Chapter 353: Running a Knockoff Export Operation

He Xin, upon hearing that, showed an expression I could understand.

"You just want to go see the beauties in swimsuits, right?"

Yang Qing's eyes flickered, and he quickly denied.

"How could that be possible?"

He Xin chuckled.

"I'll take care of it."

The two glanced at each other and both burst out laughing.

In the following days, Yang Qing toured the Xinhui Agricultural Machinery Factory.

To be honest, the factory director of a few thousand workers and the factory director of a few hundred workers have roughly the same production capacity.

Yang Qing's disappointed gaze did not escape He Xin's eyes.

"What's wrong? Any problem?"

Yang Qing shook his head.

"No, I'm just worried that if we manage to open up an export channel, can your production keep up with supply?"

"We're doing technical cooperation with you so we don't have to haul the machinery over long distances."

He Xin had always thought Yang Qing was just talking, never expecting him to be serious.

"Can we really export?"

Yang Qing said matter-of-factly.

"Of course; otherwise, why would I have come all this way?"

He Xin pulled him to his office.

"Now Yingjiang imposes a strict blockade on us; I fear no one dares to openly violate their blockade order."

Yang Qing chuckled.

"That's because you don't know the influence of the Chinese in the south."

"Besides, I don't intend to go through normal channels."

He Xin looked at Yang Qing doubtfully.

"If not the normal route, how then?"

"There is a way, through an import/export company, but I doubt they'd agree."

Yang Qing chuckled.

"Do you think all goods entering our country come through normal channels?"

"Over in Gangdao, many companies got rich through smuggling."

"It's a waste for them to come fully loaded and return empty; better to bring some of our goods back."

At that moment, He Xin understood Yang Qing's meaning.

But he was still worried.

"I'm afraid they might not be interested."

"Our industrial products don't have much of a market overseas."

Yang Qing continued to chuckle.

"Who said they're our products? We won't put our own label on them, but rather the label of those living comfortably over there."

"Do you know how much their hand‑tractor costs?"

"Tens of thousands, while ours is only a few thousand."

"Do you think they'd do it?"

"Tenfold profit."

He Xin's heart wouldn't stop racing.

A money‑making path appeared before his eyes.

"Do you have a connection? This still has to go through the import/export company."

"If they don't agree, we still can't do it."

Having touched the core, Yang Qing dared not lay it all out.

"I can give it a try."

"I might have some connections there."

He Xin slapped the table.

"As long as you can secure the sales channel, we in Xinhui dare to give it a try."

"If output is insufficient, we can expand the factory."

Yang Qing nodded.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Afterwards he dialed Aunt Wang's phone.

He told Director Wang about the matter, and Director Wang's heart gave a thump.

"This little bastard couldn't get anything done in Jingcheng, so he went south to stir up trouble?"

"His gall is too big."

"Despite the complaints, the matter still needs to be handled."

Soon she got in touch with the import/export company.

They had long wanted to poach Yang Qing.

The more Yang Qing stirred things up, the more they wanted him; such a quick‑witted person is exactly their kind.

So as soon as Director Wang explained the purpose, the import/export company staff immediately handed Yang Qing the phone number of the person in charge of goods in the south.

After Yang Qing got the phone number, he quickly called.

Before Huang Shanhe received Yang Qing's call, he had already gotten a call from his superiors, instructing him to find a way to keep Yang Qing.

So after Yang Qing explained his purpose, he immediately agreed to meet.

While Yang Qing was on the phone, He Xin stood nearby listening; seeing him settle things with just a couple of calls, he got the matter done and was astonished.

"Little brother, I didn't expect your ability to be this great."

With such an ability that reaches the heavens, he valued Yang Qing's plan even more.

He brought Yang Qing's export plan and immediately called a factory meeting.

They discussed the export matter in depth.

After He Xin spoke of Yang Qing's abilities, many who had opposed also agreed to his plan.

This matter, no matter how it's handled, benefits the Xinhui Agricultural Machinery Factory.

Once Yang Qing quits, they could even directly tear up the cooperation and take over the export business.

Just thinking about it gets them excited.

Having obtained the factory's consent, He Xin and Yang Qing rushed to Lingnan City and met Huang Shanhe.

After Yang Qing introduced himself, Huang Shanhe immediately shook his hand.

【66】 "Nice to meet you."

Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.

"In our import/export company, Yang Qing, you're a legend."

His one sentence earned them a lot of money.

It eased the strained import/export company considerably.

Yang Qing didn't expect he still had influence in Lingnan.

"Don't mention it."

"Director Huang, we're bothering you."

Huang Shanhe quickly ushered them into his office.

"What's with the pleasantries? If I can help, I will."

There was no beating around the bush, no eating, drinking, or entertainment; Yang Qing directly stated his purpose.

"It's like this……"

After Yang Qing's explanation, Huang Shanhe also understood his meaning.

"To be honest, we've also tried exporting industrial goods."

"But you've seen it—aside from raw materials, we've hardly achieved anything."

"What little there is is done under the guise of support."

"For example, in Eastern Europe."

"Your tractor……"

Huang Shanhe shook his head.

"There's not much hope."

"Those smugglers probably wouldn't be interested."

Yang Qing didn't give up.

"What we want to do is switch the labels."

Huang Shanhe was taken aback.

"Label switching?"

Yang Qing nodded and explained the counterfeit approach.

Huang Shanhe listened and frowned.

"This will affect our international reputation."

"At this point, we care a lot about the impact on the country."

"We use brands that are getting by modestly."

"For such a country, are we being too lenient?"

"I've heard that mercy toward the enemy is cruelty to oneself."

"Shearing their wool, I feel it's entirely a good thing."

Huang Shanhe thought for a moment.

"This matter, I need to ask for instructions from above."

"Like this, you can spend a few days in Lingnan, and I'll give you the result then."

Yang Qing had no objection.

However, he took the opportunity to make a request.

"Can I go see how the goods are brought in?"

Huang Shanhe hesitated, then finally nodded.

"Be careful, pay attention to safety."

Afterwards he summoned someone to take Yang Qing and He Xin down.

Although He Xin also really wanted to go see such an important matter, he knew his limits.

Using the excuse that the factory had business, he went back.

Yang Qing, meanwhile, excitedly followed the person to scout the route.
