Chapter 753
Yin Limin wanted to haggle with Gogol. Even if he gave him a 1:1 ratio, it would be more cost-effective than taking him back to Guanshan Town.
Unfortunately, Gogol was not a fool. Even if Yin Limin talked his mouth off, he did not want these low-count cotton cloths.
In the end, the two of them parted unhappily, both of them were angry.
Especially Gogol. He did not expect that the transactions with Yin Limin would not go smoothly.
This made him miss the cooperation with Meng Haisheng even more.
Although the ratio given by Meng Haisheng was very high, the quality of the goods he brought out was very good.
In the end, there would be no such thing as haggling.
Thinking of this, Gogol immediately sent someone to contact Meng Haisheng.
He needed a lot of food, cotton cloth, and cotton. He could negotiate the price given by Meng Haisheng.
Unfortunately, the person Gogol sent to contact Meng Haisheng brought him back bad news.
"Boss, Ivan said Meng Haisheng contacted Prida and brought people to trade goods a few days ago. He is not in Guanshan Town for the time being."
"Vladimir is trying to pry our suppliers."
"There is no way. Many areas are short of food. I heard that Meng Haisheng has recently contacted a small steel plant next to Guanshan Town to help him process iron ore. This is true. I am afraid that Meng Haisheng is not in such urgent need of steel."
"Meng Haisheng is really capable. He can even get iron ore?"
Gogol looked serious.
The reason why steel is in short supply in China is not because of poor ironmaking technology, but because of insufficient iron ore output.
If Meng Haisheng can get iron ore, the price of his own steel will be cheaper.
Gogol had to re-examine his cooperation with Meng Haisheng.
If he does not quickly exchange goods while Meng Haisheng is short of steel, he is really afraid that Meng Haisheng will raise the price this winter.
"You keep an eye on Meng Haisheng. As soon as he returns to Guanshan Town, immediately arrange a meeting with him."
"Okay, I'll go now."
While Gogol was busy looking for Meng Haisheng, Yin Limin was reflecting on himself.
He was a little confused by the issue of exchanging grain for steel, and the decisions he made were basically at a low IQ.
"Li Feng, contact Guanshan Town now to see if you can find a way to deal with the cotton cloth we brought over."
"Boss, what's the price?"
"Sell it for money. When it's time to cut the meat, you can't be soft-hearted. The longer I delay, the more I lose."
Yin Limin was right. He rented the train car. He had to pay one day's rent for one day's use.
And it's not easy to find a warehouse to unload so much cloth.
Guanshan Town is just a small border town. The warehouse here is OK for storing wood, but if it's for storing relatively clean cloth and cotton, forget it.
If the cloth is dirty, it's worthless.
As happy as Yin Limin was when the cloth was delivered to Guanshan Town, he was now as angry as ever.
100 tons of cloth, he almost lost all of it.
Three days later, Li Feng finally contacted a businessman who could buy all the cloth.
But the price was pushed down to the floor.
12-count cotton cloth costs at least 3 or 4 yuan per meter on the market, and Yin Limin finally sold it for 80 cents per meter.
Even so, he did not hesitate to make the move.
He could invest the money he got back in other industries, which was better than keeping it in cotton cloth.
What Yin Limin didn't know was that the person who took his cotton cloth was none other than Yan Jingye, a local tyrant whom Meng Haisheng met in Guanshan Town.
When Meng Haisheng first came to Guanshan Town, he wanted to find a local to cooperate with. Later, he met Yan Jingye, and the two got along well. He would cooperate with him on some businesses.
Before going to Prida, Meng Haisheng had already told Yan Jingye to take over the cotton cloth from Yin Limin.
Even the price, storage warehouse, and how to sell it were all thought out by Meng Haisheng.
As for the payment, the two of them each contributed half, which was also considered a cooperative relationship.
Guanshan Town could not afford so much cotton cloth, but there were many villages and towns around.
Yan Jingye sent all his brothers out to sell cotton cloth.
In winter, every household would buy one or two winter quilts for their homes, and 12-count cotton cloth was just right for the lining.
If you don't mind the color, you can even make the back.
Some of Yan Jingye's subordinates were smart and took cotton cloth to exchange supplies with people in the village of Tukum.
Although they couldn't make clothes, there was no problem with bedding. Although they wanted less, they couldn't stop the large number of people.
In Yin Limin's eyes, the cotton cloth, which was like a hot yam, became a scarce commodity in the hands of Yan Jingye's brothers.
One of them, who often did small business with Tukum, actually exchanged cotton cloth for a blond and blue-eyed Tukum beauty wife.
The girl's family was poor and she couldn't even afford to eat in Tukum.Almost starved to death, seeing the young man coming to sell cotton cloth, he followed him back to Guanshan Town.
They were both selling cotton cloth, but he could bring back a wife. For a while, Yan Jingye's younger brothers were like chicken blood, carrying cloth everywhere to sell.
If they could also bring back a wife, they would make a fortune.
Meng Haisheng was not in Guanshan Town, but he influenced many things in Guanshan Town.
After walking here for a day, Meng Haisheng and his people finally saw a small village in the distance.
"We will trade goods in Mula today, stay here for one night, and return early tomorrow morning."
Ren Heming raised the whip in his hand. The sun was already setting, and only a trace of light was left in the sky.
Fortunately, they kept walking all the way. If they were slower, they would probably reach Mula Village at night today.
The village looked like there were only a few dozen households. In the evening, the chimneys of each household were emitting smoke.
The guide came to the gate of a courtyard with familiarity and knocked on the door.
The wooden door creaked open.
"Song, I thought you were not coming."
"We met a wolf pack on the way and were delayed for a while."
The door was completely opened, and the man who opened the door let Meng Haisheng and his party into the house.
The house was not small, and Meng Haisheng and his party sat down in the living room at two tables.
The hostess of the house brought a pot of tea to everyone and a large pot of hot boiled mutton.
Vladimir warmly entertained Meng Haisheng and his party to have dinner first, and as for the exchange of items, he would talk about it after dinner.
Vladimir was so enthusiastic that he left a good impression on Meng Haisheng.
He likes to cooperate with people with the same aura. If the aura is not in harmony from the beginning, it will be difficult to cooperate for a long time.
After dinner, someone took others to rest, and Meng Haisheng and Lin Jinyan were invited to the inner room to talk.
When talking about weapons, Meng Haisheng could only listen, as he was not particularly familiar with the price.
Vladimir and Lin Jinyan were the ones who talked almost the entire time.
The two talked for more than an hour before they finally agreed on the price of weapons in exchange for food, cloth and cotton.
Meng Haisheng drafted a simple transaction contract for the two.
"Mr. Vladimir, where should we choose for the transaction?"
