Chapter 12

Without keeping Ye Qing waiting for long, the phone call came back quickly.

"Boss, the person in charge is on a business trip. I informed the general manager, and he will call you back right away. I'm sorry, Boss, for keeping you waiting. Please bear with us."

"No problem, thank you," Ye Qing finally got a taste of what it felt like to have others fawn over him, even if it was just a few flattering words.

But they were sweeter than maple syrup, no wonder big bosses liked to put on airs; they were used to being flattered.

Ha ha~ From now on, I'm a big boss too.

Ye Qing lazily leaned back in his cracked leather office chair, legs crossed, and placed them on the desk that was peeling paint everywhere, waiting happily for the call from the general manager of Tian Sheng Mining Group.

This is the difference. Back then, in a small department of Tian Sheng Mining, a small purchase order would make Ye Qing have to serve them wholeheartedly.

Not only did he have to take care of their accommodation and meals, but he also had to take them to a sauna and a leisure room in the evening.

Now!

In front of a multimillion-dollar order, the general manager of the listed company Tian Sheng Mining had to call personally.

General Manager!

In the past, even if Ye Qing wanted to curry favor, he would have to eliminate at least a reinforced platoon of competitors to get the chance to do so.

"Ha ha~ When the general manager of Tian Sheng Mining calls, I'll put on some airs too."

Ding ling ling~

The old iPhone 4 with a cracked screen rang.

Ye Qing picked up the phone and saw the number.

Damn!

What a great number, six consecutive digits.

"Hello~ Hello, is this Mr. Ye? I am Xia Muqing, the general manager of Tian Sheng Mining Group." A clear and soothing voice, like a lily in a secluded valley, came through.

It's a woman?

Her voice sounds so young, for some reason, Ye Qing felt his heart thumping.

Sometimes, just a voice can stir the heart.

Ye Qing's elementary school classmate Xu Ninggong's voice was like that; her songs were something Ye Qing never tired of listening to.

Now, this lady named Xia Muqing, with her different notes, was interpreting another kind of beauty in sound for Ye Qing.

"Good~ Good~" Ye Qing was a bit dazed, thinking it would be a rough man, but it turned out to be a beautiful lady.

"Mr. Ye, I heard you want to order a large quantity of curb stones." Xia Muqing's Mandarin was so standard she could be a host: "What material do you want to order?"

"Granite, the sesame gray type. I have specific size requirements, and we can discuss the price in detail, but my standards must be met." When it came to business, Ye Qing became serious: "A total of 250,000 pieces, I want to know how soon a batch can be delivered."

"If you specify the size, we will need to cut the stone slabs and make them specially. We can send 70,000 pieces per week to your side."

"Let me send you the details, what's your email address?" Ye Qing found a piece of paper and a pen to write down the email.

"Let's use QQ for the processing, it's more convenient to discuss the details." Xia Muqing laughed a bit shyly.

Just that laugh made Ye Qing suddenly think of a phrase: as beautiful as a jade crown!

Putting aside his wandering thoughts, Ye Qing casually opened QQ and entered her account. Young people these days prefer chat tools over email, as they are more convenient for real-time communication.

Her QQ seemed to be a work account, without even a membership. After the verification, Ye Qing sent Xia Muqing the material and size requirements for the curb stones from the city construction bureau's procurement contract, along with the specified delivery time, and asked her to quote a price.

Soon, Xia Muqing sent over a chart. It showed the prices for different common specifications of curb stones, with a minimum order of 5,000 pieces, a discount for orders over 50,000 pieces, and a total price of exactly 10 million for 250,000 pieces.

This price was very fair. Initially, the city construction bureau wanted to sign a contract with Jiangshan Stone at this price.

It's impossible to negotiate a lower price with these large corporations.

The 10 million price does not include shipping costs, and for large orders, only the shipping costs can be reduced.

Logistics costs are public, and Ye Qing had shipped many machine tools through logistics.

250,000 curb stones weigh about 10,000 tons. Xuanzhou City is 350 kilometers away from Zhongyun City. According to Zhongyun City's logistics prices, it would cost 1.4 million.

This is why Liu Fengjin was certain that Ye Qing would definitely buy the curb stones from Jiangshan Stone.

Who would willingly lose 1.4 million?

Ye Qing was using his actions to express his thoughts.

Tian Sheng Group definitely has a dedicated logistics fleet. After asking which city Ye Qing was in, Xia Muqing said the logistics costs could be reduced to 1 million.

Because of the money, Ye Qing stubbornly haggled over the logistics costs, dragging the conversation back and forth, insisting that Xia Muqing reduce the price further.

After five pages of chat records, Xia Muqing finally sent a [speechless] emoji and reduced the logistics costs to 800,000.

Xia Muqing asked, "Mr. Ye, will you send your employees over, or should I send mine to sign the contract?"

"Neither, let's use an electronic contract, sign it, and send it via fax." Ye Qing was well aware of Tian Sheng Mining's strength and chose a convenient method that only close acquaintances would use.

"Mr. Ye is generous." Xia Muqing sent a bowing emoji.

"Twenty percent of the total contract price as a deposit, which is 2 million. Will you pay by check or company account transfer?"

What!

With a 15 million order, Ye Qing naturally saw himself as a multimillionaire, lazily discussing the contract in his cracked leather office chair.

But in the midst of the discussion, he forgot the reality that he only had 50,000 in his wallet for startup capital.

Ye Qing couldn't tell the other party that a big boss planning to buy 10 million worth of goods only had 50,000 in his pocket; no one would do business with such a person.

At this point, Ye Qing could only use 50,000 to pretend to be a multimillionaire.

"Let's not rush to sign the contract. First, make 1,000 samples and send them over as soon as possible. Give me your company account, and I'll transfer the full payment for the samples and the logistics costs."

"Okay, do we need to sign an electronic contract first?"

"No, it's too much trouble." Ye Qing gritted his teeth, maintaining the air of a big spender.

With a big client willing to pay the full amount for the samples, what could Xia Muqing say? She immediately sent over the company account.

The pitiful 50,000, which hadn't even earned interest in the bank, was mostly transferred out by Ye Qing via online banking.

Xia Muqing said that the marble slabs were ready, and the samples could be made today. To show sincerity, the company's logistics truck would ship them out that night.

"Looking forward to a pleasant cooperation!" Ye Qing concluded.

"Looking forward to a pleasant cooperation!" Xia Muqing replied.

After discussing the preliminary cooperation plan, Ye Qing turned off his computer and went down to the production workshop.

Xia Muqing said the logistics would ship out that night, so if everything went smoothly, they would arrive by tomorrow morning. At that time, the production workshop would start mass-producing the curb stones.

The production workshop needed some minor renovations.

Summoning two strong laborers, Ye Qing had them move all the messy machine parts to the corner of the workshop. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
