Chapter 34: Seeing a Tiger and Another Tiger
Jin Hu just said: "Find your own bed!" The five mountain eggs suddenly rushed to grab the beds.
Jin Hu looked at him and shook his head, while Zhang Yi Fan laughed and said to Jin Hu: "These young people are so energetic and lively, it's comfortable just looking at them."
"We discussed something earlier, you guys stay here and don't cause trouble," Jin Hu said as he pulled Zhang Yi Fan into his room. Zhang Yi Fan walked two steps before turning back to the five of them and saying: "There are plates in the room, help yourselves! There's also some small bread and fruit over there, don't be polite!"
Jin Hu pulled Zhang Yi Fan to his own room. Zhang Yi Fan asked Jin Hu, "What's up?" Jin Hu took out a woven bag from his travel bag and put it on the bedside table, opening it for Zhang Yi Fan to look inside.
"Damn it!" Zhang Yifan stretched his neck to take a look, then took out a gold bar from inside and examined it carefully before turning his head to ask Jin Hu: "Where did you get this big yellow croaker?"
"What about the family's assets? How much can they be exchanged for now?" Jin Hu asked Zhang Yifan.
Zhang Yifan looked at the contents of the bag: "Do you want to sell it according to the collection price or the gold price?"
"Of course, it's whatever can be exchanged for more money that will sell!" Jin Hu said, looking at Zhang Yi Fan.
Zhang Yifan thought for a moment: "This big yellow croaker is rare, I know that small yellow croakers are collected at 150,000 to 160,000 yuan per root, but I don't know about the big ones. I estimate it's around 1.4 million to 1.5 million yuan per root."
Jin Hu nodded: "Then you help take a look first".
Zhang Yifan listened to Jin Hu's words and said to him, "Brother! Once this thing is sold, it will be gone. If you're not in a hurry for the money, just keep it yourself."
"I want to exchange some money to rent a warehouse, if not I'll have to find someone to exchange the US dollars in my hand!" Jin Hu said his plan to Zhang Yi Fan.
After listening to Jin Hu's words, Zhang Yi Fan thought for a moment and said: "Then I'll help you ask someone. His father is in the steel business, and his hometown is by the sea. I've heard that his father has a street there." After finishing speaking, he dialed a phone number and asked two questions, saying: "He'll come over in an hour. His family has an old warehouse for storing steel materials. You need to fix it up before using it, but the price is relatively cheap. Do you want to buy or rent? Discuss the time with him and go take a look."
Putting down the phone, Zhang Yifan pulled Jin Hu: "Come! Come! Sit down and talk about business!"
Jin Hu smiled and said, "You're smiling so slyly, it's definitely not good!" He sat down beside Zhang Yi Fan, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to him, and lit one for himself: "What is it?"
"How many Meizi do you have on hand?" Zhang Yifan said with a puff of smoke.
"Two hundred and fifty million more than a little." Jin Hu said to Zhang Yifan.
Zhang Yifan listened, coughed twice: "Damn! So you're the big rich man!" After finishing, he pretended to want to dig into Jinhu's pocket.
"What are you doing?"
"Pay me back the remaining money from last time," Zhang Yifan said with a smile to Jin Hu.
Jintiger slapped his fat hand: "Hurry up! Let's talk business".
"I'll give you 6.5, all changed for me" Zhang Yifan said to Jin Hu: "The standard now is 6.12".
Jin Hu thought for a moment: "Alright! I'll get the money to you in a few days." Jin Hu didn't mind Zhang Yi Fan taking a cut, letting others benefit a bit, and they would work harder as a result.
Zhang Yifan listened and smiled, nodding his head. He then patted the bag on the table: "It's better if you put these things away first. If not, they might fall into the wrong hands, and the price won't be high. Rushing to sell won't get a good price! If you really want to sell, I can help you see if there are any collectors interested."
Jin Hu thought for a moment, and realized that keeping it himself was not very useful, so he might as well exchange it for money to buy crystal, which made more sense. He said to Zhang Yi Fan: "Help me find one, if it's suitable, I'll sell it." After finishing speaking, he took out a large yellow croaker from inside and put it on the table: "This is a sample!"
The two of them chatted for a while, then walked out of Zhang Yifan's room and went to the side house. They saw that five heads were sitting in front of the TV watching a movie, and it was an old one - Schwarzenegger's "True Lies" from his younger days. The five people were completely absorbed in the film, even forgetting to eat the snacks they held in their hands.
Jin Hu and Zhang Yi Fan sat outside, sipping tea and chatting. After waiting for about half an hour, they finally heard the sound of a car outside. The two had just stood up when the door was pushed open, and a chubby figure walked in.
Upon seeing this person, Jin Hu smiled. It was none other than Ding Jianhu, the fatso who used to be a regular customer of the prostitute next door to Yu Qin's former residence.
"It's you" Ding Jian saw Jin Hu and wasn't surprised either.
Zhang Yifan asked the two of them: "Do you two know each other?"
Ding Jian saw the tiger and told them what had happened: "You don't know, he's been making a big fuss."
Jin Hu listened and waved his hand, saying: "Let's talk about the main thing! Do you have a warehouse?" It's not clear if this Jiang Lin is a fat man or something, but among so many people in Jiang Lin, Zhang Yifan actually knows Ding Jianhu, this fat man.
Ding Jianhu directly pulled a small stool to sit down beside the two: "In the past, doing steel business was still okay, but this year's market is really bad, our family's three warehouses are now only using one".
Jin Hu's face began to turn sour, I'm preparing to rent a warehouse, not here to listen to your complaints. Zhang Yifan also became impatient: "I said, fatty, talk about your warehouse! Get to the point".
Ding Jian smiled and said, "The key point is coming up." After finishing speaking, he took out a cigarette and lit it: "If you want to rent, I'll give you a discount. We're all familiar with each other, and the place isn't far from the seaside. It's just 20-30 minutes by car!"
"How deep is the water nearby?" Jin Hu asked after hearing this.
Ding Jian looked at Jin Hu and said: "In the past when smuggling cars were the most rampant, there would be dozens of them in one night, so the water was deep enough."
"Then take me to see," Jin Hu said to Ding Jianhu.
Ding Jianhu smiled and said, "If you have time, I can accompany you tomorrow. Now there are two warehouses, one large and one small. The smaller one is closer to the town, while the larger one is a bit farther away."
"Then we'll go early tomorrow morning," Jin Hu said to Ding Jianhu.
"Alright!" Ding Jian saw Hu's nod and then said to Zhang Yifan, "Bring over the thing you've been bragging about, let me take a look. If it's really as amazing as you say, I'll give you 3 million for it."
Zhang Yifan heard that business was coming to the door, and he happily entered the house. In a short while, he took out his own Tang knife and handed it over to Ding Jiantao's hands.
Ding saw the tiger and pulled it out, taking a look: "Can I try my knife now?"
"Go ahead and try, I'll go find a thin steel bar for you." Zhang Yifan smiled and was about to turn around to look for something.
Ding Jianhu said: "Don't look for it anymore, I have it with me." After finishing speaking, he took out a small steel bar as thick as a thumb from his pocket.
"Damn it!" Zhang Yifan cursed: "Let you cut ordinary small steel bars, what kind of thing did you find for me, don't buy it if you can't even bother to get the right stuff".
"Haha!" Ting Jianhu laughed and said: "Let you brag again, okay, go find a steel bar for me."
Jin Hu looked at Ding Jianhu's hand and asked: "What is this thing that can be seen?"
Ding saw the tiger smiling and handed over the steel bar in his hand to Jinhu: "The ghost's imported knife, used on the machine tool, this little devil is not a thing, but this thing is played well by others, and the good ones are made by German and Japanese factories. Don't underestimate this one, it's over 600,000."
"Not bad!" Jin Hu's spirits lifted: "Will this thing sell well?"
Jin Hu said this, Ding saw the tiger came in spirit: "Of course, but this thing is not easy to do. Every year we have to import these high-end steels from these countries. Although our steel exports are so many, they sell them to us and we earn the money back." After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Yifan taking out the scrap rebar and stood up to cut the rebar.
Looking at the thing in his hand, Jin Hu had an idea. Why can't he sell this? Why let the little devils earn their money and use it to build Yun Hao?
Having thought of this, Jin Hu said to Ding Jianhu: "If I can get this for you, will you be able to sell it for 41,000?"
"Is the quality exactly the same?" Ding Jiantao put down the Tang knife in his hand and sat beside Jin Hu, asking.
"The quality is also slightly better than this one, about 5% better." Jin Huo couldn't believe his warship couldn't handle something like that.
Ding Jian saw Hu listening and looked at Jin Hu saying: "What kind of road did you take to get here?"
"What's the point of asking this? Anyway, once it falls into your hands, can you sell it or not?"
"I'll ask my dad about this," he said, nodding at Jin Hu and standing up to make a phone call in the corner of the yard.
Zhang Yifan walked to Jin Hu's side: "Can you really get this?" Looking at Jin Hu nodding, Zhang Yifan said: "This is a profitable business"
After waiting for a few minutes, Ding Jianhu returned and said to Jin Hu: "If you can achieve the quality you mentioned, I won't charge you for using this warehouse. However, we need to test the first batch of knives, we can't just listen to what you say, and the manufacturer also needs to test them for a period of time."
Jin Hu nodded: "I don't care, but if you pass the test, you have to pay for the knife in full. In the future, bring the money and pick up the goods, and also bring me a new knife as a reference." Jin Hu was not interested in taking IOUs, he was waiting for the rice to be cooked.
"It's impossible to bring the goods and pick them up at the same time, we need to have some time for inspection, at most one week." Ding Jiantao said after hearing this, nodding his head: "Then I'll go back first today, tomorrow morning I'll call you and we can go see the warehouse together." After finishing speaking, he followed Jin Hu and Zhang Yifan to bid farewell, then walked out of the house.
Ding saw Hu being sent out of the yard, and then the two of them turned their heads back.
Ding Jian saw Hu without Jin Hu's leisure time, drove the car directly to his father's company, arrived at the downstairs, stopped the car and went upstairs.
He walked into the office and saw his old man on the phone, so he sat down in front of the boss's desk.
"Tell everyone you can get something from."
Ding Jiantao listened to his father's words and recounted the events one by one.
"So young?" Ding Ming said with a glance at his son.
"Do you think he's just talking nonsense? Is he a scammer?"
"Just take it and you'll know," said Ding Ming: "You're in charge of this matter."
