"Mr. Zhang, you should be well aware that the prices of our new soil minerals exported to Europe and Arica exceed $40,000 per ton. Your price is simply too low!"
"It's not low. Isn't it just a quarter of the normal price?" Zhang nglong said with a smile, "I import this coal at a cost of $320 per ton, and the price you offer is also just a quarter, and I haven't even counted the warehousing costs during this period. In comparison, it's already very conscientious!"
"$10,000 per ton, that's my price. If you think it's too low, you don't have to sell it!" Zhang nglong said with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry anyway!"
Kim Taejing felt a bitterness in his heart that he couldn't express. True, you're not in a hurry. You have plenty of money to support your employees; even delaying for a year or two is not a problem.
But they couldn't wait! Not to ntion a year or two; they couldn't even drag it out for a week. This was a matter crucial to the livelihood of the people! If there wasn't enough coal imported this week, the whole Kaibong would directly fall into a predicant of power shortage.
But the price Zhang nglong proposed was simply outrageous.
At $80 per ton, Zhang nglong indeed would lose three to four hundred billion US Dollars, but are coal and new soil minerals commodities of the sa grade?
The export price of 400 million tons of new soil minerals reached $1,600 billion USD, and if calculated at $10,000 per ton, their loss would amount to $1,200 billion USD, which was almost like taking their lives!
"Alright! Mr. Zhang, let's do this: we'll buy that batch of coal from you at the average price you purchased it for! Isn't that worth over $400 billion USD? We'll deduct this amount from the cost of your import of new soil minerals. You want 400 tons of new soil minerals, so we only need $1,200 billion USD. Does that sound fair?"
Even though they would still lose more than three hundred billion US Dollars, these mineral resources weren't visible cash; at most, it was just earning a bit less.
Losing $300 billion USD was much better than losing $1,200 billion USD, wasn't it?
At this juncture, obtaining that batch of coal from Zhang nglong's hands was the most crucial.
"No, no, no, Mr. Kim, $300 per ton was the price then, it's not the price anymore!" Zhang nglong said with a smile, "Now, I can sell this batch of coal to you, but the price has doubled to $600 per ton!"
"You!" Kim Taejing pointed at Zhang nglong, his upper and lower teeth visibly trembling as though he wanted to grind his teeth in frustration.
"Mr. Kim, I had offered you the price of $300 per ton last ti, but you didn't agree. I had also warned you that if you ca to
to buy again, it wouldn't be at that price!"
Zhang nglong said with a smile, "I still maintain what I've always said: I am a businessman, and naturally, a businessman needs to make money; or else, should I go drink the North Wind?"
"Mr. Zhang, don't you think this is a bit excessive?"
"Mr. Zhang, perhaps we could discuss this price again?" Seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere, even President Zhou couldn't help but start diating.
"President Zhou, I made it very clear. If it was last ti, I might have sold it for $300 billion USD per ton, considering the face of our countries' relations, but not this ti." Zhang nglong was unwavering.
"Mr. Zhang, you are deliberately stirring up trouble!" Kim Taejing said, "We have already tried to et your price, but you are insatiable. Is this the right attitude?"
"Bang!" Zhang nglong slamd his palm on the table, and a thick Inner Strength surged from his palm, actually cracking the marble surface of the table!
Zhang nglong's current Inner Strength could kill a Level Four Mutant or Enhancer as if slaughtering a dog—a slap emitted could shatter the internal organs of even an elephant to pieces; had he not pulled back so of his strength, the marble table would have shattered into pieces instantaneously.
But even so, it still gave President Zhou and Kim Taejing quite a shock.
This was a solid marble table after all; who had seen soone able to crack a piece of marble with a slap? Not to ntion the terrifying strength, would ordinary bones not be shattered?
"He is not an ordinary person!" Having dealt with Dark Ninjas before, Kim Taejing was well aware that there were so extraordinary individuals in this world. He had actually always thought that Zhang nglong was just an ordinary person!
"Kim Taejing!" Zhang nglong said coldly, "You know very well what ss you've made; if I didn't have so abilities, wouldn't I have already died in Baodao Province last ti?"
"What?" President Zhou's expression faltered. What did Zhang nglong an by that? He almost died in Baodao Province? Could it be that Jintianjing Long had secretly used so underhanded thods?
Given Zhang nglong's tough stance today, even though he is Zhang nglong, if he had been targeted by an assassination attempt, he definitely wouldn't negotiate business calmly.
"Mr. Zhang, I don't understand what you are talking about," Jintianjing Long said unflinchingly. With President Zhou here, how could he possibly admit that they from Kaibong had sent soone to kill Zhang nglong?
"Fine! 600 US Dollars it is!" Jintianjing Long gritted his teeth. Although there was less than 100 billion US Dollars in profit left, it was still a profit. Their country's new soil mines were rich in resources; just consider it as if a little bit from the reserves was lost.
"Mr. Jintian, don't be anxious," Zhang nglong revealed a hint of a smile, which in the eyes of Jintianjing Long, instantly turned ominously terrifying, "600 USD per ton was the price two minutes ago. Now the price has risen. I want to double it, 1200 USD per ton!"
"Hiss!" Upon hearing the number Zhang nglong called out, President Zhou couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air.
The market price of 60 USD per ton skyrocketed to 1200 USD per ton—nearly a twentyfold increase. This wasn't just a lion's mouth wide open; this was outright daylight robbery!
At this price, their Kaibong's 4 million tons of new soil ore was practically no different from being given away for free.
"Zhang nglong, don't go too far!" The rage in Jintianjing Long's heart erupted like a volcano.
"I'm not holding a knife to your necks forcing you to buy," Zhang nglong laughed, "You can completely decide not to buy."
"Or you could take so money and ask other countries, see if they are willing to sell their coal to you. By then, I will still buy your new soil ore for 40,000 USD per ton!"
"If we could get coal, would we be crazy to co to you?" Jintianjing Long had already cursed all the curse words he could think of in his mind.
"All right, now it's 1300 USD per ton," Zhang nglong, arms crossed in front of his chest, watched with a playful smile, "From now on, every extra minute will see an increase of 100 USD per ton."
"You!"
"Only 50 seconds left in the next minute!" Zhang nglong opened the stopwatch on his phone.
Jintianjing Long's face twitched as if paralyzed; he of course knew why Zhang nglong was being so uncompromising this ti. If it weren't for their last attempt to assassinate Zhang nglong, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
He hadn't anticipated that Zhang nglong's revenge would be so fierce, not only destroying one of their Dark Ninja bases but now even seizing their achilles heel relentlessly—this was truly losing both the wife and the troops!
"Only 30 seconds left! Think fast!"
Jintianjing Long's entire body was twitching, "Fine! Let's do it at the price you ntioned!"
"Haha!" Zhang nglong finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Tomorrow, I will arrange for soone to take over the goods, farewell!" Jintianjing Long felt that every second he stayed here drove him closer to madness, leaving these words behind, he imdiately turned and left.
He had just taken a few steps when he heard Zhang nglong's voice from behind.
"President Zhou, I'm in a good mood today. Let's have dinner tonight!"
"Hahaha! Getting a free ride is just too sweet!"
"Cough cough..." Jintianjing Long suddenly felt a surge of blood rushing up...
