The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

Chapter 144

After Zhou Chong finished talking about the price issue briefly and clearly, he took the phone and walked into the office.

"Brother Lin, Uncle San wants to talk to you."

Lin Ming immediately took the phone: "Hello, Uncle San."

"Brother Lin, how are you these days?" Zhou Mingzong's voice was like a spring breeze.

"Thanks to Uncle San, it's not bad." Lin Ming smiled.

"It's probably not just good, right?"

Zhou Mingzong said, "Except for my old man and my eldest brother, I rarely admire a person, and you are the third one."

After a pause, Zhou Mingzong said, "How are the sizes of your sea cucumber seedlings growing?"

"Not bad, but time is a bit tight, quadrupling is not enough." Lin Ming said.

"With the current price, you still want to quadruple it? Really... Let alone quadruple it, even if you just double it, you can make a lot of money this time!" Zhou Mingzong smiled bitterly.

Lin Ming pondered for a moment and asked, "Uncle, 10,000 per catty of dried sea cucumbers, is there any problem?"

"Now the dried sea cucumbers are priced but not sold. Many distributors are contacting me. We still need to discuss how high the price can be set."

Zhou Mingzong added, "But I think 10,000 is no problem, and it can even be higher."

Although most of the dried sea cucumbers on the market are now hoarded in Phoenix Marine Industry.

But the market has invisible protection.

Sea cucumbers are not a necessity, they can be eaten or not.

If Lin Ming asks for an exorbitant price, those distributors and customers will definitely not agree.

10,000 is the most ideal price at the moment.

"How about this."

Lin Ming thought about it and said, "Uncle San, we will give you the price of 9,800 per catty, and you can sell it at 10,000 per catty, okay?"

Zhou Mingzong was stunned for a moment.

Then he said, "How can that be? I think there are still many people who want it at 10,000 per catty now. Are you planning to let me make a profit of 200 per catty?"

"I can't let Uncle San work for nothing." Lin Ming said with a smile.

Zhou Mingzong's tone became obviously serious: "Lin Ming, do you think that I, Zhou Mingzong, am obsessed with money? Do you know how much loss I have saved because of your reminder this time?"

"I don't need to make a profit from you at all. Those channel dealers alone have to give me a lot of good things."

"And now the government has come out and clarified the subsidies and preferential treatment for sea cucumber farmers. I, Zhou Mingzong, can take advantage of this opportunity to win the title of the "largest sea cucumber farmer" in Daxing City!"

"From this, do you think I still need you to give me a profit of 200 yuan per catty?"

Zhou Mingzong said so.

But Lin Ming didn't think so.

From the purchase of these dried sea cucumbers and sea cucumber seedlings to the sale, all went through Zhou Mingzong's channels.

Zhou Mingzong must also need to make arrangements. Does he have to pay all the money himself?

"Let's not talk about this for now. Third uncle, you should prepare here and bring back all the sea cucumber seedlings in Yushan Village." Lin Ming changed the subject.

"Okay, I'll arrange a car to go there now and bring those sea cucumber seedlings back overnight."

Hang up the phone with Zhou Mingzong.

Lin Ming said to everyone: "Just do as I said, 200 yuan per kilogram, no objection?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Only Zhou Chong said: "Brother Lin, is this... necessary?"

"The purpose of cooperation is win-win, we can't let Third Uncle lose money, right?" Lin Ming said.

"If he doesn't lose money this time, it's equivalent to making money." Zhou Chong muttered.

Lin Ming knew that this guy was just being pretentious.

That's his Third Uncle.

It was Zhou Chong who contacted Zhou Mingzong before and after, and it was definitely impossible for Zhou Chong to lose face.

But then again.

Phoenix Ocean Industry now has 900,000 kilograms of dried sea cucumbers.

With a 200 yuan discount per kilogram, Zhou Mingzong can make a difference of 180 million!

He only made 30 million from breeding dried sea cucumbers last year.

Even if Phoenix Marine leaks a little, it will be enough for Zhou Mingzong's six years of income.

...

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

The time has come to November 5th.

Everyone gathered in the Phoenix Marine office again.

The difference is.

This time they gathered to "divide the spoils"!

In just one week, all the sea cucumber seedlings and dried sea cucumbers have been sold.

The speed is amazing!

According to Zhou Mingzong, this is just what they have been digested domestically, and no one has gone abroad.

Export abroad.

Otherwise, it won't even take a week.

When the market demand is huge, the rules must be changed.

Pay first, then get the goods!

The payment for these dried sea cucumbers and sea cucumber seedlings has already been credited to Phoenix Marine.

"Lin Chu, please calculate it." Lin Ming sat on the sofa.

"Okay."

Lin Chu took out the account sheet that had been prepared long ago.

"Bosses, let me briefly talk about it here."

"The original purchase price of sea cucumber seedlings was 60 yuan per catty, the total quantity was 2.4 million catties, and the total cost was 144 million."

"When it was sold, it was a total of 6 million catties, at a price of 1,000 per catty, the total price was 6 billion."

The time was a little earlier, and those sea cucumber seedlings did not double as Yang Yan said.

Lin Chu continued, "900,000 jin of dried sea cucumbers, the average purchase price per jin is 2,500 yuan, the selling price is 9,800 yuan, the total cost is 2.25 billion, and the total profit is 8.82 billion."

"There are 2,466 sea cucumber greenhouses in total, and the labor and material costs are about 200,000 each. The land lease is 70,000 yuan per mu, and the total cost adds up to 665 million."

"The money for the sea area and sea cucumber greenhouses requisitioned by Xingchen Group before has been fully recorded, totaling 21.43 billion."

Even though Lin Chu had asked the Finance Department to calculate it many times in advance, she still felt excited when she talked about these numbers.

She continued, "In other words, the total cost of Phoenix Ocean this time is 3.31 billion, the total profit is 36.25 billion, and the net profit is... 32.94 billion!"

"Hiss!!!"

Everyone took a breath at this moment.

Using a cost of more than 3 billion, in exchange for a profit of 33 billion!

Looking around the world, how many companies can do this?

If they hadn't experienced it themselves, they wouldn't even dare to think about it!

"Let's talk about personal profits." Lin Ming said with a smile.

Everyone's heart tightened immediately.

Personal profits are what everyone cares about most.

"According to the shareholding ratio."

"Mr. Lin's personal profit this time is about 11.7 billion."

"Mr. Zhou and Mr. Hong's personal profits are about 5.83 billion."

"Mr. Han and Mr. Xiang's personal profits are about 3.5 billion."
