Chapter 99: One Train Ten Million
At around 2 pm the next day, Zhou Ming brought Du Peng, Su Han and Li Chengtong to the cafe of Hotel No. 1. They had already made an appointment with Zhang Hui. Zhang Hui would bring Eugenes to the appointment and talk to them about railway procedures.
"Don't worry, Manager Su, this time we shipped goods to help this country get through the difficulties. Consul Zhang also contacted the Mlin. There would definitely be no problem. I also believe that the Northern Russians are very generous and will not care about trivial matters. Maybe Mr. Eugene, he has long forgotten that matter, maybe, Miss Karelina, you think so?"
Seeing that Su Han was still a little nervous and uneasy, Li Cheng advised Su Han a few words, and finally turned around and asked Karelina, which made Karelina nod in surprise: "That's right, it must be."
Since Karelina has always been very elegant and mature in front of them, seeing her distracted look, Li Cheng and Tong Gang are a little surprised.
Zhou Ming understood this a little, because when he and Su Han walked out of the room together and met Karelina in the living room, she was very strange. She blushed and lowered her head, and did not dare to look at Zhou Ming and Su Han, like a mistress who was caught by his wife. If Zhou Ming had not held Su Han's hand at this time, he would have thought he would have spent the night in Karelina's room.
In fact, compared to Karelina, Zhou Ming was a little guilty. He was not real wood, so how could he not feel Karelina's heart for him? But he never broke the window paper with her, and of course he didn't know how to break the window paper.
Now that I am so openly living with Su Han, I happened to be seen by her when I woke up in the morning, which really made Zhou Ming feel a little headache. God knows whether she will be angry. Last night, I was a little excited to meet Su Han for a long time again. I don’t know how the sound insulation effect of the room will affect her next door.
Perhaps it was not a problem to be the romantic and elegant Lu Xiaobu, but first of all, he had to have the ability to not touch the leaves of the flowers in China. Zhou Ming obviously did not, so he had no idea what to do. He knew very well and didn't know how to tell Karelina that although he was a reborn person, he really had no experience in dealing with women, and in the end he could only drag things here.
However, at this time, Su Han suddenly held Karelina's hand and said to her: "Dear Miss Karelina, today's affairs are very important to me and Zhou Ming. I know that your background is very noble and a very responsible girl. So I believe that you will be our translator today, right?"
Su Han's words surprised both Li Cheng and Tong Gang because she said it just right. Unexpectedly, the women around Zhou Ming were all very capable except being beautiful.
Needless to say, Lin Muqing in Hong Kong City, she is already the chairman of Hong Kong City United Investment Fund. Her strategic deployment of joint investment is that even people like Li Cheng and Tong Gang would have to nod, otherwise they would not be so relieved to hand over the company completely to her. However, she did not think that since she came out of China, the young Su Han is the same.
When Karelina heard this, she was stunned at first, then put away her confused and distracted appearance just now, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Manager Su, I'll definitely do it."
Karelina was also stimulated by Su Han because she had seen Su Han's excellent side and admitted the excellence of this woman, but her own pride and self-esteem did not allow herself to lose to Su Han.
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Hui led three northern Russians into the cafe. When he saw him coming in, Zhou Ming and Li Chengtong also stood up. Zhang Hui introduced them to each other, but in fact, Zhou Ming and others recognized them at a glance. There was no reason. Yesterday they heard about Mr. Eugenes' deeds from Du Peng and Su Han. Today, they saw the nouveau riche-like ring bracelet in his hand, which made people unable to recognize them.
Zhou Ming and Li Chengtong just said hello to Eugenes, and Eugenes also said: "Are these friends from China? Hello, I am Eugenes..."
Eugenes's words came to an abrupt end because he saw Du Peng and Su Han following Zhou Ming, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you guys also come here? It seems that this world is really small!"
Eugenes can speak Chinese. His Chinese is very poor, but it will definitely make people understand the meaning. Therefore, Du Peng could guess that some things could not be avoided, so he took the initiative to stand up and said to Eugenes: "Hello Mr. Eugenes, I'm glad to see you here."
"But I'm not very happy to see you."
Eugenes said directly without giving face, which made Zhou Ming and Li Chengtong sigh in their hearts. It seemed that this Siberian tycoon was really hard to serve.
However, Eugenes left without saying anything. He sat down and then greeted Zhou Ming and Zhang Hui, "Everyone is sitting down, why are you standing here? I heard your Consul Zhang say that you have something to discuss with me? What exactly is it?"
Li Cheng and Tong Gang looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, because although Eugenes had a little quirky personality, he still had some tricks. Just a word of style made him take the initiative. It seems that he really can't underestimate anyone. No matter what their personality is, it is impossible for him to reach a certain position without his own tricks.
"Of course, but although Mr. Eugenes can speak Chinese, he doesn't know much about our Chinese culture. For us, we usually have to let guests sit first, which makes it more polite."
While saying to Eugenes, Zhou Ming greeted Du Peng, Su Han and Li Chengtong, and just sat down. When facing Zhou Ming's words, Eugenes also looked at him with a high glance but did not speak.
After everyone sat down, Zhou Ming asked Karelina to greet coffee and snacks. Zhang Hui also said to Eugenes: "This is Mr. Eugenes. This Mr. Zhou Ming and Mr. Tong Gang and Mr. Li Cheng have a batch of goods that are eager to ship from China to Crisco. We know that Mr. Eugenes has a great say in Siberia, so we hope Mr. Eugenes can provide more help."
"I think it's something, it turns out to be that simple thing? This is easy to say. I am also a businessman. As long as you can give me enough benefits, everything can be negotiated!" Eugenes said very generously, but his next words were not so generous. He stretched out five fingers, "Let's do this, as long as you can pay me ten million US dollars for a train, the Siberian railway can be opened for you!"
Faced with Eugenes' request, Li Cheng and Tong Gang took a breath. Zhou Ming frowned and said, "Mr. Eugenes, we all sincerely want to do business here in Northern Russia. Please don't joke."
"Just kidding? Who is joking with you? How much money can you make on a whole train? What's so strange about me to draw 10 million from it?" Eugenes said for granted, but then he slapped his forehead, "But I seem to have forgotten to ask you, what business are you planning to do? If it's contraband, that's not possible. If it's a high-priced goods, the cost must be increased!"
This time, Su Han rushed to answer: "Mr. Eugenes is not high-priced items or contraband items, but just some of the most common daily necessities, such as clothes, shoes and socks."
Eugenes was stunned when she heard Su Han's answer, and then laughed: "I think it's something, it's just some of the most ordinary daily necessities. Do you have the nerve to transport it by railway? Do you have the nerve to find me? It seems that you Chinese have the only chance."
Eugenes said this and Zhou Ming quit: "It's wrong for Mr. Eugenes to say this. Now there is a shortage of basic daily necessities in Northern Russia. Even the most ordinary daily necessities have very good sales and huge profits. Eugenes is from Northern Russia and has been in Crisco for a while. I wonder if Mr. Eugenes has heard of the Chelf market?"
Eugenes asked, "I know Chelf Market, why is that the place for you guys?"
Zhou Ming nodded and replied: "Yes, now the Chelf Market has established a management company, which is jointly invested by us."
Eugenes laughed: "So that's it. I said that the place in the Chelf market that I've never heard of suddenly jumped up. It turned out that you are the ones who are behind the scenes. You only sell some daily necessities. You Chinese people have too shallow vision. What money can these things make? It's better to sell jewelry and antiques. You are not an ancient civilization in China, and there should be a lot of antiques!"
At this time, Zhang Hui had to remind Eugenes without saying a word and said, "Mr. Eugenes, smuggling antiques is an illegal act."
Eugenes nodded suddenly: "I forgot that Consul Zhang, you are still here. So, let's do it. We will definitely make a lot of money if we talk about it privately."
Zhou Ming said to Eugenes: "Mr. Eugenes, I don't think I need to talk about this matter privately, because now I just hope that Mr. Eugenes can relax the railway procedures and help us more."
"Mr. Zhou Ming, I don't understand. I didn't say I wouldn't help. As long as you give me 10 million yuan in tolls per train, I'll be happy to help." Eugenes said, "Of course I think you only do daily necessities business, and I'm afraid you can't afford the money. Then you shouldn't think about international trade anymore. I'm a financial tycoon and have no interest in cooperating with grocery shop owners."
Eugenes stood up as he said, swept the faces of Zhou Ming and Du Peng and Su Han with disdain, and finally said, "Of course, if you have anything else to cooperate with, I won't mind, but you, the Chinese slags, seem to be the only skill!"
