Chapter 1284: The Misunderstanding of the Merchant

The next day, February 25, 1997, Li Siwen chartered a plane and sent the employees of the garment factory to Moscow.

The trouble in the garment factory is over, but Li Siwen's trouble has not been resolved, as long as there is no news from Moscow, Bo will definitely not let him go.

During this period, Li Siwen and Mr. Zhu talked on the phone twice, and in each other's words, the purchase of warships is not trivial, this belongs to the docking between countries, and it is basically impossible to negotiate within a few days, and the only thing that can be done above is to do their best to communicate.

Li Siwen also told Mr. Zhu his idea, and he would smash the money if it was a big deal, but this opinion was rejected by the other party, because Mr. Zhu felt that the arms deal with Xiong Guo was a long-term deal, and the span would even be tens or hundreds of years, so if it was not a last resort, the price would naturally be as low as possible, otherwise this order would feed Xiong Guo, and the follow-up arms import would be difficult to discuss.

Although Mr. Zhu rejected Li Siwen, he also promised him that he would definitely get this matter done, so that he could rest assured.

Sure enough, on March 1, Mr. Zhu brought good news, saying that Moscow had agreed to sell two Modern-class destroyers to Li Siwen at a price of 300 million US dollars each, but the requirement was that the warships should be purchased in Li Siwen's personal name and not allowed to be used for military operations for three years.

Moscow's decision is very learned, because Britain has announced in advance that it will sail warships into the Xiangjiang River on April 1, so at this time, it will obviously offend Britain to provide warships for China, which is why there is the above requirement, Moscow obviously wants not to offend Britain and the West, and second, it can make money.

This is the negotiation between countries, which is never something that ordinary people can control, and even Li Siwen can't help but sigh at the old scheming inside.

"It will not be used for military operations for three years, which means that my two warships will not be able to help in this Xiangjiang crisis, which ......" Li Siwen was a little worried.

"If you rely on your two warships to save it, wouldn't it be a joke?" Mr. Zhu replied with a smile.

"Hey, listen to the boss's tone, is it a pinch?" Li Siwen also laughed.

"You don't care about the above, it's certainly not a bad thing to buy these two warships, our team of experts and members of the professional fleet will soon arrive in Moscow, and they will meet you and go to the headquarters of the Far Eastern Theater of Operations together for the final confirmation procedure. You wait for the notification over there, I'll hang up first. Mr. Zhu said.

"Wait." Li Siwen hurriedly stopped the other party.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Zhu asked rhetorically.

"First of all, it has to be fast." Li Siwen said.

"Don't worry!" Mr. Zhu replied.

"Secondly, 700 million US dollars is equivalent to 6 billion Huaxia coins, I don't have so much money on hand, can you pull out a little bit from it?" Li Siwen said with a smile.

"If I remember correctly, it's been less than a year since you went to the Netherlands and squandered tens of billions of dollars, right? The treasury is about to be emptied by you, and you still ask me to pick some points for you? Mr. Zhu said with a little anger.

"Oh, boss, is it so exaggerated, how can you learn to cry poor when you are such a big person? And sooner or later, my two warships will be yours, and I will help out somewhat. "Li Siwen stalked and stalked.

"You can rest assured, considering the final ownership of the warship, the country will definitely not let you take this money for nothing, and after three years, when the warship can be used in the military field, we can buy it for you at the market price." Mr. Zhu said slowly.

The corners of Li Siwen's mouth twitched, not to mention how much the value of these two warships will depreciate in three years, let's just say that the maintenance cost in the past three years is also hundreds of millions, thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Boss, you are better than me in business!" ”

"Where's that?" Mr. Zhu laughed.

"Okay, I don't plan to let you pay this money at all, but you can't pay for it, so you should help me borrow some money from the major banks in Beijing, right?" Li Siwen asked.

"That's okay, how much do you want to borrow?" Mr. Zhu asked.

"The more the merrier." Li Siwen and Mr. Zhu tugged at each other, and finally decided to take out a loan of twenty first.

The corners of the sparrow's mouth were always upturned, and only after Li Siwen hung up the phone did she say curiously: "Are you really a businessman?" It's hard for me to understand what you're doing, doing these things with huge loans on your back, and you're not afraid of breaking the capital chain? ”

"Money is the most useful thing in this world, but also the most useless thing, do you know what the biggest misconception of businessmen is?" Li Siwen asked rhetorically.

"What is it?" The sparrow tilted its head.

"Ninety-nine percent of businessmen think that making money is the most important thing, but in fact survival is the most important thing." Li Siwen pursed his lips and smiled: "It's the same as paying protection money, and you will understand it in the future." ”

The sparrow felt a little profound, and wanted to ask, but saw the detonator coming over: "Boss, the detonator is here, saying that he wants to ask you to go to dinner, and he will personally entertain you in the largest restaurant in the city." ”

At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Siwen, Sparrow, Detonator and Bo sat down at a wine table, along with the leaders of the city, customs, immigration administration and other departments.

"Mr. Li, in the future, you will be a guest of our Yier City, as long as a few of us are still serving here, we will definitely treat you with the highest standard." The head of the city held a wine glass, and what he said was a good one.

"Mr. Li, we will be the closest brothers in the future, you can rest assured that the garment factory will be handed over to us!" Yu Bo also said excitedly.

The two took the lead in toasting, and the others followed suit, and after drinking for two or three hours, everyone's alcohol consumption basically bottomed out, and at this time, a soldier walked in outside, and reported: "There is a person named Xiao Zhengbang outside who wants to see Mr. Li Siwen." ”

"Find me." Although Li Siwen also drank a lot, his mind was very clear, he got up and answered, and then said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Mr. Li, do you need to send an army to protect you?" Some of the drunk Bo asked with a smile.

"No, I have bodyguards." Li Siwen pursed his lips and smiled and walked out.

Meanwhile, in an apartment in Moscow, Duke was sitting on the sofa with a cold face, drinking the most expensive coffee, but without any enjoyment on his face, and Lisven's disgusted face would appear in his mind from time to time.

"What time is it?" Duke asked.

"It's twelve o'clock." The personal bodyguard standing next to him replied.

"Haven't we heard from our people yet?" Duke asked again.

"Nope." After the man replied with two words, he reminded in a low voice: "Earl, do you really want to kill Li Siwen?" ”
