Chapter 49 Coal for cash
"I got this only by looking for internal connections. When the time comes, you should be smart and don't say anything you shouldn't." Lin Ershan kindly reminded
Each industry has its own rules. The brick kiln owner only wanted coal, so he agreed immediately.
Lin Ershan handed him a cigarette, "Come on, brother, let's smoke one first. We can't smoke casually when we get to the mining area."
The brick kiln owner waved his hand and said, "The money is easy to come by. I'll go get the car first and ask Brother Lin to wait here for a while."
As long as he didn't wait too long, Lin Ershan had no objection and just said: "Brother, I still have a batch of gloves and masks here. I think your brick kiln factory can also use them. I happen to have a few bricks missing from the courtyard wall at home. I'll replace them with you." How about car bricks?”
The quality of those gloves and masks was very good, but they were not worth a load of bricks. Since the brick kiln owner set up the factory, he had never met anyone who could give them coal, so he agreed half-buying and half-freeing.
Almost three hours later, Lin Ershan brought the brick kiln owner's motorcade to the mining area.
The oranges in front of Lin Yun had long been gone. Now they brought the remaining oranges from the city, and they were almost finished exchanging them.
If they can exchange for coal stamps, no workers or their families in the mining area are willing to spend money. Now he has received a thick stack of coal stamps.
There were also many coal coupons in face value, and everyone didn't bargain. Those who didn't have two thousand kilograms collected two thousand kilograms in exchange.
The brick kiln owner got the approval slip for 1200 tons of coal and was sure that he could pull the goods today, so he gave Lin Ershan yuan in cash.
The man who spent the money was still flattering and said, "Brother Shan, if such good things happen in the future, you must remember me, brother."
Lin Ershan naturally had no reason not to agree. His face was indifferent, but his heart was already happy.
These days, many people don't like to deposit money in banks. His brick and tile factory also made a lot of money, so he thought he could make more money with enough coal, so he came with sufficient funds.
I was secretly glad that I had brought enough. It was originally said to be 400 tons, but now it is three times the amount. It was a huge bargain.
Even if there are fewer orders next year, coal is still a hard currency and you will definitely not lose money when changing hands.
1200 tons. Lin Ershan didn't expect Lin Yun to be so capable, so he walked aside and asked in a low voice: "You can't exchange that few oranges for so much coal, so you exchanged the rest with money?"
Lin Yun nodded. The oranges must be approved, but the money is not required.
"What's the price?"
Lin Yundao: "Ten yuan is exchanged for two thousand catties of tickets. They begged me to exchange them. Most of them are on credit. I will have to settle the money with others later."
"Awesome enough." Lin Ershan gave a thumbs up.
"What's the price over there?" Lin Yun knew that the coal mine owner paid a lot of money, but he didn't know the exact amount.
Lin Ershan looked proud and said: "According to the price mentioned by Sister Jingjing, it is 500 yuan per ton."
It's almost like exchanging a 50 yuan ticket for 500 yuan. The truck pulling coal still belongs to the brick kiln owner, so there is no need to pay for labor or gasoline.
"You can do it." Lin Yun gave him a thumbs up.
Lin Ershan smiled with a golden smile and said: "We are all good, but the most powerful one is Sister Jingjing."
Although Lin Jing was not here today, she had the greatest credit.
Over there, Lin Jing did not watch Lin Yun do business. Instead, she changed into new clothes and dressed up a little to go find Qin Zichuan. Today's matter was a big one and there was no room for carelessness.
When the two met, they were both stunned by each other.
In order to appear more mature, Lin Jing dressed up a little differently today. Her usual casual ponytail was neatly pinned back with a hairpin, and she put on a little light makeup. She looked more energetic and capable.
The cosmetics that can be purchased in this era are limited, and Lin Jing tried her best. She really wanted to get a woolen coat, but she really couldn't resist being outdoors in the winter in Qi City. The down jacket that cost her 200 yuan was bright red. Eyes, barely keeping up with the times.
She had always thought that Qin Zichuan was good-looking enough, but she didn't expect that he could be even more handsome with a little tidying up. If he had been born fifteen or twenty years later, he would have been able to eat and drink with just this face.
Bang bang bang.
Mr. Lin felt that he was young, and his heart was also young. He was so old, how could he still be moved by a person's appearance?
If you don’t see it, you won’t see it.
"When will we set off?" Qin Zichuan concealed his shock and asked calmly.
Lin Jing also regained her rationality. Making money is the most important thing. You can't look at a man forever, and there will be younger ones in the future.
"Let's go to the train station now." Lin Jing said.
Today is the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. In the past two years, more and more people have gone out to work. The Chinese New Year is about to come, and many people are returning to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year with large bags on their backs.
Travel tools are extremely scarce at this time. In a city like Qi City where there is no airport and the roads are not so easy to travel in winter, the green train is almost the only option for traveling home.
The number of green trains per day is limited, and pedestrians carry a lot of luggage. Crowding is normal, it just depends on how crowded it is.
There was a huge crowd at the entrance of the train station. It was obvious that a train had just arrived.
This is the trip for Lin Jing and others.
She had not seen what Cheng Housheng looked like when he was young. She only had a rough impression of him from his later interviews, so she made a big card and held it high, which read: Welcome Comrade Cheng Housheng.
This method of picking up people will be ruined in future generations. This is the first time for everyone to meet here. In addition, even though the two of them are dressed differently from the people in the city, there are many people watching before the person is picked up. .
However, most of the people who came to the train station were in a hurry and passed by after a quick glance. Lin Jing ignored them. She just had to do her own thing well.
Seeing that the crowd was about to pass, but the person she was looking for was not there, Lin Jing couldn't help but search around.
I saw two men who didn't look like they were going home, standing at a distance not far away, whispering to each other, and glancing in their direction from time to time.
Although she had never seen him when he was young, she had seen him in his fifties and sixties, and he had a rough outline. Lin Jing recognized the person she was waiting for at a glance, and walked over with Qin Zichuan to say hello.
"Hello, Comrade Cheng, we have been waiting for you for a long time." Lin Jing walked over and greeted her as if the two of them had known each other for a long time.
At this time, Cheng Housheng was still very young, he looked like he was in his early twenties, and he was unknown in the local area. But if nothing else, he dared to travel all over the country to do business. This courage alone had already made him stand out. The trend of the times has come.
What's more, he is just a low-key person, but he is not low-key at all in his work. He said it himself during the interview that he had already started doing business at the age of fifteen. By the time he was twenty, a household worth ten thousand yuan was nothing. That’s a million-yuan household.
