An hour later, Chen Xi, who was a little drunk, opened the door of the box and walked towards the toilet.
Before I had taken two steps, the door next door opened.
Several men walked out of it, and a drunkard still had his head lowered and was being supported by an Indonesian girl, shouting that he didn't drink enough.
The drunk man suddenly held the wall, as if he wanted to vomit, and blocked the entire aisle.
"I borrowed it." Chen Xi frowned as he looked at the dimly lit corridor.
However, the drunkard in front of him seemed not to hear and still stood there.
After a few seconds, the drunkard seemed to feel better. He waved his hand to indicate that he was okay, and then raised his head.
"Huh? Is it you?" Chen Xi looked at the man in front of him and said suspiciously.
"Fuck, I drank too much, and I'm hallucinating. I can still meet such a loser like you abroad, damn..." Yang Dan felt that everything in front of him was fake.
"Sha Diao, if you can't drink it, don't drink it." Chen Xi curled his lips and looked at the others.
There was a man in a suit with a slicked back hair, a few dark-skinned Southeast Asians, and a ghost guy in a sweatshirt standing at the end.
Soon, he set his sights on the big back.
This man is quite famous. In Australia, he relied on his online gaming skills to transform himself from a Junket operator into a very important company chairman, earning hundreds of billions in a few years. However, Chen Xi knew that this person was just the boss on the surface, but there were actually people behind him controlling everything.
"Chen Xi, you wait. This time I called a few helpers from the magic city, and you will be the one to look after me." Yang Dan shook his body and cursed.
People around him thought he was too drunk and recognized the wrong person, so they quickly asked the Indonesian woman to help Yang Dan leave.
After a few people left, Chen Xi looked back subconsciously.
The man in the sweatshirt walking at the end was also looking at him.
Late at night, I cover my face mysteriously, which is really sick.
Yang Dan, this idiot, hired help from the Demon City, and the handles of those hands fell into my hands. I really don't know what to do.
Chen Xi, who couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, complained in his mind and walked to the toilet.
Months passed by.
With the outbreak of the European debt crisis, a debt crisis has also emerged in Great Beauty. The stock market fell sharply due to the impact of the downgrade of Da Nili's credit rating from AAA to AA+.
Floods occurred in Siam and food production decreased.
In the island nation, a previous 9-magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami, which resulted in the leakage of radioactive material from the nuclear power plant, and the price of seafood plummeted.
Officials and people from all walks of life held silent ceremonies and prayers for post-disaster reconstruction, which lasted for several months.
The foreign trade company that Chen Xi set up before also made a lot of money by delivering a large amount of agricultural products to the island countries.
In the conference room, Yin Anwei and others asked in confusion: "There is an urgent need for agricultural products over there now, why don't we take the opportunity to transport them in large quantities?"
"Yes, some bosses told me privately that if we can open the market there and fill the supermarkets with their products, we will give very generous rebates in the future."
"That is, we should take this opportunity to take over there in one fell swoop, spread our agricultural products all over their streets and alleys, and then open a supermarket there, and then take the girls over there, hehehehe..."
Chen Xi took a sip of tea and looked at these whimsical guys and shook their fingers: "Occupying their market will encounter resistance from the locals. Instead of selling agricultural products to them, it is better to boil frogs in warm water. Come up with new planting methods. Give the raw materials to the factory and grind them slowly! ”
While Chen Xi was having a meeting, there was a knock on the door of the conference room. An employee walked in and whispered a few words in Chen Xi's ear.
"Brother Xi, what's wrong?" Yin Anwei asked after the employee left.
"We have guests here. Today's meeting will start here." Chen Xi stood up.
At the door of the office, several ghost guys were sitting on the sofa, chatting. Seeing Chen Xi coming, they all stood up to greet him.
"Hello, I am a representative of ADM."
"I am a representative of Bunge."
"Representative of Cargill."
"Representative of Louis Dreyfus."
There are three men and one woman. Although they are all white, they are extremely fluent in Mandarin.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" After entering the office, Chen Xi asked someone to make a cup of tea for the four of them.
"That's it, Mr. Chen. We are from the Big Beautiful ABCD Group. You may not be very familiar with us. Let me briefly introduce it first... The island country was affected by a major disaster last time, and agricultural products were in urgent need. Originally, our four major groups had already prepared A large amount of food was prepared to assist them, but unexpectedly... After we inquired in many ways, we finally found that your company sent a large amount of supplies to the island country..." The only woman among the four was the first to speak.
"What do you mean by this? Do you mean that I deliberately cut off my beard? Are you here to question me today?" Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party.
He is in his thirties, blond, with average appearance and build.
"No, you misunderstood. We are here today to discuss cooperation with your company." The second person to speak was a fat ghost guy with a smile on his face like a Maitreya Buddha.
"Oh? We're here to discuss business. Let's talk." Chen Xi slowly blew the tea in the cup.
The next person to speak was the representative of Cargill, a handsome and strong man: "Your company transports a large amount of agricultural products from the mainland, but the local agricultural products are average in terms of reputation and quality, which leads to the price being too low. . Our four major grain merchants can provide you with high-quality agricultural products in large quantities and at affordable prices. Based on the overall trade evaluation, if your company adopts our products, its profits will be doubled at least.”
< br>
"Why don't you just transport it and sell it yourself?" Chen Xi leaned on his chair and looked at the four of them.
At this time, the representative of Louis Dreyfus spread his hands: "Mr. Chen, you are asking questions knowingly. Your company has adopted special competition methods with low agricultural product prices. How can we sell our goods?"
It's obvious that they don't want your goods, and they're on guard against you, the four major grain merchants, but they still blame me. You're really good at talking.
Chen Xi sneered in his heart, but still asked: "Then you can also lower the price. Let me emphasize first that the neighboring countries are affected by the disaster this time, and the products shipped by our company are for international disaster relief. However, due to the huge quantity and historical issues , so this is not free for you. The four major grain merchants, don’t be so petty. If you want to open up the market over there, why not just provide some free products? In fact, I don’t want to make money at all, I just want to provide humanitarian relief. Unfortunately, we are a small company with limited funds. Limited..."
His words made the four of them feel so miserable that they couldn't express their feelings.
It’s not that ABCD doesn’t provide free agricultural supplies, it’s just that the island countries don’t want them.
Because I am afraid that a beautiful lady will take advantage of the opportunity, I would rather spend money to buy it from China.
"Mr. Chen, how about you look at this. We will provide you with materials for free, and your company will transport them to the island country, and the profit will be yours. But there is a requirement. After the disaster, the market price must be restored, which means that it becomes normal business. ." Cargill's representatives thought for a while and presented the plan they had prepared.
"Okay, no problem." Chen Xi thought for a while and agreed immediately.
Several people discussed specific matters in the office, and the chat lasted two hours. After the others left, Yin Anwei asked in confusion: "Brother Xi, isn't this just inviting the wolf into the house? After they occupy the island country's market, what will happen to our future products?"
"It doesn't matter, wait until they deliver the things and unpack them. Let's change the packaging..."
"They are definitely not stupid. They will send people to the island country to check. If they find that we are doing this, it will definitely be exposed in the media."
"What are you afraid of? A small part of their products will flow into the market, and most of them will be sent to factories for processing. Who knows which domestic products are used in them?"
Chen Xi chuckled.
"Fuck, you are such a traitor."
"There are no more criminals than the four major grain merchants. How much money did they get out of us by setting up traps? This is just to get back our own money."
The two of them were laughing in the office, and their words were full of calculations.
In the parking lot downstairs.
"It is said that Chinese people love petty gains, and it is true."
"This is called picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I think it's better to be careful. We've been in China for many years. The people here don't have martial ethics. It would be bad to regret it after taking the goods."
"Repent? The contract is written in black and white. If we break the contract, we will sue him. Besides, we provide the supplies for free. We must prevent them from doing nothing while taking the goods. When the time comes, we can just send people to Sakura Country to keep an eye on them."
The four representatives of ABCD were discussing with their own agenda.
The trading company's location is not Huajing or Xinlu, but Xinjin.
It was also the location of Chen Xi Trading Company in the previous life.
Why should the company be located in Zai instead of Yongcheng or Shanghai?
First, because it is close to Huajing, and second, it has the advantage of the port. As an important port city in the north, Xinjin is one of the main ports for importing US-standard cars. After these cars arrive at Xinjin Port by sea, they then go through customs declaration, inspection and other procedures to enter the domestic market. People from all over the country come here to buy cheap American-spec cars.
The third is the geographical advantage. Xinjin is located in the center of the Bohai Rim Economic Circle and is an important node connecting the three provinces, northwest and North China. It is conducive to trading companies to expand the domestic market and radiate surrounding areas. Moreover, it is closer to the kimchi country and island countries, and the logistics cost and time cost are also low. As a location currently transporting large amounts of supplies to island countries, this is the most suitable place.
ABCD moved very quickly, as if it knew Chen Xi would agree. Within a few days, the trading company received the notification, and a large amount of supplies were fully prepared.
"Old man, how can you thank me this time? I have helped you get a lot of high-quality products." Chen Xi said smugly on the phone.
"You brat, how can I thank you? I gave you my daughter, and I also paid for the products. I bought goods from you at the Agricultural Cooperative under pressure from a lot of people, and everyone else was secretly scolding me." Kosuke Saeki's roar came from the phone.
"Let them talk, they are jealous of me and have picked the pearl of your Saeki family, hahaha."
"Next time you come to the island country, I must teach you a lesson so that you know how to talk to your elders."
"Come on, you are also a person who has studied abroad. Stop pretending to be etiquette and tradition with me."
"Let's not talk about it. The post-disaster recovery work is expected to last seven or eight years. Now the nuclear power plant has leaked, causing local water sources and land pollution. Long-term dependence on imported crops is not an option..."
"Oh, you want me to give you some advice. Aren't you afraid that I, a foreigner, will deliberately harm you?"
"Humph, forget it if I don't want to help you." Kosuke Saeki's stubborn temper also rose.
"Now is not the time. If your agricultural cooperative wants to survive, it can only take the processing road, that is, process materials into commodities. Then increase the price of fresh vegetables and fruits, and use high-priced local products to maintain the needs of the upper class. , and then use imported cheap agricultural products to satisfy the middle and lower classes. It is currently in the early stages of post-disaster recovery, and most people are thinking about how to fill their stomachs. Let’s solve the immediate problems first.” Chen Xi shook his head, breaking Saeki Kosuke’s reluctance. Practical fantasy.
His meaning is actually very clear. As long as people can buy food at low prices to maintain a normal life, then the local residents will have no complaints for the time being, and the officials will not object. The position of Kosuke Saeki, the president of the Agricultural Cooperative Association, will be Able to sit firmly.
If something unexpected happens during this period, someone will have to take the blame. These are extraordinary times, and we must think about issues from a political perspective.
Kosuke Saeki also understood this truth, so he also accepted Chen Xi's suggestion.
"Hey, it's not simple, it's just a pity that he is a foreigner. Otherwise, he might be able to take the position of president in the future. It's a pity..." After hanging up the phone, Kosuke Saeki drank the tea ceremony with regret.
People in the family are opposed to this foreign son-in-law, and people in the association are also opposed to the import of agricultural products from China. Even his traditional wife doesn't like Chen Xi very much.
Kosuke Saeki, who was under pressure from three parties every day, was really tired.
He looked at his daughter's sweet smile on the table, and then clenched his fists.
He is by no means a top-notch and outstanding person. Half of the reason why he holds the position of president of the Agricultural Cooperative Association is because of his family's help. But he can be a great father, and for the happiness of his daughter, he can still fight for some things.
After graduating, Saori was arranged by her father to work in a factory of the Saeki family, the same company where Shimizu worked.
"Sister, you said that there have been so many earthquakes every year since I was a child. I really can't bear it. The last magnitude 9 earthquake was the scariest one I have ever seen. It can be hit from the north. Our house in the south was also destroyed by the earthquake. If a stronger one comes in the future, wouldn't it be ruined?" Qingshui said while carrying a cardboard box.
"If you are so scared, I can recommend you to go to Tu'ao. There are relatively few earthquakes there and there are no major natural disasters. The only disaster may be the frequent forest fires." Saori placed her belongings on the On the desk in the office, he also wiped the photo frame containing the photo of himself and Chen Xi.
"I don't want to run that far, and my English is not good."
"Your English is not good, but my English is good. I can accompany you. This is not a suitable place for me to open a detective agency. I want to open one in Tu'ao to try." Tian Zhongyou, who was helping organize things, also came over.
"Who wants to go to Tu'ao with you? I'm not gay. Speaking of which, if you don't stay at your place every day, why are you always coming to our place?" Qing Shui glared at him angrily.
"I don't have any business. I finally took one to protect your clan sister."
"As long as my clan sister has my protection, I don't need you anymore."
"Don't drive me away, I know a lot of things."
"For example?"
"For example, you can help catch the traitor, and I can be a double agent. While monitoring your sister, I will monitor Chen Xi." As soon as Tian Zhongyou finished speaking, he felt a murderous aura coming over him. He turned around and saw Saori crossing her arms. Crouching and staring at him.
Tian Zhongyou rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said: "I was just joking. What I am best at is actually being a commercial spy. I can help you detect the secrets of your competitors."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a kick on his butt, and Qing Shui's voice came from behind: "Go to work quickly and stop talking nonsense here."
Half an hour later, Saori stood in the warehouse counting items.
As a graduate majoring in design, Shazhi was actually somewhat reluctant to be assigned to work in factory management.
But it seems that the women of the Saeki family have been exposed to this job for generations, and now that it is a time of crisis, she can only let go of her petty temper.
"How are you, are you getting used to the new job?" Suddenly, a magnetic male voice sounded from behind, startling Yazhi who was concentrating on counting the items, and the movements in her hands stopped unconsciously. (End of chapter)
