Chapter 226: Double the Business
Zhao Zhuo nodded:
"As for your ability, I have already heard Sun Lin say it, and I am relieved of this."
After a pause, Zhao Zhuo looked at Chkalov and said with some hesitation:
"It's just... I don't have enough money to buy all the meat this time."
Hearing this, Chkalov was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some hesitation:
"So what do you mean?"
赵卓 says:
"I was thinking, Mr. Chkalov, can you help us talk, pay part of the money first, and pay the rest within the specified time?"
Although Chkalov had already expected it, he was still slightly surprised when he heard Zhao Zhuo's words, he didn't expect that Zhao Zhuo, such a big boss, would worry about such a sum of money.
Chkalov asked half-convinced:
"This... With such a large scale of Zhuoyun Company, can't it even come up with such a single money?"
Zhao Zhuo shook his head:
"It's not that we can't get it, it's just that the funds we prepared when we came here were not sufficient, and it takes a process to mobilize funds from the country to this side, and it's a little too late."
Saying that, Zhao Zhuo pretended to be a little helpless:
"So, you'll need to negotiate something about this."
Hearing this, Chkalov weighed it, and then said with some embarrassment:
"I'm afraid that's unlikely. After all, Andre and Anton's side, I also contacted them for the first time, and there is no basis for cooperation, so I'm afraid people won't agree to such a form of advance payment."
Seeing Chkalov's embarrassed appearance, Zhao Zhuo also pretended to think about it, and then said with a slight smile:
"Mr. Chkalov, then, as long as you can negotiate this matter, let me pay half of the advance payment first, and pay the rest of the money within ten days, then I will give you ten times the commission for this business!"
Hearing this, Chkalov subconsciously looked up at Zhao Zhuo, as if he didn't believe what Zhao Zhuo said.
You must know that the commission taken by Chkalov, the middleman, is not low, and a tenfold increase can be said to be a very large amount of money. Add to that the two hundred roubles he cheated out of each pound of beef, which together is almost worth three years of his income as a middleman!
A business has been done for three years, and such a good thing makes Chkalov suddenly tangled.
Although Zhao Zhuo's request is really a little difficult, he gives too much!
After thinking about it for a long time, Chkalov had to say:
"That's... I'll give it a try."
When Zhao Zhuo heard this, he nodded with a smile, patted Chkalov's shoulder and said:
"Good! I believe you, there must be no problem! Good news waiting for you!"
Chkalov thought of the high intermediary fee and nodded heavily.
Just do it, Chkalov did not sit anymore and went directly to Andrey's cattle farm outside the city.
As soon as he arrived at the door and had not yet entered, Chkalov shouted:
"Andrei, I've got good news for you!"
Andrei was already waiting for Chkalov's arrival at the cattle farm, and when he heard this, he got up and went out:
"Oh, what's the good news?"
Chkalov said with a smile:
"Great news! That Huaxia merchant has decided to double down on your beef!"
Although he had already known the news, Andre was also very dedicated, and said with a surprised expression when he heard this:
"Really? That's great! That's a lot of business!"
Seeing the look of surprise on Andrei's face, Chkalov quietly felt a little relieved.
Andrei is so happy, it should not be difficult to talk about the question of money.
So, Chkalov got straight to the point, pretending not to be surprised:
"By the way, it's just that Zhao Zhuo's funds are a little unturnable, so you have to go first
Pay 50% of the advance payment and settle the rest within 10 days.
You can rest assured that I have not dealt with Zhao Zhuo's company once or twice, and the money will definitely arrive on time."
Hearing Chkalov finish the first half of his sentence, Andrei's smile suddenly retracted, and then looked at Chkalov with a playful expression.
Facing Andrei's expression, Chkalov felt a little bottomless in his heart, but he still managed to finish his words.
And after Chkalov finished speaking, Andrei said lightly:
"Mr. Chkalov, this is impossible, I can only accept one hand to pay the money and one hand to deliver the goods, and what advance payment is ten days, I don't accept it at all!"
Chkalov didn't expect Andrei's attitude to be so tough, and he was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.
After organizing the language for a long time, Chkalov said slowly:
"Actually, it's not unacceptable. If you think about it, that's double business, and it's not that you don't give money, but you have to wait ten days for half of the money, which is a very common thing in business..."
Before Chkalov could finish speaking, Andrei simply and rudely interrupted him directly. This time, Andrei's attitude was already a little impatient:
"Mr. Chkalov, you don't have to tell me about this uselessness. Ten days later? Who knows what will happen ten days later? I don't know that Huaxia businessman, what should I do if he runs away with the goods and disappears?"
Chkalov hastened to explain again:
"You can definitely rest assured of this, I just said that I have not dealt with Zhao Zhuo's company once or twice, they are absolutely honest."
This time, Andrei sneered and listened to Chkalov's words, and then said lightly:
"Mr. Chkalov, I think you seem to have forgotten that this is just the first time the two of us have done business, right?
It's not that I can't trust you, it's that we don't seem to know each other."
As soon as he said this, Chkalov was immediately very embarrassed.
After all, there is nothing wrong with what Andre said, and the two of them are indeed just dealing with each other for the first time, and it is just a very normal thing to believe it.
But when Chkalov thought of the high intermediary fees, he was naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity. So, he used what he had learned all his life to persuade Andre like a lotus flower.
In the end, Andre finally said helplessly:
"Okay, okay, just make sense of what you just said. However, this fifty percent advance payment is certainly impossible, too little!
I'm paying double the price of the cow, but I'm only getting double the price I agreed upon, and I can't accept it."
Hearing that Andrei was relieved, Chkalov was overjoyed. After all, things have finally turned around.
Chkalov hurriedly asked:
"How much do you think is the right amount of upfront?"
