Chapter 508 The Spoiler
When Wang Dongcheng announced the numbers, almost everyone in the room gasped at the same time.
This profit isn't particularly outrageous compared to before the Lunar New Year, but don't forget that the profits from 400 tons of special steel and several hundred cubic meters of wood haven't been factored in.
If you add them all up, it would probably be over five million, right?
This is only the first day, and we've already achieved such results. Who wouldn't be satisfied?
"Well, I just told Gangzi that starting tomorrow, the exchange rate will be doubled for both large-scale business and small-scale trade."
"For example, what used to be something you could exchange for one bottle of wine with your labor will now be two bottles starting tomorrow," Sheng Xiping sighed and said to everyone.
"What? Bro, what's wrong with you? Did you drink too much today and your brain isn't working properly or what?"
"Who would voluntarily raise the price for the other party? Are you kidding me?" Wu Yucheng was the first to object, almost jumping up.
"Won't that reduce our profits?"
"Do you think I'm happy about this? Isn't this just troublemakers coming along?"
Gangzi told me that today on the island, a group of people with accents from the capital were exchanging goods for double the amount.
"Brother, we took leave to come here. We have something to remind you of." Xu Bin and Xu Yi sat down and spoke first, without even having a drink of water.
Oh, by the way, I brought some things from home. You two wait for me a moment.
"By the way, tell your uncles about what we discussed with Ivanov today."
We can't wait for customers to ask us for a price increase before we raise prices; that would lose us a lot of customers. Raising prices proactively, even if we earn less, helps us retain customers.
We came here specifically to tell you, so you can be on guard and make sure nothing goes wrong.
"Alright, forget your nonsense. We're legitimate business people, stop talking about fighting and killing all the time."
“Okay, I’ll go right now.” Wu Yucheng said, getting up, putting on his coat, and leaving.
Sheng Xiping sighed. He didn't want the price to rise, but he was forced by circumstances.
After discussing the matter, Aunt Yang and the others had just finished cleaning up the food, so everyone quickly went to eat.
The most basic principle in doing business is integrity. The Ivanov line must not be broken under any circumstances and needs to be well maintained.
Sheng Xiping shook his head. This is not something that can be solved with fists.
It was agreed that 5% of the profits would be converted into US dollars and transferred to the account designated by Ivanov.
"Damn, who the hell is this?"
No way, I'm going to the island tomorrow. I want to see which bastard dares to cause trouble for me.
"Alright, let's not rush this. Let's wait and see. Even if we double the price, our profits will still be considerable."
Sheng Xiping quickly invited the two to sit down and got up to pour them two cups of tea.
He had just lain down for a short while when he suddenly heard dogs barking loudly outside. Sheng Xiping hurriedly got up, and just as he was about to get out of bed to check, someone from next door went out.
"By the way, could you please visit my uncle and Old Yang for me later and find out when the test results will be available? I need to send money to Ivanov."
"These are Shanghai brand watches that my relatives brought back from Shanghai during the Chinese New Year. They are all the latest models."
“I don’t care who gets involved, but they come here and disrupt the market, making it impossible for us to do business properly. I can’t swallow this anger if I don’t teach them a lesson.”
Sheng Xiping got up, rummaged through the cabinet on the floor, found his backpack, and then took out two boxes from the bag.
This trade isn't just a private affair; anyone can get involved. What? You want to bully others and create a monopoly?
These people also set their sights on border trade, mainly on Tengyue Company.
Then, Pan Fusheng led the two people into the house.
Back in the day, Wu Yucheng was a man of great influence in the capital, someone who could tolerate being bullied.
"Brother, a group of people came to our restaurant today, and some of them are local gang leaders."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Okay, Binzi, I understand. Thank you both."
I've been so busy since I got back that I haven't had a chance to get together with you guys. I'll treat you to a meal sometime when you two have a day off.
Some things don't need to be said too clearly; those who are listening will understand naturally.
"What's wrong?" Sheng Xiping was taken aback when he noticed the Xu brothers' strange expressions. Who's this troublemaker now?
Sheng Xiping never mistreats those who do things for him.
"Binzi, Xiaoyi, what brings you two here at this hour? Have you eaten yet?"
Sheng Xiping patted Wu Yucheng on the shoulder to comfort him.
Xu Bin recounted the whole story to Sheng Xiping in one breath.
Then I heard those people mention Tengyue Trading Company. Later I found out that there were people from Harbin in that room, who were said to be quite famous in Harbin.
Xu Bin and Xu Yi took time off work late at night to come and warn him to be careful. This gesture was very kind, and he had to thank them properly.
I remember you two have partners but aren't married yet, right? Perfect, one yuan each, keep it for your partners.
Sheng Xiping had drunk quite a bit today and wasn't hungry, so he lay on the heated kang and dozed off.
Those two people were employees of the Longjiang Hotel and relatives of Xu Guoxing. Sheng Xiping knew them.
Everyone had been busy all day and was starving.
We all know each other, and we're afraid they might come and cause trouble, so we specially arranged for someone to take good care of them.
"If I don't kick his balls out, I'm not Wu!" Wu Yucheng slammed his hand on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and roared.
