Chapter Eighty-Three: Won't Your Conscience Hurt?
Ding Quankun is currently appointed by Lin Ziran as the head of Tsingshan Petroleum Company, but in addition to managing oil affairs, his core position is actually the accountant of Lin Ziran's gang.
Money-minded!
This will only listen to him say one by one: "The ammunition money cannot be less, Hongxiang Commercial Bank has always paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with one hand, and if they don't give money, they will directly pull back what we ordered and sell it to others!" ”
"It's hard to move out of this salary, there is not much after this deduction, and all of it is only enough for the brothers to be chic a few times, if you don't detain it or send it less, the brothers below are afraid that they will make trouble!"
"We also ordered two five-pound guns in front, and this order can be moved back!"
"There is also a delay in the exploration of the oil field, but this will affect the progress of Well No. 5!"
Lin Ziran interjected at this time: "Those two five-catty guns are intended to be combined with the original four artillery pieces to form an artillery company, and the order cannot be postponed, and the survey, exploitation and refining work of oil fields and refineries cannot be stopped, and must be supplied first!" ”
"Kerosene is the hen that lays our golden eggs, and we can't do the stupid thing of killing chickens and taking eggs!"
Hearing Lin Ziran say this, Ding Quankun was embarrassed, and after a long time, he held back a sentence: "In this case, there will be no place to move money." ”
Lin Ziran sighed when he heard this!
"In this case, then let Boss Wang be wronged for a while first, and then give it to him when he has more leniency!"
"Well, remember, when the time comes, give him a percentage of interest, and you can't let others say that I, Lin Ziran, treats the merchant harshly!"
Ding Quankun said: "Is this a daily interest or a monthly interest?" ”
Lin Ziran stared at him after hearing this: "Don't just wronged good people, Boss Wang is not a loan shark!" ”
Ding Quankun said: "Then this is the monthly interest?" ”
Lin Ziran was silent!
Ding Quankun saw that Lin Ziran didn't speak, so he knew that he had made a mistake, and after pondering for a few tenths of a second, Ding Quankun tried to say in a low voice: "New year? ”
Lin Ziran nodded slightly this time.
Ding Quankun said: "This ...... It's not good, the bank in the state city lends money, and if there is collateral, the annual interest rate is generally 20%! ”
Lin Ziran still didn't speak, and Ding Quankun reacted quickly, and quickly picked up his own words and said: "Oh, yes, Boss Wang is a good person, and he is not one of those loan sharks, the two can't be confused, and it's normal to have an annual interest rate!" ”
Lin Ziran smiled: The child can be taught!
At this moment, if Boss Wang hears the conversation between these two people, I am afraid that a lot of swear words will come out, and he will say bitterly: Can you not be so shameless?
Won't your conscience hurt when you do this?
It's a pity that Boss Wang can't hear it, even if he hears it and says a lot of things, it is estimated that it will not make Lin Ziran and Ding Quankun change their minds, and they will take out the money to Boss Wang now.
Who let Lin Ziran now that they are poor jingles!
Although the income of Tsingshan Petroleum Company has been rising steadily in the past few months, and there is military expenditure and military supplies from the headquarters of the Third Division, it cannot stand Lin Ziran's continuous expansion of the army.
This army with guns and cannons is a big gold eater, and no amount of money is enough to fill it.
A few months ago, there were only two or three hundred people under Lin Ziran's command, but now, it has officially broken through the 1,000 mark and reached the scale of 1,000 people.
The cost of maintaining such a 1,000-person Qingshan Patrol Battalion is not ordinary.
Even if you don't count the purchase of guns, all kinds of military supplies, and the war expenses for going north to fight, it's just that raising so many people on weekdays and letting them conduct daily training will cost more than 10,000 yuan a month.
As for Tsingshan Petroleum Company, the current monthly profit is only more than 10,000 Hengyuan.
Not to mention the need to purchase all kinds of military supplies, especially guns and ammunition, which are tens of thousands of dollars at every turn.
Can't make ends meet, that's the current situation of the Qingshan Patrol Camp!
In this regard, Lin Ziran also has no good way, after all, there is only so much money, and he can't conjure up money out of thin air.
The only way is to continue to let Tsingshan Petroleum expand production.
But oil companies also need a lot of money to expand their production.
Oil doesn't come out on its own, it costs money to drill wells.
At present, two mechanical wells have been successfully drilled in the Qingshan Oilfield, and there is also one original artificial well, but only the second well has a relatively high production, and the total output of the three wells is about 40 barrels per day.
As for the No. 4 and No. 5 wells, the progress of the No. 4 well is one degree faster, but it is only a few tens of meters deep, even if everything goes well, there is still a distance from the oil production, as for the No. 5 well, it is just a few days before the construction has begun.
Now Lin Ziran is counting on the No. 4 and No. 5 wells to produce a large amount of oil in the future.
Not only is it troublesome to extract oil, but it is also troublesome to expand the capacity of refineries.
Because the extracted oil is useless, it has to be refined kerosene before it can be sold, and now refining kerosene is also a veritable asset-heavy project.
It is piled up by relying on a large number of mechanical equipment.
The continuous purchase of these machinery and equipment also costs a lot of money.
According to Lin Ziran's own estimates, in the next two months, the funds on hand will not change much, even if there is an increase, but it will not be too big.
If you want to have a significant increase, you have to look at two months later.
At that time, if the production capacity of well No. 4 or No. 5 is sufficient, and the capacity of the refinery is also greatly increased in two months, the current financial dilemma can be changed.
As for now, it's natural to tighten your belt and get by!
Even in order to save money, he has suspended the recruitment of soldiers now, and the current thousand soldiers are already difficult to maintain, and he will not be able to support him if he continues to recruit soldiers.
At present, Lin Ziran is planning to train the hundreds of recruits he has recruited in the past month or so, so that they can form an army and form a preliminary combat strength before considering expanding the army.
As long as the current thousand people are trained, then it is enough for him Lin Ziran to feel at ease.
A force of 1,000 people is naturally nothing in the huge Nanhai Prefecture, even in Luo'an County and Guang'an County.
Not to mention that it is too far, it is the front line of Chongguangcheng dozens of kilometers away to the north, and the total number of troops gathered in Luo'an and Guang'an is 40,000 or 50,000.
However, it is still possible to ensure the safety of Tsingshan Petroleum Company only as a threatening force.
In the early stage, these 1,000 people were trained and formed into combat effectiveness.
And this is much more difficult than just recruiting!
