Chapter 1073 Transaction Cancelled
Seeing the Huo family's tough attitude, the crew hesitated for a long time and finally agreed to let the Huo family inspect the goods first.
They have traveled across the ocean for such a long time to get here. If the transaction is really terminated, they will definitely be the ones who suffer the loss.
However, they were caught off guard by the Huo family's tough attitude. Considering the goods, they should not be able to see any problems with them given the Huo family's level.
After getting permission to inspect the goods, Chief Engineer Gao immediately came over with great interest.
The tonnage of the ship is not small, and it is loaded with a lot of second-hand equipment. After checking the conditions of several pieces of equipment, Chief Engineer Gao couldn't help but sigh that these unwanted second-hand equipment are much better than most of the equipment in the country.
The equipment is good, but it is still some distance away from the industrial mother machine, which also makes Chief Engineer Gao a little disappointed.
It’s no wonder that they can sell it to Hong Kong Island. Most people know the situation of the Huo family. Although it can be transported all the way here without any obstacles, it turns out that there is still nothing they want.
"You've seen enough, right? When can we pay?"
You have to understand that these are sensitive devices, and every minute of delay means an extra minute of risk."
The Huo family members on the side curled their lips.
Risk? We're already on their territory, what risk could there be?
In order to deal with any unexpected situations, they arranged a large number of people at the dock.
As long as the situation is not right, all they need to do is shout and their people will immediately take control of the freighter.
Now that they are here, as long as the goods on this ship are what they need, there is no way they can escape.
However, the Huo family still looked at Chief Engineer Gao. They certainly didn't want to use tough measures if they could have a normal transaction.
After all, we are businessmen, and harmony is the most important thing.
It’s just that this batch of goods is too important. Once the mainland has these equipment, its industrial capacity will be improved.
Of course, the Huo family will have better and more products and can make more money.
"Chief Engineer Gao, how is it?"
Chief Engineer Gao sighed upon hearing this and spoke.
“The equipment is good, but there is still some gap compared to industrial mother machines.
It's barely usable, and still a long way from being high-end equipment."
The Huo family was disappointed when they heard this, then turned around and glared at the crew members.
"Is this the industrial machine you were talking about? You've gone too far. This deal is now canceled. You can ship it wherever you want."
Before the transaction, Chen Changan sent three telegrams in a row, repeatedly reminding the Huo family that they must not pay unless they are sure of the goods.
The fear was that they would be cheated, so they specially arranged for Chief Engineer Gao to supervise the equipment personally, for fear that the Huo family would not understand it.
“These devices are like industrial mother machines for you.
Even if we gave you high-end equipment, you wouldn’t use it.”
Chief Engineer Gao looked at the other person and said these words with an arrogant look on his face, and his face turned red with anger.
After all, I am a technician, and it is a fact that my technology is not as good as others. Even though I was belittled by others, I didn't know how to refute them.
The Huo family will not indulge each other.
"Whether it can be used or not is our business. Doing business requires integrity.
There is no such thing as an industrial mother machine, but our pickup trucks are still selling well all over the world.
What era is it now? Why are you still acting so superior? Who are you trying to show off to?
If you ask me, that war decades ago wasn't brutal enough. It's only been a few years, and you think you're up to it again."
Mentioning war obviously touched the other party's sore spot, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"The goods have been delivered, you can't refuse them, you must buy them at the price we agreed on.
Otherwise, we will announce to the world that your Huo family is the spokesperson for the mainland and is ready to help the mainland purchase contraband.
I wonder how your Huo family's business will continue to thrive in the future."
The Huo family was so angry that they laughed. How stupid must the other party be to say such a thing?
"Go ahead and promote it! You even dare to sell contraband, and you're not afraid of sanctions."
The other party was silent for a moment. It was obvious that once this matter was exposed, it would not benefit either party.
Then he looked at the captain beside him, and his meaning was very clear: it was you who came up with this idea, so you decide what to do in this situation.
In fact, the price the company gave him was much lower than what he asked for.
After all, it is just a batch of second-hand equipment that is not high-end, and I am very satisfied to be able to recover the cost.
But this shipyard has been traveling to the Chinese coast all year round and is very familiar with the situation here.
To put it bluntly, it is to help some people smuggle. In order to prevent the news from leaking, the other party will accept it even if the price is temporarily raised.
Obviously, he still thought that this time it would be the same as before, but he didn't expect the other party to be so tough.
After the two men whispered for a long time, the crew member glared at the captain fiercely before continuing to speak.
“Well, we’ve already delivered the goods, and your technicians are on site.
I can guarantee that these devices will be useful to you as well.
As long as you don't make us go there in vain this time, I will definitely sell you something good next time, what do you think?"
Obviously, this crew member was a little scared. He came to the Far East with a mission. If the transaction could not be completed, he would need to pay the shipping fee himself.
Such a large sum of money was obviously beyond his personal ability to bear.
The captain had just admitted his mistake to him, but was only willing to give him a small reduction in freight.
From the moment they met, the Huo family had always maintained a tough attitude, which really scared him.
Of course, this batch of equipment can also be shipped to other regions for sale, but the price cannot be compared with here in any way.
As long as he completed the tasks assigned by the company, he would receive a large bonus. After thinking it over, he softened his decision.
The Huo family doesn't care about these things. No matter where they have done business over the years, they have never felt as frustrated as today.
It was originally a good deal, but ended up being humiliated.
"The deal has been canceled. I won't make things difficult for you. Please leave."
After saying that, the Huo family protected Chief Engineer Gao and got off the boat directly. The crew members and the captain were dumbfounded.
The equipment on this ship is worthless in Germany. After drifting on the sea for so long, if the captain cannot get the freight, all these months of work will be in vain.
He immediately asked the crew.
"Now that we've delivered the goods to Hong Kong Island, shouldn't your company settle the shipping costs?"
The crew members on board did not expect that the captain would be such a person.
“If you hadn’t asked me to ask for such a high price, how could this have happened?
Now the deal is off, and it's all your fault.
Now you still have the nerve to talk to me about shipping costs?"
"I'm doing this so you can earn more. This is for your own good.
If the transaction is not successful, it is a problem with your product. What does it have to do with me?
Remember you are on a ship now. If you dare not pay the freight, do you believe I will let you go to the sea to feed the fish? "
