Chapter 983 If I don’t buy it, no one will buy it
When they heard the word "scrap steel", Jenny and others' faces turned green.
What the hell is this scrap steel? Open your titanium dog eyes and take a closer look. Is there such new scrap steel?
"Mr. Zeng, this joke is not funny!" Jenny said with a slightly gloomy face, "Since you have accepted our proposal, you should show your sincerity. We have run thousands of kilometers to get here without any rest. You can't make such a joke. This is inappropriate."
"Who is kidding you?" Zeng Wangcai pointed at the factory representative. "I think he should know what I am talking about. You can go and ask him, but before that, I need to make it clear that I did say that I am interested in what the tractor factory produces and am willing to come and see if we can cooperate, but I never said that I want to buy tractors, right?"
Zeng Wangcai played the word game clearly.
Tractor factory, what else is there besides tractors?
All Jenny and his friends could think of was the infantry fighting vehicles produced by this factory, but they would not sell them, so apart from tractors, they naturally could not think of scrap steel.
"Since you are sure, I guess we don't need to proceed!"
"Okay, I totally agree, let's go..."
Zeng Wangcai turned around and left without saying a word, and Xiaobao, Shazhu and others immediately followed.
It's not difficult to find a place to live in Volga City.
Jenny's face was gloomy. He did not stop Zeng Wangcai and let him leave.
"Hey, I need an explanation, who can give me one?" one of the capital representatives said angrily.
The negotiations ended before they even began, and Xiao Ye was unable to leave for the time being.
He had to comfort her and explain.
"Let's go talk somewhere else!" Xiao Ye said helplessly.
Special show, continue at another place.
The group of people who were overjoyed came to the reception of the factory. Jenny didn't care about the unsatisfactory environment here, suppressed his anger and roared: "What's going on? A good tractor, why did he say it was scrap steel? You must know something..."
The person he was roaring at was the unlucky guy from the factory who was dragged out to give a lecture.
This kind of thing is almost an open secret in Russia.
And this factory is the sphere of influence of Xilin School, so this unlucky guy sneaked a glance at Xiao Ye, the new spokesperson of Xilin School.
Xiao Ye naturally knew about it. Now that the Americans had taken over and become shareholders of the tractor factory, it was not a good idea to hide it, so he nodded and allowed the unlucky guy to speak.
"It's like this, we have always had business dealings with Dongda..."
As soon as the unlucky guy opened his mouth, Jenny and the others were stunned.
How come I didn’t know that you were still doing business with Dongda?
Then they continued to listen to the unlucky guy's explanation. When they heard that they sold all the old tractors and even old tanks to Dongda as scrap steel, they all couldn't help but explode.
"Oh, buy it!" A representative of the capital side was furious. "How can you do business like this? The market is completely disrupted. If the price does not meet expectations, the products cannot be sold cheaply even if they rot. Otherwise, the whole market will collapse..."
They think so and do so, just like pouring milk into a ditch.
The things that were taught in textbooks when we were young were real.
"Market? Do we still have a market?" The guy from the factory got angry. "We no longer have a market. Apart from Dongda, no one will buy our products."
“Why is there no market?”
"Why is there no market? Don't you have any idea?"
"..."
Only then did Jenny and the others realize that they would have to take the blame in the end. They really had nothing to say except "Fuck."
In order to bring down the Russians, the Americans have resorted to various underhanded tactics, one of which is economic blockade.
"If we don't sell them, our unused products will be even more useless than scrap steel!" Xiao Ye concluded. "You must have seen this. This is our dilemma. We can't use so much if we produce and sell them ourselves. If you don't want to continue talking to Zeng, you can sell them somewhere else, such as the European and American markets."
Sell to European and American markets?
Give me a break!
Do you really think we are here to save you?
Even if it is, who would buy it?
We have plenty of tractors of our own...
Jenny and his friends discovered with sorrow that they were cheated quite a lot this time, and it was not as simple as just buying these assets for 12 billion dollars.
If these assets cannot be converted into cash, then they are garbage. We can't just buy scrap steel.
They suddenly realized that they had thought they had bought a bunch of cabbages at a junky price, but they didn't expect...what they bought at a junky price would ultimately be just junky.
"Jenny, we need to continue negotiating with Zeng!" A representative of the capital side calmed down, "I think you understand what I am saying and what I mean."
We are representatives, not masters.
If we suffer heavy losses, we are no longer representatives because the master will not allow it.
"Okay, let's go find him!" Jenny sighed dejectedly, "You should know that if we go find him, then... the negotiation will be unfavorable. He won't give us a satisfactory price."
"That's something we have to discuss. At least we have to get our investment back this time. Just be careful in the future!"
Look, it automatically turns in the direction Zeng Wangcai hopes.
Xiao Ye admired Zeng Wangcai very much for playing such a bad hand. He could foresee that in the next bidding, the Americans would not focus on these factories.
Zeng Wangcai stayed in the best hotel in Volga City. Before he had time to rest, Xiao Ye brought Jenny and other two to visit him.
Because the hotel did not have a presidential suite, Zeng Wangcai could only meet and talk with Jenny and others in the hotel restaurant.
"Haven't you eaten yet? I ordered some food. If you don't mind, let's eat together!" Zeng Wangcai invited Jenny to sit down at the dining table. The rectangular table could just accommodate everyone on both sides.
Although Jenny and his friends had no appetite, they were hungry and tired from the journey, so they ordered a set meal.
Soon, steaks and bread came up. Zeng Wangcai said as he cut the steaks, "It seems like you guys have figured it out. What do you think?"
"We admit that your country is the largest customer!" On the way here, Jenny discussed the negotiation strategy with the capital representative, and Jenny came forward to negotiate. He said, "But please note that you are not the only customer. We have learned that your foreign trade company is only the largest customer, not the only one. There is also a foreign trade company called 'Ruyou', which is also very powerful."
"If so? What is that?" Zeng Wangcai had never heard of this name and couldn't help but look at Xu Damao.
"It's like this. You know the boss of this company!" Xu Damao explained, "They are Mr. Fan Jinyou and Chen Xueru from Dongzhimen. Seeing that Mr. Xu had become successful, they opened a foreign trade company with him. They do the same business as us, and most of the money is raised from private sources."
Isn't this the same as our routine?
No, it’s different!
We raise funds to help everyone get rich, they raise funds because they don’t have enough money!
"I understand!" Zeng Wangcai, who was very hungry, said easily after taking two bites of steak, "Don't worry about this, our company will be the only foreign trade company. If I don't buy, no one else will buy!"
