Early in the morning, when the 101 workshop of the Red Star Factory was close to the wharf, Sun Jiangtao took a few young workers to bring all the guys and began to process the more than 50 off-road vehicles parked here.

Like the previous batch of cars, the engine code and frame code were re-marked, and the hand-made Libiao Red Star LOGO was carefully welded on, and then beautified.

Sun Jiangtao and his apprentices are familiar with this matter. It's just that if it weren't for Li Lu's help in sending his son Sun Xiaojun into the tank regiment to experience life, the dignified eighth-level fitter would not have come over to help with this kind of small favor.

Li Lu, on the other hand, was looking at two off-road vehicles that were more square and masculine than the LC80, which were two LC70s. Everything has changed, and in another time and space, the car won't be available until three years later, and Mitsui Nohara told him that the car was officially on sale in China.

Among this batch of cars, there are ten V31s, twenty-one V33s, and twenty-seven LC80s, and these two brand-new LC70s were purchased by Mitsui Nohara as gifts to Li Lu.

"Mitsui, your gift is too heavy, how embarrassing is this." Li Lu said with a smile.

Mitsui Nohara followed Li Lu step by step, always maintaining a slightly bent posture, and said, "The cooperation with Mr. Li is very pleasant, and the smooth entry of our Mitsui company's products into the Chinese market is all due to Mr. Li." I'm sorry for being offended before, but I didn't expect Mr. Li to be able to set up a qualified import and export company. Our president said that he hoped to cooperate with Mr. Li for a long time. This gift is not a tribute. ”

The reason why his attitude and Mitsui's attitude have changed so much is entirely because Li Lu's Red Star Machinery Import and Export Company has obtained the qualification, although it is only temporary, but who can be sure that it will not be turned permanent?

Seeing Li Lu's strength, Mitsui Nohara's attitude naturally changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

In this way, just two LC70 off-road vehicles are really nothing.

As for Li Lu's actions of replacing those V31, V33, LC80, with the LOGO of Red Star, etc., Mitsui Nohara doesn't care at all - they are not car manufacturers anyway!

Li Lu was very satisfied with Mitsui Nohara, smiled and nodded, and couldn't put it down** the engine cover of the LC70, and said, "Mitsui, I think we can consider expanding the scope of cooperation." First of all, you have to bring up this supply. You can't come and go like this with dozens of cars. ”

Most of the freighters that arrived at the port before were electrical, but there were only so many dozens of vehicles. The electrical appliances were first in the hands of the Red Star Import and Export Company, and then transferred to the Fenyuan Company, which purchased them at the normal price. As for the vehicle, in the hands of the Red Star Import and Export Company, it is equivalent to the hands of the Red Star Tractor Factory.

Mitsui Nohara said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Li, we also want to increase the supply volume, and we are already working hard to improve. ”

Li Ludao, "It doesn't have to be limited to off-road vehicles, cars, vans, as long as it's four-wheeled, it's all fine." If you look at Jack, you can't get a whole vehicle, you can take the way of parts, or even look for second-hand cars. ”

After thinking about it, Li Lu said, "That's it, I'll pull a list for you, and after you return to China, follow the list." ”

Mitsui Nohara Michi, "But this settlement method ......"

This is a problem, Li Lu has no foreign exchange in his hand, and now whether it is with Mitsui Nohara or with Jack, he uses Huaxia currency for settlement. In the case of a small amount, they can still accept it, and they can exchange it for dollars or simply purchase fixed assets. But once the amount goes up, it's obviously hard for them to accept.

Huaxia coins are worthless when they go out of the border.

Li Lu didn't have the ability to buy so much foreign exchange, let alone the right to use it.

After thinking for a while, Li Lu said, "Use Hong Kong dollars to settle, or transfer it, it's a bit cumbersome, after all, it can be realized." ”

Mitsui Nohara nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that Fenyuan Company is also your industry, Fenyuan Company is a Hong Kong-funded joint venture, it stands to reason that the headquarters of Fenyuan Company should be in Hong Kong, and it is also in line with the policy to transfer through Fenyuan Company." ”

The state government has issued relevant regulations, and enterprises with Hong Kong-funded components such as Fenyuan Company have indirectly obtained the right to use foreign exchange relatively freely through transit.

At present, there is only this way, which is much more reliable than seeking help from the Guangming Factory, and even if Wang Jiaqing is willing to help, this kind of thing is not something he can say. If the bright factory wants to use foreign exchange, it needs to be approved at all levels.

Li Lu is very polite to Mitsui Nohara, and he can even say that he has a good attitude. Li Lu has a very strong sense of nationality, and he has never liked the people of the island country, but in today's environment, he has to use any force that can be used, so he does not hesitate to overcome his emotions and show a good attitude towards Mitsui Nohara.

Mitsui is a company specializing in import and export trade, and it does not produce any products, but it has close ties with many heavy industry enterprises in the island country.

The obvious point is, how did Mitsui get these cars? How can it be sold to Huaxia at such a price? Li Lu no longer understands trade, and he can guess that there is a greasy thing in it. And this kind of Mitsui company is Li Mu's favorite - he is afraid that you are not afraid of shadows.

Li Lu led Mitsui Nohara out of the back door of workshop 101, and when he went out, he was at the wharf, and he could feel the refreshing sea breeze two or three hundred meters ahead.

It just so happened that the freighter from the island country that had completed the formalities after unloading the cargo was setting sail, and was slowly leaving the dock and heading to the channel under the towing of the pilot ship.

The ship had to continue south, unloading and loading cargo along the way, all the way to the terminal in Singapore, and then returning the same way, loading and unloading all the way. Such a liner often takes one or two months to run back and forth, and if it is a transoceanic liner, it will not be able to come back in less than half a year.

Li Lu asked, "Mitsui, can you hire a special line freighter to improve the efficiency of transportation?" ”

Mitsui Nohara was slightly stunned and said, "Yes, yes, but that requires a long-term contract, and the shipping company may not accept a contract of carriage for less than one year." The problem we are facing is that a year's special line transportation is calculated as a round trip a month, and it is twelve round trips a year. This requires a large amount of transportation to support, otherwise the shipping cost alone eats up a large part of the profit. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Li Lu said, "I can guarantee the sales here, as long as you can provide enough supply." ”

Mitsui Nohara shook his head slightly and said, "Even if I provide you with enough cargo, the freighter will still return empty, which is a great waste." will eat up a large portion of your profits. ”

Li Lu smiled, "Who said that I returned empty-loaded." Red Star Import & Export Co., Ltd. has the qualification to export goods. ”

"Exporting island nations?" Mitsui Nohara was taken aback, and couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Li, you're laughing." ”

"I'm not kidding." Li Ludao, "Is it difficult to export agricultural products or raw materials to island countries? ”

Mitsui Nohara frowned and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, our president said that you are a capable person. It turns out that you already have all the plans, but I am too worried. ”

Li Lu said with a smile, "You sell me machinery, I sell you agricultural products, there are contacts, and win-win cooperation is business." ”

"You are in charge of the formalities on the Huaxia side, and our Mitsui Company is in charge of the island country, no problem, Mr. Li."

"That's very good."
