Niu Xiaoqiang had eased up a little, and finally remembered to express his gratitude to Fan Demin for his help: "Uncle Fan, it's really troublesome for you, you want to follow me to get angry, and I thank you for your help on behalf of the hundreds of employees of Asia Machinery Factory." ”

Fan Demin waved his hand: "This is my job, you don't have to be polite to me, what I'm most worried about now is that the time is delayed for too long, which will delay your delivery, Xiaoqiang, uncle reminds you, when the time comes, you don't want to do irrational things as soon as your head is hot, once you lose the room to turn around, everything will be over." ”

Fan Demin has seen the contract signed between Niu Xiaoqiang and Smith, according to the contract, if the Asian machinery factory fails to deliver on time, it needs to pay Smith a high amount of compensation.

If it is delayed for more than three months, the order will fall through, and Niu Xiaoqiang will eventually need to pay Smith a huge sum of $2.1 million. In Fan Demin's view, it is impossible for Asia Machinery Factory to afford this compensation, and Niu Xiaoqiang himself thinks so.

According to the country's strict supervision of foreign exchange, even if Niu Xiaoqiang has enough renminbi in his hand, it is impossible for him to exchange 2.1 million US dollars in foreign exchange. What's more, he simply doesn't have so much money in his hands.

If it really comes to this point, Niu Xiaoqiang, as the real boss of the Asian Machinery Factory, his best outcome is to go bankrupt and try his best to make up for Smith's compensation. If Smith goes through the legal process and is seriously investigated, then he will go to jail.

However, this is not very likely. Niu Xiaoqiang is not a commercial fraud, he has completed the production in accordance with the requirements of the contract, but he was unable to deliver the goods on time because the transportation was blocked, which has nothing to do with commercial fraud.

Smith is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, so Niu Xiaoqiang signed a repayment contract with him and completed the repayment of the compensation in batches. As long as he gives enough benefits, Smith should not refuse.

Niu Xiaoqiang felt that he had to talk to Smith in advance to see what the other party's attitude was. If the other party is easier to talk to, maybe they can change the delivery date of the goods, and then find a way to ship the goods to Africa, so that the compensation can be saved.

Niu Xiaoqiang did not want to find other transport companies to transport this batch of goods, but there is no private shipping company in China, and the existing shipping companies are connected to each other, since the shipping group does not cooperate, other companies will definitely not cooperate.

At present, the crux of the problem is all focused on transportation, Niu Xiaoqiang thought of this and asked, "Uncle Fan, can we find foreign companies to help transport goods?"

Fan Demin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "At present, the state has not opened up the shipping business to foreign enterprises, and this method will not work." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang said angrily: "There are monopoly operations of state-owned enterprises everywhere, how can we do a good job in economic construction under this business model that lacks competition and vitality?!"

Fan Demin could only smile bitterly at this, he was more aware of the domestic situation than Niu Xiaoqiang. Although I know what's going on, I just can't shake those super state-owned enterprises. Not to mention him, even the leaders of national ministries and commissions will not do it easily. No way, the layers involved are too complicated.

After complaining, Niu Xiaoqiang proposed another solution that was not a solution: "Uncle Fan, if I spend money to buy a ship, can you help me get a business license for shipping?"

Niu Xiaoqiang bought a boat during the Chinese New Year in order to solve the problem of unsmooth road transportation. Now that the sea is not smooth, he can't help but think of this stubble, and wants to buy a ship to transport the goods to Africa.

Fan Demin shook his head: "This won't work at all, I don't know people in the coastal areas, even if I know people, in the face of strong pressure from several state-owned enterprises, who would dare to nod and agree?"

Fan Demin changed his words when he said this: "Besides, what you want to transport this time is 50 heavy trucks, and at least a large ship of two or three thousand tons can be loaded, and such a large ship will cost two or three million, can you take it?"

Niu Xiaoqiang pulled his hair a little irritably: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you really want to force me to hang myself?!"

Fan Demin understood Niu Xiaoqiang's mood at the moment, he sighed lightly and patted Niu Xiaoqiang's shoulder: "Don't be impatient for a while, maybe the matter is not as serious as you imagined? ”

The two did not have any entourage on this business trip, and they did not salute much, and they quickly passed the inspection and boarded the plane.

Although this was Niu Xiaoqiang's first time flying, he was not curious at all. Faced with such a difficult predicament, how could Niu Xiaoqiang have the heart to look left and right? He sat in his place with his head bowed, too lazy to talk to anyone.

Seeing his appearance, Fan Demin shook his head and closed his mouth.

The plane went into normal sailing after a period of turbulence. Flight attendants pushed small carts and asked passengers one by one if they needed food and drink.

When asked about Niu Xiaoqiang and Fan Demin's row, Fan Demin asked for a bottle of soda and a dinner.

Niu Xiaoqiang continued to lower his head and did not speak, Fan Demin knew that he had not eaten dinner, so he stretched out his arm and poked Niu Xiaoqiang's arm: "People are iron and rice are steel, no matter how you can't skip eating, the food and drinks here are free, you can also have one." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked, "Free?"

Fan Demin snorted: "It's indeed free." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head and glanced at the cart, and found that there was actually a bottle of Moutai among the top drinks. He asked with a surprised face, "Why is there still liquor?"

The flight attendant was a woman of about twenty-three or fourteen years old, she had a smile on her face all the time, and when she heard this, she smiled and nodded: "Sir, the Moutai wine on our flight is free, and every passenger can taste it, would you like to have a drink?"

Niu Xiaoqiang's somewhat depressed mood finally loosened a little, and he nodded: "Then give me a drink." ”

The flight attendant quickly poured a small glass of wine for Niu Xiaoqiang, and in order to relieve his depression, Niu Xiaoqiang immediately drank the glass of wine with his neck up, and then handed over the empty wine glass: "Give me another glass." ”

The flight attendant nodded, and reminded while pouring wine: "Please pay attention to control the amount of alcohol you drink, don't get drunk, otherwise it will hurt your body." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't care so much, and quickly drank the second glass of wine.

He was just about to ask the flight attendant to pour himself a third glass of wine, when a passenger sitting in the front row snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "It's really a dirt bun, and when you see free things, you want to take advantage of them." ”
