Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 119 Cement Factory

As soon as the trading company was established, Li Yihan took office, and of course he was responsible for the establishment. Although Li Yihan had no experience in this area, according to what Zhou Yuanqiang said, you should treat the company as a department and you are the supervisor. What should you do?

, just do whatever you want. In terms of personnel, Li Yihan also brought over some talented and good-natured veterans.

The purpose of Zhou Yuanqiang's establishment of a trading company was to negotiate with some companies in an honest manner. Therefore, the company had not been completed directly. He had already started to contact a small cement company more than 100 kilometers away in City S under the name of a company deputy manager.

factory.

The manufacturing process of cement is not complicated, but in the wasteland settlements, there is a shortage of limestone and clay. The equipment of the cement factory is also not expensive, like a small cement factory, it can be opened for a million. But without raw materials,

Even if you have a machine, you can only look at the mountains and sigh in vain. Zhou Yuanqiang's original wish to open a cement factory in a wasteland settlement with equipment was temporarily frustrated.

In the early years, there were cement factories in S City, but with the rapid development, factories like this heavy industry were all moved to other places, making way for economic development.

After driving for more than a hundred kilometers, I finally found the location of this small cement factory with the help of GPS. The location of this cement factory is indeed a bit remote, but the advantage is that all the raw materials for cement production here are available.

It can be mined nearby, which undoubtedly greatly reduces production costs.

It's not that Zhou Yuanqiang wanted to come to this remote place, but that his company is not famous, and large cement plants simply don't care about small companies like this.

The person who came to receive Zhou Yuanqiang was a factory assistant who had been through his forties. He was a bit strong and he could tell that he had been working on the production line all year round. As soon as he saw Zhou Yuanqiang get out of the car, he immediately greeted him warmly and said: "

Welcome Manager Zhou, our factory director has gone out to discuss a business, so I am really ashamed that I could not greet Manager Zhou in person."

Only ghosts believe your nonsense. If I hadn't seen myself driving a car worth hundreds of thousands, I'm afraid it would have been nice to have a small salesman to receive me.

Zhou Yuanqiang lamented the famous saying that a person relies on his clothes, and a Buddha relies on his gold clothing, and then he said: "You are too polite."

The office of this cement factory is not far from the production line of the cement factory. The deafening sound is simply a torment for those who are not used to it. After following the other party to the office, he first boasted about the advantages of his cement, and then

He was issued a safety helmet and led Zhou Yuanqiang towards the production line.

This was the first time for Zhou Yuanqiang to get to know these things up close. He did not shirk, endured the flying powder, and followed the other party.

The size of the grinding mill is very huge. Carloads of iron ore are ground into powder, but this is just one of them. Raw materials such as limestone, clay and coal will have separate crushers.

On the entire crushing line, seven or eight grinding machines are working, occupying a very large area.

The entire process of cement production is not complicated, but if the operation and equipment are not up to standard, the quality of the cement will be seriously affected.

After walking around in a circle, Zhou Yuanqiang finally saw the structure of the entire cement plant, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder. Even though this was just a small cement plant, the investment was very large, and it was not something that ordinary people could complete. Yes.

Imagine what the scale of these large-scale cement plants with hundreds of millions of investments will be?

Sitting back in the office again, after changing out of his work clothes and cleaning the dust on his clothes, Zhou Yuanqiang suddenly discovered that after experiencing the sound of these machines at close range, he no longer felt the sound just now when he stayed in the office.

It feels harsh.

The deputy factory officer poured a glass of water for Zhou Yuanqiang and said: "Manager Zhou, our factory is a small factory, but it is a big investment. This industry is a money-making industry. As you can see, our factory's business is very busy now, almost

Only by being on 24 hours a day can we meet the customer's order volume."

"You mean you can't accept orders from our company?" Zhou Yuanqiang despised this kind of sub-factory. How could Zhou Yuanqiang not know this kind of negotiation skills? Since you can't meet the customer's order, I'm afraid your attitude towards yourself

, wouldn’t be so enthusiastic.

Sure enough, when the other party heard that Zhou Yuanqiang's underlying intention was to change to another cement factory, he immediately became anxious and said: "Oh, don't be anxious, Manager Zhou. Our factory can still expand its production capacity. In any case, the customer is

God, we will definitely try our best to meet the requirements of our customers. However, your request, Manager Zhou, really makes us a little embarrassed. Our factory is at a time of great development. This unmarked packaging will somewhat reduce the visibility of our factory. Please

look……"

Zhou Yuanqiang laughed and said: "You can't say that. If a factory wants to survive, visibility is certainly important, but I think profit output is the most important, right? As long as there are profits, the factory can continue and survive.

As long as the factory is still there, the popularity will one day increase. But if the factory is shut down, how can it be famous? So although the price we talked about before is the low price in the market, don’t forget that our order

, but it’s enough to keep your factory working 24 hours a day for a whole year.”

In this era, customers are hard to come by, so Zhou Yuan's forced price is even lower than other factories, and he also specifically requires that the packaging bags be given to him for free, and no additional calculations can be made. The price seems to be very low, but with such a huge quantity,

It only takes half a year, which is enough for them to recoup their investment in the factory, and they will make a fortune steadily in the second half of the year.

Zhou Yuanqiang is not very shrewd, but after all, he has been working in the lower class for a year or two. When he came out to receive him from this deputy factory, which was not a factory, it can be seen that the other party had actually discussed and agreed. Otherwise, a deputy factory

How could the factory, alone, negotiate such a large order with Zhou Yuanqiang so easily?

Seeing Zhou Yuanqiang's firm words, the other party hesitated for a moment and suppressed the idea of ​​raising the price. After all, such a big customer was rare to see.

Since the conditions of both parties are acceptable, the next step is easy. Pay a 30% deposit for each month's order volume, and settle the remaining 70% of the month at the end of the month. This will undoubtedly make the other party happy.

First, the most difficult thing for a company is that funds cannot be withdrawn on time. Some companies even settle accounts only once every six months. In this way, if the other party has any problems, it is easy for the supplier to be unlucky as well.

After signing the contract, Zhou Yuanqiang paid 30% of the first month via phone transfer on the spot, which made the other party heave a sigh of relief.

As soon as the deputy factory saw the contract signed, of course he ordered his men to book a banquet. However, Zhou Yuanqiang did not have a lot of time to waste on him, so he declined the other party's kindness and hurriedly drove back to City S.

There is indeed a lot of work now. In fact, this order was completely based on the reputation of the trading company, but it bypassed the trading company. The trading company is still being established and will not be able to put into normal operations for at least half a month. Therefore,

The warehouse located in the outskirts of city S has not yet been linked to the trading company. The cement will be temporarily transported here and then transferred to the apocalypse by itself.

I used to think that this warehouse was already very huge, but now it seems that once all the materials are gathered here, the warehouse can't accommodate it at all. So Zhou Yuanqiang took over the two large warehouses next to it at the same time. This is considered satisfactory.

own requirements.

At present, it is just a design company and a trading company, which makes Zhou Yuanqiang feel exhausted. He really doesn't know if he will be exhausted when the situation becomes bigger in the future. It is very hard to keep such a secret.

, but it happened to be too secretive, and it was impossible to share it with others, so I could only continue to work hard on my own.

It's not that Zhou Yuanqiang doesn't have people he trusts, but in this world, as long as you have enough interests, even the people you trust may betray you. Now he has no power at all. No matter what kind of threat it is, he is not able to

Responsible. Therefore, whenever night falls, Zhou Yuanqiang can only silently endure the hardship of not sharing the secret.

Zhou Yuanqiang also thought about it. Ordinary supplies can still be purchased in China, but some prohibited supplies cannot be purchased in China. After all, many things in China are strictly monitored. If it attracts attention and is targeted on him, things will be big.

Okay. But it’s different abroad. Materials that are prohibited in China are not necessarily prohibited abroad. For example, in the United States, as long as you have a gun license, you can own a gun at will, but in China, ordinary people may have a gun license.

?

Weapons and the like have always been an issue that Zhou Yuanqiang cannot avoid.

There are many skilled craftsmen in the settlement, and they can even use polishing methods to make guns. However, the quality of these guns is somewhat disrespectful. The shooting accuracy is about the same, and the lifespan is also very short. Some of the craftsmanship is rougher, and even

It is easy to explode and is definitely a time bomb.

In the past, I could tolerate this from the perspective of a team. But now my perspective is different, and my thoughts on the problem are also different.

In order for the settlement to go further and better, many things must be unified. For example, weapons are the most urgently needed. The raw materials in the settlement are seriously insufficient, and there are various models of guns. In terms of repair parts, there is an exception.

Trouble is, many guns have to be discarded and become scraps due to lack of maintenance parts. Therefore, Zhou Yuanqiang must find a stable source of weapons, but this source cannot be domestic or a developed country.

So, where is the easiest place to get weapons, has a good reputation, is aboveboard, has an extremely active arms trade, and can even buy large weapons without being noticed by the country or international countries? This question needs to be thought about carefully.

think.
