Ren Chengjie continued: "Although we have signed a contract, it is not impossible for mine manager Zhang to break the contract. According to the provisions of the contract, breach of contract will require liquidated damages."

It's just liquidated damages. Ren Chengjie knows that coal prices will continue to rise in the next two years, and that small amount of liquidated damages will not be worth the rising profits at all.

"I know that mine manager Zhang has become bigger now. Breaking the contract with my thermal power plant is nothing, but mine manager Zhang knows that there will be a chain effect. If the mine is not honest, who will cooperate with you?"

Ren Chengjie knew that liquidated damages were not enough to scare Zhang Guoquan. Only reputation was what businessmen valued most.

Zhang Guoquan looked at Da Jinya with disdain, and he asked Zhang Guoquan to talk about common things in the family, so as to improve the relationship and help others.

This was great, people misunderstood him and thought that his special visit was to discuss coal prices.

Da Jinya swallowed unconsciously, looking innocent.

"Mr. Ren may have misunderstood."

"oh?"

"We have already signed a contract, so there is no reason to break it."

"Are you not moved by the rise in coal prices?"

"No matter how coal prices rise, once the contract is signed, it is a sure thing. I will only make limited profits so that everyone can develop sustainably and profitably.

Besides, you have to be honest when doing business, and you will never do anything like breaking a contract, so don’t worry, Mr. Ren.”

Ren Chengjie breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if Zhang Guoquan was cheating and stopped supplying him with coal, he would not be able to do anything except accuse him from the moral high ground.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I made an arbitrary decision on this matter. I apologize to Mr. Zhang."

The misunderstanding is eliminated and you suddenly feel hungry and thirsty.

After walking all the way, I really felt thirsty. Zhang Guoquan picked up the small teacup and drank it all. Then he looked at the small teacup with big gold teeth and a finger's width. He took three sips and still didn't finish it.

Is Dajinya not thirsty? Or is there something special about drinking tea?

"Mr. Ren, you must have encountered difficulties."

Zhang Guoquan said, putting the finished tea cup on the table.

Before it landed on the table, Ren Chengjie took it, poured another glass, and placed it in front of him.

Originally he wanted to pour it himself, but Ren Chengjie refused. He thought it was the rule of drinking tea, which was no different from the countryside. When guests came, the host was busy entertaining the guests, so the guests just sat down openly.

Zhang Guoquan calmly accepted Ren Chengjie's tea pouring and handed him a cup.

After several cups of tea, Ren Chengjie said slowly: "To be honest with mine manager Zhang, we did encounter a little trouble."

Zhang Guoquan put down his cup and sounded serious.

Ren Chengjie believed that Zhang Guoquan's arrival was to discuss the increase in coal prices.

If Ren Chengjie refuses to agree, he will naturally be involved in breaking the contract.

There's a reason why he thinks so.

Ren Chengjie's thermal power plant is not just in a place like Lin Province. It is large and small. According to Ren Chengjie himself, he accounts for 5% of all thermal power plants and heating companies in the country.

They are widely distributed, basically in the north.

It’s cold in the north, and the further north you go, the more inseparable the need for heating becomes.

Ren Chengjie said that with the rapid economic development, it is difficult to predict rural areas, but most cities will fully switch to heating equipment. This process may take ten to twenty years.

All in all, the thermal power plant will become an enterprise that protects people's livelihood.

Ren Chengjie has a far-sighted view. After so many years of hard work, he has to enter any business early. If it's too late, he won't even be able to drink the soup.

Therefore, in the past few years, he has done nothing but open thermal plants to every city and occupy positions in advance.

To be honest, due to his excessive expansion and the slow progress of urban heating reconstruction, 80% of his large and small heating plants are in a state of loss.

At this time, rising coal prices are definitely not a good thing for him.

Many of Ren Chengjie's thermal power plants are in other places, and Donglin City is just one of them. This is also his main site, and he usually spends most of his time in Donglin City.

As for the coal required by other thermal power plants, many of them are obtained nearby, which can save a lot of freight and is considered a cost saving.

In Donglin City, including the neighboring province where Pingshan County is located, the increase in coal prices is normal.

But those thermal power plants located across several provinces were not so lucky, and coal prices continued to rise.

When Zhang Guoquan heard this, he probably guessed what happened next.

No, many coal suppliers who signed contracts with him no longer meet the previous prices, and all demand that they be based on the original price and follow the existing market price.

Ren Chengjie naturally didn't want to. After he signed the contract, it was changed as soon as he was told to change it. Then the contract was of no use, it was just a piece of useless paper.

If they can't reach an agreement, the coal supplier will directly break the contract and the compensation will be paid. That compensation and the current rising coal price profit are simply not worth mentioning.

Because of a series of contract breaches and the arrival of Zhang Guoquan, Ren Chengjie had to think like this.

"The reason why Mr. Ren can keep his composure is that it's hot now and it's not yet the heating season."

Thermal power plants work for half a year and rest for half a year. It is now the time when the weather is hot and it is still early for the weather to get cold, so Ren Chengjie has time to spend time with the other party.

But, it has to be solved.

"Mine Manager Zhang saw through it at a glance. In the coal market, when prices were rising across the board, the only person who didn't try to add insult to injury to me, Chengjie, was Mine Manager Zhang."

"Mr. Ren's words are too polite. To put it bluntly, we are suppliers. If Mr. Ren is willing to use them, we can make money."

Zhang Guoquan is not flattering. Compared with the supply relationship and the demand relationship, the supplier is obviously at a disadvantage and begs for food from others.

"I don't like to hear what Mine Manager Zhang said. Mine Manager Zhang also said that if we want to continue to develop, neither party is inferior to others."

"What Mr. Ren said makes sense, I've learned a lesson."

"Okay, I've talked about my difficulties. There's no urgency at the moment, but it has to be solved. I've also seen those people outside. Businessmen, I can understand that they care about one benefit, but I'm not going to do it anymore.

I wonder if Mine Manager Zhang has this intention in using coal from other places?"

Zhang Guoquan hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Ren, you want me to supply coal to thermal power plants in other places like yours?"

"In the eyes of others, this is just a piece of fat, but I know that Mine Manager Zhang is not a real businessman."

"Even if you are no longer a businessman, you still have to get the benefits you deserve. After all, there are so many workers in the mine who need to eat."

"Of course I understand this. Instead of letting others earn money, I am now more inclined to make friends with Mine Manager Zhang. Mine Manager Zhang can come up with a specific plan. Don't worry, I will give Mine Manager Zhang plenty of money."

time."

Zhang Guoquan nodded. This matter was not a small matter. He could not make the decision alone. It spanned several provinces and had to be negotiated with the county through Su Jincheng.

Anyway, there is plenty of time.

Da Jinya didn't speak during the whole process, and sat upright in a serious manner. For those who didn't know, they thought he was the master.

We were chatting and talking about business.

Da Jinya glanced at Zhang Guoquan proudly, saying that it seemed like there would be no harm in chatting more, right? This is how relationships are built.

As we chat, we will inevitably use each other in the future.

Da Jinya is ready to teach Zhang Guoquan another lesson.

He said: "Mr. Ren, there is no need to worry about the coal matter. For the sake of friends, you will not be higher than others. As friends, you will only be lower."

The meaning of the big golden tooth is very simple, I am helping you, Mr. Ren.

And the lesson he wants to teach Zhang Guoquan is to help each other. This relationship is that the more we help, the closer we get, and the more we help, the closer we become.

Don't be afraid of trouble, relationships are born out of trouble.

No one bothers anyone, they are just ordinary friends who meet and exchange a few words at most.

But for people who have trouble with each other, you will find that soon the two friendly people will eat and drink at the same table.

Da Jinya thought that it was a kind of trouble for Ren Chengjie to want Zhang Guoquan to supply coal to his thermal power plant in another place.

The mine is very busy, and the upcoming orders alone are enough. There is no need to supply coal to other places. The journey is long, and losses and freight are all expenses.

Now that a kind of trouble has been successfully established, it's the other party's turn to trouble.

Da Jinya took a symbolic sip of tea and said, "Mr. Ren, you know that Guo Quan is a real person."
