After sorting out all the information, Ji Donglai immediately called Youdus. The two agreed on a location, and Ran Bo started driving mode directly according to the map.
"It's a bad place. You have to slow down at the intersection. If you exceed the limit, you will be fined. The distance between you and the car is still so close. I really admire these people!"
Ran Bo's driving skills are already quite good in China, but driving here is quite sweaty, especially when faced with local speedsters and the ubiquitous military police.
Yes, it’s the military police! The police wear military uniforms and can check your documents at any time and test you for drunk driving from time to time.
In fact, it means holding it with both hands in a closed shape, and then you blow on it, and if he says you drink it, you drink it.
Ran Bo's certificate was international, and Ji Donglai didn't drive and ignored it.
Coupled with Ran Bo's sharp eyes, few military police dared to offend him.
Two and a half hours later, Youdusi's business car met Ji Donglai, crossed three railway lines, and after an hour and a half of walking, the car entered a village and turned into a factory building. Next to the factory building was a cargo station.
"Hey guys, why do I feel like I'm home?"
Soviet-style factories are really the same everywhere. The factories here are almost exactly the same as those large state-owned factories that Ji Donglai saw in Harbin.
On the cement floor, all kinds of bulky equipment are arranged in order. The nameplates are all in Russian. There are some machine tools with numbers Ji Donglai recognized, 20, 40, and 80.
Hemming, curling, plate rolling, and milling machines are all available here.
There is a huge yard, tall walls, and a residential area far away from the factory.
The owner of the factory is a Russian, and the technical director is a Korean. He speaks fluent Russian and almost no Ukrainian.
"Ji, he said that this factory, equipment, and workers cost three million U.S. dollars. As a very caring person, he thought it was very cheap! And the land next to it is already very cheap, so if you like We can sign the contract as soon as possible, but if we can’t pay as soon as possible, the price will go up.”
Ufang's boss is also a very burly man with a Russian-style medium mustache. The price he mentioned almost pushed Ji Donglai out of the door. Looking at the other party's quotation, Ji Dong took a look at the other party's layout.
"Let him tell you a real price. If possible, we will discuss it. If not, we will not waste his time. These devices are already older than my grandma. If he thinks these devices are valuable, he actually is. It can be moved.”
"I can import equipment from China. The new equipment imported from your side is tax-free. In addition, the workers can be taken away. We are not responsible for paying these people severance pay! For the price of four million US dollars, he can pray and see if there is any No god will help him sell it!”
There was a lot of outdated equipment that the other party obtained from the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the cost was barely a few cents.
Now that I saw Dongfang's face coming over, he just wanted to extort a sum of money. Ji Dong came to Qingmeng.
"Three and a half million..."
"$150,000. If it's for sale, I'll buy it! He's responsible for demobilizing these workers. If it doesn't work, we won't talk."
While translating, Youdus kept looking at Ji Donglai's face, his eyes full of worry.
This factory has been here for a long time, and the boss has a certain influence. Youdus is worried that Ji Dong will cause trouble.
"How can there be such a bargain..."
After Youdus finished translating, the boss of Ufang was in a frenzy with all kinds of gestures. Even if Ji Donglai didn't understand, he could still understand the other party's enthusiasm.
Youdusi explained in various ways, and the man made all sorts of noises there. Ji Donglai just watched quietly, and finally the other party made a gesture to Youdus.
"He said he needed two million..."
"Go and have fun! The land is not valuable, and the equipment is not valuable. I gave you 150,000 for the sake of the land. It takes more than three hours to drive from our glass wool factory to here, and it takes a while to walk to Tashkent. We Why not buy land in Tashkent and build your own factory, the land is free."
"What equipment can't I buy with the remaining money? We can buy two machine tools for US$10,000 in our country. How many machines does he have in total? The workshop is deserted now, and there are no regular customers. How can we get two million US dollars to sell it? Still not selling it, if it does we will buy it and arrange for the accountant to pay him."
"If it doesn't sell, I'm leaving! It's a waste of time. You dare to ask us so much money for such a small piece of land. Are you kidding me? Do you think all of us from China are fools?"
Facing the other party's boss, Ji Donglai was not polite at all.
These people now look at Chinese people just like the Liulichang vendors in China in the 1990s looked at foreigners and wanted them to die. Many of the big brothers in today’s society started their business back then.
The other party just dropped from two million, while Ji Donglai didn't add a cent, even if the other party hit the table directly, Ji Donglai finally stood up.
"USD 160,000, I won't add a cent more. If we can reach an agreement, we'll do it, no? Just pretend we haven't been here!"
Ji Donglai had to admire the performance ability of the people in this land. Every time the price was reduced, he expressed grief as if his mother had died. But he could keep killing his mother, and in the end Ji Donglai was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
"Ji, he said he can accept this price, but you need to negotiate with their workers themselves. This factory has its own union, and you have to negotiate with their union."
In the end, Youdusi gave Ji Donglai a quotation. Ji Donglai was not happy for a second, but the other party's words immediately made Ji Donglai's eyes flash with stars.
"Trade union? Such a bad point, ten people? Trade union?"
Ji Donglai almost swallowed his tongue, only then did he realize what it means to have a sparrow with all its internal organs.
Youdos also felt helpless. This is how the country was set up, not to mention that this place still inherited the previous Soviet system. The boss was responsible for expenses, and the factory management and labor union management were completely the Koreans here.
According to Youdusi's translation, the other party's name was Da Wulong. Just like this, two pure Asian faces sat face to face. This conversation was jointly translated by Li Xiaojuan and Youdusi, because the other party spoke Russian.
"We're asking for $50,000 in unemployment compensation for everyone..."
"Don't even think about it. I can continue to employ you. I spent 160,000 U.S. dollars to buy this factory and will give you 50,000 U.S. dollars in compensation? What a dream! They are all East Asians. Speak more openly. We accept the factory. Do you have any opinions? ! In addition, I have a factory in Jizzak that is in need of work now. Please place your order immediately and I will guarantee you an income of three hundred US dollars every month!"
Facing this pretentious Korean face, Ji Donglai really wanted to slap him in the face.
