Chapter 48: Bread or Salted Fish
Sholokhov came to the stage and said slowly:
"I'm going to host this bidding, so I'd like to tell you a little bit about the specifics before we start..."
In Sholokhov's introduction, Zhao Zhuo had a general understanding of the rules of the entire auction.
The rules can be described as simple and crude: this time, the Dara Automobile Factory took out five brand-new Dala trucks, and the four companies present each gave a price, and then Kirill judged and eliminated the one that was most unsatisfactory, and the remaining three made another bid, then Kirill eliminated one again, and finally the remaining two people made another bid, and then eliminated one.
Eventually, the remaining one was able to get the five trucks from the Dara Automobile Factory based on their bids.
After Sholokhov finished talking about the rules, Kirill slowly spoke:
"I would also like to add that this business is not a one-shot deal. The person who finally got the five trucks was able to get the exclusive right to cooperate with the Dala Automobile Factory at the same time.
That is to say, in the future, as long as we at the Dala Automobile Plant still want to make a transaction, we will give priority to listening to this person's offer. ”
When he heard this, all his eyes lit up.
Although the Dala Automobile Plant is not one of the top automobile factories in the Soviet Union, the inventory of cars in the factory is also a very staggering number.
Obtaining the exclusive right to cooperate with Dala Automobile Factory is equivalent to obtaining a steady stream of automobile resources!
Anyone can see the huge business opportunities contained in this.
All of a sudden, the other three families except Zhao Zhuo were all gearing up, looking eager to try.
It seems that they are all greedy for this exclusive right to cooperate.
Although Zhao Zhuo's expression was calm, he was a little shocked in his heart.
His shock was not because he was impressed by this exclusive right to cooperate, but because he was surprised by Kirill's methods.
Originally, a few people present came with the mentality of picking up leaks, and the psychological price of the truck would not be too high.
And after Kirill threw out the so-called exclusive cooperation rights, in order to be able to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Dara Automobile Factory, everyone will definitely raise their psychological expectations.
Coupled with this layered auction rule, the transaction price of these five trucks will not be low!
What's more, the so-called exclusive right to cooperate is just a verbal check, and whether it can be cashed in depends on Kirill's attitude!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhuo glanced at Kirill meaningfully.
Although this Soviet man is not good-looking, his methods are really extraordinary!
"Now that the auction begins, please write your bids."
Sholokhov said a word, and the auction began.
There were four people, including Zhao Zhuo, and everyone had a blank piece of paper and a pen in front of them.
Zhao Zhuo already had a plan in his heart, and he didn't even think about it, so he directly asked Yalikov to write a line on the manuscript paper.
On the other hand, the other three people didn't know how to write.
Originally, they all had their own expected prices, but now they are tempted by Kirill's rules and exclusive cooperation rights, and they don't know what to do.
Looking at the frowns of several people, Kirill was not in a hurry, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
After a few minutes, the other three instructed the translator to put pen to paper, and each wrote down their first bid.
Sholokhov put away the four pieces of paper and read out the contents of the paper next to each other.
"Mr. Liu Hao, 10,000 catties of bread."
"Ms. Sun Xiaoyu, 8,000 pieces of cotton clothes."
"Uncle Da, five thousand catties of bread."
"Mr. Zhao Zhuo, 10,000 bottles of canned salted fish, a total of 5,000 catties."
It was not the first time that several people present had done business with the Soviets, so the conditions reported were all common daily necessities, and even the types proposed by Uncle Da and Liu Hao were the same.
It's just that everyone didn't expect Zhao Zhuo to take out what it would be... Canned salted fish.
It's a daily necessity, and it's true, but it always feels like there's something weird.
Who would be idle and have nothing to do with so many canned salted fish???
The other three looked at Zhao Zhuo's eyes, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and they all felt that Zhao Zhuo must be the one who was eliminated.
But Zhao Zhuo was calm, and he could even be said to be calm.
Because he noticed that when Sholokhov said the canned salted fish, Kirill's eyes clearly lit up. Although he quickly kept himself calm, he was still keenly captured by Zhao Zhuo.
"Thank you all for your bids, the first one to be eliminated was... Uncle Da. ”
In the first round of quotations, the price given by Uncle Da was twice as low as Liu Hao's, and he was naturally eliminated in the first round.
Seeing this, Uncle Da was a little surprised at first, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He was surprised because he didn't expect that his bread would not be as good as Zhao Zhuo's canned salted fish.
And the wry smile is because Liu Hao's bid is a little too high.
His current convoy was exchanged for various living materials from the hands of the Soviets.
Originally, according to his speculation, 5,000 catties of bread was already a lot, but he didn't expect that Liu Hao would open his mouth twice as much.
10,000 catties of bread is converted into 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.
Such a high price is unacceptable to Uncle Da.
"It seems that the era of a bottle of wind oil essence can be replaced by a radio has passed, and the little courage I have left is no longer suitable for such a business.
It seems that I should guard my convoy and live a safe and secure life. ”
Uncle Da sighed and said lightly.
In Uncle Da's eyes, as there are more and more transactions between China and the Soviet Union, many Soviets are not as easy to fool as before. Although there is still a gap between the prices of materials between the two sides, it is not as big as before.
Liu Hao smiled proudly when he saw Uncle Da sighing. Although 10,000 catties of bread is really not a small amount, Liu Hao couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw that he was beating his competitors.
Hearing Uncle Da's words, Zhao Zhuo smiled faintly.
Because, compared with the price paid by Uncle Da and Liu Hao to buy bread of tens of thousands of yuan, Zhao Zhuo's 10,000 bottles of canned salted fish are only worth 2,000 yuan!
At the beginning of the cannery, Wang Penggang's hair was about to turn gray because of this batch of canned food, so where could he care about the price or not.
In the end, Zhao Zhuo made an offer of 6,000 yuan to buy 30,000 bottles of canned food, and Wang Penggang had already taken care of losing money or losing money, so he hurriedly agreed.
In other words, these canned salted fish in Zhao Zhuo's hand are only two cents per bottle, which is extremely cheap!
I don't know if Uncle Da and Liu Hao would be surprised if they knew that Zhao Zhuo was such a low cost, and what they would think in their hearts.
