"I came here to discuss business, so I took a look around on the way. Actually, it's not for a vacation," Lin Yi said.
"I see. However, there's really no place I can recommend you to go. At most, you can walk around nearby and see the local customs," the proprietress said with some regret.
"Right, what's the red building opposite for?" Lin Yi asked casually. "It seems like there are cars coming and going early in the morning?"
"Oh, you're talking about the Conch Group!" The proprietress said, "That's the largest trading company in the town. It covers almost all the trading industries in the town. The raw materials for our small shops are all supplied by the Conch Group! It's also the largest import and export company in this area, so there are people delivering goods and discussing business all night long. "
"I see." Lin Yi was enlightened, but he had some doubts in his heart. It seemed that this Conch Group should be a company without any shady interests on the surface, but it disguised itself quite well. It actually did trade for people's livelihood.
However, Lin Yi didn't believe that the Conch Group didn't do any shady business. Perhaps these were just cover-ups. The closer it was to the headquarters, the more careful one had to be. Otherwise, it would be strange if a large group without any formal business did not arouse suspicion!
This kind of import and export trade was suitable for money laundering. As long as the shipper was also one's own people, they could quote a lower purchase price. It saved a lot of trouble.
However, this brought great trouble to Lin Yi's investigation of the building. There were people coming and going in the group, so Lin Yi couldn't sneak in. He could only disguise himself as a person discussing business and enter. However, it was difficult to come into contact with core office areas like the general manager's office!
In order to prevent these serious businessmen from entering those areas by mistake, there would definitely be many security guards patrolling. After all, these shady things couldn't be shown to these people. Therefore, if Lin Yi wanted to go to those key areas, he had to think of a way!
Originally, Lin Yi thought that he could settle it in one day. Now, he had to spend some effort.
"Why, young man? You want to do business with the Conch Group too?" The Lady Boss saw the anticipation in Lin Yi's eyes, so she asked casually. Actually, the look in Lin Yi's eyes was fake. Lin Yi naturally couldn't show his true emotions on his face.
"Yeah, I'll be honest with you. I'm also in the trade business, and that partner of mine is actually buying goods from Conch Group. If I buy from him, I'll be making less money, so … …" Lin Yi said, pretending to be embarrassed.
"Hehe, I knew it. How could you not know about the Conch Group, lad? So you're here for connections. " The lady boss thought nothing of it, thinking that she had exposed Lin Yi's secret. All she did was smile and say, "Actually, the Conch Group's starting point for doing business is very low. If you have the money, you can negotiate with them. Just like our restaurants, we don't actually need a lot of goods each, but if a few of us work together, we can be considered quite a sizable customer. We can still get the goods directly from the Conch Group!"
"Oh? Don't you need someone to introduce you? "Lin Yi was slightly taken aback.
"There's no need." The lady boss waved her hand and said, "Lad, you can go directly. There's a reception at the entrance of their company. Tell them your purpose, and they will introduce you to the relevant person in charge."
"Is that so? Thank you very much. I'll go take a look now! "Lin Yi smiled politely after listening to the lady boss's words.
"It's not a big deal. Go on, lad!" The lady boss said indifferently.
Lin Yi paid for the meal, left the small restaurant, and walked to the Conch Group. Sure enough, there was a reception downstairs of the Conch Group. Inside the reception, there were many businessmen asking about something. As soon as Lin Yi entered the door, someone greeted him.
"Boss, what business are you looking for?" a waiter asked politely.
"Aquatic products." Lin Yi said. This was an idea that came to him after he saw a few trucks transporting seafood. It seemed that aquatic products were one of the main businesses of the Conch Group.
"Sir, how should I address you?" The waiter nodded without any surprise and asked.
"My surname is Yi, Yi Ling," Lin Yi said.
"Oh, okay, Mr. Yi." The waiter didn't care much about Lin Yi's name. He just registered it. "Mr. Yi, how much do you need every month?"
"About 30 million euros," Lin Yi said.
The price Lin Yi quoted was not particularly high, but it was definitely not low either. The waiter's eyes lit up! They were all employees at the bottom of the hierarchy. They didn't know the true details of the company. However, their manager had already informed these people. For customers who needed a large amount of goods, the price could be appropriately discounted. As long as the customer's monthly cash flow reached a certain amount, it would be fine.
Of course, these waiter seemed to be making a small profit but a quick turnover. In fact, the purpose of the company was very simple. It was to launder money. The more cash they took in, the better it was for them to operate.
"Sir, a customer of your level can meet the account manager directly!" The waiter quickly wrote a list for Lin Yi and said to Lin Yi, "You can now go to the account manager's office on the second floor and look for Manager Krieg. He will be your business manager in the future."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Yi nodded. He took the list and left the reception room! So far, everything was very smooth. Lin Yi successfully passed the first stage. Next, it was how to get the account manager to bring him to the general manager!
However, it was a little difficult when he thought about it. For money laundering, the business manager level was probably the top level. At most, he could see the head of the business department. As for the general manager, it was almost impossible to see him!
However, Lin Yi could only take one step at a time. Anyway, who didn't know how to brag? Lin Yi first drew a few big pies to see if the other party would take the bait.
Lin Yi stood at the door of the business manager's office and pondered for a moment. He pushed the door and walked in. Immediately, a man with a crew cut greeted him. He smiled at Lin Yi and said, "Sir, my name is Krieg. Are you looking for me?"
