, we'll settle the bill now."
"It's just that the amount of money being transferred is quite large, and we need the approval of the general manager before we can go to the bank to withdraw the money."
Shen Mingying nodded.
A small clerk from the Finance Department went to the warehouse on the first floor to check the goods. After confirming the quantity, he went upstairs to report to Section Chief Li, "Twenty thousand tons of coal have arrived."
Section Chief Li nodded, wrote a payment slip, signed and stamped it, and said to Shen Mingying, "I'll go with you to see the general manager."
"This payment order is for three hundred thousand."
“It’s an extremely large expenditure.”
Even he, the head of the Finance Department, does not have the authority to approve it.
Shen Mingying nodded and followed Section Chief Li upstairs. When they came out, Jiang Meishu and Liang Rui were waiting outside.
He Qiu Sheng and Jiang Meilan were downstairs.
Seeing Shen Mingying come out, Liang Rui's eyes lit up, "Are you done?"
He is tired and sleepy now, so he wants to go home and rest.
Shen Mingying, "Wait a minute, let's go find the general manager to sign the payment order."
"I'll be back soon."
Liang Rui was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything. As a financial person, Jiang Meishu would understand, as she had already done the math.
Coal costs fifteen yuan a ton, so twenty thousand tons is three hundred thousand yuan.
This amount is a huge expense even for a department store, so it seems normal to ask the general manager to sign the order.
She even comforted Liang Rui, "We'll wait a moment, it will be fine soon."
That's indeed the case.
In just five minutes, Shen Mingying and Section Chief Li came down. Section Chief Li held a payment slip and asked Jiang Meishu, "The amount is quite large. How about writing you a check?"
If this were converted into money, it would probably fill half a truck.
Jiang Meishu nodded, "Then pay the check."
"But I don't want a 300,000 yuan note. Even if I take it to Shaanxi Province, it's hard to exchange it for one."
“Banks in smaller places simply can’t muster enough.”
"Is that possible?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Let me write a small check so that it will be convenient for me to withdraw it when I get home."
this--
It’s a bit difficult, but it’s not impossible.
"What denomination do you want?"
Jiang Meishu, "Ten thousand."
Section Chief Li frowned, "This is too small. If we want to open it for 10,000, we need to open 30 tickets."
"If this is not possible, then the only option is to withdraw the money, and both parties will pay it face to face."
That's more troublesome than writing a check.
Section Chief Li hesitated for a moment, "How about a check for 50,000 yuan?"
Jiang Meishu shook her head. "Section Chief Li, you're from a bank in the capital. It's very easy to withdraw 50,000 yuan from any bank."
"But the Heishan Coal Yard is located in the most remote part of Shaanxi Province. To be honest, I'm worried about whether the bank there can withdraw a check worth 10,000 yuan."
"If it weren't for saving you the trouble, I might have asked you to write a check for five thousand."
For He Qiusheng, the smaller the denomination of the check, the more suitable it is for him to withdraw money from the local cooperative.
Neither side would give in.
In the end, it was Shen Mingying who came out to smooth things over.
"Then let's make a compromise. 200,000 yuan in checks, write checks for 10,000 yuan each, and the other 100,000 yuan in cash. What do you think?"
This time, Jiang Meishu no longer objected.
After all, she wanted a small-denomination check not only for He Qiusheng, but also for herself.
This transaction was facilitated by her. She made a profit from the price difference of 80 cents per ton, and a total of 16,000 yuan for 20,000 tons.
To be honest.
This was really beyond Jiang Meishu's imagination.
She never dared to imagine that she could make so much money in her life.
Since she had the cash, it would be easy to withdraw money in advance, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Section Chief Li also felt that writing twenty small-denomination checks was not that difficult.
He nodded as well, "That's it."
After both parties reached an agreement.
Section Chief Li wrote twenty checks for ten thousand dollars each, the kind that can be withdrawn at the bank.
The other 100,000 yuan was withdrawn from the bank. This was a large withdrawal, and luckily the department store had its own access, otherwise the 100,000 yuan might not have been withdrawn today.
After Jiang Meishu received the check and payment, she hesitated and signed her name on it.
She knows.
Once she signs her name, she will bear all the responsibilities.
When she hesitated.
Liang Rui had already taken the pen and written his name. "What are you afraid of? It's all written in black and white, and the goods have been delivered."
This man is extremely bold.
Wait until you get out.
Jiang Meishu's expression was still a little complicated, "Why did you sign it?"
This is something to be responsible for.
Moreover, the amount involved was suspected to be quite large, and she was actually quite scared. She didn't know if she would be arrested once the truth was revealed.
Liang Rui chuckled after hearing this and said, "Jiang Meilan, you are too timid."
He glanced around and saw no one around. He lowered his voice and said to Jiang Meishu, "Do you think any of the major factories in the capital doesn't take kickbacks when purchasing goods?"
The Purchasing Department is known as the most lucrative department, no doubt about it.
"How much money do you have? Are you already worried?"
He knew Jiang Meishu's background.
Jiang Meishu bit her lip, "Is this not enough?"
Sixteen thousand.
Before doing this business, she never thought she could make so much. She initially thought it would be good to have a few thousand yuan.
Then it was divided among several people, and she got 1,000 yuan.
As a result, her profit suddenly reached 16,000.
If these people divide it, they will get several thousand yuan.
Liang Rui snorted, "You're ignorant."
"Don't you know how much money the former director of the factory my dad took over embezzled?"
Jiang Meishu really didn't know this.
She shook her head.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand."
Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, "How much?"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand."
Liang Rui repeated.
This is a number that Jiang Meishu could never have imagined.
“So, is this considered corruption?”
She asked a little nervously.
Liang Rui shook his head and held out his carrot-red and swollen hand, "Not really."
"This is hard work and hard work money."
It was really a life-threatening job. When the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, He Qiu Sheng wanted to give up several times, but he was the one who drove.
We drove out from the snow-covered mountains.
It cost my life to open it.
If you are not careful, you may fall off the cliff or lose the goods.
Seeing that Jiang Meishu was still nervous, Liang Rui repeated, "This is what I paid for with my life."
"Even if they investigate, the most they can accuse me of speculation and profiteering."
"But they won't."
Liang Rui was certain, "The people need coal, department stores need coal, and leaders need coal."
"This is a great time to fish in troubled waters. The bigwigs up there only look at the results, not the process."
When he said this, he was so calm that he didn't seem like a 15 or 16-year-old boy, but rather like an old fox who had been in the business world for a long time.
This really surprised Jiang Meishu.
She murmured, "I hope so."
She is used to following the rules.
It was her first time handling such a large-denomination business, and she was really a little scared.
Section Chief Li was very quick and quickly handed the check for 200,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan in cash to Jiang Meishu.
After Jiang Meishu's inspection, the transaction was considered completely completed.
"Do you need a blank payment slip?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Meishu was startled and she subconsciously looked at Section Chief Li.
Section Chief Li, "I have it here."
"but--"
Shen Mingying asked for her, "How much is it?"
"One hundred yuan a piece, fill it out yourself."
The Finance Department has plenty of payment slips, but not every payment slip can be sold at a price.
Jiang Meishu thought about it and realized that she really needed this kind of payment slip.
"I want one."
"Do you want to stamp it with the official seal?"
Section Chief Li glanced at her meaningfully, "If you want to stamp it with the official seal, the price will be different."
"One hundred yuan for an official seal."
Jiang Meishu almost said, why don’t you go and rob it?
But Liang Rui pushed him down. His tone was very calm, not like a 15 or 16-year-old boy. "We want it. Please, Chief Li, help us stamp a blank payment slip."
"If we get something good someday, we will definitely come to honor you."
This was said modestly and tactfully.
Even when he said this in front of Shen Mingying and Jiang Meishu, they both looked at Liang Rui in surprise.
Obviously, they had never expected that the rebellious boy had such a smooth and sophisticated side.
Section Chief Li was indeed very happy to hear this. He smiled, took out a blank red payment slip from the drawer, stamped the official seal on it, and handed it to Liang Rui.
Obviously, he could see that in this transaction, the young man was more experienced and more familiar with the secular rules.
Liang Rui glanced at T, thanked him and took it.
"Next time there's something good like this, I'll come to you again."
Thirty big unity notes were drawn out from the previous payment for goods.
It’s thirty pieces, which is three hundred yuan.
This is one hundred yuan more than what Section Chief Li asked for.
Section Chief Li knew what was going on. After taking it, he smiled and sent them out.
This is the God of Wealth.
He also hoped that the other party would come to him again if such a good thing happened next time.
Out of the Finance Department.
Jiang Meishu's expression was a little complicated, "How do you know all this?"
She was asking about Liang Rui.
Liang Rui touched his nose and said, "I grew up next to my father. When he was the factory director, I slept on his back."
These things happen too often.
You will naturally learn some things through observation and exposure.
When Jiang Meishu heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She suddenly realized that children from well-off families would easily become familiar with how to treat people and worldly rules during their growth.
But for children from ordinary families, they need to grow up and get hurt before they can slowly understand these rules.
That's the difference.
"Liang Rui, I find you are quite amazing."
When Liang Rui heard this, he immediately became proud and said, "I think I'm pretty good too."
He glanced at He Qiusheng downstairs and said to Jiang Meishu, "Let's invite him to live with us."
"It's good to divide the money!"
*
Liang family.
Liang Rui's homeroom teacher came to the door and asked, "Excuse me, is this where Liang Rui's home is?"
Comrade Wang is the only one at home.
She nodded, "You are?"
"I'm Liang Rui's homeroom teacher." Teacher Lin said with a serious expression, "Liang Rui hasn't been to school for half a month. I came to ask him if he can still attend this semester."
Comrade Wang was stunned for a moment. "This." She rubbed her hands. "Teacher, I'm not Liang Rui's parent. I'm just the one who's in charge of cooking."
"If he has any questions, please come back another day. Liang Rui's father and mother will be home then."
this--
Teacher Lin was a little surprised. "Then please convey a message for me."
"Ask Liang Rui's parents to come to the school for a parent-teacher conference."
