Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

In his previous life, Bao Zixuan was very familiar with the Russian aviation industry, and his Russian was very good. He directly said to the two of them in Russian: "Any company is welcome to add some customers, but how are we going to do business? After all, I have never worked with your company before. I have done business and don’t know how to operate it. It would be bad if there are any misunderstandings in the process.”

Andrei was very happy to hear that Bao Zixuan spoke Russian. Said: "Mr. Bao didn't expect that your Russian is so good. Then our communication will be smoother. This is the prerequisite for any good cooperation."

"We hope to trade goods in exchange for goods. We must determine the price for both parties, and of course it must be approved by both parties. You can get any goods from the Soviet Union, including weapons, oil, steel and other resources. These are all very popular in the world. The product."

The FBI agent nearby was very nervous when he heard this. After all, this involved the issue of Bao Zixuan's tendency. They also want to see what the Soviets have in mind for this young genius who is also a billionaire. At this time, he heard that he could exchange his Walkman and game console for weapons. If Bao Zixuan didn't answer well, he would definitely stay in the dark room for a while.

Bao Zixuan: "Forget about weapons and oil. I'm a businessman and I don't want to be an arms dealer. It's useless for me to ask for weapons, but I am somewhat interested in these two things from your country."

"I know that your country seized a lot of German industrial equipment during World War II, including a large number of machine tools. Almost all of these 30-year-old equipment were put in warehouses by your country. I need these now. If It's okay to put them in the trading list. I have just traded a batch with Rheinmetall. Due to the restrictions in Batumi, although Xiangjiang is better than your country, it does not have access to the most advanced industrial equipment, and ordinary CNC machine tools It may not be better than what was produced in Germany back then. You can give me everything in the warehouse. If the price of the game console is not enough, we can compensate it in cash."

"The other one is titanium alloy. You know that our Heiyun products will launch many limited editions of titanium alloy! But there are only two countries in the world with large amounts of titanium metal resources, and your country is the country that produces the most titanium alloys."

"I don't need too much, and I don't need to be too strong. I just need to meet the general requirements. After all, I don't produce airplanes or submarines, and your country's factories can produce good titanium alloy plates for me. That kind cannot be used twice." There is no problem with smelting. And my usage of titanium alloy can be reported to any agency in your country. They can supervise whether I use the titanium alloy purchased from the Soviet Union to produce weapons and sell it to other countries."

"As for the rest, to be honest, I really don't dare to ask for it. How much oil can I put in my car? I'm not going to fight in weapons. I'm only interested in industrial products."

"If possible, I will trade with you at 1.2 times the price of titanium alloy in the international market. After all, this is a strategic resource. And every titanium alloy product of Heiyun will be sky-high, such as the titanium alloy version of the Walkman you see. It costs 3 rubles, which is equivalent to 2 months’ salary of an ordinary worker, or even more.”

Andre: "We know your conditions. The old German machine tools are fine, but for the titanium alloy, I need to ask Moscow for instructions before I can reply to you. How should we set the price?"

Bao Zixuan: "I'm not a good negotiator, but you can reduce the price appropriately by referring to our prices and Rheinmetall's. After all, Rheinmetall's machine tools have been in use and are well maintained. My business is win-win or even win-win, and I will never To lower the price of a partner, for example, I take the initiative to raise the price of titanium alloy, because I will make more money when the titanium alloy is in my hands, so that the supplier can also make more business so that the business can last long."

Bao Zixuan knew that the Soviet Union exchanged weapons for Coca-Cola in the previous life, but he never expected that this would almost happen to him.

When the Soviets left, Bao Zixuan gave them two Walkmans, the titanium alloy version, saying they were samples. Just this ratio is enough, and tell them the ratio of half titanium and half aluminum.

At this time, in the office of the president of MIT, the head of the FBI Boston branch and President Johnson were chatting about some issues, and everyone even started to quarrel.

Principal Johansson: "If you want to ask, you must ask in my office. It is impossible for me to let you take away the best students without any evidence. That will have a great impact on the school."

In fact, Bao Zixuan has become a business card of MIT students. Many young people applied for the exam because of his success here, and they were taken away by the FBI at will. In that case, the school also has a great responsibility.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, the principal's assistant came over and said that the principal was looking for him and whispered to him that someone from the FBI was in the principal's office.

When we arrived at the principal's office, Principal Johnson and a middle-aged man were talking inside. After saying hello, the middle-aged man began to ask questions.

Bao Zixuan repeated what he had said to the Soviets, and also told him that he refused to exchange weapons for Walkmans and game consoles. The head of the FBI Boston was very interested when he heard that titanium alloys could be exchanged for the Soviets. After all, this is a strategic material that the United States has to pay a high price to obtain.

Bao Zixuan directly said that even if the Soviets agreed, industrial production would be carried out under supervision, and the purity would be very low. The kind that cannot be smelted twice. He didn't want to be stuck between two big countries, something would happen sooner or later.

Andrei, who returned to the embassy, ​​immediately reported to the country. The top officials in Moscow saw that it was so simple and that they wanted to take advantage of the Soviet Union without asking businessmen from other countries. They quickly received a reply and agreed to Heiyun's request. And can be traded at any time.

Andre came over the next day and signed a contract with Bao Zixuan. Bao Zixuan told him that the first batch of 10,000 game consoles and 50,000 Walkmans would be shipped within three days and would arrive in about 10 days. Vladivostok. People from Heiyun Company will go to the Soviet Union to inspect the machinery and equipment they need when the ship sets off. Then trade in the port of Vladivostok.

The Dong family in Xiangjiang are currently in charge of all the shipping business of Heiyun, but now they are looking at the freight order form given by Heiyun with some embarrassment. Germany wants to use ships, the United States wants to use ships, and now even the Soviet Union wants to use ships. Moreover, the freight volume of the Soviet Union is particularly large.

Feeling pain and happiness, Dong Haoyun convened a meeting with the management and finally decided to give up some orders from customers with bad reputation. The day after he decided to give up, a client who had been working with the Dong family for more than 20 years came to Dong Haoyun's office.

The customer he found is a grain businessman named Li Fuwang, who is 58 years old this year. He mainly purchases grain in Southeast Asia and transports it back to Xiangjiang.

Li Fuwang: "Old director, we are old friends. Why do you say that if you don't do business with me, you won't do business? I have been in a bit of trouble recently, but don't you have any difficulties? When I get over this period, I will definitely pay the freight. I’ll make it up for you.”

Dong Haoyun: "Old Li, the people below are allocating the ships. I'm older now, so I just need to see how much money I can make every month. I don't care about the rest, but I won't cooperate with customers who often default on freight. I know it, and I agreed at the meeting. After all, the company’s ships are a bit busy, but I can’t say anything now, after all, changing orders from day to day is not conducive to the development of the company!”

In the end, Li Fuwang tried all his tricks, but Dong Haoyun still didn't let go. He had to pay all the shipping costs before cooperating again. In this way, the Dong family lost some customers, but the entire company recovered the shipping costs.

The Dong family's approach suddenly caused Xiangjiang shipping companies to work hard to recover freight, and soon many companies that often defaulted on freight were found. Cooperation with the Dong family has become a benchmark for good companies, and the public has recognized it, and the stock has risen a lot. Many big companies are vying to cooperate with it. This makes several other freight companies very inexplicable.

Bao Yugang didn't know what was going on now. After all, today was the second time that his old friend, who had been working with him for many years, said that he would give part of the business to the Dong family. Otherwise, your company will not be able to sustain itself.

After receiving the call from Bao Yugang, Dong Haoyun said that it was the customer's own choice. After all, I have already been fooled once. Be yourself, and there will be no shortage of customers. This is the creed of Heiyun Company, but I didn’t expect that it would also apply to shipping companies. Dong Haoyun finally said it.

The Charter King was confused and had no clue. In the end, we can only reduce some shipping costs to impress customers.

Bao Zixuan didn't know that while buying and scrapping machine tools around the world to increase the Dong family's freight volume, it also hit some irregular companies in Xiangjiang. He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
