Chapter 248 Are you teaching me how to do something?
"Mr. Lei has a big appetite.
So what do you think? Tell me."
I took a sip of the wine and was surprised that it smelled very strong, but tasted not as strong as I thought.
On the contrary, various flavors continue to emerge on the taste buds in the middle and later stages.
This wine must be expensive, Fang Xiang couldn't help but sigh.
It's nice to have money.
“To be honest, I made some inquiries.
Today, car sales in Southeast Asia are not optimistic.
Although I don’t know how much profit your car, Mr. Fang, can make at the moment.
But the upper limit is here.
Even if the profits are high, they are limited.
Moreover, if I am not mistaken, Mr. Fang probably hopes to reap the benefits without any further ado.
Not only do I have to do all the dirty and tiring work, but I also don't get the lion's share of the profits.
If you calculate it this way, a 30-70 split is really a little unreasonable."
Lei Luo took a puff of his cigar, exhaled a large cloud of smoke, and then expressed his opinion.
"and then?"
Fang Xiang took another sip of wine and looked at the smile on Lei Luo's face.
But there was no smile in his eyes.
I know Lei Luo has his own ideas.
Moreover, it is possible that this matter will be full of twists and turns.
“It’s still 30-70!
But this time it's me seven and you three."
After Lei Luo finished speaking, the smile on his face became even more intense, but Fang Xiang could see the nervousness in his eyes.
"Mr. Lei's appetite is indeed huge."
Fang Xiang didn't feel surprised at all after hearing this.
Business is nothing more than you negotiating and me discussing, you pushing and I giving in.
Lei Luo's high request shows that he still really wants to do this business.
It's nothing more than being dissatisfied with the profits, or wanting to achieve other goals by asking for a higher price.
“As I said just now, I can do all the dirty and hard work.
Mr. Fang just needs to sit back and enjoy the results.
Then it would be reasonable for me to take a little more.
I wonder what Mr. Fang thinks?"
Lei Luo twisted his body and found a more comfortable position.
“It’s understandable that Mr. Lei wants to make more money.
However, Mr. Lei should understand that my focus is not on the profit from the car.
But machine tools, machinery, equipment, materials and other things we need.
This is the big head.
Besides, Mr. Lei, do you understand who you are negotiating business with?"
Fang Xiang put down his wine glass. Unexpectedly, the wine tasted good but it was a bit intoxicating.
It seems that we should never drink too much at any time.
Then, he looked at Lei Luo with a playful expression.
"this...
Of course I know."
Lei Luo paused and his eyes widened involuntarily.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.
“Now that you know who you are doing business with, have you made the corresponding preparations?”
Fang Xiang picked up the half-burned cigarette and took a puff.
Looking at Lei Luo, he asked with a smile.
"Mr. Fang, why don't you speak frankly?"
Lei Luo narrowed his eyes and his body became much tenser.
“Most of those are things that are not visible to the public.
We need reliable people, reliable routes, and reliable sellers.
And, you are reliable.
If Mr. Lei had the corresponding preparation and determination.
It won't be long before 500 million will be a thing of the past for you."
Fang Xiang took another puff of his cigarette and then put out the butt in the crystal ashtray.
He stretched out a finger and waved it in front of his face.
"Mr. Fang, to be honest, the foreigners have already guessed what we are going to do.
They even specifically beat me up for this.”
Lei Luo took a long breath and put the cigar on the ashtray.
Then he sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Fang Xiang seriously.
"and then?"
Fang Xiang still looked normal.
Anyone who is attentive will definitely be able to see something about this matter.
Moreover, whether it is Howard or Lei Luo.
Such a large-scale smuggling, happening right under the nose of Hong Kong Island, would definitely not be concealed.
Even if it cannot be discovered for a while, as time goes by and the scale becomes larger, the number of times it will be discovered will increase.
It can't be hidden at all.
Rather than being passive later, it is better to drag those people into the water in advance.
This was something Fang Xiang had thought about before.
However, Fang Xiang felt that he had no say on how to drag others into the water and how to distribute the benefits.
I had originally planned to make a decision on these matters after returning and communicating with the relevant people.
Unexpectedly, Lei Luo brought this matter to the table in advance.
"They want to get involved."
Lei Luo's upper body leaned forward again, and his voice became much deeper.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Fang Xiang.
"Then give it to them. Do you even need to ask me?"
Fang wanted to laugh. He was worried before, but now people’s hands were reaching to his face.
Wouldn't that save me a lot of trouble?
"They have bigger appetites than me..."
Unexpectedly, Lei Luo immediately leaned back heavily.
The voice also sounded a little tired.
"How much?"
Fang wanted to curl his lips, "Money can move people's hearts," this saying has been around since ancient times.
What do those foreigners want when they come to Hong Kong Island? Isn’t it just money?
Today, Hong Kong Island is still a poor place and has just started to develop, far from reaching the status of Asia's financial center in the future.
The benefits that those foreigners can gain here are pitifully small.
I had originally wanted to share a large portion of the profits with them to drag them into this.
Now they have stuck their heads out on their own, which not only saves trouble but also worries.
As long as it wasn't too much, Fang Xiang wanted to feed them well.
“They want half!
In other words, of the 70% I'm going to take, 50% is for them.
I can only fall behind by 20%. "
After saying this, Lei Luo let out a long sigh.
He looked deflated.
However, Fang Xiang noticed that a hint of greed flashed across Lei Luo's eyes.
“Well, I’ll take a step back.
4:6, I have 4 and you have 6.
I don't care how you divide your 60%.
But I'm going to bring one more person in.
The extra 10% is for him."
Fang Xiang thought about it and felt that Lei Luo might not be trustworthy.
Although doing business is just about asking for a high price and paying the low price.
But compared with advanced machine tools, equipment and materials.
It is a bit too petty to repeatedly dwell on these petty gains.
What is important is to be able to make this deal and to have a stable and reliable volume of smuggling trade.
There is a huge shortage of these machine tools in China.
There is nothing wrong with giving up some of the benefits.
As long as sales increase and costs decrease in the later stage, this part of the profit can still be recovered.
The country can also provide more jobs and a large amount of tax revenue.
This is the big head.
Fang Xiang quickly figured out the key point.
However, he did not satisfy Lei Luo's appetite indefinitely, but instead made another request.
“Four or six?
Pull another person? Who is it? "
A hint of joy flashed across Lei Luo's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
Then he asked about Fang's idea of adding another person.
“The Bao family.
They are in the shipping business.
Our business must be carried out by shipping.
It is also important to have a stable and reliable shipping partner.
The extra 10% I asked for was left for him.
Of course, I still need Mr. Lei to introduce this person to me."
Fang Xiang didn't intend to hide it. There was no point in hiding this matter from others.
It’s worth recalling that it took the Bao family only twenty years to become the world’s shipping king.
That must be a person with extraordinary abilities.
Rather than looking for other unfamiliar people, it is better to look for the descendants of Bao Zheng.
"The Bao family? They are just minions.
There is no need to leave them 10% of the profit.
Mr. Fang thinks too highly of them."
Unexpectedly, Lei Luo immediately raised objections.
"Are you teaching me what to do?"
When Fang Xiang heard this, he was very dissatisfied and spoke slowly to Lei Luo.
