Zhongyuan Zhongcheng Foreign Trade Company, Deputy General Manager's Office.

Cai Daming tilted his feet on the wide boss's desk, leaned on the leather boss's chair, tilted his head with interest, and talked about the phone with a girl he just met.

Manager Wang of the business department knocked on the door and walked in.

Cai Daming covered the microphone with his hand and looked at Manager Wang with slanted eyes: "What's the matter?" ”

Manager Wang cautiously said to Cai Daming: "Mr. Cai, a Russian guest came to discuss a business. Do you have time to meet him? ”

Cai Daming waved his hand impatiently and said, "Lao Wang, don't you see that I'm busy?" What cats and dogs need me to receive, what do you have to eat? ”

Manager Wang accompanied him and said carefully: "Mr. Cai, this Russian guest is talking about a big order of 30 million yuan. ”

"What?" Cai Daming suddenly became excited, he said into the microphone: "Baby, I want to see a very important guest now, and I will call you again in the evening, you must be obedient!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Cai Daming took his legs off the boss's desk, moved the boss's chair, sat up straight, and said to Manager Wang: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Go and bring me the guests in! ”

According to the rules of Zhongcheng Foreign Trade Company, large orders of more than two million must be contacted by Deputy General Manager Cai Daming and General Manager Zhou Fuzhi, but in Zhongcheng Foreign Trade Company, Zhou Fuzhi is just an ornament, and the real power has always been in the hands of Vice President Cai Daming. Now that the Russian guests are going to negotiate a big order of 30 million, Manager Wang naturally wants to bring the guests to Cai Daming.

"Yes, Mr. Cai, I'll invite it right away!"

Manager Wang nodded and was about to go out, but Cai Daming called him again: "Old Wang, what kind of list do the Russians want to talk about?" ”

Manager Wang stopped and said, "I heard from the interpreter that they were coming to buy refrigerators. ”

Cai Daming said: "Purchasing refrigerators? Russians buy refrigerators? That's pretty rare. ”

After a pause, Cai Daming asked: "Lao Wang, since they purchased refrigerators, why didn't they go directly to the refrigerator factory and find us instead?" ”

Manager Wang said in a low voice: "The Chinese translator of the Russian guest wanted to benefit from it, so he introduced the Russian guest to our company." ”

Cai Daming nodded, indicating that he knew what he knew, and said, "Okay, you can invite them in for me." ”

Manager Wang came out of Cai Daming's office, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and scolded in his heart: "your ancestor's Cai Sandan, don't you just rely on a good father?" Why are you so arrogant? Grandma's, Lao Tzu wants to have a father who is the mayor, and now at least one county magistrate is done, and there is nothing to do in a foreign trade company! ”

With little effort, Manager Wang led two people to Cai Daming's office. On the right is a Chinese man with glasses, twenty-six or seven years old; On the left is a Russian, dressed casually in an Armani suit, accentuating his tall and muscular figure, holding a Louis Vuitton handbag, a Rolex watch on his wrist, and a pair of delicate Italian Salvatore Ferragamo leather shoes.

Cai Daming's eyes immediately straightened, he knew that the Russian in front of him must be a real big fish, he didn't even see what this Russian looked like, but he could clearly see this Russian wearing the luxury goods of an international brand. With Cai Daming's eyesight, he naturally knows that the luxury goods on the Russian in front of him are genuine and genuine, and he can almost buy two crown cars driven by Cai Daming.

Manager Wang introduced to the Chinese: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Petrovich, this is Mr. Cai Daming, the deputy general manager of our Zhongcheng Foreign Trade Company. ”

Then he introduced to Cai Daming: "Mr. Cai, this Russia is Petrovich, a guest of Russia, and this is Mr. Zhang, Petrovich's translator. ”

Cai Daming hurriedly greeted him and stretched out his hands, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Petrovich, welcome, welcome, warm welcome." ”

Petrovich stretched out a big furry hand for Cai Daming to shake it, but his eyes swept Cai Daming's office, turned to Zhang Yi, and muttered a word in Russian. Translator Zhang hurriedly muttered a lot of words, looking very excited. Petrovich nodded at this time, and said to Cai Daming in stiff Chinese: "Mud monkey! ”

Cai Daming was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Yi hurriedly said: "Mr. Cai, Mr. Petrovich said hello." ”

"Hello, hello!" Cai Daming said with a smile: "Mr. Petrovic's Chinese is good!" ”

Translator Zhang immediately said two words of Russian to Petrovich, and Petrovich burst out laughing. Translator Zhang turned his head to Cai Daming and said, "Mr. Cai, Mr. Petrovich will know this sentence in Chinese!" ”

Cai Daming also laughed.

After inviting Petrovich and Zhang Yi to sit down, Cai Daming asked, "Mr. Petrovich, I don't know if I can help you?" ”

Petrovich nodded at Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi said, "That's right, Mr. Cai." Mr. Petrovich wants to purchase a batch of refrigerators from us in China. ”

Then Zhang Yi took out a stack of materials and handed it to Cai Daming.

Cai Daming took it and looked at it, feeling very strange, so he said: "A refrigerator with a capacity of three hundred and sixty liters? Mr. Zhang, why did Mr. Petrovich purchase such a large capacity refrigerator? It's the first time I've seen a refrigerator of this size! ”

Zhang Yi said: "Mr. Cai, because the refrigerator produced in Russia is large and heavy, the style is ugly, the noise is high and the power consumption is high, the people of Russia are still very eager to have a delicate imported refrigerator. However, Russia actually restricts the import of refrigerators from abroad, so it is not easy for refrigerators to be exported to Russia through normal channels. ”

However, there is a loophole in the management of Russia's import catalog, that is, Russia only restricts the import of household refrigerators, but does not restrict the import of ice-making machinery. There is only one criterion for distinguishing between ice-making machinery and refrigerators, and that is to see if the volume is 360 liters. More than 360 liters are ice-making machinery, and less than 360 liters are refrigerators. Therefore, Mr. Petrovich wanted to exploit this Confucius and order a batch of 360-liter large-capacity refrigerators to be imported into the Russian market in the name of ice-making machinery. ”

"Since the style of our refrigerator in China is no different from that of the most advanced refrigerator producing countries in the world, and the price is much lower, Mr. Petrovich finally chose to import this 360-liter large-capacity refrigerator to the Chinese market."

Cai Daming said in surprise: "What, is there such a thing?" ”

Manager Wang said on the side: "Mr. Cai, this is indeed the case. I have inquired with friends from the Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau, and they have checked the information, and there is indeed this loophole in the management of the Russian import catalog, but few people have paid attention to it. ”

Cai Daming nodded, and asked Zhang Yiyi again: "There are many refrigerator factories in China, how did Mr. Petrovich come to Central Plains Province to purchase refrigerators?" ”

Zhang Yiyi said with a smile: "Because only the Yufei Refrigerator Factory in Central Plains Province produces this kind of 360-liter large-capacity refrigerator. ”

"Oh?" Cai Daming was very strange, "Yufei Refrigerator Factory still produces refrigerators of such rare specifications?" ”

Zhang translated: "Yes. And Yufei Refrigerator Factory: These refrigerators have been exported to the Russian market for two years! It was from Russia that Mr. Petrovich learned about the Yufei Refrigerator Factory, and then found the Central Plains Province. ”

While talking to Cai Daming, Zhang translated the words of the conversation into Russian and told Petrovich. At this time, Petrovich spoke again, and then Zhang Translator told Cai Daming: "Because the Russians who operate this kind of large-size refrigerator in the Russian market are Mr. Petrovic's competitors, Mr. Petrovich thought of China directly importing this kind of refrigerator to defeat his competitors." ”

"I see!" Cai Daming nodded and said, "Translator Zhang, let's do it, you and Mr. Petrovich will play in Zhongzhou for two days first, and see the scenery of Shaolin Temple and the Yellow River Tourist Area in Zhongzhou." I'll leave your quotation and wait for me to discuss it with other leaders of the company, and I'll give you an answer within two days, okay? ”

Translator Zhang translated Cai Daming's words to Petrovic, Petrovich nodded in agreement, and told Cai Daming through the translator to let him make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise they would want to try other channels.

After Zhang Yi and Petrovich left, Cai Daming immediately asked Manager Wang to call Yufei Refrigerator Factory and ask if Yufei Refrigerator Factory produced 360-liter refrigerators. Yufei Refrigerator Factory replied that their factory did produce such large-size refrigerators. However, this refrigerator is made specifically for a regular customer and is not available for sale.

Cai Daming was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Manager Wang: "It seems that what the Russians said is true, Yufei Refrigerator Factory really produces refrigerators of this specification." However, I know almost all the people in the foreign trade circles of the Central Plains Province, who is secretly doing this kind of side-of-the-road business with the Russians? ”
