Chapter 1183 Huge Business Opportunity
Chinese businessmen and cart drivers on Yabao Road are used to calling Russian businessmen "old Maozi" and businessmen from other countries "black hair".

And for the Russians, the popularity of Yabao Road is no less than that of Tiananmen.

What's more, pearl necklaces worth more than ten yuan in China can be sold for eighty or ninety yuan over there. Who wouldn't be jealous?

Therefore, a large number of Russian businessmen poured into this place, and mingled with the local merchants, and they could call out someone's name with their mouths.

The same goes for local businesses.

Even the cart pullers can remember the names of every Russian trader here, and even have "old friends" with many of them.

The Russian woman who opened her mouth to order 20 pairs of slippers from Zhao Cheng is named Anastasia, which was the most popular name in the Soviet Union.

Even though the Soviet Union no longer exists, she still does business in China under this name.

"Tasia, nice to meet you." Zhao Cheng greeted her with a smile, "It seems that your business has grown, and you need 20 pairs of slippers to open your mouth. This is not a small amount."

Tasia spread her hands, "Let's be so-so, the amount is actually not that big. I was thinking of going to your store to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

"By the way, why didn't you see Valerie this time?" Zhao Cheng asked, "Didn't he come with you?"

Tasia said: "He wants to do a bigger business. He is interested in Tianjin Port and wants to engage in shipping. Now he has gone to Tianjin to inspect the manufacturer of game consoles, so I am the only one here."

"Since you are here, go to my shop and have a cup of tea first, and then give me the order you want to purchase, and I promise to help you prepare it." Zhao Cheng said with a smile, "and the price is not very expensive. expensive."

Tasia took out a piece of paper from her bag and said, "This is what I want on it. You can help me buy it. I will pick it up in three days. As for the price, I think it should still be acceptable at the price last time." Arrived."

Zhao Cheng scanned the number above and shook his head, "You are really too smart, the price is kept so low, we don't have any profit, but for the sake of you and I being old friends, I will do this Order."

"Zhao, you have become cunning." Tasia said with a smile, "you must know that you were not like this before."

As she said that, she waved her hand, "Please, I have to go shopping again. When I have time, I will go to you for tea."

"it is good."

After sending Tasia away, Zhao Cheng and Su Chen explained, "This woman is very smart. At the beginning, she bought goods from Ritan Hotel, shipped them back to Moscow from Tianjin Airport, and then wholesaled them to local small traders, because she loves to move. Brains, every time her things become bestsellers.

Once, at the Ritan Hotel, she saw a cold-proof suit, which was fashionable and inexpensive, but the owner said it was out of stock and had to wait for three more days.

With an idea, she wrote down the address of the manufacturer on the label of the clothes, then drove to Tianjin, found the company that produced winter clothes, and ordered 2000 pieces at once, and the price was 5% cheaper than in BJ.

Since then, she no longer relies solely on purchasing goods from Ritan Hotel, but more often finds manufacturers near Tianjin to place direct orders.

The business is getting bigger and bigger, and more than 1 pieces of cold-proof clothing are imported in a month, and when the goods are imported and shipped, they are all holding a lot of dollars. "

"Amazing!" Su Chen couldn't help but praise.

This era has never lacked such brainy people, as long as they are willing to take risks, it will be a matter of time before they get rich.

Zhao Cheng went on to say: "There are many Russian businessmen like Tasia, such as the Valera we just talked about, who is also a Russian businessman. In the beginning, he had to do everything from collecting goods to loading and unloading.

Although he is a novice, he is not inferior to doing business. He always has a Chinese handbook with Russian phonetic notation in his hand, and he learns to speak Chinese at any time. He is most fluent in numbers, because bargaining is inseparable from numbers. "

"So, as long as you are willing to use your brain, you shouldn't starve to death." Su Chen said, "Are there a lot of big orders like Tasia every month?"

Zhao Cheng shook his head, "It's not a lot, basically only old acquaintances will have big orders, if you have eggs, who would dare to hand over such a big order? If you shoddy in it, you will lose yourself.

If it is an old merchant like us, naturally they will not do that kind of thing, so they have cooperated for a long time, and they all trust us. "

The two walked and watched.

This place and Xiushui Street are just like the street in Guangzhou where Su Chen started his business and where Xu Zhi went.

Many people started their homes from the practice stalls in these two places and earned their first pot of gold in life.

After walking for a while, Zhao Cheng suddenly pointed to the signboard of a company by the side of the road, and said, "That guy surnamed Ma works here. It is said that he started his business as a freight forwarder. It is precisely because he has a plane in his hand that he has no fear."

The so-called "freight forwarding" is the freight forwarder, which is between the cargo owner and the carrier in the international freight market.

Accept the entrustment of cargo owners, and act as an agent for chartering, booking, stowage, making relevant documents, customs declaration, inspection, insurance, container transportation, unpacking, issuing bills of lading, settlement of freight and miscellaneous charges, and even presentation of documents, negotiation and settlement of foreign exchange.

These tasks have a wide range of connections and many links. They are relatively concentrated on the rather complicated work of the international trade freight business, coordinating, coordinating, straightening out relationships, and enhancing their professionalism, technology, and policy.

In order to avoid complicated customs clearance procedures, these importers and exporters hand over all matters related to customs clearance to specialized customs clearance companies.

But in fact, some customs clearance companies only pay full tariffs for a small part of a batch of goods, helping imported goods to enter the market with tariffs lower than the legal level. This is "gray customs clearance".

In addition to the freight forwarders here, there are also a large number of customs clearance companies in Russia. Through the form of "chartered flights and taxes" in Russia, if they do not declare customs duties truthfully, they can obviously obtain greater profits.

However, this illegal form of trade has caused huge losses to some Chinese businessmen. Whenever there is a disturbance, the relevant Russian parties will dispatch military police to confiscate all the goods of Chinese businessmen.

On the other hand, the aircraft used for the initial charter flights were mainly aircraft decommissioned by the Russian army, and the cost was low.

And after a period of time, the service life of these aircrafts has come to an end, some airlines are unable to purchase new cargo aircrafts and declare bankruptcy, and the airlines who purchase new cargo aircrafts also greatly increase freight charges.

Su Chen looked up at the company's name.

It is called Lianzhou International Logistics Company.

This Lianzhou International can be regarded as the earliest professional customs clearance transportation company in Moscow in China, and it has started business as early as 1992.

And it is also the leading enterprise of Yabaolu cargo charter flight.

"The one surnamed Ma probably got along with the woman surnamed Wei inside?" Su Chen said.

Zhao Cheng's eyes lit up: "Brother Su is really astute. There is indeed a woman named Wei Jinbo in this company. This woman is very clever, because it is very troublesome for a Chinese plane to fly to Russia to go through customs, but if the Russian chartered plane Often will be gray customs clearance.

Wei Jinbo also has an airplane in his hand, which attracts a large number of cargo owners to flock here, almost monopolizing this channel, and this girl is also recognized as a "capable person" in the circle-she is bold and loyal.

What's more, this bitch is only 25 years old, and she can call the wind and call the rain..."

Turn to Xiushui Street from Yabao Road, and then go to Ritan Hotel, you can really see the huge business opportunities here.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you are willing to work hard, you can make a lot of money casually.

These "foreign tyrants" not only opened up the Sino-Russian non-governmental trade channels, but also most effectively publicized the achievements of China's reform and opening up.

"Go ahead and pick me up in the evening." Su Chen told Zhao Cheng, "Maybe that girl Wei Jinbo will show up tonight. I'm still a little curious about this woman."

"Alright Brother Su, then I'll go to work first."

When Su Chen returned to China Zun, he was not idle. He tried Pangu Computer's Kirin system and chips. To be honest, with his poor computer knowledge, he didn't know the difference from Intel's chips.

However, the window system is the same as Microsoft's, and it is indeed a great improvement compared to the previous system released by Microsoft.

It's not like a pure Linux system, but like the XP he is more used to, and it also comes with some games that he specifically requested to customize, such as Tetris and Spider Solitaire.

The most important thing is that he specifically asked Zhou Wei to acquire the intelligent ABC input method invented by Mr. Zhu Shoutao, and built it into the Pangu system.

In other words, as long as the user turns on the computer, he can see this input method.

At the same time, a specially customized WPS Office is also added, and a kernel browser is also added, and the browser has a built-in Internet portal.

In addition to these, various databases are also connected to facilitate the use of users, and then there is audio-visual software that can play songs in MP3 format.

On the whole, this computer already has a lot of functions that XP only has.

Su Chen even copied a lot of functions that Microsoft and Apple did not release, such as disk partitioning and USB functions, which are only available in Windows 95 OSR2.1.

In addition, a large number of software development communities have been set up in foreign countries, and at the same time, they provide a lot of money to those excellent software developers. As long as they develop suitable products, they will not only be rewarded by Pangu, but also the benefits generated by their software will also belong to them.

The reason for doing this is just to cultivate an ecosystem. After all, Microsoft does not develop all software.

Now it can be said that everything is ready, as long as it is optimized, there is a high probability that it will rise.

After trying out the computer for a day, and handing over his senses, Zhao Cheng came to pick him up.
