I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 172 The Power of Group Buying (Subscription Request)
The group was shocked by the mountains of wood in front of them.

Especially Zhang Ruonan, who was just a bystander, was a little dumbfounded when he heard that these insignificant woods were actually worth 3 or 40 billion yuan.

"This is too extravagant!" Zhang Ruonan muttered softly.

Even though they are popular first-tier female stars and are busy with announcements every day, the money they earn in a year is actually very limited.

After all, the domestic entertainment bubble has been burst in recent years, and the real hot money has flowed into the online celebrity live streaming market. Now many celebrities have started live streaming because they see the quick money-making feature.

In addition, Zhang Ruonan's contract is in the hands of someone else, so a large part of the income from filming and advertising must be handed over to the agency.

Unless you invest in big movies or TV series to get dividends, you may be able to earn hundreds of millions a year. On weekdays, you only get tens of millions a year, and you may not even be as popular as those top Internet celebrities.

What ordinary people consider a pile of broken wood is worth her entire life's income.

This dimensionality reduction attack on wealth really gave Zhang Ruonan a huge shock.

Although she has been working in the entertainment industry for several years, she has also seen those wealthy sponsors.

But since boarding Chen Jue's yacht, Zhang Ruonan found that her three perspectives were changing every day.

"No wonder those seniors are trying their best to marry into a wealthy family. The world of rich people is really different!" Zhang Ruonan sighed in her heart and looked at Chen Jue who was calm and composed with complicated eyes.

Even Zhang Chengcheng, who was standing next to him, was very excited when he saw the piles of raw wood. He filmed and recorded a video while sending a message to his father who was far away in China: "Dad! Take a look at these materials. They are all top-grade ecological wood, and the parameters are better than those on the previous list."

Zhang Peng quickly replied on WeChat: "Cheng Cheng, you better hurry up and choose! Don't let your uncle Zhao and the others pick all the good ones."

This time he sent only his daughter to the Far East to select materials. He also intended to train the future successor of Pengcheng Wood Industry to see if his daughter could be worthy of the responsibility of the family business.

Of course, the reason why Zhang Peng felt at ease was because he had previously signed a letter of intent with Red Star Trading for payment on delivery.

Even if the material delivered is not the same as ordered, we can just withhold the payment and return the goods.

If things really don't work out, there is a group of smart colleagues helping Zhang Chengcheng, so no big problems will definitely arise.

As for Lao Zhao and his gang of timber merchants, they were like loaches that had entered a hole. With the idea of ​​"strike first, gain the upper hand", they quickly walked around the piles of timber and began to select the logs they wanted.

In order to compete for some old materials, this group of timber merchants who were originally brothers on the yacht were arguing so fiercely that they almost rolled up their sleeves and started fighting on the spot.

Because in the eyes of these timber merchants, these high-quality logs from the Far East are equated with money.

With the increasing trend of domestic wood consumption, any wood imported into the country can be sold, and how much you earn in the future depends entirely on your own ability.

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, the old businessman nearby sent a few Russian secretary assistants who had studied abroad in China to use the purchasing software on the PAD to place orders for everyone.

As soon as the material is finalized, the subsequent batch of logs stored in the port of Zarubino will be sent to the dock by bulk carrier overnight and transported all the way to the domestic port designated by the customer.

Whether you pick it up in person or have it delivered to your door, it can be completed within half a month at the fastest.

This is the benefit of establishing relationships with local oligarchs in advance. At the very least, the goods will be given the green light to pass through customs.

……

Having seen the inventory strength of Red Star Trading, a group of more than a dozen timber merchants made special calls to their acquaintances and relatives in China to explain the situation while selecting materials and placing orders.

They have all been in this business for decades, so naturally they have extensive connections in the country.

For those who have been running stalls in Manzhouli for many years, this trip out to buy not only for themselves, but also to serve as a frontier for relatives and friends to come and explore the market. If they don't have enough funds, they can bring others in to underwrite the sales together!

At the Manzhouli Timber Fair, the original purchasing demand was only more than 3 cubic meters, but under the appeal of Lao Zhao and others, it was pushed up to more than 40 cubic meters.

Including Pengcheng Wood Industry, the purchase amount has increased from the original 6 cubic meters to a full 20 cubic meters.

According to Zhang Chengcheng, she had taken out all the trouble on this trip and even joined forces with several domestic listed companies that had business dealings with Pengcheng Wood Industry to place an order.

After all, the temptation of seeing the goods on site is not comparable to what Chen Jue had done before when he took out a list and got sliced ​​samples.

More importantly, the price offered by Red Star Trading is very honest, and it comes with free shipping upon delivery, which is a discount of nearly 10% compared to those old domestic importers.

For a commodity like logs, a one or two point increase is already a very significant achievement.

They can give up 10 points. Lao Zhao and others can’t figure out how Red Star Trading makes money.

If he didn't have connections in the Far East and had taken over all the local oligarchs, how could he offer such a discounted price?

If they don't take advantage of such a huge opportunity, then they are really short-sighted bastards with green eyes!
So when the old merchant counted the total order volume, the order volume placed by this group of people on the spot reached more than 60 cubic meters. The contract value also reached 92.7 billion after the premium because most of the logs purchased were of high age and large diameter.

Such an astonishing amount of money collected on behalf of others made Chen Jue a little overjoyed. He exclaimed in his heart: "These wooden guys are really fucking rich!"

……

A trip abroad solved the cash flow problem of his recent business, and Chen Jue felt much better.

Although the money has not actually arrived yet, with old industrial groups such as Pengcheng Wood Industry taking the lead, Chen Jue is not afraid of not receiving cash in the next half month.

It is not customary for stall businesses to keep debts nowadays. Basically, money is paid and goods are delivered.

So after everyone finished visiting the warehouse at Zarubino Port, Chen Jue led the small team to the main city of Hassan District for a day to experience the local customs and culture of Great Russia.

In the next two days, we will go to the Sova lumberyard in Blagoveshchensk for inspection.

After all, there are only 30 cubic meters of logs in the dock warehouse, and the remaining excess has to be harvested at the logging site.

Since he was already here, Chen Jue planned to take these financiers with him for a few days to show off the strength of Red Star Trading.

Perhaps after the news of the Far East investigation team spreads in the next few years, the timber merchants who run stalls in Manzhouli will definitely contact Lao Zhao and others to place more group purchase orders.

The domestic consumption of solid wood is as high as 2 million cubic meters per year, and imports alone exceed 1 million. The little bit of wood that Chen Jue has ripened can hardly make a splash when spread into such a large market.

However, on the night before arriving in the Far East, Chen Jue still pulled Lao Shang together to plan the subsequent plan to boost the U.S. soybean futures market.

When he learned that Chen Jue had already recruited a [breeding expert] and had even started the targeted cultivation of 'desert soybeans', Lao Shang's eyes began to glow green as he smirked: "Boss! Recently, I have thoroughly studied your current financial trading system, especially the US financial market, which is full of loopholes like a sieve. As long as we have enough spot goods, it will only take a few minutes to push up US soybean futures!"

When Chen Jue heard that this MC lackey seemed to have his own tricks, he immediately became interested: "What should we do next?"

The big-nosed villager chuckled, took out a map of East Asian ports from his backpack, pointed at Rizhao Port and said, "First of all, we have to buy it!"

I didn’t finish the second update last night, so I’ll start this morning.
