Chapter 117 The Examination of the Soul

Yan Zhendong smiled and said: It is indeed similar to what you said, except that international trade is done through banks, and there is no need to order cash. After the two parties sign the contract, the buyer has to go to the bank to freeze his payment and issue a receipt.

The credit guarantee is given to the seller to prove that you have the ability to pay for the goods. The two parties complete the transaction under the supervision of the bank. If there are no problems, the transaction is successful and the payment for the goods is cleared.

Cao Yu smiled and said: Understand, this is the process of a business deal.

He turned to Yan Tingting and said: Is this what you want Haiyan to do?

Yan Tingting felt very unhappy that he was still thinking about Zhang Haiyan in such an interesting matter, so she said disdainfully: Tsk, my mind is full of random thoughts, please listen carefully, okay? This is just a financial issue in the transaction, not the trade itself.

What Haiyan wants to do is trade, do you understand?!

Cao Yu suddenly realized, and said with a gloating smile: Oh, I understand, a broker, the kind who speculates.

When Yan Tingting heard that he had buried Tai Haiyan, she immediately felt very good. She laughed and said: Come on, stop fooling around and listen to Lao Yan.

Yan Zhendong smiled and said: What are you two talking about? I am too confused to understand.

Yan Tingting said angrily: Ignore him and go on to talk about your story.

Yan Zhendong could only scratch his head and continued: This oil transaction will be executed under the terms of the contract. The money will be divided into several batches of payments such as advance payment, payment for goods, and final payment. They will all be considered according to the contract. Any party breaches the contract.

Everyone will bear serious losses, which is a breach of contract recovery, not a risk in the sense I mentioned.

Cao Yu was puzzled and asked: What kind of risk do you mean?

Yan Zhendong said: Natural disasters and man-made disasters, force majeure causes, such as earthquakes, fires, and wars.

Cao Yu wondered: The ship is in the sea and the contract has been signed. What impact can this have?

Yan Zhendong said: Hey, the goods themselves may not have any impact, but the price has changed...

Cao Yu immediately answered: I understand, every war in the Middle East will lead to an oil crisis and the price will skyrocket.

Yan Zhendong was like a teacher meeting a smart student, and they responded to each other. He immediately became excited about this lesson, and his eyes shone brightly and said: That's right, this is the truth. Any reason that reduces oil production will lead to

The price of oil soared.

But Cao Yu looked puzzled and said: But what does this have to do with the oil transaction? The contract has been signed, the deposit has been paid, and it is just a matter of executing according to the contract.

Yan Zhendong continued to explain: It takes time for the ship to sail from the sea to the delivery dock. This means that there must be a certain delivery period, which usually takes about a week. If a war breaks out during this period, the price

There will be violent fluctuations, and sometimes the price will even double.

Cao Yu immediately replied excitedly: Break the contract. If the price change is much higher than the value of the deposit, then you can make a huge profit by breaking the contract!

He looked at Cao Yu with a smile and said: Yes, but what I want to ask is, if you were that trader and encountered this situation, what would you do?

When Cao Yu heard that he had made money, he immediately became energetic. His eyes were so excited that they glowed green. He tried hard to restrain his excitement and asked: I will discuss with the ship owner. If I can break the contract and sell it again, what will be the difference in price?

Can it be mine? Even if you can give me part of it, that would be great.

Yan Zhendong smiled and replied: What if the owner agrees that the price difference should be yours?

Cao Yuli immediately said confidently and tremblingly: If you break the contract, do you still need to ask? Of course it is a break of the contract!

Yan Tingting looked at Cao Yu's greedy look and felt depressed in her heart. Some things should not be joked about, but things that cannot be joked about should not be angry. In front of her parents, she must give it to the person she likes.

To save face, she could only comfort Yan Zhendong sadly and said: Look at his virtue, Lao Yan, I said you can't teach him anything good, he was joking, don't listen to his nonsense.

Yan Zhendong ignored his daughter's complaints and continued to ask: Why do you think so?

Cao Yu glanced at Yan Tingting and said in a half-joking and half-serious tone: I'm not joking. This is not obvious. God-given opportunity, if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain. If you can make a fortune, it's a fortune.

Yan Zhendong continued to ask noncommittally: You just said that this business without capital relies on connections. Have you ever thought about what the buyer doing business with you will do if you break the contract?

Cao Yu was very confident and said: Anyone who can buy oil from me must be a friend who has a good relationship with me. I will also share the benefits with him. Anyway, this company is not his. I will convince him to do this with me.

thing.

Yan Zhendong continued to ask: Have you ever thought about what his company would think of him if you did that?

Cao Yu said carelessly: I will take some measures, such as changing my identity. These are technical problems and there will be ways to solve them.

Yan Zhendong just looked at him silently and didn't say a word for a long time. Cao Yu originally wanted to deliberately anger Yan Tingting, but it was obvious that she was not angry. He also felt that something was wrong. After a slight hesitation, he emphasized again vaguely:

I will do this very carefully and ensure that his company will not find out about him.

Yan Tingting looked at Cao Yu's depraved appearance, and she was a little sad at first, but then she thought about it, he is used to playing pranks, after all, this kind of thing cannot be answered in one or two sentences, she wants to be with her parents

Try your best to maintain his face in front of them. If you fall out with him in front of them, wouldn't it be like slapping yourself in the face?

So she turned her anger on Yan Zhendong and said angrily: Lao Yan, what are you going to do? What kind of problem are you making? He is just a poor student with no experience in the world, so of course he can't resist the temptation.

The atmosphere became a little weird for a moment. In fact, even Cao Yu didn't know whether the thoughts he just had were sincere. Even if they were sincere, he might not really do them. It was just a touch of greed in his heart, but it was true.

It was really lingering. He could feel that his true feelings were only met with collective contempt from everyone.

But he refused to give in, and could only continue to argue shamelessly: Don't say it so harshly, who wouldn't be moved in front of such a large sum of money?! If I can make it foolproof and everyone is happy, why not

Woolen cloth?

Yan Tingting knew that if she didn't issue the bid, he would continue to act like this. She couldn't help but sigh and said seriously: Cao Yu, do you know what I admire most about you?

Cao Yu said proudly: Why don't you ask, because I'm handsome!

Yan Tingting was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood and said: Damn!

Cao Yu continued ruthlessly: That is because he knows that I am good at work and can play and sing everything.

Yan Tingting was even more angry. She slapped the chopsticks in her hand on the table and said in a deep voice: She's getting more and more excited, right? Can you still order a face?! Forget it, I won't ask anymore.

Let me tell you directly, what I admire the most is your straightforward character, frank words and deeds, consistent appearance and courage, and courage to take responsibility.

Cao Yu felt a little regretful, but he still said stubbornly: "I understand, if you have something to say, just say it without using these modifiers."

You see, good intentions are misunderstood. Yan Tingting suppressed her anger and said calmly: Why is it just a modifier?

Cao Yu said disdainfully, "Aren't you just saying that I'm stupid, careless, stupid and easy to deceive?"

Of course Yan Tingting likes Cao Yu's heartless look, but then there must be different occasions, okay? What kind of occasion is it now? Talking nonsense in front of her parents, I really don't understand what he is going to do.

She wanted to protect him everywhere, but he insisted on letting her do whatever he wanted. This was a clear sign of shame and embarrassing her in front of her parents.

She helplessly looked at Cao Yu in a daze, not knowing how to end it. What happened to this brat today? He wanted to go against her at every turn, and deliberately collapsed in front of her parents. Is this the way he wanted to die? Yan Tingting's eyes immediately changed.

A malicious gaze burst out and stabbed at him fiercely. Cao Yu was suddenly shocked and felt his scalp numb. An ominous light flashed across his head, as if an atomic bomb was about to explode. He hurriedly begged for mercy: "Fuck!"

Well? Don't look at me like that. I was joking. Just treat it as a purely technical discussion.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. It was understandable that the young man was speechless, and the tense atmosphere immediately relaxed. Cao Yu then used his charming skills, picked up a wet wipe and handed it over with a cheerful face, and said as if nothing had happened:

Why are you watching me eat? Your saliva is dripping from your mouth. Wipe it with it.

Cao Yu's words almost made Yan Zhendong and his wife angry. Chen Ruoshui hurriedly grabbed the wet wipes on the table and laughed. Only then did Yan Tingting recover from the explosion and immediately retracted her cannibalistic gaze.

, subconsciously took the wet wipe with his hand, then suddenly realized it, threw it on the table with a "pop", and said angrily: "I hate it! You are so restless and have no serious attitude, it is really annoying!"

Cao Yu continued to be very sincere and said: Yes, yes, your criticism is right, I will pay attention to it next time.

Yan Tingting was still angry, but she couldn't find a reason to vent, so she could only say calmly: Can you think more simply in the future? Your brain is not full, so don't beat around the bush.

Cao Yu asked with a look of fear: What do you mean?

Yan Tingting said slowly: When you know that you have to be careful to cover up, it means that in your heart, you have already admitted that doing so is wrong, right?

Cao Yu nodded repeatedly: Yes, yes.

Yan Tingting continued to say coldly: You know it is wrong, but you still do it. Why are you doing this?!

Cao Yu was speechless by her question and could only say with a bitter look on his face: This...

Yan Tingting didn't give him any chance to argue, and continued to press: Even if no one knew, could you escape the condemnation of your own conscience? Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you do such a thing that goes against your will?

Yan Tingting said, then turned to Yan Zhendong and said: Lao Yan, look at all the good things you have done, is his answer what you want? Human nature cannot help being tested. It is better not to ask questions that touch the soul like this in the future.

Yan Zhendong said slowly with a serious face: This is not a question that was dreamed up out of thin air. In real life, such things may happen every day, but you may not encounter them. So, think more and be better early.

It might be a good thing to make some preparations. Nephew Cao, if you were the boss of that buyer, how would you look at this problem even if you couldn't catch them?

After hearing what the two people said, Cao Yu immediately froze there and said quietly: This...

Yan Zhendong continued to say slowly: Nephew Cao Xian, have you ever thought about it. In the process of this transaction, the owner of the goods in every link has more capital than you to break the contract. Why does such a good thing have to be your turn?

What to do?

Cao Yu was silent, and Yan Zhendong continued: Sometimes, it's not about being smart. In your life, you will always encounter one or two such things. Before you encounter them, no one can tell what to do.

Choice. It is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. This choice can only be made in one thought. Perhaps, there is no right or wrong in this matter. What you do is up to you, but you have to understand the consequences of doing so and be prepared to bear the consequences.

preparation.

Seeing that Cao Yu was silent, Yan Zhendong continued: Losing an opportunity to make money is not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe you will feel relaxed because of it; making an unexpected windfall is not necessarily a good thing. Maybe you will lose years of experience because of it.

Friends have lost mutual trust and the joy of looking at each other.

Cao Yu nodded and replied: That's true, it's really difficult to choose.

Yan Zhendong said: No matter what you choose, it will be a test for you. The consequences may affect your mood for the rest of your life. It will follow you to the grave. I hope you will not regret it until then. Business
