Chapter 101: Connected to the Highest Levels (Subscription Requested)

“1 billion! 1 billion!”

“Enough to spend for a lifetime!”

Looking at the rough quote calculated by her old father, Zhang Chengcheng felt like she was hearing a silly line from a movie echoing in her ears.

She thought she was just casually entertaining a small business salesman who came to promote, but she didn't expect it to lead to such a big deal.

Looking again at Chen Jue, who was sitting casually opposite her, Zhang Chengcheng felt even more that she had underestimated the energy of this Hongxing Trading company before.

How could a small company casually take out 90,000 cubic meters of wood?

“Why haven't I heard my dad mention this Hongxing Trading before…” Zhang Chengcheng couldn't help but mutter to herself.

On the other hand, her old father, Zhang Peng, after finishing his calculations, whether it was because there were too many timber merchants surrounding the booth, or because the air conditioning in the venue wasn't strong enough, took out a tissue, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then asked, “That Chen, my friend, does your cousin really have so much high-end goods?”

“I'm just casually calculating, and it's already over 90,000 cubic meters. This number is not small!”

The reason why Zhang Peng asked this question was also because he had talked to several listed forestry companies at the exhibition in the past two days to understand the market situation.

In the current situation of weak downstream consumer market demand, companies like Yong'an Forestry, which deal with forest resources, only sold about 20,000 cubic meters of materials in the first half of the year.

Now, a Hongxing Trading company with no known reputation suddenly appears, claiming to have more than 90,000 cubic meters of top-quality large-diameter wood in their hands. Everyone would be suspicious, let alone him, the boss.

After all, their Pengcheng Timber Industry Group follows a mid-to-high-end route, and the annual processing volume of wood is only about 50,000 cubic meters, which is not comparable to those large factories that consume hundreds of thousands of cubic meters a year, such as density boards.

Usually, only high-end customized home furnishings, yachts, private jets, and car interiors use this kind of large-diameter wood.

Because the premium for top-quality wood is too high and the price fluctuates too much, only wealthy people who don't lack money can afford it.

“Don't worry, President Zhang, my cousin's Far East Forest Farm is so big that you can cut as much wood as he says.”

“If you're not at ease, you can sign a cash contract with our Hongxing Trading. My cousin said that cash purchases also include free shipping!” Chen Jue was acting like a big shot at this moment, talking nonsense.

He pushed the source of the wood to the 'cousin', the unscrupulous merchant villager.

In order to dispel President Zhang of Pengcheng Timber's concerns, he also specifically made a video call, asking the simple-minded guy in the Sova logging yard to point the camera at the bustling work scene in the back mountain of the logging yard.

Including the endless stream of large trucks loading wood at the entrance, which President Zhang also glanced at.

The uniformly dressed Russian drivers, as well as the Far East natural environment in the picture that was different from domestic forest farms, made Zhang Peng sigh in his heart: “My goodness! So many mountains belong to their Hongxing Trading? That must be tens of thousands of acres!”

“Isn't it said that Russia prohibits random logging in natural reserves?”

“So much wild wood can be easily obtained, and they won't be investigated? And they can get all the procedures in place? To what extent must they be connected to the highest levels locally!”

Relying on this live video call and some imagination, Zhang Peng began to believe in the existence of these 90,000 cubic meters of wood.

He even thought that behind this Hongxing Trading, there might be a rumored super-oligarch from Russia.

After all, only those oligarchs can recklessly resell non-renewable resources like wood.

He would never have imagined that behind all of this was actually the young man with the cheat in front of him.

Of course, the reason why Zhang Peng was interested in this batch of logs, in addition to the large quantity and excellent quality, was that the other party also mentioned that they could provide free shipping.

You must know that the transportation of wood is not as simple as soybeans.

Even if it is transported by river from the Heihe port to China, it needs to be transferred to trucks for transportation after landing at the port.

A trailer can only carry a maximum of 70 to 80 cubic meters of wood when fully loaded, and 10,000 cubic meters would require more than 100 such heavy trailers.

If you pull 90,000 cubic meters from the Far East, the transportation cost alone would be at least tens of millions.

As a result, basically no supplier in these timber wholesale markets in Manzhouli is willing to promise free shipping.

The transportation fee is all paid by the buyer!

If free shipping to the factory can be achieved, the logistics costs saved would be huge.

In addition, this Chen, who came to promote, also said that he could take cash for the goods.

If he took the traditional method of paying a deposit first and then taking the goods, he would have some doubts.

So, after discussing the delivery method in detail with Chen Jue, and confirming that he could choose land or sea transportation, and that Hongxing Trading, as the seller, would pay for the free shipping, Zhang Peng tentatively quoted a demand of 30,000 cubic meters.

There was no way, no one has surplus grain these days!

Taking these 30,000 cubic meters of top-quality wood with cash would cost at least 200 million RMB.

Such a large purchase of raw materials would be a lot of pressure on the working capital of their Pengcheng Timber Industry, even if it wouldn't hurt their bones.

Even though he wanted to eat all of this batch of 90,000 cubic meters of wood, Zhang Peng had to make a choice.

Because cash flow is the bottom line of a company, squeezing it too hard can easily affect the group's stable production.

“30,000 cubic meters?”

“No problem, President Zhang! I'll say hello to my cousin. You're the first to place an order with our Hongxing Trading, so let your Pengcheng Timber Industry choose the good materials first.”

Seeing that this first door-to-door promotion had resulted in an intended business of 200 million, Chen Jue also showed a smile on his face.

Compared to Chen Ji's catering business, which earns ordinary people's pocket money, this kind of resource-based commodity trading is the fastest way to make money.

It's tens of millions or hundreds of millions at every turn. How much food and roast chicken do you have to sell to earn that?

Of course, upon hearing Chen Jue's promise of priority selection, Zhang Peng also laughed and said, “Then thank you for your kindness, Chen!”

He also educated his precious daughter beside him: “Chengcheng, you're 25 years old! How can you do without any social experience? Look at Chen, young and talented, about the same age as you, and he can come out to talk about hundreds of millions of business deals. You have to learn from him!”

“I know, Dad!” Zhang Chengcheng responded娇声, reluctantly took out her mobile phone to add the other party's WeChat.

She also glanced at Chen Jue, who was not outstanding in appearance but had a natural sense of chic and composure when he sat there, and her face flushed slightly. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart: “This young man's appearance and temperament are quite decent and good-looking. I don't know if he has a girlfriend.”

… …

Chen Jue naturally didn't know that this old guy, who was almost 30 years old, could be seen by the Qianjin Miss of someone's Pengcheng Timber Industry.

After finalizing the first intended contract of 30,000 cubic meters, he directly shamelessly occupied the sofa negotiation area of ​​someone else's house and called the timber merchants who were watching outside one by one to fool them.

Soon, relying on the advantage of free shipping to the factory and the scarcity of top-quality wood, he pre-ordered and sold all the remaining 60,000 cubic meters.

Zhang Chengcheng, who was responsible for pouring tea and water on the side, watched Chen Jue's performance throughout the whole process.

She felt that compared to her father's painstaking management, this business of Hongxing Trading was really keeping up with the times!

There is no need to rent any exhibition halls, nor to engage in any drinking parties. Relying only on a mouth and online videos, as well as a few printed A4 paper lists and wood samples, they fooled those eager timber merchants.

Relying on an almost zero-cost, thick-skinned sales method, he finalized an intended contract of nearly 1 billion. How powerful is this ability to bring goods?

As a result, Zhang Chengcheng also realized that even if this young man named Chen Jue didn't have any family background, he was really an excellent salesperson.

So, after Chen Jue left after using their venue, Zhang Chengcheng specially took her old father's arm and acted coquettishly: “Dad! Next time you go to Hongxing Trading to select materials, can you take me with you! I haven't been to the Far East for tourism yet.”

As soon as Zhang Peng heard this, he immediately felt half cold in his heart. Looking at Zhang Chengcheng's coquettish appearance, he immediately realized that his little padded jacket was starting to leak air!

Because he understood his precious daughter's personality, he knew that she was the kind of young lady who didn't leave the house and didn't like to interfere in the group's affairs.

Even going to an exhibition stand was very reluctant, let alone this kind of dirty and tiring work of going to the site to see wood and inspect materials.

What could make her daughter take the initiative to speak like this must be something that attracted her.

So, Chen Jue, who was holding a golden nanmu bonsai at a booth, suddenly sneezed while walking, and muttered coldly behind his back: “I haven't been back for a few days, which old Deng is thinking about me again?”

Guaranteed second update~ I haven't rested well these past two days, and the code word state is very poor, let me adjust it.
