HK Composite: Starting from Shenghe Leading

Chapter 570 Little Trick

Looking at the dazzling array of books around him, Dang Chengrui was extremely shocked, especially when he saw the so-called banned books in the country, his eyes lit up.

Although the times are constantly developing and progressing, and technology is constantly advancing, it does not mean that thoughts can diverge without restraint.

The story of the breeze being illiterate and flipping through books at random is still happening unconsciously.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your kindness, and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet us."

Dang Cheng used careful words and expressed his respect with great respect. Qi Tian, ​​also excited about receiving his favorite gift, expressed his heartfelt respect.

These two heavyweights in their respective systems were like rookies in front of Lin Zehao, without the slightest sense of dignity at all.

Even his sitting posture was a little funny, with his butt resting on the edge of the sofa, his back straight, and an expression full of respect.

"You don't need to be polite. Putting aside other identities, we are all compatriots. Even if it's just other fellow villagers who come to see me, I won't refuse as long as the conditions allow."

Lin Zehao had an elegant and decent smile on his face, making it impossible for the two to guess what he was thinking.

Qi Tian just kept nodding his head with a look of agreement. Although Dang Chengrui looked calm, he felt nervous in his heart. Being well versed in the ways of the world, he knew that these words seemed to be Lin Zehao's way of showing off his deep sense of justice and righteousness.

But, in reality, it is hitting them.

The implication is very simple. Don't think that just because you have status and a black hat on your head, you can act arrogantly and get special treatment in front of me.

In fact, in my eyes, you are no different from any other compatriots.

Of course, these implications are just Dang Chengrui's own understanding and he cannot really express them out loud.

"Mr. Lin, we are here this time to discuss some business with you under orders from above."

"Business is just pure business, and I guarantee that nothing else will be mixed in."

Dang Chengrui hurriedly explained seriously, fearing that Lin Zehao would be unhappy and leave in anger.

Although this was the first time the two of them met Lin Zehao, the organization had dealt with him more than once or twice.

After so many years of contact, the organization has already conducted several detailed assessments of Lin Zehao.

Make an in-depth and easy-to-understand analysis of the other party's background, experience, speaking and doing style, as well as 360-degree all-round details.

In the end, the organization concluded that Lin Zehao was a guy who would only respond to soft tactics and not hard ones.

At heart, he is a patriot, but he only has respect for the government.

It is absolutely wrong to regard them as people who can be brainwashed at will, restrained by some so-called "a few cars" that are exaggerated, and by simply putting a few big hats on them.

Therefore, Dang Chengrui and Qi Tian must be cautious in this meeting.

Lin Zehao can be fearless, but the other two do not have the capital and qualifications.

"Doing business?"

"Doing business is good. I love doing business the most."

"This isn't the first time we've dealt with each other. Tell me, what kind of business do you want to do this time?"

Lin Zehao held a cigar in his mouth and smiled as he signaled his subordinates to divide the Cuban cigars in the box between the two of them.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Dang Chengrui and Qi Tian stood up and took the cigars with extreme respect.

Although they had smoked cigars in China, this was their first time to come into contact with such top-quality Cuban cigars.

The unique, rich and fragrant aroma is absolutely unforgettable and intoxicating.

Even though he sensed that the atmosphere was a little strange, Qi Tian continued to smoke silently. Even though he was anxious inside, he still didn't dare to speak casually.

Because, for this kind of situation, his ability is almost zero.

His strengths lie in other areas, and intervening now would only do harm.

"Mr. Lin, we would like to ask you to purchase some grain from abroad. The minimum amount should not be less than 10,000 tons. There is no upper limit. The more the better."

"You can name the price, but it would be best if you could settle it in domestic currency."

After careful consideration, Dang Chengrui carefully expressed the matter using appropriate words.

Although the current domestic grain production is quite good, it is still a bit insufficient given the huge volume.

Moreover, as the big brother, the Polar Bear Alliance has a vivid experience of falling into a food crisis. China, which is good at summarizing and preparing for a rainy day, must make adequate preparations early.

Relying solely on planting and storing grain is still a bit too slow. The current international situation is unstable and war seems to break out anywhere. No one can guarantee whether a large-scale war will start tomorrow.

Under such circumstances, the simplest, safest and most efficient way is to purchase large quantities of food to form a strategic reserve.

But the real difficulty lies here. For some reasons, Western countries led by the United States will not sell food to their domestic markets on a large scale.

Even if you raise the price, they won't sell it.

This isn't about money, it's about strategy.

In desperation, after discussion within the organization, they decided to ask Lin Zehao to come forward.

Firstly, among the global businessmen they have met so far, only Lin Zehao has this ability.

After all, the country was still a planned economy, and there were no businessmen who could be considered outstanding.

Secondly, Lin Zehao is Guo Henian’s son-in-law. Although the wedding has not yet been officially held, it is already known to everyone in the circle.

And what does Guo Henian do?

International food tycoon!

Isn't it normal for the son-in-law of a grain tycoon to come forward to purchase grain?
No one will doubt it, and no one will restrict it.

If even a grain tycoon of this size is subject to restrictions, then we might as well stop doing business and just wait for death!
This is also the fundamental reason why even the Polar Bear Alliance, one of the two poles of the world, has to look for Lin Zehao to buy food.

There is really no other suitable candidate except him.

"The minimum is 10,000 tons, and there is no upper limit. Do you really think that I, Lin, opened the grain market?"

"I believe you should also know that the major grain-producing countries in the world are more or less directly or indirectly influenced by the United States. In addition, it is itself a major agricultural country, so if you want to buy large quantities of food, you will definitely not be able to get past the United States."

"Then here comes the question. Although a pig sitting in the White House will not affect the development of America, those financial groups are not idiots. They have their own information channels. It is impossible for such a big deal not to leak out..."

"When the time comes, I will have a way to solve these troubles, but can you accept the related expenses incurred?"

With such a big business and such a huge stakes involved, Lin Zehao would not rush forward foolishly like a hot-blooded young man just because someone said a few nice words to him.

These days, it is no longer the special period when beliefs were as strong as steel. Society is changing, the environment is changing, and everyone has selfish desires.

Not to mention, this kind of business not only requires a huge amount of working capital, but also requires a lot of favors. It is ridiculous to think that Lin Zehao can be sent away with just a little money. "Excuse me, this business cannot be done with money alone, not to mention that it does not use foreign exchange settlement, which is even more a fantasy."

“Just imagine what would happen if I asked those American businessmen to settle accounts with RMB?”

Although Lin Zehao understands the current situation of insufficient domestic foreign exchange reserves from an emotional perspective, it does not mean that he is an idiot.

He understands and sympathizes with the insufficient domestic foreign exchange reserves, and can even make appropriate concessions.

However, when purchasing food from the international market, how could those merchants agree to use RMB for settlement?

In today's international trading market, apart from the US dollar and the ruble, the remaining currencies are not very recognized.

This is not only a reflection of national strength, but also a recognition of the trade system!

It’s not that the RMB is not good. After all, China started late and the market opening was just decided, so these are all understandable.

The main thing is that some people pretend to be ignorant while knowing the truth, and try to use some tricks to make Lin Zehao fill the deficit, which is really ridiculous.

After all, the country uses RMB for settlement, but Lin Zehao must use US dollars to purchase grain.

Apart from anything else, the price difference caused by the exchange alone is not a small amount.

"Mr. Lin, these regulations were set by the leaders above, and I can't do anything about it..."

Dang Chengrui's heart skipped a beat, but he still had to explain with a smile on his face.

Ever since he learned about the relevant conditions, he has been worried that the trick might be hidden from others, but he simply didn't believe that it could be hidden from Lin Zehao.

How could someone who could do business to this extent be a fool?

"If that's the case, tell those leaders that this deal can't be done."

After saying that, Lin Zehao was about to get up and leave. Seeing this, Qi Tian quickly explained: "Mr. Lin, please wait for another five minutes. We will go and ask our superiors for instructions now."

Lin Zehao did not say anything, but signaled his subordinates beside him to hand the satellite phone to the two men.

"Just fight me in front of you. You only have five minutes."

Dang Chengrui did not dare to hesitate, and quickly picked up the phone and dialed the number of his superior.

Soon, the call was answered.

"Leader, this is what happened..."

Dang Chengrui did not exaggerate or conceal anything, but simply narrated the whole story in a clever and tactful way.

Among them, he also briefly mentioned Lin Zehao's tough attitude.

However, this so-called euphemism is actually quite blatant for those who have been working in the system for a long time.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Didn't I specifically tell you that you can use your foreign exchange reserves?"

After receiving Dang Chengrui's report, the superiors were also somewhat confused and puzzled.

He had clearly and accurately issued the relevant orders to ensure that the scarce foreign exchange reserves could be used. After all, they knew Lin Zehao's character very well. How could he use such a cheap trick in such a matter?
You can't ask someone to do something for you with this attitude.

The superior was silent for a moment, then thought of a possibility.

It seems that some cunning guys are planning to make a fortune from this matter.

After all, the price difference between foreign currencies is not a small amount.

Especially in the 1990s, the huge profits generated were enough to create countless wealthy people.

It seems that the huge benefits contained in this have caused some people to waver in their thinking, and even their firm beliefs have inevitably collapsed and deteriorated.

"Okay, I know about this matter. You don't need to report it to anyone else. I will handle it."

"Also, you must apologize to Lin Zehao immediately and do everything you can to keep him and ensure the smooth progress of the relevant transactions."

"That place is not China, and Lin Zehao is not one of those brainless ordinary people who can be brainwashed by just saying a few slogans."

"When necessary, you can relax the conditions appropriately, but don't be rigid or pretentious."

"In short, as long as we can facilitate this transaction, we can slowly discuss the conditions."

"That's it. Report any news to me in time."

As his superior hung up the phone, Dang Chengrui finally felt relieved.

The original anxiety has finally disappeared.

It seems that he still underestimated the importance of Lin Zehao.

The top three people in the committee all have this attitude, so it is easy to imagine some problems.

"Understood, I promise to complete the task!"

After Dang Chengrui finished speaking, he returned the satellite phone to his subordinate beside him, then bowed respectfully 90 degrees to Lin Zehao and began to explain.

"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry. The previous conditions were completely a misunderstanding. The reason is that someone inside wanted to take this opportunity to make money, so..."

He had just said two sentences when Lin Zehao rudely interrupted him by raising his hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in what's going on inside your organization."

"I am just a businessman and I don't want to get involved in politics."

"Next, it's better for us to just talk about business."

As I said, Lin Zehao really has no interest in politics at all.

If his business had not grown to a certain size and he had to deal with these politicians, he would not even be willing to contact these people.

After all, no one knows whether one day in the future you will be thrown out by these people to take the blame for something, or to appease public anger.

This feeling of having no trust at all is really terrible.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, everything is up to you."

"My superior has just made it clear that we can use foreign exchange to conduct this transaction. The price is up to you."

Dang Chengrui spoke very quickly, his voice began to tremble and he was completely unaware that the cold sweat was dripping down his forehead.

A group of people who have always been superstitious about authority, suddenly encounter a person like Lin Zehao who does not pay for authority. The first feeling they have is not admiration, but fear.
