Chapter 702 Pay the handling fee separately
You can also ask someone to help her collect some beautiful flower seeds or ready-made seedlings.
She'll want it in a while.
She originally planned to ask someone in China to buy her a camera, but when she thought about the high prices in China, she couldn't bear to do it.
She even felt a little regretful that she should have chatted more with the noisy South Korean man behind her in the queue when they were queuing for photos in the morning.
Maybe I could get a cheaper camera through this guy. I miscalculated.
Let's do this first.
In the evening, Xia Ran took Han Bing and another friend named Yang Nan to the agreed theater.
As promised, I met the legendary white businessman Sergei.
The show started before I could say anything more.
Xia Ran was forced to watch a musical and almost fell asleep because she didn't really understand it.
She doesn't even have the patience to watch many domestic operas, let alone foreign musicals.
I can't empathize with them at all, and I can't put myself in their emotions. Not falling asleep is already Xia Ran's greatest sincerity.
Han Bing and Yang Nan had no time to watch the show, and they were always paying attention and on guard.
After all, this is someone else's country. Who knows if there are any pitfalls or traps waiting here?
Of course, even if they were asked to be patient and read carefully, they would not be able to understand the content.
I saw a group of people singing and dancing, which was very lively.
In this way, it was time to end. Everyone stood up and applauded, and the show ended successfully.
No matter what the other party's purpose was in inviting her to the opera house, she would just treat it as an experience.
It would be best if this thing succeeds, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't. She will accept whatever the result is.
The two groups then came to a place where they could drink and talk.
It is very large and luxurious inside, with many people, but it is very quiet, and there is even someone playing the piano on the side.
The most eye-catching thing is the bar not far away, which has a wide variety of wines.
Overall the atmosphere is good.
This is how rich people live, no matter how the external environment changes or how bad it gets.
People's daily lives are never too bad.
Xia Ran's expression remained indifferent.
It's obvious that this guy named Sergei is a regular here.
One of his men made a gesture, and someone brought the wine as usual.
"Beautiful lady, please sit down and have a drink with me. The wine here is good. I come here often. What should I call you?"
"Thank you very much for the invitation, but I'm not used to drinking, so please do as you please and don't worry about me.
My name is Xia Ran, you can just call me Xia."
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's a shame that such a beautiful lady doesn't like to drink."
"It's just a matter of lifestyle. I don't have any regrets. If I like it, I drink more. If I don't like it, I don't drink. It's normal."
Sergei asked, "That's right. What did you think of the opera?"
Xia Ran: "The lie is that it's great, but the truth is that I don't understand it at all.
But I respect it and think the performers are very dedicated and excellent.”
Sergei drank a glass of wine and said, "Xia, you are very down-to-earth."
"Well, that's one of my good qualities."
Sergei raised an eyebrow, took another large drink and leaned back before getting to the point. "You want a plane?"
"Correct."
"Do you have the means? The cheapest Tu-154 costs over $1000 million. Can you afford it?"
Xia Ran didn't answer the other party's question directly, but directly stated her true needs:
"I just want an aircraft that offers excellent value for money. I have no intention of buying it at the normal market price."
Xia Ran didn't intend to beat around the bush. If it worked, it worked. If not, she would ask someone else.
If she is willing to pay the normal price to buy a plane, who would come to this place? Wouldn't it be better for her to buy it directly in Europe or the United States?
Of course, European and American passenger planes are priced in billions, so the price will be higher.
Sergey asked: "Great value for money? How do you mean great value?"
Xia Ran: "I want to buy it at the price of scrap steel."
She knew that the other party would definitely not agree, as the current international price of scrap steel is only around US$80 per ton.
The empty weight parameter of the Tu-154 she knew was 55.3 tons.
Even if the other weight is calculated as 55.5 tons or 56 tons, it is not worth much money.
But as for negotiating the price, just take your time, she has plenty of patience.
"That's impossible, you can't even buy a used plane at this price, let alone a new one.
I see you have no intention of really wanting it.
This is simply impossible. Do you think customs officers are blind?
"Do you think the plane could have flown out for no reason? Do you think all this doesn't need to be sorted out?"
Sergei was immediately furious, feeling that he had been fooled by Xia Ran.
He even lost the patience to continue talking to Xia Ran.
I feel that Xia Ran has a really evil heart and has no intention of doing business properly.
Xia Ran smiled and soothed him, "Don't worry. I know it's going to be hard to get through customs. I can pay you an additional $8 in handling fees. How about that?"
Sergei quickly calculated in his mind, how much profit could he make at this price? It was probably just enough to smooth things over.
So what was he after? His anger finally subsided a bit, and he asked, "What kind of plane do you want? A Tu-154 passenger plane?"
"I want the Su-27 the most. Can you get it?"
Sergei was so angry that he laughed: "You must be half asleep. The most I can get is the Tu-154. Are you crazy or am I crazy? You dare to buy and sell the Su-27?"
Selling passenger planes and fighter jets are two completely different things.
Xia Ran joked, "Then why are you asking me this? I thought you had the ability to get it."
She knew that the other party had no chance of getting the Su-27 at the moment.
Xia Ran said indifferently: "It's okay, I'll just ask a few more people.
Just because you can't get a plane at a low price doesn't mean others can't. There might be plenty of people willing to sell it to you, what do you think?
The more you care about something, the more you have to talk about it with an indifferent attitude, only then can you succeed.
"Is this your sincerity?"
"Yes, this is my utmost sincerity. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, forget it. I don't care. I'm not in a hurry.
If it doesn't work out today, I'll just wait and see. As long as I spread the word, maybe someone will be willing to sell it to me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
I'm sure you know that if I were willing to buy airplanes at normal prices, I would never come to your country.
Wouldn’t it be better for me to go to Old M?
For the same price, their products are at least much better in quality and safety than those produced in your country.
Of course, if you agree to the deal, I can trade with various materials that are scarce in your country.
As long as the materials do not violate the laws of our country, I can help you get them, and I guarantee that they are of the best quality.
