Chapter 43: Filing a Complaint
Fang Jian picked up the phone and again called his associate, Bobby. This time, Bobbley was completely baffled upon receiving the call. Jian Fang asked him to travel to various countries, including Germany and others, to purchase eight sets of equipment for him.
After looking through the documents sent by Fang Jian, Bobbley frowned and said, “Hey, dear Fang, I’m in the gold business, not in the business of buying second-hand items.”
The equipment Fang Jian needed was not high-end at all. He simply asked Bobbley to search for discarded and obsolete equipment in these countries. Yes, scrap equipment! Regardless of the model, Fang Jian instructed Bobbley to prioritize purchasing instruments with the lowest possible prices.
Bobbley, being involved in global trade, was well aware of the existence of INCO terms. If Fang Jian wants Bobbley to inquire about high-end equipment, Bobbley would refuse because the risk involved is too great, beyond what his limited capabilities can handle.
However, when Fang Jian asked him to search for these junk devices, Bobbley also felt quite unhappy. “Five million,” Fang Jian slowly said. “What?” Bobbley was puzzled, his face full of confusion. Fang Jian continued, “Help me gather enough information, and I will make the selection. I plan to order eight to ten sets. The reward is five million US dollars.”
Bobbley fell silent for a moment and suddenly burst with great enthusiasm. “Oh, dear Fang, such a small matter. Please feel free to command. I’ll book the tickets right away… let’s go to Prettyland first.”
“No, let’s go to Little Bookland first.”
“Alright.”
Listening to Bobbley’s resolute assurance, Fang Jian smiled and hung up the phone. He had planned to delay for some time, but now it seemed unnecessary. It was practically impossible to import top-notch equipment from abroad into the country. But what if the shipment consisted of junk second-hand goods that were only fit for scrap metal? Fang Jian believed that it would be impossible to stop no matter which country it was.
After arranging everything with Bobbley, Fang Jian tidied up his appearance and arrived at Zhang Liang’s company. When Fang Jian went upstairs this time, he did not encounter any obstacles. The security here seemed to recognize Fang Jian and let him in directly.
Unsurprisingly, Zhang Liang looked at Fang Jian and asked, “Fang Jian, why are you here?”
Fang Jian sighed heavily, his face filled with helplessness and resignation. Zhang Liang became even more surprised. He gestured for Fang Jian to sit down and asked, “Fang Jian, what’s wrong?”
Shaking his head, Fang Jian replied, “Something has happened.”
Zhang Liang’s face turned pale, and he anxiously asked, “What happened?”
Seeing Fang Jian’s hesitant expression, Zhang Liang’s heart skipped a beat, and he said, “Could it be that you made contact with the machines?”
“Yes, I made contact,” Fang Jian confirmed.
“Which machine did you make contact with?”
“The CNC heavy-duty crankshaft milling and composite machining machine, and the multi-axis CNC machine. One is from Little Bookland, and the other is from Germany,” Fang Jian said in a deep voice. “Those are the two models you marked.”
Zhang Liang was overjoyed, almost about to jump up. He extended his hand, wanting to give his old friend a pat on the back. However, halfway through the gesture, his hand abruptly veered off course and landed heavily on his thigh. He was fearful of causing harm accidentally.
“Good job, Fang Jian! You’ve accomplished something significant,” Zhang Liang exclaimed, reaching out to give his old friend a friendly pat. However, halfway through the gesture, his hand abruptly veered off course and landed heavily on his thigh.
Fang Jian sighed and said, “Actually, I’ve also made progress with six other machines.”
Zhang Liang’s mouth opened wide in astonishment. His old classmate truly had extraordinary capabilities!
However, at that moment, Fang Jian’s tone suddenly took a turn. He said, “But… Ah Liang, these two machines might be our final transaction. From now on, our collaboration will come to an end.”
The enthusiasm in Zhang Liang’s heart was instantly extinguished as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. He became incredibly cold and distant in an instant.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Liang asked, “Fang Jian, what happened? Did someone notice something? Is that why you’re making this decision?”
Fang Jian silently nodded and said, “Yes, someone noticed.”
“Which organization? Can we help in any way?”
“It’s a domestic company.”
Zhang Liang was dumbfounded, almost thinking something was wrong with his ears.
