Chunjiang is a port city with a large container terminal, so there are many companies in Chunjiang engaged in import and export trade, taking advantage of the unique geographical advantages to make profits.
For example, this is the case with Ruijing Group, the predecessor of Haiqing Group. Before it was brought under Qin Hai's name, Ruijing Group had a large part of its business engaged in import and export trade. With Qin Hai and Lin Qingya taking over, Ruijing Group also
Many customers from the Avon period were brought into Haiqing Group, so today's Haiqing Group's import and export trade volume is even much larger than that during the Avon period.
For today's Haiqing Group, after Lin Qingya's drastic reforms, the current main profit point is actually the import and export trade. Real estate development is still in its infancy, and it is too early to talk about profits. The skin care product sector has also just encountered adversity.
It is hard to say whether a comeback can be successful, and other projects have not improved much, so the sudden problems in import and export are indeed very fatal.
Liu Qingmei knew the situation of Haiqing Group very well, so after hearing what Lin Qingya said, he couldn't help but frown slightly and said: "Without further delay, you guys go back quickly and find out what is going on first, and then
Call me."
Qin Hai and Lin Qingya nodded, got off Liu Qingmei's Audi, and drove quickly back to the Haiqing Group headquarters.
As soon as Lin Qingya and Qin Hai entered the office, the person in charge of the foreign trade department walked into Lin Qingya's office and reported to them the details of the entire incident.
"Chairman, Mr. Lin, the current situation is like this. The customs said that a batch of ivory was found in our container. They will seize our goods in accordance with relevant laws, and they will also conduct an investigation. How to punish them depends on the results of the investigation.
Let’s talk about it after we get out.”
"Minister Li, if I remember correctly, there is no ivory in our batch, right?" Lin Qingya asked with a frown.
"Indeed not. This batch of goods is mainly minerals imported from Africa. There is absolutely no ivory. Look, this is our customs declaration document. There is no ivory on it."
Minister Li placed a copy of the customs declaration documents on Lin Qingya's desk.
Lin Qingya read the customs declaration documents carefully and continued to ask: "Approximately how much ivory is there?"
"The customs refused to disclose the details. Later, I asked a friend to find out more about it. The quantity was relatively large, 30 kilograms."
Qin Hai asked: "How many containers are we impounded in total?"
"Five!" Minister Li replied respectfully, "This batch of goods was entrusted by Changfeng Mining Group to import from Africa. It is also our first cooperation with Changfeng Group. According to the agreement, if this cooperation goes smoothly, Changfeng Group will
Consider identifying our company as a long-term partner of their group. If they cannot receive the minerals in time due to our fault, we will not only have to bear all the losses, but also pay double the losses to Changfeng Group."
Qin Hai frowned, "Double loss is too much."
A layer of sweat immediately broke out on Minister Li's forehead. He wanted to wipe it but did not dare to wipe it. He was afraid that Qin Hai would blame him for not negotiating a good contract with Changfeng Group.
"I have read the contract with Changfeng Group, and there is no problem." Lin Qingya took over the conversation and explained the basic situation of the import and export industry to Qin Hai, "Double compensation is indeed a bit much, but in our Chunjiang
There are too many companies engaged in import and export trade, and some of them are even stronger than ours. If you don't do this, others will take your business away, and there is nothing you can do about it."
Minister Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly added: "Changfeng Group imports more than 50 million U.S. dollars in minerals from abroad every year. If we can achieve long-term cooperation with their company, it will be very beneficial to our company."
Qin Hai knew a little about import and export when he first joined the Avon Group. At that time, he signed a big order with Sihai Company under the Bai family, but that was also an accident. In fact, he knew a lot about import and export trade.
Don't know much about this area.
Qin Hai nodded and said, "It's okay. I don't really understand. So I'm asking a few more questions. It doesn't mean that you didn't do your job well."
After saying that, he said to Lin Qingya: "Qingya, what do you think we should do now?"
Lin Qingya frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "It's so strange what happened. We won't smuggle it, that's for sure, and it's impossible for Africa to put so much ivory in a container for no reason.
Otherwise, their losses will be too great, and we have been cooperating with our partners in Africa for a long time, so they should not harm us in this way."
Minister Li said: "After receiving the news, I confirmed it with the African side as soon as possible. According to them, there was absolutely no ivory put into our containers."
"That's right, so there are two most important things now." Lin Qingya ordered: "Minister Li, you continue to communicate with the customs, and you must repeatedly emphasize that the ivory is not ours. Another point, call the police immediately and ask the police
Intervene and help us figure out where these ivory came from and how they were put into our container. If we can get evidence, this matter will be easier to handle."
Minister Li nodded and immediately left.
After the door was closed, Lin Qingya leaned on the chair and frowned: "It's really strange that something like this happened. If those ivory tusks were not put in Africa, they could only be released after entering the customs."
We went in, but the possibility of this happening is so slim, it’s really unbelievable.”
Qin Hai stood up and walked behind Lin Qingya, giving her a head massage while saying: "Don't worry too much. Since you have decided to call the police, let's wait until the police investigation has the results. Many incredible things can happen in this world.
, so I didn’t find it strange at all.”
Lin Qingya's heart moved and she asked: "Do you also think someone is deliberately harming us?"
"Didn't you make it very clear just now? If no one intentionally harmed us, then the ivory got into the container out of thin air on its own." Qin Hai bent down and hugged Lin Qingya, talking to her face to face.
Lin Qingya pushed him and said angrily: "It's already this time and you are still distracted, so go and sit down quickly!"
"Do you want me to go to the customs and take a look?" Qin Hai continued to say close to Lin Qingya's face, "I don't want to see you worrying about this matter."
"You'd better not go. Customs is not an ordinary place. You haven't dealt with them before. If you don't handle it well, it will make things worse." Lin Qingya turned to Qin Hai and smiled, "I know you care.
I, but I can handle this matter myself, so just leave it alone, okay?"
"You can leave me alone, but you have to kiss me!" Qin Hai pouted.
Lin Qingya rolled her eyes at the guy angrily, and had no choice but to close her eyes and kiss Qin Hai gently on the mouth, then kissed Qin Hai shyly, as if she had stolen something hidden by her mother.
