Jagged Warlord

17. Business

At that time, there were more than 500 large foreign firms and hundreds of small foreign firms in Tianjin. Among them, Youlihe Foreign Firm, Chanchen Foreign Firm, Shichang Foreign Firm, Zengmao Foreign Firm, and Xinglong Foreign Firm mainly engaged in arms trade.Japanese foreign companies do not let go of any opportunity.Foreign businessmen took advantage of their privileges to illegally set up warehouses and conduct illegal trade in non-treaty port cities and towns in the Mainland.

Li Mohan took out a list and passed it to Lübeck from Gao Xiang, saying: "I want to build a power plant to supply electricity to a city with a population of 1. I need generators, turbines, and all distribution machines. In addition, I also need need~~"

Before Li Mohan finished speaking, Lübeck interrupted him with a gesture and said, "I'm sorry, I have some urgent business to deal with." After finishing speaking, he got up unceremoniously and walked to the door, and said to the waiter: "Let's Feng came to receive them."

Then he went upstairs without looking back. While going upstairs, he said to the waiter in German: "In the future, first ask them what they want. If you don't want any guests, let me personally receive them."

The waiter hurriedly nodded and bowed, obediently.

Li Mohan knew eight languages, and he could understand German, so he couldn't help but frown.Although Gao Xiang couldn't hear German, he could still guess four five six.

He said to Li Mohan: "Boss, this foreign devil is really arrogant and rude, otherwise we should change to another company. He is not the only foreign firm in Tianjin."

Li Mohan waved his hand and said, "He thinks my order is too small now, let's see, he will beg me in the future." After saying that, Li Mohan stood up, straightened his clothes, and left with his head held high.

The waiter wanted to stop him, but Li Mohan stared back fiercely.

Walking out of the gate of Lihe foreign firm, across the street is an American foreign firm called Changsheng foreign firm, which has a much smaller appearance than Lihe foreign firm.Li Mohan thought about it and decided to visit this place.

The person who received Li Mohan was a foreign manager named Strong, a native of California.Li Mohan's American English has a slight southern accent, which makes the distance between Li Mohan and Strong a lot closer.

Strong has seen many Chinese who can speak English, but this is the first time he has seen a Chinese with a southern accent.After a few casual words, Strong got back to business and said, "Misto Lee, what do you want to buy?"

Li Mohan directly took out a list, pushed it in front of Strong, and said, "That's it."

Strong looked at it, frowned slightly, and then smiled. The list is all industrial machinery and equipment.Strong has been in China for many years, but he has only been working as a manager of Changsheng Foreign Firm for less than half a year.Strong was a little excited. He calculated in his mind that the order was at least 10 US dollars, which was also a big order for him.

Maybe it was because of excitement, at this time he asked a stupid question, "Misto Lee, you Chinese prefer well-made European products or cheap Japanese products, why do you~~"

Li Mohan replied with a smile: "I have lived in the United States for several years, and I have a special feeling for this country. Is this reason okay?"

Strong also realized how stupid his question was, and quickly said: "Of course, of course, the United States is indeed a country that is easy to like."

Prosperity Co., Ltd. is just a small firm, and Li Mohan needs a relatively large amount of supplies. I am afraid that Prosperity Co., Ltd. will not be able to produce so many off-the-shelf goods for a while.Of course, Strong will never give up this order easily. He stood up and asked someone to make coffee for Li Mohan. He got up and said, "This is a big business, and I need to report to the boss. During this period, I hope you Would love our coffee."

Li Mohan raised his coffee cup slightly and said, "Please go ahead."

The general manager's office of Changsheng Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. is upstairs. Strong took the order and hurried upstairs. Before entering the door, he heard the voice of the boss's daughter, Miss Marion, "Daddy, I want to buy this piece of jewelry~"

Then the boss, Mr. Smith, sighed helplessly, "My dear daughter, you know our business is not very good, you should know how to control yourself."

Then there's all kinds of blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Strong coughed outside the door, then knocked on the door, "Boss, I'm Strong, I need you urgently."

After a while, the door opened, and the beautiful and plump Miss Marion came out, smelling her body scent as she passed Strong.

The aroma entered Strong's nostrils, making his heart flutter.He took the order and handed it to Smith. "Boss, there is a customer downstairs who wants to order these goods."

Smith took the order and looked at it, his eyes wide open. This order is a big deal for a foreign firm of Changsheng's size.Smith picked up the order and said to Strong, "I'll go and talk to that customer myself."

Hardly had Smith and Strong descended the stairs when Miss Marion's giggles were heard downstairs.Smith took a closer look and saw his daughter Marion, a tall and handsome Chinese man in a white suit talking and laughing happily.

Seeing Smith and Strong coming downstairs, Marion introduced them, "This is Misto Lee. This is my father, Mr. Smith." Marion hooked Li Mohan's arm naturally

Strong muttered, "You guys have known each other for a long time?"

Miss Marion smiled and said, "Just a minute ago."

Smith pretended he didn't see anything, and stretched out his hand, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Li."

"Me too." Li Mohan shook hands with Smith

Smith glanced at Marion and said, "Dad wants to talk about business, you go back to the villa first."

Marianne agreed with a smile, and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you at the villa." Her eyes were on Li Mohan

Smith still pretended not to see it, and just said: "Sorry, Mr. Li, you have to know that our foreign firm is not the largest, so if we need so many machines and equipment at one time, the delivery deadline may be delayed."

Li Mohan asked: "How long will it take?"

Smith replied: "Now most of the freighters are busy transporting supplies to Europe. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a shipping schedule~~"

Li Mohan showed a disappointed expression

Smith immediately changed the topic and said, "But I have acquaintances, so it can still be done."

Li Mohan thought for a while, and said, "Then, do you have the steam turbine unit I want in stock now? In terms of price, I can raise it a bit."

Smith was happiest when he heard that the customer was willing to raise the price. He smiled and replied: "We have a 1-horsepower (16kw) steam generator set, which can be provided to you immediately."

Li Mohan asked, "How much?"

Smith really wanted to hook Li Mohan, a big client, so he said, "5000 Chinese silver dollars is enough."

"Deal. I can pay you 2000 silver dollars now." Li Mohan said: "But I need you to send engineers, and I will pay the payment after the installation and commissioning, and the trial run is successful."
