Chapter 396: Chapter 396 Warning
After learning about it, Song Yunuan lavished them with praise and even said she would buy more firecrackers so they could set them off for fun when they arrived.
Zhong Shaoqing was even more expectant of this Spring Festival.
As the Spring Festival approached, Chu Zizhou prepared to return to Beidu, only to find out that Song Ting planned to go ho for the New Year.
Although he was disappointed, it was not unexpected.
No sooner had Chu Zizhou left than Song Yunuan received a letter from Kurt Gymm,
regarding Song Yunuan’s idea of purchasing gold and gemstones, Kurt Gymm had absolutely no objections.
But now a major issue was that if they really wanted to import gold and gemstones, they needed foreign exchange, a large amount of it.
Song Yunuan wanted to work with foreign exchange, but not to spend it.
Moreover, Kurt Gymm had sent her a batch of samples, rough gemstone samples that had already cleared customs.
It was all thanks to the support quota Gu Huai’an had managed to secure for her.
A lot of fees had been waived.
Therefore, Song Yunuan needed to finalize this matter before the school term started.
The price of gold wasn’t high, if we are interested, Song Yunuan could start with this side first.
Furthermore, Song Yunuan didn’t want to spend foreign currency; she was thinking of barter trade.
Kurt Gymm had made a list.
First was silk, followed by rubber products, then agricultural products, alcoholic beverages, as well as wicker and garnt products.
This garnt specifically needed to co from Zhilan Garnt Factory.
Agricultural products, Song Yunuan crossed off the list—there were still many people who weren’t well-fed; they couldn’t skimp on food like this.
Likewise for alcoholic beverages, they were also brewed from grain.
Pig bristles—who would have thought this could also earn foreign exchange.
However, pig bristles were collected by specialized agencies, so there really wasn’t any surplus left.
She called Kurt Gymm.
Things have relaxed a lot nowadays; she just needed to apply at the relevant departnt in the county, and after approval, she could use a designated phone to call Kurt Gymm.
The process went very smoothly, with almost no delay at all.
The call went through, and it was almost picked up instantly.
Song Yunuan was montarily stunned,
as was the accompanying official, who was also surprised.
Then Song Yunuan found out that this silly boy Kurt Gymm had been waiting by the phone these past few days.
After the routine greetings, Kurt Gymm spoke to Song Yunuan in Dragon Kingdom’s language on the other end.
And boy, he was quite fluent; it looked like he had put in the effort.
The two of them dealt with the official business.
The preliminary agreent for barter trade was reached.
Song Yunuan didn’t bother with asking him if he had the authority to decide on such matters.
This Kurt Gymm belonged to the Gymm family of Country X.
His father had inherited the family’s fortune, he was Old Gymm’s only son, and the apple of his eye.
However, the Gymm family was no stranger to internal strife.
Therefore, Kurt Gymm, still a student, had to start learning about family affairs early.
If he lacked ability, the heir would have to be replaced.
Naturally, Song Yunuan would not cheat him.
Not only would she not cheat him, but she also planned to give him a piece of news.
This ti, the preliminary agreent included trading silk garnts, wicker storage boxes, other crafts, pig bristles, and the wooden furniture factory’s folding solid wood dining tables.
Then Kurt Gymm would co to Dragon Kingdom with his assistant to sign the agreent.
If the cooperation went smoothly, the scope would be expanded.
The official at her side was agape and trendously excited.
He understood.
Could their county’s garnts, wicker work, folding dining tables, and pig bristles really trade for gold and gemstones for the country?
Not to ntion gemstones, just speaking of gold, at any ti, gold was vital.
Furthermore, a variety of machinery and production lines could be exchanged afterward.
What about food?
This is also very important.
Country X is vast with chanized agriculture, and they have fertilizers to boost crop yields; besides, their population is many tis smaller than ours.
But to truly spend foreign exchange to buy food, we absolutely can’t afford it.
If Song Yunuan and Kurt Gymm could successfully collaborate and sustain it for the long term, then it would undoubtedly be a great achievent.
The clerk was almost entirely in an excited state, yet had to try extrely hard to suppress it.
Song Yunuan was almost ready to say goodbye when she suddenly said, “Kurt Gymm, do you trust ?”
At that mont, Kurt Gymm was making a silent gesture at his father Old Gymm who was about to walk over.
Seeing his son’s expression, Old Gymm, dressed in a suit, smiled and wrote on a piece of paper: I’m going to West Canyon, I’ll be back in about a week, you can call
if sothing cos up, don’t look for
if it’s not important, are you talking to that Miss Song Yunuan?
Have a good talk, good luck!
He then placed the piece of paper where Kurt could see it on the table.
Afterward, he walked towards the outside.
West Canyon was a favorite spot for these mountain climbing enthusiasts.
This ti it was also a sort of global gathering.
After seeing his father leave, Kurt quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then imdiately said, “I trust you!”
Kurt had thought that Song Yunuan was asking them to deliver goods first or offer a further discount on the price.
But the next mont, he heard Song Yunuan say, “I rember that to the west of your city, there’s a place called West Canyon, where many climbing enthusiasts like to et.
Before collaborating with you, I also looked up a lot of information about West Canyon.
I analyzed that a volcano there is going to erupt in the next few days.
If you want to climb, it’s better to choose a different location.”
Kurt stared blankly at the note.
Suddenly, his heart pounded like thunder.
Song Yunuan didn’t know what had happened on the other end, nor did she know that just monts before, Old Gymm had co and gone, leaving behind a note about going mountain climbing.
It was just because she rembered the news of West Canyon’s volcanic eruption in January 1981.
There was an entire mountain climbing team from the upper social circle that perished.
Even in a book, the frawork is based on reality; certain people and events might change, but natural events won’t.
For example, the rainy season in Erdao River Village last sumr was exactly the sa as described in the book.
In Song Yunuan’s world, she also often went to Country X, but she had never heard of Kurt Gymm, and Old Gymm and young Kurt seed as if they had never existed.
In the Gymm family, John Joen was the person in charge.
So, giving a heads-up was also for the smooth progress of her own business.
When Kurt ca to his senses, he felt breathless.
He said, “My father just left a note, he’s going to West Canyon, I…
I have to chase after him, I I I…”
Song Yunuan interrupted promptly, “Hurry up and bring him back, we’ll et in Beidu!”
Then Song Yunuan hung up the phone with a click.
Kurt hesitated for a mont, then set down the phone and ran out of the manor like a madman.
He ran fast and saw his father about to get into the car, he shouted hoarsely, “Don’t go, stop!”
Old John was startled by such a yell.
He then stood in front of the car door, puzzled, watching his son charging like a bullet.
The expression on his son’s face was very distraught.
What had happened?
In fact, he did not approve of his son doing business with Song Yunuan.
But since his son wanted to enter the Dragon Kingdom market, he had no choice but to support him.
Could it be that Song Yunuan demanded more concessions, asking for more advantages?
They had already made enough concessions, to concede any further would be a loss.
A young girl, how can she be so greedy?
Old Gymm felt a touch of discontent in his heart, and he couldn’t help but rember what his father used to say, that they are a nation of cowards, selfish and greedy.
His father had scorn and disdain for them.
To this day, the family still possessed several trophies gifted by friends from the Dragon Kingdom…
