Warehouse?
On the way home, Fang Jian rubbed his chin and felt a headache.
He originally planned to rent a warehouse in the suburbs.
Then, he transferred the things in the storage space over.
But on second thought, he knew that he had been negligent.
In China, renting a few warehouses and storing 5000 tons of goods for a month did not cost much.
Compared to the total amount of this transaction, it was just a fraction.
However, if someone wanted to inquire about where these goods came from?
Fang Jian believed that with the capabilities of certain departments, it would be extremely easy to investigate this.
Sigh, it seemed like he still had to make a hard trip.
When he returned home at night, Fang Jian began to contact the ocean-going freighter.
He had worked in Mary for so many years, so at least he had some connections.
Abidjian in West Africa was a famous port city and the original capital of Cote d'Ivoire.
The population of Abidjanis accounted for more than one-fifth of the country's population. It was not only the political, economic, and cultural center of Ivory Coast, but also a transit port for goods from neighboring countries.
Today, the annual handling capacity of Abidjian Port has exceeded 10 million tons, especially container handling, ranking first in West Africa. export coffee, cocoa, bananas, wood and mineral products; Oil, food, general merchandise, machinery, etc.
Fang Jian contacted an old friend of his, Babli, who was in Malaysia.
He was a local of Malaysia who was in the foreign trade business. Gold was only a small part of his business.
Fang Jian's request was to help him contact a 10,000-ton ocean-going oil tank and order 5000 tons of cement from Abidjian to be shipped to Zhoushan Port in China.
The reason why they wanted a 10,000-ton freighter was because shipping freighters were different from warships.
A cargo ship that really ran long-distance sea transportation was at least 10,000 tons.
When he heard this request, the person opposite him was clearly a little confused.
? cement?
Wasn't this thing sold everywhere? Why did they have to travel thousands of miles from West Africa to Asia?
The transportation cost was probably more expensive than the purchase cost, and it was much more expensive.
However, this was a request from a good friend who had worked with him for many years. Moreover, the other party was very quick to transfer the money, so Babri immediately agreed.
For laymen, it was very difficult to buy 5000 tons of goods and ship them.
However, for people who were proficient in the foreign trade industry, this was only a small order.
In terms of quantity, the order was not small, but in terms of value…
It was really a small order.
Those who worked at the port had probably never seen such a small order.
It usually took about 35 days to travel from West Africa to Zhoushan. Since Fang Jian had entrusted this matter to him, he did not take it to heart for the time being.
…………
…………
Five days later, a batch of containers arrived at the port of Abidjian.
When the port staff saw the form, their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Are the people of the Dragon Country crazy? Why are they buying cement?"
"Yeah, how much is this cement? The transportation fee was several times, no, dozens of times more expensive than the goods themselves.”
The customs officers looked at each other and felt that there was something fishy about it.
Generally speaking, even if cement was transported by freighters, it would only be transported in bulk, and it would be transported in the river.
They traveled thousands of miles to send some very common cement from West Africa to the Dragon Country.
Anyone who saw it would think that something was wrong.
Moreover, the transportation requirements of this batch of goods were extremely special.
It was understandable to put the cement bags into the containers, but each container was not full. Instead, more than half of the empty space was left.
This was no longer just a matter of wasting money.
Therefore, the customs officers carried out a vigorous inspection and testing.
All the containers were opened, but all the goods in the bags were tested and proved to be cement.
After three days of delay, the officials at the port of Abidjian let them pass unhappily.
They had no choice because they had gone through the most rigorous tests and came to the conclusion that…
These goods were all cement.
It was the most common kind of cement that cost a few hundred RMB per ton.
They couldn't find anything other than cement inside.
Therefore, their final conclusion was…
Damn it, the people of the Dragon Country were too rich and wasteful.
The brains of rich people were different from ordinary people.
