Ephraim and David have no one in Albania, are not familiar with the country at all, and the country's network is also very poor.
Even though we have entered the highly information-based network age, living here was 20 years ago.
Fortunately, the chatty driver Bashjim helped.
This guy can chat with anyone for three hours. This extremely chatty character allows him to know a lot of people, including all sorts of things.
When I learned that I wanted to change the packaging of Ephraim, I immediately introduced him to a friend of his.
He owns a packaging company in the capital.
The two sides just met, and Ephraim immediately asked Bashjim to contact his friend, and then they met in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.
As the intermediary, Bashjim took the initiative to introduce his friend: "He is the one I found for you. His name is Enver, and he is my childhood friend."
"nice to meet you."
Ephraim and David went up to shake hands one after another.
"I'm glad to meet you too. Bashjim briefly mentioned to me the problems you encountered. I don't understand very well. Why do you need to change the packaging?" Enver's first sentence was very professional.
Changing the packaging of packaged items is usually associated with illegality.
As the owner of a legal packaging company, he must carefully screen every contract to avoid accidentally losing his company.
"Simply put, our current packaging is too heavy and we are transporting a huge number of bullets. The cost of air transportation from Albania to Djibouti is too high. We need to reduce the cost of transportation."
As soon as Ephram finished speaking, David added: "The bullet is now packed in a tin box with a very heavy wooden box on the outside.
This packaging is almost as fast as the bullets. It is really wasteful to ship it by air.
So we want to switch to using plastic bags to hold bullets, and then put the bullets into double-layer paper fiberboard to greatly reduce the weight.
You should know, AK bullets!"
David also pointed it out specifically to remind him, for fear that Enver would not recognize it, and without a packaging plan in this regard, the long-term talks would be in vain.
"Of course I know, I need the real reason why the packaging was changed?" Enver still asked the old question.
"Didn't I just say that? Are you sure your understanding is okay?"
Ephraim pointed to his head a little irritably, meaning your mother is not mentally retarded, and repeated: "I said the packaging is too heavy, I need to make it lighter.
And there are so many boxes, we need to solve them as quickly as possible and efficiently, do you understand now?"
If he were asked to say it a third time, Ephraim felt like he would explode on the spot.
Fortunately, Enver finally understood and asked another question: "Okay, I understand. I want to know how many boxes you have?"
"Many, many, 100 million rounds of ammunition," Ephraim said.
"I understand, but I need to know how many boxes there are." Enver emphasized.
"68520."
David was better at this than Ephraim and accurately reported the number of boxes.
"I've seen it before, it's very spectacular," the driver Bashjim said.
"Okay, I'll take this deal."
After confirming from Fa Xiao that there were nearly 70,000 boxes, it was a good deal. Enver finally felt relieved and signed the deal.
"How long can you get it done? I need to deliver the goods in the shortest possible time. If you don't have enough manpower, we may need to find someone else."
Ephraim said it directly to his face without any mince words.
"I can't tell you this. I need you to take me to the site for pre-packing and calculate the specific time for repacking a box before I can tell you."
Enver spoke so professionally, Ephraim was even more satisfied.
"Then let's go, go there now."
Ephraim said hello and walked out. Enver got up and followed behind, took out his notes, and called his younger brother to report his location.
More than 20 minutes later!
Enver followed Ephraim and his men to the arms warehouse and began operations without saying a word.
Enver moved a desk and sat at the back, took out paper, pen and stopwatch and started timing.
His men moved a table opposite. A total of three of his men moved a box of Ak bullets, put the plastic paper and packing cartons on them, and placed them on the table for preparation.
"start!"
As Enver pressed the stopwatch, Sanming's men began to operate.
First use a crowbar to pry open the wooden box, then take out all three boxes of bullets inside, open the iron box, pour all the bullets inside into the weighing pan, weigh them, and then put them into plastic bags according to the weight.
Finally, seal the opening of the plastic bag and place it inside the fiberboard box.
"nailed it."
The man who changed the packaging raised his hand.
Enver pressed down the seconds to record the time, recording the time, weight, and materials used in detail in the notebook.
Then I took out a computer and fiddled with it, and calculated a final number.
"If 50 people work, it will take four weeks to complete. If you are willing to pay 100,000 yuan, I am willing to help you get it done."
Enver carefully revealed a number, fearing to scare Boss Cai away.
"100,000?"
However, when Long Zhan heard this figure, he was very surprised by the price.
Not too expensive, but too cheap.
Ephraim and David were equally stunned. Ephram even checked in disbelief and asked, "Did you say $100,000?"
"Yes, US dollars." Enver nodded seriously.
"Wait a minute, let's discuss it."
David stood up and walked aside, and Ephraim followed suit.
Long Zhan sat there without moving. He could tell through his micro-expression observation that Ephraim and David were extremely happy. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, they would probably have burst into laughter.
In fact, Ephraim and David are really going crazy with joy at this moment.
And it’s too uncomfortable to hold back my laughter,
They had to find a way to vent their anger, otherwise they would not be able to hold back their laughter, so they walked aside on the pretext of discussing.
Why are the two of them so excited about such a big sum of money, 100,000 US dollars?
the reason is simple!
Because changing all the packaging of bullets can not only solve the biggest crisis they face, but also wash the bullets made by Caion into Albania.
It can also save a lot of money on shipping costs, conservatively estimated to be more than 2 million US dollars.
It means that not only did they not spend a dime, they also hired a large group of people to work on them, which perfectly solved the problem of where the bullets are produced.
They even made a fortune as a blessing in disguise, each person received an extra $1 million, turning a disaster into a blessing.
How could Ephraim and David not be happy and excited.
