Chapter 462 Its not a joke(1/4)
The meal with Ji Weidong did not last long, and the two chatted a lot.
Regarding the purchase of fertilizers and materials, Ji Weidong did not agree to everything in one breath.
Don't promise others things you can't do.
Ji Weidong cannot guarantee that he can purchase all key equipment and equipment, especially those related to hospitals, which are not within the scope of his business.
However, he also gave Li Xuewu permission and would discuss it with his father and mother after returning to see if there were any suitable channels.
The money of the steel rolling mill does not come from the strong wind. Every penny must be spent carefully.
How much money can you make from a small piece of hardware? Most of the deposits in Oriental Times Bank are pre-deposits.
If the subsequent business export volume does not keep up and the deposit is used up, the steel rolling mill will no longer have the ability to import equipment and technology.
You can only play the White Wolf with Empty Gloves once. If you play too many times, you will be ruined.
Even under the current international situation, credibility is the most important attribute of trade.
Ji Weidong stayed in the country for so long mainly to deal with trade with Ate.
This kid really dares to play, and he is afraid that the situation in the mainland will be repeated. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he would like to follow Ji Weidong to empty out the major weapons warehouses.
This is of course impossible. The current situation is also quite tense, and weapons and ammunition are also being stockpiled.
But he is a small businessman. Even if he is good at import and export trade, how can he possibly succeed in the mainland?
Opening any number of warehouses would drain his capital, and he still had to prepare enough funds to handle the delivery of Type 66-6 rifles from the steel rolling mill.
Why is he staring at the Type 66-6 rifle?
Because the profit of this thing is huge, if you sell the Type 56, without mentioning its manufacturing cost and craftsmanship, just talking about the popularity of this thing, it doesn’t look like it is valuable.
If we really want to make money from it, we must rely on the transportation channel of the steel rolling mill and use container shipping as we do now.
Shopping for takeout in tons and tons, only by volume can you make money, just like purchasing hardware products.
But the Type 66-6 is different. This thing is sold entirely in the form of a single set. One gun has one price. This price today will be that price tomorrow.
Anyway, the war is in full swing near their hometown. If you really want to sell this kind of individual weapon, if your family has it, my family must also have it.
There were only a few hundred rifles, and they were all looted.
Now that Art and Ji Weidong are familiar with each other, they often follow each other to the special warehouse and see a lot of interesting things.
The mainland's production environment for welding industry is actually pretty good, but we just rely on the above funds to finance our living and development.
Now Ji Weidong took the person who was taken advantage of and walked around, but he threw away a lot of money.
With grenades, mortars, mines, flamethrowers, etc., and large purchases of light weapons, Art almost forgot that he was a hardware trader.
Of course, light weapons are also hardware, but they are more professional and violent.
Most of the foreign businessmen in the business tour group have left. Only Art and the French businesswoman Chantal are still staying at the International Hotel.
The French businessman Chantal was discussing some project with the people in their foreign affairs department. These steel rolling mills had neither control nor responsibility.
Only Art is the only one. This guy has an order from the steel rolling mill. He has a special appearance and dress. He has been around a lot recently and many people know about him.
During dinner, Ji Weidong mentioned that this grandson was not a good person. He said that he was a hardware dealer and was probably an arms dealer who had just changed careers.
If you come to the mainland seriously to purchase hardware products, you are actually coming here for cheap arms.
The potential reason why Art proposed to purchase the Type 66-6 rifle was probably because he heard about Li Xuewu's identity and knew that this was an entry point.
On the premise that I would not lose money when purchasing the 66-6 type, I used this as a stepping stone.
When the steel rolling mill accepted his purchase agreement, he climbed up the ladder and met the more capable and convenient Ji Weidong through Li Xuewu.
Through Ji Weidong, he came into contact with the real metallurgy industry and saw the huge scene of mountains of light weapons.
Both the Foreign Affairs Department and the Investigation Department have gone over his old record and told him clearly that if they continue to cooperate like this, some of his activities will be restricted.
To put it simply, some issues that need to be kept confidential will be reflected in him.
Business can be done, and he can sell wherever he likes, but he is absolutely not allowed to cause trouble to the mainland, let alone reveal any confidentiality issues.
Ate also saw that Baoshan had died, and promised to comply with Ji Weidong's request, as long as the "hardware" he purchased could be transported back.
Ji Weidong naturally agreed, coordinated the cargo ship, and loaded the containers onto it. He would coordinate as many as Art wanted.
The only condition is that his people must follow Art to disperse the goods.
In other words, if Art wants to do this trade, he must bear the conditions of being monitored.
With profits of millions or tens of millions of dollars in front of him, would Art care about this? Let alone surveillance, it would be no problem to just follow him home.
Now he is so full of ambition that he just has to go back to his hometown to sell his goods and have a party.
Ji Weidong was also very happy. It was so rewarding to come back this time, and the relationship between various units warmed up rapidly.
Everyone knows that he is led by a silly dog, who wants things when he sees them, and throws coins when he sees the warehouse.
When I came back this month, Li Xuewu didn't touch his shadow and didn't even see him at night. That was because he was busy.
In Ji Weidong's words, people queuing up to Dongzhimen to treat guests to dinner.
You don't want to ask for favors at this time?
Stop making trouble. The popular and popular people in other companies are grabbing this stupid toad of foreign businessmen and clenching it to death, wishing they could make some dough out of it.
They are reluctant to let their brothers endure hardship, but are they willing to stand aside and watch their brothers drive Land Rover?
So, Ji Weidong has been eating quite well during this period, and he can't complain because Li Xuewu has to explain first that he doesn't eat good food because he's tired of it.
How many people were waiting in line to see him, one asked if he wanted a rocket launcher, another asked if he wanted to buy a directional mine, and some shouted that light machine guns were cheap and they would give away bullets!
Art had seen the hospitality of the Chinese people. Sometimes he didn't even go to the warehouse, he just looked at samples of the goods and handed over the money.
He has visited so many units, seen so many warehouses and samples, and is very familiar with the working methods in the mainland.
One is one, and two is two. Let's say a hundred rifles, it will never be too many, and it will never be too few.
All the goods were of very good quality. He unbelievingly opened many boxes in the warehouse, and in the end he and his assistant were as tired as dogs.
When I saw Ji Weidong, I asked why, why the quality of weapons in the mainland is so well controlled.
Ji Weidong told him that it was because the people who produced these rifles knew that the fruits of their labor would be delivered to their children.
To defraud the organization is to defraud oneself. No one has such evil intentions and deliberately produces defective products.
If you want to say that the overall quality of the weapons is not good enough at this time, there is nothing you can do about it.
This is not something that can be controlled by human efforts at all, but depends entirely on the progress and development of comprehensive technology and strength.
The fact that the sniper rifles of the Steel Rolling Mill were copied and produced so quickly was due to the expertise of the Light Weapons Institute and the Steel Rolling Mill's background in the machinery and steel business.
Not to mention imitating sniper rifles, even imitating tank rolling mills is not a problem.
To put it simply, there is no need to study chain rails, as they are now being produced by steel rolling mills.
Li Xuewu also listened to Ji Weidong's bragging, and then reminded him that the situation in the mainland was unstable and he was already angry enough. He should leave as soon as possible.
Ji Weidong also confirmed this, knowing that he had made enough money and it was time to go back to do serious things.
That's why I showed up at Li Xuewu's place to say goodbye to him.
There was only a bottle of wine at the dinner table, but he talked a lot, mainly about the development of Hong Kong City's business.
With the support of Ng Fung Bank, where her mother worked, and the care of the newspaper office where her father worked, although Oriental Times Bank was reorganized by acquiring bankrupt banks and banks, its strength recovered quickly and developed rapidly.
Its Port-au-Prince, shipping, real estate, commerce, entertainment and other businesses have expanded and developed rapidly in the abnormally prosperous environment of the port city.
Especially in banking business, looking at its name and development strength, we know that Oriental Times has the ability to resist risks. Therefore, even though it does not have more business outlets than other banks, its ability to attract deposits is gradually increasing.
Banks that mainly engage in commercial business actually don't pay much attention to the savings business and just develop it step by step.
But it was unintentional. Because of the success of Oriental Times Bank in business, each holding company and investment company made a lot of money, and depositors trusted it even more.
Just think about it, how can a bank that is constantly making profits fail? As long as it is supported by real estate, banks will not fail.
Ji Weidong said that the real estate industry in Hong Kong City is picking up, and Lou Xiaoe is ready to give it a try. All the properties of her modern professional real estate company are only built, not sold, and only rented.
Moreover, this situation is based on the premise that Modern Real Estate continues to requisition land and houses, and it frequently participates in land auctions in Hong Kong City and acquires land many times.
According to Lou Xiao'e's estimation, real estate construction takes time, commercial construction and revitalization also take time, and the creation of key residential plots requires quality space.
Therefore, two years is a good buffer period, during which time you can run your real estate and construction business well.
As for the pressure caused by real estate investment and the lack of returns on operating efficiency, it is not a problem as long as property prices continue to rise.
If property prices double, it means real estate is working for buyers.
Banks are not afraid of rising house prices, nor are they afraid of home buyers making money, but they must take the first step steadily.
The property market in Hong Kong City has just recovered, and we don’t know what will happen.
Especially related to the situation, if something goes wrong, the impact on this industry will be too serious.
The port city is very big, but the port city is also very small. It is so big that there are hordes of multi-millionaires, but it is so small that it cannot afford even a small industry crisis.
In the 1980s, the murder and dismemberment of a taxi driver in Hong Kong City almost wiped out the taxi industry.
In Ji Weidong's words, if you fart at one end of this place, you can smell it at the other end.
