Ever since Wu Yushu kidnapped Zhao Tai, the Zhao family was kicked out of the old fifth district.
The supply of sand and gravel for the Heping construction site was lost, and there were no other projects in hand, so it was temporarily suspended.
That night, Guan Lei and Binbin were transferred to Dongling People's Hospital under Zhao Fengnian's arrangement.
Although Zhao Tai invited Lu Tao to live in Zhao's house, he ultimately chose to live in the hospital because he was worried about Guan Lei.
Early the next morning, Chen Jinfa's call came to Lu Tao's mobile phone: "I found some of the situation you asked me to check, but the actual situation is somewhat different from what you said."
Lu Tao, who was washing up, spit out the foam in his mouth, rinsed his mouth and asked, "What's going on? Tell me!"
Chen Jinfa said straight to the point: "Li Chengkai in the Soviet area is indeed engaged in sand and gravel business, but his scale is larger than we imagined. All the goods in his hands are shipped by sea to places in South China that are economically developed but have low sand and gravel production. Let's go!
I heard that he has connections there, and after deducting the freight, the river sand he delivers is more profitable than selling it locally! Moreover, he also has several battlefields in other small, low-cost cities in the province, so your suggestion that he is dumping sand and gravel in the Tanglin area does not exist. "
"Isn't this information correct?"
Lu Tao walked to the bathroom, stood in front of the window and lit a cigarette: "The news I found here is that the black sand stolen by Li Chengkai was all sold to Tangling! And yesterday I asked Zhao Tai to find out Look, this is indeed the case, his sand enters Dongling through Yao Xiaowen!"
"You don't know this. In actual decoration operations, the proportion of sand and gravel must be determined according to the actual situation. For example, the proportion of sand and cement used for laying wall tiles and floor tiles is different, and the materials of aggregates used in the north and south are also different. , some areas in the south use stone powder, while in the north river sand or river sand is often used."
Chen Jinfa explained with a smile: "It rains in the south and snows in the north, so there are big differences in building materials. The sand and gravel markings that are suitable for us in the north may not be qualified in the south! And the sand and gravel that can be used in the south are in the north On the contrary, it does not apply.”
Lu Tao was stunned for a moment: "I didn't realize that you still know something about decoration."
"I know nothing about it. This is what I found out after I didn't sleep all night and asked some developers and construction workers! I, Chen Duba, am a private detective. If I don't have the ability to spot people, how can I do it with just a few words? Make money?"
After Chen Jinfa finished speaking proudly, he immediately changed the subject: "What I said is not the point. Did you smell something different in my information?"
Lu Tao pondered for a while: "You mean that the sand and gravel that Li Chengkai sells to South China are classified and sent away if they meet the standards. The remaining sand and gravel that cannot be used in the southern market but are suitable for the northern market will be sent to Local...since the benefits of long-distance are higher than local, there seems to be no need to waste too much energy locally."
"clever!"
Chen Jinfa took the words with a smile: "According to the information I found, Yao Xiaowen has a set of equipment on his battlefield, and will send sand that matches the southern label to Li Chengkai, and exchange it for the same price. The northern grade sand is used to earn the price difference.
This kind of cooperation makes me feel that he is not like Li Chengkai's agent, but more like the wholesaler of the other party. He buys the sand that Li Chengkai cannot transport away at a low price, so that the other party does not have to worry about sales and can get rid of the inventory. It's a win-win for both of them. "
"If you say that, then I feel your pulse!"
Lu Tao's eyes lit up: "With this news, my next work will be much easier to handle. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Fa!"
Chen Jinfa smiled reservedly: "You're welcome, isn't that why you gave me the shares to do this? Since I got the benefits, I have to show my self-worth."
After Lu Tao ended his conversation with Chen Jinfa, he returned to the ward and said to Jin Rui: "Find two groups of people as soon as possible. One group will be sent to Zhao's battlefield, and the rest will follow me to Wangbingou. Let's go to Yao Xiaowen's Going around the battlefield.”
…
Half an hour later, Jin Rui drove a rented Hyundai Tucson to a rural area in Wangbingou Township and parked outside Yao Xiaowen's Xingsheng battlefield.
Yao Xiaowen's sand field is very simple. There are only two simple houses with colored steel tiles standing on the open land next to a dry river. Two sand washing machines in the distance are at full power to separate the clean sand from the stones. There is no courtyard wall, but a simple circle with cement piles and barbed wire.
Following Lu Tao's instructions, Jin Rui drove the car into the yard and stopped in front of the Caigang tile-roofed house.
A bald man wearing a military coat in the house heard the sound, went out to check, and asked Lu Tao who got out of the car: "Want to buy sand, buddy?"
Lu Tao nodded: "Yes, is your boss here?"
The bald man took out the Great Hall of the People from his pocket and handed one to Lu Tao: "The boss is not here. My name is Zhang Xuelin. I am the person in charge of this battlefield. It is the same if you talk to me."
Lu Tao took the cigarette and replied with a smile: "The amount of sand I want is too large. I'm afraid you can't make the decision. I have to talk to your boss."
Seeing that Lu Tao was not very old, Zhang Xuelin asked dubiously, "How many do you want?"
Lu Tao pointed at the sand washing machine in the yard and boasted: "If my business is concluded, small machines like yours, even if they are dry and smoking, may not be able to supply enough goods."
Seeing that Lu Tao didn't look like he was lying, Zhang Xuelin greeted him enthusiastically, "It's cold outside. You go inside and drink some water. I'll give the boss a call."
"good."
Lu Tao agreed, walked into the poorly decorated room with a stove, and sat on the peeling sofa in front of the second-hand desk.
About fifteen minutes later, a Honda CRV drove into the battlefield and parked in front of the simple room, and then Yao Xiaowen walked towards the room with his handbag under his arm.
Yao Xiaowen is in his early thirties, and his style is the standard for people in this era. He has a shaved head, a short mink coat, and a gold chain as thick as a little finger around his neck. He looks both rustic and arrogant. Feel.
In the room, Zhang Xuelin, who was chatting with Lu Tao, saw this, stood up from the office chair, and said to Lu Tao: "Brother, let me introduce to you, this is the boss of our battlefield, Yao Xiaowen."
Lu Tao stood up, smiled and extended his palm: "Hello, Boss Yao."
"Hey, hello!"
Yao Xiaowen held Lu Tao's hand and greeted warmly: "You're welcome, sit down and chat! I heard on the phone that you came here to discuss cooperation? How much sand do you want?"
"I'm here to discuss cooperation, but not to buy sand."
Lu Tao smiled and looked at Yao Xiaowen: "I am from the Zhao family battlefield."
