Lin Yi came to Hong Kong and immediately told He Qiming, "Old He, look for someone who understands the affairs of the sunglasses factory. I will make an investment plan, or simply contact a headhunting company to find someone who understands the construction and production of sunglasses factories.
Talent.”
"Boss, do you want to invest in a sunglasses factory?"
"Yes, we are planning to build a factory in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in Mainland China. Sunglasses are currently a blank slate in China, but they will be very profitable in the future." Lin Yi said.
"Also, this time I brought some windbreakers, jeans, and bell-bottom pants. I asked mainland garment factories to produce them according to foreign designs. You can ask someone to take these clothes to see if there are any buyers."
Lin Yi asked Factory Director Lu to produce windbreakers, jeans, and bell-bottom pants, mainly because he wanted to make money by selling the goods domestically, but he promised Factory Director Lu to find him some foreign exchange orders.
Nowadays, these clothes are also very popular in Hong Kong. If you let the salesperson below sell them, you might be able to find an order. At most, it will be slightly cheaper.
Lin Yi took out those clothes and He Qiming took a look at them, "It's not bad. I'll ask them to push it again."
After talking about his own affairs, Lin Yi asked: "How is the situation in the company recently? Have you received any orders?"
"Yes, I'm waiting for you to come back and report to you." He Qiming said and pulled out a file from the table.
Lin Yi opened it and looked carefully,
lighter,

glass.
Porcelain bowls and porcelain plates.
Among them, the biggest item was ordered by someone who ordered 100,000 pairs of cotton gloves and 100,000 pairs of long-staple cotton socks. Lin Yi thought it was pretty good. Those salesmen were very capable.
"Who ordered this?" Lin Yi asked, pointing to the order of cotton gloves and socks.
He Qiming knew these orders well and answered immediately without looking at the information: "It was ordered by a company called 'Sunflower International Trading'. This company has been operating in Hong Kong for two or three years. I heard that the boss is a Soviet man. I'm here
I also did business with them in my previous company.”
When he heard the words 'Soviet people', several thoughts suddenly flashed through Lin Yi's mind.
"What's the name of the other boss?" Lin Yi asked.
"I want to check this."
As he spoke, he rummaged through the documents and finally found the name, "My name is Roman Andreevich Nikonov. These Soviet names are really hard to pronounce."
Lin Yi wrote down the name.
"Lao He, please ask someone to contact China for these orders and send them to them as soon as possible. The two things I told you should also be done as soon as possible." Lin Yi ordered.
"Okay boss."
He Qiming went out to get busy, and Lin Yi picked up the folder and turned to the order page of 'Sunflower International Trade'. He looked at the name and contact information.
He tapped his fingers on the table, recalling the information about the Soviet Union that he had read in his previous life. To be honest, he didn't know much about the situation in the Soviet Union during this period. In his time, the Soviet Union had become history and was buried in dust and smoke.
All I know is that a once powerful empire was eventually killed.
However, he has also read some sporadic information, especially economics. When studying modern economics courses, he can never avoid the United States and the Soviet Union. Let alone the United States, he can open a large chapter on the disintegration of the Soviet Union from the 1980s to the 1990s.
, the economic operation during this period is also an important area of study.
The heavy industry of the Soviet Union was very developed and could produce various weapons and equipment such as fighter planes, tanks, and aircraft carriers. The long Cold War made the Soviet Union lean heavily towards heavy industry, while the light industry was much weaker.
Lin Yi knew that since the early 1980s, a group of gangsters had sprung up in northern China. They carried Chinese light industrial products in large and small bags, such as clothes, shoes and socks, gloves, cans, toothpaste and toothbrushes, and traveled thousands of miles by train.
Russian trafficking.
Often, one trip can earn several times or even more than ten times the profit. Some entrepreneurs in later generations started their business from here.
The most famous figure among them is Mou Zhongzhi. He transported light industrial products to hundreds of wagons at a time and exchanged them for airplanes, earning hundreds of millions of yuan at a time. This operation is still talked about by countless people and has even been included in textbooks.
So why don’t the two countries start trade?
have,
But not much.
The reason was due to politics, and I won’t go into details here. At this time, China and the Soviet Union had not normalized their diplomatic relations, and it was even less likely that trade could be normalized on a large scale.
This also gave the bad guy a chance.
It is too difficult for China's current products to squeeze into the market dominated by European, American and Japanese products. Relatively speaking, the Soviet Union is a blank slate.
As long as the light industrial products last, there will be no worries about sales.
Others think that Chinese products are silly, big, black and thick, but the Soviets don't dislike them. They first solve the problem of whether they exist or not, and then talk about whether they look good or not.
As for Lin Yi's study of this Soviet man, he suspected that he was similar to himself, working for the country, and even more innocent than himself.
Sunflower International Trading Co., Ltd.,
Listen to this name.
The sunflower is the national flower of the Soviet Union, and its meaning is similar to the ax and sickle.
If the other party is sent by the state, there will be more room for maneuver, because state procurement is usually large in volume, and if the two can join forces.
Pick up the phone and dial the number for Sunflower Trading Company.
"Who are you feeding?"
The call was answered quickly.
"I am the business manager of Yishida Trading Company. I would like to find Mr. Luo Man from your company." Lin Yi said into the microphone.
"Okay, I'll transfer the call to Mr. Roman," the staff member said.
Not long after, a steady male voice came from the other side, saying in English: "Hello, what do you want from me?"
"Hello, Mr. Luoman, let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Yi. I am the business manager of Yishida Trading Company. I would like to chat with you about trade. I wonder if you have time?" Lin Yi said.
"Is there something wrong with the batch of goods we ordered?"
"No, I just want to talk about new business with you. I think we have the possibility of deeper cooperation."
The other party hesitated for a moment,
"Okay, then make an appointment to meet."
That afternoon.
In a private room of a bar in Hong Kong.
Lin Yi met Roman. Roman was very tall, about 1.9 meters tall. He was in his thirties. He had black hair and deep eye sockets, giving him a calm and capable look.
He stretched out his hand and shook Lin Yi's hand. Lin Yi felt that the position of the opponent's tiger's mouth was a bit rough and his arms were very strong. He could tell that this person had undergone long-term training and had touched a gun.
Both sides sat down,
Lin Yi poured the other party a glass of wine.
"I wonder what Mr. Lin means by deeper cooperation?" Roman said after taking a sip of wine.
"Mr. Roman, I would like to ask, are you working for your country?" Lin Yi asked.
After listening to Lin Yi's question, Roman frowned slightly and looked at him, "What does Mr. Lin mean? Does this have anything to do with our transaction?".
"Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Luo Man. To be honest, in addition to being the business manager of Yishida, I am also the business manager of China Hu Province Foreign Trade Company." Lin Yi said and took out a certificate from his pocket.
Roman's eyes became sharp. He took the ID and looked through it. He felt that the ID should not be fake, and then returned it to Lin Yi.
"Are you doing something for your country?"
Lin Yi waved his hand.
"Please don't get me wrong. Strictly speaking, I am not a government employee. I was originally just a businessman. Later, I came to Hong Kong because of my overseas connections and helped national companies find overseas orders. I also made a profit after selling the products. It's that simple.
There is absolutely no politics involved." Lin Yi stated his position.
Only money and no politics.
"What do you mean by telling me this?" Roman asked.
Lin Yi smiled, "Actually, I already said on the phone that I hope we can cooperate in depth."
"What kind of in-depth method?"
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Luo Man has been in Hong Kong for a while. I believe you should have a full understanding of the market. Hong Kong is a free port. There are goods from all over the world. Many goods are of good quality, but the price is very expensive. We do
People who trade always hope to find good and cheap goods, don’t you think so?”
"Of course." Roman nodded.
"Actually, the two of us are very complementary. I can get a large number of Chinese products, and you also have a broad market behind me. If we cooperate, I believe we can make good profits." Lin Yidao.
"I'm starting to get interested, tell me about your plan." Roman was very interested in what Lin Yi said about making profits.
Lin Yi organized the language.
"For example, you need a batch of socks. Socks made in the United States, Japan, Europe and even Hong Kong are relatively expensive. But I can get a batch of relatively cheap socks, ship them to Hong Kong, and put them on
Hong Kong trademark, sold to you in the name of a trading company, you can get relatively cheap socks, and there is no problem at all in terms of rules."
"And the middle price can be negotiated between the two of us, so the profit generated will be divided equally between the two of us. What do you think?"
Roman picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
He was moved.
Lin Yi's guess was correct. He was indeed working for the country. In fact, this was inevitable. They were all publicly owned countries, which was similar to the situation in China.
The trade orders passed through his hands amount to tens of millions of dollars every year, but he himself does not get much money. The most he can do is enjoy good wine and delicious food.
"I can help you open a bearer account anywhere in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, Panama, or Zurich. Only you have the password. I will transfer the profit regularly. The money belongs entirely to you."
Lin Yi said again.
Roman's heart was beating loudly.
He was once a highly trained warrior.
He would not do this even when facing a hail of bullets, but when facing money, his heart beat uncontrollably.
Lin Yi's method of operation.
indeed compliant,
As for the price, the other party gets the goods from China, and they have the final say on the price themselves. Roman purchases the goods according to the normal process. Everything is reasonable and compliant and absolutely no problems can be found. The only transaction is private, and the two of them
All have benefits.
Since everyone has interests, no one will easily destroy it.
Roman held out his hand.
Lin Yi also extended his hand.
The two held each other tightly.
"I wish us a happy cooperation, Вашездоровье."
"Happy cooperation, cheers."
Many people think that emotional transactions and loyalty transactions are better than interest transactions, but the real situation is that pure interest transactions are often more stable and long-lasting.
