Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 495 Negotiation is done

Since it was Wu Bingzhong who spoke, Sheng Xiping had to get it done even if his head was bowed.

So he immediately found the person who was leading the delivery team, Andre's men, and asked him to send a message to Andre and find an opportunity to come and meet.

Andre has been busy recently. He has left all the matters of exchanging goods to his subordinates.

With his money and people, he went to several big cities in the Far East, contacted and found military and political figures to protect him through connections, and then developed distributors in several cities.

Andre is a smart man. He knows that this kind of large-scale trade cannot be carried out by him alone, and he must find a bigger backer.

Today's Maozi is rotten from the root, and the upper-level officials are seriously corrupt. With the help of large sums of money and materials, Andre's network of relationships has further expanded.

This guy's ambitions are not small. After stabilizing the Far East, he also wants to develop westward.

Therefore, after Sheng Xiping sent the message, it took a week before he got a reply from Andre.

Andre sent an invitation letter to Sheng Xiping through the official government and asked him to come to Bu City for detailed discussions.

These days, the procedures for going to Maozi personally are quite cumbersome and the approval process is very strict. It can be said to be very difficult.

This is Comrade Sergei, from Khabarovsk, and this is Vishnyak, from Vladivostok.

Andre opened a new trading company on the riverside, which mainly wholesaled goods exchanged from the other side to small traders in the city.

Recently, due to border trade, people from other major cities in the Far East have also come here, so the Bu City is much more prosperous and lively than before.

Blavishensk is said to have a permanent population of 200,000, which is quite a big city in the Far East.

The company is very simple, just a few houses and warehouses, guarded by many people.

On January 27, Sheng Xiping, accompanied by Sun Jinggang and Wang Dongcheng, crossed the border to Bushi on the other side.

Sheng Xiping only knew simple conversations, and it was too troublesome for him to speak, so he had to translate and relay.

At a glance, one could tell that this person was probably from the military or some special organization.

Recently, Andre has had more money in his hands and has been sending a lot of industrial steel to the other side, such as stainless steel, hot-rolled steel plates, cold-drawn seamless steel pipes, etc.

Isn’t there an old saying in China, one hero has three gangs? I think our business also needs more people to participate. "

After all, the capital in his hands was limited, and he didn't know Sheng Xiping's true strength at the beginning, so he didn't dare to make too big a deal.

But through official invitation, it can be simplified a lot.

Even so, Sheng Xiping and the others spent a lot of effort to go through the customs clearance procedures with the help of Xu Guoxing and others.

Sheng Xiping laughed and stretched out his hand towards those people as he spoke.

It's just that the procedures for this thing are more complicated, and there is a risk of being targeted by the KGB.

Andre was afraid that Sheng Xiping would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained to him.

"Very good, very good, Andrei, how are you?" Sheng Xiping returned the warm hug and replied simply in Russian.

As soon as the steel arrived on the other side, it was robbed by those customers, and Sheng Xiping also earned several times more money than the scrap steel.

"Sheng, my dear friend, how are you doing?" When they met, Andre gave Sheng Xiping a big hug.

Andre initially chose scrap steel to trade with Sheng Xiping, mainly because the cost of scrap steel was low, almost equal to the cost of labor.

The driver responsible for picking up people explained to Sheng Xiping and others while driving.

But smiles are universal. When Sheng Xiping extended his right hand to the other party with a smile, those people also came forward to shake hands and hug Sheng Xiping.

He definitely couldn't host Sheng Xiping here, so Andre made a reservation at the best restaurant in the city.

These cities are all very close to the border, but border trade in other areas has not yet been opened. If these people want to make money through border trade, they can only come to Bu City to find a way.

So Andre didn't dare to be careless, so he simply acted as a matchmaker and introduced Ivanov to Sheng Xiping directly.

In fact, there are steel plants in Buenos Aires, which produce steel for construction and industrial use.

While the food was being served, Andre mentioned the replacement of steel with Sheng Xiping and Ivanov.

The driver quickly drove Sheng Xiping and the others to the best hotel in the city. Andre and several others had been waiting at the hotel for a long time.

The two hugged each other for a while, then separated, and then Andre began to introduce several people present to Sheng Xiping.

"This is Comrade Ivanov, from Komsomolsk. He can help you solve the problem you mentioned.

Andre had arranged for people to wait at the port in two Ladas in advance.

After the two parties introduced each other, they both sat down. Andre snapped his fingers, and the waiter from the restaurant came over and started serving the dishes according to Andre's instructions.

"Andre, I didn't misunderstand. Your friend is my friend. I think we will cooperate very happily."

"Sheng, they are all my friends, very good friends, trustworthy.

Khabarovsk was formerly known as Khabarovsk, and Vladivostok was commonly known as Vladivostok.

When he saw Sheng Xiping and others, he immediately got out of the car and came over to say hello, then invited Sheng Xiping and others into the car and drove towards the city.

There are Russian-style buildings on both sides of the street. Sun Jinggang and others looked out through the car windows and looked around curiously.

But special steel is not available in Buzhou, but Gongqingcheng specializes in production.

This Comrade Ivanov has a pair of blue eyes, sharp gaze, and a tall and tall figure.

They all want to cooperate with you and entrust me to help introduce you. "

As for how they discussed it, Andre didn't care. Anyway, he just wanted to earn some introduction fees from the process.

Amur Komsomolsk is the city born in Big Brother’s first five-year plan.

In order to build shipyards and aircraft manufacturing plants there, a group of Communist Youth League volunteers from Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Ukraine were sent there, and the city was established in 1932.

Therefore, the main industry there is military industry, including steel for building warships, steel for tanks, and even aircraft.

Sheng Xiping chatted with Ivanov for a while and got a general understanding of Komsomolsk.

However, they did not discuss the business directly. After all, this matter was a bit sensitive, so it was better to discuss it in private.

At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes, and everyone stopped talking and began to concentrate on tasting the dishes.

The Russian food in this restaurant is really good, and Andrei and others are very satisfied.

Sheng Xiping and the others couldn't tell whether the food was good or bad. Anyway, they occasionally tasted other flavors and found them quite fresh.

In such an occasion, how can we miss out on good wine?

This restaurant claims to be high-end vodka shipped from Moscow. Andrei waved his hand and brought several bottles directly. Each one of them is a wine vat, and when it comes to drinking, they are no match for ordinary people.

Fortunately, Sun Jinggang has also practiced in the army and has a good drinking capacity. So everyone drank this meal, which was quite enjoyable.

At the beginning, everyone was quite civilized. After drinking, they were talking and singing. The people in the restaurant were probably used to it and didn't care about it.

After the meal, Sheng Xiping became very close to several people, and even agreed on the cooperation content with them.

After taking a moment, Sheng Xiping thrust a piece of paper into Ivanov's hand.

There was a paragraph written in Russian on it, which meant that if Ivanov could promote the special steel business, Sheng Xiping could convert 5% of the profit into US dollars and deposit it into the bank account designated by Ivanov.

There's no way, it's too difficult to get special steel, and people won't take risks to cooperate without some blood.

After all the talking was done and the wine was almost drunk, Sheng Xiping and his party had to return to Heihe.

In fact, the transit procedures they went through allowed them to stay in Bu City for a few days, but Sheng Xiping had no such plan.

The environment in the Far East is harsh. It used to be a place where prisoners were exiled, and underground forces were rampant.

At present, the management here is chaotic and the security is poor. Sheng Xiping and the others are foreigners. They are too conspicuous and can easily be targeted.

Although Sun Jinggang and others are very skilled, and people like Sheng Xiping can also handle it a few times, after all, we are in a foreign country, and safety is the first priority.

So Sheng Xiping and the others did not wander around. Andre's subordinates still drove them to the port and then returned to Heihe.

Within two days, Ivanov followed the delivery truck and met Sheng Xiping in person. He also saw Sheng Xiping's warehouse with his own eyes. He immediately agreed to Sheng Xiping's conditions.

He will help and transport a large amount of special steel from Gongqingcheng.

Of course, the price of this thing is much more expensive than industrial steel.

Sheng Xiping and Andre exchanged steel materials, five boxes of liquor for one ton of stainless steel, and four boxes of liquor for other steel materials for one ton.

But there was nothing comparable to this special steel. Sheng Xiping gritted his teeth and agreed to exchange eight boxes of wine for one ton of special steel.

Other supplies are also calculated as liquor. Of course, the benefits promised by Sheng Xiping are still valid.

The two parties reached an agreement, and Ivanov promised to prepare the steel matter immediately after returning to Komsomolsk.

It was already the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, just a few days before the Chinese New Year. During the Spring Festival, border trade was suspended and would not resume until the sixteenth of the first lunar month of the new year.

So Sheng Xiping and Ivanov made an appointment, and the first batch of transactions was scheduled for the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Ivanov will also have to spend some time preparing for steel, transportation and other matters when he returns. He will set aside more than twenty days, which is enough.

In this way, Ivanov returned to the other side very satisfied, and then immediately set off back to Komsomolsk.

And Sheng Xiping also started to make arrangements for the New Year.

After this month of trade exchanges, there are not many goods left in the warehouse.

Of course, Sheng Xiping has already ordered a large amount of goods from elsewhere, and they will be shipped over after the year.

Moreover, there are still seven or eight days left for the year-end transaction, so this opportunity cannot be missed. Therefore, there are still many people left here.

After Sheng Xiping thought about it, he simply asked those who had wives to go home for the New Year, and those who didn't have wives to stay this year.

While waiting for the ice on the river to melt, trade will be suspended for a while, and then we can go home.

Everyone didn't have any opinions on this. As long as they had money to earn, they couldn't go home before anything else. As for the Chinese New Year, that was a trivial matter.

In order to allow everyone to stay and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, Sheng Xiping simply asked people to collect all the accounts during this period and distribute dividends in advance.

The trade here belongs to Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng's personal investment.

Although it is known as a trading company, in fact it does not keep the company's accounts, and the profits do not need to be turned over to Shencheng. It is equivalent to a branch with independent accounting.

When they first invested money, Sheng Xiping, Wu Yucheng, and Liu Yuhe took the majority. Chen Weiguo and others also invested more than 100,000. Even Sun Jinggang and others also invested money.

During this month, the retail sales made almost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan every day, and the total profit was almost 16.7 million yuan.

As for the large-scale trade, all the timber was transported back to the processing factory by Sheng Xiping, which required a discount to calculate the profit.

Most of the scrap steel is wholesaled for 6,780 yuan per ton, and the fertilizers are sold to the agricultural reclamation system for 450 to 500 yuan per ton. These profits are not small.

As for the later industrial steel products, the profits were even greater.

One ton of stainless steel costs nearly 10,000 yuan on the market, and wholesale to those merchants costs about 8,000 yuan. The cost is only five boxes of liquor.

You can make more money from bulk trading, with profits in the tens of millions. This money is simply making money.

Like Zhang Zhiqiang and others, they all benefited from Chen Weiguo, Zhang Zhijun and others. Even with salary plus bonuses, they could get nearly 100,000 yuan.

As for Sun Jinggang and others who have invested money, they can get hundreds of thousands or even two hundred thousand.

Chen Weiguo and others didn't come over. They invested money, so they could share some. Of course, the ones who earn the most are Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng.

When they heard that so much money had been distributed, everyone was so happy and stunned, especially Zhang Zhiqiang and others, they even cried with excitement.

"Brother Xiping, we are bound to follow you in this life. Whatever you tell us to do, we will do it without any hesitation.

I never dreamed that I would have so much money in this life. "

"Well, don't get excited yet. I have a few words to tell you all." Sheng Xiping looked around at the crowd, coughed heavily, and said.

"Our money comes so fast, you guys can earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in one go. I'm afraid you'll lose your money.

So I have to hammer out a few words, no matter how much money you earn, live your life honestly, and no one is allowed to blather.

Let me warn you, if anyone takes this money and goes out to eat, drink, whore and gamble, and let me know, I will kick him out and never want to follow me again. Do you understand? "

"I'm telling you, this is just the beginning.

In the coming year, I will think of ways to expand our business further west. We will work all the way to Moscow along the Siberian Railway. The money we will earn by then will be many times what we are now.

At that time, you were all veterans of the company, and I would definitely not treat you badly. Let’s make a fortune together. understand? "

At the beginning, Sheng Xiping just wanted to fulfill his brotherhood, earn some money with the others, and get some cheap wood along the way.

But after these days, Sheng Xiping's goal has also changed. In this era, why can't he take advantage of the trend and do something big?

When Sheng Xiping said this, everyone's eyes became firm.

"Brother, don't worry, we will definitely follow you and work hard, and no one will go out and act recklessly."

"What I'm saying now is pretty good, but I'm afraid that once I leave, you'll feel itchy. Anyway, I've left my words here for you to think about."
