Chapter 943 Ma Kangri's cargo ship was seized!
"Dongfang, you've been busy these days, so I need your help. Our 30 cars are stuck at Portuguese customs, and they're asking for a % increase in import tariffs.
If I disagreed, they would not allow the ship to pass, so they detained the ship and refused to let it pass, and also charged various fees. "Ma Kangri's cargo was detained.
"Can we leave? When did this happen? Do the people above know about it?" Cao Dongfang asked.
"You can leave, but you have to pay 10% of the total value of the goods as port occupation fee or something like that?" Ma Kangri was helpless.
"You call the Ministry of Commerce, and I will call too. Since they have come up with this plan, let's play together. It's better for them to be reduced to ruins."
Cao Dongfang isolated himself from the people around him and made a phone call. He hung up within a minute, made another call and returned to the dinner table.
Ma Kangri was still communicating with the business person. After a few minutes, he put down the phone and returned to his seat.
"I will hand over their decision in a few hours, and they will handle the rest." Ma Kangri smiled.
“This time the excuse is pretty good, it’s good that they are a little hesitant in their actions, our military will use this incident.
You Ma Kangri is one of ours, so the military will not let you suffer any loss. There is no need to worry about the extra days. "Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
"Hahaha, please help me for my super thick thighs. I'm in trouble and everyone please help me." Knowing that the military had taken over, Ma Kangri was not in a hurry.
"How dare you say that? You're the so-called richest man, but you can't even do anything about your goods being seized. Can you please ask us to come out for a drink?" Lu Fang would not let him go.
"Dongfang and his team have more experience in handling such matters than I do. Why don't we let them handle it? They are making contributions to the country. If you don't do anything, you have worked in vain, Minister."
"Go away. The Sichuan cuisine here tastes pretty good." Lu Fang said but tried to change the subject.
"Xiao Fangzi, you also need to learn how to be an official. Small matters are handled by subordinates, while big matters are handled by leaders.
We just have nothing to do, so we go to the brothel to listen to music. This way everyone gets credit, understand, Xiao Fangzi? "
"Is the East like this?" Lu Fang questioned his life.
"He can do it, but you can't. Your jobs are different."
"Anti-Japanese, you are fooling me again. Tell Tang Juan tomorrow that you are washing your silver spear with blood again. I will make you jump every day." Lu Fang didn't want to suffer any loss.
“Don’t talk nonsense, don’t make me look like Xu Damao from the Oriental Hospital, who was bleeding when he first entered the MCA Hospital.
We just take care of the guns every day and come out to clean them occasionally. As we age, maintenance is very important. "Ma Kangri said one thing after another.
"Fuck you..." Lu Fang was speechless.
"Xiao Fangzi, this time he is telling the truth, once or twice a week, his character is still quite high, it has nothing to do with the waiter, it's just that his age is getting younger."
What is this about MCA? Testimony.
"Pack you."
"Friendship is hard to resist. I don't want to do this. Under the hospitality of the Anti-Japanese, I can only give in. The gift is still very good."
"You two are not human beings. I am ashamed to associate with you."
"Why not call Xiao Fangzi? Good things should be shared, and friendship can last forever."
"So that's the problem. Remember to call these two along next time." Ma Kangri said shamelessly.
“I think the most painful thing is that I am not in the position, but being a deputy minister makes my father very happy.
But life in the ministry is not what I want. It’s better to go to the East and do business. They won’t care about us in normal times.
Alas, I have lived for my family for thirty years, and I am unwilling to give up. "Lu Fang is a filial child.
"You should still work hard. Your son has just started working and you have been supporting him for ten years. Now you can retire! We will live happily together." Ma Kangri said with a smile.
"This is your parents' business. It has nothing to do with us. Just bear with it for another ten years, Xiao Fangzi."
"why?"
"Give birth to two older brothers who are better than you. If you don't have one, you have to shoulder the responsibility of the family, and you can't blame others."
"Xiao Fangzi, when you accepted your fate and decided to pursue a career in politics 20 years ago, you had already accepted your fate. The older you get, the harder it is to make money.
You are also in your fifties, so just live your life like this. After all, you are a deputy ministerial-level figure when you go out. Cheers. " Ma Kangri raised his glass.
"It seems so. If I can't win the fight, I won't fight. I will feel regretful."
“Bitch is still... pretentious.
.......
The transmission of some useful information was already becoming faster in the 1990s, and the emergence of the Internet seemed to make all information spread very quickly.
Three hours later after Cao Dongfang made the call.
Nine o'clock in the morning in Geneva!
"Can the Portuguese representative explain to us why we have to collect an additional 30% tariff on our merchants' goods without any prior notice. Everything appears after they enter the port...
Your country is preparing to unilaterally start a trade war, and we really want to know what your country is thinking. "The high representative asked.
"Our country is not imposing additional tariffs on your country's businessmen, but on companies from the former territories of the United States.
Our country has always believed that our previous tariffs were relatively low because of the Eagle Sauce people at that time, but now they are no longer the Eagle Sauce people, and the tariff price should be adjusted back to the appropriate tariff.
"It is an appropriate statement. It depends on the person how much tariff is charged, which means bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Please tell us your conclusion on the detained merchant ship within 24 hours.
We will also introduce policies accordingly, and we hope you will not make mistakes. "The high representative said in a light tone.
"No." The other representative was clearly lacking in confidence.
"Next, I would like to ask the Portuguese representative what determines the tariff standards. Is it for all European countries or just you?
Also, why are we going to impose import tariffs on everything we produce here instead of reducing them? Why is there no notification when it is implemented?
In this way, our businessmen are unknowingly plunged into the shameless conditions of your country.
Goods have to pay more taxes when they enter your country, more taxes when they want to leave, and still more taxes when they stay at the port.
Are you Portuguese different from bandits? You still think it was hundreds of years ago, your glorious era.
You guys are only growing in age, not in brains.
I have only one request now, that the merchant ship be released within 24 hours, that the loss of the goods be compensated at a value of 10 billion Longgo currency, and that an apology be made to our merchants.
Otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk. "The representative of Mud Monkey came forward and received the domestic notice with a very tough attitude.
"I protest. If you blackmail us again this time, we will definitely not agree to it... We will..." The Portuguese representative began to get excited.
"What are you protesting about? Everything was fine, nothing happened, but you suddenly made a plan to plunder and caused all this. If you are not responsible, who will be responsible?"
"Our approach is normal... It is based on evidence and is a result of experience..."
"Your rebuttal is invalid. I need your answer by this time tomorrow. What's the point of thinking about this, a bunch of pirates?"
"Tingting, something seems to be wrong. Our reaction doesn't seem to be that big. Lao Gao also seems to know about this. How come it has nothing to do with me?
And the mud monkey man came up with a big knife drawn and looked like he was going to chop the Portuguese, why was that? "Sister Ling didn't think it through in the audience.
"We won't just ignore it. What's the plan from above? And my dad will definitely take action. Daqin Company is one of the military's money bags."
"I can only believe that Daqin Company is serving the military. I only heard about it before. This time it's a bit interesting."
"There's going to be another war. They're really not afraid of death."
"What's the meaning?"
"These Europeans will not bow their heads. The hundreds of years they were in high positions gave them mysterious self-confidence. But all that is gone. They are just living in a dream."
Gan!
