"Tengyue Trading Company? Do you know anything about their background?"

He, Wu Yucheng, and two translators were drinking with Andrei and others at the Longjiang Hotel.

The two sides have been trading for so long that they have developed a tacit understanding. In fact, there is no need for Andrei and his men to come along; his subordinates can handle things perfectly well.

It's just that everyone hasn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to take this opportunity to get together.

"Come on, friends, let's drink to our great friendship!"

Once the food and drinks were served, Sheng Xiping poured everyone a full glass of wine, then raised his glass first to toast everyone present.

"Cheers. To friendship, cheers!" Andrei and the others were also in high spirits, raising their glasses in celebration. "Long live friendship!"

Everyone downed three cups of wine before sitting down to eat and chat.

"Andrei, how many tons of fertilizer were delivered today? How much do you have left?"

After chatting for a while to warm things up, it's time to get down to business.

"Twelve hundred tons of fertilizer were delivered today, and I still have a thousand tons in my riverside warehouse. Sheng, is there any problem?"

Andrei didn't understand why Sheng Xiping asked this, so he answered truthfully.

"Okay, then let's do it this way. Get the fertilizer you have here as soon as possible, and then we'll suspend fertilizer trading for this season."

Spring is just around the corner, and fertilizers are seasonal. If they sell slowly and the season is missed, they'll just be stuck with unsold stock.

"Not to mention the cost, the key is to store it carefully. If it gets damp and hardens, the loss will be too great," Sheng Xiping explained with a smile.

Upon hearing the translator's words, Andrei immediately understood and nodded quickly. "Okay, okay, no problem."

If you don't want to do fertilizer business, you can do steel, timber, or other businesses; as long as you make money, that's fine.

"Andrei, you don't need to worry about the fertilizer business being interrupted and your profits decreasing," Sheng Xiping smiled at Andrei and continued.

"Here's the thing, I've been commissioned by some organizations to purchase a large quantity of skim milk powder, polyvinyl chloride, and other raw materials from you. I wonder if you have any ideas on how to do this?"

In addition, there are the large trucks and Lada cars that we talked about before the Lunar New Year.

Or perhaps large agricultural machinery, bulldozers, excavators, and other construction equipment. Does anyone have any suggestions?

When Sheng Xiping passed through the provincial capital, he originally only wanted to visit Chen Ruiqing's family.

Since Chen Feng started high school, his studies have become more demanding, and he no longer has time to go to the forest farm.

Sheng Xiping missed the Chen family very much, and since it was the first month of the lunar calendar, he decided to stop by and pay his respects to Chen Ruiqing and his wife.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing Sheng Xiping, Chen Ruiqing refused to let him leave and insisted that he stay in the provincial capital for a few more days.

Then, Chen Ruiqing organized a dinner party, inviting leaders from many units in the province to join him.

During the dinner, when everyone learned that Sheng Xiping had been very successful in border trade in Heihe last year, someone immediately brought it up.

They wanted Sheng Xiping's help to bring back some industrial raw materials, or agricultural machinery, trucks, and the like.

Sheng Xiping didn't dare to make any big promises. He only said that after he returned to Heihe, he would ask his clients if they had the ability to do the business.

The same was true in Harbin. When Feng Shuyan's uncle and his family saw Sheng Xiping, they were exceptionally enthusiastic and insisted on keeping him in Harbin for two days.

He also invited many prominent figures from Harbin to have a meal with Sheng Xiping.

As a result, before Sheng Xiping even arrived in Heihe, he already had a lot of favors owed to him—no, he should be called a major client.

That's why he took the initiative to invite everyone to dinner today.

These products are not like steel or wood; they will probably be difficult to handle. We will have to discuss them with Andrei and Ivanov in person.

After hearing the translator's words, Andrei and the others exchanged glances.

Then, Andrei tentatively asked Ivanov, "Ivanov, what do you think?"

Ivanov pondered for a moment, then nodded. "It can be done, but it will take time. I'll contact someone as soon as I get back."

Upon receiving Ivanov's reply, Sheng Xiping finally felt relieved. At the same time, he also gained some confidence in Wu Bingzhong and the others' plan to replace the machine tool.

The things he just mentioned can be considered the second test for Ivanov. If Ivanov can obtain these industrial raw materials and machinery, then machine tools should not be a big problem.

"Come, let me toast everyone. It's been a pleasure working with you all." Sheng Xiping raised his glass again, toasting everyone present.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Amid cheers from the crowd, the cooperation between the two parties deepened to a new level.

While Sheng Xiping and his group were drinking and chatting, the warehouse and dock were extremely busy.

It wasn't until almost dark that Andrei's men came to find them, saying that the goods in exchange had been loaded onto the trucks and they were about to head back.

After Andrei and the others had eaten and drunk their fill, they went up one by one to hug and say goodbye to Sheng Xiping.

Taking this opportunity, Sheng Xiping whispered to Ivanov that the money would be transferred to the account designated by Ivanov within five days of the completion of this transaction.

Ivanov was delighted and hugged Sheng Xiping tightly, saying, "Sheng, we are best friends."

Trust me, I'll get you what you need. And maybe I'll have a surprise for you next time we meet.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Sheng Xiping patted Ivanov on the back and smiled.

The group of men followed their subordinates and left, while Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng led the translator back to the warehouse base.

At this time, there were still quite a few people gathered around the warehouse. As darkness fell, lights were turned on at the entrance and in the yard, but this did not hinder their business negotiations.
