Siheyuan: Rebirth in a prosperous era, great doctors are sincere

Chen Xuehu and He Yongqiang were both present when Vladimir and Yelina were selling jars.

But the conversation was in Russian.

He Yongqiang didn't understand it at all, but Chen Xuehu only understood it a little. He vaguely guessed that He Yongqiang's jars should be worth a lot of money.

The two Su people didn't mention the money to He Yongqiang at all, and He Yongqiang didn't ask any more questions. He thought it was just a dozen pickle jars, and the money they sold probably wasn't even enough to cover their travel expenses.

Consider this matter a thing of the past.

It's none of your business, just hang it up high.

This is what Chen Xuehu thinks in his heart. He will not fall out with two Su people just to get more money from He Yongqiang.

The guy reaped the consequences quickly.

Because it was He Yongqiang's first time in Suzhou, Chen Xuehu asked the hotel owner to find a translator for them and wanted to show He Yongqiang around.

The innkeeper agreed.

Because the relationship between the two countries is very good, there are many Chinese students studying abroad in Mosi Ke at this time. For them, being a translator is a very easy job, which can not only increase their knowledge but also earn some living expenses.

The translator the hotel owner found for them was a student studying metallurgical technology in the Soviet Union. He was in his early twenties. He was sent to the Soviet Union by the Ministry of Metallurgy to study related technologies after graduating from a domestic university with a relevant major.

The college student’s name is Liu Min.

At that time, only wealthy people could go to college or even study abroad in the Soviet Union. If their families didn’t have any assets, they probably wouldn’t even be able to go to high school.

The Liu family is also a well-off family.

He took this job not just to make money, but also to increase his experience.

and so.

He doesn't have too many taboos when speaking. He basically tells the truth and says what he wants.

Liu Min took the two of them around.

Something happened when the three of them saw a watch on the counter of a department store.

One of the watches was exactly the same as the one the two Su people asked him to buy last time, but the price was much cheaper.

Chen Xuehu realized that the last time the two of them helped him buy a watch, they made money, and they made a lot of money.

The retail price of Su Guo watches in China is more than 2 million yuan, but buying them in Su Guo only costs the equivalent of several hundred thousand yuan, most of which is shipping and customs duties.

Tariffs are very high, starting at 30 to 40 percent, and can even reach 80 to 90 percent for items that are almost considered luxury goods like watches.

All in all.

The gross profit of a watch is more than double, and the profit is considerable even after deducting shipping costs.

Chen Xuehu was moved, so he discussed with He Yongqiang not to go to the two Su people at all. They could handle the matter themselves. The cash in their hands was exchanged for watches. If they took it back, they would definitely make a lot of money. Pen.

He Yongqiang is thinking about it.

The two Su people said that someone had paid for his travel expenses. Now he had three million yuan in hand. If he bought all the money and sold it back as watches, he might get six to seven million yuan.

After deducting the cost, it can earn almost 5 million yuan.

The tavern can't make so much money in half a year!

He Yongqiang agreed and urged him to buy a watch and go back.

He was looking forward to the admiring looks that Old Man He, his wife, and even Xu Huizhi would look at him after he made a fortune.

Liu Min didn't understand the situation very well. He thought that Chen Xuehu and the two had already reached an agreement with Vladimir and were going to regret it now, so he persuaded them to be honest and since they had agreed, they should keep their promises.

The trade between the two countries is easy to do. Even if they buy it back at a high price, they will still make a profit. If they are still doing business with old acquaintances, those two people will definitely help them and let others go through all the procedures. Once that's done, they can just wait and make money. Isn't that good?

As a translator, Liu Min may have said a bit too much.

But as a Chinese, he must say a few words. Although they are all in the same camp as Guo Jia, it is very troublesome to do import and export trade, and there are many procedures to go through.

in particular.

The two of them were unfamiliar with each other and didn't speak Russian yet. Even Chen Xuehu was only here for the second time.

As the saying goes, every line is like a mountain. How can they guarantee that the quality of the things they buy will be up to standard?

Don’t just look at the price when buying and selling goods!

Liu Min said this.

Chen Xuehu and the two felt a little unhappy.

They should have been tricked by Vladimir and those two Soviets, right?

On the surface, the two of them seemed to have agreed to Liu Min, saying that in this case they would not purchase the goods themselves.

He turned around and dismissed Liu Min, saying that they no longer planned to transfer to Mosi Branch, and asked two Su people to help him buy a few watches before returning home.

Liu Min nodded and said nothing more.

The next day, Chen Xuehu asked the hotel owner to find a translator for them, and also introduced a man in the watch business as a middleman.

The middleman found them a batch of cheap watches, saying that there was no middleman to make the difference and they got the goods directly from the watch factory.

There were more than a hundred watches of various brands, but Chen Xuehu and the other two couldn't understand them, and thought they were all products of the same factory.

From Chen Xuehu's point of view, the watches are all new, so there should be no problem.

They generously gave the rubles they exchanged for thousands of dollars to the middleman.

The more you buy, the more you earn.

result.

They took out almost all the money they had.

Chen Xuehu only had thirty or forty yuan left in his hand, and He Yongqiang was even more greedy. He only had a few dozen yuan left in his hand, and he was determined to rely on two Su people for food, drink, and travel expenses in the future.

Vladimir and Yelina were not allowed to participate in this kind of business. Naturally, they could not trouble others when going through the procedures. Under the guidance of a translator, Chen Xuehu and the two went to the relevant departments of Suzhou's foreign trade management.

result.

A problem was discovered while inspecting the goods.

The watches they bought were stolen goods. The reason why the incident came to light was because these watches were not from the same factory at all. They were very mixed. Although they were wiped clean, if you look closely, you will find that they are not new.

What's more important is that two of the watches were engraved with two names. When they asked the police department, they learned that the two watches were actually lost items. The owner had reported the case and there was a record.

The relevant departments handed it over to the police for strict investigation and confiscated the lost items.

The two guys were held at the police station for more than a week assisting the investigation and were questioned every day.

In the end, Vladimir went to the police station to explain the situation and got the two out.

The middleman may have gotten the benefit and ran away long ago, never to be seen again.

The translator was still there, but he knew nothing about theft or fraud. He said that the middleman found him on his own initiative. He was told that if any Chinese people bought watches, he would introduce them to the middleman.

After doing this business, the middleman gave the translator a 100-ruble commission.

According to the exchange rate at that time.

Ten thousand yuan is roughly equivalent to 1.6 rubles.
