Chapter 42 Respect for territorial jurisdiction
Gu Kun had already planned to have a secret conversation remotely if he contacted the Sa family tonight, and even he secretly drove a speedboat back to Lan Fang at night, and the two sides made an appointment for a secret talk.
However, the results were better than expected.
When Gu Kun called, Sa Wuyang himself was actually in Kuching.
Although Sa Wuyang originally wanted to let his subordinate stewards talk to Gu Kun, since it was convenient, it was better to meet.
Because Gu Kun talked a lot on the phone, he mentioned that he could help him deal with Chen Mingcheng together, and he also exaggerated his background in Huaxia.
The business of dumping thousands of television sets and exporting small commodities with profits of hundreds of thousands of dollars is not worthy of being discussed by Sa Wuyang himself.
But dealing with Chen Mingcheng and making some Chinese backgrounds is worth it.
……
After the call to Sa Wuyang, Gu Kun immediately called his own Ma Tsai Long Wu and ordered some things.
"Boss, what's the explanation?"
"You help me go to Xichun Garden to order the best box and banquet, and I will entertain Boss Sa in an hour. ”
"Sa Wuyang himself is actually in Kuching?" Long Wu was also taken aback.
Gu Kun casually analyzed: "Isn't it strange? Looking at Sa Wuyang's business, he must have a lot of upper-level people in Malaysia who have to maintain it regularly." ”
Long Wu didn't understand too much, but he didn't ask much, so he went straight to work. After all, he is not calculating, he can only be an executor.
After Long Wu left, Gu Kun was in the hotel room by himself, making some preparations for the meeting, and thinking about the current situation in his heart.
The reason why he said this to Long Wu just now was also based on the information he knew in his previous life, as well as some of his own analysis - the reason why Sa Wuyang's import and export business can become bigger is that it is impossible to rely on the Lan Fang market alone, so he must be taking S goods to Malaysia, and he is making a lot of profits.
Not only is the blue side small in population and small in the market, but the key is that the blue side is a free trade port, and theoretically anyone can import things from the blue side with zero tariff. How can this kind of business be monopolized?
If we want to form a de facto monopoly, there are only two ways:
Either to control the source of goods,
Either it is a channel to control the secret transfer of goods to the surrounding foreign customs territory that is not a free trade port after it arrives in Lanzhou.
Chen Mingcheng falls into the former category, and he can influence Shell's supply cadence.
And Sa Wuyang belongs to the latter, he has mastered the channels from Lan Fang to Kuching for many years to avoid taxes and sell goods, and the relationship is relatively good-
Over the years, if Savuyang's ship had secretly carried tax havens to Kuching, most of them would not have been detected.
And if there are other Lan businessmen and fishing boats who dare to follow suit, most of them will be inexplicably exposed by the Lan official, and then those Lan businessmen will be arrested by Malaysia for walking S.
Over time, everyone tacitly knows what business can and can't be touched.
The population market covered by Sawuyang's shipping channels is five times larger than that of other Lanfang merchants, and it is not surprising that he has become the largest importer and exporter. (The Chinese population in Kuching is five times the population of the whole country.)
The above information is all clearly on the table, and Gu Kun does not need to be reborn.
Some people may be surprised: why did the Lantian officials only inform the Malaysian side about the exposure of other people, but only Sa Wuyang?
In fact, it is very simple, because Sa Wuyang is the brother-in-law of Grand Duke Lan Fang, and his eldest sister is the Duchess. He was originally doing import and export business on behalf of the royal family, and the money he earned was also to be shared with the royal family, so it was regarded as a special business to pay taxes.
A small country with a population of more than 80,000 is still a monarchy, and this situation is not too normal.
……
An hour later, Sawuyang Shi Ran took a low-key Toyota Camry, with a bodyguard and a henchwoman assistant, and rushed to the "Cherish Spring Garden".
When he saw this car, Gu Kun couldn't believe it, but only later reacted that the other party was trying to keep a low profile and didn't want to make the city full of wind and rain to let people know that he had been here.
"Boss Sa, fortunately. The Buddha jumping over the wall here is very famous, so you must try it. Gu Kun personally greeted the other party at the door of the restaurant.
"I'm more familiar with you here, Lao Lin's craftsmanship, I still believe in it. Sawuyang spoke a little lacking in breath.
He looks like a frail and middle-aged man in his early forties, which is very much in line with the image of the overly drunk "Uncle Guo" in the play, but he is not wearing ancient costumes.
His family originated from Hu Jian's Semu family "Fuzhou Sashi", and there is a certain proportion of white blood.
Sa Wuyang's great-grandfather's generation, during the former Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, served as the commander of the Nanyang Navy Division and the Minister of the Navy. His uncle's generation also had middle-level naval officers such as the captain of the "Zhongshan Ship" who died during the Anti-Japanese War, and he was a typical family of admirals.
It's just that Sa Wuyang's branch moved to Lan Fang in the early 50s, and later the Grand Duke of Lan Fang took a fancy to the background of the Sa family, so he married his sister as a duchess, which can be regarded as a marriage.
Because of the difference in status, Sa Wuyang didn't play politely with Gu Kun, and sat down and asked straight about business.
Gu Kun also threw an olive branch first:
"I hope to cooperate with Boss Sa on the import trade of Huaxia, I am responsible for importing, you are responsible for shipping, and the benefits are five or five. For example, a Huaxia TV set, which is currently sold from Donghai/Guangdong East to Lanfang, has a net profit of RM150, and in the future you will be 75 and I will be 75. ”
Gu Kun didn't lie about the purchase price, because he knew that it was not difficult to verify these things.
He originally planned to take the initiative to show Sa Wuyang the contracts he signed in Huaxia, as well as the one-and-a-half-year exclusive agency agreement, to show his strength.
Selling TVs and other small commodities requires mature shipping channels, which is different from selling diesel.
Diesel is not a thing to worry about, and as soon as you stop at sea, there will be a steady stream of fishing boats coming to you to refuel. Other imported goods, no matter how affordable you are, the sales channels can't keep up, and you are also blind.
Therefore, Gu Kun, who sells oil, wants to monopolize profits, and does other import business, he can and must pull partners.
Sa Wuyang looked at the contracts handed to him by Gu Kun, and said very simply: "Just kidding, a TV, I am 100, you are 50, or I will find other brands by myself." ”
Gu Kun thought for a while: "Okay, then I'll be 50, but then I don't care about sales, just have no brains, the more you earn, the more responsibilities you have." ”
Sa Wuyang couldn't help but glance at him: "Young man, hundreds of thousands of profits, you can make a decision in minutes, but you are a decisive person, no wonder you can find a new way in China."
Okay, if you are happy, I will be happy with you - I promise you to sell 20,000 units a year, you just have to ship it brainlessly, I will accept all the orders within 20,000 units, and if you can't sell them out, it will be mine. ”
One earns 50 reams, and if 20,000 units are underwritten a year, it is 1 million reams, which is 2.4 million yuan.
Running sea trade and engaging in transportation, there is so much net profit, and it can be regarded as worthy of the trade route discovered by Gu Kun.
If you only sell the Lanfang market, you can sell up to 3,000 units a year. Gu Kun estimated it, and he knew that Sa Wuyang counted the Chinese settlement near Kuching as his target market.
In this case, people should also earn a little more, after all, the dangerous work of going from Lan to Malaysia is done by Sawuyang's people.
With this tone, some subsequent underwriting negotiations have also been completed well.
Talking, Gu Kun could see that Sa Wuyang was a little impatient.
The other party smoked a cigar and took a few puffs before he was a little refreshed: "You can talk to my assistant about the rest of the details, I'm not interested, I'm here today...... Xiao Liu, you go out first. ”
Sa Wuyang said, even his assistant and bodyguards rushed out, and only he and Gu Kun were left in the box, and he finished the second half of the sentence, "...... I'm here to hear how you deal with Chen Mingcheng, and I hope you will surprise me. ”
Gu Kun also politely lit a cigar with the other party: "You should know that Chen Mingcheng has been eyeing my oil circuit for three weeks, and I have been trying to find a way to delay and make him look forward to it, so I didn't tear my face." ”
Sawuyang: "He's staring at you, I know, if there are three weeks, I don't care - to the point. ”
Gu Kun thought for a while: "Before I say the specific plan, I must make sure of one thing to you: for so many years, you have been in control of the import and export trade of the Lan Fang, and the other henchmen of the Grand Duke are in charge of foreign affairs and law enforcement, why didn't you personally deal with Chen Mingcheng?"
Sa Wuyang: "Nonsense, behind him stands Shell Oil, and the number of employees in a multinational company is several times more than the national population of Lanfang. We also have to pay attention to foreign-related influences, how can it be possible for officials to tear their faces with the Bretons!
Hate to hate, you can't miss a big thing. Besides, Chen Mingcheng is just a dog, and if he kills a dog, his owner will send another one, which will have little impact on the situation. We don't want to pay too much to deal with such a guy, it's not worth it. ”
Gu Kun Zhizhu raised his hand in his grip and summarized succinctly: "So, it's not a matter of ability, it's a matter of guts." If someone helps you find the bottom of the stairs, or even helps you pull hatred, you will be happy to see it. ”
TS: "That's it. ”
Gu: "Then I need your cooperation in two points." ”
Sa: "Say. ”
Gu: "First of all, he is going to see me tomorrow, I may have to make a false deal with him, pretend to take refuge first, and 'confess' the beginning and end of my cheap oil road to him, so that he can taste some sweetness temporarily...... But it won't be too long, at most more than a month, and the net will be closed. ”
Sa: "You want to lure him into trouble? ”
Gu: "I want to lure him into committing crimes in a foreign country, and that's fine, if in certain countries where the law is strict." ”
TS: "So what are we supposed to do?"
Gu: "I hope that you will pretend to be a little cowardly and 'forced' to make a simple statement to respect the territorial jurisdiction of foreign criminal law – that is, the right of foreign criminal law to adjudicate and punish Lan citizens when they commit crimes on foreign territory."
When people from Shell and even Brittany ask, can you pretend to be innocent, pretending that 'we are small and weak, and we can't afford to offend either side,' and this will always be done, right?"
