Chapter 360: Who cares about the flood
From the time he set out from the capital, Kuroko had a feeling of grievance. The experts on the train talked about technical issues, and he didn't understand technology and couldn't interject at all. When he arrived in the USSR, everyone either spoke Russian or English, he didn't know foreign languages, let alone interject, he didn't even understand what people were saying. After following everyone around stupidly for a long time, he was already depressed.
Hearing Qin Hai instruct him to fight with the other party, Heizi suddenly felt refreshed, and finally had a chance for him to raise his eyebrows. Sunspots are naturally gifted, in medical terms, because they lack a certain enzyme in the body, and they are completely unable to absorb alcohol. So for him, there is no difference between alcohol and plain water, and no matter how much he drinks, he will not feel drunk.
"Come, I salute my Soviet friends." Kuroko stood up, glass in hand, and began to challenge several Soviets.
The Soviets were known for their good wine, and Seryosha, Utkin, and Vavilov were all good drinkers. Previously, they had all been in contact with Chinese and had never lost in the process of drinking with Chinese. Normally, they haven't had their full sake, and the Chinese guests who drank with them are already drunk. This time, seeing that the sunspots actually took the initiative to stand up and invite them to drink, they didn't care about embarrassing Qin Hai, Lu Jingrong and the others again, and competed with the sunspots one by one with great interest.
Xie Qijin knew the amount of alcohol that the sunspot drank, and he didn't worry about the sunspot at all. Seeing Kuroko single-handedly picking up three Soviets, he had only one thing to do, which was to instruct the proprietress to serve as much wine as possible. Lu Jingrong didn't know what was going on, and at first he was sweating for Heizi, but seeing that Qin Hai and Xie Qijin were all indifferent, he didn't bother to say anything.
In less than half an hour, the winner at the wine table had already been decided. Kuroko sat steadily in her seat, her face as usual. Seryosha had already gotten under the table and was dragged out by Xie Qijin. Thrown on the couch to the side, all that was left was the ability to giggle. Vavilov drank less, but his white face had turned purple. Utkin gasped, his eyes widened wider than a bull's eye, and he said that he wanted to continue drinking, but his hands were so shaky that he couldn't even hold the glass.
"Good...... Attaboy. Are you this ...... Big Hero! Utkin bared his tongue and gave Kuroko a thumbs up, and in his opinion, whoever drank a lot was great. Kuroko drank all three of them by himself, so he was naturally the hero of heroes.
"Mr. Qin, are you still drinking?" Kuroko pointed at the three Soviets and asked Mr. Qin for instructions.
Mr. Qin patted Kuroko's shoulder and said, "No need." They're almost there, and if they drink any more, they won't be able to talk about it today. ”
Kuroko smiled and said, "Then I'll go to the toilet first...... I can't hold so much wine in my stomach. ”
Watching Kuroko leave, Qin Hai sat up straight and said to Utkin: "Mr. Utkin, we are almost drunk with wine, can we talk about something." ”
"Absolutely." Utkin burped. The speech is still a little stumbling, but the brain is still clear. Just a little excited.
Qin Haidao: "I have already introduced myself before, I am the person in charge of a Chinese company, this time I came to the Soviet Union, I want to introduce some scrapped equipment, if you can still find some technical information, it will be more ideal." I've heard that your business has been declining recently. Presumably, there will be a large amount of equipment that is idle, I wonder if Mr. Utkin is willing to resell these idle expired equipment to us? ”
"Do you want to buy our equipment?" Utkin's eyes were a little clear, and it seemed that the benefit was indeed the best sobering soup.
"Yes. Of course, I only want to buy some obsolete second-hand equipment because it is too expensive. I can't afford it. Qin Hai said.
Such meaningful words, the only way to ask Xie Qi to come in for translation, although Lu Jingrong's Russian is good, but when the same sentence is put in his mouth, it has no charm, and between Qin Hai and Utkin, what is needed most is that kind of tacit mutual suggestion.
"We have a lot of idle equipment, all at very reasonable prices. If you are interested, you can come to me and Vavilov tomorrow at the factory, and we will accompany you to the workshop. By the way, in addition to the workshop, our real room also has a lot of real instruments that are no longer used, you know, these instruments spent a lot of foreign exchange from the United States, Japan, Germany and other countries to buy. We don't need these things anymore, I don't know if you're interested. Utkin said nakedly.
Qin Haidao: "If the price is right, of course we are interested." However, I guess these devices have already been depreciated, right? The current residual value is estimated to be less than 10% of the original purchase price, right? ”
Utkin understood that Qin Hai was making an offer, and he replied without hesitation: "No problem, we can sell these equipment to you at 10% of the purchase price." ”
The equipment that can be taken out and sold will certainly not be the rags that have really been depreciated, and no one will be interested in those rags even if they are given away for free. The things that Utkin and Vavilov took out for sale were all new and advanced equipment and instruments, and they were sold at 10% of the original price, which can definitely be regarded as a tearful sale.
In normal times, Utkin may still be a little dissatisfied with the 10% price, and he will bargain with the merchant again in order to get a better price. However, Utkin was already half-drunk and half-awake now, and he couldn't concentrate on negotiating with Qin Hai, so he simply agreed to Qin Hai's offer in one step.
"10% of the price is to be handed over to the factory for accounting. In addition, the two of us also need some commissions to do these jobs. Commission...... Do you understand? Vavilov interjected.
Qin Hai nodded: "I understand, I don't know what the standard for the two of you to withdraw commissions is." ”
"6% of the original value of the equipment, Utkin and I, one and a half." Vavilov said bluntly that he was also speaking with the strength of wine, and that in normal times he would be more reserved than he is now.
The factory's equipment is sold at 10% of the original price, but the factory director and the chief engineer have to get a 6% commission. In other words, the money that the two of them got was equivalent to 60% of the factory's income. Qin Hai believes that if he is willing to give these two people some more commissions, maybe they will be willing to give up a big step on the basis of 10%. In the hearts of these two moths, their own pockets are the most important, and as for other things, to paraphrase an old saying: who cares about the flood.
"Your commission, I totally agree." Qin Hai nodded. Even if the commission is added, the cost he needs to pay is only equivalent to 16% of the original value of the equipment, and if the equipment is in good condition, this price can be said to be the price of cabbage.
"Refreshing! Come, for the sake of our cooperation, another toast. Utkin picked up his spirits and reached for the bottle.
Kuroko, who had already returned from the toilet, smiled and grabbed the wine bottle first, poured a full glass for Utkin and Vavilov, and then poured another glass for himself, and said, "Our total Qin has a small amount of wine, so I'll accompany the two of you to drink this cup." ”
"Cheers!" Utkin doesn't care who he's drinking with, he drinks in his mood, as long as he's happy.
"Mr. Qin, in addition to the equipment of our factory, are you interested in other equipment?" Vavilov sat down beside Qin Hai, took his hand, and asked in a low voice. He already knew that Qin Hai could speak English, so he switched to English to communicate with Qin Hai.
Qin Haidao: "Our company is in a period of great development, and all kinds of equipment are very lacking. Mr. Vavilov would be interested if he could put us in touch with the equipment of other companies. As for the commission, we can also pay you separately. ”
"It's too easy." Vavilov lifted his gold-wire glasses and said proudly: "In the entire Far East, I have a large number of classmates and friends, no matter what kind of equipment you want, I can help you get in touch, but it depends on whether you have so much money." ”
"We are very well funded, and there are no problems." Qin Hai said that he can now mobilize up to more than a billion dollars in funds, and if he buys equipment at 10 percent of the price, he can buy at least 10 large factories. What's more, what he wants to purchase is only some high-tech equipment, too ordinary equipment, unless it is really disposed of to him according to the price of scrap iron, he will not spend that unjust money.
Vavilov smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Qin, I think you will be interested in technology in addition to buying equipment, right?" There are countless research institutes in the Far East, with a large number of cutting-edge technologies, and I am sure that China will be of great help to you in modernizing now. ”
"Wouldn't these technologies involve confidentiality and patent issues?" Qin Hai asked hypocritically.
Vavilov said disdainfully: "In the past, the results of these research institutes were kept secret, but now who cares about these things? As long as you can afford it, I'll be able to get those researchers to hand over the technology to you. As for patents, you can rest assured that these technologies are patentless, and if you are willing to apply for a patent in your name after you take them, I don't think anyone will object. ”
"That's great." Qin Hai pretended to be happy and said to Vavilov. However, his heart was very uncomfortable.
It's really a wall that everyone is pushing down, the Soviet Union has not yet collapsed, and these people in important positions are already dismantling the stage in a different way. Equipment, technology, and talent have all been resold by them for worthless, and when the system transformation is completed and the country needs to restore economic construction, how much will be left of the original family foundation? Thinking that Russia in later generations had to sell oil and natural gas to maintain the status of the "BRICS", Qin Hai didn't know what to say. (To be continued......)
