[232] Secret meeting
"Mr. Yao, that's your girlfriend?"
Yao Fan turned his head to see Mary, the sales manager, standing beside him.
"I'll give you an address, you guys pull Pamela over, and I'll drive away Maserati myself."
Yao Fan ignored Mary's curiosity, wrote down the address of the Pearl Community on a piece of paper, and drove out of the car dealership in a Maserati.
That night, Yao Fan picked up Liu Zhefu outside the airport.
"Lao Liu." Yao Fan saw Liu Zhefu outside the airport and shouted affectionately from afar.
When Liu Zhefu saw Yao Fan coming to the airport to pick him up in person, he was really moved in his heart, and hurriedly greeted him.
On Yao Fan's Maserati, Liu Zhefu was hooked.
Yao Fan said with a smile: "I really have an urgent matter to come to you this time, my customers have to make a purchase again, but there is another condition, they need to exchange the gold in their hands for RMB." ”
Liu Zhefu sat in the co-pilot, his hands calmly resting on the leather bag on his lap.
"What do you want to buy this time?"
"56 and a half, about three million, five billion rounds of ammunition, 300,000 Type 81 light machine guns, plus heavy artillery, naval patrol gunboats.
In addition to conventional weapons, my client wants to procure a fleet of equipment and technology for the manufacture of munitions, with a view to enabling the production of its own light weapons, ammunition and artillery. ”
Liu Zhefu listened happily to it, and his mouth couldn't close.
"Okay! That's fine! You're right to come to me! ”
Yao Fan said: "But the problem is that my clients are afraid that large-scale capital flows will be tracked by some big countries, so they can only pay for gold and barter. ”
Liu Zhefu said with understanding: "Oh, so that's the case, but gold is hard currency, compared to the general barter trade, it is much more reassuring, I will make a report, and the leader will definitely approve it!" ”
Liu Zhefu listened to the deep roar of the sports car, looked ahead, and calculated the price very quickly in his heart.
"Good fellows! In this way, this order is likely to have a transaction volume of tens of billions! This Yao Fan is really a golden doll! As an international arms broker, this kid is really full of energy! ”
Yao Fan invited Liu Zhefu to eat a meal of seafood, and sent him back to the hotel, and after the two talked in detail in the hotel, Yao Fan said goodbye and left.
Before Yao Fan arrived home, he received a short message from Zhou Hanzhen on his mobile phone: "Yao Fan, we are not suitable." ”
Stuffing his phone into his pocket, Yao Fan smiled wryly and drove home to sleep.
Early the next morning, Yao Fan and Liu Zhefu went to Beijing together.
When Liu Zhefu told Cheng Shucang, the general manager of Northwest Industry, about Yao Fan's purchase request, Cheng Shucang agreed: "No problem!" Gold is gold, you ask him to deposit the gold in our designated bank, deposit it on the same day, discount it on the same day, and the price will be settled according to the average closing price of the Shanghai Gold Exchange on the day of deposit. ”
Cheng Shucang transferred Yi Rongrong, manager of the finance department of the Northwest Industrial Group Corporation, to handle the matter with Liu Zhefu, and Yao Fan signed a gold settlement agreement with Yi Rongrong, agreeing to use the Qingdao Shinan Branch of the People's Bank of China as the transaction settlement warehouse.
As the financial director of a giant company with an annual turnover of 300 billion yuan, Yi Rongrong is full of domineering: "Mr. Yao, when will your gold from Global Aluminum be landed and put into storage?" In several batches? How many tons at a time? ”
Yao Fan replied honestly: "It will all be stored tomorrow at the latest, a total of 180 tons, and now these gold have been stored in the gold futures trading and settlement warehouse of the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Bank." ”
Yi Rongrong came over according to Cheng Shucang's order, and he didn't know Yao Fan's details before, he gasped when he heard the words, and immediately looked at Yao Fan carefully, and said in his heart that this deal is really big enough, and I don't know where this Yao Fan is sacred.
Liu Zhefu stared at him and asked Yao Fan sensitively: "Are there any import procedures?" ”
Yao Fan frowned and said, "I haven't had time to do it yet, there are too many things." ”
Liu Zhefu was a little stupid, looked at Yi Rongrong and said: "Mr. Yi, look at this situation......
Yi Rongrong immediately reacted: "Although there is no tariff on gold imports, customs declaration is always required, Xiao Liu, you can't do this, something will happen!" ”
Liu Zhefu said in his heart that it was about Lao Tzu's, this is all a moth made by Yao Fan, this kid.
Yi Rongrong stood up and said, "I have to call Mr. Cheng to ask, if Mr. Cheng agrees, I will do it." ”
After that, Yi Rongrong walked out of the conference room and made a phone call to Cheng Shucang.
As soon as Cheng Shucang heard about so much gold, he also felt that things were troublesome, but when he thought of the sky-high order that Yao Fan planned to place, he commanded with confidence: "The People's Bank of China is our collection bank, and the procedures are easy to say, this customer is very important to our company's performance this year, and this transaction cannot be stuck in these trivial matters." ”
As soon as Yi Rongrong heard Cheng Shucang's instructions, he also knew in his heart that at this time, the interests of the company should be the most important.
Cheng Shucang continued to instruct on the phone: "I'll go and say hello to the Customs and Intelligence Department, in short, the transaction can't be stopped, it's true to get the contract money to the company's account first, let's leave the rest alone." ”
"Yes." Yi Rong also feels that at the current juncture when the contract is about to be signed, it should avoid complications.
So Yao Fan began to negotiate procurement matters with Liu Zhefu.
"Considering that Yao Fan's purchase amount is huge, and the profits are outrageously high, Liu Zhefu promised to deliver 56 semi-automatic, 6 billion rounds of ammunition, 300,000,000 81 light machine guns, and 100 million grenades from the 3 million combat readiness arsenal at a total price of 10 billion, and also provide a rifle factory, a bullet factory, and a grenade factory related machinery and equipment, including the smelting and processing of related special metals, the preparation and purification of chemical raw materials, and so on."
"Manager Liu, my client's industrial foundation is very weak, basically nothing can be made, but they are very studious and willing to spend money to establish a complete industrial system, at present, in terms of military industry, we do not seek to be high-tech, only to be able to reach the level of our country in the sixties and seventies, that is, mainly light weapons, and the national defense strategy is based on the people's war."
Liu Zhefu looked at Yao Fan blankly, but his heart was in one country after another, and he couldn't figure out which country's arms imports Yao Fan was acting for, and how could he be so untechnical.
Yao Fan is in line with the principle of spending money to buy peace, and happily smashed 10 billion yuan to Northwest Industry, which is equivalent to a vote, so that Northwest Industry has to pay attention to his storage and safety.
"Manager Liu, since the last time I was investigated by the intelligence department, I was very uneasy, and I hope that the Northwest Company can provide me with security protection."
Liu Zhefu said: "Mr. Yao, don't worry, after you left last time, Mr. Cheng of our company has already expressed his stance with the above." As for the specific matters, our company has a welcome banquet tonight, and Mr. Cheng will talk to you alone. ”
Yao Fan nodded silently, knowing that he had to make a reasonable explanation this time.
Only the truth is the most plausible explanation, but through this kind of thing, can it be stored as the truth?
The man-made waterfall in front of the New Era Hotel is spectacular, with water rushing down from a ten-metre-high annex building, gathering in a five-metre-high middle pool, and then suddenly pouring out of the pass and falling into the lowest man-made river. Although the man-made waterfall does not have the majesty of the natural landscape, the interlaced refraction of force and light, blending and converging, still makes the viewer feel oppressed.
Yao Fan met Cheng Shucang in the special banquet hall on the top floor of the New Era Hotel.
This is the first time he has met a CEO of a central enterprise of this level.
Cheng Shucang is over fifty years old, one meter eight tall, his white face is elegant and lean, and when he greets Yao Fan, his voice is as loud as his height.
"Mr. Yao is really generous, in a short period of time, several purchases have benefited our Northwest Industry a lot, which can really be described as a flourishing."
Yao Fan held Cheng Shucang's hand and said, "I am also very happy to bring profits to the country." ”
Cheng Shucang nodded: "Mutually beneficial cooperation is the beginning of friendship, and I am looking forward to our future cooperation." ”
The special banquet hall of the New Era Hotel is very large, but there is only one table in the seven-meter-high hall at the moment.
When Yao Fan came in, he saw Cheng Shucang and another major general in military uniform standing together and chatting. Cheng Shucang introduced after greeting Yao Fan: "Mr. Yao, this is Major General Yan Jun of the Ministry of Intelligence, and there are only three of us at today's meal. ”
Yao Fan looked at Yan Jun and felt that this person was not good-looking, but standing there gave people a neat and dignified impression.
After the three of them sat down, the wine and food came up like a stream, and then the waiter left, and only three people were left in the entire banquet hall on the top floor to eat quietly.
Everyone was not polite, they chatted with each other easily, and after three rounds of drinking, Yan Jun said:
"Mr. Yao, for your customers, can you tell us about the specific situation?"
Yao Fan took a sip of apple juice, moistened his throat and said, "Actually, I have always wanted to confess to the country, because I feel that the resources I have at my disposal are very beneficial to the country. But I've always had a question, I don't know what the state will do to me after getting the information. ”
Yan Jun said: "You can rest assured, we also know that there are many taboos in the arms business, and we will not force you to do what you don't want." The main reason why I want to check with you at the moment is because we are very concerned about your import and export channels. ”
Yao Fan nodded: "It's understandable, after all, the amount of arms I purchased is not a small amount, but the problem is not me, but your sincerity." ”
Yan Jun asked, "What kind of sincerity do you want us to show?" As long as it is within China, I can guarantee the safety of your life and property, and even arrange another identity for you. Of course, you may be concerned about your life safety when you are engaged overseas, so our meeting today is completely private, and no one knows that I am here today, and you are only here to attend the banquet as a guest of President Cheng. ”
Yao Fan said: "Actually, I have been in China all the time and have never been abroad. ”
Yan Jun's eyes looked at Yao Fan clearly, and similarly, Yao Fan also looked at Yan Jun with clear eyes.
"Are you saying you don't go through customs every time you leave the country? We know this situation, and I really want you to explain it, after all, it is not legal, especially since the underground channel is not under the control of the state, which is even more dangerous. ”
