As this silver-gray 10,000-ton bulk carrier entered the port, the crowd gathered at the far end of the dock immediately became agitated.
The heads of small and medium-sized grain and oil companies that had ordered soybeans from Red Star Trading all started to speed up their pace and jogged to the unloading warehouses.
Looking at those large-caliber port grain suction machines, with pipes extending out and inserted into the cabin full of golden soybeans.
Accompanied by the humming sound of machines, plump beans began to be poured into the granary.
Occasionally, a few soybeans were blown away by the strong suction airflow, and were picked up by a few new small bosses, who placed them in the center of their palms and examined them carefully.
"Oh my god! Are the new beans of this quality again?"
"What is the origin of this Red Star Trading?"
“Two ships of 10,000-ton bulk cargoes arrive at the port every week. That’s really impressive!”
"That's right! I heard that Lao Li and Lao Liu were the first to place orders. Each of them brought back 3,000 tons, earning next year's profits in advance!"
"When I think about how arrogant they are, I feel really bad."
"Damn it! The bastard took all the advantage!"
Several small business owners who had not yet received their turn to pick up the goods began to curse.
While hoping that Red Star Trading will buy more discounted raw soybeans, I am also looking forward to the next silver-gray bulk carrier arriving at the port.
Because according to the delivery schedule published in the ordering group, there will be a similar flight arriving at the port every two days in the next two months.
This made the small bosses in the group, who saw others reaping the benefits, start to cry out.
Some small bosses who couldn't wait even came to the dock to take a look at the second batch of soybeans arriving at the port, fearing that Red Star Trading would make a good start and then fool them with the moldy garbage soybeans that had been stored for more than half a year.
It’s not like these bosses in the dry food and oil business haven’t encountered unscrupulous suppliers before.
First coax them into signing the futures contract, and then send over a batch of old goods that have been piled up in the warehouse when the time comes.
If you go back and sue someone, the sky-high litigation fees alone will be enough to bankrupt you.
The cash delivery method of Red Star Trading is truly unique in the Rizhao soybean market.
Of course, this bulk carrier named Tiehan 002 did not appear out of thin air.
On the evening of the first delivery, Chen Jue saw that there was more than 50 million yuan lying in the account of Red Star Trading. He did not directly withdraw the money to pay off debts or hire celebrities for endorsements.
Instead, let the old merchants reserve the taxes and customs fees they should pay in advance, and invest the rest into increasing logistics and transportation.
The unscrupulous villagers were sent to Xiangshan to contact Manager Zhang Haiyuan of Hongyu Shipping, and asked him to use his connections to buy four old bulk carriers with a full load of about 500 tons at a price ranging from 800 million to 4 million yuan per ship.
These old ships were towed back to the Rubik's Cube Factory's shipyard for refurbishment one by one, sprayed with Tiehan Logistics' ship sides, and then sent to the Far East to operate soybean routes.
This has increased the transportation capacity by nearly five times, making the soybean delivery speed at Rizhao Port even faster.
It used to take a week to travel from Rizhao Port to the Glazhovka Terminal in the Greater Russian Hassan District and back. Now it has been shortened to 48 hours, with a new batch of tons of soybeans arriving at the port.
Although it is not as good as those domestically produced super grain transport ships with a displacement of up to 40 tons.
But the advantage is that the ship is 'small' and has a high speed. It is disguised as a new dual-powered ship with a speed of 5 knots. It enters and leaves the port frequently. With the cooperation of five -ton bulk carriers, it can travel a medium-distance route of more than kilometers just like taking off.
If Chen Jue really wanted to buy those super ships, not to mention whether he would have enough working capital on hand, he would not be able to easily gather the manpower to operate such super ships.
You know, in order to support these five 5-ton bulk carriers, he had to mobilize more than half of his iron golems!
A giant ship of 40 tons has at least a hundred people on board.
Even if Chen Jue wanted to change, he couldn't do it!
Recruiting real seafarers is even more impossible. The scene of "loading soybeans" into the cabin alone cannot be hidden from these outsiders.
Of course, replacing all seafarers with iron golems has another advantage, which is that it is safe, flexible and controllable!
If an emergency occurs, a simple satellite call or a command in the MC server chat box will allow these tough guys to dig a big hole under the cabin, allowing them to sacrifice themselves and sink to the bottom of the sea with the ship.
If socially recruited seafarers are really used to replace them, it will actually constitute a disguised restriction on these soybean transport ships.
Since you have already chosen the easy path of farming by using MC plug-ins, it will be difficult to achieve great things if you tie your hands!
……
However, not long after Iron Man 002 entered the port.
A young man with a plain head who mixed in with the grain and oil bosses witnessed the whole scene of cash delivery and then greeted several acquaintances around him.
While marveling at it, he walked to the parking lot outside the port while smoking a cigarette.
He looked around nervously, making sure that no one was following him.
The young man with a flat head ran all the way to the corner of the parking lot and knocked on the door of a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle with a yellow and black license plate and a modified Maybach.
"Beep~" twice, the electric side door of the Mercedes-Benz opened, and the flat-headed young man saw this and quickly put out his cigarette butt and got into the car. "Lei Zi, did you see everything clearly at the dock?"
The middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sitting in the middle-row armchair of the business car, asked in a lazy tone, and asked a long-legged and beautiful secretary of Da Lei who was squeezed in the back seat to pass him a lit cigar.
The flat-headed young man named Lei Zi took the cigar and reported with a look of trepidation: "Look, Brother Wang! The ships used by Red Star Trading are all new ships of the Iron Man Logistics Company. The beans are all newly harvested. I just picked up a few scattered beans next to the grain pump. Please take a look!"
After saying this, the young man with a flat head took out a few golden and plump soybean seeds from his pocket.
The bespectacled man named Brother Wang took the soybeans, looked at them, and sniffed them. He showed a bit of suspicion on his face: "It feels very moist, without any musty smell. It's really the same as the rumors on the market, all of them are high-quality beans from the Heihe and Heinong series that have just been harvested from the fields!"
Lei Zi, who was standing next to him, quickly gave him a thumbs up and flattered him: "Brother Wang, your skills are really amazing! I've heard my dad mention you since I was a kid, saying that you're the best at spot soybeans in Rizhao. You know exactly which land a bean comes from after it's passed through your hands!"
When the man with glasses heard the flattery, a look of complacency first appeared on his face, but then he just smoked his cigar and fell into deep thought.
Wang Daoliang has been working hard in Rizhao Port for so many years, and the Yulong Shipping Group under his name has contracted more than 15% of the grain and oil import and export business in Hong Kong.
They send their own ocean-going cargo ships to buy some common goods and old goods in warehouses from abroad at low prices, and then resell them to the domestic market to make a huge profit from the difference.
Especially in terms of soybean imports, he cannot get involved for the time being except for the business of state-owned enterprises with Chinese characters in their names, such as COFCO and China National Textiles.
The remaining medium and small grain and oil companies such as Jinliang Oils and Fats are basically long-term cooperative customers of Yulong Shipping.
Normally, whenever soybeans from America arrived at the port, many small factory managers like Jin Lizhi would visit him as a guest. Relying on their acquaintances and private gifts, they would buy 18,000 tons of spot soybeans from Wang Daoliang to be extracted for oil in order to maintain the operation of the factory.
Relying on the connections he accumulated in Rizhao and the stable supply channels of genetically modified soybeans in America, Wang Daoliang's business has always been smooth sailing.
However, some time ago, a company called Red Star International Trade suddenly emerged and broke this good situation with the method of "cash discount for spot goods"!
In just one week, relying on the small amount of 2 tons landed, dozens of companies with oil pressing business contacted Yulong Shipping.
It was said that either the amount of soybean pick-up in the second half of the year would be drastically reduced, or the cooperation would be canceled altogether.
This made Wang Daoliang, who has been controlling the soybean supply lifeline of Rizhao's medium and small grain and oil companies, a little uneasy.
After all, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing his parents!
So Wang Daoliang used his connections to secretly investigate the background of Red Star Trading to find out who this "dragon crossing the river" was.
You wouldn’t know the result until you check. Once you check, Wang Daoliang will be dumbfounded!
This Red Star International Trading Company is actually a rebranded company that just bought the business license from someone else!
Apart from the 20-square-meter small cubicle office, the rest of the headquarters and main body seemed to be non-existent.
What made Wang Daoliang even more depressed was that Red Star Trading not only obtained import and export qualifications by buying other people's licenses, but also made sufficient preparations in advance for the customs declaration procedures for soybeans, including materials on the origin, leaving no room for fault at all.
With such a clean background, even if he wanted to use some overt means to deal with Red Star Trading, he had no chance for the time being.
So after thinking it over, Wang Daoliang sent a smart junior to sneak into the pick-up site to see what Red Star Trading was up to.
Because in the eyes of an insider like Wang Daoliang, the soybean import business done by Red Star Trading is simply a loss-making business!
Although the high-discount cash pickup method can quickly recover funds, it ultimately cannot avoid the cost price of soybeans.
Even Russia, which has been sanctioned by the West for more than 20,000 items, cannot import such cheap, high-quality non-GMO soybeans.
Not to mention the logistics costs of sea transportation.
"Brother Wang, can you see what's wrong with these beans?" Lei Zi, who was standing next to him, saw that the other party was lost in thought, and asked in a low voice after waiting for a moment.
Wang Daoliang took a deep puff of his cigar, rubbed the soybeans on his hands with his fingers, and his eyes became sharp: "These soybeans are most likely not produced in the Far East!"
"The soybean oil yield of Maozi is low, only 16%, so it won't be so oily when rubbed."
"Or maybe Red Star Trading is deliberately setting up a trap. They use these high-quality beans to heat up the market in the early stage and attract these small bosses to join. Then they tempt them to sign futures agreements and try to cheat them out of their advance payments!"
"This kind of case happened in Rizhao more than a decade ago."
When Lei Zi heard this, his face changed immediately.
Because he had several good friends who were bosses in that pick-up group, and they were planning to get the goods from Red Star Trading.
If the person ran away with the money, these acquaintances and friends would probably go bankrupt.
So Lei Zi asked with a guilty conscience: "Then... then Brother Wang, should we report the Red Star Trade?"
Wang Daoliang smiled mysteriously, revealing an expression of confidence in his victory: "Why do you want to report it? The scheme set up by Red Star has just begun. Now, first, we have not violated the law, and second, we have not received advance payments from these idiots."
"Let's play with this dragon that crossed the river!"
"Isn't it just a discount? I'll ask a few people to place more orders and see if this shell company can come up with so much stock!"
"Once this bubble bursts, those customers who were previously wavering and waiting will naturally come back to us, Yulon. Without Red Star's beans to make oil, will their factories close down?"
After saying that, the black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle drove away from the dock parking lot.
After sending Lei Zi to the destination, Wang Daoliang asked the pretty secretary in the back seat to hand him a satellite phone and dialed an overseas number: "Hello? Brother Smith?"
"It's been a long time since I saw you!"
"I would like to ask your ADM business intelligence personnel to help me check the soybean situation in the Far East. Recently, a troublemaker has come to my territory to make trouble! It is about to affect our cooperation in the second half of the year!"
