Chapter 1454: A Bolt from the Blue (Supplement)
Ye Chenghe was very proud, he was an adult too!
"Uncle San, I will go to the Magic City with you on behalf of my father to see the world. If you have anything to discuss, feel free to discuss it with me."
Ye Yaodong really wanted to slap him, just to see how capable he was.
Ye Yaohua also said: "Dongzi, I'll trouble you to take care of these two when the time comes. If they don't obey, just beat them up."
Ye Yaopeng also nodded, "Yes, if you don't obey, you can beat me."
After saying that, he looked at them.
"When you're out, you have to listen to your uncle in everything, okay? If you don't listen, I'll break your legs when I get back, and you won't be able to go anywhere in the future."
"I understand, Dad. We will definitely listen to Uncle San." Ye Chengjiang responded.
Ye Chenghe also nodded immediately.
"Okay, I'll bring a stick with me when the time comes."
The two brothers immediately grinned.
Ye Yaodong stood up and said, "Let's go to the shipyard. I happen to be free, so I'll go with you to the shipyard and check my progress."
"Okay, since it's not so hot in the morning, let's go early and come back before lunch."
"Why don't you bring the money for now? Anyway, it will take several trips back and forth before you can decide."
"Let's go take a look and talk first. I don't know what the price is now."
The three brothers walked out together.
The two brothers Ye Chengjiang also went to find their father Ye, and they also had to go to work.
Ye Yaodong originally just went there to check on the progress as usual. After all, he had been doing so for the past six months.
He just didn't expect that there would be a big prize waiting for him this time.
They hadn't even entered yet, but as soon as they walked to the door, Director Shen came out to greet them with a smile on his face, and then enthusiastically took them to the office. This behavior surprised him.
There was no such treatment in the past.
Ye Yaodong laughed as he walked along, "Did anything good happen to Director Shen today?"
"No, there is no good news. I am almost dying of worry."
Director Shen's smile disappeared, and he looked very worried, and his expression changed very quickly.
"Alas, if you didn't come, I would have looked for you in the next two days."
Ye Yaodong's heart skipped a beat. This sudden change in expression gave him a bad feeling.
"What are you worried about? What do you have to worry about? The factory is bustling with activity and the profits are not bad. My brother came here today to book a fishing boat, so he came to you to learn about the current market conditions first."
Director Shen waved his hands, looking troubled. "We'll talk about their ordering of the fishing boat later. Let's talk about our business first. Our business is more important."
The bad feeling became stronger.
"what's up?"
"That's right. As you know, the market price has been rising in recent years, and the price of raw materials has also been rising. You book fishing boats every year, so you should have a deep understanding of this."
Ye Yaodong frowned immediately. He probably knew what Director Shen was going to say.
"The factory does have a stockpile of goods, but they are constantly being consumed and then replenished."
"You should also know that 50-yuan bills and -yuan bills are popular in the market now."
Ye Yaodong nodded seriously without saying anything, ready to let Director Shen finish speaking first.
The other two brothers saw that they all looked unhappy, so they held back and said nothing, just listening quietly.
"Now that the denomination of currency has increased, it also means that the price of raw materials has increased more sharply. Do you know that the price of steel materials has increased several times compared with the past two years?"
"The price went up again last month. I have no choice but to consider the benefits of the factory."
Ye Yaodong looked unhappy, "What do you mean?"
Director Shen opened the drawer, took out two neatly stacked documents and placed them in front of him.
"I'm really sorry. Of the three orders signed at the end of last year, two have not yet been ordered and prepared for delivery. Originally, the delivery date was supposed to be at the end of next year or the middle of the year after. Now the price of materials has risen too much. After a meeting and discussion, the factory decided that the orders for delivery after New Year's Day 1989 can no longer be placed at the original price."
“This has already been signed…”
The duck I booked flew away and I paid back the money. Now I tell him that the duck is gone?
"Yeah, I don't want to do this either, but if we go ahead and prepare the materials according to the original order, we will lose at least 1/3. With the large-scale currency promotion this year, the price per ton of these steel materials has risen again. Not only that, but some mechanical parts and equipment have also increased in price..."
Director Shen kept talking about his difficulties, and his attitude was very sincere and he explained very seriously.
"I also hope you can understand our difficulties. The first ship currently in production was originally scheduled to be delivered before the February New Year, and the price was also going to increase. However, because we prepared materials in advance last year, we also purchased a round of materials on demand before the New Year..."
He explained and explained again, adding that of the 45-meter ship that was being produced, only some instruments and equipment had not yet arrived, so of course the price had also increased.
But they had a meeting and since this order had already been produced more than halfway, they would not raise the price and would just treat it as compensation for the order cancellation.
"We will still complete the original delivery date of this ship as usual. I will treat the remaining two order deposits as payment for the next stage of that ship. What do you think?"
"It's not a big deal. I've already placed the order. I placed the order last year. Now you tell me that the material price has gone up and you won't build my boat?"
Ye Yaodong was angry and depressed. "When you made the reservation, you should have thought about the increase in material prices. Why did I pay the deposit? Of course, it was to prepare materials for you in advance. Now you tell me that the material prices have increased and you can't do it, then what's the point of my paying the deposit in advance?"
"It's not that I can do whatever I want. We are a state-owned unit and we have discussed it in a meeting. I can't do anything if you don't accept it. We have made concessions. And it's not just your two ships. You have to pay extra for ships that are delivered after New Year's Day, otherwise the deposit will be returned."
Director Shen's attitude was relatively gentle just now, but now he speaks in a tough tone.
Damn, state-owned enterprises are so awesome. They speak with confidence. They raise prices if they say so, and they don’t do anything if they say not to do it.
Ye Yaodong was furious.
It’s a seller’s market.
I originally wanted to order three boats at once, set the price there, and then I would make a profit.
Now I don’t have any say at all. What’s the point of signing a contract? Isn’t it up to others to have the final say?
“If other fishing boats don’t agree to the price increase, then they won’t do it?”
"Correct."
Director Shen pointed to two large piles of documents on the table.
"There are orders here, some have been processed, and some are waiting to be processed. If some people accept the price increase, we will re-sign the contract, make up the price difference, and continue production; if they do not accept the price increase, the original deposit will be returned in full and they will find another company. We will not force them."
"How many ships disagree? How big are they?"
"Five or six, about 45 or meters long. There's also one meters long like yours. The difference in compensation is different. The bigger the boat, the more compensation. Some people naturally can't accept it. I'm telling the truth."
Director Shen added: "You can consider whether to pay the difference or return it."
"How much do I need to make up?"
“One third of the total price.”
"Shit, that ship worth 300,000 yuan must be compensated with 100,000 yuan, right?"
"Yes, this is the current price. If possible, we will prepare materials and order equipment in advance. If the price increases later, the price will be set there. If we decide later, it may be more than this price."
Damn, no wonder some people don’t accept it, the difference is too big, it’s so unfair!
"So you made a profit. We didn't raise the price for the ship you delivered before the New Year..."
"Brother! I have already paid you a deposit of 30 yuan. The original deposit was 10 yuan for one boat, and I will pay more according to the subsequent production steps... Do you have the nerve to say that you didn't raise the price for me now?"
"Well, we prepare materials according to the production schedule. The next two ships have not been scheduled yet, so of course we don't have materials, so we need to increase the price later. The materials for this ship were prepared in advance, but some equipment purchases in the middle were purchased according to the progress and demand. Now we are responsible for this part, which can be regarded as compensation."
"I still think it's too rip-off. I paid a deposit in advance so you could prepare the materials."
"But we have to schedule the orders so that we can prepare the materials."
Ye Yaodong questioned, "Then what's the point of my deposit?"
"The delivery date is scheduled in advance. We don't accept your orders that are scheduled for two or three years in the future..."
"Then you accepted it, didn't you? You just saw that I paid a lot and was willing to pay. Now you took the money first, and told me six months later that it couldn't be done. You misappropriated my deposit and asked me to pay more?"
Director Shen was speechless. "Then why don't you consider it? The 20 deposit can be returned to you, but..."
"But don't I still have to continue paying part of the current boat payment? What's the difference between you refunding and not refunding? It's all in your hands. Do you know how much I can earn from my 20 yuan in bank interest? The interest rate for half a year is 7-8 percentage points."
"Well... we'll give up this ship..."
"I've already ordered this! I'll give you 30 yuan to prepare the materials, which is enough to pay for the whole boat."
After Director Shen said this, he felt that he was indeed in the wrong.
He thought for a moment and said, "How about this? The factory has an abandoned 43-meter ship, which is halfway through its construction at the same time as your ship."
"If you want, I can sign this ship to you at the price on the original order, and you can pay 1/3 more. But you just mentioned the half-year interest of 20. I can negotiate for you in a meeting to directly deduct the price you need to pay, based on the current half-year interest rate of the bank."
hey~
Ye Yaodong's heart moved and he seriously considered the pros and cons.
This seems like a good thing!
This is equivalent to bringing forward the delivery date of the second ship by one year, so that it can be delivered at the same time as the first ship.
By the way, can you give him the interest on the 20 yuan deposit paid in advance half a year and directly deduct it from the required compensation? Then he can pay less when the time comes?
The sooner he gets the ship, the more value he can create, and the compensation is worthwhile, after all, it's given to him a year in advance.
This boat was booked directly to him, but what about the other boats that others don’t want?
Qian Jin, who was tanned by the scorching sun of 2027, plunged back into the wave of 1977.
Accompanying him was a material purchase and sales certificate that could connect to the space-time mall in 2027.
This certificate, which must be used in conjunction with gold, allowed him to trade old items from 77 for items from 27, and then trade new items from 27.
Thus, the golden age of Qian Jin has arrived...
