Chapter 1167 A Difficult Problem!
The next morning, at Shanghai Pudong Airport, Wei Shang stood at the exit, waiting anxiously.
A short while later, five beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, came out, and Wei Shang quickly went to greet them.
"Eldest sister, sisters-in-law, and sisters-in-law! You've finally arrived!" Wei Shang said.
"What? You're getting impatient because I asked you to wait two days?" Wei Hong asked Wei Shang with an unfriendly look.
"No, how could that be?" Wei Shang quickly waved his hand, indicating that he did not mean it that way.
"You still have the nerve to be anxious? If it weren't for the trouble you caused, we'd still be having fun in Northeast China right now! You've ruined our plans!" Wei Hong said irritably.
"Big sister, I had no choice but to do this. Who would have thought that making money would be so difficult? I didn't know any of this before!" Wei Shang said helplessly.
"You dared to let them bring four ships full of goods without knowing anything? If you didn't know anything, you should have found out before you acted! You were so reckless to let them act, and then you found out you didn't understand anything after they arrived!" Wei Hong scolded Wei Shang, pulling his ear.
"Oh dear, big sister, I didn't mean to either! Who would have thought that something that's guaranteed to make a profit would be so troublesome?" Wei Shang said, bowing and pleading.
"Sister, please let him off the hook. He's a deputy director after all. What if someone sees him?" Sun Xiaomin couldn't help but advise Wei Shang, seeing his embarrassed state.
"Your eighth sister-in-law pleaded for you this time, but if you act so carelessly again next time, see how I deal with you!" Wei Hong said with a hint of exasperation.
Wei Shang followed Wei Hong outside with a pitiful look on his face. Sun Xiaomin and the others could only smile helplessly and follow him out of the airport.
After the group left the airport, Wei Shang drove his business van with several of his wives to Wei Hong's small building on Huanghe Road.
This place has been prepared in advance as a place for the group to stay during this period, since all the other houses have been rented out, so they can only make do with staying here for now.
"Seventeen, what kind of goods were in that batch of South Korean cargo this time?" Sun Xiaomin asked Wei Shang, sitting in the private room of Zhang's Private Kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, this time it's mainly some electronic products, like tape recorders, Walkmans, mobile phones and some other things, and there are also two ships carrying about five thousand cars!" Wei Shang handed the list that Ding Qing had given him to Sun Xiaomin.
Sun Xiaomin took a look and found that they were indeed some of the most sought-after items in China.
"Seventeen, has this batch of goods been declared to customs? What's the price after adding all the tariffs?" Shi Xiaona asked curiously.
“The prices are not much different from those in China, about 70% of the domestic price, which means we have about 30% profit. But this is based on the domestic market price. However, even in Shanghai, these goods are hard to find, especially the cars! Once they clear customs, they will probably be snapped up very quickly, and the prices may have to be raised!” Wei Shang said.
"If that's the case, why did you send us here? Can't we handle it locally in Shanghai? After all, it's only four ships' worth of cargo!" Xiao Suizi asked.
"Because this batch of goods is extra, no one has the capacity to take it all right now. If we sell it in small batches, it will take too long, and South Korea can't wait that long!" Wei Shang said helplessly.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, how much capital do we have at our disposal?" Sun Xiaomin asked Xiao Suizi curiously.
"The clothing company has about 100 million yuan. As you know, after we make money, we invest it in real estate, so we don't have much cash on hand," Xiao Suizi said.
“One hundred million? That’s not enough to buy this batch of goods!” He Qing said.
“So, according to Wei Qing’s wishes, we’re going to invite Gao Qiqiang, Boss Bao, and Tan Zongming to have dinner together. Since Sister-in-law Fourteen’s company has invested a lot of cash in the project by the Huangpu River, she and Ye Jinyan from Jingyan Group will not be involved!” Wei Shang said.
"What about Mingzhu's Tianqiao Club? If the Tianqiao Club is out of money, I think the Lian family is still quite wealthy, right?" Hong Xin asked curiously.
"I've informed Uncle Lian, but he hasn't decided yet whether to get involved. After all, they already have quite a few projects to invest in, and things can't be messed up in Mingzhu!" Wei Shang said helplessly.
Although the Lian family is wealthy, they have to use that money to ensure the operation of the Tianqiao Society and also to guard against the big capitalists who might take advantage of their misfortune.
Although the mainland is about to return to China, John Bull has not given up, and many people still support him. They are still willing to cause trouble for the mainland.
The main task of the Lian family and even the Tianqiao Society is to prevent them from retaliating, so they have no ability to carry out other projects. Otherwise, Situ Haonan would not have sought help from Wei Shang to do some international trade. Although it is profitable, the returns are too slow.
"This is really troublesome. What do you think the Fourteenth Prince and his wife mean?" Shi Xiaona asked.
"I don't know either. This whole thing was really abrupt. I should have found out the details before letting South Korea ship the goods!" Wei Shang said sadly.
"Alright, you're a real man. Since things have come to this, just focus on solving the problem. Don't wallow in self-pity!" Xiao Suizi said.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, actually, if we can quickly resolve the issue of those cars, the rest are just minor things that we can easily handle!" Wei Shang said.
"The real challenge lies with all those cars! With so many cars suddenly flooding the market, who can handle it all?" Xiao Suizi said helplessly.
"If that doesn't work, how about we ask South Korea to postpone it for a while? Didn't Wei Shang say that they're considered our own people too? We can pay after the goods are delivered, right?" He Qing asked.
"The main reason is that this batch of goods was pooled together by several companies in South Korea to test the waters. It's not just our own stuff! Others might not be willing to do it, and if we do, it will make us seem less powerful, which could bring some changes to future cooperation!" Wei Shang said.
"It seems we still need to think of a solution!" Xiao Suizi said.
"Yang Chao, slow down! You're so impulsive!" Just then, Wei Hong's voice came from outside the door, and the group knew that their eldest sister had arrived.
The door opened quickly, and Yang Chao was the first to enter. "Hello, Seventeenth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, Eighth Aunt, Ninth Aunt, Twelfth Aunt, and Seventeenth Aunt!" Yang Chao greeted them one by one as he entered the room.
"Xiao Chao, it's been a long time! When are you on vacation so your mom can take you to Beiping? Your cousins are waiting for you!" Xiao Suizi said with a smile, looking at the sensible Yang Chao.
“He can’t even finish his homework, and he wants to go to his grandma’s house? Dream on!” Wei Hong said as she followed him into the house.
