Chapter 381 Old Wife and Young Husband, Song Liqun
After deciding on the solution, Minister Xun and Shen Zhengying immediately finalized the list of overseas Chinese who could cooperate.
On the one hand, in order to avoid any surprises, Minister Xun asked everyone to go to the exhibition to inquire about prices in the next few days;
On the other hand, he used his connections to register a recycling company for Gu Sinian.
At the exhibition, seeing the dark circles under the eyes of the Chinese delegation, those who live a normal life became more convinced that they were right to raise prices.
With their confidence greatly increased, they were no longer satisfied with a price increase of 10% or 20%. Soon, the basic prices of all stalls that the Chinese people had inquired about began to double.
Obviously, they are no longer satisfied with the price increase and have switched to open robbery.
The Chinese delegation was just as they had expected. Everyone was in a very tense state of mind and they even quarreled from time to time in the meeting room. It was obvious that they were being pushed into a corner.
The number of booths they frequently inquired about was also gradually decreasing. In the end, only 7 production lines were still being inquired about, and the others seemed to have been abandoned.
Not only did they go there every day, they also tried to place orders several times. However, due to internal disagreements, they would argue in the meeting room and then give up on signing the orders.
People in the United States are very disappointed about this. After all, the price has doubled now. If the Chinese can buy it, it would be like selling the obsolete garbage production line at a brand new price, making a lot of money!
Those who live a simple life are very happy.
The more anxious the Chinese delegation became, the more it showed that they had no other way to get the equipment, and the seven types of equipment that they paid special attention to were the production lines they had to buy this time.
In order to verify this idea, they bribed the hotel staff where the Chinese delegation was staying, and secretly took photos of the meeting when the Chinese delegation was not paying attention.
After the photos were developed, they immediately contacted the Chinese American collaborators to confirm the content of the photos.
After translation, they determined that these seven types of equipment were on the list of equipment that the Chinese delegation was determined to purchase at any cost.
Moreover, the meeting unanimously decided that they were going to sign the contract tomorrow!
Seeing this content, people who live a simple life instantly get excited!
Thinking he had the Chinese delegation under control, he immediately approached the head of the American Chamber of Commerce and demanded that the price of these seven types of equipment be doubled.
The people from the American Chamber of Commerce were a little hesitant. At this price, they could buy a whole new production line. What if the Chinese really don't buy it?
Those who lived a carefree life did not want to give up the opportunity to cheat China again, so they tried their best to persuade them.
"Don't worry about this at all. This is our seller's market now and we have absolute control over the initiative.
As long as your customs inspection is strict and prevents them from transporting equipment privately, the Chinese delegation will have to accept the price no matter what it is! "
The people at the American Chamber of Commerce are still a little hesitant. After all, if they act now, they can get real orders and payments.
Seeing this, the people of Xiaozizi directly proposed that if the Chinese did not buy the equipment in the end, they were willing to buy these seven devices at the current price.
The people from the American Chamber of Commerce were relieved and immediately signed a contract with Xiao Zi's people.
Little did they know that their every move was under the control of the Chinese delegation, and the information was specially prepared by them for the waiters.
After the contract between Xiao Ri Zi and the United States was signed, the Chinese delegation also determined the types of equipment that overseas Chinese could buy.
After finalizing the list, Gu Sinian also began to take action.
During this period, Xiao Zi's people and the American Chamber of Commerce must be keeping an eye on the movements of other equipment. In order not to arouse suspicion, Ming Dai and Gu Sinian thought of a way.
Gu Sinian pretends to be Mark, a half-Chinese American, while Ming Dai plays a romantic wealthy widow who has just inherited a huge inheritance and comes to the United States to travel.
Then comes the story of a wealthy widow meeting a handsome gigolo and the spark of love.
When Mingdai and Gu Sinian, who had put on makeup, appeared in front of Minister Xun and his men, they did not recognize them.
Ming Dai, in particular, dressed herself up as a 40-year-old Romantic woman. If you didn't look closely at the color of her pupils, you wouldn't be able to tell that she was Chinese. Plus, she spoke authentic Romantic language, so no one could tell there was something wrong.
Gu Sinian's facial features have also been made more profound by Ming Dai, making him look more like the grandfather of this identity.
Just like that, the two of them swaggered out of the hotel under the surveillance of Xiao Zi and the beautiful countrymen.
Under Shen Zhengying's guidance, they soon met with various overseas Chinese.
Thanks to the relationship that Shen Zhengying had established, they purchased most of the equipment smoothly.
All that remains is to solve the problem of transportation.
They need to buy some real foreign garbage, dismantle these devices, mix them in, and deal with customs inspections.
This is a very important link, but among the overseas Chinese they trust, none of them is engaged in this business.
Finally, it was the overseas Chinese who recommended someone to them, Song Liqun.
Although this person is an overseas Chinese, he has been assimilated into the United States. Not only does he not recognize his Chinese identity, he also looks down on Chinese people just like Americans.
The reason why I recommend him is, firstly, because he has the biggest garbage dump, and secondly, because he is famous for making money as long as he is paid;
The most important reason is that Song Liqun also made his fortune by marrying a widow and starting a business with the inheritance she gave him.
The same experience should be able to resonate with him, and the success rate will be higher.
Sure enough, when Gu Sinian appeared in Song Liqun's office with Mingdai, who was dressed as a noble lady, he could tell Gu Sinian's purpose at a glance from the combination of old wife and young husband.
Gu Sinian and Ming Dai were also surprised when they saw Song Liqun. They looked at each other and confirmed the answer.
Song Liqun smiled and said, "Are Mr. Mark and Ms. Caroline also interested in the garbage export business?"
Before Mingdai could speak, Gu Sinian spoke in Chinese: "Mr. Song, let's communicate in Chinese!"
Hearing him speaking Chinese, Mingdai frowned, obviously expressing her dissatisfaction. Gu Sinian quickly leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear, and soon coaxed Mingdai into being so happy that she handed over the check in her hand with love.
Song Liqun watched the young man opposite him get the money with just a few words, and couldn't help but think back to his own experience.
Back then, I put in a lot of effort to win over my ex-wife. I don’t know how many flowers I gave her. But nowadays, young people can win people over with just a few words. It’s true that each generation is better than the last!
In fact, Gu Sinian was confirming the information with Mingdai.
"Doesn't she look a lot like Jiang Sisi?"
Mingdai smiled and nodded.
The two soon realized that this was most likely Jiang Sisi's biological father!
She remembered that the reason Zhao Xuying was abandoned was because the overseas Chinese hooked up with a rich girl. Now it seems that he was too embarrassed to say that he had fallen in love with a rich widow, so he used the rich girl's excuse to deceive Zhao Xuying.
If Zhao Xuying knew that she was outshined by a widow, given her conceited personality, she would probably faint.
Under the gazes of Song Liqun's peers, Gu Sinian smiled and said, "Mr. Song, are you interested in exporting this garbage to China?"
When he heard about China, Song Liqun raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's not easy to get into China, do you have any connections?"
Gu Sinian smiled mysteriously and said, "My grandfather left me some connections in China. It depends on whether Mr. Song is interested."
Song Liqun then remembered that his friend had introduced this young man to China and said that his grandfather was an outstanding contributor to China, but it was a pity that his grandson had become a gigolo who made his fortune by deceiving women.
But this is not something he needs to consider. Song Liqun has long coveted the Chinese market, but had no way to enter. Now there is a ready-made opportunity at his doorstep, why not take it!
So he took out his quotation sheet: "I am naturally interested in cooperating with Mr. Mark. Here is the quotation sheet. Take a look."
Gu Sinian took it and took a look, a cold look flashing in his eyes.
There are many types of foreign garbage, including harmful and harmless ones, and the gap between them is huge.
Eighty percent of the material Song Liqun gave him was hazardous waste, and imports of it were prohibited in many places.
If Mingdai hadn't explained it to me before I came here, I really wouldn't have been able to see the problem with this quotation!
Whether he was testing China intentionally or doing it deliberately, it shows that he really doesn't take China seriously.
Gu Sinian gently pushed the quotation back and shook his head at Song Liqun.
Song Liqun smiled and said, "Why, are you dissatisfied with the price?"
Gu Sinian shook his head and said, "Mr. Song, let me tell you the truth. I am interested in the old equipment in your garbage dump."
Hearing this, Song Liqun immediately became alert: "What do you want those devices for?"
Although he had not received any notice from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce prohibiting the sale of equipment to the Chinese, he knew something about the buzz in the industry.
Now that Mark wanted to buy equipment, it naturally aroused his vigilance.
Mark glanced at Ming Dai who was looking around boredly, and quietly approached Song Liqun: "Mr. Song, my girlfriend has always thought that I was going to open a factory in China, and the money she gave me was for me to buy equipment.
However, I still had gambling debts and needed some money to make a comeback.
So, I want to buy some scrapped equipment and ship it to China to pay her off and get the money.
You know, I'm still young and I don't plan to get married so early."
As she said this, Mingdai pinched Gu Sinian's thigh hard under the table.
Song Liqun breathed a sigh of relief.
He just happened to have a batch of scrapped equipment piled up in his garbage dump. These devices were sent to him because they were beyond repair. If he sold them to the Chinese, even if the people from the American Chamber of Commerce knew about it, they wouldn't say anything.
Therefore, he not only agreed readily, but also gave Gu Sinian a suggestion.
"Some of these devices still look very new. After they are shipped to China, you can sell them as second-hand equipment, and you can make a lot of money!"
Mingdai felt a chill when she heard this, while Gu Sinian controlled the urge to hit someone and nodded with a smile.
After determining the type of garbage, Song Liqun took out another quotation, the price of which was much more expensive than the previous one.
Gu Sinian did not bargain for a price, but instead asked him to take care of the customs.
Song Liqun agreed readily. When doing this business, customs is of paramount importance. He has been taking care of it, so it will not be a problem.
After finalizing the details, the two signed the contract, and Gu Sinian readily asked Mingdai to rewrite a check for him as a deposit.
Song Liqun took the check, smiled, and saw the two people off in the car.
After getting in the car, the two drove around the city several times, drove to a villa area, and disappeared around the corner.
Shortly after they disappeared, a small car drove up nearby, stayed there for a while, and then left.
Mingdai and Gu Sinian came out from the darkness, got back into the car, and drove in the opposite direction.
In the evening, the depressed Chinese delegation just walked into the meeting room, and when they saw Ming and Dai waiting inside after removing their makeup, they immediately perked up.
"How is it?!"
"Is it going well?!"
. . . . . .
Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Gu Sinian handed over the signed contract.
"It's done!"
Minister Xun looked at the signed contract and nodded excitedly. He didn't expect that he would actually buy most of the equipment in the end!
The others also covered their mouths excitedly, for fear that they would accidentally laugh out loud and attract the attention of the spies outside.
After collecting the contract, Minister Xun looked at the two of them and said, "Including the previous purchase contract, we have won a total of 15 production lines this time. If we split them up and replace some of them, it should be enough.
You guys should have a good rest from now on, and we will handle the replacement and transportation work. When this batch of equipment is successfully shipped back to the country, I will apply for a special contribution award for you!"
The others looked at the two young men with a smile on their faces. No one had any objection and everyone recognized their abilities.
Ming Dai and Gu Sinian looked at each other and were a little excited. This was an award that could only be won by people with outstanding contributions. It was extremely valuable!
Mingdai immediately felt that 15 production lines were too few!
After whispering with Gu Sinian for a while, Mingdai found Minister Xun who was arranging work.
"Minister Xun, I have a suggestion..."
Princesses, I'm late!
