The reform and opening up that started in the past few years has been very effective. A large amount of wealth has gathered among some successful people who first tried the sea. A group of people who got rich first emerged, forming private capital. As soon as private capital appeared, it was based on its hobby. Li's nature has brought many performances that are incomprehensible to the people.
Computer memory is a typical example. The domestic market is completely dependent on "imports through abnormal channels." The memory itself is small in size but very valuable. It is a high-tech product that cannot be copied in China.
The domestic computer market is still in its infancy, and demand is strong. However, this is a high-tech product after all, and its current penetration rate is not particularly high, so the total market value is not very large.
For these simple reasons, when the market is affected by external factors and prices fluctuate, businessmen instinctively play capital games.
If the market is out of stock, the price should rise, but the extent of the increase should be determined by the market supply and demand. In the domestic memory market, something surprising has happened.
On the third day of the memory shortage, the price of memory in the Xinzhongguan market has more than doubled. A 4-megabyte memory that used to cost more than 300 yuan now costs 750 yuan, which cannot guarantee sufficient supply.
The reason is very simple. When many merchants discovered that memory prices were on the rise, they began to purchase goods. At first, they wanted to keep more inventory to ensure their normal business. When they found that the price of memory had increased by more than 100 per item, everyone became a little bit worried. They went crazy and started stocking up. As a result, memory prices would no longer maintain normal levels. Prices doubled overnight, and it seems that this trend will continue to rise. I don’t know when it will end.
An inadvertent hoarding action by a merchant may have used up funds in an instant that exceed the total value of memory in the market. If there is money but no goods, is it strange that the price of memory should go up like crazy? Moreover, the price increase caused by this will definitely not come to an end. Only when large quantities of new goods arrive can the price dam be broken.
In the market at that time, it is not difficult to imagine that some people will make a lot of money by hoarding goods, while others will lose everything because of greed.
At this time, Liu Kai had already led his younger brother to Shenzhen and Hong Kong carrying cash.
As a supplier and a landlord, Ayou initially wanted to take advantage of this mainland partner, but was defeated after several confrontations.
Chinese people like to talk at the dinner table, and there are no exceptions from south to north.
In a seaside fishing village, four people sat around a hot pot. In a simple environment, the food served today was not simple.
A passing wind
A rice shovel head
A five-step snake
Four people, three snakes, a black-bone chicken, a local green dragon, a plum plum, a plate of beef, a few plates of vegetables, and one meal are all simple but not simple.
Ayou put a lot of thought into this meal. He knew that Liu Kai was not very particular about food, so he didn't choose any grand hotel, but a small fishing village nearby. Hidden in the fishing village was This private restaurant is famous for eating snakes and seafood.
Despite the simple environment of the store, the prices of several special dishes are quite high. One of the legendary Lingnan dishes is called: "Taishi Five Snake Soup". The five precious snakes used in it, today Ayu I ordered three kinds in one go, plus a six-pound precious Samui fish. Even Ayu, who had already made a small fortune, felt his liver hurt. As for the local blue lobster, black-bone chicken, and beef, in this There are only a few decorations on the table.
Knowing that Yankees like to drink strong liquor, Ayou specially chose Yibin Wuliangye, which is highly concentrated. Of course, he would not drink such spicy liquor himself, so he could just use Rémy Martin XO to accompany him. The alcohol content can also make him a little cheaper. He wouldn't have been beaten down by Liu Kai when he came up.
All the efforts were in vain. The carefully selected environment and dishes made Liu Kai addicted. He took the bile from the live snake and put it into Wuliangye. After drinking a glass of snake bile wine, Liu Kai kept asking everyone to eat and drink. ! Ayou once again lamented the boldness and uninhibitedness of the northerners with his arrogant eating habits and drunkenness until the glass was empty.
However, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, when it was time to talk about business, the development of things was a little different from Ayou's imagination.
Liu Kai, who grew up in a geological compound since he was a child, went to the countryside to join a team, and risked his life before returning to the city to start a career. He has suffered hardships and experienced life-and-death competition. In addition, in recent years After training in the business world, I have already developed my own unique understanding of the business world. If I don't fight, if I need to fight, I will go all out, even if my life is at the critical moment.
Even if it is a small matter in the business world, you should have the attitude of a lion fighting a rabbit and use your best.
The modesty and restraint that the Chinese people admired was not reflected in him at all. He had an aggressive face and would flip the table if he disagreed, which made Ayouqi feel uncomfortable.
Only by being friendly can you make money. I don't know how this Mr. Kai, who looks like he is a gangster, can become so big now.
Faced with Liu Kai, who was resolute and insisted on going to the market to scan goods if the required quantity was not met, and re-establishing purchase channels, Ayou kept shouting "Master Kai" and repeatedly explained that the current customs control was strict, and that in the past period, he could Restore normal supply.
Liu Kai ignored him: "I am a long-term customer. Amity Computer, Lenovo Computer, Baian Computer, and Yuehai Yangbo Computer are all my customers. These computer installers do not care about customs or not. The signed contract must guarantee supply. The price can be negotiated but the quantity must not be negotiated. These installers also have contracts with end users. Once I breach the contract, there will be a lot of consequences later, and the result is that everyone will have to finish! "
Liu Kai gave a very good reason, and then stared at Ayou, his eyes blazing under his gold-rimmed glasses: "Ayou, we have cooperated for such a long time, today I will leave it to you to decide. You helped me get this together." Should I go to the market myself or contact Shuitou to reorganize the supply channels for goods that have been shipped for a period of time? Anyway, my brand of Kaixia Memory cannot be sold!"
Ayou frowned, as if the cold melon he had just eaten tasted a bit bitter. The supplier and the receiver have always been at odds. When the supply is sufficient and the price competition is fierce, the receiver is the boss, but the supply is tight. Generally speaking, the supplier should have the final say, including supply quantity and price. These rules do not seem to exist in front of the Yankee in front of me.
What is the real underworld? Ayou has seen too much and will never be afraid. Otherwise, his business would not be so big. But when faced with Liu Kai who only brought one younger brother and shouted in front of him, Ayou was surprisingly surprised. Good temper, after all, you can't lift the table today. If you really get tough, you may really lose the entire northern market.
"Master Kai, boss! You said that sweeping goods doesn't work at all. People who have goods now are reluctant to sell them and are waiting for the price to rise to make a lot of money. Even if we buy with cash, we can't do it. Such a large amount.”
There was obvious disdain on Liu Kai's face: "They are all short-sighted. How many days can this shortage last? I didn't realize that Hyundai and Samsung have already started full production. Their daily pellet production is enough for our mainland market to digest for several days." Nowadays, excluding mainland Hong Kong Island, Bay Island, Neon and Bangzi markets, there is a sufficient supply of goods. Why are you hoarding goods and waiting to make a lot of money? Once these goods rush in through the barriers, these hoarders will be the first to die. , you really want to make a fortune? Not only will all the goods in the inventory be thrown away, but also the sales channels that have been finally established will be lost. Who the hell would be willing to go back on their word with these people? Dealing with suppliers? It’s just a bunch of stupid people!”
Liu Kai's mouth is not clean. He speaks Mandarin clearly and neatly and is full of conversational partners. Northerners have a loud voice. In addition, when he talks about the short-sightedness and anger of merchants who stock up on goods, the big brother who is as big as a brick is at the table. The bumping direction of the shot shook the plates and bowls on the table, and it was full of momentum.
Ayou was a little confused. This Mr. Kai didn't come down to beg for goods. He looked like a bandit who came here to harm the goods: "Master Kai, what you say makes sense, but it's useless to just be reasonable. , if you want to solve the problem, you still have to find the source of goods.”
"So, look for the source of goods!" Liu Kai said confidently!
Ayu blinked, not knowing why.
Liu Kainai calmed down and changed his tone: "I just said that in Hong Kong Island next door, the supply of goods is actually very sufficient. What is missing now is someone willing to bring the goods in under the spotlight. I can tell you that I have my news. Channel, this time the customs crackdown is because there are oil and electrical traffickers here who have offended the big bosses in Beijing. If they are not eradicated, even the director of your provincial public security department will not be able to sit down. So the crackdown will be short-term. It won’t end. We can’t just because they are seeking death and affecting our purchase channels, right? If this continues, sooner or later we will have to change careers.”
Pingcheng is close to the center, and the consciousness of the people in Pingcheng is very high. The things that often open and close their mouths are national affairs. However, Kai Ye pointed out the root cause of this market fluctuation in a few casual words. He mentioned the big boss in Beijing, Director of the Provincial Department. Judging from the way he spoke, it was as if he himself was strategizing.
Businessmen all have a special kind of superstition, which is the power of power. They believe that as long as they get involved in officialdom, they can rise to the top. Liu Kai said that he had his own source of information, which forced Ayou to start to correct his attitude and carefully consider the solution to the matter.
No wonder I heard that several local parallel importers disappeared overnight. It turned out that they were the key targets of this attack.
Ayou frowned: "Master Kai, it's useless. Although it's not aimed at us, the current water level is so frightening that no one is willing to brave the wind and cross the sea. These people are killing people without blinking an eye, but they are all afraid of the customs." Check it out, if a shipment of goods is lost, everyone will be ruined and cannot afford the compensation. There is no other way out except jumping into the sea."
Liu Kai's face was full of enthusiasm, and he pointed at Ayou's forehead: "Those people who run errands and deliver goods have no brains. You are the real big boss, don't you have any brains? How much memory can we have for shipping goods every day? In total, is it as big as a Shanshui color TV set? To transport such a small amount of goods, you still need to use fishing boats and cargo ships?"
Ayou seems to have realized something. Yes, the goods coming in from the sea are all large items such as refrigerators, color TVs, and stereos. They are packed into a boat and slowly cross the sea. Then they are loaded onto trucks on land. They go through the barriers and memory. It's just an insignificant little piece included in it.
Now that the road for fishing boats to cross the sea is blocked, is there another way that can pass?
Liu Kai took a sip of wine, picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth. Then he pointed at Ayou with his chopsticks: "How about Mr. Kai show you a way? Let's make a fortune together later." Money?"
