Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Even if Wang Daming used clever means to gain the approval of the Russians, if the immediate supply of funds could not be guaranteed, the equipment would not arrive in China as scheduled. The main purpose of Wang Daming's call was to ask Su Chen for the money so that the purchase could be completed smoothly. Su Chen was very excited to learn that the required resources were in place and would soon be under his control. This was undoubtedly a great help to his plan.

Although the system will reward Su Chen with some design plans, there are always many inconveniences in developing new things, and if you have a complete production line...

Su Chen obtained a complete set of ** production lines from the Bear Country, and the workers can operate them directly. At the same time, the information from the Metal Research Laboratory can also become a resource for the future scientific research department of the steel mill. However, all of this is inferior to the professional talents of the Bear Country. Su Chen clearly remembers that in many of the country's past construction projects, there was a solid foundation laid by experts from the Bear Country.

If we can recruit these high-level experts, the future development of the steel mill will be immeasurable. Thinking of this, Su Chen was very excited and planned to pay a cross-border transfer to the Bear Country immediately.

The current funds of the steel mill are enough to cover any requirements of the Bear Country, and it is just a small amount for Su Chen. But when he was about to complete the payment, he suddenly remembered an important thing.

Today's domestic economy of the bear country is very tight. Not only high-end production lines and materials, but also all resources including top experts are sold at low prices.

At this time, a few pieces of bread could be exchanged for a night with a lady in the lives of ordinary people. Due to the serious shortage of materials in the bear country market, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy what you need. Many experts even face the dilemma of food shortage.

Based on this, Su Chen made a new plan, which was to purchase a large amount of cheap materials from China and ship them to the border areas to give to the Russians as a means of exchange.

For today's Bear Country, using physical transactions instead of capital may be more in line with its actual situation; for Bear Country scholars, this is a great help, and directly receiving material things is far more useful than money.

In this way, Su Chen can save a lot of money and also gain the gratitude and friendship of the people of Mao Bear Country. While thinking about it, Mr. Wang on the other side was extremely anxious.

Cross-border calls are very expensive and he is worried that things might change if they take too long. If Su Chen is unwilling to pay for these things, they will most likely be bought by someone else right away. Mr. Wang asked hurriedly, "Director, when do you plan to transfer the money?"

"I think it's better not to pay any money."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Mr. Wang was surprised and asked, "Are you going to give up everything?"

In fact, in order to reach the Bear Country, contact professionals and understand the relevant situation, he made great efforts, spent his network and time, and used all kinds of insignificant goodwill to build a bridge of trust. Now seeing that everything has progressed smoothly, he was quite anxious to hear such words, but before he could reveal his inner emotions, Su Chen told him the specific action plan.

Su Chen said: "It is difficult for them to use the money directly now, so I plan to purchase a batch of supplies and transport them across the border. You just need to meet them there."

Hearing this, Wang Daming's worries were slightly relieved. "The factory director is really thoughtful."

Although Wang Daming was quite skilled in smuggling, he did not think much about such details. Although he knew that the situation in the Bear Country was extremely difficult, he had never considered this aspect. Seeing that Su Chen even thought about such details so carefully, Wang Daming could not help but admire him.

"We need to give them the most practical help. Once these supplies arrive there, the experts and technical talents there can return smoothly." Su Chen added.

Wang Daming nodded to show that he agreed very much with this view. Since he arrived in the Bear Country, he found that the situation here was different from what he had imagined in his own country: the local people even had difficulty eating bread mixed with sawdust, and many scientists could not even afford the most ordinary white bread.

These experts are important assets of the country, but they have fallen into such a state in this predicament.

Of course, if the Bear Country had not been in trouble, he would hardly have had the opportunity to smuggle such high-quality products. But Wang Daming still had a question.

"Director, your plan is correct, but I am a little worried whether customs will allow it to pass."

Any goods that want to pass through the border must be inspected. Considering that this time a large number of high-value items are to be sent to the Bear Country, the customs must pay special attention and inspection. This gave Wang Daming a headache.

Because, even though he paid a lot of bribes to be able to go back and forth between border inspections, he could only secretly sell some small items. This time, a large amount of supplies was required, and it was not something that could be satisfied with just a little bribe.

Su Chen was not worried about this, because for Su Chen, it was no problem to go directly to the customs clearance procedures. After all, the relevant departments were very happy with Su Chen's actions because they could also make a certain profit from it. "You don't have to worry about this. I will take care of it. Just wait for my signal." After hearing this, Wang Daming felt a lot more relaxed. If even this biggest problem was solved, he would have nothing to worry about.

After ending the call, Su Chen called Assistant Zhang and wanted to go to the market to purchase in large quantities.

"We are going to go shopping now, come with me."

At that time, Assistant Zhang was handling matters between employees in the factory on the ground floor. He was very surprised by this. However, he did not ask too many questions but accompanied Su Chen to the nearest big market for a sweep.

"Director, what products do you plan to buy?"

"Buy me all the food, clothes, and daily necessities. I want everything that is necessary for life."

Hearing Su Chen say this, Assistant Zhang nodded quickly, and the two of them quickly separated and started buying goods frantically.

Su Chen doesn't just buy one or two things. Instead, as long as he sees an item he likes on the shelf, he will immediately call the clerk and move all the goods on the shelf.

Every time Su Chen passed by a store, he would almost buy out all the stock of that store.

Su Chen and Assistant Zhang walked along the way and emptied almost all the department stores they passed by. In less than half a day, they had purchased a hundred train cars full of daily necessities.

These things were piled up so full that it was impossible for Su Chen and Assistant Zhang to carry them back by themselves. He had already arranged for people to deliver the materials to the steel mill.

The two's shopping spree shocked everyone in the department store, and many people speculated which rich young man was there to do the shopping.

After hearing the news, some shop owners stuck their heads out to greet Su Chen, hoping to invite him to patronize their shops.

Su Chen ignored the shops that didn't suit his taste and bought whatever he wanted, casually buying all kinds of daily necessities. Assistant Zhang followed him to pay and then asked the clerk to pack everything and send it to the warehouse.

Before leaving, Su Chen had rented several large warehouses to temporarily store the various items he purchased and use them as transfer points.

These things will be useful sooner or later, whether in daily life or sold elsewhere in the future. If they are sold to the Bear Country, they may even fetch a good price.

Su Chen plans to transport part of these supplies to the Bear Country to purchase necessary goods, and sell the remaining part locally.

Maybe it can attract more experts from the Bear Country to come here.

Su Chen thought of this and took a short break, and continued to let Assistant Zhang shop. Assistant Zhang experienced shopping for the first time. As an ordinary worker, even after being promoted to Su Chen's assistant and having a significant salary increase, he had never spent money so lavishly.

Money seemed to no longer be important. Assistant Zhang had become numb after buying so many things. When he saw something useful, he asked the clerk to pack up all the goods in the warehouse and take them away.

He finally understood the motivation of the rich to make money. After a morning of crazy shopping, he even had the desire to make more money.

He had never experienced the luxurious life of wealthy people before, but after shopping this morning, he felt that although it was luxurious, it was also very hard.

If I were to go through this kind of shopping spree every day, I probably wouldn’t be able to bear it.

While waiting for Assistant Zhang to go on a shopping spree, Su Chen stopped by a nearby grocery store and picked out some economical and practical low-priced items.

They are all inconspicuous commodities, mostly the latest popular small items in each region.

Su Chen discovered that there were not only some small toys, but also fresh specialties from all over the place.

It seemed that trade exchanges across the country were becoming increasingly active, so Su Chen picked out some small items suitable as holiday gifts, and instructed the store owner and clerk to deliver these items to the employees of the steel mill and tractor factory.

Since they had to come out to purchase, Su Chen might as well buy a few more items as employee benefits.

He could use this excuse to put the goods in the warehouse so that others would have nothing to complain about.

After getting the approval, Su Chen could personally escort the goods to the Bear Country. However, Su Chen was completely unaware that his actions caused a sensation in the entire department store.

The shop owners in higher positions all beat their chests and stamped their feet in despair.

They regretted why the shop was not on the first floor, otherwise it would have been quickly cleared out by Su Chen.

Everyone in the department store looked at Assistant Zhang eagerly, hoping that they would come to the store to buy things.

Assistant Zhang was well aware that Su Chen's demand was huge. He had already felt overwhelmed when he bought fifty carriages, but when he heard that Su Chen needed at least one hundred carriages, he was extremely shocked.

At first, Assistant Zhang was worried whether there was enough money to buy the goods.

But soon I realized that the current steel mill is no longer the small factory on the verge of bankruptcy. Let alone these, even if the steel mill takes over an entire department store, it has the strength to do so.

Therefore, Assistant Zhang bought everything from the first floor to the sixth floor without any worries.

His shopping spree almost emptied out the entire department store! Even the staff at the mall couldn't believe that two people had bought up all the merchandise in the entire building in just one day.

The shop owners were so happy that they closed their shops and reorganized their stocks because their goods were sold out, and hurriedly sent them to the steel mills.

Their business suddenly became so prosperous that they didn't have to worry about the next year.

Su Chen was completely unaware of all this. After buying all the holiday gifts, he went straight to the relevant management department.

This department not only supervises the customs, but is also responsible for the economic situation of the entire city.

So when Su Chen came to collect the approval document, the leader stamped the approval document without hesitation when he learned it was him.
