I've already become an immortal, and the global cultivation world is only just beginning?

Chapter 24 Negotiations

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Li remained unusually silent.

Jiang Heng didn't say much, but instead looked at the panel.

Elder Zhang Li of the sect felt a slight tremor in her Dao heart. "The heavy donations for incense offerings are the foundation of the sect's operation; how can they be promised lightly?"

However, she appreciates your sincere desire to "experience the world" and, judging from the information on the "Pinglin Refining Pavilion," its foundation is not yet severed, and there is still a glimmer of "good fortune" remaining.

Does your company also have information on Pinglin Building Materials?

Jiang Heng was slightly puzzled, but considering that the information of many manufacturers' merchants was shared, there was nothing wrong with that.

Just like when some merchants are known to be defaulters or owe money, the news will basically spread within the local steel industry circle.

"Manager, I think there is indeed a chance."

After Jiang Heng realized that Manager Zhang wasn't really angry, he seized the opportunity and asked for some authority.

"Leaving aside distant places, I'm right here now. This shop's location seems alright. I chatted with the owner for a bit, and he doesn't seem like he's just all talk."

It looks like there's something urgent going on, and they're having a temporary cash flow problem...

"It's not that we can't talk."

Zhang Li interrupted Jiang Heng, saying, "It's not like the company hasn't taken on these kinds of orders before, but you're a newcomer, and Pinglin Building Materials is a new client for our company as well."

Therefore, if we really want to talk, we must first ensure that the risks are controllable.

"Manager, you say it." Jiang Heng heard there was hope and didn't interrupt.

"First, the proportion of credit sales should not be too high, and there should be a limit on the amount of credit sales."

Zhang Li reverted to her usual cold, businesslike demeanor.

"The exact amount depends on the quantity of his first order."

Second, he must have some collateral.

Real estate, vehicles, or third-party guarantees.

Third, and most importantly!

Since you're the one negotiating this deal, Jiang Heng, you need to follow up on it from the moment you close the deal.

From mortgage, contract signing, and delivery to the final collection of payments.

If we ultimately fail to collect the payment, you will bear the responsibility, do you understand?

Although Elder Zhang had slightly increased her favorability towards you before, she was well-versed in the art of self-preservation and knew the dangers of the martial world.

[She intends for you to enter into the "Heavenly Dao Contract Law". Once this contract is concluded, if there is any mishap with the offerings and donations, the consequences could range from deduction of salary and expulsion from the sect, to divine punishment for the "Heavenly Dao Contract Law".]

Jiang Heng's face twitched as he looked at the "Liability Legal Contract" on the panel.

But considering the 50 contribution points, the long-term customer, and the fact that the panel had already covered the costs, it's clear that the customer was grateful.

Jiang Heng gritted his teeth one last time.

"I'll take responsibility! I'll go talk to him about the contract right now, and I'll report back to the company after all the collateral and other details are listed."

"Go ahead." Zhang Li was somewhat displeased by Jiang Heng's "recklessness," but she still reminded him:

"Remember, the collateral must be the original. Read the contract carefully, word by word!"

After saying that, Zhang Li hung up the phone.

But in her heart, she felt that Jiang Heng's "recklessness" and willingness to take risks were at least better than his previous slacking off.

You have successfully persuaded Elder Zhang to grant you the right to a contractual agreement on limited credit.

You will see accurate prompts on the panel.

Jiang Heng took a deep breath, turned around, and walked back to the store entrance in front.

When the boss saw Jiang Heng return, he was anxious and quickly came over, holding the flyer Jiang Heng had given him in one hand.

Little did they know that it was rather strange that this boss was so enthusiastic towards his sales staff.

Ultimately, the company is the seller, and he is the buyer.

He should be 'God'.

"Manager Jiang," he said politely, "I see your company's goods are very good..."

As he spoke, he basically praised Jiang Heng's company's goods and also mentioned that his shop was in a good location and that business was good.

All of this was his way of laying the groundwork for the later topic of "buying on credit".

Of course, he wouldn't say he owes money; he would only say "goods first."

Jiang Heng and the other man chatted like this, their conversation moving from outside to the small office inside.

We chatted for another ten minutes or so in the office.

Finally, after finishing both cups of tea, it seemed the time was almost right.

The "Boss Lin" tentatively asked, "I was wondering if we could have some payment upfront when we place the order?"

"Boss Lin." Jiang Heng's gaze swept over the somewhat empty shelves outside the office.

"I'm someone who's in the steel industry, after all. Seeing the situation in your shop and your mention of 'delayed payments,' I know exactly what's going on."

It's nothing more than a slight economic situation.

Jiang Heng looked at him, "Boss Lin, if it's convenient, could you tell me?"

"I..." Upon hearing this, Boss Lin opened his mouth, wanting to explain that he wasn't short of money.

But in the end, he could only sigh and say "Alas".

Because he has been frequently going to the hospital these past few days, two of the shop's workers have also been laid off.

When the neighbors asked the laid-off workers, they generally knew what had happened.

Jiang Heng could find out if he inquired.

"There's something going on at home..." Boss Lin wasn't trying to play the victim; he was just telling the truth and explaining some things that had happened at home to Jiang Heng.

After saying this, he shook his head, a bitter smile or a look of helplessness on his face. "I can give up the business, but I only have one mother..."

After hearing his words, Jiang Heng didn't say much, only saying, "We can discuss the matter of buying on credit."

"Really?" Lin Ping had already given up and didn't think that "Manager Jiang, who was focused on making money by running the business," would pity him because of his filial piety.

But upon hearing this, his eyes reddened, and he stood up, his voice trembling, saying, "Thank you so much! Manager Jiang, you've really...you've really helped me a lot!"

"Mr. Lin, don't thank me yet."

Jiang Heng waved his hand, telling him to sit down.

"I'm just saying that credit is possible, but there are some conditions."

"Please tell me!" Boss Lin said as if he had grasped at the last straw, waiting for Jiang Heng's "credit terms".

Jiang Heng also relayed Elder Zhang's three requests.

However, after hearing this, the gratitude on Boss Lin's face was replaced by solemnity.

"The upper limit... I understand, after all, nobody wants to take on the risk..."

He looked at Jiang Heng, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "But my current house is rented, and the shop is also rented... I can't come up with any collateral..."

However, my family has a small house in the old town, about 50 square meters, which was left to me by my father. The property certificate is still at home, and I can use it as collateral immediately...

"Manager Jiang, what do you think... is this okay?"

To escape the predicament of "excessive incense offerings," Master Lin willingly sacrificed the "ancestral cave dwelling land deed," a desperate act driven by his unwavering desire to save his mother, a truly pitiful act.

"Okay." Jiang Heng glanced at the panel, then stood up and nodded. "But we need the original documents, a formal mortgage contract, and a trip to the notary office. Mr. Lin, is that acceptable?"

"Yes!" Boss Lin nodded hurriedly, but fearing Jiang Heng might change his mind, "As long as your company is willing to extend credit, none of this is a problem!"

"Alright." Jiang Heng also took out a notebook from his backpack. "You just said you urgently need the goods. What are the specific specifications? How much do you need? And you need it the day after tomorrow?"

"right!"

Boss Lin quickly pulled out a customer order from his drawer and displayed it to Jiang Heng without any hesitation.

"This order is for a construction site in the west of the city. They urgently need a large batch of 20mm and 25mm welded pipes, with a total price of about 170,000 yuan."

The manufacturer I worked with before... sigh, they didn't consider our past relationship at all, insisting that the risk was too high and demanding full cash payment...

As Mr. Lin spoke, he shook his head again, "Sigh, the contractor for that construction site is from another province, so the risk is indeed too great. Actually, it's not their fault."

"It can only be said that everyone has their own troubles."

Jiang Heng carefully looked at the order form. "Okay, Boss Lin, since the goods are needed urgently, let's get the process going today. I'll have the factory prepare the goods today."

The day after tomorrow morning, I'll keep an eye on things at the factory and deliver it to you to make sure this deal isn't delayed. What do you think?

"Great! Manager Jiang! You're truly my benefactor!" Boss Lin's eyes reddened with emotion, and he instinctively gripped Jiang Heng's hand tightly. "I'll go home right now to get the property certificate!"

[You have reached a preliminary agreement with Pavilion Master Lin on a "spiritual material credit agreement," and Pavilion Master Lin is extremely grateful.]
