The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 374 Shameless
Park Wei is definitely a qualified and high-performing tool. Ask him to draft legal documents, and he will handle them perfectly. Ask him to help recruit talents, and he will also make things run smoothly for you.

For him, importing a breed of pet cat from abroad is now a piece of cake.

Liu Hua gave him 200,000 yuan for activities, and this guy put aside all his immigration and study abroad cases to ensure that Liu Hua's cats could enter the country smoothly.

Of course, his abilities were also relatively limited. He couldn't reach the higher-level departments, so Liu Hua contacted the relevant departments such as customs and quarantine through the leaders of the Ministry of Industry.

At that time, Ragdoll cats were not among the pets allowed to enter the country. It wasn't that these cats were particularly harmful, but rather that they were considered a luxury item. The market in our country had not yet been developed, and there were no relevant documents allowing their import.

After a series of procedures, plus quarantine and inspections, and after two or three months of back and forth, fifty Ragdoll cats were finally imported from the United States and settled in Liu Sheng's pet shop.

Liu Sheng fell in love with these adorable little guys at first sight. Instead of selling the Ragdoll cats for profit, he hired four animal husbandry students to breed them and try to expand the population.

At that moment, who could have imagined that ten years later, Liu Sheng would not only establish the largest Ragdoll cat population in China, but also cultivate two major branches: the National Color Ragdoll and the Tabby Ragdoll, and obtain certification from the International Ragdoll Association.

He gave Liu Feifei a beautiful plush toy and a tabby plush toy, both of which were the best of their kind. Liu Hua was envious when he saw them, and would always hug the two little guys and give them a good rub whenever he got home.

There was a wealthy lady in the capital who offered ten million to buy one of the cats, but Liu Feifei flatly refused. She was not short of money and loved both cats to the extreme.

When the Ragdoll cat was passing the test, Liu Hua encountered some trouble.

The young master of the Quandt family from Hans Kingdom personally flew to Hua Hua's home to apologize to Liu Hua.

“Liu, starting next year, I will have to reduce the amount of carbon fiber I purchase from you.”

Liu Hua asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"You know the current situation of our Hans country. That wall was torn down last year."

Leon shrugged helplessly and said, "The Russian bear is now in a state of decline, while the United States has gained the upper hand. They are very arrogant. The carbon fiber manufacturers in the United States have approached their members of Congress and high-ranking officials of the troops stationed in our country, demanding that we increase our purchases from their companies. Our family cannot bear such pressure and has no choice but to compromise."

Liu Hua said nonchalantly, "So you're just going to be exploited by them?"

“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Leon said angrily. “They’re all-powerful in Europe now, and our two families aren’t strong enough to fight them. If we don’t compromise, we’ll only perish.”

"What about the price?"

Liu Hua asked a very crucial question, and Leon shook his head: "It's extremely expensive. Our annual costs increase by about 15% to 20%."

Are their production sufficient?

Leon shook his head: "If there's enough, then it's not just about reducing my purchases from you; I estimate I'll have to completely stop buying from you."

"So, it can't supply the whole of Europe?" Liu Hua muttered to himself. "If you resell your carbon fiber purchases, then purchase and produce them in our country, and finally export the finished products directly to your country, wouldn't you be able to make a little profit?" Leon's eyes lit up: "That seems possible, but we need to plan it out carefully."

Originally, Liu Hua's carbon fiber exports to Europe were all to the Hans, who would then re-export it to other countries.

Currently, the carbon fiber from the US is transshipped through Europe, while Liu Hua's carbon fiber is directly processed in China before being exported as finished products to Russia.

In this way, they can use China's local currency for settlement, which will save them money. As for the export of finished products, there is a lot of room for manipulation. After all, it is a joint venture of Volkswagen. As long as it doesn't break the law, they can do whatever they want.

Leon felt this matter had great potential, so he prepared to return to his country to plan it out.

No sooner had he left than Liu Hua's factory welcomed a distributor from America. From the man's demeanor and tone, one could sense the arrogance that America now wielded.

The man said with a slightly mocking tone, "Mr. Liu, we've heard that Hans has reduced its carbon fiber purchases from your company."

Liu Hua shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not just hearsay, but something you orchestrated yourself. Leon just left here, and he has very mixed feelings about you. He'd love to tear you apart."

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is a feast for the victors. After World War II, we created the entire international system, so naturally, it's up to us, the great Americans, to have priority."

Liu Hua leaned back in his chair and said nonchalantly, "So what are you doing here? We've lost our order, and you're here to laugh at us."

"No no no no no."

The guy said "no" five times in a row, then spoke arrogantly in a savior's tone, like when they entered Paris after landing in Normandy.

“No matter how much carbon fiber your factory produces each year, I will accept it all, completely.”

His nouveau riche attitude is really annoying. Liu Hua picked up the phone on the table and said slowly to the guy, "Bitch, wait a minute, I'll call the police first."

"what?"

"Everyone in the world knows that carbon fiber is not only used in ordinary civilian industries, but also in the military industry." Liu Hua said jokingly, "You are trying to monopolize all our materials. I suspect you are a spy sent by the great Americans to sabotage our military production. Don't worry, our police are very professional, a million times more civilized than your great American police. Whether you are a spy or not, we will know in one interrogation."

“Shit.” The guy quickly explained, “What I mean is, didn’t the Quandt family already make it clear to you that they will reduce your orders here for all the vacated quotas?”

Liu Hua hung up the phone: "You guys aren't short of production capacity, so you bought carbon fiber from me and then resold it to them, are you?"

This guy shamelessly said, "So what? We may not be able to produce that many, but we can make sure you can't sell that many. That's the real meaning of 'America First'."

At this moment, Liu Hua gained a concrete understanding of the internet slang phrase "Shameless people are invincible," which came vividly to life before his eyes.
