Hanging up the phone, Yu Dongfeng immediately said to Xu Xiuxiu, who was looking around: "Xiao Xu, don't look any further, the plan has changed!" ”

"Mr. Yu, what are your new plans?" Xu Xiuxiu went abroad or was a big girl in a sedan chair once, and her head was big when she heard this.

"Zhong Bai asked us to find the high-end building materials market in Athens first, and inquire about the marble market and the import price in the past three months!" Yu Dongfeng still played the advantage of helping the lady outside, and helped Xu Xiuxiu carry her backpack and go out: "Let's move quickly, if we have a harvest today, let's go to Italy tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!" ”

"Ah??? Still going to Italy?! Xu Xiuxiu originally studied Italian, and when she heard that she was going to Italy, her little heart began to get excited!

Of course, in Greece, little girls can only communicate in English, after all, Greek is a relatively unpopular language in the world, and it is estimated that there are no more than ten people who can speak Greek at this moment.

In fact, before going out, Yu Dongfeng wanted to find a special Greek translator, but after tossing for two days to no avail, he heard Wu Xiaoping say that the level of English education in most developed countries in Europe is relatively high, as long as you bring an English translator, the basic needs can be met, and it is really not possible to find overseas Chinese to serve as Greek translators in the local area.

So Yu Dongfeng finally took Xu Xiuxiu, the "old" employee who had followed him for the longest time, to Greece together.

Although Greece was nicknamed the "Four Pigs of Europe" in its previous life in 2020, it became the laughing stock of the European Union because of the country's heavy debt and the laziness of the people who were unwilling to go to work and strike every day, but in 1982, Greece's per capita GDP has reached nearly 13,000 US dollars.

Sitting in a spacious taxi, Xu Xiuxiu sighed that developed countries are rich, while looking out the window at the high-rise buildings passing in front of her from the airport to the city of Athens, and said enviously to Yu Dongfeng: "Mr. Yu, it would be nice if we could go to work in this kind of place in the future!" ”

"Hehe, don't talk about Greece, it's the most developed MD, it's not difficult to go there, and their company is not necessarily good!" Yu Dongfeng replied nonchalantly.

His mentality of not taking developed countries seriously is naturally domineering in Xu Xiuxiu's eyes, but what Xu Xiuxiu didn't know was that if Yu Dongfeng could say such things a year ago, I am afraid that the eyes of the people around him would be scared!

If it weren't for the fact that Zhong Bai took Yu Dongfeng to develop smoothly all the way in the past half a year, from the first time he went out of the province to Guangfu to see the world, then to deal with the Italians later, and then to go back and forth to the Soviet Union and Ukraine twice, after successfully completing the large order, Yu Dongfeng did not have the previous attitude of looking up to these developed countries.

If Zhong Bai hadn't changed his plan halfway, even Baifeng Trading Company would have almost invested in building a factory in Soviet Ukraine, so Yu Dongfeng obviously couldn't understand Xu Xiuxiu's beautiful state of longing for foreign countries.

This is the normal reaction after understanding the other party better, especially Zhong Bai's prophecy that everything is like a god, so that Yu Dongfeng tasted the joy of victory again and again, so this time when he came to Greece, although the poaching target called Nikolaos is said to be a bit difficult, Yu Dongfeng is still ready for a success.

After spending the equivalent of nearly 30 yuan on the Greek currency drachma (Greece had its own independent monetary system until Greece joined the European Union in 2000), the taxi driver pulled the two to the door of the Atalus Hotel in the Ilissia district at Yu's request.

"Sir, at No. 50 Rigaristrasse in the Liseia district, which is the largest local building materials market in Athens, I hope this news can help you, and I wish you a happy and good mood in Athens again!" The bearded driver obviously answered Yu Dongfeng's question in the car very conscientiously.

"Three grams of oil." Although Yu Dongfeng couldn't understand English, after listening to Xu Xiuxiu's translation, he still took out 20 drachmas from his arms and gave them to the other party as tips.

Xu Xiuxiu frowned when she saw this, and reminded Yu Dongfeng in a low voice: "Mr. Yu, we don't exchange much foreign currency, you have to save some money!" ”

But Yu Dongfeng didn't care, just shook his head and said, "It's just a little money, we can afford it." ”

The bearded driver saw that the guests from the East were so atmospheric, and couldn't help but ask Xu Xiuxiu in English: "What is your boss going to do in the building materials market?" ”

"We ...... Our boss is going to check out the big ...... Marble quotes. Xu Xiuxiu was obviously unprepared, feeling a little unfamiliar with the English word "marble", and it took several seconds to finish speaking.

But what I didn't expect was that Xu Xiuxiu thought that this was just a polite response to the tip just now, but the amount of information in the next sentence of the bearded driver made people feel a little caught off guard!

"Marble? You came to Athens for marble? The price of marble has risen sharply in the past few days, and the local increase in Athens has exceeded 20%! And it is said that the price will continue to rise until June! The bearded driver obviously knew something about the marble market, and he couldn't help but be a little excited when he mentioned this, and replied to Xu Xiuxiu while gesturing with his hand, as if he was afraid that the other party would not understand.

Xu Xiuxiu hurriedly translated this important information to Yu Dongfeng, and the young general manager of the small factory didn't say a word, and took out the same amount of drachma from his pocket again, slapped it on the other party's hand, and said heavily: "Tell me everything you know about marble!" ”

……

Half an hour later, after completing the CHECK-IN procedures at the Atalus Hotel, Yu Dongfeng still sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby for a long time and did not come back to his senses!

Unexpectedly, I just gave a little more tip to the taxi driver, and I got an extremely important piece of information!

That is, the price of marble exports on the Athenian market has been rising for two months in a row!

Its main exit direction is further west to Spain!

The local marble production in Athens is not much, and exports have been stretched, but the demand for high-quality marble production in Spain has increased sharply recently, not to mention Greece, even Italy next to it is said that the export price has soared - of course, this taxi driver said that he is hearsay, and the authenticity needs to be verified, but the increase in the local market of Athens is guaranteed by his personality!

So, why is the source of this wave of soaring demand for high-quality marble in Europe leading to rising prices actually Spain, which everyone is not very familiar with?

This brings us to a major event in Spain in 1982.

And that's—

The 1982 World Cup in Spain will be held in mid-June!

"It seems that it is necessary to tell Zhong Bai that the marble mining and processing plant in Heyuan City has to speed up the progress!" When Yu Dongfeng thought of this, he couldn't help but wave his clenched fist hard!
