Chapter 69 - 69 74 Discussing Contracts

69: Chapter 74: Discussing Contracts 69: Chapter 74: Discussing Contracts After finalizing the cooperation plan for planting, Li Zhongnan and Guan Xing couldn’t wait to get to shore by boat.

Then, they drove straight to East River Town, found a print shop, and jointly drafted a cooperation agreement.

After signing the contract, Li Zhongnan transferred another one million to Guan Xing.

This funding, deducting the money needed to purchase the “Hollow Ironwood”, the remaining amount would be used as Guan Xing’s initial investment, which would be deducted from the output in the future.

Of course, this amount of money certainly wouldn’t cover a year’s planting cost.

However, it would last for one or two months, no problem, and they’ll figure out what to do once it’s used up.

With the contract in hand, Guan Xing read it over and over again, then checked the phone message from the bank.

His anxious heart finally settled.

At the same time, he was trembling with excitement.

He couldn’t help being thrilled!

With this contract, in no time, he could become a multimillionaire.

Taking a deep breath, Guan Xing composed himself and said, “President Li, I must have amused you.

But, thank you.

I truly appreciate that you’ve given me this opportunity!”

At this moment, Guan Xing was filled with gratitude and respect for Li Zhongnan from the bottom of his heart.

Actually, he definitely was going to plant “Hollow Ironwood” massively if given the price of fifteen hundred per ton.

But, Li Zhongnan offered him twenty-five hundred per ton instead.

At first, Guan Xing was a bit self-satisfied, thinking he had good negotiating skills.

However, after conversing, even before they even arrived in town, the shrewd man exposed his bottom line due to excitement and worry, which was easily figured out by Li Zhongnan.

Nevertheless, Li Zhongnan still honored the agreed price.

He was willing to lose several million a year for this, letting it go easily without even a frown.

His words matched his actions!

He was generous and straightforward!

What a real man!

So impressive, so admirable.

Li Zhongnan gave a casual smile, saying, “It’s not a big deal, President Guan.

We’re just helping each other.”

The value of 4 million gold coins, calculated at 200 soft sister coins each, is—

Eight hundred million!

And this is just one year’s amount!

Besides, one gold coin can be used to restore and refurbish waste goods, and make a difference of more than a thousand.

That is to say, 4 million gold coins can at least bring him a few billion!

Compared to billions, several million doesn’t even matter so much.

There’s no need to break one’s promise over such a small amount of money.

“President Li, rest assured.

I will stop all other businesses and devote myself fully to the planting of Hollow Ironwood,” Guan Xing pledged.

Next, the two men found a restaurant and had lunch together.

After lunch, Guan Xing, needing workers to cut the wood, found a local big shot in town and borrowed some day laborers.

Back to Guan Family Village.

Li Zhongnan asked, “President Guan, how long will it approximately take for the Hollow Ironwood to be cut down completely?”

Guan Xing thought for a moment, and replied, “Cutting the wood is a quick process and will only take few hours, but transportation indeed takes some time.

If fast, by 8 o’clock in the evening, we should be able to have cut down the trees and transported them to your designated place.”

On the way back, they passed a remote intersection.

Li Zhongnan mentioned to Guan Xing that the timber could be transported to that intersection, and then he would arrange for transportation from there.

Li Zhongnan chuckled ruefully, saying, “Does this mean, I’ll have to spend the night at your place?”

Despite some helplessness, it was exactly what he wanted.

Night was good, it was convenient to get things done at night.

By then, there would certainly be no one loitering around this place, and using the system would not risk being discovered.

Guan Xing laughed heartily, saying, “President Li, if you don’t mind, you can stay as long as you want.”

Li Zhongnan nodded and said, “Then I’ll be staying.”

“President Li, I’ll get busy now.

We’ll meet up later for drinks in the evening,” Guan Xing added.

Next, Guan Xing took his day laborers and a small truck and roared off.

Li Zhongnan stayed behind.

At his current status, he certainly didn’t need to handle manual labor like felling trees and transportation personally.

Guan Xing’s house was a three-story building, with the lower two floors for his subordinates and day laborers.

Li Zhongnan went straight up to the third floor and fell asleep in a guest room.

When he woke up, he checked his phone, and saw it was only around four or five in the afternoon.

Feeling hungry, Li Zhongnan went to the living room and had some fruit.

Then, he picked up his phone again to call Li Datou and ask about the situation with the waste recycling.

After the call connected.

“Second Uncle, when will you come back?”

Li Datou began by asking, then started complaining, “Some of the bosses are not willing to hand over the goods to us without cash!”

Li Zhongnan thought for a moment, and said, “We’re a bit tight on funds right now, we might need another ten to fifteen days.

You tell everyone to wait a bit.

I’ll settle the accounts with them as soon as I have the money.”

These days, the money for the phones sold in the Taobao Store had not yet been credited to the account.

Today alone, he spent hundreds of thousands on rent and transferred a million to Guan Xing.

All in all, he had only about five million left in cash.

So, things were indeed a bit tight.

Of course, once the thirty thousand phones were sold, money would no longer be a problem.

“Alright, Second Uncle,” Li Datou responded.

Li Zhongnan asked again, “How much have we collected in these days?”

Even though he occasionally obtained a batch of “Tianyuan Wood”, and could receive two to three hundred thousand gold coins after tonight, waste recycling was always essential.

Because, besides selling to the system for gold coins, they could also restore and sell!

“Not much, we spent less than one million in total.”

Li Datou hesitated a while before saying, “Second Uncle, without cash, and you not being here, some of the bosses have brought their goods and then taken them back directly.”

Li Zhongnan frowned and said calmly, “Who are these people?

Remember them.

From now on, we won’t accept their goods anymore.”

Paying a bit later than usual is a normal business practice.

Fonghuo Trade does the same.

But now that he’s not here, some of these people aren’t giving him any face.

Fine, if they don’t want to sell, we don’t want to buy either.

Now with the “Tianyuan Wood”, and having reached an agreement with Gao Dalong, he didn’t need to worry about these trivial matters.

In the end, those bosses would lose out.

They probably can’t even earn the cost of the oil for transporting the goods to sell elsewhere.

After hanging up the phone, he called Chen Wenzhi to ask about the progress of the construction on the purchase station.

At the end of the call, he transferred another one million to him.

There was no avoiding it, as the company isn’t established yet, everything is simplified.

Unsure people aren’t employed, and employed people aren’t doubted.

This huge project required money even for buying water and cigarettes for the construction team.

Moreover, it was necessary to prepay some of the costs for buying materials and labor.

Chen Wenzhi hasn’t mentioned this to him, probably because he has been using the two hundred thousand given to him earlier.

After making that call, Li Zhongnan called Chen Xiaoting.

Initially, he wanted to tease her a bit, but finding out she was still hiring, he encouraged her a few times before hanging up.

Hiring some temporary order clerks was his suggestion.

The Taobao Store she was managing now sells at least a few hundred phones a day.

There was no way she could handle that alone.

He worried about her.

Whether inside or outside the bedroom, Chen Xiaoting knew how to please him, and he now cared about her deeply.
