Sun Mei quickly asked, "Then who will we sell our sand and gravel to after it's transported out?"

Chen Wen smiled and said, "The sales channels have already been arranged for you."

"The banks partner with distributors who supply sand and gravel to construction projects across the country. What they lack most is a stable supply of goods."

"As long as the mine can produce materials on time, the other party will send a truck to pick them up directly."

Sun Mei's eyes lit up immediately: "We don't even need to worry about transportation?"

"The main transportation环节 is handled by the distributor."

Chen Wen nodded: "You only need to be responsible for mining, crushing and screening. Once the finished product meets the standards, the other party will settle the payment on the spot."

Shen Jianjun stared at the project documents: "What's the acquisition price?"

"Eight percent higher than the local market average."

Upon hearing this figure, Shen Jianjun immediately frowned: "Higher than the market price?"

Having been in business for so many years, he naturally understands how fierce the competition is among suppliers.

Why should we pay 8 percent more to buy the same goods from others when others can buy them at the market price?

Chen Wen sensed his suspicion and explained, "President Shen, the market price corresponds to scattered supply."

"You are different."

"Once the fifteen mines are put into production simultaneously, they can provide supplies in a long-term, stable and large-scale manner."

"For those distributors, the biggest fear is not a slightly higher price, but rather not having enough stock and being unable to deliver projects on time."

"As long as the supply is stable enough, paying an extra 8% is far more cost-effective than making purchases from various temporary sources."

A project staff member standing nearby chimed in, "These days, it's quite normal for many construction sites to temporarily raise prices by 10% to secure sand and gravel."

"Some projects have tight deadlines. If the sand and gravel supply is cut off, both personnel and machinery have to stop. The money lost every day is far more than just this price difference."

This explanation is reasonable.

Shen Jianjun's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he picked up a sand and gravel sample to examine it carefully.

How long will the acquisition agreement take to sign?

Chen Wendao: "We'll sign a three-year contract initially."

"Within three years, as long as the output and quality meet the standards, the other party will purchase all of it."

"Prices will also be adjusted according to market conditions. If the market price rises, your purchase price will also rise accordingly."

Sun Mei nodded repeatedly, "Jianjun, I told you long ago, Chen Wen wouldn't betray us."

"He not only found us a mine, but also arranged the sales channels."

Chen Wen waved his hand and smiled, "We're all old classmates. I'll definitely help as much as I can."

The group walked around the mining area.

After visiting the first site, the convoy went to the second and third sites for further selection.

The second location is closer to the transportation route and has flat terrain, making it easier to lay equipment.

Although the third site is located a bit further away, it has the largest sand and gravel reserves, and the mining scale can be further expanded in the future.

At each location, Chen Wen would provide detailed information on reserves, production capacity, transportation distance, and construction period.

After visiting the three mines, Shen Jianjun's sickly fatigue had lessened considerably, and he regained his energy.

Standing on the high ground of the third mine, he took the profit calculation sheet handed to him by Chen Wen.

"Manager Chen, please calculate it for me again."

"How much can you earn per day once all fifteen mines are in operation?"

Chen Wen was prepared and pointed to the numbers on the form.

"Based on current sand and gravel prices, a mine can generate a gross profit of nearly one million per day."

"After deducting labor, equipment depreciation, site and various operating costs, the daily net profit of the fifteen mines can exceed ten million."

"Ten million?"

Sun Mei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The two project staff members next to each other exchanged a glance, and one of them laughed and said, "This is still based on a conservative production capacity calculation."

"If the equipment runs smoothly in the later stages, the daily profit will be even higher."

Chen Wen continued, "The biggest advantage of the sand and gravel industry is its fast payment speed."

"Once the finished product leaves the factory, the distributors settle accounts on a batch basis, unlike real estate projects which require waiting for several years."

"Fifteen mines generate a profit of ten million per day, which amounts to about three hundred million per month."

"The annual revenue can reach three to four billion."

"Although the initial investment is large, according to the current market conditions, the entire cost can be recovered in about a year and a half."

"Once you break even, the remaining mine, equipment, and subsequent profits are all yours."

A mountain wind blew by, and Sun Mei's hands trembled as she held the documents.

Three to four billion a year!

In all the years that Jianjun Group has been operating, even at its peak, it has never generated such astonishing profits in a single year.

Once all fifteen mines are operational, not only can the 6.9 billion yuan loan be repaid on schedule, but Jianjun Group's financial crisis can also be completely resolved.

Shen Jianjun stared at the string of numbers, his chest heaving violently.

These past few days, he's had enough of the ridicule and sarcasm from outside.

Everyone thought Jianjun Group was about to collapse.

Those who used to surround him and toast him no longer answer his phone, refuse to meet him, and are unwilling to lend him even hundreds of millions of dollars.

But a year and a half later, he will not only be able to pay off the loan, but he will also have fifteen continuously profitable mines in his hands!

At that time, those people will crowd around him again, begging to cooperate with Jianjun Group.

"good!"

Shen Jianjun slammed the documents down: "All three locations are fine."

"The remaining mines will also proceed according to this standard; all fifteen mines must be completed, not one less!"

Chen Wen smiled and said, "President Shen is indeed a man of great courage."

"Even if ordinary people see this opportunity, they might not dare to set up fifteen mines at once."

"If you only build one or two, the profits will be limited and you won't be able to achieve economies of scale."

"Only by opening fifteen stations at the same time can you gain sufficient pricing power."

This statement further encouraged Shen Jianjun.

He used to be the chairman of Jianjun Group, and what he enjoyed most was the feeling of controlling industry resources.

Now that his real estate projects have suffered setbacks, he can completely rebuild his career in the sand and gravel industry.

"Manager Chen, we really owe you a lot this time."

Shen Jianjun's tone was unusually sincere: "If it weren't for you, Jianjun Group would have had a hard time finding such a good project."

Sun Mei said with a smug look on her face, "I knew Chen Wen was reliable."

"We've been good friends since college. Now he's been promoted to deputy general manager of Pearl Private Bank, and he's still willing to personally run errands for us."

"Having an old classmate like that is something many people would kill for."

As she spoke, her back straightened up unconsciously.

In the past few days, Shen Jianjun has been asking around for help, but he hasn't been able to borrow a single penny.

In the end, it was through her connections with Sun Mei that she not only secured a loan of 6.9 billion yuan, but also found a highly profitable project that could earn 3 to 4 billion yuan a year.

This time, it was she who held the entire Shen family together!

Thinking of this, Sun Mei couldn't help but look at Shen Jianjun: "Jianjun, now you understand, right?"

"When it really matters, you still have to rely on me."

"Chen Wen is my old classmate, and I'm the one who got him the loan and the project."

"Once the mine goes into production, Jianjun Group will be resurrected. Let's see if those people outside still dare to laugh at us!"

This time, Shen Jianjun didn't refute it. Instead, he nodded and said, "You have indeed made a great contribution to this matter."
