Chapter 188: Unusual Speculation
The location of the warehouse is relatively remote, between the large areas of farmland.
However, there is an unobstructed asphalt road in the middle, crisscrossing between large areas of neat farmland, and the outstanding modern style is extremely strong.
The warehouse occupies a relatively large area, and it is also a modern warehouse, with all kinds of auxiliary machinery, and the domestic logistics warehousing is simply pediatric compared with here.
After MacFil and Nader took Xu Ran into the warehouse, they were in a corner of the warehouse, where some larger things were covered with a tarpaulin.
When the tarpaulin was pulled open, a set of large wooden boxes arranged neatly there, arranged horizontally.
After Nader took the initiative to go up, he opened the knot of wood boxes one after another, and Xu Ran followed to check them one by one, it was indeed the equipment he wanted, but it was all disassembled and packed separately, after all, it was a complete set of instruments and equipment, and the combined volume was relatively large, and it was not convenient.
Xu Ran checked more carefully, and he was worried that this German would fool him.
After Xu Ran inspected each part, it was indeed found that some parts were damaged, although it did not look serious, but it could affect the operation of the equipment, for the physical research and experimental projects, the slightest small flaw is not allowed, which is the main reason why no one in Germany is willing to take over this set of equipment.
After seeing the complete set of equipment and knowing it in his heart, Xu Ran called Toloka over and said: "I have checked the equipment, and it is still relatively complete, but there are some important parts that are damaged, and it will be very troublesome to repair, and the cost is relatively high, which is also the main reason why the Germans do not want it, so you can talk to them about the price for this problem!"
"Okay!"
After Toloka heard Xu Ran's explanation, she also knew in her heart, so she invited Maccaferri to the empty farmland at the entrance of the warehouse, and the two began a formal negotiation on the price.
There is also a Nader in front of the equipment in the warehouse, this guy is quite a rigid and rigorous person, it seems that he is guarding these equipment, afraid that Xu Ran will take the opportunity to do something.
After all, these things are precision instruments and equipment, and their small companies simply do not have the ability to master that kind of production and manufacturing technology, and they are all funded and manufactured by large national institutions.
Of course, Xu Ran didn't do anything, he took out a phone from his backpack, made a gesture of sending a text message, and then casually put it on a box, and then gestured towards Nader.
Nader paid attention to Xu Ran's gestures to him, and also noticed that Xu Ran's mobile phone that he casually put on the box may be related to habits, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
Although the language is not understood, Nader can understand no matter how dull he is by making some gestures, Xu Ran wants him to continue to seal those boxes and put them on the lid.
Nader understood what he meant, and got to work.
Xu Ran looked at the volume of those boxes, but felt that the other party was really going to save him a lot of trouble by splitting and packing them like this, if it was a whole set of equipment, just dismantling it was a very troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive project.
Xu Ran thought that these equipment should have been deliberately disassembled and packed for shipment by the previous large company when it wanted to be shipped out of the country, but it was detained by the customs and finally transferred to Maccaferri.
Just thinking about it, Xu Ran couldn't help but speculate in the direction of malice.
When the transaction between his front foot and Maccaferri is completed, will the guy on the back foot notify the customs of the news and let the customs wait for the rabbit, once these things are found when leaving the country, they will naturally be detained, and they will be detained and fined if they are involved in smuggling contraband.
Wait until the fact that Maccaferri can get it out of the hands of the customs defense again, and then use it to contact people in other countries who want equipment to continue to scam money?
If you think about it, it's really a possibility.
After all, Xu Ran and Toloka are both from foreign countries and are not familiar with the place, Maccaferri has the advantage of geography and connections at home, if he is really greedy and does things in villain behavior, if Xu Ran is an ordinary person and has no hole cards to rely on, he will really be cheated in Germany if he doesn't get it right.
Xu Ran didn't want to think more about the worst side of human nature, and hoped that Maccaferri was an honest and trustworthy person.
It didn't take long for Toloka to negotiate a deal value with Mackeri.
After Toloka returned to Xu Ran's side, he whispered to Xu Ran: "The other party has always insisted that the price should not be lower than 320,000 US dollars, but I told him that several important parts of the equipment were damaged, and the cost of repairing them was too high, and the other party was not responsible for after-sales and transportation and departure, so I didn't want to talk about 300,000 US dollars......
Xu Ran said: "Is this the final price?"
Toloka shook his head and said: "When I was about to lower the price again, the other party answered a phone call, and then took the initiative to reduce the price for me, as long as 250,000 US dollars, he was willing to sell, he asked for a lump sum payment, and the Swiss bank account was transferred!"
Xu Ran couldn't help but chuckle: "Hehe, I was given 50,000 US dollars less when I answered the phone, which is really too happy and generous, don't you think that call is a bit strange?"
Although Xu Ran was reluctant to speculate on human nature in the worst way, he couldn't help but think about it now.
Hearing Xu Ran say this, Toloka couldn't help but think about it, and said: "These instruments and equipment are impossible to expose, and this transaction will not be protected by law, once it is seized, it is always you who suffers, you have no connections in Germany, and you have no background, if the other party really wants to bully us foreigners and deceive them by means, we really can't do anything about them!"
Speaking of this, Toloka glanced at MacField, who was explaining things to Nader, and said in a low voice: "If we really assume this aspect, then we have to take precautions, what do you do?"
Xu Ran thought about this problem before he came, so he said: "You go and tell Mackerier, just say that I agree to the price of 250,000 US dollars, I only make a small request, that is, let them load these equipment boxes into the truck, and then wait until nine o'clock in the evening for me to transport to the Odo River intersection near the cargo flow transfer station, naturally someone will pick up the goods......"
Toloka didn't quite understand what Xu Ran's intentions were, although that place was not far from Poland, it was still in Germany, and there was still some distance from the customs, why did he choose such a transportation hub with a large flow of goods and vehicles.
However, Toloka also knew that this was not a problem for her to worry about, so she went to Maccaferri and talked about the small request that Xu Ran mentioned.
After Maccaferri heard this, a slightly surprised look appeared on his face, and he looked a little surprised, but he still agreed to Xu Ran's request very happily.
This is different from Xu Ran's first impression, which makes Xu Ran feel that this Mackephail is a little wrong.
But it doesn't matter, if he really knows how to plan and calculate Xu Ran, it is destined to not have any good results.
