For example, the RuiJing Group of Haiqing Group was like this. Before it became a part of Qin Hai's name, a large part of the business of Ruijing Group was in the import and export trade, and with Qin Hai and Lin Qingya taking over, they brought many customers from the period of Yifang into Haiqing Group. Therefore, the volume of the import and export trade of Haiqing Group was even larger than that of the period of Yifang.
As for the current Hai Qing Group, after Lin Qingya's drastic reforms, the main profit point was actually import and export trade. Property development was still in its infancy, so it was still too early to talk about the benefits. Skin care products had just met with adversity, so it was hard to say if they could successfully make a comeback.
Liu Qingmei understood the situation of the Hai Qing Conglomerate very well so after hearing Lin Qingya's words she could not help but slightly furrow her brows and say: "There is no time to lose, hurry up and go back. First find out what is going on before calling me."
The moment Lin Qingya and Qin Hai walked into the office, the head of the Foreign Trade Department walked into Lin Qingya's office and reported the details of the matter to them.
Chairman, CEO Lin, the current situation is like this. The customs said that we found a batch of ivory in our container, and they want to seize our goods according to the relevant laws. They also need to conduct an investigation.
"Minister Li, if I'm not wrong, there are no ivory in this batch of goods, right?" Lin Qingya asked with a frown.
Minister Li placed a copy of the declaration doc.u.ment on Lin Qingya's table.
Lin Qingya carefully read through the declaration doc.u.ments and asked, "How many tusks do you have?"
"The customs department refused to give any details. Later on, I found out from a friend that the quant.i.ty was relatively large, around 30 kilograms."
Qin Hai asked, "How many containers did we get seized?"
"Five!" Minister Li replied respectfully, "This s.h.i.+pment was entrusted to us by Changfeng Mining Group to import from Africa. It is also our first cooperation with Changfeng Group. According to the agreement, if this cooperation goes smoothly, Changfeng Group will consider us as a long-term partner of their group. If they are unable to receive the minerals in time due to our circ.u.mstances, not only will we have to bear all the losses, we will also have to pay double the losses to Changfeng Group. "
A layer of sweat immediately appeared on Department Head Li's forehead. He wanted to wipe it off but did not dare to. He was afraid that Qin Hai would blame him for not having negotiated the contract with Changfeng Group.
"I've seen the contract with Changfeng Group. There's no problem." Lin Qingya took over the conversation and explained to Qin Hai about the basic situation of the import and export industries, "Double compensation is indeed a bit high, but there are too many companies doing import and export business in our Spring River. Some of them are even stronger than our company." If you don't, someone else will take the business away from you, and there's nothing you can do about it. "
Department Head Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly added, "Changfeng Group needs to import over 50 million US dollars worth of minerals from abroad. If we can achieve long-term cooperation with them, it will be of great benefit to our company."
Qin Hai nodded and said, "It's fine. I don't really understand, so I asked a few more questions. It's not that your job wasn't done well."
Lin Qingya frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "This is too strange, we won't smuggle. That's for sure, it's impossible for the African side to send so many ivory in containers for no reason, otherwise their losses would be huge. Furthermore, we have worked with our partners in Africa for a long time, so they shouldn't harm us in this way."
Department Head Li said, "After I received the news, I had already confirmed with Africa that they absolutely did not place the ivory in our container."
Minister Li nodded and immediately left.
After the door closed, Lin Qingya leaned back in her chair and said with a frown, "This is really strange, something like this actually happened." If the ivory wasn't put in Africa, it would have to be put in after entering the pa.s.s, but the probability of that happening is so small that it's really unthinkable. "
Lin Qingya's heart stirred as she asked, "You also think that someone is deliberately harming us?"
"Didn't you say very clearly that if no one was intentionally harming us, then it was these tusks that entered the container themselves out of thin air?" Qin Hai bent down and put his arm around Lin Qingya as he spoke to her.
Lin Qingya pushed him away and said in a displeased tone, "You're still in the mood to mess around at a time like this. Hurry up and go sit down!"
"Do you want me to go over to the customs office?" Qin Hai continued to stick his face close to Lin Qingya's as he said, "I don't want to see you worried about this."
"You'd better not go. Customs is not an ordinary place. You have never dealt with them before. If you can't handle it properly, it will only make things worse." Lin Qingya turned her head and smiled at Qin Hai. "I know you care about me, but I can handle this myself. You don't need to worry about it, okay?"
"Don't worry about me. You have to kiss me!" Qin Hai pouted.
Lin Qingya unhappily rolled her eyes at this fellow. She could only close her eyes and give Qin Hai a gentle kiss on the mouth, retracting the moment she touched him. She then bashfully pursed her lips, like a little girl who had eaten her mother's hidden snacks.
