I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 73 Davari, Cheers! (Subscribe)

"That's right! All the people coming out of our company are talented."

"If you don't have the skills, our boss won't like you." Chen Shang showed a subtle expression.

After staring at the waves caused by the propeller rolling up at the stern, he continued to find fault and bargain with Manager Zhang of Hongyu Shipping on the deck.

When Chen Jue came out of the power room with Tie Laoliu, Manager Zhang, who had just acted like a seller and was on friendly terms with Chen Shang, was now stunned by this "swindler villager".

Especially those rusty parts of the hull and the outdated cabin instruments and equipment, every unsightly place was photographed and listed by Chen Shang for evidence.

So in this awkward atmosphere, after finishing the test drive and getting off the ship, the group went straight to Hongyu Ship's office and got straight to the point.

However, at the negotiation stage, the nature of the unscrupulous businessman began to be exposed.

After a round of bargaining, Hongyu Ship originally asked for a price of 860 million per vessel, but Chen Shang used the on-site inspection list as an excuse to manipulate the price.

In the end, the price was bargained down to an ultra-low 513 million.

"Brother Shang! There can't be any less!"

"This bulk carrier has a net weight of more than 1000 tons. Even if I take it away for compulsory scrapping, I still have to pay yuan per ton."

"Even selling scrap steel from ships isn't this cheap!"

Zhang Haiyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a little dry in the mouth.

I don’t know if it was because the air conditioning in the office was not turned down low enough, or because I was completely overwhelmed by the other party at the negotiation table.

In short, when he sat in front of this old businessman, he felt that he had worked in the ship agency for nothing all these years, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.

As if he was afraid of losing the business, he made all kinds of concessions.

"It's a 21-year-old ship. How is it different from scrap steel after being in the water for so long?"

"Round off the price and sign the contract for 510 million. Our company will continue to need this type of large-tonnage bulk cargo ship, and you will be in charge of it in the future."

The dog-headed military advisor slashed the opponent with the last knife, and turned back to Chen Jue who was sitting on the side watching the show, showing a confident and flattering look of "I have a little one to do the work! Boss, you can rest assured!"

Zhang Haiyuan, who was a little weak from being tortured, pursed his cracked lips and nodded, saying, "Okay... okay! 510 million is 510 million! Just think of it as us Hongyu Shipping making friends with Brother Shang and Mr. Chen!"

……

After finalizing the price for the full purchase of the ship, Chen Jue squeezed out more than 5 million yuan from the company account, and the rest was just to go through the transfer procedures.

After all, Zhang Haiyuan has worked as a real estate agent in Xiangshan for many years, so he knows everything about running errands and handling formalities.

After a few phone calls and WeChat messages, all the documents for this 10,000-ton bulk carrier were quickly registered under the name of "Tiehan Logistics".

Since the previously obtained license did not involve international shipping, Chen Jue also specifically looked for those financial companies to add Tiehan Logistics' business scope.

It was already the next day when the formalities were completed. Chen Jue asked Hongyu Shipping to find a tugboat to tow the 10,000-ton bulk carrier all the way from Xiangshan to the Cube Technology Dock in Rui County, more than 300 kilometers south, on the pretext that the old ship needed to be renovated. He remotely directed the Iron Man to use the [iron sheet] cut from the MC [Iron Cube] to renovate the hull of the old ship and spray it with anti-corrosion paint.

He himself took his dog-headed military advisor and two iron golems and drove straight to Chunhui City in the northeast.

The reason for coming to this remote border city is that Chunhui City borders the Hassan District of the Russian Empire, and various border trades are very developed.

In addition, in recent years, the two sides have increased cooperation and vigorously developed infrastructure and trade cooperation in the Far East.

In addition to the hardworking Chinese who go to Russia to do business through the port of Chunhui City, there are also many blond, blue-eyed, pot-bellied Russians who come here to set up trading companies and liaison offices.

Although Chen Jue didn't know Russian, he had no way to deal with these Russians in person.

However, with the help of the profiteer villager, an MC creature who can absorb book information instantly, he soon found an office in the Hassan District of Great Russia in Chunhui City that specializes in trade between the two places.

Chen Shang was asked to come forward, speaking Russian with a fluent Moscow accent, and to entrust the Russian manager Alexi of this office to go to the customs port in Hassan District and prepare a set of empty customs declaration materials with only procedures but no actual objects.

In the past, gray market intermediaries like these that roamed around border ports were very common in these Far Eastern border port cities.

After all, China's economy is taking off, but Russia is still in dire straits.

Years of military conflicts and more than 10,000 economic sanctions from the United States and the West have kept the lower-class people of Russia living on the poverty line for a long time.

Especially in the Far East regions such as the Hassan District, agricultural technology is extremely underdeveloped due to backward economic development and sparse population.

Wherever there is a piece of fertile black soil, it is contracted and leased to grain traders from all over the world and China, and used to grow crops needed by various countries. It is truly like begging for food while sitting on a gold mountain.

Alexei is a typical Russian in Hassan District who can't make it in the local area but has some connections.

These Russians don't have any special skills and don't have the capital to become farmers, so they like to go to the border port cities in China to make a living as cross-strait traders.

But when Alexei saw that the goods that needed to be declared were 10 tons of soybeans, he showed some embarrassment on his face: "Old merchant, 10 tons is too much! You also need a certificate of origin. There are not so many soybeans grown in the entire Hassan District!"

Chen Shang smiled slightly, revealing an expression that he had control over the other party. He took out 20 bundles of red notes from his backpack and placed them on the table: "Dawali! Is 10 tons too much? I think it's too little. How about another 10 tons?"

"Anyway, for your customs officers, it's just a matter of typing a few more numbers and punctuation marks on the documents."

"Think about it, you only need a few stamped A4 sheets of paper to exchange for these banknotes. If you don't do such a simple business, there are plenty of your compatriots who want to do it."

"If this cooperation is successful, there will be long-term cooperation in the future. This 20 is just a deposit! After the deal is done, I will give you another 30."

Alexei looked at the bundles of RMB on the table and swallowed his saliva. He listened to the devilish temptation coming from his ears, and finally gave up his hesitation and nodded, "Okay, old merchant! You convinced me, I will try my best to get it done! I still have some acquaintances at the customs."

Seeing this, the dog-headed military advisor laughed and took out a bottle of vodka bought from a roadside Russian import store and pressed it on the pile of red bills: "Don't feel psychologically burdened, Davari. This is not a business, but for the deep friendship between the two countries!"

Alexei saw the Russian's favorite water of life, and his eyes lit up and he laughed: "Yes, for friendship!"

"Dawali, cheers!"
