Chapter 475 The power of money, finalizing the channel (7
Regarding Yu Chendong's proposal, Lin Chenpanheng agreed after a while and gave him full responsibility for the negotiations with Huawei.
Before hanging up the phone, Yu Chendong suddenly mentioned something: "Director Lin, there is something you need to think about first. It seems that the island country of high-end panel production lines is embargoed on China. If we can't solve the transportation problem, even if you
Even if we get the production line, we won’t be able to send it to China.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen felt a little worried when he thought about what Yu Chendong said just now.
This was indeed something he had not thought of before.
In Lin Chen's last life, due to the trade war, China was subject to many trade sanctions, and the purchase of many high-tech products was restricted. The Huawei mobile phone that has now fallen into Lin Chen's hands has been repeatedly targeted and is in trouble.
In this life, although the current trade sanctions against China are not that serious, some technological blockades already exist.
The embargo policy against China's high-tech products has been going on for many years.
Xiapu's high-end panel production line is undoubtedly on the embargo list.
This time, Lin Chen was able to seize the opportunity of Kasumigaura's request for help and negotiate the purchase of the production line. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and everything could not be ruined because of an embargo decree.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen started thinking about countermeasures.
The first thing he thought of was naturally the night party club.
But as soon as this idea emerged, Lin Chen felt that it was inappropriate.
Night clubs can be said to be omnipotent in China, but abroad, their power seems to have limits.
Just like Lei Long's passport this time, the other party couldn't get it.
Even passports are like this, and the nightclub is even less likely to help with smuggling.
If this is the case, who among the people he knows can solve his troubles?
Lin Chen took out his mobile phone and opened his address book.
The probability that these people can solve the production line transportation problem for themselves is...
Lin Chen scanned around and then was slightly stunned. He could actually do it?
After a while, Lin Chen called this person's phone number.
It was already approaching night, but on the other side of the ocean, it was morning.
So after the phone rang a few times, the person opposite picked up the phone.
"Hi! My dear Lin, are you here to inquire about the ratings of the latest episode?"
Tang Pu's enthusiastic voice immediately rang from the phone.
That's right, after Lin Chen's calculations, the person who could solve his problem this time was actually the real estate tycoon Tang Pu from across the ocean!
Hearing Tang Pu's words, Lin Chen rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then said: "Mr. Tang Pu, well, tell me about the ratings first."
"Awesome! Did you know that the second episode of "The Apprentice" has already set a record for collections in the same period! Now the country is going crazy about my charisma! You're fired and you're already the most trending on Twitter
That’s right! You and I created a miracle together!”
Lin Chen has now seen that Tang Pu likes to get carried away, which is one of the reasons why many people don't like him.
After silently listening to his compliments, Lin Chen said: "Congratulations to you, Mr. Tang Pu. Remember to maintain your current status and remember what we discussed at the beginning."
"Of course, I will take a look at what we have discussed before each recording, so don't worry!"
After a pause, Tang Pu asked: "So, dear Lin, what else do you want to know? You made a special call to me. You must have something else, right?"
Haha, who said Tang Pu was a fool?
Lin Chen then said: "Mr. Tangpu, I want to know if you know any smuggling methods?"
"Smuggling?" Tang Pu was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, I have some things here that I plan to transport back to China from the island country."
"Lin, can I know what you want to use? It won't be a unique product, right?" Tang Pu couldn't help but worry.
After all, Lin Chen now has a close relationship with his favorite daughter, and he doesn't want his daughter to be associated with a one-man dealer.
"Of course not, they are some embargoed technology items. You know I have my own technology company in China, and I need these things right now." Lin Chen explained.
"That's it..." Tang Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought for a while.
"Lin Chen, you are lucky. I think I may just know someone who can help you! His name is Olof, a Ukrainian immigrant. I met him in a casino in Atlantic City. This person is
An arms dealer has various smuggling channels at his disposal. If it is him, he should have a way to solve your trouble."
"But this person's price may be quite high. I don't know if you can accept it."
"A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Thank you, Mr. Temple. Please give me his contact information."
"good."
Lin Chen wrote down a string of satellite phone numbers, and after saying goodbye to Tang Pu, he immediately called the arms dealer named Olof.
After a while, the call was connected.
To Lin Chen's surprise, the first thing he heard was not a human voice, but a loud sound like an explosion in a movie.
Immediately afterwards, there was the crackling sound of gunfire, and a foreigner's voice with an accent also sounded.
"Hello? Who are you? Why do you have my phone number?"
There was too much noise on the other end of the phone, but Lin Chen could still hear the strong Slavic accent in this person's words.
The probability that the person on the other end of the phone is Olof is... 100%!
"Hello, Mr. Olof, I was introduced by Mr. Temple, who broke the contract." Lin Chen then said: "I have a business here, and Mr. Temple thinks you can help."
"What business?"
"I have a batch of goods that are embargoed by the island country and need to be transported to China without leaving any trace. Is there anything you can do?"
"How heavy is the cargo?" asked Olof.
"Probably more than a hundred tons, maybe a little lighter."
Lin Chen didn't know how heavy a production line would be and could only estimate a number.
After Orlov heard this, he fell into silence. Lin Chen could only hear the sound of gunshots on the phone, ringing continuously, as if the person on the other end of the phone was on a battlefield.
But not long after, Orlov's voice sounded again: "This may require a cargo ship and fifty million US dollars. I can handle everything for you."
The shipping fee is 50 million US dollars. If this price were offered to customers by an ordinary freight company, it would definitely result in a bloody mess.
This fee is higher than the total value of the goods on most freighters. If you dare to ask this price, you are either a madman or a fool.
But for Lin Chen, after hearing this number, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of Tang Pu's words before, he thought that the other party would give an astronomical figure. Unexpectedly, after the actual negotiation, the price offered by the other party was much cheaper than he imagined.
After all, for Orlov, he had to transport a huge production line from the island country to China without anyone noticing. There were a lot of things that needed to be dealt with and solved, and there were a lot of contacts to manage.
Being able to get everything done with fifty million US dollars was enough to make Lin Chen overjoyed.
