Chapter 307: Do you want a ton of love for $1,000?
"What did you say?" Kaneda Jingryu's expression changed drastically.
Sure enough, he had thought everything too simply just now, and Zhang Mengyu agreed so readily that he really thought it had shocked him. It seemed that the clown was actually himself!
Due to the shortage of natural gas resources, the above-mentioned quota indicates that the import of coal resources this year must reach at least 350 million tons, and the price is also controlled at US$80 per ton.
According to the current international situation, US$65 per ton is already considered a relatively high price.
If the import price is 65 US dollars per ton, domestic coal and electricity companies will have a huge profit margin, and they will definitely rush to do it!
80 US dollars per ton, then 350 million tons is 28 billion US dollars, which is the total amount of funds they plan to use to import coal this year.
But what Zhang Mengyu said was a liquidated damages of 27 billion U.S. dollars. If this part of the liquidated damages of 1 billion U.S. dollars was really deducted, how could they still import a der?
Who the hell asked you to set such a liquidated damages when you signed the contract? Are you afraid that you won't be able to pay it out?
Kanedai Ryuu was going crazy.
But when Zhang Menglong signed the agreement, he never considered this matter at all.
First of all, Zhang Mengyu directly paid off the money for the coal purchase for one year, so for him, there was no breach of contract at all.
Even if this situation really happened, he didn't take it to heart at all, just 27 billion U.S. dollars, and just took it out. After all, when Zhang Mengyu was enough to buy this batch of coal, the premium alone would be more than 27 billion U.S. dollars.
, if he really cared about the money, he wouldn't raise the price so high.
"What are you doing? You don't believe me? Are you afraid that I will trick you?" Zhang Mengyu said to Hong Yi, "Hong Yi, make a copy of those contracts and show it to Mr. Jing Long, lest he say that we are cheating on their money!
"
"Okay Mr. Zhang," Hong Yi said, "Director Zhou, I would like to borrow your printer."
"Miss Hong, please come this way."
A moment later, Hong Yi walked into the conference room with a stack of contract documents.
"Mr. Kaneda, please take a look!" Zhang Mengyu moved the pile of documents in front of Kanedai Ryu.
"Liquidated damages for Bowen Coalfield, US$10 billion!"
"Sydney Coalfield, liquidated damages of US$4 billion!"
"Sumatra Coalfield, liquidated damages of US$5 billion!"
...
Looking at these shocking numbers, Kanadai Ryu's hands couldn't help but tremble.
Not only are these liquidated damages, but also the import amount stipulated in the contract, the cheapest coal is 220 US dollars per ton!
Sometimes, whether or not to charge liquidated damages can be resolved through negotiation between the two parties. If both parties enter into a cooperation agreement through peaceful negotiation, there are also cases where liquidated damages are not charged.
But this is totally fucking different!
The highest price offered by Jie Pengguo was only 80 US dollars per ton, and the lowest price offered by Zhang Mengyu was more than twice theirs, and even reached an unbelievable 400 US dollars per ton!
If you ask someone if they are willing to terminate the cooperation and buy your coal worth tens of dollars per ton instead of buying coal worth several hundred dollars per ton, no one with any brains would agree to this.
If they sell it to Zhang Mengyu, they can easily earn tens of billions of dollars! And it will be settled on the spot without default!
Selling it to them in Jie Pengguo, not to mention whether the money earned was as much as Zhang Mengyu's, they would be very tired just because they would beg their father and grandma to ask for the money.
They need to negotiate to terminate this contract, unless they are crazy!
Therefore, the liquidated damages cannot be small!
"Mr. Zhang, this liquidated damages is an agreement between you and those coal fields. I'm afraid it's unreasonable to ask us to collect this liquidated damages, right?" When Kaneda Jingryu said this, he even felt a little unconfident.
"Mr. Jintian, are you the idiot or am I?" Zhang Menglong said unceremoniously.
"Mr. Zhang, please pay attention to your attitude when you speak!" When Zhang Mengyu scolded him as an idiot in front of his face, Kanedai Ryu's expression suddenly became ugly.
"Mr. Jing Long, considering the relationship between our two countries, I made such a huge sacrifice and willingly handed over this batch of coal to you, and now you treat me as an idiot? I lost 27 billion for no reason.
Dollar, do you think I’m doing charity?”
Zhang Menglong continued, "When I bought the coal, I gave them all the liquidated damages. Otherwise, how easy would it be for you to receive the liquidated damages directly when you received the termination agreement?"
"You are so miserable!" Kanedai Ryu cursed in his heart. Does it make any difference to you whether you buy those coals or not? If you don't buy those coals, will you have no hot water to take a bath or no fire to cook?
Their country needs this coal to generate electricity, but what about you? This is just a bargaining chip for you to negotiate.
"Mr. Zhang, this batch of coal is dispensable to you. There is no need to bear to part with it, right?"
"Why doesn't it exist?" Zhang Mengyu said righteously, "I am an environmentalist, and these coals carry my dream of energy conservation and emission reduction. I give them to you, which sacrifices my contribution to the greenhouse effect.
The great dream of making a contribution, isn’t that considered a sacrifice?”
"Good guy, this dream is so great, I almost cried!" Hong Yi next to him was stunned for a while. Zhang Menglong's ability to bullshit is really getting better and better every year.
"Mr. Zhang, since there is no negotiation about liquidated damages, it will be the same if you sell the coal directly to us once the coal is in your hands."
"That's okay!" Zhang Menglong smiled, "$1,000 per ton, how much do you want?"
"What? $1,000?"
"Why don't you go and grab it?"
Kanadai Ryu and his two assistants immediately jumped on the case. The price was US$1,000 per ton, which was more than ten times the market price!
Their $2.7 million cannot even buy 30 million tons of coal!
30 million tons of coal is probably enough for them to use for a month, right?
"How to rob? Don't say it so harshly. I am a businessman. When doing business, a businessman must make money, right?" Zhang Menglong said confidently, "Americans sell Apple mobile phones for 10,000 yuan each.
The cost of the mobile phone is only more than 2,000, so you have to earn 4 times the money, right?"
"My average purchasing price for coal is almost US$300 per ton, and I haven't even factored in transportation and storage fees! I sold it to you for US$1,000 per ton, which is less than three times. Why do you say you are robbing it?"
"Besides, I think you are using the iPhone very well!"
"Their costs only include material expenses, and the R&D expenses and advertising expenses add up to much more than that. How can this be the same?" said Kaneda Jingryu.
"Then I spent time talking to them on the phone to discuss business. The time, energy and saliva I spent, why can't it be counted as added value?"
"You are using strong words to make sense!"
"My time, Zhang Menglong, is worth so much money. Do you have any objections?" Zhang Menglong said, "1,000 US dollars per ton. If you want me, if you don't want me, get out. If I don't sell, how can you still buy and sell me by force?
"
"Zhang Mengyu, don't go too far!"
"Bang!" Zhang Menglong stood up with a slap on the table, "Please understand, you are begging me now, not me. Don't think that I will be afraid if you move your flag!"
