Chapter 107 Do You Want to Resell Cars? "Congratulations on the Chinese New Year and Asking for a Monthly Ticket"
"What's the matter with him? It's too early for New Year's greetings." Fan Wubing didn't like Qiu Baohua very much. If it wasn't for the fact that he relied on him to make a fortune, he really didn't want to have anything to do with him. It is said that it is mainly sold in the mainland market, and the emphasis on it has naturally decreased.
And what troubled Fan Wubing the most was that Qiu Baohua's background had not been cleared. If he engaged in cultural relics smuggling, wouldn't that be creating trouble for him? Now that I am making money every day, there is no need to think about that matter again.
However, he still had to ask him if he wanted to come to him for something. It must be a more important thing to call at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as Fan Wubing made a call, he heard Qiu Baohua excitedly say, "Haha, Mr. Fan! I finally waited for you to come back!"
Fan Wubing frowned and said, "President Qiu, don't gossip, what's the matter? I know your time is precious, you can't afford to waste it!"
Qiu Baohua smiled embarrassingly, and then said mysteriously, "This time there is another good business to take care of you."
"You want to reverse the money again?" Fan Wubing turned over and sat up, glanced at his mother, and then asked carefully, covering the microphone, "I tell you, this matter is not reliable! Don't say I didn't warn you, It’s okay to do remittance once in a while, but it will go wrong after a long time! You don’t want to live in prison for the rest of your life, do you?”
Qiu Baohua on the opposite side immediately responded. "How can it be! I'm not a fool, this time we're going to play with the earth. Since it's a good thing, of course I thought of pulling you in."
"What's the matter?" Fan Wubing asked with a frown, he really didn't want to mess around with Qiu Baohua anymore.
"Several of our big bosses have united and are planning to dump imported cars! Do you think this business can make money?" Qiu Baohua's voice was a little excited.
When Fan Wubing heard this, he was also shocked. He didn't mean how much money he could make here, but was frightened by the other party's appetite.
In terms of making money, the profit of imported cars must be several hundred percent. Let alone now, even ten years from now, dumping cars will be a super profitable business. The question is what year is it now? Now is the beginning of 1985, even if you bring the car back upside down, you have to find a legal license plate to sell it!
It is natural to make money by dumping imported cars, but it also needs to be scaled. Waiting for a few cars is not enough to toss the cost. However, the right to approve hundreds of thousands of imported cars is not something that ordinary people can do.
"What's going on here?" Fan Wubing's interest aroused Qiu Baohua's interest.
Therefore, Qiu Baohua explained the reason to Fan Wubing.
Since Deng Gong's southern tour in 1984, the higher authorities have decided to open up 14 coastal cities, and Hainan, which is adjacent to Hong Kong and Shenzhen, has naturally become a key area for opening up.
At that time, the leaders of the Hainan administrative region were so excited that they could not sleep at night, thinking that the time had come for Hainan's economic development. However, if Hainan Island is to develop, it must have primitive accumulation. What should it rely on? By the center? It's important, but not enough. Rely on foreign aid? impossible.
Finally, everyone thought of a quick way. It's just playing with straw boats and borrowing arrows.
The so-called grass boat borrowing arrows is to turn the special policies of the central government for Hainan into real money. In fact, as early as 1983, the State Council once approved and forwarded a document, "Discussion Minutes on Speeding up the Development and Construction of Hainan Island", which pointed out. Hainan administrative region can according to need. The import of industrial and agricultural production materials is approved for production and construction; local foreign exchange can be used. Import certain consumer goods (including goods whose import and export are controlled by the state) that are in short supply in the Hainan market.
However, the minutes clearly stipulate that the above-mentioned import and export materials and commodities are limited to use and sale within the Hainan administrative region, and shall not be resold outside the administrative region.
Everyone consciously ignored the following paragraphs of the text lightly.
In fact, in Shenzhen at that time, there were many companies that made money by importing goods controlled by the state. In order to make more use of policies quickly and complete primitive accumulation, the leaders of Hainan naturally thought of automobiles. Compared with imported small household appliances and office equipment, it is undoubtedly the most lucrative and the most popular place in the Mainland market. A heavyweight commodity.
But after all, this matter still has to bear a lot of risk. It can be said that it is a chestnut from the fire. So the leaders of Hainan decided to do it in a limited way, import about 10,000 cars, and strive to earn 200 million yuan. Startup capital to spend.
It is said that there is no impenetrable wall, how can such a big event not cause storms?
Hainan Island, which has been solitary and lonely for a hundred years, has suddenly become a hot spot for turmoil. Sensitive businessmen from all over China rush there with their wallets in their hands, and the situation quickly becomes out of hand. Throughout the summer, almost everyone on Hainan Island was talking about cars. Wherever you go to a tea house, restaurant, hotel, shop, office, factory, school, newspaper office, or even a kindergarten or nursery, you will hear a word that makes you dizzy, that is, the car.
"This matter has been hot for more than half a year, and you just remembered that the yellow flowers and vegetables are cold!" Fan Wubing couldn't help sighing when he heard the news, hating himself for missing another good opportunity to make money.
"That's not to say, in fact, the good times have just begun." Qiu Baohua explained.
In summer, a batch of imported cars will come to the island, and the entire Haikou city and inside and outside will be turned into parking lots.
Imported cars can only be sold on the island, but there are no alternatives. According to the regulations, if they are lost outside the island, they must be punished. Of course, the penalty method is generally a fine. With the acquiescence of the leaders of the Hainan administrative region and the active cooperation of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, a car only needs to pay a fine of 4,000 to 5,000 yuan before it can issue a certificate, and then it will be shipped out of the island in a grandiose manner, and sold to the mainland.
in the middle. Corruption, bribery, bribery, arbitrage, all criminal activities are carried out openly in the sun.
Qiu Baohua said. "In half a year, Hainan has signed a total of nearly 90,000 car import approval documents, ordered more than 70,000 cars, and has issued more than 50,000 letters of credit. The total amount of imports is almost 300 million U.S. dollars. In September The large number of imported cars in Hainan has aroused the attention of the above. The State Council sent people to investigate, and the materials reported by the Hainan administrative region government are quite different from the actual situation. First, all the cars imported in Hainan are sold on the island (all car tickets They are all stamped with the words "Only for use on the island" and "Not allowed to leave the island". This is a fact). Second, the number of vehicles that have arrived so far is less than 15,000 (this is also a fact, but there is no mention in the submitted materials. And the tens of thousands of cars that have already been shipped and are heading towards Hainan through the waves). Third, Hainan’s management of imported materials is very strict. No one is allowed to leave the island, and those who violate it will be punished.”
"Hey hey hey——" Fan Wubing sneered after hearing this, and thought that Hainan deserved to be on the cusp of the storm, and he was so strategic in his work and speech, no wonder how many people fell for the position of Hainan.
Fan Wubing could almost imagine that at the same time that the administrative district government reported this material, thousands of imported cars were being unloaded continuously at the port of Haikou City. Of course, Fan Wubing's guess must be correct. In fact, within one month of the State Council's investigation into Hainan's imported cars in September, Hainan approved at least 10,000 more cars to import. In November, the Hainan administrative region still stated in a telegram to the Special Administrative Region Office of the State Council that so far, all imported cars on Hainan Island have been sold on the island.
Then cars are not such small things as diamonds. Everyone can't notice. Thousands of people import and leave the island, but people all over the world treat it as nothing. This was too rampant. By the end of the year, the Special Region Office of the State Council no longer believed in Hainan's report.
"Our big bosses have already received the news that the leaders of Hainan will be punished for this. The time for us to make money has come!" Qiu Baohua said to Fan Wubing.
"How do you say that?" Fan Wubing felt a little strange, since the higher authorities have started to thoroughly investigate the incident of importing cars in Hainan, how could there be a chance to make money?
But Qiu Baohua said excitedly, "Our big boss's backstage is very strong! Very powerful! How could it be possible for just a few leaders in Hainan to have such courage! To tell you the truth, those few are no more than It’s just a scapegoat! I can’t tell you too much about the specifics, but in a word, now a large number of cars are coming to the island, and these approvals are available, and they can be sold in the mainland! We just want money now, a lot of money! But you can’t pass through the public mouth! Otherwise, if the amount is too large, it will cause trouble! Even if you have a few hundred million now, you can eat it! If you change hands, you will get a profit of hundreds of percent!”
Hundreds of millions! Fan Wubing began to think about whether he would also get a share of it. Even if the channel expenses were removed, his remaining profit would definitely be more than 100%. 200 million, earn 200 million. This temptation is really too great, it is more than ten times bigger than the profit of reverse remittance a while ago?
In fact, this kind of behavior is neither illegal nor criminal. It just takes advantage of the lack of the system to take advantage of a loophole, but this loophole can cultivate several billionaires at once. billionaire.
But this kind of influence is very bad. Once the gate is opened, the situation becomes out of hand. Once you get an approval document, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan by reselling a car. People in the whole Hainan Island fell into a madness, everyone competed for approval, and everyone resold cars. In the first half of 1984, Hainan imported just over 2,000 cars. In July, the district government approved the import of over 10,000 cars, 36 times higher than the monthly average in the first half of the year. In just half a year, nearly 900 companies appeared on the island, and all of them went straight to the car. Even the army participated in the big operation of transporting vehicles out of the island. The navy used warships to replace all the vehicles with military license plates in the name of deployment.
Although Fan Wubing didn't know who Qiu Baohua's backstage was, there was no doubt that he was able to steer the fishing boat steadily in such a big event, and only showed his claws at the last moment, taking away the biggest piece of fat. People's background is quite strong, following him into a stock, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
At this time, Fan Wubing has basically figured it out. Although the gimmick made in Hainan earlier was big, it was just a smoke bomb. The number of imported cars sold on the island to the mainland was only a few thousand, and the real big players were behind. Sometimes there is a scapegoat in the front, and a secret position in the back, taking the opportunity to enter the mainland market, and the real risk is minimized.
No wonder Qiu Baohua's bosses are only doing it now, because they have already chosen a scapegoat!
"Brother Qiu, how much will it cost?" Now that he is fat, Fan Wubing will certainly not miss this opportunity. Growing up in this era of rising heroes, it is a bastard to have money and not make money.
"I reckon, it shouldn't be a problem for you to spend 100 million, right?" Qiu Baohua knew a little bit about Fan Wubing's background, and he knew that he had a lot of industries that made a lot of money, especially the Jianlibao factory. A cash cow, not to mention that he is still selling high-tech equipment such as computers to American companies recently.
"Can you have more?" Fan Wubing asked.
Qiu Baohua felt that it was a bit unexpected. Although he knew that Fan Wubing was rich, he didn't expect that he would not even pay attention to 100 million yuan. He was taken aback for a while before replying, "Mr. Fan, this is a bit beyond my expectation. Why don't you wait and let me report to the boss?"
"Then hurry up! My money will be removed anytime!" Fan Wubing urged.
Qiu Baohua repeatedly agreed, and sure enough, within 20 minutes, he called again and said to Fan Wubing, "Mr. Fan, our big boss has agreed, and is very happy to cooperate with such a powerful boss like you. If you have If we can get 200 million US dollars to invest in, then our profit will be about 300 million US dollars, so we don’t have much to say. We have to make a lot of effort in this matter, and we need to manage it up and down. The big boss said, how much How much or little, I will give you a profit of 100 million U.S. dollars."
"Okay, then it's settled! Within three days, I will transfer the money to your account!" Fan Wubing immediately agreed.
"Don't worry, the main thing is to turn around and launder the money! The money that is due to you, even the principal and interest, will be returned to your account before the Spring Festival!" Qiu Baohua was worried about Fan Wubing. , I emphasized again.
"Deal." Fan Wubing hung up the phone.
Seeing Zhang Mei and Fan Ting and Fan Kang staring at him, he noticed that his voice was a little louder, so Fan Wubing said shyly, "Hey, I'm sorry, someone gave a red envelope during the Spring Festival , the red envelope is a bit bigger, so I'm a little excited."
"How big a red envelope can make you happy like this?" Fan Ting felt a little skeptical. She felt that her brother had always had a big appetite, and he didn't pay attention to thousands of dollars. There must be something strange about this.
"One hundred million!" Fan Wubing replied calmly.
"Huh?" All three of them were startled.
"U.S. dollar!" Seeing this, Fan Wubing added another sentence.
