Chapter 344: Chapter 281: Turning Faces Faster Than Flipping a Book, The Agreement (Please Subscribe!)_2
Liu Qian looked at ’Brother Yuan’ who resembled a log, smiled slightly, and said: "The trip to the United States was great, let me tell you, the big farm we visited was super large, and we could go hunting, horse riding, fishing, etc. The landscape was clean and beautiful, very interesting. Next time, we should let Young Master Chai take us to play there."
Liu Qian hadn’t mentioned the dangers to Tang Kai, who assumed Liu Qian had a great time. But judging from the outcome, it was indeed a good time.
"That’s great! Thanks to Young Master Chai." Tang Kai raised his glass and laughed.
Chai Ren clinked glasses with Tang Kai, and said, "Not at all, we’re friends. I should be thanking you for lending me Brother Yuan."
"No problem. Didn’t Boss Liu already pay the fees? A solid four million RMB, just thinking about it hurts. As long as Boss Liu doesn’t blame me, that’s fine." Tang Kai didn’t think much about it and thought Chai Ren was being polite.
"Not at all. I proposed the fee and I think it’s very reasonable." Liu Qian hastily said.
"Haha, Boss Liu, then, I won’t be polite. Let’s toast to our happy cooperation again." Tang Kai didn’t bother inquiring why ’big spender’ Liu Qian thought 4 million RMB was inexpensive. Even if you have money, you can’t just throw it around like that.
"Happy cooperation. I really have to thank you again for letting us make easy money. By the way, Boss Tang, do you know if there are any specific requirements for the transaction method and currency this time, or how we can ensure we won’t lose out?" Liu Qian asked.
Speaking of business, Tang Kai’s expression became serious.
"Boss Liu, Young Master Chai, don’t worry about being at a loss. In past transactions, they would deliver the goods domestically, and payment would only be made after the value was verified. As for the transaction method, they will be responsible for shipping to the Thai border, and there will be proper business receipts at that time. As long as we pay a certain fee, all those things will become legal property―trust me. The backing forces for this type of business are very powerful. No one in Thailand dares to investigate these cargos for tax evasion or even legality, because they are the law."
"As for the transaction currency, I haven’t figured it out yet. But it wouldn’t matter because as long as there’s enough money, I’m sure the two of you will figure out a way to exchange it for any currency. If there are no channels on your side, I can act as a go-between." Tang Kai slowly explained.
Liu Qian didn’t understand, but Chai Ren had heard a little about it. Evidently, those doing this business are Thailand’s ’Tax Bureau’. Instead of trying to prevent smuggling, it’s better to open a door to do business. Everyone makes money, as long it’s not contraband it’s fine.
"Okay, the money on our side won’t be a problem, and the transaction time?" Chai Ren agreed.
"It’s estimated to be this week, payment is within three days after verifying the goods, so I suggest you be ready by Friday." Tang Kai said.
"Boss Tang, is there any problem with the other party’s identity? Is it stable internally?" Chai Ren asked about his main concern. It wasn’t about being deceived. Since the goods were received first, and payment was made later, and it was on Thailand’s territory, there wouldn’t be much of a problem. He was worried about other issues, such as the enemy knocking on the door, or internal interest disputes, etc. If they were caught in the crossfire, it wouldn’t be fun. He wasn’t afraid, but it would be troublesome for Tang Kai.
"Don’t worry, Young Master Chai. I had someone inquire into it. This time, that territory has been completely integrated. Those previous ’owners’ are all dead, without any survivors. There will be no ’owners’ who are still alive to come knocking, and I heard that it’s very stable internally, not like before with various ’village owners’." Tang Kai explained. This information had not been easy to get, but what Tang Kai didn’t know was that it was information that Tang Qing had let someone leak to him, just to ease his concerns.
After listening, Chai Ren had no more doubts.
"I have no more questions. Happy cooperation." Chai Ren raised his glass and laughed.
"Happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation."
The group toasted and drained their glasses.
With the business talks over, they then started chatting happily. When they first met Chai Ren, they chatted about everyday life and told interesting stories. They were all titans of the business world, running around all over the place, and they had countless, varied topics of conversation. It didn’t take long for Tang Kai and Chai Ren to get acquainted.
Afterwards, Tang Kai took them back to his villa.
Early the next morning.
Tang Kai immediately called the other side, with Liu Qian and Chai Ren sitting beside him.
The call was quickly picked up.
"Boss Tang, have you made your decision?" It was the same voice.
Tang Kai took a deep breath, this was the biggest business deal he had ever negotiated, he was inevitably nervous. "Hello, I’ve decided, I want all your cargo, with payment made within three days after checking the goods, according to the previously agreed rules. You know that, right?" He carefully reminded them after speaking, if disagreements arose because of misunderstandings, it would be utterly ridiculous.
The response from that side put him at ease.
"Of course, we know this rule, the cargo is already ready, it can be shipped tomorrow noon, and arrive by evening, the latest payment time is before twelve o’clock Friday night, is the pickup location still the old place?"
"Yes, the old location, and what’s your payment method?" Tang Kai asked.
"To facilitate the transaction, this time you can use US dollars, Thai Baht, or RMB. Cash or transfer is acceptable. Just give us according to the international exchange rate. I will give you the account later."
"Can all be in Thai Baht?" Tang Kai tentatively asked, previously Wei Jun only accepted US dollars and a small portion of RMB and Thai Baht.
"It can be," the soldier on the other end said.
Next, there will be large-scale purchases of all kinds of items, and Thailand is naturally the first choice for shopping, and having it all in Thai Baht is also not a problem.
"Okay, then. Prepare on your end, we’ll do the same on ours." Tang Kai had no more questions.
"Okay, Boss Tang, goodbye."
After speaking, the other side hung up.
"Boss Tang, what did he say?" Liu Qian asked anxiously.
Tang Kai had been speaking in Burmese, which they didn’t understand. It might as well have been a foreign language, just unintelligible.
Tang Kai happily said: "There are no problems at all. The goods will arrive tomorrow evening, after checking the goods, the money will be paid before twelve o’clock on Friday night. US dollars, Thai Baht, and RMB are all acceptable. You can even use a single currency, and there are no restrictions on cash or transfers."
"Really? That’s great. We don’t need to exchange foreign currency. He can open an overseas account in ICBC at that time, and I’ll transfer it directly." Chai Ren said, relieved.
"Okay, let’s each start preparing."
Afterwards, the group began to raise funds individually. The goods will arrive tomorrow, and they have four days to pay. Although this is short, it’s enough for the three of them. Each one had contacts, whether obtaining loans, interbank borrowing, shuffling funds or using their own funds, gathering the amount was not difficult, especially since they can use their own country’s currency. This will save a large amount of currency exchange fees.
Such a large amount of money was impossible to be converted from RMB to dollars even by Chai Ren, from the country’s foreign exchange reserves. They could only go to the black market. Otherwise, Chai Ren wouldn’t have asked Liu Qian for dollars last time.
Now, they are just waiting to earn money.
Of course.
First, Tang Kai has to take care of the relationships.
Thinking about the significance of this deal, Tang Kai was fired up.
PS: This is the first Chapter. Next Chapter would probably be available at 11pm or after. You can continue reading tomorrow morning.
