Chapter 854 - Benefits of Door-to-Door Delivery
When Kelly Hicks, who finally digested the news and figured out how much money she could raise, told Statham, Lalafort and others the news, Statham and other veterans who followed Chen Geng at the earliest......
"Miss Hicks, you're not kidding, are you?"
"Boss allowed us to be partners in his business in the USSR?"
Some are incredulous, while others are full of hope: "God, I feel like I've got my chance to become a multi-millionaire." β
Some people even began to pray to God: "Thank God, thank the boss, God bless the boss, he is the kindest and most righteous person in the world......"
............
"Quiet, quiet," in the face of the noisy crowd, Kelly Hicks had to desperately signal everyone to be quiet: "Gentlemen, first of all, please rest assured, this is what the boss said to me personally, and there will be no mistake, so instead of doubting the accuracy of the news, you should think about how much money you can raise...... Believe me, doing business with the boss will definitely make you a lot of money!"
Right, right......
was reminded by Kelly Hicks, and everyone reacted: Now is not the time to be happy, when the opportunity to get rich comes, how to grasp the opportunity is the most important.
It didn't matter what he was planning, and everyone suddenly wailed.
It must be said that Chen Geng is very good to Statham and other Vietnam veterans who followed him at the earliest, and each of them now has an annual salary of more than $100,000 after tax, and in this era when the per capita income of the United States is less than $15,000, the income of Statham and others belongs to a proper super high salary.
But Statham, like the Americans of this era, had no concept of saving at all, and spent money when they had it, buying a house, a car, expensive clothes and watches, a bigger house and a car...... So much so that at this moment, when there was an opportunity to make a lot of money sent to the door, Statham and others were stunned to find that they didn't have much capital at all.
What to do?
Statham and the others were anxious, if there was no such opportunity to make a fortune, it would be fine, but now, the opportunity to make a fortune is in front of them, but they can't grasp it - they can't forgive themselves for missing this opportunity.
I don't have money, and I don't want to miss such an opportunity to make a fortune, what should I do?
What else can be done, of course, is to borrow money from the bank.
Call his wife, use the house as collateral, and borrow money from the bank;
Only one of the cheapest cars in the family is kept, and the rest are all sold;
I also managed to sell all kinds of watches and other luxury goods that I had bought at a great price......
In short, except for the money that is necessary for life, everything else is exchanged for cash.
In addition to this, Statham and others also showed their talents, raising funds through various channels such as friends, and in order to convince their friends, they even promised that the money they earned in the future (the part of the money provided by the friends) could be divided into one-third to one-quarter of the friends......
Statham and others made such a big move, of course, it was impossible to hide from Rosemary and Helen Mirren and other people who followed Chen Geng and are still in the United States, even if it was Rosemary, who is now a rich woman worth tens of millions, but after hearing that there was such an opportunity to make a fortune, he was also moved, and specially called Chen Geng to ask if they could also participate?
Everyone understands that if you only go to the Soviet Union as an assistant to the boss and a personal bodyguard, it is one thing, but if you enter the Soviet Union as a business partner of Mr. FernΓ‘ndez, it is another...... Danger is the only way to make a lot of money, isn't it, as long as there is enough money to be made, danger is never a problem.
Of course, Chen Geng has no opinion, it doesn't make sense that Statham and other big bosses can make money with him, but Helen Mirren, Rosemary and others cannot.
For Chen Geng, the main problem now is Huaxia's attitude: if you want to do this business, some goods must be purchased from Huaxia, and without the acquiescence and even support of the Huaxia government, this business cannot be done at all. And Chen Geng actually knew very well in his heart that doing business with the Soviets was not the most important, what mattered was that he would become a person who could speak in China, the United States, and the Soviet Union, and could help him contact the other party's high-level when necessary, which was the most important thing.
Huaxia was surprised and delighted by this incident.
What I was surprised to expect was that not only the Americans valued Chen Geng, but now even the Soviets actually attached such importance to Chen Geng; what really pleased the top level of China was that there was a stable and reliable channel of communication with the top level of the Soviet Union.
Although as early as 1982, the then supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Leonid Brezhnev, had already released a signal of easing relations with China, and the Chinese side also gave a positive response, but until Goetz came to power last year, the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations has actually been carried out quite slowly. The factor of unofficial communication channels that both sides trust also accounts for a significant proportion, and now, this channel has come.
Compared with the establishment of such a reliable unofficial communication channel with the Soviet Union, allowing Chen Geng to purchase a certain amount of materials from China every year for trade with the Soviet Union, it is really not a matter, not to mention that Chen Geng's large purchases are actually conducive to stimulating the development of the domestic economy.
Of course, in view of the current relationship between China and the Soviet Union, the Chinese side demanded that Chen Geng not directly engage in Sino-Soviet trade, and in terms of procedure, these commodities were not traded between China and the Soviet Union.
Chen Geng understands!
At this time, a trading company arranged by Chen Geng, which had just been established in Thailand and had nothing to do with Chen Geng on the surface, played an important role.
As for the White House, it's even simpler, for the plan that has been implemented for more than 20 years and has entered the final stage of closing the net, Chen Geng's appearance made the White House jump on the spot: God bless the United States......
It's just that after all, this is something that no one has ever done before, even with the support and acquiescence of the two governments, it is a lot of trouble to operate, so when the two officials of China and the United States have done it separately and everything is ready, the time has come to the end of March 1987.
"Mr. Kholmdorov, how is it?" Chen Geng pointed to the 30,000-ton sea ship in the port and showed off to Alexander Kholmdorov: "This is only the first batch of goods, which is tentative, and if this cooperation is satisfactory, I guarantee that at least 100 such ships can be filled with all kinds of goods sent to the Soviet Union every year!"
Looking at the sea ship in the port, which was loaded with more than 200 containers of various materials and more than 30,000 tons of cargo, Alexander Holmdorov couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and finally nodded convincingly: "Mr. Fernandez, I admit that you are indeed a big man with considerable influence in China and the United States. β
Things can't be faked, and being able to raise so many and such abundant materials in so much time is not something that ordinary people can do.
Alexander Holmdorov is well aware of what is inside these cargoes:
High grade liquor, sausages, clothing, shoes and hats, grey cloth, towels from China......
Large-screen color TVs, VCRs, and sound systems from Toei......
Frozen sausages, computers, wheat, fashionable and beautiful clothes and shoes from the United States......
Perfumes, women's purses, and all kinds of expensive cosmetics from Europe......
Of course, the most important thing is the 100 AMC and JEEP off-road vehicles and cars located on the ground floor of the warehouse.
"I know a lot of influential people in the United States and China, and they are all very powerful, really big people, and for these friends of mine, it's all a small thing. β
Chen Geng looked at Alexander Holmdorov with a proud face, he knew very well what kind of attitude should be used to deal with Lao Maozi, an American, not arrogant, not bragging, not nostrils, you are embarrassed to call yourself an American? Now Chen Geng is almost holding a thick cigar in his hand: "Mr. Holmdorov, I know that you are disciplined and can't do many things, but I think that your department should not mind giving some benefits to your brothers in this department, right?"
Alexander Kholmdorov's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"
"I think we can cooperate," Chen Geng said, "I mean, I cooperate with your KGB, and your KGB is responsible for helping me through a series of procedures such as customs clearance, transportation, and sales...... It couldn't be easier for you KGBs, right?...... And then you take 20 percent. β
"Twenty percent?"
"Yes, two percent," Chen Geng nodded: "It can be two percent of the goods, or two percent of the payment." β
"I ...... I can't promise you right now, but I promise that I will report to my superiors immediately and will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible. β
Alexander Holmdorov was very excited, he knew too well how much benefit this would bring to KGB, and just like Fernandez Chen said, the things that KGB needs to be responsible for are not too simple for KGB, just do something so simple, you can get 2% of the total cargo? In Alexander Holmdorov's opinion, this is no different from pie in the sky.
On top of that, Fernandez Chan said that he could organize at least 100 such boats a year, and the KGB, which has been benefited, can it be missing the share of the people below?
Chen Geng smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." β
