Chen Yiyang took a piece of jewelry handed over by Natasha.
Then he discovered that these were all made from mammoth ivory.
Although mammoth ivory is also ivory, it’s different from the ivory banned for trade dostically.
Fossilized mammoth ivory falls under the category of jewelry, which can be brought back to the country.
So, Chen Yiyang accepted the gift from Natasha.
Apart from mammoth ivory, wolf teeth are also sold here, and there are wolf and bear specins for sale.
Perhaps because these specins were made a long ti ago and the technique wasn’t mature yet.
These specins have an eerie feel.
Chen Yiyang didn’t plan to play the leader of a grassland tribe, with a bear head underneath him.
So he left here uninterestedly.
Soon, Chen Yiyang and Natasha walked into the indoor area here, where there were many stalls selling large art pieces or collectibles compared to outside.
Of course, there were also stalls selling badges.
Then Chen Yiyang discovered that the badges sold here were only one hundred Rubles each, two to three tis cheaper than outside.
Which ant the badge Chen Yiyang bought earlier was overpriced.
No wonder their stall was at the front; the items were much more expensive there.
Chen Yiyang glanced around and found many old photos and various paintings for sale here.
Among them were so paintings with Huaxia style.
However, the style and material of these paintings suggested they were foreign trade products from the dostic eighties and nineties, not really valuable.
He strolled around for about an hour.
At this mont, Chen Yiyang finally arrived at the place hinted at in the bargain intelligence.
This indoor shop sold various large carved items.
The pair of Tang Dynasty mud sculpture Guardian Divine Beasts ntioned in the intelligence were among them.
Chen Yiyang pretended he and Natasha were tourists who happened to walk in.
He picked so items and asked for their prices.
The items for sale here were large, so their prices were quite expensive.
Chen Yiyang imdiately turned to Natasha, saying the items here were too expensive.
Though Natasha hadn’t rehearsed with Chen Yiyang beforehand.
She was very in sync at this mont.
Natasha, holding Chen Yiyang’s hand, said they should just leave directly.
Then the shopkeeper walked over and stopped them.
"I have so Asian-style carvings here; maybe you’ll be interested."
Chen Yiyang imdiately said he wasn’t in a hurry to leave and could take a look.
The shopkeeper then led Chen Yiyang to the corner of the shop, in front of the Guardian Divine Beasts.
"How much for these two?" Chen Yiyang asked.
"Two hundred thousand Rubles each, but if you buy both together, only three hundred thousand Rubles."
"Too expensive." Before Chen Yiyang could say anything, Natasha mumbled in Russian, complaining quietly, and tried to pull Chen Yiyang away.
"How about two hundred and fifty thousand Rubles for both?" The shopkeeper hurriedly lowered the price upon seeing Chen Yiyang about to leave.
"One hundred thousand Rubles for both," Chen Yiyang nonchalantly replied with a price.
"No, no, no, one hundred thousand Rubles won’t do." The shopkeeper, seeing Chen Yiyang’s interest in buying, thought for a mont and said, "Two hundred thousand Rubles for both."
"How about one hundred and fifty thousand?" Chen Yiyang made a counteroffer.
After so bargaining between them, Chen Yiyang finally bought the pair of Guardian Divine Beasts for one hundred and seventy thousand Rubles.
Once he bought the items, Chen Yiyang hired a bodyguard to find a truck to transport these two fellows.
On the way back, he took photos and sent them to dostic experts with few people around.
Soon, he found out that this pair of Guardian Divine Beasts were similar to the ones unearthed from the Mogao Grottoes.
Judging from their appearance, they should be the fifth son Suanni among the nine sons of the dragon.
They resemble lions, enjoy smoke, and like to sit, often appearing on incense burners.
Such large Tang Dynasty mud sculpture Suanni Guardian Divine Beasts were quite rare relics.
He transported them back to the hotel he was staying at.
The hotel manager proactively helped Chen Yiyang find a warehouse to store the items he bought.
In the evening, Chen Yiyang took Natasha and the junior accountant to Gena’s villa to discuss business.
At the villa, besides Gena, Chen Yiyang also t so other people.
The group first drank and socialized to exchange feelings.
After a few drinks, a middle-aged man, clearly having served in the army, sat across from Chen Yiyang and spoke.
"Over the past few months, we have indeed imported a lot of all-terrain vehicles from Huaxia. But we hope to produce these transport tools ourselves."
"So, is this business a bust?"
"No, no, no." The middle-aged man said, "What I an is, we want to produce them ourselves, but due to current objective conditions, we still need to buy parts from you.
So, I hope the parts you transport can be assembled by us in Russia in a very short ti after they arrive."
"I understand now." Chen Yiyang then realized the other party wanted to rebrand.
Purchase all-terrain vehicles from abroad.
The price of each vehicle is very transparent, which can be easily checked online.
But dostic products are different.
The price can be higher, mainly to support the developnt of local businesses.
The middle-aged man hoped not to buy complete vehicles from Chen Yiyang.
Instead, he wanted Chen Yiyang to send the complete vehicles in parts, and they would handle simple assembly.
Then, this all-terrain vehicle would beco a Russian-made dostic car.
Besides internal personnel, the cost price would naturally be unavailable for inquiry.
Anything is possible regarding how much they sell it for.
If it were other types of cars, assembly would indeed test craftsmanship and technology.
If the assembly technology was not up to standard, it would easily lead to unqualified vehicle product quality.
But all-terrain vehicles are different.
This thing is innately very simple in structure, as long as the parts are large enough, preferably the kind that only requires a seat and wheels to be installed upon arrival.
Even if idiots were to assemble, it could be done flawlessly.
So, Chen Yiyang made an excuse to go to another room.
Then he phoned Director Liu to ask if the terms of the other party could be t.
"No problem, we have the technology for that." Director Liu imdiately agreed.
"But since the other side wants dostic products, we can’t export these parts using the Aiya trademark anymore."
"I have an idea." Director Liu, aware that Chen Yiyang was talking about sothing beyond the trademark issue.
He directly said, "We can establish a subsidiary company. Aiya will hold sixty percent of the company’s shares, and you will hold forty percent. We will together export all-terrain vehicle parts to Russia."
"I’ll take thirty percent then." said Chen Yiyang, "Moreover, my Russian friend Gena here should get at least ten percent share, right?"
"Hahaha, I almost forgot about him. How about this, Aiya holds fifty-five percent, President Chen, you hold thirty-five percent, and Gena holds ten percent. How’s that?"
"Fine, no problem." Chen Yiyang imdiately agreed.
This kind of share given for free, money picked up for free, he naturally had to agree.
