Chapter 187 Confirm the business
Lin Mo and Lin Wenhua did what they said, and returned to the hall together.
However, Xu Guyu was not in the first floor lobby at this time. The large safe in the secret room on the third floor was about to open, and Xu Guyu had already gone up.
Lin Mo and Lin Wenhua heard the news and rushed to Chen Maofeng's office on the third floor.
As soon as they entered the office, Lin Mo and the others saw a bookshelves in the office being pushed aside, and the voices of people inside came from there.
Lin Mo and the others entered the secret room and saw four or five people gathered next to a tall safe. One of them wore a stethoscope and was locked in the password of the safe.
"Finished..." The man who was unbuttoning the password shouted, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, took the key and inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted it gently.
"Crack...Crack..." The sound of the machine spring and the cabinet door opening sounded one after another, the safe was slowly opened, and everyone's eyes also looked in.
The safe is divided into four layers, the uppermost layer is filled with file bags, the third layer is stacked with banknotes, the second layer is filled with cloth bags, and the lowermost layer is filled with silver dollars wrapped in red paper, and a box is placed on the other side.
Seeing this situation, the few people who had just experienced the situation at Chen Maofeng's family were all a little disappointed. Obviously, this place should be just a deposit place for Qingmao Commercial Bank. The three floors below should be some property.
And since the file bag on the top layer is placed with these belongings, it shouldn't be anything that is very confidential.
As expected, when Lin Mo and his friends opened a file bag, I found that what I had only signed some contracts signed by Qingmao Trading Company, and they were all just contracts for ordinary goods.
As for the three layers below, the banknotes are all scattered currencies of various countries, and the cloth bag is filled with silver dollars, and the wooden box contains some big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker.
After the few people carefully looked at the files in the file bag without any problems, Lin Wenhua called someone, moved all the property and documents inside, and quietly said something to Xu Guyu.
Not long after, only Lin Mo, Lin Wenhua and Xu Guyu were left in Chen Maofeng's office, and the last person who went out closed the door.
After the door was closed, the three of them sat down on the sofa in the office. Lin Wenhua told Xu Guyu in detail about the cause and consequence of the rabbit skin business.
Xu Guyu pondered for a while and spoke to Lin Mo: "Lin Mo, we have no experience in doing business. Tell me about the detailed situation and operations."
Lin Mo heard this, thought for a while, and said, "Secretary Xu, first of all, you need one or some foreigners to serve as agents, so that he can be responsible for the specific operation and contact and construction of factories in Australia."
"The second is that you need to contact each other in China to provide distribution channels and warehouses so that the goods can be stored and distributed quickly after they arrive."
"In the end, there is funds. You don't need too much of these funds. It's about 100,000 US dollars. Then you can use the money you earn to run the company."
"After making these preparations, you will ask the agent to bring the funds and go directly to Australia and the local government, farmers, hunters to contact, form companies and set up factories."
"The factory set up must have the ability to handle rabbit skin and rabbit meat, and it is best to have rabbit skin tanning factories, bacon factories, and canning factories."
"Wait..." After hearing this, Xu Guyu quickly stopped Lin Mo and asked in confusion: "What you said before, didn't you choose a batch of good skins to transport them back to China? Why are you setting up a factory again and dealing with rabbit meat again?"
Hearing Xu Gu Yu say this, Lin Mo explained with a smile: "Secretary Xu, my method is just the first step, and it is just a way to gather funds. This kind of business can only be done once, and it cannot last long."
Hearing Lin Mo's explanation, Xu Guyu frowned and said, "Isn't this a good thing to do? It saves trouble and starts a long-term business. According to you, those furs are not valuable in nature, and there will be no profit at that time?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "Secretary Xu, this matter is still a long-term business to make money. This practice of making only one profit can only earn a fraction of the money."
"Chief Xu, you may not know much about the situation of Australian rabbits. There were no rabbits in Australia. This is an invasive alien species that has been introduced from Europe."
"The reason for their flooding is that they have too fast birth and that there are no natural enemies in Australia. Now they are very large in number, and even to the point where they cannot be killed. They are destroying pasture farms everywhere at this time."
"Think about it, this rabbit is a scourge in Australia. The cost of our getting it can be almost zero. We even help hunt and kill. The local government and farmers and ranchers will pay us to hunt and kill."
"In addition, rabbits are now huge and reproductive, and it is difficult to control the number of people not to grow. As long as there is no way to solve these rabbits once and for all, then this business can be continued. Think about how good a business this is?"
Speaking of this, Lin Mo leaned over to Xu Gu Yu with a mysterious look and whispered: "Secretary Xu, when I saw the news of the flood of hares in Australia, I also saw that Australia introduced foxes to deal with hares."
"But after carefully studying the situation in Australia, I found that this method did not work, because hares move quickly, while a large number of animals move slowly in Australia, such as some poultry and livestock and Australian local small animals, and foxes have no natural enemies in Australia."
When Xu Guyu heard Lin Mo's words, he was a little shocked and hurriedly approached Lin Mo's side and whispered: "What do you mean is that when the foxes flood, we can go and sell fox fur again."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded and said, "That's it. Speaking of which, the price and quality of hare skin are not the best among furs, and fox skin can be regarded as good fur."
"Now we take rabbit skin as an opportunity to grow our business in Australia, and we will naturally be able to enter the fox skin business."
"As for rabbit meat processing factories, this is mainly about making the business bigger. Once there are more factories, they will be able to provide a large number of positions, and countless people will work in it, and then they will be able to form a monopoly in this industry."
"And rabbit meat processing plants are not without money to make money. After all, Australians do not eat rabbit meat very much. The cost of processing these rabbit meat is very low. After processing them into cans, they can be sold to the whole world at an extremely low price. We still have money to make money at that time."
In fact, Lin Mo also retained a lot of news. If things like cans are made, once World War II breaks out, especially the European War and the Pacific War, they will definitely make a lot of money, especially in Australia, a place like Australia that has not been affected by the war.
Moreover, Australia's ecological environment is different from those in other continents. The flood of organisms is simply wave after wave, and the flood of large animals is also full of them.
Nowadays, only hares are flooded. In the future, there will be foreign foxes, camels, buffaloes and carp called "water rabbits" locally; in the end, even local species have joined in, and kangaroos and seals have flooded.
After listening to the story of Lin Mo, Xu Gu Yu thought for a long time before continuing: "Lin Mo, then you can continue to talk about how to do it."
Lin Mo nodded and said, "After setting up a company in Australia, I will start to select a batch of good skins and transport them to the country. Taking advantage of the situation of the country's goods, I will make a big profit at a high price. At that time, the company can use this large amount of funds to operate without letting us invest in it."
"But for this purpose, the large number of rabbit skins on the second floor cannot be taken action now, so as not to attract the attention of those who are interested."
Hearing Lin Mo say this, Xu Guyu nodded and said, "Then we won't sell this batch of rabbit skins to your house for now, but our Military Intelligence Department does not have that large space for storage. I wonder if it can be stored in your warehouse first?"
"This is OK. I can ask my family to store it in a special warehouse, so that there will be no problems."
After hearing Lin Mo's promise, Xu Guyu didn't say much, thought about it carefully, frowned and said, "I agree with your solution, and the boss should not refuse."
"But there is a problem, that is, we don't have a suitable foreigner to act on this matter, and our work will basically not contact these foreign businessmen. Can't we find a suitable person now?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Secretary Xu, there are two people suitable for me, but I just don't know if you dare to use it."
After hearing this, Xu Guyu let go of his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, what's going on with these two people?"
After hearing this, Lin Mo told her about Herbert and Scott in detail, and continued: "Secretary Xu, Herbert originally operates a fur business, so it's quite appropriate for him to do this."
"And I have carefully identified him. He should be a Jew in Germany. You also know that Germany's attitude towards Jews is now unable to go back, and other countries' attitude towards them is not good, so he can use it with confidence."
"As for Scott, he appeared as an arms dealer in Nanjing, but I think his identity is not that simple. His profession may be the same as you."
"But I think this person has a wide energy and connections, and he can get a lot of things that ordinary people cannot do. The main reason for letting him participate is to use his connections to open up the road and purchase equipment."
After hearing Lin Mo say this, Xu Guyu thought for a moment: "I think it's OK to that Herbert, but is it a bit of a fire to let that Scott participate?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled and said, "Chief Xu, Scott is an American, and Australia is the territory of the British."
