Chapter 37: Trading Companies
Early in the morning, there is a one-to-one service butler to deliver breakfast to the door.
Tang Dao was wearing pajamas and holding a copy of the USA Today newspaper, habitually learning about the world pattern.
Although journalists are notoriously bottomless, and it is easy to lead people into the article by wantonly swearing their own ideas, in the newspapers of different countries, what you see is "public opinion guidance" for the purpose of political service. But I have to say that this trick is very good, Lao Maozi was not dragged to death like this.
It is signed: "VPS. colvinβγ Stanford University International Affairs Research Expert!
I don't know where I got the birdman...
Tang Dao folded the newspaper, stood up, threw it on the coffee table, and walked to the dining table in the room.
"Sir, do you need a drink?" The butler, who was wearing flat shoes and a delicate appearance and light makeup, shook Louis XIII in his hand and asked.
"Of course." Tang Dao spread his hands, pulled out the chair to adjust the comfortable position, and looked out of the half-height window, which was opposite the Chrysler Building, which was the first skyscraper, with a height of 320 meters and 77 floors. Walter S. P. Chrysler demanded that they be made into ornaments that looked like car radiator caps, as a sign of his illustrious automaker-making empire.
The sharp top went straight into the sky.
Inside is a business building, but around 2000, this building was also auctioned off due to poor management.
The housekeeper held the red wine in both hands, gently placed it on the left hand side of the Tang knife, and bowed slightly, "Sir, use it slowly, if you need it, please call me." With that, she pushed the dining cart away, and as soon as she walked on her front feet, Robert knocked on the door and came in.
"Boss, you call me?"
"Sit down and have some breakfast." Tang Dao pointed to the opposite side, and Robert sat obediently and stared.
After Tang Dao helped him pour the wine, he said slowly, "I think we will go and send warmth to those Soviets instead." β
When Robert heard this, his eyes narrowed, his right hand put on the table, his body leaned forward slightly, and his ears were sideways, he knew that the boss was going to have a new move again, so he didn't speak, and listened to the other party continue, "You take a few people and go to the airline to charter a cargo plane to Germany, the price doesn't need to be pressed, but don't go too far." β
Going to Germany?
Robert looked at his boss in confusion, but the latter just took a sip of red wine into his mouth, took a sip of wine, looked at the remaining sip, shook it slightly, and looked at Robert through the wine glass, and the other party's face was still slightly deformed.
"Also, don't use my name."
"Understood." He bowed his head very sensibly, waited for a few seconds, and found that the boss had nothing else to order, so he got up and went to prepare, and the red wine in the wine glass did not move.
Tang Dao put down the cutlery, wiped his mouth with a napkin, walked to the TV, and pressed a business card on the top, "BTA Trading Company." β
This is one of the largest foreign trade companies in New York, there are nearly three routes alone, across Asia, Europe and Africa, and they also undertake the transportation work of the US military fighting abroad, several wars in the 20th century, they have their figure, and have been shortlisted in the American magazine "Fortune" The world's top 500 ranked 489th, and the output value reached 1.7 billion US dollars in 1990.
And this business card is the phone number of the general agent of the United States, Tang Dao asked Julia of the Swiss Bank. Hudson is coming.
This is also a pick-up route to expand your network.
Tick Tick Tick Tick...
Tang Dao picked up the mobile phone and pressed the number, the sound of the button was quite honest, and after a long silence, someone picked it up.
"Good afternoon, who are you looking for?" Listening to the voice, the qi on the other side was a little weak, as if he was a little older.
"Isaiah. Mr. Heyaud? β
"It's me, who are you?" The other party's tone was puzzled.
Tang Dao looked at the name on the business card, which looked like a Jew, casually put the business card on the table, took the mobile phone and pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window to the balcony, looked condescendingly at the crowd walking on the crosswalk below, and said in a calm tone, "My name is Nicholas, I am the head of The savio company, and I want to order a batch of daily necessities in Germany." β
βThe savioοΌβ
Isaiah in the office frowned, as a Jew, he couldn't hate the name, it was disrespectful to the faith!
But as a Jew, he couldn't refuse the door-to-door business, and with a tangled face, he waved his hand to the employees sitting in front of him, signaled them to wait for a while, and looked at his watch, "Mr. Nicholas, I have a meeting to go, let me tell you my salesman's number." β
"Are you sure they can decide on a business order worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
Tang Dao's rhetorical question on the other end of the phone made Isaiah stunned for a moment, but then, he was very anxious, "Please wait." Holding the microphone, he knocked on the table, "That's all for today's meeting, adjourn." β
So simply?
The employees who were all ready to be in a daze couldn't believe it, and walked out side by side in confusion, muttering quietly.
Isaiah sat in his chair with a smile on his face, "Sir, you say, hundreds of thousands of orders? β
He also has pressure, although he is the general agent of the United States, but BIA has a layout all over the world, and he is only one of the hundreds, but this North American leader is pressed by the Asian region on the list at the end of every year, and the president of North America at his head is already very dissatisfied with his delayed behavior.
God knows how stressed he is.
The list of hundreds of thousands of dollars is enough for him to face it squarely.
"I need to bring in a batch of daily necessities from Germany, I don't need you to help me transport them, we have our own cargo plane, we just need to pull things down the airport." The reason why Tang Dao chose Germany is because the German government has tax cuts and subsidies for daily necessities, which are relatively cheap, and he first flew to Germany empty-handed, and then chose to fly to Ukraine at that time, so that he would not be targeted by people with intentions.
In this business, you have to be low-key and cautious.
The CIA's eyes were so tight that he didn't want to be thrown in to pick up soap.
Although Isaiah was surprised by the request of the "customer", he was also a little disappointed, without the transportation, their profit points were much less, "Yes, what daily necessities do you need?" β
"Coats, canned fruits, sea soul shirts, toothpaste..."Tang Dao said that there are nearly dozens of car types, and Isaiah took out his pen and recorded them one by one, these things are so special.
"Huh? Sir, how much do you need approximately? β
Tang Dao on the other end was silent, "Can you buy it by the ton?" β
Isaiah's pen almost fell to the ground.
"Forget it, I want $1 million in goods, but 35% for food, 15% for clothes, and 50% for daily necessities, and I will deliver it to the airport in Berlin in three days."
Of course, Tang Dao knew that under such a "loose" requirement, there would definitely be catliness, and if it was himself, he would also suppress it.
But he doesn't care about this detail, you have to give someone someone some soup to drink, you can't be strict with everything, sometimes one eye open, one eye closed, can make the cooperation between the two sides more pleasant.
Also, Isaiah is not stupid, he will secretly eat a bite at most, but if the whole cake is ruined, he and BTA will have to get in trouble.
"Yes! Please pay the down payment first, $300,000, and our fee is five points. Isaiah said.
"Give me the account number and I'll have someone call you."
Isaiah said the company's bank account number, "I'll let them sort it out as soon as possible." β
"Thank you very much, Mr. Isaiah, I have something to do."
"Then we'll talk next time, goodbye." The Jew continued, hung up the phone, and looked at the things written on the paper, and he always felt that the man across from him was so mysterious, could it... What are the business opportunities?
He drew a circle with his pen and couldn't help frowning.
