Chapter 8

  Hu Lin was surprised when he learned jogo's intention.

  They don't quite believe that when did India's work efficiency become so high? How could it be done in less than three days?

  However, they were relieved after listening to jogo's explanation. The administrative officer inspected, and the people below naturally worked overtime.

  They had no problem with Singer and Yadra brought by jogo.

  If Jogo came alone, they might feel uncomfortable, because Jogo is still a teenager after all, and no adults are present for such a foreign trade contract. Who knows how Indian newspapers and radio will report it?

  Listening to jogos and Hu Lin's Chinese conversation, Singer smiled. Although he couldn't understand anything, he felt that jogo had really grown up, which made him feel a little strange.

  Adela is looking at the contract provided by Zhao Rui and the others. The contract is in English.

  In fact, jogo understands English. He took a look at it just now, but there is a professional lawyer here, so there is no problem in leaving it to him.

  While Adela was reading the contract, jogo approached Zhao Rui, naturally about the hair export issue.

  "Wigs?" Zhao Rui shook his head and said, "Student jogo, we don't do this business." Zhao Rui's answer made jogo secretly sigh in his heart. The hair trade is actually quite small, unlike cotton, which is widely used. , the transaction volume is also very large, and it is a commodity.

  "Wig, what wig?" Huang Delou came over. He was talking to Hu Lin just now, so he didn't hear clearly what jogo and the others said.

  "Student jogo asked us if we were in the wig business. He has hair to provide." Zhou Fudi couldn't help explaining when he saw Huang Delou coming over, "Why, Huang, are you interested in the wig industry?" Zhou Fu's first voice, "jogo, you really have hair to export, how much?" "

 Eh?" Zhou Fudi looked at Huang Delou in surprise, "Old Huang, do you really want to Doing this business? I haven't heard you mention it."

  Zhao Rui was also a little surprised, and even Hu Lin, who was talking to Singer not far away, turned his head and looked at them.

  No matter what Singer said, he was a Kshatriya, and he knew English. As Jogo's elder, Hu Lin could chat with him.

  "International schools are really different. jogo can learn Chinese so well." Singer thought to himself as he watched jogo and Zhao Rui talking.

  He made a decision to grit his teeth and send his youngest son to an international school next semester. This would be a heavier burden, but it was still bearable.

  He has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son has joined the army, the daughter is married, and the youngest son is one year younger than Jogo.

  "Old Huang, what do you say?" Zhao Rui asked.

  "A friend of mine in Henan is in this business. A few years ago, there were many people who bought hair everywhere and sold it to South Korea." Huang Delou explained, "He said that the wig industry in South Korea It is very developed, but the labor wages in the factory are too high, so I may want to transfer to China. I want to introduce a batch of equipment and technology to make wigs. Wigs are sold well in Europe and the United States, and the price is very high, and the profit is very considerable. This is my Exclusive insider information, what do you guys think? Do you want a partnership? After passing this village, there will be no such store. If you want to do business, you have to be the first to eat crabs, otherwise how can you make a lot of money?"

  Zhou Fudi looked at Zhao Rui: "Old Zhao, what do you think?"

  "To be honest, it's the first time I've heard of it, but according to Lao Huang's analysis, investment should be able to make money now." Zhao Rui thought for a while and said, "But Such a profitable business, are you willing to share the profits with us?" "

  Actually, I'm still a little vain in my heart, after all, it's a new industry I'm not very familiar with. We all work together and make money together. If we lose money, we share it. Everyone won't feel so uncomfortable, right?" Huang Delou replied.

  "You have a good idea." Zhou Fudi said with a smile.

  "Even if we don't make wigs, as long as we buy the hair back, we can sell it to other people in China. Indian hair is of high quality and is very popular internationally, and the purchase price is cheap, so we will definitely not lose money." Huang Delou added Said.

  "Okay, we'll discuss the partnership investment later. jogo, how much can you provide?" Zhao Rui looked at jogo and asked.

  "It's quite a lot. I made a rough estimate, at least three or four thousand kilograms." jogo replied, "I just don't know how much the three bosses are willing to pay." "

  Only three or four tons? Too little." Zhou Fudi grunted.

  "Old Zhou, do you think this is cotton? Is it moving tens, hundreds or even thousands of tons?" Zhao Rui said with some humor.

  Zhou Fudi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. He used to be in the cotton business, and the quantities he handled were usually dozens of tons.

  For example, this time they plan to purchase one thousand bales of cotton, which is 170 tons.

  jogo suddenly said that three or four tons was a lot, which made him unable to react for a while.

  "Old Zhao is right. How much does a person with long hair weigh? Ten people don't know if it weighs one kilogram." Huang Delou obviously knew about the hair industry. He rolled his eyes and hesitated for a moment. He said, "Classmate jogo, I can give you a purchase price now, 1.5 US dollars per kilogram. Oh, it must be women's long hair, not too short, preferably more than 20 centimeters." Hearing this, jogo frowned, he can be sure that this guy is bullying himself for his ignorance.

  I really don't know how to do it, but I have memories of previous lives.

  The main reason why jogo was suspicious was that Huang Delou did not grade the hair, but gave a general price. After all, the price of long hair and short hair is very different, which is unreasonable.

  Although it is true that the temple sells the whole package, in jogo's view, it is the temple's hair that is obtained for free, and it is money when sold, so he doesn't feel bad, but he is different, he has to ensure his own profit, and the classification is certain. Only in this way can profits be maximized.

  He believed in Huang Delou and the others, but he couldn't let himself suffer too much.

  The most demanded long hair is 20-40 centimeters, and the average price in the previous life was about 300-500 US dollars per kilogram.

  Huang Delou's current price is US$1.5 per kilogram. Calculated based on the low price of US$300 per kilogram, that is a 200-fold difference, and there is a nearly a thousand-fold price gap with the most expensive products.

  jogo felt that the price was too low. Even if the current price was low, the difference would not be so great.

  Of course, the conversion based on this alone cannot be said to be too accurate. After all, the time span is too long, nearly forty years. Things that are not valuable now may be sky-high in the future.

  "Boss Huang, as far as I know, different hair lengths have different prices," jogo said.

  Huang Delou was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect jogo to say such a thing. Has this kid ever understood it?

  Seeing Huang Delou's reaction, Zhao Rui laughed and said: "Old Huang, we have to be more honest when doing business, but you can't just want to kill jogo because he is young."

  Zhou Fudi echoed from the side : "Yes, Lao Huang, it's rare for jogo to understand Chinese. With him as a middleman, I believe it can save a lot of trouble. If you really want to do this business for a long time, just give a real number and don't make false claims." Because of the cotton matter, they said Jogo has good senses.

  Huang Delou smiled awkwardly, and then told him what he knew about the hair situation in India.

  Hair from India is mainly exported to European and American countries. It is divided into 5 grades according to different hair lengths: 0.3 US dollars per kilogram for hair below 20 centimeters, 2 US dollars per kilogram for 20 to 50 centimeters, 5 US dollars per kilogram for 50 to 80 centimeters, and 5 US dollars per kilogram for hair between 80 and 80 centimeters. 100 centimeters is US$10 per kilogram, and above 100 centimeters is US$8 per kilogram.

  If it is good, the price can be increased by 20% to 30% on the corresponding level.

  The so-called smooth hair means that the hair is cut from a woman's head and is not messy, and then the hair is tied into a bunch individually. Since it is the same person's hair, and the hair is smooth and unknotted, the quality is better.

  Huang Delou heard the information from his friend. That friend provided hair to South Korea, so he was familiar with this business.

  jogo understood immediately after hearing this. This kind of smooth hair is probably difficult to get in the temple, because the temple shaves hair on a large scale and pursues speed. At most, it is classified according to length. The hair of countless people is mixed together, and it is impossible to cut everyone's hair. Individual hair is tied individually into bundles.

  In other words, if you want to get high-quality smooth hair, you can only collect it from the private sector.

  After listening to Huang Delou's words, Zhao Rui and Zhou Fudi stared at him with strange expressions.

  Huang Delou's face turned slightly red. He knew that his quotation just now was a bit unkind and indeed a bit low.

  jogo didn't think too much about it. It's normal for Huang Delou to have such thoughts. As a businessman, his first thought when purchasing is to lower the price, and he must pay a high price when shipping,learn from mistakes.

  Besides, I haven't suffered a loss yet.

  He believes that the price Huang Delou said this time is not false. As long as the hair is large, he can really make a lot of money.

  Think about the hair in the temple, basically it is over 50 centimeters. If you tidy it up, you can sell it for 5 dollars a kilogram, which is 63 rupees per kilogram, and the temple sells it for 10 rupees per kilogram, which means that every kilogram of hair is sold by yourself. You can earn almost 53 rupees. Counting three tons, that is 159,000 rupees. After deducting some other expenses, Qiao Ge feels that he can earn 150,000 rupees.

  With 170 kilograms of cotton, you can earn 30 US dollars, which is 378 rupees. In this way, you can earn 2.22 rupees per kilogram of cotton.

  Of course, cotton mainly moves in volume.

  Hair can earn 53 rupees per kilogram, while cotton only earns 2.22 rupees. The profit difference is nearly 25 times. Huge profits, real huge profits.

  He wished he could fly to those temples right away and take down all the hair in stock.

  "Boss Huang, why are the ones over 100 centimeters cheaper?" jogo suppressed his excitement and didn't quite understand.

  Zhao Rui and Zhou Fudi also had doubts on their faces. It stands to reason that hair over 100 centimeters is very rare, and rare things are more expensive.

  Huang Delou's expression returned to normal, and he explained: "The longer the hair length within a certain range, the more expensive it is, but when it reaches 100 centimeters or more, although it is rare, the demand is less, so the price is not the highest."

  jogo understood, so he said: "Boss Huang, I didn't buy the hair because I didn't know you needed hair before. Please give me some time. I need to estimate the amount." "Yes, actually you have seven

  days Time, we will charge as much as you have on the day we leave, and the upper limit is 30 tons." Huang Delou laughed.

  Hearing this, jogo felt even more excited.

  He believes that as long as he looks for hair by himself, he will definitely find 30 tons. There are not enough temples in the center of Mumbai, so he can go to the suburbs or even the next-door city to buy it.

  However, Huang Delou's requirement is to see the hair first, then estimate the total amount based on the amount of hair, and then pay the deposit. Jogo has nothing to disagree with.

  This is different from cotton, which has a huge stock, and Zhao Rui and the others are not worried that they won't be able to get it.

  Hair is different.

  Although it was impossible to sign a hair contract immediately and then make a deposit, Jogo quickly adjusted his mentality.

  Although he thought he could take the hair of those temples, it was just his wishful thinking now. What if the temples had a very close relationship with those purchasers and didn't cooperate with him?

  Then his plan to buy a large amount of hair will not be so easy to realize.

  After thinking about it, jogo couldn't sit still.

  After he explained the situation to Zhao Rui and the others, he immediately prepared to go to those temples to settle the matter. If that failed, he would have to go to temples in other areas to look for opportunities.

  As for the contract here, please leave it to Singer and Adela. jogo can trust Singer. If there is no problem, he can just come back and sign it when the time comes.

  While jogo and the others were discussing in the house, a middle-aged man with a somewhat fat body and half-bald hair was sitting in the back seat of a car produced by the Tata Group outside the hotel.

  With a sad look on his face, he opened the car door, closed it again, hesitated for a moment before closing it, and then opened it again. He hesitated like this and repeated it several times, but he still didn't get out of the car.

  The driver had already got out of the car and was waiting at the door. He was originally responsible for opening the door, but now he didn't know what to do in this situation.

  The driver looked at this scene and couldn't help but said: "Sir Bosh, what's bothering you?"

  Puli Bosh is the director of the Bombay Administrator's Office. He is the administrator's personal confidant. His status is very important. He is also one of the important figures in Mumbai.

  Naturally, he came here to find the Chinese trade group, and it was on the order of the administrator.

  The port workers' strike became more and more violent, and the administrator was in dire straits.

  But the canal was blocked, and it was difficult to export goods for a while.

  So he mentioned the Chinese trade group, and then the job fell on him.

  At this time, everyone is not so opposed to it. Exporting some goods to the Chinese can at least solve the job problems of some workers. This is an example set by our own government, telling everyone that there will definitely be more work in the future.

  He was scolding himself all the way here for talking too much. This talkativeness would get him into trouble, wouldn't it?

  Thinking about it, my government was very neglectful towards the Chinese people before. Now that I have come to beg them, I wonder how the Chinese will humiliate him.

  Hearing the driver's question, he couldn't help but snorted.

  "I'm sorry, Your Excellency." The driver immediately slapped himself loudly several times.

  This is not only status, but also comprehensive suppression by caste. Bosh is a Kshatriya class, which makes the driver feel that he has just offended Bosh.

  Bosh didn't say anything, he opened the door and got out of the car.

  You have to face it, and let it be humiliation. As long as the Chinese can buy something, no matter how much, it will be easy for me to go back and do business.

  He came here alone, without a secretary or assistant. He didn't want anyone to see how embarrassed he was in front of the Chinese.

  After Bosh asked about the Chinese's room, he left with a lot of worries.
