Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2166 Want us to go back? You have to ask!
"Does that mean I'll lose money by hiring you? Our project is worth more than 300 million, and you've negotiated a deal worth more than 10 million for me?"

Faced with this team, Kan Changshun was furious.

"Mr. Lu, if you think our results are unreasonable, you can just find someone else to do it. We have no objection! Only by comparison can we know the good and the bad. We believe this very much. Please pay the fee to our leader. Can we end the cooperation now? If so, I will leave!"

Being able to communicate with Banban shows that no one is a pushover and the other party is not afraid at all.

Kan Changshun wanted to hit someone, but thinking that the other party was not his employee, he finally held back and asked his subordinates to settle the other party's salary, and then threw his cell phone heavily to the ground.

If he took it back at the other party's price, Kan Changshun could suffer less loss, but that was all. The entire project would be in vain.

"The best way is to withdraw. Even if the project is successfully constructed, it will take three to five years, and the other party's iron ore cannot be transported out for a while."

"In the newly formed group, the major forces are struggling with each other, and it is difficult to form a joint force from the south to the north. If we don't withdraw in time, these funds may be stuck here for ten years, and there may not be any return."

"There are also oil and gas field projects in the north. The family power here is very large. If we really put all our money in and the other party unilaterally stopped production, we don't have much foundation in the local area and there is no way to recover the cost."

"This kind of thing is not uncommon in this magical land. When Mobil was here, there were garrisons in the area. These people dared to do this. We have no foundation now, so I don't recommend large-scale investment here."

“The best way to make money is to go to a mature market, and only then can you dare to be the best in the world, so as to avoid being trapped here!”

The new accountant was once one of the persons in charge of a large state-owned enterprise in Central Asia. He fled due to corruption and is now employed by Kan Changshun.

The other party looked at Kan Changshun's investment plan in detail, and especially learned that Yiyuan Zhizao had voluntarily withdrawn from the project, so they knew there must be something fishy going on.

You should know that in the seven Central Asian countries, Yiyuan Zhizao has absolute say, and as long as the other party invests, it is a sure thing. But now Kan Changshun went to compete, and Yiyuan Zhizao withdrew. What's going on?
This project either has problems or is fraught with huge danger. To be on the safe side, the other party gave Kan Changshun some advice.

Kan Changshun closed his eyes and calmed down for a while. All he could think about was the suffering he had endured outside. He thought he could win back the dispute with Ji Donglai, but now he saw that he had lost again.

This feeling is so bad, it's so uncomfortable to have this feeling stuck in my heart.

"Let's sell it and find a reliable person to do it. As for the investment in Central Asia, let's wait and see!"

With his fists clenched tightly, Kan Changshun finally gave up rationally.

However, his hatred towards Ji Donglai became even stronger, because in the other party's view, this was a trap set by Ji Donglai. If Yiyuan Zhizao had not been negotiating there, he would not have moved forward. Now his funds were tied up there.

In this way, Kan Changshun's people sold the projects including the Khanchar project in the north, the Harat project in the south, the equipment and the operating rights through a third party for 12 million yuan.

"Boss Ji, this time the locals came to us and wanted them to provide the equipment and we would be responsible for the operation. Should we do it?"

Hu Xinyu soon received a call from Banban, hoping that Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing could get this thing up and running. In the other party's view, the equipment was already in place, and all that was needed was the people.

Ji Donglai has sent local people to the scene secretly to take all the photos. Now Ji Donglai has all the information.

"It will take half a year to restore the equipment, so how can we run it? We talked to them and asked them how much it would cost to restore the equipment and run the whole project."

"Remember, we charge for spare parts separately. Those equipment are outdated, only fools would buy them! If they really want to operate for a long time, they can spend money to buy them from us again."

"We can help with operations, but we won't get involved unless you leave everything to us! These are the conditions, you can add the rest, don't be anxious, let's talk slowly!"

Holding the satellite map in his hand, Ji Donglai carefully examined every detail on it.

Both the iron mines in the south and the oil and gas fields in the north are large-investment projects. Kan Changshun wanted to make a fortune, but he met a group of more professional people and failed.

This reminded Ji Donglai that his people were going too smoothly. Fortunately, Kan Changshun and Banban were leading the way at this time, otherwise Ji Donglai might have been the one who died this time.

In this way, Hu Xinyu returned to Afghanistan, sat in a bumpy jeep, and headed to Harat in a huge convoy.

The tires of the car in front rolled over the ground, creating billowing dust. The entire convoy stretched out a long line in the vast Gobi Desert. Everyone in the car could also smell the heavy smell of dust. Every Chinese person wore a mask.

The security guards of the Guard wore bulletproof vests weighing dozens of kilograms, held their weapons in both hands, and looked around vigilantly, not daring to relax for a moment.

The car took a whole day to enter the mining area, which had been mined by Europeans and Americans for a long time.

Because of this incident, there have been many conflicts between the US and Iranian armies in the area, because the mines here are extensions of the large iron ore veins in Iran.

According to the other party's request, this place should belong to Iran.

Europeans and Americans have never been reasonable. In fact, they want to take all the iron ore in Iran, so there have always been disputes.

The locals are dancing in the faces of local and international forces and dare not move at all.

"Hello, General Manager Hu. These are the latest equipment we purchased. We hope that you can use them to build a modern, international production line for us to help us mine iron ore and then sell it to your country..."

The local person in charge shook hands with Hu Xinyu and pointed at the seized equipment of Kan Changshun and spoke eloquently. Hu Xinyu walked forward slowly, listened quietly, and carefully checked every detail.

"Give me the hammer!"

Having followed Ji Donglai for such a long time, Hu Xinyu already had some knowledge about equipment. Seeing the long arm of the stacker-reclaimer, Hu Xinyu called out to the assistant, who quickly handed over the hammer.

"puff!"

"fuck!"

As Hu Xinyu hit the upper arm with the hammer, a deep hole appeared on it. Hu Xinyu used the hammer to dig it out.

All the metal pieces around were peeling off. Hu Xinyu took a hammer and knocked on several places in this direction, and almost all of them were leaking.

The person in charge of Banban looked very unhappy at this time. It was true that the other party's industry was relatively backward, but that didn't mean that they were stupid! This equipment was like paper, it would be strange if it could be used.

"Is this the modern equipment you bought? I dare say that even if you don't produce it, it will break even when you assemble it. You still expect us to help you produce it with this equipment? I dare to turn it on for you, but do you dare to use it?"

After returning the hammer to his subordinate, Hu Xinyu looked back at the local person in charge. At this time, the person in charge's expression had changed from excitement to embarrassment.

I thought I had picked up a great bargain, but now it seems there is something fishy going on.

"It can still be used after repair. We believe that these equipment can definitely be used for reasonable production after being repaired by your company!"

He still has a traditional personality. He never admits his mistakes or that he has problems. Even the translator is too lazy to translate what he says because he always says irrelevant things.

"Mr. Hu, this..."

An engineer who followed behind said something in Hu Xinyu's ear and then pointed at the equipment next to her. Hu Xinyu looked at the other person and then followed him.

“Do you have an angle grinder?”

Facing several people, Hu Xinyu asked loudly, and the other party hurriedly took out an electric tool. In fact, it was also a toolbox sent by Kan Changshun's people, and they happened to have some stock.

"Cut it open..."

"Buzzing..."

"What are you doing? This is our equipment, stop it..."

Following Hu Xinyu's order, his men immediately started the angle grinder and cut open a closed area. Banban shouted for a while, but in less than a minute, the other party fell silent.

There was cement underneath the three-millimeter-thick steel plate, so Hu Xinyu asked his men to hand the angle grinder to the other party.

This time, Hu Xinyu didn't need to give any instructions, and the group went to verify it immediately.

Almost all heavy equipment was filled with cement, especially several 75-ton cranes, whose arms were full of cement. The steel plates were only thick and could not be used at all, unless someone wanted to see Allah sooner.

"You're using a pile of cement to attract our investment, and you're sticking some scrap copper and iron on it and calling it equipment? Guys, let me be frank, the iron ore under your feet is stronger than these equipment. You expect us to use this to help you mine and operate it, am I right?"

Facing this group of managers, Hu Xinyu was not polite at all.

This time Hu Xinyu had only one goal. All the equipment here had to be purchased from Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing. These scraps? They couldn't even be recycled. What fool would buy piles of cement?

Just like that, the first day of the meeting ended in a whimper.

That night, Banban, who was in charge of this matter, was taken away, and none of the other party's men were left.

The next day, Hu Xinyu finally got up, rubbed her sore arm, and started working.

The gas stove was turned on, and the vegetables from Kabul began to be stir-fried. Four Chinese side dishes were served in minutes. When Hu Xinyu was done, the dishes here were already on the table.

"There was a change of people here last night. The newcomer is a European traveler, and they want to see you!"

Now Hu Xinyu brings her own chef wherever she goes because she really can’t get used to the local food, which is simple and not tasty.

"Wait a minute, I was exhausted from driving yesterday. If private jets weren't banned, I would have taken a plane. Driving is so damn uncomfortable!"

After finishing the meal, Hu Xinyu slept for another hour before getting up to greet the impatient Banban.

"Manager Hu, we would like to ask how much and how long it will take to purchase these equipment from Yiyuan Zhizao?"

The person who met Hu Xinyu this time was an old man who had been dealing with Yiyuan Zhizao for a long time. Hu Xinyu had some impression of him, and his subordinates made tea for him.

"Half a year. We can now offer you a preferential price. Some equipment can be made in Afghanistan. We import steel from China."

"But the price won't be too low, after all, the cost is there. We don't accept iron ore as payment, because we really have nowhere to sell it. The rest of the products we purchased before are fine, as are agricultural and sideline products."
