It was late at night, but the fax machine kept ringing.
Lin Wan tore off the fax page, glanced at it and handed it to the blond and blue-eyed Mao Mei next to her, and instructed her to fill in the form and pay the account.
International trade is really a very long process, involving a wide range of things, and quite complicated.
In the past three months, the "Holy Light" quickly completed the transportation of 500 wagons, and four Tu-154s also flew to the Imperial Capital to join the United Airlines fleet.
Because of the fast delivery, low price and guaranteed quality, the credibility of "Shengguang" in the Damao market is naturally established.
Whether it is Vice Minister Cui Kefu, the "Shengguang" visiting group, or even some big-haired businessmen who come here especially, they have provided the "Shengguang" with a large number of merchandise purchase orders.
For example, Cui Kefu swiped his pen and sold ten Il-76s in operation to the Holy Light in the name of'second-hand equipment'.
Also sold with the overhaul line of the large aircraft. This includes 2,000 professional engineers and technicians under the Ministry of Aviation Industry, 1,000 professional advancement places in aviation academies, and tens of thousands of large and small manufacturing and maintenance equipment.
For these equipments, the'Holy Light' visiting group had bargained with Maozi for a long time. Because Maozi's industry developed abnormally, the good ones are good, the bad ones are bad, and some equipment is not as good as the domestic ones.
A good pick can save a lot of money.
In addition, the plane can fly away directly. However, it is obviously not enough for the equipment of the overhaul line to rely solely on the transportation capacity of aviation and railways, and sea transportation is required.
"Holy Light" has no shipping channels and does not understand the commercial laws of various countries. At present, there are few people familiar with international trade in China.
Lin Wan has never dealt with shipping business, and everything must be learned from scratch. She went through quite a lot of hardships from being clueless to coping freely in these three months.
Later, the solution was simple, just spend money to hire the corresponding trader from Moscow. Maozi himself trades frequently with Europe, and there are many professionals.
For example, the girl Mao next to Lin Wan, in her thirties, used to work in the customs department and was invited by'Shengguang' for twice the salary. She works hard, works overtime, and has a responsible attitude. She is a rare good employee.
After recruiting one, you can continue to recruit a batch. Now there are only a dozen Chinese employees such as Lin Wan, but more than 20 locals are employed.
"Sacred Light" will transport the bulky cargo obtained at Da Mao's house to Leningrad, that is, St. Petersburg, and ship it to Guangzhou by chartering a European freighter. The entire sailing schedule is about one or two months.
As for domestic goods, we also need to charter ships to ship in Guangzhou or Magic City. Each time the transportation volume is more than 10,000 tons, it is just a thousand heavy trucks, or millions of clothes plus 10,000 tons of non-staple food.
Over the past three months, the'Holy Light' has rented more than 20 boats. The total transportation volume exceeds 500,000 tons. The first batch of ships has arrived ashore to complete loading and unloading.
Shipping is also related to finance. Lin Wan not only has to deal with freight forwarders, but also with European banks and insurance companies.
'Shengguang' is recruiting people from China for internships, so that one day they can truly enter the world. In short, an international group faces international affairs.
Zhou Qingfeng intends to open a "Holy Light" branch in Moscow to hire local people to work for him. This branch can even radiate the entire European market, making it easier to earn foreign exchange.
Overseas trade in this era is really profitable, and the profits are extremely high.
A large number of domestic clothing appeared on the Moscow market, and the empty counters were a bit more colorful. The style is definitely the latest in Europe, the material may be worse, but the price is half cheaper.
Little fairies especially like to cut and design costumes. They will take inspiration from European fashion magazines and design models that suit the habits and posture of local consumers.
Mordu’s textile and clothing industries produce coats, shoes, hats, underwear, etc. according to these model garments, and export them in large quantities.
Because of the low prices and novel styles, a large number of clothing orders appear in front of Lin Wan through the fax machine every day. She was extremely surprised by the consumption status of this collapsed empire.
Obviously the society is a mess, but the consumption power is not bad at all.
Zhou Qingfeng once explained: "A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Mao Xiong completed basic industrialization and modernization fifty years ago.
Its citizens are accustomed to living a well-off life, with a wealth of food and clothing, easy work and entertainment, and ordinary employees have travel holidays every year. In contrast, we are really poor. "
** In the ten's, Teddy Bear's life was in line with Europe. People's economy is getting worse and worse, but consumer demand is not bad at all, and you have to listen to opera when you are hungry.
Only in a few years, when the big Mao family oligarchs, companies go bankrupt, and the economy crashes, will their ordinary people realize that the great motherland that once sheltered them really does not exist.
The status quo...
Lin Wan is essentially a'soil bun', unable to understand the thoughts of ordinary Mao Xiong.
The steady flow of orders is indeed pleasing, and domestic products of all types and grades can be found in the corresponding market in Moscow.
Maozi has a habit of eating canned food. Canned fruit, canned pork, canned fish, everything. The canned food in Tianyang area has long been sold out by the'Holy Light', forcing them to find sources across the country.
Before He Yulan looked for a fully automatic food production line, the units under the Department of Light Industry in the province didn't care about her much. It's good now, the order quantity is large enough, and someone else begged her to buy the production line.
For the canned food alone, the'Holy Light' has at least supported the domestic industrial chain of 100,000 people. Domestic media are reporting that canned foods suddenly became a big fire in the second half of this year, and production and sales were booming.
Lin Wan's team processes hundreds of demand orders every day. Every time she sends an order back, she can feel an encouragement. Behind the order is often a company, the livelihood of dozens or hundreds of employees.
We must know that the demand for Maozi is really increasing, and they even want to import pots and pans from the'Holy Light'. Such as ceramic dishes, metal knives and forks, kitchen supplies, home appliances and furniture.
The orders for these ordinary goods were sent to Lin Wan, making the top students of Modu Finance and Economics bewildered—how could Maozi even import these untechnical goods? Can't they produce it by themselves
Some Maozi merchants even took the initiative to introduce orders from some European countries to the "Shengguang", which also contains a large number of ordinary products in daily life.
Zhou Qingfeng couldn't laugh or cry about this. At most, he explained, "It's not easy to make products cheap. If they don't produce hair, they are tossing themselves. If Europe doesn't produce it, labor is too expensive.
Regardless of it, just make money anyway.
We need a dedicated overseas trade department to do this business, which cannot be handled by one or two hundred people. Maybe it will develop into a super large department. "
At present, the branch of "Holy Light" in Moscow has not yet been established, and Lin Wan, the secretary general, has to be on the front line for a long time.
Due to the time difference and in order to cope with more and more purchasing demands, her daily sleep has been compressed to three or four hours.
By two o'clock in the night, Secretary Lin can finally go to sleep for a while. But Zhou Qingfeng opened the door of the office and walked in excitedly and shouted: "The Ermao's market has opened up. We have another place for dumping goods."
Lin Wan closed her tired eyes, slammed into the desk, and muttered: "Come on, come on, I can't stand it anymore.".
