Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Chapter 925

"If we want to uproot Vasily, we have to start with his most profitable steel. You have helped me collect so much steel during this period, so you should have some reputation in Prida."

Vladimir smiled. Thanks to Meng Haisheng, Vladimir's reputation in Prida has become more and more famous since the two began to cooperate.

Especially because he facilitated the aircraft carrier transaction and earned more foreign exchange for Prida, Vladimir's name was known to everyone in Prida's senior management.

And his purchase of venison and beef also earned him a lot of good reputation among the people.

"Now that Pulida sells steel at 800 yuan per ton domestically, is the sales volume not very good?"

"Yes, some merchants have too much steel in their hands, and they even sell it at 700 yuan, resulting in a large backlog of steel in steel mills."

"The price of steel is really too cheap. With so much backlog of steel, the steel mills have little working capital left, and the workers' wages have not been paid for two months."

"The workers in the steel mills work so hard, but they can't earn wages. Many people have lost their jobs and returned home."

"And the steel mills have also reduced their production. If the steel mills also sell at 700 yuan per ton, removing the people Due to labor and loss, they have almost no profit. "

"If I buy steel at 800 yuan per ton, the steel mill should be happy."

"Of course, with this price, the steel mill can at least make a profit of 100 yuan per ton, which is already a lot for them."

"Vladimir, how about we work together to monopolize the steel in Prida with money?"

"I will buy steel from you at 800 yuan per ton. I will take as much as you have, and there is no upper limit. As for how much you get per ton from Prida, that's your ability."

Meng Haisheng's words cheered up Vladimir.

Some time ago, in order to enable the aircraft carrier to trade, Meng Haisheng bought some steel through him, which was only tens of thousands of tons, and he made a small profit.

That transaction was just a brick to break Vasily's monopoly on the steel market.

Now Meng Haisheng has begun to purchase a large amount of steel to completely break Vasily's monopoly.

Even if his profit is a little less, he can still make a lot of money.

"Haisheng, you have to think about this matter carefully. We in Pulida produce coal and iron ore. If you let go of steel, it will not be as little as 100,000 tons or 200,000 tons."

"Of course I know. Before calling you, I have thought it over carefully. This time I will use money to knock Vasily down."

This is the first time since Meng Haisheng was reborn that he has used so much money to do something. He thought Vasily should feel lucky. Such treatment is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

"Okay, Haisheng, I believe you. Now I will contact various steel mills to see how much steel they have in their warehouses. I will send you tens of thousands of tons first to solve their urgent needs."

"There are so many steels in the warehouse. The steel mills must want to sell some of them quickly to pay the workers first. Otherwise, if things continue like this, let alone developing the economy, the people will probably starve to death."

After Vladimir said this, Meng Haisheng suddenly remembered something.

Another major event happened in the 1990s, that is, the wave of workers being laid off.

The country is developing too fast, and some enterprises cannot keep up with the pace of economic development, becoming a drag on national development.

These enterprises can be reorganized if they are lucky, but those with bad luck can only lay off all workers and close down.

Originally, everyone thought that they had a stable job, but no one thought that one day, their stable job would be broken.

The first batch of workers were laid off in 1993, but the number was not large.

In the following years, more and more workers were laid off, and in some years, there were even tens of millions of people laid off. This continued until 2001.

Meng Haisheng wondered if he could expand the sewing machine factory and the machinery factory.

The amount of steel used in these two factories is not small. If the scale can be expanded, from purchasing steel to exporting sewing machines, a virtuous cycle can be formed, and the funds in his hands can be quickly earned.

And it is estimated that it will take several months to deal with Vasily and completely break his monopoly in Prida.

If there is a virtuous cycle of capital chain that continuously provides him with sufficient funds, he believes that it won't take long before he can completely exhaust Vasily.

In this way, not only can he avenge himself, but he can also solve the problem of some laid-off workers.

Meng Haisheng took several days to study the contract issues and transportation details with Lin Jinyan and Vladimir.

He had handled several batches of steel before, and these things were easy to operate.

Vasily, who was far away in Prida, hadn't received any news from Meng Haisheng for a while.He thought Meng Haisheng had been scared out of his wits when he encountered pirates at sea, so he hid in the capital and did not take any action.

Vasily was very proud. He was quite capable to force Meng Haisheng to this point.

"Mr. Vasily, Yuri has something urgent to see you about."

The secretary outside the office came over to report with a low head.

"Let him in."

Vasily played with a golden seal in his hand, thinking that Yuri came to him for some trivial matters.

"Mr. Vasily, Meng Haisheng is back again."

Perhaps because he walked too fast, Yuri was a little out of breath when he spoke, and his whole state was not very good.

Vasily, who had a calm face just now, was also obviously stunned when he heard the three words Meng Haisheng.

"What did you say? Meng Haisheng is back. Didn't he just return to China? How come he's back so soon?"

"Meng Haisheng didn't come back in person. He asked Vladimir to help him buy 100,000 tons of steel."

The seal in Vasily's hand fell on the table with a snap. He asked anxiously, "How much did you pay for it?"

"800."

"Damn it, is Meng Haisheng crazy? 800 a ton of good steel? In the past, 800 could only buy scrap steel."

Vassily stood up from the chair, looking like he wanted to cut Meng Haisheng into pieces.

He still had dozens of tons of steel mills in his hands. If Meng Haisheng could get steel at 800 a ton, he would lose a lot of money.

Vassily felt like a big stone was pressing on his chest, and he was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

"Meng Haisheng is undoubtedly disrupting our domestic steel market by pushing the price down so low. Sir, what should we do next? We can't let Meng Haisheng keep buying at such a low price."

"Call the bosses of the steel mills now and tell them not to sell steel at such a low price. Just say it's my order. Anyone who dares to sell at a low price is against me, Vasily."

"I'll go right away."

Yuri was delighted and immediately went to make a phone call.

With Vasily's intervention, Meng Haisheng was able to buy a ton of steel at such a low price.
