v3 Chapter 10 - Ship and Ballast Stone
“Brother, we have occupied nineteen warehouses now,” Guo Shoucheng held a red hard-covered ledger outside the company’s borrowed warehouse of the military supply warehouse, and Xiang followed closely by his side, holding an umbrella. The eldest brother Guo Shouyun said, “However, there have been more and more distributors coming from Siberia and Transcaucasus these days, and the negotiation for further contact is being prepared. If they can be taken down, I believe that the future inventory will not appear. There’s a backlog like that.”
Guo Shouyun looked at the rows of military warehouses that had been sealed. Now those warehouses were full of company goods, and the military vehicles, tanks, armored vehicles and the like that were originally stored in the warehouses were now extremely desolate. Endure the wind and rain in the open field.
“How is it, those old Maozi merchants are no longer as arrogant as they used to be?” Guo Shouyun leaned the umbrella in his hand towards his younger brother, glanced at the account book, and said with a smile.
“Arrogant? Now they don’t have any arrogant capital,” Guo Shoucheng pouted and said dismissively. Recalling the scene when he came to Lao Maozi’s site to do business, Guo Shoucheng really has a feeling of life like a dream. All of them seemed aloof and arrogant. Now, he also often deals with the competent departments and co-management departments. The heads of these departments are full of smiles when they see him. I can’t be arrogant anymore.
According to Guo Shouyun’s account, if you want to buy goods from Guo’s Import and Export Trading Company, you must follow the rules set by the company: all goods will be traded in cash, and both payments will be paid on the spot; the purchase price must be set by the company, and the distributors will not bargain. There is room for all expenses; the company is not responsible for transportation, and the distributors will organize the transportation of goods by themselves.
Obviously, such conditions are quite harsh in commercial trade. No matter which company is concerned, it is tantamount to asking for such harsh conditions to the distributors. But Guo Shouyun doesn’t care. He knows that export trade to the Soviet Union that can make a lot of money can only be done for a few months at most, that is, at most August. After August, with the liberalization of various Soviet policies , as well as the changes in the high-level government, the import and export trade market of the Soviet Union will be fully liberalized. At that time, there will be no profit in pure export trade to the Soviet Union. Therefore, Guo Shouyun has no interest in continuing this aspect of the company’s business for a long time. His company is like a swarm of locusts. Wherever the vegetation is lush, it will go where it is, and it will leave after a bite. Just imagine, in this case, how could he consider the emotional problems of those distributors.
“Well, that’s good,” Guo Shouyun nodded, then grabbed Shoucheng’s arm, turned around and walked back, “Shoucheng, there is one thing you need to remember, this is dealing with Lao Maozi, you have to know when to Concession, when to be tough, to whom you can make concessions, and to whom you should be tough. For those distributors who come from everywhere, our conditions are set, and there is no room for negotiation, but there is still some place for the military region. On the side, their interests must be put into practice. In the past two weeks, our goods have been transported from North Korea and passed through the garrison areas of the four troops. Although they have not asked for any benefits, we have Can’t help but say it in advance.”
Having said this, Guo Shouyun pondered for a while, and then he continued: “Especially the forty-fifth army, that kid Yolinin had an in-depth discussion with me before he left, although he did not Explain everything that should be explained, but I can see that he and Ivanov are not the same. Hasn’t he been transferred to the 45th Army now? It seems that his background is there. .”
Guo Shoucheng obviously agreed with his brother’s remarks, and he asked, “Brother, what do you think about it?”
“The situation on Lao Maozi’s side is complicated now,” Guo Shouyun said. “This team stands up, and the next step should be a showdown with real swords and real guns. There are too many unstable factors in politics, and the final result will come out. Before, no one knew who would be able to live with a smile in the next moment. And people like us can never stand on the side of failure, so I think about it, we need to prepare more choices for ourselves. You can’t just hold on to Ivanov’s thigh.”
“Big brother, don’t you mean we want to step on two boats?” Guo Shoucheng laughed.
“You stinky boy, what do you mean by stepping on two boats? It’s so ugly.” Following Nina’s example, he reached out and slapped his brother on the back of the head. Guo Shouyun laughed and scolded, “How many boats do we want to step on? Boats, after all, no matter which boat capsizes, we always have a place to stay.”
“Then you’re not afraid of attracting jealousy from others one day. Before the boat is overturned, we will be thrown into the water first.” Guo Shoucheng laughed.
“Hey, I said you can do it, it seems that I haven’t dealt with the old Maozi in vain during this period of time. I actually know how to think about the problem from a different angle.” Guo Shouyun said with surprise.
“Is this a compliment?” Guo Shoucheng shook his head and said with a very dashing look.
“Of course it’s a compliment,” Guo Shouyun said sincerely. It can be seen that Shoucheng has not only matured a lot during this period, but his personality has also gradually become more cheerful. In fact, after careful consideration, on the one hand, it is because the trade went smoothly during this period, and Shoucheng found self-confidence. It is a role of his own, which allows him to gradually get rid of the pressure brought by Guo Shouyun’s excellence.
“It seems that Shoucheng will be given more opportunities to be independent in the future,” Guo Shouyun thought in his heart, seeing the brilliance on his younger brother’s face. He Guo Shouyun never believed in genius. In his opinion, the success of any person in any aspect comes from interest first, atmosphere second, and opportunity last. As for Guo Shoucheng, he himself is in business, and he is naturally interested in business. Now, if he wants to make him a truly successful businessman, he must be given enough social atmosphere and independent side. chance. In the future, as the company grows step by step and its business scope expands step by step, Guo Shouyun can foresee that he will need more and more assistants, and his younger brother, the person he trusts most, naturally cannot stay out of it.
“Brother, what are you thinking?” Shoucheng couldn’t help but ask when he saw Guo Shouyun’s insane appearance.
“Oh, it’s nothing,” Guo Shouyun came back to his senses, put his hand on Shoucheng’s shoulder, and smiled, “I was thinking about the kind of concerns you just mentioned. Well, what you said makes sense, but from another angle, From the current Lao Maozi’s heart, I feel that although your concerns are unlikely to become reality, the chances are not high. Now the old Maozi are fighting fiercely, and no matter which side they are, they are facing the biggest dilemma. That is lack of money. Playing politics is not just playing power. From a deeper level, they are also playing with money. If there is not enough financial support, even if Stalin is reincarnated, he will not be able to survive in this circle. No matter what. Which ship it is, they all need people like us. For them, we are the ballast. If we don’t hold the position on the ship, then they can’t help being hit by the wind and waves, and our inclination can also directly affect the situation. The degree of stability of each of them. Hehe, the most critical question now is to see whether our own weight is enough, in other words, whether our financial resources are strong enough. “
