Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2773 - 1966: Reinforcements Arrive One After Another
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
Mr. Santos pointed to the names of the engineers on Bai Xiaosheng’s phone and exclaimed in surprise after a long pause, "These people, can they really come?"
He could hardly believe it.
Each engineer listed there carries a title that is no small thing. They are spread over a dozen developed countries, covering the globe.
To say these people would specifically come for the repair of a tidal power plant in Kustiel, even Santos thought it was "making a mountain out of a molehill."
Even an official invitation might not bring them.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled and answered, "In the next few days, someone will come over. But by then, I’ll need Mr. Santos to help them with long-term visas and arrange accommodations and hospitality."
"That’s no problem!" Santos quickly guaranteed.
If the higher-ups find out, the few million in expenses could lead to such a big turnout, they might be elated.
Then, Santos’s eyes twinkled, and he asked, "I wonder, the Mr. Rogge you mentioned, where is he now?"
Bai Xiaosheng claimed repeatedly that it was Mr. Rogge’s invitation that brought these talents.
Santos was also curious about who this mysterious figure was.
"He used to live in a small village near the power plant, hiding his identity for over a decade," Bai Xiaosheng truthfully answered.
With this revelation, Santos frowned a bit.
Someone who has been reclusive for over a decade, can they really keep up with the responsibilities of a chief engineer considering potential outdated skills and knowledge?
However, perhaps it was just a titular position.
With so many strong hands helping, it should be more than sufficient.
Santos even suspected that the so-called Mr. Rogge had no such influence and that all these engineers were actually invited by Bai Xiaosheng himself...
Of course, whatever the truth is, he didn’t care as long as the matter could be resolved.
After discussing the general situation with Santos, Bai Xiaosheng stood up, bid farewell, and left.
This time, Santos personally escorted him to the front of the city hall.
While walking down the street, Bai Xiaosheng found the business card of spice merchant Leifer and dialed the number.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, on their way back from the island, had heard Bai Xiaosheng mentioning this person.
At that time, neither of them was present and didn’t know what the person looked like.
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng make the call, both of them held their breath and listened attentively.
"Hello, Mr. Leifer?" Bai Xiaosheng smiled as the call connected, "We met in the morning at the ’Blue Sea’ restaurant, you gave me a business card. Yes, I am that Huaxia businessman."
"Has Mr. Bai finally decided to go into the spice business? I need a Huaxia supplier; as long as you can provide a large and quality supply, the price is negotiable!"
On the other end, Leifer replied cheerfully.
Bai Xiaosheng proactively calling him filled him with great expectations.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Leifer," Bai Xiaosheng said, "I don’t intend to be a supplier; I want to establish a new spice company here and partner with you. What do you think?"
This statement left Leifer momentarily stunned on the other end of the line.
It seems that he had underestimated Bai Xiaosheng’s ambition.
"Well... Mr. Bai, I believe being a supplier would benefit both parties, entering an unknown field hastily, especially in a foreign land, is not the behavior of a mature businessman," Leifer advised tactfully.
It was essentially an implicit refusal.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, "Mr. Leifer, the reason I contacted you is because you were the first to mention this business to me when I arrived in Kustiel, and I also think you are a great partner."
"In fact, I can completely go solo!"
"I can obtain the best suppliers in Huaxia, and I can ship the goods to Kustiel by sea or air, with customs clearance smoother than anyone else’s."
Bai Xiaosheng’s tone was calm, yet his words exuded confidence.
"Mr. Leifer, the only thing I value is your current channels. If I want, I can completely reshape the market by investing money. If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to hang up and dismiss my words as arrogance. However, in the future, we might very well meet in the business arena."
His approach was candid and subtly threatening, this was Bai Xiaosheng’s way of conversing.
After a moment of silence on the other end, Leifer finally chuckled softly.
"Truly worthy of being the Executive President of the Greater China Region of the Zhenbei Group, Mr. Bai’s approach is indeed formidable."
These words surprised even Bai Xiaosheng slightly.
"So Mr. Leifer knows my identity."
"Please don’t misunderstand, earlier I just thought you looked familiar. It was only after looking through records that I realized you were a prominent figure," Leifer hurriedly explained with a laugh, "Even if you hadn’t called me, I would have reached out by the latest tomorrow morning."
It was impossible to discern how much of this was true or false.
With someone as shrewd as Leifer, even face-to-face, it’s hard to see through their thoughts.
Even at Bai Xiaosheng’s level, he would likely miss something.
But since it was now out in the open, Bai Xiaosheng became even more direct, "So, Mr. Leifer, what do you think?"
Leifer quickly said, "Personally, I am very willing to cooperate with Mr. Bai, it’s just that when I mentioned controlling 80 to 90% of the spice market here, it was somewhat exaggerated. It’s not just me; I merely gathered a group of merchants for collaboration, I’m just the frontman. If you do want to cooperate with us, shall we meet and discuss?"
"Sure, let me know the time and place, and I’ll bring a friend along then."
Bai Xiaosheng agreed.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to bring Tieluoga along.
