Chapter 325: We can transport as much supplies as possible, and we can eat as much as possible.
Chen Minggeng breathed a sigh of relief. The 15 yuan was the result of his efforts. It was not a loss to get % of the arms. He also spent a lot of effort to get the other party to agree. Of course, it was also related to the two types of yam that cured the arms dealer's illness, otherwise the other party would never be so easy to talk to.
"College student, I will arrange for my son to send a telegram in a moment. The ammunition will be delivered to the trading location in ten days. You will definitely not lose out if you buy this batch of arms!"
"I brought 100 tons of rubber this time, and 12 tons were brought in today. You can take it all away at once. It only takes nine days to transport all 100 tons of rubber. Let's pay for the goods. The two magic medicines you produce are really better than gold bars. They sell very well outside. We have already sold some by air, and the effect is surprisingly good."
"I also brought in the arms dealer as a partner. It was with his help that I was able to purchase a large number of cheap canned beef and compressed biscuits. This time, the price I offered was very low. Two canned beef for one dollar, and four boxes of compressed biscuits for one dollar. This was half the price of my old friend. For every ten thousand dollars, I gave away 500 boxes of chocolate and 1000 sugar cubes. If you really calculate it, my profit is very low, and I don't expect to make money from these things."
"The two magic drugs you gave us are sold at a price higher than gold. In order to gain more profits, we directly released two versions. The first version is the original solution, which has the best effect. Each gram is worth more than two grams of gold. The second version is diluted twice and is equivalent to gold. In fact, the diluted version makes more money. But in order to ensure the efficacy, we released two versions with different combinations, so that we can make more money!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you about this. After all, you don't control this channel and can only distribute it through us. The reason why I said it to your face is that I don't want to cause any rift in the future because of this matter and affect the relationship between the two sides!"
"As for the other three medicines you traded to me, they also sold very well and made me a lot of money. In order to maintain our relationship, I don't plan to make a lot of profit from supplying you with canned food and biscuits and other daily necessities. This is just my little thought!"
Lin Zhenhua did not object to Chen Minggeng's behavior. Instead, he felt that this person was trustworthy. Some things should be said face to face so as not to cause misunderstandings and suspicions. Besides, Chen Minggeng deserved to earn the money, so Lin Zhenhua had nothing to object to and especially appreciated his straightforward character.
"Mr. Chen, I brought a large amount of medicine this time. Let's hurry up and count the transactions! For you, delaying time means delaying making money. For me, delaying time means losing a lot of supplies. Let's complete the transaction as soon as possible."
"In addition, I have another favor to ask Mr. Chen. I would like to ask Mr. Chen to help me purchase a batch of copper materials. I wonder if Mr. Chen can help me?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Chen Minggeng's face. The arms dealer he was working with, James, had a copper smelter in Nanyang. However, due to the trade treaty, he had a lot of copper ingots piled up in his hands, and he was looking for a buyer. Isn't this like a sleepy person meeting a pillow?
"College student, Mr. James has several hundred tons of copper ingots. If you need them, we can transport them back in 20 days. However, if you want to transport them back to your base by air, it will probably take nearly a month. You also need to transport rubber and food. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to do so in terms of transportation capacity!"
Lin Zhenhua knew that Chen Minggeng's worries were true and definitely not groundless. He replied with a bitter face: "Mr. Chen, I also know that our current transportation capacity is insufficient. Next, I will find ways to solve the problem of insufficient transportation capacity. I will try my best to transport the goods as soon as possible. After all, if so many goods are noticed by others, it will not be a good thing for both of us. Two platoons of soldiers are simply unable to protect the safety of the goods. We need to immediately activate the second backup location and disperse the goods there, so as to reduce the risk of being discovered!"
Chen Minggeng had the same worry. Once Lin Zhenhua stopped buying biscuits and canned food from his old friend, his old friend would be a tough guy and would definitely interfere. Changing the transaction location had indeed become urgent, otherwise both parties would be in danger.
"College student, we prepared two backup locations before. For safety reasons, we will use both of them this time. Only in this way can we reduce the risk. I will have a good talk with my son tonight. I will also bring my other two sons with me this time. I will try every means to ensure the smooth flow of this trade route and ensure that there will be no problems in the cooperation between the two sides."
Lin Zhenhua nodded without saying anything more. The two sides began to settle the accounts and were busy until the afternoon. Finally, they checked the accounts. Lin Zhenhua handed the medicines he brought to Chen Minggeng in batches and kept working until dark. Only then was the transaction between the two completed.
After Chen Minggeng returned to his residence, he immediately called his son Chen Yuandong over and asked with a gloomy face: "Yuandong, I have learned about your recent situation from Ah Fu. I originally planned to pass on the family business to you. After all, you are the eldest son, but look at what you have done. It is really embarrassing for my Chen family. I have been telling you not to settle small accounts, but to settle big accounts, but you are still staring at the petty gains. I am really disappointed. It is a waste of my training for you."
Chen Yuandong replied with fear on his face: "Father, I did all this for our Chen family. After all, no one knows how long this business can last. We must take this opportunity to take our Chen family's strength to the next level. Not to mention that father was cheated before, and our Chen family almost lost all its assets. Fortunately, father found a new way, otherwise our Chen family would have lived a very miserable life!"
Chen Minggeng angrily scolded, "Yuanming, you are usually very unreliable, but this time he performed much better than you did. He purchased these 100 tons of rubber, which can bring 40 yuan of income to our Chen family, while you worked hard for a month and only earned more than yuan for our Chen family. I won't talk about how big the difference is, just in the way you handle things, you are much worse!"
"Do you think I really have a good relationship with that old guy named Kuang? Even though he keeps calling you his nephew and coaxing you into doing things for him with just a few nice words, you were too stupid to do this. I didn't expect that you would be fooled by that old fox, and the relationship between us and Platoon Leader Wang almost went wrong. The college student pointed this out today just to give us a warning!"
"I know you are very unconvinced and think that without our Chen family, it will be difficult for the other party to find merchants like us who can provide them with supplies. If you really think so, you are totally wrong. The reason why Kuang sold it to us at a high price was that he wanted to make a way out of us and trade with college students by stepping on our corpses. And you were sold without knowing it, this is where you are really stupid!"
"These days, as long as you can afford the price, there is really nothing you can't buy. The reason you can't buy it is because the price you offer is not enough. As long as we trade well with each other, we can earn millions of dollars every month. Rubber is already very profitable for us, but compared with life-saving medicine, it is really a drop in the bucket. There is no comparison at all!"
"The medicines we brought back earlier alone have earned us 50 yuan, especially those two life-saving drugs. It's no exaggeration to say that we are making a fortune every day. This is why I asked you to take over this business. Even if I go out to negotiate business, we can't cut off this supply channel. If we stockpile such good medicines, we don't have to worry about not being able to sell them. This man is willing to pay any price to stay alive. Those two drugs have already opened up sales in Southeast Asia, and they are in short supply."
"We have now opened up a larger channel and are ready to sell it to the two warring factions, which will definitely bring us greater profits. In addition, we have also laid out channels in those places that are not participating in the war. It will be officially launched in three days and will definitely sell a lot. After all, for those rich people, it is never too much to stockpile life-saving medicine!"
"Why do you think James agreed to the deal with us? He was willing to give 30% of the price to sell the weapons to us. It was because those two miracle drugs saved his life and brought him back from the brink of death. That's why he was willing to risk everything and cooperate with us to do this deal!"
"James has planned to return to his hometown to open a food processing factory to specialize in the production of the materials we trade with the Independent Group. The reason why I took so much effort to transport these canned goods and biscuits here is to maintain the relationship between the two parties. After all, relationships need to be maintained. We can't just think about making money without putting in any effort. Otherwise, our business will definitely not last long."
After listening to his father Chen Minggeng's explanation, Chen Yuandong lowered his head in shame and replied with embarrassment: "Father, I was indeed wrong this time. I am willing to apologize to Platoon Leader Wang! To express my apology, I am willing to donate 30,000 yuan worth of supplies to eliminate the rift between the two sides."
Chen Minggeng smiled, patted his son on the shoulder, and said, "You will be the next generation of the Chen family's patriarch in the future. You must think more about things when you encounter them, and don't make decisions directly. I have already made arrangements with your eldest brother and third brother, and I will never compete with you for the family property. Now what you have to do is to transport the materials we transported to the transaction location as soon as possible. You must keep it confidential and never let anyone find out! Our previous pharmaceutical business has already made people jealous, so we must be careful in everything!"
