Material Empire - v2 Chapter 728
“parking!”
A policeman stood in the middle of the road and stopped the convoy.
Bai Wanxin stepped on the brake, leaned out his car window, and asked with a smile on his face: “Comrade Police, I have a business license and I’m not overloaded. I always run this line. The Zhang team and the Liu team all know me, Bai. You are new here, and drink together someday. “
“I don’t know Zhang and Liu.” The police officer turned black, pointed his finger at an open space next to him, and said, “Go all the cars over there, don’t block your way.”
“Don’t know Zhang team?” Bai Wanxin stunned, “Aren’t you the Kangtai traffic police team?”
“No more nonsense, drive the car over!” The policeman was annoyed, and waved his hand. “You, and the car behind you, all drove over, stopped, got out and waited for inspection.”
Bai Wanxin was puzzled in his heart, but he didn’t dare to ask any more. He could only obediently drive the car into the open space next to the police. This is an abandoned freight yard, enough to stop hundreds of large trucks. When Bai Wanxin drove the car into the freight yard, he saw that some vehicles were parked in front, and a group of people in uniforms were examining what was on the car.
After the driver saw Bai Wanxin’s car entering the yard, they followed each other and drove the car in, parked in a few rows, and then got out of the car and waited for inspection as the police said.
“What’s on the car?” A staff member stepped forward and asked Bai Wanxin.
“Rebar,” Bai Wanxin replied.
“Who is the owner?” The staff member asked again.
“It’s me.” Lu Dashuang replied with a raised hand. Somehow, his heart was beating so hard that he suddenly had an ominous premonition when he thought of the large order that came to him inexplicably.
“Certificate, test report.” The staff extended a hand to him and said.
“Certificate, test report?” Lu Da’s eyes narrowed. He has been in the steel business for so many years, no matter what certification he has issued, these steels are all inferior strip steel. The word qualified does not depend on it at all.
“Comrade, we used to transport steel products. We have never issued a certificate of qualification. Our steel products … are definitely qualified, or can customers accept it?” Lu Dashuang pretended to be silly, wondering if there was anything. Room for manoeuvre.
“The State Economic and Trade Commission document states that in order to ensure the quality of construction materials and the safety of the people, a large-scale inspection of steel quality will be carried out across the country from now on. All steel products that do not meet the quality requirements will be temporarily detained. No flow into the construction market. For the steels that failed to provide the quality inspection report, the on-site inspection method was adopted. If the inspection is qualified, they can be released, and the unqualified ones will be treated as temporary deductions. “The staff said blankly and said to Lu Dashuang like an endorsement.
“When was this stipulated, why haven’t I heard of it?” Lu Dashuang was anxious. What is the quality of this batch of steel, can he still not know? You don’t need to do any complicated on-site inspection, just hit two steels against each other and you can see at a glance. Can’t break right away. Even if it is good, as far as there are obvious cracks, scars and the like, it is even more needless to say.
“This is the document just issued. But the notice on the management and elimination of the production of inferior steel products was issued as early as the previous year. Would you, as a steel plant operator, know that?” The staff asked coldly.
“I …” Can Lu Dashuang say that he doesn’t know, there are so many small steel plants in Xingchuan County, who doesn’t know that the country has such a policy. It’s just that everyone believes in the doctrine of policies and countermeasures, and never puts these policies in their eyes. But things are different now. Nearly 800 tons of steel fell into the hands of inspectors. This is simply the death of Lu Dashuang.
“Comrade, I don’t know this document. Our customers are in a hurry to use this batch of steel. Otherwise, I’ll send the steel first. I will send you the certificate of conformity again, how about it? I promise not to take it as an example. As for this time, the How much is the penalty, you have the final say. “Lu Dashuang said desperately and winked at the staff member, he felt that this suggestion was very obvious. Whenever the other party intends, he will definitely agree with him a place for “certificate delivery”. As for whether the certificate or something else will be sent in the past, it is a matter of natural knowledge.
I never thought that the other party did not deal with Lu Dashuang’s stubble at all. He pointed with his finger not far from the front and said, “Go there and go through the formalities. The steel is completely unloaded. How many tons are there? The staff will issue a receipt for you. At present, the state has not yet determined the final disposal method for these inferior steel products. We are only temporarily withholding it. Whether it is eventually confiscated or ordered to be reworked, it is necessary to wait for national policies. “
“But … we signed the contract with the customer, and one day later, the customer had to claim for compensation.” Lu Dashuang argued.
The staff stared and said, “Your customer signed a contract with you to purchase unqualified steel? Or can you bring your customer over, as long as he dares to say that they want unqualified steel …”
“How about that?” Lu Dashuang thought there was a glimmer of hope.
“We detained him directly,” the staff said flatly.
“Stop …” Lu Dashuang was dumbfounded. The contract he signed with the client was in the briefcase he brought with him, and of course he remembered that others had clearly put forward quality requirements in the contract. Such things as ground steel cannot be on the table, and the supply and marketing sides have no idea, but it is impossible to directly declare in the contract that they can accept inferior products. The staff member asked him to call the customer to the scene to confront him.
“You are illegal! You are …” Lu Dashuang yelled. Things worth more than 1 million were detained, and it was anxious to rest on anyone. The most important thing is that if this batch of steel is detained, those steels that have not yet been shipped will definitely not be shipped. The steel cannot be shipped to Dalun Wharf, and he cannot get the payment. The customer’s down payment in advance was only 1.5 million, and his consumption in purchasing scrap and smelting had already spent more than 3 million. Who can make up this shortfall?
Some time ago, Lu Dashuang demolished the old house at home and rebuilt a small four-storey western-style house. The savings of these years have been spent seven or eighty-eight, so part of the cost of this advance came from the county seat. Usury. The supply of goods to customers can be further discussed, but the interest rate on usury loans can not be delayed for a day. There are black forces behind the lenders, and Lu Dashuang can’t beat them.
“What’s the matter? Do you have any reason to sell land and steel?” The staff instructed angrily. Obviously, Lu Dashuang’s response did not exceed his expectations, and the owner of the detained steel would not say a few words. ?
“Everyone has come to evaluate the reasoning. They have never said that they need to check any evidence. It is not a deliberate embarrassment to attack us now. Is it easy for us to do business? Does the government not let us live? While Lu Dashuang continued to squint, he used his eyes to find other cargo owners and truck drivers in the yard, hoping that they could drum up with themselves and put a little pressure on the other side.
What he didn’t expect was that the other people in the yard did not respond to him at all, but instead cast a bunch of emotionally complex eyes on him. There was sympathy, compassion, and sympathy in the eyes, and more Helpless. Prior to Lu Dashuang, everyone had already made a noise, and the worst ones had been taken away by the police for tea. The rest did not want to drink free tea, so they could only accept fate in despair.
After a toss, Lu Dashuang finally knew that he had run into stubble. It is not the law enforcement officers of Kangtai County or the people of Yanning Province who set up cards to inspect steel here. Bai Wanxin actually saw a few familiar faces among those law enforcement officials, but these people were obviously in the position of playing soy sauce. The real talkers were a bunch of officials who did not know where they came from.
Lu Dashuang stood on the side of the road and took a closer look. It was found that these law enforcement officers only checked the vehicles that transported steel, and they ignored any other vehicles. In other words, he came for himself, which reminded him of a rumor about the Central Working Group a month ago.
It turns out that the Central Working Group is not waiting for everyone. What they planned was not only to shut down their small steel mills, but also to make them sink into debt and no longer have the ability to turn around … Thinking of this, Lu Dashuang suddenly felt a shudder.
All the detained drivers and owners were arranged to stay temporarily in a nearby guest house. Their communication tools were seized as soon as they got off the bus, so that they had no chance to report to their families and colleagues. For the whole three days, Lu Dashuang watched helplessly as the steel strips of cars were stopped on the highway ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ One after another, the owners have begged, cried, Threat and then fall into despair.
Lu Dashuang knew some of these people, knowing that they also exhausted their family property and were working day and night to produce those unexpected orders. No matter how stupid Lu Da’s head is, he can imagine that these orders are clearly the bait that the work team gave himself. It’s ridiculous that the big house hasn’t noticed at all, and many colleagues are joyously talking about the dream of how to build a house and buy a car after completing this order.
Yes, the cost of bait put by others is very high, and Lu Dashuang alone has up to 1.5 million prepayments. But there is no need to worry, these advance payments have long been paid to the scrap supplier, and the goods detained by themselves can be worth millions if they are returned to the furnace as scrap. If the whole thing is a trap, then from the customer to the scrap supplier, it must be the other person, even …
usury!
A more terrible idea flashed in Lu Dashuang’s mind. Are those loans in the county town also included by the Central Working Group? He thought about the process of borrowing carefully, the more suspicious he became.
Who is this fierce? Is this still the style of the government? (To be continued)
