Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2164: Almost Tied to a Dog

What Zhao Shuying didn't expect was that a group of people began to short sell Yiyuan Zhizao's stocks. It was a large-scale short selling, and stocks were continuously being sold.

Zhao Shuying's subordinates are now under some pressure to take over. With Ji Donglai's return to China, Zhao Shuying is preparing for additional issuance. Something is wrong with the current situation.

"First they fought with us in Hanchar, and now they are causing trouble for us at home, shorting our stocks and leaving us with no time to take care of ourselves... Find out the financial backers of that media outlet for me, quickly!"

Zhao Shuying was sitting next to Ji Donglai, her eyes full of anxiety.

Normally, after Ji Donglai returned to China, the situation would begin to improve, and even the entire company would be improved. However, this situation has occurred now.

Ji Donglai was the first to react, and he always felt that there was a familiar smell.

The subordinates quickly took action. On the foreign side, Hu Xinyu, Li Dongxin and Jiang Haokun also took action at the same time. Hu Xinyu was the first to discover the problem.

"The company in Hanchar is also from Hong Kong. In addition, in Harat, this Hong Kong company has also started to take action. Our people have been negotiating there for half a year. Companies from Iran and Saudi Arabia are preparing to mine iron ore there, and von Casiman's men have shares there."

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to get the railway project. I mean, we can also do mining machinery and even a lot of supporting things. If they want to become a steel company, we also have reserves. Now that this Hong Kong company has joined in, it has changed things."

"In addition, we have a rival in Kabul, a company from Hong Kong. Many industries that have made deals with us have now reneged on their deals. We are intervening..."

Hu Xinyu was a little annoyed when facing Ji Donglai.

I have been working hard here for a long time, hoping to get great results over there.

It seems that the problem is quite serious now. Apart from other things, this Hong Kong company has no bottom line in bidding and is now entering the local market in an all-round way.

"Haha, our old friend is back. Let's investigate. I think it's most likely Kan Changshun. Spread the word to the locals that this company has nothing to do with us. Withdraw all our people and continue to operate our original industries in the north and Kabul."

After contacting Kan Changshun through the phone, Ji Donglai realized that the other party's problem had recurred.

Now that he has money, he wants to compete with Ji Donglai. There are so many places in the world to go, but he has to fight with his bayonet in a place like this. It is true that this is a low-value area, but there are crocodiles in it.

Although Hu Xinyu was unwilling, now that Ji Donglai had given the order, she had no choice but to obey.

Just like that, in less than three days, all the Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing personnel at the Iranian border and the Turkmen border withdrew and returned to Badakhshan and Kabul. As for other places, there were commercial sales points, but they would not take any projects.

Originally, the locals were still using Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing as a backup and negotiating terms with this Hong Kong company. But now?
"Yiyuan Zhizao has withdrawn. How is that possible? They paid us a deposit for the project bidding. Now they have withdrawn and there is nothing left. Are you sure?"

Although the people here wear robes and eat simple meals.

But if you think the people here are simple-minded, then it proves that you are simple-minded. Throughout the ages, this place has been a distribution center for commerce, and many emperors and generals have risen here.

Business has always been what the locals are best at, and fighting is a sideline. They are not good at industry because it is the opponent's weakness, but in terms of competition, these people know how to do it since they were children, it's in their genes.

"Yiyuan Zhizao has indeed gone. We only have one choice now, which is this Hong Kong company!"

The subordinate confirmed it over the phone, and the big beard on his face moved a few times.

It was as if the staff from Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing had never been there. All traces of them in the desert had disappeared, and even the stoves had been taken away.

"Sign a contract with a Hong Kong company. We want to purchase equipment immediately!"

Harat is an important iron ore base with rich mineral resources. The British, Soviets, and Americans are all frequent visitors here, and everyone wants to mine here.

Now the reserves are still abundant, and Banban is eager to exchange for foreign exchange to develop the country's economy. Therefore, in order to prepare for the arrival of customers earlier, the other party is prepared to prepare the supporting facilities first.

From railways to auxiliary equipment, the contract is worth $300 million.

Auxiliary roads, sleepers, stackers and reclaimers, dumpers, tractors, crushers, all mining machinery and heavy trucks all need to be purchased.

When Yiyuan Zhizao was here, the two companies competed for the price, and Banban negotiated a price of 240 million yuan.

"Three hundred and sixty million, no bargaining!"

At the same time, the people in the Hong Kong company also learned that Ji Donglai’s people had withdrawn from the bidding. They were very happy, knowing that their operations in China had worked, and they immediately raised the price.

"I'm sorry, we've recalculated and there's something wrong with the previous quotation. Now we have to execute according to the new quotation. If you need us to sign the contract."

"Besides, we are the only supplier for the entire project. Do you have any other choice? We believe that we can provide good and high-quality services. If you don't trust us, you can find someone else. We won't mind!"

The leader, a Fujianese, had a smug look on his face.

After finally squeezing out Ji Donglai, my company must take this opportunity to get back all the money we have invested. Besides, Europe and the United States have withdrawn now, and only our group of people are strong. The other party is not worried at all that Banban will not purchase. The other party is now under an international blockade, and there are not many companies to choose from.

"Profiteer..."

The person in charge of Banban was also angry at this time. He had always been the master of others, but now he was being controlled by the other party. The other party immediately took out the AK. The bodyguard of the Minnan man was not to be outdone and raised his weapon.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight, but in the end, Ban Ban gave in. As for the contract? The other party didn't sign it.

"Hehe, do you have any choice?"

Faced with Banban who left in anger, these people all had smiles in their eyes.

As for Hu Xinyu, she quickly reported the situation here to Ji Donglai. As the big shot in Central Asia, Hu Xinyu is the most anxious now. Ji Donglai puts the focus here, and it must be a big result.

"Boss Hu, you must leave for Uzbekistan immediately. Our company's core business cannot be threatened at this stage. Let others play with the emerging markets first. Don't be in a hurry!"

Thinking of the wealthy Kan Changshun and the current situation in Afghanistan, Ji Donglai knew that he should teach some people a lesson.

Hu Xinyu immediately got up and went to Uzbekistan. Just one hour after she left, Banban’s representative came to her door.

"Left? When? What for?"

Faced with the responsible answer, Banban was hurt.

I thought I had invited Hu Xinyu back, but I didn't expect that Hu Xinyu had already gone to Uzbekistan. The other party was instantly upset. This means that Hu Xinyu might have given up this market share. If this business is really given up, then you have to pay half more money.

That's money!
"What do you mean by 'not good'? This involves commercial secrets, so we can't talk about it. If you need to contact Mr. Hu, please leave your contact information and we will pass it on. We can't make the decision on the business here. You know, we were just kicked out of Harat's business by you, so Mr. Hu had no choice but to leave."

"In addition, we don't want to compete with Chinese companies. We are compatriots. Once competition is formed, we will not be able to meet in China. Please forgive us!"

If you are asked to bring in Chinese companies, that's all we can do.

When Banban heard the person in charge say this, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

It is said that Chinese businessmen have no bottom line and will do anything as long as they are paid. They often fight with each other internationally, especially over iron ore.

In Banban's opinion, Yiyuan Zhizao's investment in Karat is simply because it has taken a fancy to iron ore and wants to ship it back to China.

Now Ji Donglai has withdrawn, even Hu Xinyu has withdrawn. This is clear, the other party has not caught up with the iron ore here, just simply selling equipment.

The matter of using iron ore to pay for equipment can only be abandoned. What does it mean to shoot oneself in the foot?

"When will Mr. Hu be back? We have something important to discuss with him. Where is your Mr. Ji? We can contact him..."

If you can't find Hu Xinyu, then find Ji Donglai. Everyone knows that Ji Donglai is the actual controller of this large enterprise.

"Everyone, I think we should not look for President Ji on this matter. President Ji is just trying to help. In the past few years, Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing has helped the local area a lot. Although we have obtained some things, it was not through you."

"Mr. Ji has a lot of things to do right now, so he doesn't have time to deal with things here for the time being. Please forgive me!"

Facing Banban who had something to ask of him, Ji Donglai had already made a strategy: not to offend, but not to cling to him. From the first day here, Ji Donglai had walked on a tightrope, and had established contacts with all parties, so he didn't need to worry about anything.

As for the people from Harat, Ji Donglai had never dealt with them before, so it remained to be seen what they were like.

In this way, Banban stayed here for two hours before leaving in disappointment.

As for the cooperation? The other party finally signed a contract with the Hong Kong company, and the means of payment was iron ore.

"Don't settle with them through us. We don't want to take these businesses. Remember, it's locked on the platform!"

After receiving the information from insiders, Ji Donglai immediately gave a strict order and immediately blocked the platform to avoid getting into trouble.

As it turned out, Ji Donglai's words soon came true.

The Hong Kong company's goods entered through the customs of Pakistan and Turkmenistan. The first batch of arrivals were mining trucks, a spectacular sight of 32 vehicles.

The local TV station made a special report on this incident. Hu Xinyu quietly watched everything on the scene in Uzbekistan, including the speech by the Minnan man.
