Chapter 212 You Can Even Think of Writing an IOU
On the way back, Chen Yan was still unable to calm down sitting in the car. At this time, Tang Caiying spoke and Chen Yan embarrassedly used his feet to dig out a five-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
"Commander Chen, I like this item. How much do you want to pay?"
"Money? What money!".
"Hey, are you planning to take it for free?" Tang Caiying said coquettishly.
"Ahem".
Chen Yan coughed twice in embarrassment.
He wanted to give money, but the conditions did not allow it!
Before going out, Chen Yan calculated the gold bars in his hand and the cash, and estimated that it would be more than 150,000 yuan, of course there would be a lot of counterfeit currency.
However, Chen Yan knew clearly that businessmen in Shanghai would definitely not accept such waste paper which was despised even by its opening.
"Sister, I'm that kind of person. I definitely won't take it for free. Just name your price."
"Well, we did some research at the beginning. Even if they are second-hand, these things are worth about one million. Since you are not outsiders, I will show you half of them. How about 50? They are all the company's property and need to be recorded in the accounts. This is the best I can do."
"50 is not expensive," Chen Yan said angrily.
Chen Yan knew that a Type 50 production line alone was worth around yuan, but the key point was that there was no demand for it.
However, Chen Yan still plans to continue trading with Charles. He doesn't mind having too many production lines, he would like to have as many as possible.
But if he gave out 50 in one go, he wouldn’t be able to buy much more later.
After all, to support the entire Eighth Route Army's arms industry, three or five production lines are far from enough, and we must have as many as possible.
"Commander Chen is an open-minded man. We have agreed on the 50 yuan," Tang Caiying said with a strange look in her eyes.
People say the Eighth Route Army is poor, but Chen Yan is quite generous. He is young and rich!
"Sister, um...I want to ask, what method does your company use to record accounts?"
"Dollars, cash, gold bars are all fine, as long as it's hard currency, usually cash."
"Let me ask again, is it possible for your company to adopt a new accounting model?"
"What mode?" Tang Caiying looked at him puzzledly.
"It will be recorded in written form. At that time, I will write on a piece of paper: Chen Yan owes 50 yuan today, and he will pay it back in the future according to the interest."
"What the hell?" Tang Caiying exclaimed, scaring the commander so much that he stepped on the car to stop.
"Boss Chen, you could even think of writing an IOU?"
Looking at Tang Caiying's contemptuous eyes, Chen Yan's eyes began to wander.
"Just a joke, hahaha... isn't it funny..."
Watching Chen Yan talking to himself, Tang Caiying felt more and more that this guy was here to get something for nothing.
......
After returning to the Tang Mansion, the two began to discuss the transaction in detail.
"Sister, this batch of goods is indeed not expensive, and the things are hard to come by. If you can sell them to me, it can be regarded as the friendship between us siblings.
But to be honest, I do have financial difficulties. Can you do me a favor?"
Hearing this, Tang Caiying's heart skipped a beat, "It's over, I guessed right, he really is getting something for nothing, and he was pretending to be so generous before."
She shook the coffee in her hand and glanced at him unhappily: "Our company does not accept big liars."
"I'm not kidding you. I'll pay you 30 yuan in cash for this batch of goods, and I promise to pay the rest of the money within 3 months."
Tang Caiying really didn't expect Chen Yan to really pay. She thought Chen Yan wanted to take advantage of Rudy's position and eat for free! Of course, she would never do such a thing. The first socialite is not a pushover.
This plan is not impossible. It is normal in the business world to receive the goods first and then pay, but it is based on trust between the two parties.
Tang Caiying's pupils dimmed. It was her first time doing business, so it would be a lie to say she wasn't worried.
After much deliberation and considering Rudy's situation, she finally decided to make the deal.
“Okay, now that you have paid the money, you can take the equipment away.
I have something to do in the afternoon, you and Xiaodi should stay at home."
Just as Tang Caiying was about to go upstairs to change her clothes, she turned around and looked at Chen Yan meaningfully:
"Don't forget what you said, you owe me a favor," and then he left.
Ever since Chen Yan and Tang Caiying had a great conversation last night, the Tang Mansion completely lifted the ban on Rudy's access.
Chen Yan didn't even have time to rest and took Rudy back to their rented apartment.
In the apartment, Chen Yan, Li Yunlong, Li San and Rudy sat together, looking very comfortable.
"After so many days out, the mission is finally taking shape."
Li Yunlong looked at Rudy with satisfaction, "I didn't expect that you would really be reborn and help us solve such a big problem. You are really a treasure. Based on this time, you don't have to do anything in the future. My army will support you."
Rudy smiled and muttered to himself:
"Uh~, my character in the team is so bad!"
"Rudy has made great contributions this time and must be rewarded. Moreover, he is very talented. I plan to promote him to deputy director of the arsenal as a reward when I go back."
Chen Yan's words made Rudy's eyes light up, not because of how high his position was, but because of the recognition that Chen Yan showed him.
"Everyone has been moving these days. The transaction has not been completed yet, and there are transportation issues involved later. North China is now under blockade by the Japanese, and transportation back will definitely require layers of inspection, and we need to use our brains."
"Li San, tomorrow you will send a telegram to Political Commissar Zhao, asking him to keep a portion of the living expenses, and then send the remaining cash to Shanghai by someone.
By the way, let’s report our work progress to the chief to save him from worrying.
Rudy, go home and ask your sister if she can help with the transportation issue.
Lao Li is responsible for contacting the comprador under Charles to see how the goods are doing."
After receiving the order, everyone was about to get busy with their own work, when Chen Yan immediately asked:
"By the way, have the Shanghai underground party comrades contacted us in the past two days?"
"No, no one has come to visit in the past two days."
Chen Yan couldn't help but frown.
"Are the comrades here so inefficient? They can afford to wait, but I can't."
It’s not that the Shanghai underground party comrades are not working, but that they are now too busy to take care of themselves.
Since the incident at Four Seasons Bookstore, two more intelligence stations have been shut down one after another.
At this time, Li Hong looked at Wang Hu anxiously, "There is a traitor inside. It has been so long, and you haven't found any clues. How can the organization be confident in entrusting you with more important missions?"
Wang Hu's eyes dimmed. After Team Leader Li was injured, the task of identifying traitors was handed over to him. Not only did he fail to find the traitor, he also lost two contact points.
"Team leader, you haven't recovered yet, please be careful about your wound."
"Oh, forget it. You don't have to worry about Hu Zi's matter. Go and find Wang Shuxin."
A hint of hesitation flashed across Wang Hu's eyes, but he still replied, "I'll go now."
