Chapter 131: A Lesson in International Trade

"Hello Zhu Lin. "Yang Fei is in Qingda, and he knows only a limited number of people, except for Yao Wanchun, who is a member of the research group.

"Mr. Yang, is this your girlfriend?" Zhu Lin smiled and stretched out his hand to Su Tong, "Hello, I am a member of the bubble research group, my name is Zhu Lin." ”

"Hello, I'm Su Tong, and I'm from the foam company. What she cares about the most is Yang Fei's explanation of the three words of girlfriend.

However, Yang Fei seemed to filter it automatically, as if he hadn't heard, didn't admit it, and didn't deny it.

So, she added: "You misunderstood, I'm not the boss's girlfriend." I'm the boss's secretary. ”

"Su Tong, I've heard your voice, we're in touch!" Zhu Lin made a phone call.

Su Tong does often call and contact people in the research group, but the most contacted person is a person named Luo Hongcai, and sometimes Zhu Lin occasionally answers the phone.

"Mr. Yang, you are here, I will ask for leave to accompany you!" Zhu Lin said enthusiastically.

"No, we'll go back for a walk. Don't delay your schoolwork. We'll talk next time. ”

"Actually, it's okay. It's just a few times a while to skip class, and I can catch up. I'm about to discuss with you, how do you know so much about laundry detergent technology?"

"I don't know much technology, I only know the future development of washing products, so I need you to help me achieve it. ”

"But you're right. Director Yao admired you very much, and said that if you didn't come to our school to study, it would be a loss to our chemistry department. ”

"Haha, thank you Director Yao for your uplift. ”

Zhu Lin smiled cheerfully: "How can you be sure that these technologies are the future development direction?" Luo Hongcai has a different opinion on this. Let's find a moment to talk about it, shall we?"

"I'm sorry, I've been really busy lately. Well, let's find another chance!"

"Okay, anyway, we're taking your money and helping you with your research. It's OK if you feel sure. Zhu Lin waved her hand, "Then I'll go to class first." Bye-bye!"

Yang Fei nodded calmly, in response.

Zhu Lin walked a little farther away, then turned back and looked at him, thinking to himself that he was obviously very young, younger than me, right? Why did he look old-fashioned? Like a big cadre.

It must be a big boss's shelf.

As soon as she thought of this, Zhu Lin couldn't help but laugh.

"Boss, none of the products you asked them to research are laundry detergent. Do you think it will really become popular in the future?" Su Tong couldn't help but ask.

"Shhhhh It's good that you know it in your heart. Moreover, I still have different research groups in the three schools working on these technologies. Because, these technologies are all money, and whether they can become bigger and stronger in the future depends on these treasures. ”

Hearing him say so solemnly, Su Tong hurriedly covered his mouth, for fear that if he was not careful, the secret would slip away from between his lips.

Meeting with Yao Wanchun and paying a research grant, Yang Fei took Su Tong to continue to walk around the campus.

"How does Professor Qingda teach class?" Su Tong suddenly asked curiously.

"Do you want to hear it? Go, I'll take you to listen. ”

"Huh, is that okay?"

"We're like students, aren't we?"

"Hmm!" Su Tong was still a little hesitant, she had some natural awe of this sacred campus.

Yang Fei smiled, took her hand, and walked towards a teaching building.

Su Tong was held by him and walked on the campus of Qing University, he couldn't help blushing, but he was reluctant to withdraw his hand.

Yang Fei casually chose a classroom, pushed open the back door, and quietly walked in.

There are relatively few people sitting in the classroom, and the talented people are also picky in class.

Yang Fei and Su Tong sat at the back and did not attract the attention of others.

An old professor with gray hair, standing on the podium, was giving a serious lecture, his voice was muffled and his words were clear:

"Both the Chinese and the Germans like to treat pork liver as a delicacy, but people in the two countries have very different understandings of the concept of 'standard pork liver'. The German merchant ordered 30,000 pounds of fresh pork liver from the merchant of the United States on the condition that it be of the first grade 'standard saleable grade'. ”

Yang Fei wanted to listen to it and leave, but as soon as he heard it, he became addicted.

According to this condition, the people of the United States purchased 30,000 pounds of fresh pork liver in the market in the United States in strict accordance with the strict standards and shipped it to Germany. If you're an exporter, you'll think that this deal can be done without a hitch, right?"

Someone smiled and replied, "Of course! ”

The old professor said: "However, when the pork liver was shipped to Germany, the buyer raised objections, and justifiably said that we ordered the standard saleable level of pork liver, but you shipped 40 percent, but it was the sow's liver. ”

The students were amazed when they heard this.

Yang Fei and Su Tong glanced at each other and were also surprised.

The old professor said: "Do you think that the Germans are making trouble unreasonably? The exporters of the rice country also replied in the same way, who cares about these livers, whether they are from sows or boars? Is there a difference? As long as the liver is good, it will be fine." ”

The classmates laughed.

The professor said solemnly: "The Germans replied, we care! In Germany, we can't sell spongy sow liver as strong boar liver! This batch of goods cannot be sold at the price we expected, and the only way to avoid all losses is to reduce the price." Therefore, they demanded that the exporters of the United States compensate them for the price discount of 1,000 dollars. ”

Of course, the people of the United States disagree, thinking that this is an insult to the taste of American consumers. The two sides argued endlessly, and finally had to resort to law. Pork liver can make such a big move because of the difference between male and female. Not to mention other export goods, students, in international trade, you must understand the living habits of the other country, and you can't take it for granted!"

There was silence in the classroom.

Everyone is thinking, it turns out that boar liver and sow liver are different!

And this subtle difference, in your eyes, may not be anything, but in the eyes of others, it is the difference between heaven and earth!

When it comes to trade between the two countries, this is money.

How much is the difference between one thought?

The shock in Yang Fei's heart was even more incomparable!

It turns out that the courses of high-end universities are like this!

The boring knowledge in books can be explained to you so vividly!

This is someone else's university, someone else's professor!

The professor said: "So, the question is, in this controversy, which country's law should be invoked, should the law of the United States or the law of Germany be used? If it is tried in the court of the United States, who do you think will win this lawsuit? If it is in Germany, who will win? Why? This is the homework I left for the students today, please complete it carefully. ”

Yang Fei thought the class was over.

Unexpectedly, after the professor finished assigning the homework, he continued:

"Again, let's dig a little deeper. The Mi and the Germans entered into a sales and purchase contract, assuming that the delivery was scheduled for August 1, and the Mi people calculated the itinerary accurately, loaded the pork liver into the ship in advance for export, and set off from New York Harbor. There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, this deserves the misfortune of the people of the United States, there is no way, right?"

In order to ensure the delivery on schedule, the company rented a high-horsepower tugboat and dragged the ship forward, but halfway, it encountered a political riot in a certain country on the way, resulting in the delivery date of the ship one day later than the scheduled time. ”

The students all laughed: "The people of the United States are too unlucky!"

The professor said: "It's unlucky, but this kind of thing often happens in international trade. When the rice people shipped pork liver to Germany, the price of pork liver fell sharply in the German market. The German importer, citing the delay in delivery, refused to pay, pick up the goods, or even terminated the contract. In the import and export trade, imported goods are often rejected for various reasons, which is a commercial risk for exporters. ”

"The longer it drags on, the more it involves the risk of foreign exchange settlement. The interest rate of foreign exchange is constantly fluctuating, and if it is not well controlled, one of them will have to bear the exchange risk. Okay, that's all for today's lesson, end of class!"

That's it?

Yang Fei listened to it and was still engrossed!

"Boss, let's go. Su Tong gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Hmm!" Yang Fei's expression suddenly became extremely excited, and he sighed, "I must come here to study! Senior sister, have you heard? This is a lecture by a famous scholar! Teaching with an ordinary teacher is not a grade at all!"

"Come here to go to school? Boss!" Su Tong said in surprise, "Can you come in?"

"There's always a way. ”

"How high is the score of entering here? It's 80 points higher than the key line, right?"

"This year, there are 3.8 million candidates in the country, and only 122 of them scored 600 points. Next year, it's a little better, but it's definitely hard. ”

"yes, it's too hard. ”

"College admissions are divided into three tiers of national task students, substitute trainees, and self-financed students. The cut-off score for substitute trainees and self-financed students is lower. It's really not good, you can still find a way to take the route of special enrollment. ”

"It's very difficult to recruit special students, excel in sports, or win the National Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Competition Award? Are you sure?"

"Besides, if you can't go to Qingdao University, you have to go to a better university, even if you can't get a diploma, it's worth it to take a few more classes and drop out. In Yang Fei's heart, he had already made up his mind.

This class brought him too much emotion!

Especially in the future, enterprises will definitely expand abroad, if their own knowledge reserves are not enough, enterprises will not be big, and they will not be able to go far.

Yang Fei and Su Tong walked out of the campus of Qingdao University.

Wudaokou, a good location!

Yang Fei touched his chin, thinking that if he bought some industry here, he would be able to make a lot of money casually in the future!

After the Kyoto incident, Yang Fei suddenly thought of Jiang Hanying.

She is in the city and I don't know which school she is in?

Just think about it, it's impossible to find her, it's impossible to find her in this life.

It seems that the trajectory of history has deviated a little, but it has not deviated from the general direction.

He and her, after occasional intersections, were no longer in touch after all, and they went to different lives with each other.
