Chapter 25 I treat you as a brother (Second update, please collect)
"Mr. Song, a gentleman loves money in a proper way. Foreigners use their power to bully others and bully my compatriots. How can our compatriots take advantage of it? In the future, I buy sugar from you at the current price!"
After saying that, Li Yian picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee as if nothing had happened.
In fact, at this moment, he was ready to be punished by the system. After all, according to the nature of the system, businessmen cannot do business at a loss.
I never thought that the system would not appear at all.
It’s a little different from what I imagined!
The seemingly light words fell into the ears of Li Dijun, Song Chengjun and Song Bing, leaving them all stunned.
After a long time, Song Chengjun stood up and clasped his fists and said.
"Mr. Li is so righteous, I admire you!"
Looking at the man sitting there, Song Bing, who was still full of anger, now turned red with embarrassment. Originally, she was just chatting with him. My father's ride-along into the city for shopping never expected that after listening to that man's words, I couldn't control myself and stood up, but who knew that there would be such a big misunderstanding.
So he apologized quickly.
"Li, Mr. Li, I, I... I'm really sorry for accusing Mr. Li for no reason."
Looking at the girl standing next to him, Li Yian said.
"It doesn't matter. Since Miss is here with Mr. Song, let's go together."
After saying that, he turned to Song Chengjun and said.
"Mr. Song, I can accept this candy, but I can't guarantee how much it will be. This month..."
After thinking for a moment, Li Yian said.
"Three to four thousand tons should be no problem."
"Three to four thousand tons..."
Although he was slightly disappointed, Song Chengjun still nodded and said.
"Although it's not much, it can solve our urgent needs."
"Take your time."
Li Yian continued.
“But I have to say something upfront. The Yankees are trying to choke us by controlling shipping. If they know that I am helping you get out of trouble, I’m afraid it will cause some trouble, so , If you want to do this business, you have to keep it secret!”
Keep it secret?
Not to keep it secret, but to... hide the fact that he doesn't have a boat.
"What Mr. Li said is true. Don't worry, we will never let outsiders know Mr. Li's identity, nor will we..."
I originally thought that I would not leave you behind. Song Chengjun, a big shot who caused trouble, swallowed his words as soon as they reached his lips.
There are some things that can be known, but cannot be clarified.
The most valuable thing right now is the boat. Most people will definitely not be able to get a boat. Even if they can get it, it will definitely not be seen in the light. A boat that is not seen in the light must not be mentioned.
The next thing couldn't be simpler. It's nothing more than the two parties agreeing on the delivery method and, of course, how to keep it confidential. After that, the deal is finally settled.
Of course, Li Yian also specifically asked about the tobacco business, and Song Chengjun knew everything about it.
“...Although American tobacco companies have factories in Cuba to produce paper cigarettes, those cigarettes need to pay cigarette taxes when they leave the factory. Unless they can buy the factory, they can then ship out tax-free cigarettes... ”
To put it bluntly, it’s just one sentence, it has to be relevant!
It doesn't matter, even if you hold money in your hands, you may not be able to buy things. It’s not that the Chinese can’t do some business, it’s that there’s no way to do it, at least not yet. Even if they intervene forcibly, they will definitely be suppressed. Just like Song Chengjun and others wanted to take the opportunity to get involved in the sugar industry. Without the God-given opportunity of World War II, they would have We can only watch helplessly as the Americans dominate this business. Even if they have a foot in the game now, what will be the result?
Obvious and obvious.
......
"I really didn't expect Mr. Li to be so kind..." As the car drove towards the embassy, Song Chengjun suddenly said something, and then he was silent for a long time before speaking. ：
“My dear brother Shijie, Mr. Li is so kind and kind. As a brother, I will never let him suffer...”
"I wonder what Brother Zhepu's plans are?"
"Well...if it is compacted, it will be okay to pack 10% more in each bag."
"Pack 10% more... "
Li Dijun pondered.
"Master Li is righteous and brother Zhepu is kind. If we Chinese businessmen are like you, how can we be underestimated by foreigners? Alas..."
When the words came to his lips, Li Dijun couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, while Song Chengjun on the side agreed.
"What Cheng Jie said is true. Since Jiang Yu and others seized the position of chairman of the General Association, there have been intrigues within the overseas Chinese community and even outsiders being invited to help. It is really ridiculous."
The Jiang Yu he refers to is Jiang Cifu, Yu Zhiquan and others, who used bribery and other fraudulent means to become the chairman of the Chinese General Association. Since he took office, he has made clever excuses to extort overseas Chinese.
"It's not only ridiculous, it's simply shameless. I can only hate that he is running rampant just because he is a member of the Central Committee. Even I, hey, can't do anything about it."
A long sigh. Finally, there was silence in the car. After a long time, Li Dijun said.
"Actually, Brother Zhepu can also compete for the chairman of the association. Wouldn't he be more suitable than those people?"
"This..."
Song Chengjun shook his head and said.
"You know this is not my ambition."
Seeing this, Li Dijun did not continue speaking, and suddenly said as if he remembered something.
"Brother Zhepu, what do you think of Mr. Li?"
"I can't see through it."
Song Chengjun said directly.
"The people who can get the boat now are definitely not ordinary people. I'm afraid this person's background is extraordinary!"
Listening to the words of his old friend, Li Dijun asked.
"Brother Zhepu, do you think he and your niece are suitable?"
Faced with the inquiry from his old friend, Song Chengjun did not hide anything and said directly.
“Yesterday you told me that a young leader from the United States arrived in Havana, and I was a little moved. After all, there are not many compatriots who are suitable for Binger in Havana right now. They are either older or younger. This war of resistance has lasted for several years. Although victory is expected, there is no end in sight, but I am just a daughter..."
Song Chengjun said with a wry smile.
“You can’t drag yourself into an old aunt.”
This was also the reason why Song Bing appeared in the coffee shop, but Song Chengjun didn't tell her the reason. He just took her into the city on the pretext of discussing business and asked her to wait aside.
Neither Song Bing nor Li Yian could have imagined in their wildest dreams... that this was actually a blind date!
“It’s hard to be a parent!”
After sighing, Li Dijun said:
“Guyi, if you don’t say anything else, is as good as Mr. Li and his niece in terms of appearance and age. It’s quite appropriate. If it can be done, it can also solve Brother Zhepu’s worries.”
Hearing this, Song Chengjun shook his head and said.
“Let’s take a look and talk, look and talk. Besides, I think he may not have this ambition. You haven’t seen him look at Bing’er from the beginning to the end. Mr. Li, I’m afraid He is dedicated to his career..."
