"Old Shi, Lafarge of France, Holderbank of Switzerland, Heidelberg of Germany, and European cement of Eastern Europe have all replied to us. They have all agreed to our Far Eastern construction as their exclusive agent in the Far East. But they all have rules about our annual order quantity.”
"How much is it?"
"Lafarge has 10 million tons, Holderbank has the same amount, Heidelberg has 8 million tons, and Europe only has a minimum requirement of 5 million tons.”Sophia said as she flipped through the phone records.
"That's 33 million tons.”
Liu Jun thought that he could export the goods to Southeast Asia and Japan in the first three years. After three years, Xiang Xiang probably wouldn't be able to digest the amount.
This kind of exclusive agency contract not only had a quantity requirement, but it also had a term requirement. Basically, it would take three to five years to sign. If the quantity did not meet the requirement, they would have to pay compensation.
If the quantity was too large?
They might kick you out when the time limit is up and come to develop the market themselves.
The real estate market in Xiang Lane was not very popular at the moment. This was because they were worried that the mainland would attack. Most of the rich people treated this place as a transit station. If the situation was not right, they could carry their burdens and rush to the next stop at any time.
In the year 53, the armistice agreement would be signed and the situation would stabilize. By then, the real estate in Xiang Lane would be in full swing.
Liu Jun's plan was to first sign an exclusive agency contract to monopolize the cement import and export business in Xiang Lane, and then use two years to develop his own cement factory.
As for where to build the cement factory, Fragrant Alley was impossible. The limestone here was almost extinct. How could they build a cement factory without limestone? Could it be that limestone was purchased from the mainland?
The only places that were suitable for Liu Jun were Mudian, Muguo, and Australia. The other places were too far away from Xiang Xiang, and the logistics cost was a problem.
"Sophia, write back to them. We'll agree to their request. Also, urge them to sign the exclusive contract as soon as possible. After the contract was signed, he would transfer the deposit over.”
"Alright, I'll do it now."
"Okay, go ahead." Liu Jun raised his head and said, then grabbed the phone on the table." Hello, help me connect to Heavenly Water Hall... Fang Long, have you booked the restaurant... Okay, you'll attend with me tonight."
What's there to panic about? I've already settled the matter. Tonight is to let you get to know the two of them so that you won't be confused about who to give the money to in the future. Just say it like that. Dress up properly and don't be rude.”
……
Sublimotion Restaurant was the highest-end Western restaurant in Xiang Alley.
In this era, the minimum per person expenditure was 200 Hong Kong dollars. A casual meal cost six to seven hundred yuan. For the people of Xiang Xiang, who bought a roast goose for four yuan and were very extravagant and prodigal, the high consumption here was unimaginable.
"Sir Galen, Colonel Walter, this is the Van Loon I want to introduce to you. He will be in charge of shipping goods at sea in the future. He will also be responsible for sending your dividends to you.”
In a corner of the restaurant, Liu Jun was introducing Van Loon to Galen Dante from the customs and Colonel Walter Barton, who was in charge of patrolling the sea.
Galen and Walter only glanced at Fang Long before withdrawing their gazes and continuing to look at Liu Jun's face.
"Mister Liu, since he is your man, of course I trust him. However, I can't guarantee the safety of your boat. You know that there are factions in the army. Not every subordinate will be on my side.”Walter said.
"Walter, I've already found two chefs from France. They were poached from the best restaurants. They served Charles de Gaulle back then, and even he praised them. I don't think I need to tell you how terrible the food in your Eagle Country is. I believe your soldiers will be satisfied with the French cooks.
As for those with rings on their shoulders, I can provide them with whatever they want, be it a farm in the countryside, a horse farm, or a high-end apartment in London. I believe that they will be very satisfied with my gift.”
Liu Jun raised his glass and took a sip of wine.
"Mister Liu, you should know that I'm not just doing this for money.”Walter frowned." Although money is good, I'd rather the circle on my shoulder become a flower."”
"Of course, Colonel Walter. In less than half a year, I'll arrange a meeting with Mr. Brown for you. It's up to you whether you can make Mr. Brown treat you differently.”
"Bu Lang? Andrew Brown?" Walter widened his eyes and said in surprise.
"Of course, who else could it be?" Liu Jun shrugged his shoulders and said,"Do you think I'll arrange for you to meet with Raymond?"”
"Liu, this joke is not funny.”
Walter said with a smile. At this moment, he was in a very happy mood. As long as he could meet Marshal Bu Lang, he believed that with his past performance and his clever mouth, he would definitely be able to turn the " colonel " into a " general."
"Liu, you can transport anything, but don't touch weapons.”Galen Dante said.
"Ha, Galen, the profit from weapons isn't high. I might as well transport a few more pieces of black iron sheet and a few more boxes of sulfuric acid to transport weapons.”
"That's good. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself to the higher-ups.”
"Galen, don't worry. Come... drink. I went through a lot to get this from Paris. There are only a few bottles left in the White Horse Winery, and I've bought them all. It's at least fifty pounds per sip."
"Oh, really? Then I'll have to taste it." Galen Dante raised his glass and stared at the red liquid in it. He took a sip and praised,""As expected of a winery that has stood for 300 years.”
Fang Long, who was sitting there, looked at Liu Jun and the two big shots from Eagle Country chatting and laughing. He even had the upper hand. Once again, he was determined to follow Liu Jun for the rest of his life.
