Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2165: The consequences of rashly advancing here

"It's really f*cking infuriating. A company like this can still operate here. How are we going to do business in the future?"

Hu Xinyu's assistant watched TV with Hu Xinyu, both of them with anger in their eyes.

In the Afghan market, Yiyuan Zhizao, which had survived the hail of bullets, is now having its food robbed by a group of small fry, and the other party was able to get a big reward, which shows that it was premeditated.

The other company has been exposed this time and will definitely receive more orders in the future.

"Remain calm. President Ji must have a reason for asking us to withdraw. Just sit back and watch the storm unfold. Haha!"

Hu Xinyu actually understood it, because Afghanistan's market has never been so smooth. Every time Yiyuan Zhizao delivers something, there are always many people coming to inspect it. This time the company delivered it so smoothly, which is abnormal in itself.

Besides, the Banban organization has not yet formed a formal government. In other words, the contract signed by the other party is only protected by the local government. As for the extent of the protection?
Hu Xinyu knew this in her heart. She had already figured it out after stumbling over this aspect over the years. As for this company...

"Huh? You don't pay, why?"

After a week of flying, all the equipment of the Hong Kong company began to be assembled on the ground. Problems arose when the Hong Kong company began to ask the locals for payment.

"Our experts are coming to prepare for the inspection. If your equipment is not inspected after delivery, we will pay you. Have you ever seen such a situation?"

The local Banban looked calm and at ease.

The person in charge of collecting money was panicking at this time, because all these equipment were second-hand without exception, and even the paint was done later. There were three or four colors of paint on the same set of equipment. Any expert could tell the difference at a glance.

Besides, whether the acceptance can be started or not is still a question.

These equipments have been in the desert environment for so long that they really can’t function anymore. Do you still want the money?

So after the other party made the call, he immediately bribed the person in charge of guarding and acceptance with three thousand US dollars.

"We are God's people and cannot do such things. You must know that we need to ..."

Holding the funds, the bearded man didn't say that there was not enough money, but it was the same. He and his gang needed to be responsible to the gods. It was not until the briber gave 10,000 US dollars that the other party picked up the phone and called someone to come over for inspection.

Formal things need to be gone through, various formalities.

Only after getting the signature from this side, the person responsible for collecting the payment will take the list to find the other party's finance department.

"That won't work. We are the five responsible persons. You have to get the signatures of all five responsible persons. Otherwise, we can't pay you to proceed to the next step!"

The financial staff took out a list, but the person asking for money couldn't understand it at all and was very confused.

I repeated the same thing five times, and when I went to the finance department again, I was rejected again.

"Your customs manifest does not match the actual items that have landed. Customs has not yet completed customs clearance. You cannot be considered to have landed. You must wait for customs clearance!"

The reason given by the finance department this time shocked those who asked for money, because it was completely reasonable and legal.

As for when the customs officers would come? The people who wanted the money didn't know who to turn to, so they asked the locals to call the customs officers over after various requests. However, the matter was far from being as simple as they thought.

"A fine? Why?"

The customs officers simply walked around the scene twice and issued a sky-high fine to the person who asked for money.

"Who allowed you to open the boxes? It's illegal for you to open the boxes without customs inspection. And you are not allowed to enter this warehouse. If you enter, you will be fined!"

"Go to the customs first and pay the fine, then we will come to inspect the goods. The things here cannot be lost. If they are lost, you will have to pay a fine, because these are already our country's goods..."

The customs officer said as he handed another document to the person asking for money, who was now completely petrified.

After visiting so many countries, the other party never expected this situation to happen.

We found a local translator, and the fine alone was one million dollars.

"What for? We are here to deliver goods, not to deliver them. Should we pay the fine for this? Find me a lawyer and sue them..."

The head of the company tore off his tie and slammed it on the table.

From the other party's perspective, their company was absolutely in the right in the whole matter, and there were not many lawsuits in the local area, so the case went to court very quickly.

The lawyers hired from overseas were very confident when they saw the evidence provided by the company.

"We can definitely win. How can we not win when the facts of this case are so clear? Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll finish it in three days!"

After gathering all the information and people, the lawyer prepared to go to court the next day. He set off in the evening. His lungs were almost shaken along the way because the road was so bad.

It took nearly ten hours of bumpy ride to reach the city where the court was located, and it was already morning.

"vomit……"

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the earth, and the lawyer vomited all the food he had eaten the day before. He finally found a place to eat something, and the lawyer almost died in the restaurant.

The assistants there kept going to the court to urge them, but the court didn't open until 10:30 in the morning. As for today's trial? The other party didn't prepare for the court session until 11:00, and the people from the customs and the representatives from Banban didn't arrive until 11:10.

The lawyer gathered his strength and read out his complaint, and then the translator made various statements.

The lawyer was in a bad mental state to begin with, and the translation was also half-baked, so he could only understand the general idea.

"Did you take anything from the warehouse?"

Halfway through the trial, the lawyer was confused, and Banban presented several documents and videos.

"No, we didn't take anything!"

The people in the company were also confused, because they didn't know there was a video when the other party was making those things. It was normal to take out some of the core things and buy them back in other places. Anyway, they had already paid for it, so recovering the cost was nothing. No one expected that there was a video.

"They said you drove a pickup truck every time and bribed the guards. There was video footage of the scene. You just took things, so you couldn't wait to ask for money and leave."

"The equipment is not working at all. This is a big project. You stole important control components in order to earn follow-up funds. If you didn't steal, why did you drive a pickup truck over there? And even a truck several times later?"

The lawyer had a very gloomy face because the Hong Kong company did not inform him in advance.

Bribery is a very serious crime locally, and if combined with stealing, you can go straight to jail.

The lawyer really wanted to slap himself in the face, thinking he was stupid.

The bribes you gave to these guys are not as good as those you gave to the judges, and now you are still fighting for your life?
It turned out that the people in the Hong Kong company had messed up. A company that was sure to win the lawsuit lost because of the other party's bribery and pickup truck, and the appearance of the video.

What’s more serious is that several local guards in the video were sent to prison. The person in charge of the company happened to be away, otherwise he would have been arrested as well. The local company responsible for the contact sued the Hong Kong company for contract fraud.

"How could this happen? Who can tell me why this happened?"

Kan Changshun was also confused. The other party's shell company spent more than 30 million to purchase these equipment in Central Asia, and then refurbished them and resold them to Banban, hoping to make a fortune. But now, the equipment and the people have been detained.

The equipment for the northern oil and gas field project is still in the hands of the customs. If customs clearance is not handled properly, it will suffer the same fate. Now Kan Changshun feels that he has fallen into a trap, and the trap is getting tighter and tighter.

The total amount of fines and bribes is no less than 5 million US dollars. It has been paid in full. It is true that the company is still profitable, but what is the next step? Will there be more troubles?

Once this contract is torn up, everything that follows will be completely ruined.

In Turkmenistan, Kan Changshun had just taken over a local steel company through an agent. He was counting on this side to pay for iron ore as raw materials, and then sell the steel to Banban to build a country.

The asphalt contract with the refinery has been signed, and even the rails are ready to be ordered. Kan Changshun is ready to make a fortune.

"We have no experience in this area. The best thing to do now is to bail them out and withdraw everything!"

Facing Kan Changshun, the new secretary whispered a suggestion.

The whole plan was risky. Even a fool would know that these people were not easy to deal with, but they chose to invest there. Moreover, Yiyuan Zhizao had invested there for such a long time, but now they have withdrawn. Why? There must be something wrong!

"What I want is a solution, not an afterthought. Find a solution for me now!"

Kan Changshun has always been unwilling to accept Ji Donglai and is determined to defeat Ji Donglai.

After several years of fleeing and escaping death several times, Kan Changshun's personality is now more paranoid than before. Many of the newly hired people are also fugitives, and they feel very uncomfortable when they are scolded by Kan Changshun.

What followed was a half-hour long silence. No matter what Kan Changshun said, no one said a word, because everyone was the same, and the worst that could happen was that they would just not work for him.

Kan Changshun was so angry that he fired all these people. His identity as Master Lu was still the best cover. He asked his men to hire a new team and go to Afghan to resolve the matter.

"13 million RMB, they accepted these devices, this is the final offer, otherwise these devices will be confiscated!"

This team was very efficient and directly gave Director Kan a quotation that made him furious. What was even more exciting was that the equipment was cleared by customs.

"What? Is this how you solve the problem? I want my equipment, which is worth more than 300 million yuan. Now you want to take it away for one tenth of the price? Are you kidding me?"

Facing this team, Kan Changshun almost went berserk, but the team leader was not in a hurry at this time.

"Mr. Lu, we checked the purchaser of your equipment, the shipping cost, and asked a professional team for a quote. The final price is this. We talked with the other party for a long time before determining this price. If you are not satisfied, our cooperation ends here."

What a joke, who is here to be your slave?
How long has this equipment been lost in the desert? Don't you know? They refurbished it and sold it to you. They are not stupid. Do you really think that people who wear slippers are of low IQ?

These people all came back from Europe and the United States. They are elites there, right?

Besides, the equipment has been disassembled now, you take it away? Who can tell clearly, there is a dispute, okay!
