Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 1076 Intimidation

"You're dreaming. You're planning to sell us a bunch of random equipment as used industrial machines?

We are not the ones who will take advantage of you. Please send a telegram to Chief Engineer Gao about this matter.

Once the other party confirms that they have indeed delivered the industrial mother machine, the transaction will be carried out.

If the deal fails, just let the Huo family seize the goods from him. Even if we have to rob them, we must grab them."

"Yes"

Hearing Chen Changan's words, Xiao Yang's heart tightened, and then he turned around to send a telegram to Chief Engineer Gao.

Chen Changan also took the risk. He didn't care about the impact or not. If the price could be negotiated, it would be negotiated. If not, he would deduct the price first and talk about it later.

Chen Changan only had so much foreign exchange, and a bunch of second-hand junk equipment. He still wanted to sell it at a high price? He was dreaming.

After receiving Chen Changan's telegram, Chief Engineer Gao, who was far away in Hong Kong Island, gave a wry smile and handed the telegram to Mr. Huo.

In Chief Engineer Gao's impression, Chen Changan has always been gentle and elegant.

Logically speaking, this amount of money may be a large amount of foreign exchange for others and they cannot withdraw it at all.

As for Chen Changan, whether he asks his superiors or borrows the foreign exchange reserves of the automobile factory first, the money will definitely be in place.

He didn't expect that Chen Changan would give him such an order.

After seeing the order, Mr. Huo frowned and remained silent.

As for seizing ships or equipment, there is no problem.

He could find any excuse to seize the goods, and there would be no problem even if he persuaded the governor to directly arrange for these ships to be inspected.

But after the seizure, how to transport this batch of goods to the old city became a big problem.

It seems that I will have to negotiate the price with the other party in the end.

If the two parties cannot reach an agreement, Mr. Huo is prepared to pay for it himself to complete the transaction.

"Chief Engineer Gao, it's okay, things won't get to that point.

I have the money, so I'll consider it as my contribution to the country's development."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chief Engineer Gao was immediately moved. He shook Mr. Huo's hand and thanked him repeatedly.

"Mr. Huo, thank you so much."

"This is as it should be. Director Chen and I have been working together for many years.

The car factory has made a lot of money from its products, so it is only right that it should set aside a portion of it to support the country.

Only when there are more factories like the car factory can the country become stronger. Then my business can grow bigger."

Xiujuan stood aside and watched coldly.

As Chen Changan's spy in Hong Kong Island, she will tell Chen Changan everything she saw today.

Two days later, Mr. Huo and his group came to the dock again.

As a larger cargo ship than the previous one arrived at the port, the group began to inspect the cargo again.

The others had no idea what these devices were used for and all relied on Chief Engineer Gao to check them.

Looking at Chief Engineer Gao's excited expression, Mr. Huo already had the answer in his mind.

"Chief Engineer Gao, is this the equipment Director Chen needs?"

"Yes, yes. This batch of goods is industrial mother machines, and there are more of them than I expected.

With this batch of equipment, our country's industrial capacity will usher in a qualitative leap."

“Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to look after this batch of equipment, and leave the rest of the negotiations to me.

No matter what happens, don't say anything and I will try to get the price as low as possible.

Even if the money is not enough, I will make up the rest, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I believe Mr. Huo."

Then Mr. Huo turned around and looked at the crew members who had been on board before.

After two days of rest, the ferocious captain was no longer around.

He has not been idle these two days and has reported the situation back to the company.

The company is still hesitant about selling industrial mother machines to the mainland.

The ban is there, and once the news leaks out, they will likely face huge fines and sanctions. The risks involved are simply too great.

Of course, the risk is proportional to the reward. As long as the profit is large enough, the transaction can still continue.

Without the bearded captain who posed a threat to his life, and with the company's support behind him, he was full of confidence when facing the Huo family this time.

"We agreed before that one shipment would be worth 40 million US dollars, but now we have two shipments. If you want them, you must buy them as a package. 80 million, not a penny less.

Furthermore, you will also be responsible for the freight previously paid to Captain Beard, as well as the freight for this ship."

Although Chief Engineer Gao had guessed the result, he didn't expect that the other party would even have to pay for the shipping costs themselves.

You have to know that the total amount of foreign exchange applied for by Director Zou is only 35 million. This will probably cause the Huo family to bleed heavily.

"One shipload of cargo is what we need, and the other is just a pile of industrial waste. You dare to ask for this price? Are you crazy about money?

I won't argue with you anymore. We don't want the industrial waste. Let's just stick to the price we agreed on before, 40 million. I want this shipload of cargo.

I will not charge you any warehouse fees for the industrial waste that has been transported to the warehouse.

After unloading, just load up your pile of garbage and go back."

"Mr. Huo, you should know better than me what the industrial waste you mentioned is.

I don't deny that the mainland may have such equipment, but it definitely won't be a lot.

They should all be concentrated in some important factories, such as the factory that produces that pickup truck.

I have to say that the pickup truck you produced is really good. Although its engine is somewhat backward, the price is very cheap.

However, this is our company's requirement, not my personal requirement. If you can't meet it, I can only say that this transaction is regrettable."

Mr. Huo smiled confidently.

He had seen from the first day that the crew member was a coward.

When facing the bearded captain, they just believed whatever he said and didn't dare to talk back.

Originally, he was still considering whether to use some tough measures at the critical moment.

Considering that the other party is a foreigner and the company behind him may have cooperation with the mainland in the future, they are ready to give up using tough measures.

Just as the company behind the other party gave him confidence, Chen Changan's telegram also gave Mr. Huo confidence.

"I think you may still not know much about our Hong Kong Island.

Here, it is difficult to expand your business if you don’t have some underworld background.

This dock is our Huo family’s property, and every worker here is a member of our Huo family.

Now that the goods have arrived at our dock, there is naturally no possibility of him leaving.

I don't know if you've ever seen the Hell's Angels or the Mafia.

If you have seen it, you can also see if there is any gap between ours and those organizations."

As Mr. Huo finished speaking, the workers on the dock and the people patrolling not far away gradually came over.

When the crew member heard the name "Hell's Angels", he was shocked at first, and then he saw a lot of people surrounding him.

Several of them had already put their hands into their shirts, and it was obvious what was inside.

Even though he was trembling with fear, he still insisted.

"This, this, this is the company's rule. If I violate the rule, I will be hunted down when I return.

Those people are scarier than the Hell's Angels."
