Chapter 510 Nobody Wants the Goods

The Longjiang Hotel, built in cooperation with the Finance Bureau by Sheng Xiping, is now the only high-end hotel in the city.

Merchants from all over the country basically stayed there, and the hotel made a fortune.

Which of these organizations in the entire city wouldn't be envious?

Everyone says Xu Guoxing has good judgment; he took the initiative to cooperate with Sheng Xiping and made the right bet—he got a golden goose.

Sheng Xiping's Tengyue Trading Company was making a fortune every day, earning money faster than the wind could blow it away.

It's fair to say that countless people in the city are envious of the profits from border trade.

If it weren't for Wu Bingzhong's connections, even with Xu Guoxing, it might not have been able to stop those with ulterior motives from reaching out.

Many people want to get on Tengyue Company's good side, hoping to make a lot of money by collaborating on any project.

So when they heard Sheng Xiping's words, Director He and Director Shan's eyes lit up, and they were so happy they almost jumped for joy.

These young men were all former soldiers, and they worked incredibly fast and quickly, cleaning up the empty room in no time.

You can call me Brother Sheng, or Boss Sheng, it doesn't matter. From now on, we're brothers working together, so call me whatever you like.

Starting tomorrow, I'll arrange for someone to guide you. During the day, we'll mainly be doing trade with the Russians, and at night we'll be learning foreign languages, primarily Russian. We might also learn some English in the future.

Who doesn't have relatives and friends? They work in the city, but they have quite a few relatives in the countryside.

Sheng Xiping immediately understood; these must be the veterans his brother-in-law had mentioned.

By evening, Wang Dongcheng had tallied up the accounts. The amount of fertilizer delivered today was slightly less than yesterday, but the rest was about the same.

Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng did not go to the riverbank, but went straight back to the warehouse base.

A fire was lit in the stove, and after the kang (heated brick bed) was warm, everyone brought over their luggage and settled in. Thus, they became employees of Tengyue Company.

"Okay, that's good. Then you can settle down here for now."

This delighted Director He and Director Shan, who quickly raised their glasses to toast Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng.

So Geng Deyu led everyone to clean the house and start a fire.

"Okay, then it's settled. I estimate the car will be here in a few days."

With this transportation company around, Director He and Director Shan have to do their best to protect Sheng Xiping's business.

Whether the transportation company makes money or not is irrelevant; the main thing is to use the opportunity to win people over.

Then, the leader stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the leader, we are all rural soldiers who were discharged last winter. It's difficult to arrange jobs for us, so we can only temporarily return to our villages."

Anyone who tries to cause trouble, especially those thugs, will be taken inside.

No need to be an expert in any particular field; just being able to have simple conversations and know how to buy and sell things is enough.

Sheng Xiping found these young men quite admirable; their energy and drive were truly remarkable.

As soon as I entered, Xiao Zhang, who was in charge of guarding the warehouse, said that more than a dozen young men had come looking for Sheng Xiping and were staying inside.

Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this, "Don't call me 'leader,' I'm not from any government agency, it's not appropriate to call me 'leader.'"

These young men stood tall and bowed to Sheng Xiping, saying in unison, "Yes."

Sheng Xiping had great confidence in Ivanov and estimated that the matter would be resolved soon.

With this opportunity, not only could they make some money at the bureau, but they could also help out their relatives. Wouldn't that be great? The two immediately expressed their willingness to cooperate with Sheng Xiping.

"President Sheng, don't worry about troubling the aunties and the others, we can handle it."

"Hello, Mr. Sheng." Everyone greeted him in unison.

Sheng Xiping told Aunt Yang and the others to clean out a room, warm up the kang (a heated brick bed), and make room for the new young men.

The two quickly entered the room, and the people who were sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) all stood up.

Everyone responded and then sat down again.

The young man leading the group was named Geng Deyu. He was a squad leader before he retired from the army. Although these people were not his subordinates, they all listened to him.

"I am Sheng Xiping. You were introduced by Commander Zhou, right?" Sheng Xiping asked.

After a while, I'll recover and then spend my evenings learning foreign languages ​​with a translator.

Old He and his team are in charge of transportation, we're in charge of security. With the two of us protecting you, the transportation company can just sit back and wait to make money.

We'll leave a few dozen trucks for the transportation company to use, and sell the rest.

With the cooperation agreement reached, everyone had no more reservations and ate and drank as usual.

In the past few days, everyone has been very busy because border trade has just started, and the foreign language learning has been delayed for a few days.

"Oh, Mr. Sheng, do we really need to find someone else? Our two units are fine."

Since everything was obtained through the exchange of supplies, the cost wouldn't be too high. As long as we break even, that's enough. We don't need anything else.

These people are different at first glance; their posture and spirit clearly indicate that they have served in the military.

Commander Zhou sent us a telegram saying that the leadership was short-handed, so we came.

In the end, everyone was quite drunk and staggered out of the hotel.

Sheng Xiping thought for a moment and arranged accommodations for everyone. There were quite a few rooms in this place, and each room had a kang (heated brick bed) facing each other, so it could accommodate quite a few people.

The main problem is that Andrei and his group accumulated too many things during the Chinese New Year period, and it will probably take another two or three days to transport them all over.

After that, the trade volume will gradually stabilize, since it will take some time for Andrei and his team to sell their products.

Before going to bed, Sheng Xiping received a call from Wu Bingzhong, who said that the steel had passed the tests and all the data showed that it was high-quality special steel.

Wu Bingzhong meant that there was an urgent shortage of such supplies in China, and he wanted Sheng Xiping to exchange for as many as possible.
