Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past three days, the rush to buy hard maple and pine wood has spread from Xingrong City to surrounding counties.
Li Xiucheng's side was led by Xiao Daguang, and Jiang Changsheng also took decisive action.
At the beginning, because Xiao Daguang had the upper hand, he only increased the price by 30% to 50%, and basically swept away all the scattered goods in the Xingrong City market.
But with the addition of Jiang Changsheng, the competition began to become fierce.
No matter how much money Xiao Daguang paid, he would grab it at a higher price.
Even many sellers who had already negotiated with Xiao Daguang were pried away by Jiang Changsheng.
At the same time, prices for hard maple and pine have also risen.
It doubled the next afternoon.
On the third day, the price has officially tripled!
at the same time,
Shen Youliang at the lumber factory was furious.
A few nights ago, Niu Futang and Jiang Changsheng agreed to pay a payment for the goods the next day.
But after waiting all day, there was no news from the other party.
Shen Youliang simply went to Xinxin Furniture Factory in person, and after some convincing, Niu Futang gave him ten thousand like a beggar.
He said he would give the rest in two days.
But so far, not a single hair has been seen.
"A mere ten thousand yuan!"
"This damn Niu Futang is teasing me!"
Shen Youliang calculated based on the ledger that Xinxin Furniture Factory should pay half of it up front, which should be at least 120,000.
Not even one tenth has arrived yet.
The accountant at the lumber factory on the side said: "Xinxin Furniture Factory is here to rush for goods again. They just pulled two cars away in the morning. Niu Futang asked someone to tell us to stock up more goods quickly."
"Inventory? You're just calling for inventory, and you're not telling me to give me some money first."
"I spend real money on purchasing goods! How can I put in so much money!"
In the three-way cooperation, Shen Youliang is the one who suffers the most now.
Xinxin Furniture Factory worked overtime to produce, but the goods hadn't been shipped out yet and the money hadn't arrived, so he had to wait.
So far, almost 200,000 have been paid in.
The accountant of the lumber factory also said with a displeased look on his face: "Brother Shen, to put it bluntly, if I had known this, I might as well have cooperated with Li Xiucheng, at least in cash, and make money every day!"
"It's useless to say this now!"
"If I get on Jiang Changsheng's pirate ship, he won't let me get off until I lose a piece of my flesh."
Shen Youliang was also in a dilemma.
If it were anyone else, he could quit at any time.
But the person who is cooperating now is Jiang Changsheng. If you really offend this person, there will definitely be no good consequences in the future.
Moreover, more than 100,000 yuan has been paid in, which is his wealth and life. If he does not take it back, he will be in trouble for the rest of his life.
The lumber factory accountant smiled slightly: "Brother Shen, if this is really the case, there is nothing we can do about it."
"What can you do? Say it quickly!"
Shen Youliang asked hurriedly.
"We actually still have a lot of goods in the warehouse. In a short time, Xinxin Furniture Factory should have enough."
The old accountant lowered his voice and continued: "Li Xiucheng is now charging hard maple and pine wood at a high price. I heard that the price has almost tripled. If we sell it to him secretly, we will have money to place an order, and there will be a lot of money in between." I can make a big profit difference and put it in my own pocket.”
"If Jiang Changsheng finds out about this, I'm afraid..."
Shen Youliang did not want to provoke Jiang Changsheng from the bottom of his heart.
The old accountant smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have a cousin who is in the shipping business. Let him help us and give him some benefits when the time comes."
"Are you sure it's insurance?"
"I guarantee there will be no problem. At worst, we can get a batch out to try first. Anyway, we will only sell them to Li Xiucheng, and we won't offend Jiang Changsheng!"
"That's all it takes."
Shen Youliang hesitated for a moment, then patted the table and said, "Since everything is so safe, don't deliberately ignore Jiang Changsheng. Tell your cousin to go out in batches first, and sell them to whoever offers the highest price!" Chiang Kai-shek is not a good guy either, so if I make some money from him, I will feel at ease!"
"Okay, I'll arrange for him to come over right away, and we'll ship the goods quietly tonight!"
That night,
It's 2 o'clock in the morning, in the dead of night.
The lumber factory's own truck pulled out five loads of hard maple and pine wood. They took a long circuit with eighteen bends on the mountain road, and finally arrived at a small riverside dock in a county below Xingrong City.
At around five o'clock in the morning, a small cargo ship slowly approached.
…
Fairview Billiards Center.
Because the National Billiards Competition will start tomorrow.
So today the billiards center has been temporarily closed to clean up the competition venue, and everyone is busy preparing without touching the ground.
Things on Xiao Daguang's side were also progressing very smoothly.
As Li Xiucheng expected.
As expected, Jiang Changsheng quickly joined the war to grab goods.
The price of hard maple has soared threefold in a short period of time, and all the scattered hard maple and pine on the market have been wiped out.
Jiang Changsheng was extremely wealthy, which resulted in Xiao Daguang receiving almost no goods later.
But this was also what Li Xiucheng had planned before.
The purpose is to make Xiao Daguang show an attitude of being eager to acquire at a high price.
And Jiang Changsheng never leaves others a way to survive, and likes to kill them all.
Therefore, the capital invested in these three days was no less than 100,000, and most of the scattered wood was collected at prices nearly three times or even higher than the market price.
But Li Xiucheng settled the score.
According to three times the market price, the cost of a pool table made by Xinxin Furniture Factory would be as high as about 600 yuan each!
In other words, in fact, at this time, the profit margin is already very small.
What's more, their shipping price is lower than Jinxiu!
Therefore, when Li Xiucheng tripled the price for Xiao Daguang, he had already considered the subsequent cost issue.
As long as this price is maintained, even if Jiang Changsheng takes over, he will not make any money, or even lose money!
At noon, Xiao Daguang ran back excitedly.
"Why, Boss Xiao won't be acting with Jiang Changsheng today?"
Li Xiucheng asked jokingly.
"I'm having a great time acting. I've watched Jiang Changsheng spend real money with my own eyes these past few days."
"Watching Jiang Changsheng lose money makes me happier than making money myself!"
Xiao Daguang made no secret of his gloating: "Just this morning, Jiang Changsheng's people took away five more carts of hard maple wood."
"You didn't rob him?"
Li Xiucheng asked.
"Grab it. I paid three times the price, 12,000 yuan, as you said. But Jiang Changsheng's people got desperate, so they raised the price to 15,000 yuan and took it away."
"Looking at me, I almost couldn't hold back my laughter. This mother-in-law almost quadrupled the amount. She just spent money to burn it."
Xiao Daguang couldn't help but feel happy as he spoke.
"Then if you don't continue watching, what are you doing here?"
"I was thinking something was wrong. You know, there were actually no goods on the market yesterday. This batch of goods came in a weird way."
"So, I inquired behind the scenes and found out that this batch of goods was actually shipped by waterway ship from other provinces."
Xiao Daguang is naturally cautious and has a unique perspective on things.
Li Xiucheng frowned slightly: "Did it come by ship?"
