Qin Shujie said in a serious tone:

"I never do any fraud in my business. These equipment are 90% new and second-hand, and the manufacturing date is basically about two years ago.

The functions and usage are the same as the brand new equipment ordered.

But compared with brand-new machines, the price is 20 to 30% lower, and the production cycle is shorter than a few months or even a year, so you can directly pick up the goods!"

"Thank you! Thank you for your honesty. We have always trusted you! It's 90% new and it's so much cheaper. It's a great deal."

In order to prove that he didn't mind second-hand goods at all, Qin Kunlun thought for a while and said:

“Our ‘Dongfanghong Cloth Factory’ still uses Soviet equipment from 20 to 30 years ago! It is said that those equipment were second-hand goods from that time.”

"Don't worry, I have personally inspected too many manufacturers and can guarantee that these are the most advanced textile, spinning and knitting equipment in the world today.

And these equipment are currently in use, I can ensure the performance and quality of each machine and will not cause the country to suffer."

Qin Shujie did not lie. Those capitalists did not stop production at all, but the profits were getting smaller and smaller, making it less and less cost-effective.

After thinking about it, it is better to package and sell the equipment and get hundreds or tens of millions of dollars at once. Otherwise, I will not be able to make back the money from selling the equipment for more than ten or twenty years.

This is still based on current wages and tax estimates.

American workers are quite awesome. They like to work less and get more money, and they don’t want to work overtime. Once they get into trouble, it can get serious!

Often when trouble occurs, capitalists have to increase money or reduce labor intensity and working hours.

If there are several more organized strikes and the labor unions come forward to conduct labor negotiations, the factory will be even less profitable. It is unclear whether it will maintain capital and it will be impossible to recover its investment.

Therefore, everything must be divided into two parts.

The existence of organizations like trade unions is not necessarily a positive thing.

Looking at the performance of trade unions in many Western countries, you will find that so-called industrial unions have begun to restrict competition, affect the development of productivity, and even fight against the government.

Huang Han is approaching his forties and finally understands that not everything is right or wrong, it all depends on your standpoint.

For example, in July and August 2020, the Korean Medical Workers Union launched a strike to prevent the government from expanding the enrollment ratio of medical schools.

Is what they did right or wrong?

From the perspective of current Korean medical workers, this is definitely true! Massive enrollment expansion will lead to fierce competition and reduced income, so they must step out to protect their own interests.

From the perspective of ordinary people, and if no one in the family does medical work, they would definitely oppose it!

Damn it, the average income of doctors has reached three or four times the salary standard for ordinary jobs, why are you still making trouble?

It is difficult and expensive for us to see a doctor because there are few doctors. It is a great thing for the government to increase the number of students admitted to medical schools!

Haha! This is where your stance determines who you support. What you support is just your support? It’s not necessarily right!

What you defend is just your defense? It may not be just. Moreover, what exactly is justice? How many people can tell clearly!

The boss of the capital originally wanted to wait for the price and try to sell the equipment at a good price, but unexpectedly it backfired? Suddenly the booming stock market crashed.

The sudden stock market crash caused huge panic? I kept hearing that a certain millionaire had a mental breakdown and committed suicide by jumping off a building.

When the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, things will harm their own kind? It is definitely not possible to sell while waiting for the price. The best way is to sell quickly and get cash.

Price reduction? First price reduction!

Aren’t capitalists going to lose money to death?

No? It is possible to lose some money, but you will definitely not die!

Most of the textile machines in the United States come from Germany and Japan. The ones Qin Shujie likes are basically ones that have been used for about one or two years.

From the signing of the "Plaza Accord" at the end of September 1985 to October 1987, it was only two years? The US dollar depreciated by more than 40% against the Japanese yen and the German mark.

It can be seen from this that American capitalists can reduce the price by 40 to 50% when selling second-hand equipment without losing money? Because calculating the time, they should buy the equipment during the last period of time when the US dollar is strong.

Besides, after working for a year or two, these equipment will always generate some profits.

Qin Shujie holds the cash in hand and has the right to speak, lowering prices and doing her best to suppress them? It would be great if she could suppress the American capitalists until they vomit blood!

They didn't vomit blood, they only vomited a profit of 20 to 30% compared to their purchase price at that time.

This means that Qin Shujie bought the equipment for less than 40% of the current price.

But what's new here? International settlement is in U.S. dollars, and the Japanese yen and German mark have risen by more than 40% relative to the U.S. dollar.

Just comparing 1986 to 1987? The increase was 15%.

Since Sanshui County started asking for prices at the end of 1986, it can be concluded that importing new equipment from these two countries means that it will have to bear a 15% price increase.

This shows how cost-effective it is to wait until the stock market crash creates panic to buy second-hand equipment? It is equivalent to using one dollar as three dollars.

Qin Shujie often thought of Huang Han when negotiating with capitalists.

Why! What a wonderful operation! A perfect plan step by step? The capitalist, who was in desperate need of cash, almost cried during the negotiation and complained that Qin Shujie was adding insult to injury.

No! If you don’t want to talk, we’ll see each other again. Secretary, call the next person in to continue talking!

Aren't you a cow? Do you want to leave as soon as you want? It's easy to leave, but you won't be given away!

Americans are the least concerned about face and the most interested in interests. They can change their faces for the sake of interests faster than Sichuan Opera.

Seeing that Qin Shujie was unmoved, she immediately changed her face and continued to cry and ask for a little increase in price!

All in all, Qin Shujie's acquisition only has one word: "It's so cool!" If it had three words, it would definitely be "It's so cool!"

What can those bosses do if they know that Qin Shujie is here to take advantage?

Seeing more and more bankrupt companies and manufacturers, banks also need to break their arms to survive.

Americans are accustomed to working hard to make ends meet. There is no company that does not borrow money from banks. When the time comes when a friend who is a good friend is not a good friend, the bank will definitely turn its back on the person.

If your factory is closed down by the bank, you will have no place to cry!

They were in desperate need of a lot of cash and had to keep their heads down.

It only lasted three days. The lawyer drafted the relevant documents, and both parties signed and shook hands to seal the deal. It was a matter of willingness to fight and not to mention who lost.

After roughly hearing the amount of equipment Qin Shujie was about to deliver, Qin Kunlun felt his throat go dry at this moment.

According to the market price at this time, the equipment is worth close to 100 million U.S. dollars. In the past two years, the entire northern Jiangsu and even the entire southern Jiangsu Province have not received so much foreign investment!

The old chief will arrive in July next year. If I can negotiate such a large joint venture project this time, I should be able to live up to my trust and be able to submit a satisfactory report card.

As for the fact that the equipment is not brand new at all, Qin Kunlun doesn't care. We Chinese are best at being thrifty, as long as the equipment does not affect its use and is cheap.

Second-hand equipment does not mean that the products produced are also second-hand. As long as the product is good, it is a big advantage!

He said: "Thank you! Thank you so much! I trust you and know that you have a Chinese heart and will not deceive the motherland with fake products."

"Giggle..." Qin Shujie on the other end smiled and bent down, she said: "I am the investor and I am the absolute controlling shareholder. If the equipment is not good and affects the production, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"

"Yes, yes! That's the truth."

"I am also planning to invest at least 10 million US dollars to set up a clothing company, and plan to build the main factory in the Sanshui County Economic Development Zone!"

"Welcome, warm welcome!"

"This clothing company is a French brand. Is it difficult for me to request full ownership?"

"It should be no problem. I will go to the province to ask for instructions today!"

There are currently no enterprises in Sanshui County that are all controlled by foreign capital, but Qin Kunlun did not dare to say no at this time.

He believes that with more than $90 million worth of equipment coming in, the province will be able to approve the company.

Qin Shujie said: "Then let's talk after you ask for instructions!"

"Can you please give me an accurate answer? If I report to the provincial leaders and get approval, you will not invest because of unexpected circumstances. I will not be able to explain it!"

"Don't worry, I will keep my word. This is not the first time we have cooperated."

"Then when will you come?"

"In half a month, I hope you will be ready by then."

"No problem! I can guarantee it."

"Then I'll hang up the phone. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

After putting down the phone, Qin Kunlun rubbed his hands in excitement, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu!"

Secretary Liu Chenglin immediately trotted in. "Inform the senior cadres at home, including the deputy director and above, to go to the small conference room for a meeting immediately!"

"What content?"

"As for the joint venture, our county is expected to receive advanced textile equipment worth US$100 million!"

"Ah? So many?" Liu Chenglin was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

An hour later, in the small meeting room of the county party committee, a dozen leaders were glowing, "My dear, with an investment worth 100 million US dollars, I can knock Taizhou out of the sky!"

It didn't take long for everyone to discuss and reach a consensus. The policy must be adequate, and the capital must not be allowed to back down because of our problems.

Qin Kunlun, Song Jiefang, Chen Yihua and others decided to immediately go to the province to communicate and get a clear answer.

At this time, the calm Qin Shujie was already signing a contract with a German agent.
