Vasily's question, after Yang Guozhong translated it, Sun Ziming was really difficult to answer. Is there a free lunch in the world? But if he receives other people's commissions, what will Yang Guozhong do? The Soviet Union, which had been practicing a planned economy for more than 70 years, had lost the concept of a commodity economy. Is it appropriate to talk to the three of them about this? But if you don't talk about it, what will happen to other people's things in the future?

In the vault full of banknotes, there was silence for a while, Sun Ziming pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Vasily, it is true that we are friends, but business is business. If your stuff is cash, I must charge a percentage of the commission, which is a business principle, and I hope you can understand. Of course, if it is other hard currency, I can introduce the bank to buy it with reference to the market price. ”

Sun Tzu's ambiguous words made the three young people, who were not used to dealing with the Chinese, breathe a sigh of relief. If it was a large amount of cash, they didn't have to borrow it from Yang Guozhong. 15%-20% rake, that's a lot of money.

Ten minutes later, Sun Ziming looked at what Vasily took out of the suitcase, and looked at Yang Guozhong with a wry smile. A few kilograms of gold is no problem, I can now let Manager Zhang of the Finance Department buy it at the market price, and his family is a gold shop, which is easy to dispose of. But these 3 large rough diamonds with a purity of D and weighing more than 5 carats made it difficult for him, but this is a rough diamond, not a loose diamond.

Rough diamonds have to be cut and polished to become crystal clear diamonds, and diamonds have to be designed and made to become diamond jewelry that can drive women crazy. If the price of a rough diamond is 1, a loose diamond is 1. 2-1。 5, and finally in the hands of consumers, it is 6-8. How did Sun Tzu Ming explain the meaning of these three young people who had been to Macau as far as home?

Although Vasily is rough and arrogant, he is not stupid, at least Sun Ziming's face can still be understood, and Yang Guozhong translated: "What he means is that what we can buy will be sold to us, and what we can't buy is what I hope we can introduce to the channel." ”

This is simple, Sun Ziming put the few kilograms of gold on the left side of the desk, motioned to Vasily to put away the three rough diamonds, and said with a smile: "Vasily, I can buy these gold at the market price now." I have a membership of the Hong Kong Diamond Exchange Centre, and I can take you there to trade, and you can negotiate the price with the diamond dealers yourself. You can rest assured that there is complete transparency and there will be no deception. ”

“Thinkyoumyfriend”

“That’sallright”

Sun Ziming smiled, who said that Lao Maozi has no heart, at least Guozhong doesn't know that this kid knows English, and it is a standard London accent. It's not good, these things are just people's pathfinding stones, and the big head is still behind. According to Guozhong, this Vasily family has been an official in the Far East from the time of Lenin to the present. Although his father's generation has already declined into a middle-level official, how can he compare with these nouveau riche who have only made a fortune for a year or two with decades of experience?

Vasily happily put the three rough diamonds in his suit pocket, carried the lockbox to the conference table outside, and waited.

The things of the other two are simple, they are all a few kilograms of gold, Sun Ziming put three piles of gold coins (strips) into three piles, and pressed the call button to call Ah Shu outside, "Ah Shu, go and call Manager Zhang of the Finance Department." ”

"Yes"

A few minutes later, Manager Zhang ran in with his assistant panting, and Sun Ziming called the three of Vasily outside, pointed to the gold on the table and said in English: "Manager Zhang, these things are charged at the market price, is there a problem?" ”

Manager Zhang looked at the three ghost guys in surprise, and then realized that his boss was looking for a channel for others, so the money he should make should not be too much less. The two of them appraised the fineness of the gold, and divided the three piles of gold into six parts of different sizes, "Gentlemen, these gold coins have a certain cultural value. If you insist on selling, we can only buy it as gold. ”

The three of them discussed, and each took back the gold coins with cultural relics value, and praised Manager Zhang's professional ethics again and again. Manager Zhang smiled bitterly in his heart, if it weren't for his boss here, the ghost would tell you about this. The money in hand flew, in exchange for a few worthless words, do you think Lao Tzu is very happy?

The assistant quickly calculated the price, Manager Zhang glanced at the calculator and explained: "Gentlemen, we can't buy at the market price, we are a commercial store, we must have profits, can you understand?" You are my friends with the boss, so our purchase price is only 6% lower than the market price instead of 8%. ”

The three of them discussed a few words in Russian, and Vasily agreed with a smile on his face: "Ok, Mr. Zhang, just make a deal at the price you said, and just transfer the money to our friend's account." Thank you for your service, and next time if you have the opportunity, we will still find you to trade. ”

Manager Zhang looked at Sun Ziming and smiled bitterly, he didn't want to have a next time in such a transaction. It is important to know that the bank does not buy these gold from unknown sources. When you collect these dirty gold from the outside, the purchase price is 15% lower than the market price!

Sun Tzu knew that he was tired of it, so he took the initiative to shake hands with Manager Zhang and said in English: "Lao Zhang, I'm sorry for you." My friend doesn't know much about the market, so I'll say hello to Manager Zhong of BEA, I won't embarrass you. ”

Manager Zhang immediately said gratefully in English: "Xie Lu Xie Boss, Xie Lu Xie Boss." ”

After speaking, Manager Zhang and the assistant in the store put the gold into the box and left the office.

After the two of them left, Vasily looked at Sun Ziming in surprise, and Yang Guozhong explained in Russian: "Vasily, your gold is not properly processed, and when it is traded on the market, the purchase price will be 15% or even 20% lower than the market price." If you still have gold to sell next time, we can introduce you to the channel, but you will have to bear the difference. ”

Sun Ziming couldn't understand Russian, but he could read his expression, and when he saw that Vasily's expression had changed, he was very satisfied with his brother's outspokenness. How can there be a good thing in the world to take advantage of for nothing? Helping once or twice is everyone's friendship, and if it becomes a business, it is necessary to calculate everyone's interests clearly.

The other two young men thanked him with a big grin, Vasily was embarrassed and then thanked, and Sun Ziming waved his hand disappreciatively, "Okay, you're halfway done, now let's go to Hong Kong?" UBS procedures can be cumbersome and time-consuming, but of course their secrecy is among the best in the world! ”

The three of them nodded excitedly, as long as they have a Swiss bank account, they can exchange money in Vladivostok in the future, and they don't need to come to Hong Kong again.

……

Today, in order to save face for Yang Guozhong, Sun Ziming spent a lot of money, not only asking Mr. Huo to borrow a private helicopter, a Rolls-Royce, and even his driver. The towering skyscrapers, the luxurious convoys, and the traffic in Central really excited the three young people who had only seen such a scene on TV.

When the convoy arrived at the Hong Kong branch of the Union Bank of Switzerland, Vasily made an excuse for Sun Ziming to take him to the diamond trading center, avoiding his two companions. Ten minutes later, Sun Ziming took Vasily to the diamond trading center in Central, explained the trading rules to him, and handed him three supporting documents from his uncle, and asked him to talk to the diamond merchants himself.

“Why?”

Sun Ziming cursed in his heart, pointed to the large screen of transaction records in the hall in the distance, and explained in a low voice: "Vasily, this is a business rule, and the other party will not agree to talk between one person and two people." You have to negotiate and trade on your own, as long as you don't easily agree to their offers, talk to a few more businessmen, and refer to the previous transaction records, you will always get a price that you are satisfied with. ”

Vasily pretended to be helpless and entered the trading floor, merging into the bustling but quiet crowd, and Sun Ziming went to the rest area to drink coffee and wait for him. This kid is not as simple as the other two young people, maybe he is a character who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.

Forty minutes later, Vasily returned, looking very disappointed on his face. Sun Tzu was secretly happy in his heart, and when he was in Macau, Guozhong reminded him that Vladivostok had opened a Tiffany jewelry store, and the treasure of the town store was a 5-carat D-grade diamond ring with a price tag of 460,000 US dollars. It is estimated that this kid came to Hong Kong for this matter, and he thought that Guozhong couldn't find out, and your grandfather used to be the political commissar of the Peace Mine Guarding Force?

Vasily was indeed a little disappointed, but more of a forcibly suppressed excitement.

To his disappointment, he originally thought that the 5-carat rough diamond would be very sought-after here, but looking at the transaction records, no one traded the rough diamond here. The calm Vasily did not go to find a place to trade, but first went to the service desk to read the information carefully, and then realized that rough diamonds are not often traded here. If you want to trade, you have to find a few specific local jewelers, and the price is less than 20% of the sale price of the finished diamond. How could Vasily accept such a price, hesitated for a long time before taking out a rough diamond to test the waters, trying to call out a price of 100,000 US dollars, and the merchants who came to inquire looked at him like fools, turned around and left his seat.

What excites him is that the three rough diamonds in his pocket were all purchased at a very low price, and as long as he has enough funds, he can buy more!

Sun Ziming patted him on the shoulder with a smile and comforted: "Vasily, don't sell if you are not satisfied with the price, these things will appreciate." In this industry, the biggest profit is in the sales link, hateful capitalists! ”

Vasily's face was slightly brighter, and he smiled: "Ming, take me to the Swiss bank, it's not good for us to walk away for too long!" ”

Although this guy hides it well, the different color in his eyes can't deceive Sun Ziming, the director, not to mention that this kid's hands are still trembling slightly.

"Let's go, then"

By the time they had helped the three young men to open their accounts with the Union Swiss Bank, put their pitiful two or three hundred thousand dollars into their respective accounts, and each of them got the Swiss bank's checkbook, it was already sunset. The golden sunset shone on the excited faces of the three of them like a layer of golden light, and Sun Ziming and Yang Guozhong smiled in their hearts, the charm of wealth is indeed great enough.

A few people took Mr. Huo's private helicopter back to Macau, and Manager Zheng led the team to arrange everyone to the Lisboa Hotel, and the luxury of the five-star hotel really shocked the three young people.

Sun Ziming accompanied the three young people to a lavish dinner, asked Yang Guozhong and Manager Zheng to take them to the room, and went back to the guest room to rest. Lisboa Hotel is not as good as its own, only to provide guests with gaming entertainment, as long as you can think of the enjoyment, here can be provided, provided that you have enough money, this is the largest and most high-end sales in Asia, gentle township. These three young people, under the leadership of a Macau pass like Manager Zheng, it would be good if they could get up tomorrow. This has to be persuaded by Yang Guozhong, otherwise he will go to the casino to see, and it is estimated that the dollar will be given to the gambling king sooner or later.

Drinking tea, after reading a script that Sun Ziming brought, he was about to put forward his own revisions, when Yang Guozhong came back unexpectedly, followed by Vasily, who had obviously just done a good job and had a radiant face.

This Soviets really have self-control, Yang Guozhong stayed here for half a month, and he still came to arrest him himself. Otherwise, this drunken gold fan, wine and beauty would have become a waste!
