Chapter 9: Tracing the Roots
Not to mention, it's no wonder that Manokov relies on him, Inovich is really related, in Russia he can get almost anything. Moreover, the cheap ones will take your breath away, from trucks to steel, aluminum, and wood; As small as tires, milk jugs, and watches, as the chairman of the company, he can really grasp things.
His payment methods are also very flexible, trading goods, letters of credit, cash, any way, Inovic has money in the bank, these are not problems at all.
However, Inovich also has a requirement for Manokov, that is, the goods shipped back to Russia must be items closely related to daily life, except for clothing, shoes and hats, jeans, chewing gum, glasses, bicycles, and even pork!
At that time, Russia lacked these things, and in our country, factories that made these things were almost everywhere, and many township enterprises could do it, and the profits were not small. So, a lot of people were enthusiastic about these businesses at that time!
Anyone who has been to Yabao Road knows that there are almost everywhere such clothing, shoes and hats stores, bustling around, whether Chinese or foreigners, almost all of them are people related to these businesses. When Manokov first came to the company to contact business, he looked at him as white and clean, as if he didn't even know what business was. But the amount of goods that can be opened is very exciting.
Orders start with 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of pieces, especially jeans and denim shirts. At that time, everyone was worried, would he be able to buy so many goods? Even if he buys it back, will he be able to sell it?
But it didn't take long for this worry to disappear. Because it's strange to say, what Manokov did was a rumor, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was pulling goods from the whole plane to Russia!
Looking at the mountain of daily necessities, the initial worry was not unreasonable. But Manokov seems to have a special way, not only does he have a smooth market, but he also seems to have no goods at all, and he can't save them. Or why does he always pay for goods with dollar bills? That's a stack of genuine, "rattling" brand new dollars, isn't it a cheap ruble?
Later, I learned that all the sales of Manovich depend on this one person, that is, the chairman of their company, and his partner Inovich, this old man, not only can sell in Russia, but also sell this large number of clothes to Eastern European countries - he not only has sales channels in these countries, but also retains a growing number of orders, the demand is huge, and the potential is endless!
"That's what Inovich, he really has a way in Russia", who didn't say that at the time?
When I first started doing business with the Russians, looking at their little white faces, they were all cultural people, Chang Jianming thought that people wouldn't do business, but now, they can actually owe us $2 million in payments, and they can actually turn us around, experts in foreign trade business, "and say that people can't do business"? He shook his head, a wry smile of self-deprecation on his face.
"But the whole thing, what's the problem?" He pondered.
"Boss, what are you still thinking about?" Looking at the chairman who was tossing and turning, he didn't feel sleepy at all, Liu Yilong knew that he wasn't asleep at all, so he chatted with Chang Jianming again.
"Alas, such a large sum of money, people are dead, I don't know if I can get it back, you say, how can I sleep"? Chang Jianming looked at Liu Yilong, and suddenly remembered a question: "Hey, Lao Liu, who first came into contact with Manokov in this Russian business"?
"Chairman, you forgot? It's Gou Zhongshan! Didn't you let me take over since he had an accident? In fact, at that time, didn't the backlog of payments already start"?
"Oh, yes, how did I forget about him", fundamentally speaking, this Russian business, didn't it start from him........?
