now.
The other underlings also said:
"Yeah, Brother Quan! The most important thing right now is to prepare all the materials as quickly as possible, even if we earn a little less..."
"The amount that Heilong wants is too large. Even if we can earn 10% from the middle, it will be an enormous number."
"Now is not the time to drive down prices. Those building material companies won't sell if they're not making a profit or losing money..."
"Loss... but not selling... heh..." Wang Quan said disdainfully, "So what if they lose money? If they sell to us now, they'll only lose a little. If they don't sell... they'll be stuck with this mess! Didn't you hear Master Shen's attitude just now?"
What's the attitude?
The underlings looked completely puzzled.
Wang Quan: "Why did Master Shen agree to cooperate with us, and even say that I would become the number one supplier for the Heilongjiang Engineering Department? And why did he offer us so many favorable conditions?"
One of the underlings said, "Because we were the first to agree to cooperate, that's called... spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones... yes... that's the phrase..."
Wang Quan: "Why did Master Shen spend so much money to buy horse bones? Why didn't he buy them from those medium and large suppliers? Why did he choose me, a small and medium-sized supplier? And he even answered my call personally."
The younger brother said, "Of course, it's because those medium and large-sized suppliers don't dare to cooperate with Heilong. I heard that they moved their building materials and equipment from the construction site to a hidden location in the suburbs in advance. For them, cooperating is death! They don't dare not cooperate! They can only take the goods away and tell Heilong Group that they have no goods."
The other underlings nodded in agreement.
This is common knowledge among building materials and equipment suppliers in the northern province; it's hardly a secret.
Wang Quan: "You all know about this, do you think the big shots in Black Dragon know about it?"
Brother: "Of course I know!"
Wang Quan: "So you're saying that with Heilong Group's domineering nature, they'll just let these suppliers cheat them? No way! Whether it's for their own reputation or their own intimidation, Heilong Group will make those medium and large-sized suppliers not dare to ship their goods at all. No matter which real estate project wants to buy them, they won't dare to sell to them. They can only stockpile them. With such a large amount of goods sitting in their hands, do you think they won't get anxious...?"
The younger brother's eyes lit up: "Of course they're anxious!"
Wang Quan: "They're anxious but dare not sell to others! They can only sell to their competitors, but all their competitors in the northern province are facing the same situation. If they can't sell their own goods, who will buy someone else's? Now that I'm taking over their goods, it's a lifesaver for them! I'm only offering them a 30% discount, and they'll be incredibly grateful..."
One of the underlings said, "But what if they take the goods out of the province and to another place?"
Wang Quan: "Putting aside the risk of the Black Dragon Group discovering the situation, our industry is highly localized! If he goes to other provinces to compete with other forces for jobs, he might not make any money and could easily get himself into trouble. Right now, the only one who can save them is me! Perhaps there are one or two other people who cooperate with the Black Dragon Group, and I'm sure they will make the same choice as me or even be more ruthless."
He wasn't exaggerating: all of this was after careful consideration! Thirty percent may seem exaggerated, but it's actually quite reasonable. The thirty percent he mentioned is thirty percent of the market price, which means that the building material supplier would only lose about one-tenth of their cost, which is within an acceptable range.
All the underlings understood and couldn't help but give Brother Quan a thumbs up:
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"
"Brother Quan really has the air of a boss..."
"Follow Brother Quan and you'll eat nine meals in three days!"
"Haha..." Quan Ge laughed loudly, "Stop with the nonsense, let's get to work! This battle! There's no turning back!!!"
"Cheer! Cheer! Cheer!"
...
Engineering Department Office!
Snap!
Shen Tianci hung up the phone.
silence!
A profound silence!
Because Shen Tianci used speakerphone when he answered the phone, Chen Kai and the others could hear it very clearly, but it was precisely because they could hear it so clearly that they were bewildered:
A small building materials supplier asks to provide five construction sites?
My own Tianci brother isn't satisfied!
The other party dared to boast that they could gather ten construction sites in three months!
Brother Tianci immediately booked fifteen construction sites over two months!
...
Most importantly: How could Wang Quan possibly agree, and even sign a military pledge to guarantee the completion of the mission?
who is he?
Do you even know how much building materials a large construction site needs? How much would fifteen construction sites need? It's in the hundreds of millions! It would take countless days and nights to haul them all away with huge trucks!
This is completely unreasonable!
Chen Kai: "No way? He's bragging! Fifteen construction sites! Even large building material suppliers can't gather that much inventory on their own, how could a small to medium-sized building material supplier like him have that much stock! I heard that the Fangshan District has partially closed off the import and export of building materials in the northern province, so he doesn't even have a place to get supplies... Two months! Fifteen construction sites! Impossible!"
Other senior executives also shook their heads:
"That doesn't make sense! Where did he get so many building materials? And judging from his tone, he's offering us a 10% discount from the market price."
"He can't even keep up with the costs! What makes him dare to gamble? Is there something fishy going on here?"
"........"
call....
Shen Tianci exhaled a puff of smoke: "You're all mistaken. Who says goods have to be imported? Right now, there's a lot of stockpiled goods in the Northern Province that have nowhere to be sold..."
These words were spoken.
Whoosh...
Chen Kai and the others immediately realized what was happening.
They're not stupid to have reached their current positions; they've gained valuable experience and broadened their horizons over the past two years. They were just a bit impatient, which led them into a dead end.
"Holy crap! The medium and large-sized building material suppliers are too scared to sell their goods because of Brother Tianci. They're stuck with unsold stock, and who knows what might happen to them. Is Wang Quan planning to take advantage of this to buy their stuff?"
"That's right! Large and medium-sized building material suppliers have plenty of stock. If he can secure a portion of it, he could supply fifteen of our construction sites. No wonder he dared to make such a promise..."
Chen Kai and the others looked surprised.
First, they realized what the king would do and understood that his chances of success were very high.
Secondly, they discovered that everything seemed to have been anticipated by their own brother, Tianci, and that his previous calls to those medium and large-sized suppliers were actually laying the groundwork for this.
Their gazes toward Shen Tianci turned awe-inspiring.
Shen Tianci calmly said, "Don't look at me! I only heard Brother Jiang mention it once! If we're talking about who's awesome, it's Brother Jiang!"
Chen Kai: "Brother Jiang...awesome! (voice cracks)"
"Brother Jiang is forever a god!"
"Brother Jiang! A god-like man!"
"A legend from the North, a black dragon emerges from the river!"
.....
a long time.
The cheers for Brother Jiang in the office finally subsided.
Chen Kai: "What's next?"
Shen Tianci: "Wait for the call..."
soon!
Then, bold building material suppliers and equipment dealers called again; there's never a shortage of people willing to take the gamble.
......
On the other side.
The Fangshan faction had no idea that their upstream and downstream blockade had completely failed...
