Chapter 982 What tractor? Isn’t this just scrap steel?
Zeng Wangcai was not alone, he was accompanied by King Kong Xiaobao, and his left and right bodyguards Damao and Shazhu.
Xiao Ye came here personally with Zeng Wangcai, and as for Jenny, they acted on their own.
Zeng Wangcai no longer needs to worry about safety issues as he has the Russian army to lead the way.
"Mr. Xiao Ye, have they started loading the ship over there?" In the car, Zeng Wangcai was concerned about GLONASS.
"Yes!" Xiao Ye nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Zeng, we will keep our promise and there won't be any problems."
"Of course I trust you!" Zeng Wangcai said with a smile, "I don't trust the Americans. Although this matter is very secretive, you know your situation very well. So after we finish talking here, I will leave for a while."
"Leave? You don't care about things here?" Xiao Ye felt very disappointed. I was counting on you to help me get to the top.
"No, of course not. We can't move fast here. I'm going to take care of some things first. I'll come back after you've finalized the first agreement."
The GLONASS escort is a big deal and cannot be taken lightly.
Whether our mother can be really awesome in the future depends on how much technology she absorbs from GLONASS.
If technology is absorbed quickly, we can also have a Starlink.
Moreover, the Japanese also need to be arranged. There is a lot of work on the island, and there are many supervisors. They need to be arranged well. The most important thing is to see what the Japanese look like now.
"Don't worry, your work here will not be completed in a day or two. I will come here often... By the way, the airport on Wangye Island is about to be completed. It will be easy to fly here then. But before that, I have to find a private plane..."
Okay, you are awesome, they all have private jets, and your fucking airport is private.
The two stopped talking about this topic and started talking about their trip to the tractor factory.
"I don't understand why Mr. Zeng would negotiate with them." Xiao Ye said, "It's obvious that they really have no intention of helping us and won't help us out of our predicament. All they want is our wealth. You are undoubtedly helping them by doing this."
"You are wrong. I am helping us!" Zeng Wangcai shook his head. "You know very well that you have many tractor factories like Dzerzhin. In such industries, you have accumulated too many products that cannot be sold. No matter who invests in these enterprises, it is necessary to sell products. Besides... the major shareholder of the tractor factory is still you."
To be honest, Xiao Ye was almost moved by what Zeng Wangcai said.
How could he not be aware of the problems of his country's enterprises?
"Zeng, thank you for buying our tractor..." Xiaoye said with emotion.
"What tractor? Isn't it just scrap steel?"
"..."
Terzhin Tractor Plant.
Because of Xiaoye's arrival, the factory director's job was over. At this most secretive time, the factory, which was protected by a division, was temporarily taken over by Xiaoye.
After clearing out a part of the factory, Xiao Ye took people from both sides to visit a production workshop, and then prepared to go to the warehouse to start negotiations.
Xiao Ye was a little absent-minded. He felt that he had made a wasted trip.
Damn, I was so touched just now, thinking Zeng Wangcai wanted to buy a tractor, but it turns out this guy only wanted to buy scrap steel.
To be precise, the products of this factory are purchased at extremely low prices.
Buy new ones according to the price of old ones, and buy old ones according to the price of scrap steel.
He thinks Americans wouldn’t be that stupid, right?
But he overlooked one problem. There is no market for this thing now. They have too many of these industrial products at home and cannot use them themselves. If they don't sell them, they will just stay in the warehouse and rust.
Exchanging canned food for airplanes is not just a myth, it is a real thing.
"Mr. Zeng, you can see that this factory has excellent technology. The tractors it produces are very advanced, of excellent quality and superior performance. They will definitely meet the needs of your country..." On the way to the warehouse, Jenny talked nonstop. He was obviously unaware of Zeng Wangcai's international trader. "I hope we can reach an agreement and have a good start."
What he meant was that after this discussion, there were other things that could be discussed later.
Zeng Wangcai did not comment and listened quietly to the introduction of the factory staff behind him.
Soon, the group passed by an open-air square where tractors were parked as far as the eye could see, many of which were already rusty.
"What are these?" Zeng Wangcai asked casually.
"These are old and obsolete models!" the factory staff said. "These are not the products we want to sell. Please follow me to the warehouse, where we have well-preserved new tractors..."
The man's eyes were a little evasive, and he belittled the tractors in the square as worthless.
In fact, although these tractors look old, they show few signs of having been used.
In other words, this batch of tractors might be good, but Zeng Wangcai had no idea why they appeared here.
But there is one thing Zeng Wangcai is sure of, the factory should be planning to sell these goods privately at a low price, and perhaps the buyer is himself, after all, he is the biggest trader in the country.
Zeng Wangcai looked at Xu Damao and asked with his eyes, "Could this business be handled by our foreign trade company?"
Xu Damao understood what Zeng Wangcai meant and shook his head secretly to indicate no.
There are now an alarming number of profiteers in the country. I don’t know how many of them are trying to realize the dream of getting rich first through railway transportation lines.
"Who cares who it belongs to..." Zeng Wangcai didn't care about anything else.
The group continued to move forward and after passing the square, they came to a huge warehouse. The door of the warehouse had been opened. Due to the weather, the light inside the warehouse was not very good.
People from the factory entered the warehouse and turned on the lights inside.
Under the lights, the warehouse is full of brand new tractors.
"Haha, this is what we need to talk about!" Jenny walked into the warehouse and put his hand on the front wheel of a tractor. "Look, what a great craftsmanship! The paint can catch up with our cars. Really, I am not exaggerating. If I remember correctly, the equipment of this factory is all from our country."
People from the factory confirmed what Jenny said.
Two representatives of the capital company stood behind Jenny, looking at Zeng Wangcai with expectant eyes, hoping that he would be interested in the tractors in the warehouse.
This group of people are just like salesmen.
At this time, everyone, including Jenny, was feeling very aggrieved. They didn't understand why they had a good hand but it turned out like this.
"Mr. Zeng, what do you think? How many tractors do you plan to buy?" Seeing that Zeng Wangcai didn't say anything, Jenny couldn't help but ask.
"Sorry..." Zeng Wangcai smiled apologetically, "Actually... I don't know how to put it. Maybe there's some misunderstanding. What kind of tractor is this? Isn't this scrap steel?"
"..."
