Chapter 1574: Scapegoat?
"Tell me what's going on slowly."
Lin Yi's expression was in sharp contrast to just now.
"I just received news. The other party said that the waterline of our cargo ship is too deep. It is now in the dry season and the river bed is too shallow. Our cargo ship is temporarily not allowed to pass."
Lin Yi said nothing and thought for a few seconds.
Judging from the current season, it has indeed entered the dry season.
But it’s January now, and we’ve just entered the dry season, and it’s not yet the worst season.
It is a bit far-fetched to use the excuse of the dry season to obstruct the passage of ships.
"Besides these, what else did the other party say?"
"I didn't explain anything else. I just said that we should wait until the external conditions are suitable before allowing our ship to pass."
"What the hell!" Lin Yi cursed.
"The dry season won't end until April. Do we still have to give us a few more months?"
"I negotiated with the other party in this way, but their attitude was very firm. They kept emphasizing the dry season and would not listen to other reasons."
"Have you contacted someone from Bradesco?"
Bradesco is a Brazilian company. As a shipper, if something like this happens, they also have the obligation to communicate and solve the problem.
I contacted him immediately, but their attitude was very prevaricating, saying that the matter had nothing to do with them and they would not come forward to solve it. They hoped that we would handle it ourselves.
"Has all the money for the project been paid?"
"In order to intercept Hu Poly Group, we paid 80% of the project fee." Qi Xianzhao said:
"The price we offer is much higher than the market price. Even if we don't take the remaining 20%, they are still very profitable. We can't threaten them in this regard."
"I understand. You wait for me at the company. I'll go over now."
"I will try to contact the other party again and communicate with them about this issue."
After explaining, Lin Yi hung up the phone, and Liang Ruoxu also stood up.
"What happened?"
"When the timber shipped from Brazil passed through the Panama Canal, it was said that the water line was too deep and was blocked by their people. It had to wait until the flood season to pass."
Liang Ruoxu was surprised. This reason was too far-fetched, unconvincing, and even a bit ridiculous.
"Don't worry first, I'll call and ask."
"I guess you won't be able to find out the result even if you call me. Just go to work and I'll go back to the company to take a look."
"Slow down on the road and don't drive in a hurry."
"I know, don't worry."
Leaving Liang Ruoxu's office, Lin Yi returned to Lingyun Group.
And called Qi Xianzhao to his office.
"How's the situation? Is there any progress?"
"It's still the same. I made a lot of concessions and paid 30% more navigation fees, but their attitude is still very firm and there is no room for negotiation." Qi Xianzhao said:
"Furthermore, they also said that there may be problems with the goods on our ship, and they would have to unload and inspect them if they don't. Judging from their attitude, they don't seem to want us to open the ship to navigation."
"The bite is so deadly, I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Qi Xianzhao agreed with Lin Yi's statement.
"It's probably a new round of international trade conflicts that led them to do such unreasonable things."
Normally, Qi Xianzhao's analysis was very reasonable, and he was just a scapegoat.
But after thinking for a while, Lin Yi felt that it was unlikely.
If there is a trade conflict between the two countries, then all Chinese businessmen will secretly be targeted for sanctions, and there is no need to target them individually.
Moreover, I still have equity interests in Intel and Cymer, and my relationship with the United States is pretty good. Even if I want to scare the monkeys, I can't do it on myself.
But now, this has actually happened to me, and it's very strange.
"Mr. Lin, I plan to go there in person and negotiate with them face to face. At least I have to find the root of the problem so that the problem can be solved."
"Okay, let's go and take a look." Lin Yi nodded, "Let me know if anything happens."
"I understand, Mr. Lin."
After getting down to business, Lin Yi put his feet on the desk and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out the problem.
I feel like the problem shouldn't be on my side.
As the two people analyzed just now, in this matter, Lingyun Group was just the scapegoat. The fire at the city gate burned the fish in the pond.
As for where the fire was lit, it is still unknown.
After a long time, Lin Yi took his mobile phone and dialed Shen Shuyi.
"I heard from Mi Li that the batch of wood shipped from Brazil was stuck in the Panama Canal?"
"Does Aunt Shen know about this?"
"She called me just now to tell me, but she had something on hand and didn't have time to call you back."
"We did an internal analysis just now and believe that the cause should not be our fault, but should have been affected."
Lin Yi spoke very cryptically, but Shen Shuyi understood what he meant.
"It shouldn't be possible. Although the relationship is relatively tense, there has been no big action. Many things are still just words and have no impact on substantive things. It is even more impossible to take action against your Lingyun Group."
"Then this is strange. Normally, they have no reason to do this." Lin Yi said.
Although the cargo ship is huge and has a deep draft, it is a bit unreasonable to talk about it during the dry season.
"Don't worry first. I'll find someone to investigate this matter. Maybe it will be solved soon."
"Thank you Aunt Shen."
"Wait for my news."
After talking to Shen Shuyi on the phone, Lin Yi stretched his waist.
With Shen Shuyi's status and connections in the circle, if she went to inquire about this matter, the effect would definitely be better than her own.
As for what he can do, he just waits for news from them.
After getting down to business, I went to Huashan Hospital overnight.
I was going to send the necklace to Li Chuhan, but I just arrived at the hospital.
I saw Li Chuhan walking out of the hospital carrying his bag.
What I am wearing, UU reading www. uukanshu.net It's still the same white cotton jacket, sports pants, and AJ13 as before. She looks like a girl in her twenties.
But I just don’t like to laugh very much, otherwise I would look more youthful and lively.
Li Chuhan is not like Ji Qingyan or He Yuanyuan, who changes his clothes almost every day.
It usually takes two or three days to change clothes every three or four days. As for when to change them, it depends on how clean the clothes are.
As for Ji Qingyan and He Yuanyuan, it was not because they loved to be clean that they changed their clothes every day, but mainly because they were stinky.
Li Chuhan, who was originally expressionless, immediately smiled and quickened his pace when he saw Lin Yi again.
"Why don't you call me in advance every time you come? What if I'm not here?"
