I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 101: All-Seeing (Subscription Request)

"One billion! One billion!"

“You can’t spend all your money in a lifetime!”

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

I thought I was just receiving a small door-to-door salesman, but I didn't expect it would attract such a big business.

Looking at Chen Jue who was sitting opposite him with a casual look on his face, Zhang Chengcheng felt even more that he had underestimated the power of Red Star Trading.

Can a small company easily produce 9 cubic meters of timber?

"Why have I never heard my dad talk about this Red Star Trading before..." Zhang Chengcheng couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

On the other hand, her father Zhang Peng, after typing on the computer, probably because there were too many timber merchants watching the booth or the air conditioning in the hall was not strong enough, wiped the sweat off his forehead with a tissue, and then asked, "Brother Chen, does your cousin really have so many high-end goods?"

"I just calculated that it's more than 9 cubic meters. This is not a small number!"

The reason why Zhang Peng asked this question was because he had visited several listed forestry companies at the trade fair to discuss business and understand the market conditions.

In the current situation of sluggish demand in the downstream consumer market, companies like Yongan Forestry that deal in forest resources only sold around 2 cubic meters of materials in the first half of the year.

This little-known company, Red Star Trading, suddenly appeared and said that it had more than 9 cubic meters of large-diameter top-grade goods. Anyone would be skeptical, let alone him as the boss.

After all, their Pengcheng Wood Industry Group is pursuing a mid-to-high-end route, and the annual wood processing volume is only about 5 cubic meters, which is not as good as those large manufacturers of consumables such as density boards that consume hundreds of thousands of cubic meters a year.

This kind of large-diameter wood is usually only used in high-end customized home decoration, yachts, private jets, and car interiors.

Because the premium for top-quality wood is too high and the price fluctuates too much, only wealthy people can afford it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. The Far East forest farm that my cousin manages is huge. He can cut as much wood as you want with just a word."

"If you're worried, you can sign a cash contract with our Red Star Trading. My cousin said that if you pay with cash, you'll get free shipping!" Chen Jue acted like a big shot and talked nonsense.

The source of the wood was blamed on the "cousin" who was a profiteer villager.

In order to dispel the concerns of Mr. Zhang, the general manager of Pengcheng Wood Industry, he specially made a video call and asked Tiehanhan, who was far away in the Sowa Logging Site, to point the camera at the bustling work scene in the back mountain of the logging site.

Mr. Zhang also took a look at the endless stream of large trucks loading wood at the door.

The Russian drivers and the Far Eastern natural environment in the picture, which was different from the domestic forest farm, made Zhang Peng sigh in his heart: "Oh my goodness! So many mountains are owned by Red Star Trade? This must be at least tens of thousands of acres!"

"Didn't Russia ban deforestation in nature reserves?"

"How could so much wild wood be obtained without being checked? And how could the formalities be complete? How well-connected must one be in the local area!"

Relying on this live video call and some imagination, Zhang Peng began to believe the existence of these 9 cubic meters of wood.

He even wondered if the Red Star Trading Company was backed by the rumored super oligarch from Russia.

After all, only oligarchs can resell non-renewable resources like timber so unscrupulously.

He would never have thought that the young man in front of him who had a cheat was behind this.

Of course, the reason why Zhang Peng was interested in this batch of logs was not only because of the large quantity and excellent quality, but also because the other party mentioned that shipping was free.

You know, transporting wood is not easier than transporting soybeans.

Even if the goods are transported from the Heihe port to the country by river, they still need to be switched to trucks for transportation after arriving at the port.

A fully stacked trailer can only carry 7 to 80 cubic meters of wood at most. To carry cubic meters, more than a hundred of these heavy-duty trailers are needed.

If we bring in 9 cubic meters from the Far East, the transportation cost alone would be at least tens of millions.
As a result, in the timber wholesale markets in Manzhouli, basically no supplier is willing to offer free shipping.

All the shipping costs are paid by the buyer! If this can be achieved with free shipping to the factory, the logistics costs saved will be huge.

In addition, the door-to-door salesman, Brother Chen, also said that I could pay with cash for the goods.

If he were to go the traditional route of paying a partial deposit before receiving the goods, he would have some doubts.

So after discussing the delivery method in detail with Chen Jue and confirming that it could be transported by land or sea, and that Red Star Trading, as the seller, would pay for free shipping, Zhang Peng tentatively reported a demand for 3 cubic meters.

There is no way, these days landlords have no surplus food!
It would cost at least 3 million RMB to buy these 2 cubic meters of top-quality wood in cash.

Procurement of such a large amount of raw materials is a huge pressure on Pengcheng Wood Industry's working capital, if not a serious one.

Even though he really wanted to take in all of the 9 cubic meters of wood, Zhang Peng had to make a decision.

Because cash flow is the bottom line of a company, any further squeeze may easily affect the group's stable production.

"3 cubic meters?"

"No problem, Mr. Zhang! I'll say hello to my cousin right away. You should be the first to place an order with Red Star Trading. Let Pengcheng Wood Industry pick the good materials first."

Seeing that the first door-to-door sales order had a potential business value of 2 million yuan, Chen Jue smiled.

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

It's often tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. How many vegetables and roast chickens do you have to sell to make that much money?
Of course, after hearing Chen Jue's promise to give priority to picking materials, Zhang Peng also laughed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Chen!"

By the way, he educated his precious daughter beside him: "Cheng Cheng, you are already 25 years old, you are not young anymore! How can you succeed without any social experience? Look at Brother Chen, he is young and handsome, he is about the same age as you, but he can come out and negotiate business worth hundreds of millions. You should learn from him with an open mind!"

"I know! Dad!" Zhang Chengcheng responded in a soft voice, and reluctantly took out her cell phone to add the other party on WeChat.

By the way, she turned her beautiful eyes and glanced at Chen Jue, who didn't look outstanding but had a cool and calm manner when he sat there. Her face was slightly red and she couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "This guy has a pretty good-looking temperament. I wonder if he has a girlfriend."

……

Chen Jue naturally had no idea that this almost 30-year-old dish of his had actually caught the eye of the daughter of Pengcheng Wood Industry.

After securing the first intention contract for 3 cubic meters, he shamelessly occupied the sofa negotiation area in someone else's house and called in the timber merchants who were watching outside one by one to deceive him.

Soon, taking advantage of the free shipping to the factory and the scarcity of top-quality wood, all the remaining 6 cubic meters were pre-ordered and sold out.

Zhang Chengcheng, who was responsible for serving tea and water, watched Chen Jue's performance throughout.

She felt that compared to her father's painstaking efforts in running the business, the Red Star Trading business was truly one that kept pace with the times!
There is no need to rent an exhibition hall or organize any drinking parties. All you need is your mouth, online videos, and a few printed A4 paper lists and wood samples to fool those eager timber merchants.

Relying on a shameless sales method with almost zero cost, he secured a nearly 0 billion yuan contract of intent. What a powerful sales ability!
This made Zhang Chengcheng realize that even though this young man named Chen Jue had no family background, he was indeed an extremely outstanding salesperson.

So after Chen Jue finished using their place and left, Zhang Chengcheng deliberately hugged her old father's arm and said coquettishly: "Dad! Next time you go to Red Star Trade to choose materials, can you take me with you? I haven't traveled to the Far East yet."

Zhang Peng felt disappointed when he heard this. Looking at Zhang Chengcheng's coquettish look, he immediately realized that his little cotton-padded jacket was starting to leak!

Because he understood his precious daughter's personality, he knew that she was the kind of girl who would never leave the house and didn't like to interfere in the group's affairs.

They were very reluctant to even set up a booth, let alone the dirty and tiring work of going to the site to look at the wood and inspect the materials.

The fact that my daughter could speak so actively must mean that there was something that attracted her.

So Chen Jue, who was just holding a potted golden nanmu tree at a booth, sneezed suddenly while walking, and muttered with a chill on his back, "I haven't been home for several days. Who is missing me again?"
