Chapter 1670 Showdown, the wild cat yelling
"Mr. Zhao."
"Mr. Xu."
Xu Banxia came to Zhao Lei's office and met Zhao Lei. First, he gave Zhao Lei a leather jacket he brought back as a gift.
"Mr. Xu, thank you. You even brought me a gift when you came back. Thank you very much."
"I should be the one thanking Mr. Zhao. If it weren't for Mr. Zhao's support this time, I definitely wouldn't have the money to buy 50,000 tons of scrap steel."
When talking about business, Zhao Lei's expression became solemn.
"Mr. Xu, there is actually one thing I don't quite understand. Since you already know that the international price of scrap steel continues to be low, why do you still buy so much scrap steel?"
Xu Banxia asked in turn: "Actually, I'm also curious. Even though Mr. Zhao knew this situation, he was still willing to send me the money without signing a contract. Aren't he afraid of losing money on this business?"
Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Mr. Xu is more courageous than I thought. Our company purchases the scrap steel you brought back according to the international steel price, especially the scrap steel from the military. The quality of this batch of scrap steel is destined to be poor."
will be poor, so this deal
We will definitely not lose money, and the steel price is falling, but it may not keep falling. If the steel price rises one day, then this transaction will definitely make a lot of money. We guarantee that we will not lose money, but we will make a profit.
Under the premise, why don’t I dare to do it?”
He and Xu Banxia agreed to settle according to the international steel price in Hong Kong, so no matter what, they would not lose money unless the steel price plunged sharply again.
But this possibility of aggregation is almost impossible to happen again. After all, it has dropped by nearly half during this period. If it continues to plummet, the market will collapse.
What's more, getting 50,000 tons of scrap steel at one time is a huge resource. Even a large company like Rongsite needs this scrap steel. Especially in the current sluggish market, these scrap steel are even more important.
.
Even if steel prices rise again in the future, you will earn more.
What Zhao Lei doesn't understand is that Xu Banxia is different from them. They can make some money, but Xu Banxia is hard to say. Let alone making money, thank God if he doesn't lose money.
"Mr. Xu, in fact, you can just hold on to this batch of scrap steel until the price of steel rises before selling it."
Xu Banxia smiled and said: "To be honest with Mr. Zhao, I really have this idea. After all, I am also a businessman and want to make more money, but Zhou Chen woke me up with one word."
"Zhou Chen? It's Mr. Zhou who I met at the stockyard that day. I heard that he was the one who helped you get so much scrap steel this time."
"Yes, if it weren't for him, this trip to the north would be a complete joke."
"What did Mr. Zhou say that made you change your mind?"
"He told me that when doing business, profits are indeed very important, but you can't just look at profits. In order to help me this time, Mr. Zhao gave more than 20 million without a contract. This is Mr. Zhao's friendship. I can't take advantage of him.
The general sentiment is to seek profit for oneself.”
"If I am unwilling to sell this batch of scrap steel to Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao will definitely be investigated and punished by the company. Therefore, Mr. Zhao has affection and trust in me. I cannot cheat Mr. Zhao, so even this time
Even if you don’t make money, you must repay Mr. Zhao’s help.”
After listening to what Xu Banxia said, Zhao Lei was speechless for a long time. In fact, he was already thinking about whether he should follow Xu Banxia's stretch and stop stretching it.
Unexpectedly, Xu Banxia actually said these words.
"Mr. Xu trusts Mr. Zhou very much."
Xu Banxia Yingying smiled: "Of course, he is my boyfriend now, of course I trust him."
Zhao Lei's face froze and he smiled dryly: "Really?"
He helped Xu Banxia definitely because of profit, but he also admired Xu Banxia. He felt that Xu Banxia was honest, courageous, and had a character that could get things done. After being in contact with Xu Banxia many times, he also had a good impression of Xu Banxia.
So now after hearing Xu Banxia say that she and Zhou Chen are boyfriend and girlfriend, her smile becomes stiff, but he is a mature man after all, and he quickly put aside other thoughts.
"Then we should settle according to the steel price on the day of arrival in Hong Kong, as we agreed?"
"As long as the steel price does not plummet again, the settlement will be as agreed. However, Mr. Zhao, I am going to keep 15,000 tons of 50,000 tons of scrap steel and only sell 35,000 tons, so I want to ask Mr. Zhao for help.
Can the payment for 15,000 tons be delayed for a period of time?"
Zhao Lei immediately understood what Xu Banxia meant: "You still don't want to give up. You think the international steel price can still rise. Do you want to keep a minimum guarantee of 15,000 tons?"
"Yes, I do have this idea. Although I have accepted it this time, I am still a little unwilling to accept it, so I want to hold on for a while and see. I just don't know if Mr. Zhao can do this."
"Fifteen thousand tons, this is a payment of millions. I need to think about it."
"There's no rush, the goods haven't arrived at the port yet anyway."
…………
Sitting in front of the piano, Gao Xinyi played the music taught to her by Zhou Chen seriously. Once the song ended, she sat there in a daze again.
This Spring Festival was very boring. She went to her grandparents' place and also stayed with her grandparents for a few days. Shortly after the New Year, her mother began to make subtle suggestions for her to go out to work or take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Suddenly, the cell phone placed aside rang with an incoming call.
Gao Xinyi suddenly became excited. She didn't have many friends, and there were even fewer people who could call her, so when she heard the ringtone of her cell phone, she felt a little bit excited.
I picked up my phone and looked at it, and when I saw a familiar number, a smile suddenly appeared on my face.
"Hey, Zhou Chen, you finally remembered to call me..."
After a while, Gao Xinyi hurried out of the room, picked up his clothes and was about to go out. Gao Yuejin, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, saw it and hurriedly asked: "Gao Xinyi, what are you doing?"
"Zhou Chen comes to get the car keys, and I'll return them to him."
Gao Xinyi put on his clothes, opened the door and ran out without looking back.
Gao Yuejin stood up very dissatisfied, walked to the window, and muttered: "This child is really a girl who was not admitted to college. What good is Zhou Chen? It's so rare to be like this."
Gao Xinyi came downstairs and saw Zhou Chen standing in front of her unit building. She stopped and walked slowly towards Zhou Chen.
"You are finally back. You have been away for more than a month. I thought you would never come back."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "I was delayed by something over there. I didn't even have time to wish you a Happy New Year, but I brought you a gift."
He lifted up the two large handbags in his hands.
Gao Xinyi took a curious look: "What's inside?"
"The leather coats I bought in Tsarist Russia, as well as some scarves, gloves and specialties, are for you, and this are for your mother, President Gao."
Gao Xinyi said in surprise: "You just brought it to me, but you actually brought a gift to my mother. Are you trying to please her or bribe her? Let me tell you, my mother is strict."
Very, I don’t usually accept things from people.”
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "It's just a leather coat, not worth much. Even if it's a small gift from a junior, if you say a few nice words for me, President Gao might accept it."
"Then follow me upstairs and tell my mother yourself."
"No, no need, I won't go up, just take it with you."
"Oh well."
Gao Xinyi took the handbag and asked with a smile: "Is it fun in the north? How many places have you been to?"
"I went to Moscow and the Black Sea. It was freezing and snowy, and there was nothing interesting. If I hadn't been delayed by something, I would have been back long ago."
Gao Xinyi handed the car key to Zhou Chen: "Hey, car key, your things are all in the car, and the gas in the car is also filled up for you."
"Thank you."
"How can we be so polite? Are you free tomorrow? Let's go roller skating."
"Okay, then I'll call you to make an appointment tomorrow."
"No problem, let's just say it. You can go back first. I'm going upstairs. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
Gao Xinyi watched Zhou Chen drive away, and then went upstairs. Gao Yuejin, who had been watching from upstairs, breathed a sigh of relief.
When Gao Xinyi returned home, he immediately shouted: "Mom, Zhou Chen brought something back from the north, and also brought you a leather coat. Come and try it on."
Gao Yuejin snorted coldly: "I'm not related to him, so what does he want to do when he buys me something? I don't want it, so return it to me quickly."
"Mom, it's my opinion. You should try it first before you say anything else."
With that said, Gao Xinyi took out the leather coat from her handbag, including two leather coats, scarves and gloves. She took out her own leather coat and immediately took off her coat and put on the leather coat.
"Hey, I didn't expect that he has quite good taste. This leather jacket is really nice. Mom, what do you think of it? Does it look good?"
Gao Xinyi spun around in front of her mother, showing off her new leather coat, but Gao Yuejin rolled his eyes and said angrily: "It doesn't look good. It's so bright, so it doesn't look good."
