When he came to Sokil this time, in addition to those commodities, Li Yuan also brought more than 110,000 US dollars. Of which 100,000 US dollars were remitted through a British bank in Hong Kong. Because there are also British banks here, remittances are more convenient.
In addition, I also carried more than 10,000 US dollars in cash with me. This money was kept as a reserve fund.
So, even if Li Yuan wanted to come up with $500,000, he couldn't do it at all?
"Yin Wan, most of the goods I brought this time are daily necessities, many of which are also in short supply in your country. I can use these goods to pay you and give you a preferential price. I can also pay for the shortfall.
Pay part of the US dollars. But the number around me is not much, the most is 80,000?"
In fact, it is very similar to Sokil. What the former Soviet Union lacks are daily necessities and small commodities. This time, Li Yuan mainly brought cosmetics and daily chemical products, not many clothes, shoes and hats. This is because they are light in weight and high in value, so they can save money.
A little shipping fee.
Don’t really think that there is no demand for cosmetics and daily chemical products in poor places. On the contrary, the demand for low-end products is particularly strong. Everyone has a love for beauty, just like the women in Li Yuan’s family, who still want to buy one if they don’t have money.
Bottle of cream.
Therefore, it is entirely possible to barter and conclude this deal.
Yin Wan frowned slightly: "Discount price? How much discount can you give?"
Li Yuan took out the product catalog that had been prepared beside him. He smiled and said: "Let's do it! You can ask domestically, I guarantee you can make more than double the profit. Also, these are not Western international brands, so the prices
The quality is only a fraction of theirs. But the ones I picked are all well-known domestic brands. You should know that we are a country with a large population, so the number of users of these brands may exceed 100 million! The quality can be completely guaranteed. And
It won’t be much worse than Western brands. Of course, if women want to compare themselves to vanity? There’s nothing I can do about it.”
Yin Wan's heart moved, but it was not impossible to discuss.
Those military supplies cannot be brought back at all. Even if they are brought back, they are the property of the national army and need to be filed and stored in the warehouse. They have nothing to do with Yin Wan and the others.
But as soon as it changes hands, it becomes personal extra money. You just use part of it to manage it. And you can borrow military ships to transport it back to the country, even saving transportation costs?
More importantly, there is not much time left for them. In a short period of time, it is almost impossible to find another buyer.
Raising the catalog in his hand, Yin Wan asked: "Li, can you let me go back to discuss it? I need to get the unanimous consent of others. But please don't worry, it won't take too long."
"No problem." Li Yuan's attitude towards this business is that he will be happy if it succeeds, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed. So he just wants to be a good person and stick to it. "Yin Wan, I'll leave you a Hong Kong company and their phone number. It's okay if it doesn't work this time."
It doesn't matter. If you need anything after you return to China, you can also contact the Hong Kong company. What do you need? Including what do we need? You can sit down and talk."
"Thank you. Thank you very much!" Yin Wan was silent for a while, and then he suddenly asked without giving up, "Li, is the situation in our country really that bad?"
Li Yuan hesitated for a few seconds and decided to tell the truth: "Yin Wan, my friend, you must be mentally prepared, it's worse than you imagined. I'm extremely sorry!"
"well--!"
"..."
Watching Yin Wan's back go away, as if it was an illusion, his figure shrank completely in a circle, making Li Yuan sigh.
In fact, the hard days for Yin Wan and others are still to come.
From now on, in order to keep the huge military-industrial complex obedient, Ye Jiugui will directly block the military expenditures of the Russian army and even cut off power to the nuclear weapons base? Do you believe it?
However, Lao Maozi's army is not easy to mess with. They directly sell goods to sellers and dare to sell out anything. Anyway, they just break up.
When the empire collapses, what can individuals do?
…
Early the next morning, Yin Wan received good news. They agreed to the barter deal, hoping to increase the cash amount to US$100,000...
Five days later, the cargo ship carrying the container arrived at the port of Sokil. Through the freight forwarding company, together with the two previous air containers, all the goods were delivered to the warehouse of ys (Africa) Trading and Investment Company...
On the sixth and seventh days, Yin Wan led people to pick up all the goods they needed, and handed over the three warehouses in the base to Li Yuan. In addition to the agreed supplies, Yin Wan also presented many miscellaneous items.
stuff as a way of expressing gratitude. What surprised Li Yuan was that they actually left a lot of guns and ammunition...
On the eighth day, I went to the dock to bid farewell to Yin Wan and others. The military base was also all returned to the government of the Republic of Vera. Through Harden's introduction, the three warehouses were divided into independent areas, and the perimeter was manned by Ministry of National Defense soldiers.
Standing guard for protection. This saves Li Yuan the trouble of moving back and forth, but at the same time he pays an annual rent of US$8,000...
Day 10. Through the introduction of the employment agency, ys (Africa) has recruited more than a dozen local employees. After a short training, all employees officially opened today...
…
In the store, the employees are busy. These young black men and women basically cherish this job, because their income has reached the local middle-to-high income level - about 2,000 CFA francs.
At present, the CFA franc is still bound to the exchange rate of the franc. 100 CFA francs are exchanged for 2 francs. Ahem. It is not like after 1994, when the exchange rate began to float and the franc became the euro, the CFA franc depreciated at the speed of light.
But having said that, since most locals’ income is in the more elusive Vila dollar, being able to get the “stronger” CFA franc is equivalent to an extra bonus every month.
"Yuanzi, I wonder if flashlights are easy to sell?" Qian Yong was still worried while waiting for the door to open.
Li Yuan shook his head angrily. He was really going to be defeated by Qian Yong. Can't you be as neurotic as Zhang Xi? With just his gestures, he could circle around the pretty black girl in the foreman's circle like a fly.
?
"Yuanzi, if we can't sell it, our family's eight years of hard work will be ruined. Alas—!"
"Okay." Li Yuan was exasperated. It was still eight years of the war of resistance. "Brother Yong, you have to think like this. The Hong Kong company has already paid for the shipping and management fees for us, so don't worry about it. Those medicines sold,
It turned out to be a gift, so it's like picking it up. We have already made back the cost. The rest is up to God, right?"
"Oh! God!" Qian Yong looked up at the sky, "Wait a moment, don't rush to open the door. I'm going to offer three sticks of incense to God. No, no, we have to go together!"
