Thinking of this, Lin Zhensong smiled and said: "Mr. David is so courageous, so I won't bargain. I'll just take fifteen boxes at this price."
But when I came here today, Lin didn’t bring anyone or money with me, and I wanted to ask Mr. David to send the things over. The money will be ready for Mr. David when the time comes.”
After hearing this, David smiled and said: "Hey... what are you talking about, Boss Lin? I am the one who delivers the goods, so why not bother me? Just prepare the money, Boss Lin."
Next to Lin Zhensong, Lu Jingde was making plans in his mind. Seeing that Lin Zhensong had finished talking, he immediately said to David: "Mr. David, I will also guarantee 10%. See if you can also give me this discount."
What’s the price?”
When David heard this, he smiled and said: "It's easy to talk about, but I didn't expect Boss Lu to be so generous and give Boss Lu this price."
After saying that, David looked at Deng Wenru on the side and asked: "Boss Deng, I wonder if I will guarantee 10% today?"
Hearing this, Deng Wenru glanced at Lu Jingde depressedly and said: "Since we two old brothers have bought it, I will risk my life to follow it today. Mr. David, please give me 10%!
Send it to my business as well."
Seeing this, David's face was full of smiles. Although he knew that these silver bricks would definitely be sold, he really didn't expect them to be so popular, and he sold 30% of them in just a short time.
Looking at David with a smile on his face, Lin Zhensong said with a smile: "Mr. David, seeing that you are so happy, you must make a lot of money this time, right?"
"Where is it..." David waved his hand and said: "The price given to the three of you is already very favorable. It has almost caught up with the international silver price. Excluding the shipping fee, it is just hard-earned money."
That's what David said, but based on his unconcealable joy, everyone knew that he must have made a lot of money.
David did make a lot of money. Although the price he gave was indeed very close to the international silver price, he did not buy the goods at this price. He got these silver bricks directly from the silver factory.
In recent years, due to the poor trend of silver prices, which once fell below 3 cents per ounce, many silver factories have accumulated a lot of inventory.
Because the price of silver never went up, these people wanted to sell it cheaply, but not many people were willing to take over. As soon as the incident in Shanghai came out, David realized the demand for silver in Shanghai and immediately took action. Before those people got the news, he
Sweep away a large amount of inventory at a price lower than the market price.
Of course, David alone is definitely not that powerful. He is just a person who organizes the game, and there must be other financial backers behind him. Otherwise, he would not be able to attract so many powerful people at once.
After David dealt with the insinuations of Lin Zhensong and the others, he went on to recruit Boss Yu and others. Here, another 30% of his silver bricks were ordered away.
At this time, not even half of the silver bricks were left. The remaining people immediately became anxious and surrounded David. They asked you how many boxes I had and ordered the entire shipload of silver bricks in no time.
Those who had booked silver bricks were all smiles, but those who had not booked were unhappy. David had no choice but to pacify them quickly, and finally booked the next ship to appease the others.
Seeing that nothing happened, Lin Zhensong and the other three declined David's invitation to a cocktail party. They got off the boat and looked for the phone. They made arrangements individually and then got into Lin Zhensong's car together.
As soon as he got in the car, Deng Wenru couldn't help complaining to Lin Zhensong: "Old Lin, you are too unkind. Didn't you say you have no money? Why did you buy so much right away? I was not prepared at all."
Lin Zhensong listened and said with a smile: "These are the funds prepared to open the factory. How can we not leave some money to build the factory and purchase materials when we open the factory? Anyway, the money is idle, so it can be used for investment.
.”
After hearing this, Deng Wenru didn't believe Lin Zhensong's explanation and continued to ask: "Old Lin, then you are not afraid of losing money?"
"Losing money? Old Deng, this is money! Even if we lose money, how much can we lose? Even if the international price of silver falls, it won't have much impact on us.
The country still uses silver as its currency, and the international silver price has fallen. As long as we don't exchange silver for foreign currency, we can still buy the same things at home as before.
Anyway, I don’t do import business anymore. I don’t need to exchange foreign currency. The drop in international silver prices won’t have much impact on me.
Besides, you don’t believe me and I don’t believe in the old way? He is usually the most accurate and the loudest in calculating. He is so generous this time. How big a chance do you think, Old Deng, of losing money?"
After hearing this, Deng Wenru felt depressed and complained: "I should have said this earlier! You don't do import business, but most of mine are import business!"
Besides, if you open a factory, the raw materials for the machinery will still have to be imported from abroad? What will you do if you exchange the foreign currency for silver and watch the price of silver fall?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhensong and Lu Jingde looked at each other and replied in unison: "Let's increase the price..."
"Haha..." After saying that, the two laughed a few times, and Lin Zhensong explained: "Old Deng, the drop in silver prices will not have a big impact on our future business.
You see, in recent years, the international silver price has been falling, and Laolu's business has been doing better and bigger, while our import business has shrunk a lot.
What I am worried about is whether the rise in international silver prices will affect our business. I am hoarding more silver now to reduce some losses if this happens."
After Lin Zhensong finished speaking, before Deng Wenru could speak, Lu Jingde said: "I haven't considered this issue. It seems that I need to stock up more!"
Hearing this, Deng Wenru couldn't help but asked Lu Jingde: "Lao Lu, how much money do you have on hand? That 10% just spent more than 200,000 US dollars in banknotes, you still have some
foreign currency?"
Lu Jingde listened and said with a smile: "I have spent almost all the banknotes, but I still have an ocean in my hand! I am going to exchange the ocean into silver bricks."
"Dayang, why did you exchange it for it? Isn't it also silver?"
Lu Jingde heard this and explained: "Silver bricks are much better than the ocean. The big chunks are not only easier to count than the ocean, but also more convenient to transport. The silver content is also higher than the ocean. If necessary, they can be cast into the ocean."
, make a fortune from it.”
After hearing this explanation, Deng Wenru finally remembered that Lu Jingde, a tough guy, would always count the money. Good guy, after all, isn't it just for your convenience?
Deng Wenru didn't want to continue talking with Lu Jingde. After thinking carefully for a moment, he turned to Lin Zhensong and said: "Old Lin, according to what you just said, the international silver price will fall from now on, which will be good for your future business.
If the international silver price rises, it’s good for me! Then shouldn’t we do the exact opposite?”
After hearing this, Lin Zhensong nodded and said, "That's pretty much it. On this matter, our strategies cannot be consistent."
Hearing this, Deng Wenru frowned and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Old Lin, can you eat my silver bricks? Now I don't want to get involved in this matter."
Lin Zhensong listened and advised: "Old Deng, I advise you to think more about it. Let me tell you straight! I bought silver bricks to avoid the risk of rising silver prices.
Over the years, the international silver price has remained at a low level. At this time, the price of silver cannot fall much further. On the contrary, it is more likely to rise.
If you hold silver, it will not have much impact on your import business. You can even make a profit if the price of silver rises.
Of course, I am not encouraging you to continue the import business. You all know what happened to me here, so you should make plans early."
After Lin Zhensong finished speaking, the car stopped. Lin Zhensong looked outside and saw that he had arrived at his destination.
"Okay, Lao Deng, think about it more, let's go in and continue talking."
After Lin Zhensong finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out of the car. In front of him was a quaintly decorated teahouse. Lin Zhensong went in first. After giving a few instructions at the counter, the three of them went upstairs together and entered the private room.
As soon as he entered the room, Deng Wenru couldn't help but asked Lin Zhensong: "Old Lin, do you mean those people will also attack me?"
"Why not? Who doesn't know the profits of your fur business? How could those people not be tempted? Besides, from the looks of those people, it's obvious that they want to monopolize the import business. Those of us doing this business may all suffer.
"
At this point, Lin Zhensong lowered his voice and continued: "Old Deng, you have been in the fur business. Do you know the situation of rabbit skins in Australia?"
Hearing this, Deng Wenru frowned, thought for a moment, and replied: "I know a little bit. I bought it once before. The price was okay, but the quality was not that good. I haven't touched it again since."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhensong informed Deng Wenru of the situation he had obtained from Lin Mo.
After hearing this, Deng Wenru was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. After a while, he said: "You mean, this kind of rabbit skin is equivalent to giving it away for free there, and there are so many of them that they can't be counted?"
Lin Zhensong listened, nodded, and said: "Yes, that's it, and there are people in the country who are already targeting you, so you don't have much chance to intervene now."
After listening to this, Deng Wenru was silent for a long time, and then asked with an ugly face: "Old Lin, the person you are talking about is not you, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhensong explained: "The Lin family did have a hand in it, but it is not the Lin family that is in charge, but someone else. It is better not to provoke Lao Deng.
Moreover, this business is mainly engaged in low-end leather goods business, and the impact on your business is actually not great. Your troubles mainly come from Seven Star Company. What I said before was not a joke at all."
Hearing this, Deng Wenru's face was a little uncertain. After a while, he asked: "Old Lin, am I going to give up so many years of business so easily? Don't I have any way to resist?
I have been in this business for so many years, and I have accumulated enough connections. Many foreign fur traders only recognize me, and I don’t believe that I can’t compete with those people.”
