Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 361 Collaborators

Even if you fail to marry Chu Xiangqian in the end, if you stay with him for three to five years and make enough money to go back to your hometown and get married, your life will not be bad.

After all, an Indian woman's status in her husband's family depends entirely on how much dowry she brought when she married.

Linda stretched out her hand and pushed Alyssa gently on her back, and the girl also pounced on Chu Qianqian.

Chu Qiang knew what the sisters were thinking as soon as he looked forward. As long as money could solve the problem, it was not a problem for him.

He put his arms around Alyssa's waist. Although it was not a slender waist, after all, Asan's woman had a big frame and her body was generally quite plump.

But I am used to touching the thin waists of Feifei and Margaret, and now switching to a soft and slightly fleshy one is a different experience.

After steadying Alyssa, Chu moved forward and looked into her eyes with the corners of his mouth raised and asked, "How have you been lately?"

Alyssa was stunned, her pretty face turned red, and she whispered, "Although my sister has moved to another house, I can only stay in a small bathroom to take a shower, and it's a little difficult to turn around."

After saying that, he deliberately straightened his chest, and then tilted his buttocks slightly to Chu's forward side, so that he could easily see the ripples of his chest.

Looking at the delicate and charming face in front of him, Chu Qianqian became even more excited.

Reaching out to hold the beauty in his arms tightly, Chu Qianqian laughed, "At the beginning of this month, I bought a villa with an area of ​​more than 3000 square feet on Feng Wu Street in Wong Tai Sin.

How about we go take a look tomorrow?If you think it's appropriate, can you and your sister move in together temporarily? "

Linda and Alyssa looked happy. Linda walked over directly, hugged Chu Qianqian from behind, and whispered in his ear, "Boss, are you just staying temporarily?"

Chu shrugged forward, "It's no problem if you want to stay here forever. I'm also willing to give you sisters pocket money every month. But there are gains and losses. You guys can tell me after you think about it."

Alyssa was still a little hesitant. After all, Chu told Qianqian that the sisters would live together.

Of course, there is no need to say anything about what he is planning.

But Linda didn't have those scruples. Being able to be Charles' female secretary already showed a lot of problems.

Now that I have met a financial backer who is richer, more promising, younger and more handsome, only a fool would hesitate.

Linda simply bit Chu Qianqian's earlobe gently, and her hands started acting mischievously.

Chu Xiangqian was not very interested in Linda, and Alisa in his arms was said to be still a rookie.

I would be really sorry for Linda's kindness if I didn't eat her.

Besides, why do you make so much money?To put it bluntly, life is not better.

More than an hour later, Chu Qianqian stood on the back deck of the yacht smoking a cigar, looking at the sea that had darkened slightly.

After a while, her ears twitched, and when she turned around, she saw Linda wearing a silk robe, carrying two empty wine glasses and champagne walking to her side.

He asked with a smile, "Dear boss, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

After being beaten, Alisa could only sleep soundly in the cabin. Although Linda was also over-exercised, she was experienced after all.

After resting for half an hour, you can move freely.

"When we land tomorrow, I will take you to see the villa. If you don't like it, then you can see the house near the Yau Ma Tei Police Station.

After you buy it, it's all up to you how you want to decorate it.

From now on, you and Alyssa will each receive one thousand Hong Kong dollars in pocket money every month.When the business in India starts, you two will get 1% commission on every transaction.

This is your reward. "

Linda no longer had any worries now, she hugged Chu Qianqian's waist and pressed her pretty face against his chest.

He said excitedly, "I have already contacted my family. As long as the deposit is paid, the first batch of 5 tons of rosewood will be shipped over."

Chu Xiangqian shook his head in his heart, there was no need to expect Ah San's credibility at all.

If you don't pay the [-]% deposit yourself, the person over there will disappear.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian also believes that this is a matter of probability, and they cannot all be liars, otherwise India's economy would not be developing well.

But Chu Xiangqian also believed that if he didn't have any means to restrain them, he would definitely be the one who was deceived.

After thinking about it, I still planned to hand this over to Huang Weixin and Huang Dazhuang, and I also had to ask him to contact a British lawyer who had opened a law firm in India first.

Only with the guarantee of a British law firm practicing in India can this business be stable.

Unexpectedly, Linda was more meticulous than she thought, and immediately asked Chu Qianqian to open an account in a bank in London.

After the goods are received and verified to be qualified, the bank in London will be notified to make the payment, or both parties may simply open an account at that bank.

Internal direct billing and transfers.

Chu Xiangqian secretly thought, the people who understand you must be one of your own.

Then I thought of Standard Chartered Bank.

I picked up the onboard phone on the yacht and called Juan Montero, Standard Chartered’s chief executive.

Car phones have been around since the 30s, and they can also be installed on yachts.

Chu Xiangqian didn't know the specific principle, but the communication distance of the phone on the yacht was only 100 nautical miles.

Perhaps it's more like a walkie-talkie than a phone.

After talking to Juan Montero for a few minutes, it was confirmed that Standard Chartered, as the settlement bank, would not only guarantee the safety of the funds in the transaction.

If there are lawsuits and disputes, they are also responsible for pursuing liability and recovering losses in India.

But correspondingly, the commission is also quoted at 12%.

Chu Xiangqian naturally had to bargain, and finally settled on a 7% commission.

Chu Xiangqian was quite satisfied with this and regarded it as insurance bought with money. Otherwise, if someone had cheated him out of his 3% deposit, he would not know who to sue in India.
It is even difficult to say whether the local court will accept the case.

The price of red sandalwood is 2 pounds per ton and 3.2 Hong Kong dollars per ton. For a set of furniture, you can buy a 7-80 square meter house.

It also made Chu Xiangqian understand that no matter what era it was, this kind of wood had never been affordable for ordinary people.

Of course, red sandalwood is also divided into grades. In a few decades, the best ones can be purchased for 200 million yuan per ton, while the worse ones will only cost tens of thousands.

At its lowest, I heard it was more than 1 per ton.

Chu Xiangqian thought silently in his heart, it would be better to order only 5 tons for the first time, so as not to buy too much at once, which would cause greater losses if he was cheated.

And 5 tons of 1 pounds is equal to 16 Hong Kong dollars.With this little money, Chu Xiangqian was still willing to give it a try.

If this business is completed, Linda and Alisa will also receive a commission of HK$1600.

And this is just the first batch. As the number of transactions increases, the total price of the goods will naturally gradually increase.

After Chu Xiangqian hung up the phone, he thought for a moment, looked at Linda and asked, "I want to buy 5 tons of rice and transport it with the 5 tons of red sandalwood. Is there any problem?"

Linda was stunned for a moment, then thought of the newspaper saying that there was a natural disaster in China.

As for what Chu Xiangqian did with the grain, Linda didn't care at all.

After thinking about it, he said, "Due to shipping, the price may be more expensive than rice in Southeast Asia." Chu Xiangqian didn't care about this. As long as the price was not too expensive, he could accept it.

"Until the end of the year, you and Alyssa can both get 5% commission on 1 tons per month."

Linda no longer had any scruples, and Chu Xiangqian also agreed with her that the price of food would not exceed 10% of the price of food in Luzon, and the business would continue until the end of this year.

Last time, Chu Xiangqian learned from Baifanyu that rice in Luzon Island cost HKD 3 per pound.

In other words, as long as the price in India is 3 cents per pound, Chu Xiangqian doesn't care what price Linda negotiates with her hometown.

Even if she can lower the price to 3 cents and pay for the shipping, that's still her ability.

And 5 tons is equal to 1000 million catties, which is 330 million Hong Kong dollars.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian also promised to pay 1% commission.

If this business is completed, Linda will be able to buy a house or even a villa on Hong Kong Island immediately.

And maybe she will resign directly and open an import and export company after completing her first business.

Linda thought for a while, "Boss, I need to make a call."

Chu nodded forward, picked up the ship's phone and handed it over.

Ten minutes later, Linda hung up the phone and thought about it for several minutes with a troubled expression on her face before exhaling.

He smiled and said to Chu Qianqian, "Boss, what you will never expect is that my father said that the rice in Odisha this year is only 3.2 pence per pound."

Chu Qianqian was stunned and calculated silently in his mind: 1 pound is equal to 20 shillings, and 1 shilling is equal to 12 pence.

One pound is equal to 0.9 pounds.

Converted into Hong Kong dollars, it’s about 0.22 Hong Kong dollars per pound.

This is 0.08 Hong Kong dollars per pound cheaper than rice from Luzon Island, and 5 tons can save 80 Hong Kong dollars.

This is a full 0.33 million Hong Kong dollars cheaper than the purchase price of 110 Hong Kong dollars that I set before.

Chu Xiangqian was breathing heavily just thinking about it.

But if you think about it seriously, the lack of food in China means that Hong Kong Island basically has no hope of importing food from China.

Neighboring countries will naturally raise the price of grain exports, and international trade these days is definitely a world away from what it was a few decades later.

There is no comparison at all.

The extremely slow speed of information dissemination alone makes it difficult for most businessmen to do import and export business.

Coupled with the security issues of capital transactions and cross-border trade settlement issues, many businesses are in the hands of large multinational companies.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people in China in the 90s who could make a lot of money just by doing simple import and export resale business.

Even just from inter-provincial trade, some people have become millionaires or multi-millionaires in a few years.

After Chu Qianqian thought about this, he looked at Linda curiously and asked, "Why are you telling me these truths?"

Linda sat next to Chu Qianqian distressedly, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Cai smiled bitterly and said, "I also want to hide it from you, but if I think about it carefully, if I want to cooperate with you in the long term, I'd better tell the truth.

And I thought about it, in the future, when the business gets bigger, no one will protect Alyssa and I. No matter how much money we make, it will only harm ourselves. "

As soon as these words came out, Chu Xiangqian was immediately surprised, but thinking about Linda being able to be Charles's secretary, with more experience, the novice would slowly turn into an old bird.

Not to mention that Linda definitely knew that she had killed Lame Hao and his men.

If he dared to lie to himself, the lame man would kill him, let alone Linda and Alyssa.

He pulled Alyssa into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her, "Baby, believe me, you will become a famous rich woman in Hong Kong Island in the future.

You don’t even have to think about making money and going back to India to get married.

You can buy your own villa and settle in Hong Kong Island.Get rid of all the restrictions on women in India. "

Linda was stunned for a moment, and then she really started thinking about it seriously.

Chu Xiangqian was thinking that it was not enough to just import from India. At least he had to export something to them to offset the financial losses caused by imports.

The first choice is naturally industrial products. No matter how bad it is, I believe that among the rich people in Asan, there must be some who like thoroughbred horses and Arabian horses.

As for the sweaty horse, Chu Xiangqian really didn't have much confidence.

But even if there are only thirty or fifty Arabian horses per year, it is still three and a half million pounds, which is equivalent to 50 to 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

Even these horses can be sold directly to the collaborators Linda finds.

Both sides can make money, and I believe those collaborators will 100% support Linda as if she were a grandma.

And he who provides these for Linda will also become God to Linda and Elsa.

"In a few days, the Jockey Club will hold an auction of blood horses and Arabian horses, and I will take you to the venue.

If your collaborators in your hometown are interested in horse racing, I can provide all the expenses such as air tickets and accommodation, and invite them to come and play for a few days. "

Linda was stunned for a moment, and then she guessed that Chu Xiangqian was planning to sell the horse to the rich people in Orissa.

After thinking about it, he smiled and asked, "How many people can I invite over?"

Chu Xiangqian understood what Linda meant. The more people he invited, the more potential collaborators he would have.

By the way, it can also make people in her hometown look at her with admiration.

"I will book 10 suites at the Peninsula Hotel. You decide the specific number of people. When we return to Hong Kong Island, I will give you 5 Hong Kong dollars, and you and Alisa can go shopping in luxury stores.

Feel free to show your and Alyssa's luxury to your family and friends.If it's not enough, I'll give you another 5 Hong Kong dollars. "

After hearing this, Linda felt confused.

10 Hong Kong dollars is enough to buy two or three thousand-square-foot houses in Yau Ma Tei.

But Chu Xiangqian directly let himself and Alyssa use it to buy luxury goods and show off in front of family and friends.

Chu Xiangqian ignored Linda and picked up the phone to call Butler Hawkins.

Ask him to ask Norton for help, buy a Rolls-Royce and two Bentleys, and fly them to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible.

There are three cars here, enough to take the capable people from Asan Middle School who are coming to Hong Kong to attend the auction.

Other guests can naturally use Peninsula Hotel’s cars to travel.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian also specifically reminded Hawkins to install a car phone in the Rolls-Royce.

With Rolls-Royce, the effect of showing off in front of Indians will definitely be impressive.
