Upon hearing Sheng Xiping's words, everyone burst into laughter.
Russian-made machinery is characterized by its robustness, durability, and exceptional resilience.
"Yes, the mine will definitely take it. I'll report to the leader right away, and then you can talk to the leader."
Zhang Shouzhi was a minor leader at the mine, but he couldn't make the decision on this matter himself; he had to report it to the higher-ups.
Sheng Xiping naturally had no objections, so he hung up the phone and then called Chen Ruiqing and Feng Shuyan's uncle, Qiao Haishan.
Ask them to help contact a few large mines to see if they need mining trucks.
Chen Ruiqing and Qiao Haishan were overjoyed to hear this and readily agreed to help.
On the other hand, when Zhang Shouzhi told his superiors, they were so excited they almost jumped up and immediately contacted Sheng Xiping.
A new 30-ton Belas mining truck would cost around 200,000, while a 40-ton one would cost 300,000.
Sheng Xiping got his hands on used trucks, about 70-80% new, with a set of easily damaged parts. The 30-ton trucks were priced at 100,000 yuan, and the 40-ton trucks at 150,000 yuan, a discount of exactly half.
Upon hearing this, the coal mine leaders immediately stated that they wanted ten units.
We will immediately arrange for technicians to go to Heihe to inspect the vehicle in person. As long as there are no problems in any aspect, we will make the payment immediately.
Meanwhile, the people Chen Ruiqing and Qiao Haishan contacted went crazy upon hearing the price and quickly arranged for tickets to be booked for Heihe.
In the following days, Tengyue Company broadened the horizons and knowledge of everyone involved in border trade.
While others were still exchanging everyday products for scrap steel, fertilizer, hides, and other similar items, Tengyue Company changed its approach.
They traded supplies for Lada cars, Volga cars, Kamaz trucks, bulldozers, excavators, Belas mining trucks, large agricultural machinery, and industrial raw materials such as skim milk powder and polyvinyl chloride.
These items became the most sought-after goods, and were almost immediately snatched up as soon as they arrived at the shore.
Countless people have gone to great lengths to find the person in charge of Tengyue Company and try to snatch a spot to buy goods.
But Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng both hid and refused to see anyone.
How can you tell? Those vehicles, machinery, and industrial raw materials were all pre-ordered. There's not even enough to go around, so how can there be any left over to sell?
"Damn, this Tengyue Company is too weird. How did they get these things?"
I went to check it out today. Just today, forty or fifty mining trucks were transported from the other side of the river. In addition, there were excavators, bulldozers and other equipment, which must have numbered in the hundreds.
Not counting all the other goods, just these items alone could make a few million.
Lin Dongfang and the others returned to the courtyard they had temporarily rented, dejected. As soon as they entered, Lin Dongfang began to curse.
Cao Jianjun, Lin Dongfang, and a group of other young men from the capital have been staying in Heihe for quite some time.
They came full of ambition and high aspirations, thinking that making money through border trade would be as easy as picking up freebies. They believed that once they arrived with a large amount of goods, they would be invincible.
Wu Yucheng is nothing. He only made money because he got an early advantage. When they arrive, we'll kill him without leaving a trace.
When they got there, they discovered that it wasn't like that at all. Border trade may seem easy, but there are many hidden tricks involved.
Their goods weren't quite right for the Russian market, so they weren't well-received and sales were poor.
Even if they raise the price to sell their goods, many people are unwilling to trade with them, fearing that the goods will be difficult to sell.
By leveraging the names of their fathers, Cao Jianjun and his associates managed to establish connections with the Bureau of Commerce and Trade, and through them, they managed to contact some clients.
But those customers often only make one or two transactions, and then nothing more happens.
These young masters, however, were too ashamed to go to the island's market and trade like everyone else.
And so, they can't make big money, and they're too ashamed to ask for small money, so they just stay here doing nothing all day.
Seeing that other businesses were thriving while their own were sluggish, Cao Jianjun and the others were so anxious that they developed blisters on their lips.
"Brother Jun, this can't go on. We have to think of a way to get rid of these goods we have. They represent years of hard work by the brothers. We can't just throw them all away."
"You want me to come up with a solution? What ideas do I have?"
We can't attract customers, and even if we do, we can't retain them. What can I do?
Cao Jianjun lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), his voice filled with suppressed anger and frustration.
"What should we do then? The brothers all listened to you and invested money to come here with you."
"Now that things are like this, even if others say there's no way to fix it, you can't say that." The people nearby heard this and were unhappy.
"Yeah, bro, how about we think of another idea?"
Lin Dongfang and Cao Jianjun had a good relationship. He reached out and nudged the person who was speaking, glared at him, and then sat down next to Cao Jianjun and whispered.
"Don't give me any bad advice. You just got scolded a few days ago, have you forgotten all about it?" Cao Jianjun shook his head vigorously.
Just two days after Cao Jianjun clashed with Wu Yucheng, Cao Jianjun received a phone call from his father, who gave him a severe scolding.
"Besides, don't you know what happened to those thugs a few days ago? I heard that the ringleaders might get chopped up, or at the very least, they'll get life imprisonment."
Don't get any funny ideas at this time; if you run into trouble, no one can save you.
Let's calm down. Tomorrow, everyone will take their goods to the market on the island.
We're not even looking to make a lot of money now; we just want to get rid of these goods and avoid losing too much money.
Cao Jianjun isn't stupid. He's already made a mistake, and he can't afford to make another. Cutting his losses in time means he can turn back.
