"Now that we have figured out the profit point, let's start from this point and check the relationship between these people and Wang Dahai."
Lu Chuan had an intuition that Wang Dahai's death must be related to These things are related to the huge interests involved behind it.
Although Qiangsheng Group does not do rough processing of grain, he himself cannot bear it because it involves some finishing processing.
I just called home on the way and asked about grain finishing in detail, as well as the twists and turns involved.
In fact, the deputy section chief of the property department of the Grain Bureau and Lu Chuan just briefly talked about the logical relationship, but the actual operation is obviously much more complicated.
On the one hand, it is the sale of used grain. The sale of used grain does not mean that the grain depot can sell it whenever it wants and buy it whenever it wants. There are many relevant regulations.
For example, it is necessary to determine whether the supply of food in the market is tight, and another example is to store food for a certain period of time.
The storage of grain is not just about storing the grain. This process requires storage, which requires a lot of expenses. Therefore, the sale of grain also depends on the price difference between the storage time and the storage cost during the period. Can the profits cover the storage costs?
In addition, the approval of policies requires the approval of superiors before sales can be carried out, which is also the most important part.
Although the Mawang Town Grain Depot is half public and half private and is responsible for its own profits and losses, it is also responsible for the task of storing grain.
Therefore, no one can move these stored grains. What others can move is mainly commercial grain.
A few years ago, there were people who had the idea of stockpiling grain, and each of them was either sentenced or shot, but commercial grain is different.
The ultimate goal of commercial grain is to enter the market for circulation and reserve, purchase it at a lower price, and reserve it when the supply of grain is sufficient.
In the process of storing these grains, relatively complete management methods can be used to make them have better quality. At the same time, when the grain supply is tight, they can be sold at a higher price and the profit will be in the middle. This price difference.
So the next important direction of Wang Zhaokai's investigation is focused on the commodity alliance merchants who have had transactions with the Mawang Town Grain Depot.
Investigation in this area is not particularly difficult.
The Mawang Town Grain Depot has relatively complete information. You can check how much the grain has been sold over the years, and who the purchaser is. There are corresponding accounts that can be checked.
It is very clear that we can find some companies and individuals above that have had transactions with Mawang Town Grain Depot, etc.
Wang Zhaokai and others sent people here to find out the relevant transactions clearly in less than a day. All large transactions were investigated clearly. In the past few years, there have been grain incidents with the Mawang Town Grain Depot. The transactions were mainly conducted by four grain reserve companies.
While investigating the entire transaction, Wang Zhaokai and the others soon discovered some abnormal information.
Three of these four commercial grain companies have had large-scale transactions with the Mawang Town Grain Depot, and they have done so for eight consecutive years.
Only one company purchased some commercial grain from the Mawang Town Grain Depot last year, but the amount purchased was relatively small, generally only about 100 tons a year. The quantity of 100 tons is definitely not small in terms of numbers alone, but when it comes to grain sales, this number is very small.
Grain sales can only increase in bulk, at least hundreds of thousands of tons or even millions of tons.
For example, the annual grain sales volume of the other three commercial grain companies that have had large transactions in the Mawang Town Grain Depot and Mawang Town are around one million tons.
This amount basically occupies 1/10 of the grain reserves in the Mawang Town grain depot.
The three companies together account for 30% of the total annual reserves of the Mawang Town Grain Depot, which is already a very large amount.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the fact that the grain depot sells grain. The Grain Bureau did not find anything, they just asked the Dynasty to change. What they found a little strange was the number of transactions between these three companies with the Mawang Town Grain Depot every year. .
They usually buy old grain from the grain depot in Mawang Town in July and August every year.
Judging from the market price at that time, the three companies basically purchased grain at a price difference of 5% to one cent higher than the market price, and this 5% to one cent is The source of profit for the entire Mawang Town Grain Depot.
One million tons of grain converted into kilograms is 2 billion kilograms. If the price difference per kilogram is 5 cents to one cent, then the profit is 10 million to 20 million!
This is just a commercial grain sales company. The profits the company brings to the Mawang Town Grain Depot, if the three companies are added together, the annual profits will be between 30 million and 60 million.
A grain depot has a net profit of 30 million to 60 million every year, which is quite considerable.
This is also the fundamental reason why there is currently 30 million in cash lying on the accounts of the Mawang Town Grain Depot, because in addition to the profits turned over to the superiors over the years. In addition to the benefits provided to employees, in addition to improving the warehouse management methods of the grain depot itself, it also purchases and sells equipment. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, spend. After removing all of them, there are still 30 million left.
But apart from this, Wang Zhaokai and the others found something strange. After purchasing the old grain from the Mawang Town grain depot in July and August, these three grain-selling companies would sell about 1 million in October. tons of grain.
"I have already asked about the general situation at the grain depot, because October is the time for new grain collection and storage every year. These three companies are the most important sources of new grain for the Mawang Town grain depot. It is also because In this way, the Mawang Town Grain Depot has a large amount of grain sales and income every year, which can ensure that the stock of the grain depot is revitalized."
Wang Zhaokai said.
On the surface, there is basically nothing suspicious about this. Since these three commercial grain companies purchased large quantities of used grain from the Mawang Town Grain Depot and provided each other with a price difference of 5 cents to one cent. , brought considerable profits to the Mawang Town Grain Depot, and it is normal for people to sell new grain every autumn.
But is it really normal?
Lu Chuan, who was a little confused for a while, made two phone calls to inquire about the specific situation of the purchase of commercial grain.
Only after asking this question did I know that it was not just about selling and buying.
Let’s not talk about the sale of grain. Whether it is the sale of stored grain or used grain, it generally follows the market price. This is also the reason why the Mawang Town Grain Depot makes money.
The key is the acquisition of new grains. When new grains are purchased every year, basic pricing must be based on market prices. (End of this chapter)
