Chapter 18 All the Amber in the World Comes from Hualin
Chen Jie never expected that this batch of amber rough stones would be worth as much as 5.482 million!
According to his original estimate, the total price was around 4.8 million.
This shows that the price offered by Huayun International is indeed the fairest in the industry.
Upon hearing the final total price, Chen Jie's positive impression of Huayun International increased even further.
"But—but—!"
Lei Yuan looked at Chen Jie with a hesitant expression and stammered.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Jie noticed that something was wrong with her expression and asked in a surprised tone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, this batch of goods is just too large."
"We want to acquire the entire company, but we don't have enough funds in our company's accounts to cover the transaction!"
Lei Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke frankly, "Our company currently only has 300 million yuan in working capital, so—"
Generally speaking,
Jewelry companies typically have fixed cash flow cycles, so they usually don't have much liquid cash on hand.
For a company like Huayun International Jewelry Center to have 300 million yuan in working capital is considered to be in a very good position in the industry.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie nodded slightly, thinking to himself that he had just expected this.
No matter how large a jewelry store is, it simply cannot handle such a massive supply of goods.
Both the capacity of the sales channels and the speed of capital recovery are extremely limited.
However, Huayun International's reputation is indeed trustworthy, and Chen Jie does not want to miss out on this reliable distributor.
"Transfer 300 million to me first, and the remaining 250 million for the goods can be settled within three months."
Chen Jie's tone was crisp and decisive, without any hesitation.
He trusts no one in this world!
Although Huayun International currently enjoys a good reputation, Lei Yuan's work style also satisfies him quite a bit.
But as a disciple of the White Bone Sect, he would never easily trust anyone.
He only ever believed in himself, and could only believe in himself!
Therefore,
He dared to buy on credit, so he wasn't worried at all that Lei Yuan would default on her debts.
If Lei Yuan dares to use any tricks to delay payment, he has plenty of ways to make her bow down and submit.
To put it extremely, he was absolutely certain that he could make Lei Yuan's entire family disappear from this world completely.
Upon hearing this, Lei Yuan's eyes lit up instantly, her face filled with surprise, and she quickly said:
"Okay! Thank you so much for your trust!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will definitely transfer the remaining payment to your bank account in full within three months!"
"I'll arrange for someone to handle the accounting right now and transfer the money as soon as possible!"
She's no fool to be able to manage such a large jewelry company.
The fact that the other party dared to let me buy 250 million on credit means they must have something to rely on.
Chen Jie's attitude was particularly decisive; he agreed to buy on credit almost without hesitation.
This kind of courage is something that ordinary people do not possess.
Therefore,
From beginning to end, she never once entertained the thought of defaulting on her debt.
"It's a pleasure working with you! Let's go have lunch first. It's on me, I'll treat everyone to a meal."
After receiving the bank notification that 300 million yuan had been deposited into his account, Chen Jie took the initiative to invite Lei Yuan to lunch.
For him, this lunch held no special significance.
In addition to Lei Yuan, he also invited all the core employees of Huayun International.
Around noon, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at the Liwan Hotel.
Although Chen Jie insisted on treating everyone, Lei Yuan had no intention of letting him pay, and in the end she paid the bill first.
-
After lunch, Chen Jie returned to his old rented room.
Subsequently,
He went to the warehouse where the amber rough was stored and personally selected about twenty kilograms of top-quality amber rough.
After careful online research and comparison, he plans to find a second amber dealer as soon as possible.
After Huayun International takes on this batch of goods, it will take at least three months, or even longer, to process them.
Chen Jie simply couldn't wait.
We must find a second distributor as soon as possible to ensure a continuous flow of funds.
After leaving the warehouse, Chen Jie carried a backpack and headed to Liwan District again.
He only carried about one kilogram of top-quality amber rough in his backpack, in order to avoid attracting attention.
He put all the remaining raw stones into his storage bag.
Oulina Jewelry Store!
This is the second potential distributor he selected after comparing and screening various options.
All the world's amber comes from Hualin!
This statement is absolutely true within the entire amber industry.
The Hualin Commercial and Trade Center on Xiajiu Road in Liwan District, Guangzhou, is the largest amber trading center in the country.
The Huayun International Jewelry Center is actually located within the Hualin business district.
There are over a thousand amber shops in the entire Hualin business district.
More than 80% of the amber in the country is distributed from here.
The scale of Ouliana Jewelry Store is even larger than that of Huayun International.
It has a huge stall in the Hualin business district and a dedicated processing center and fine carving factory in Songgang, making it one of the leading businesses in the domestic amber processing industry.
Chen Jie's primary criteria for selecting distributors are whether the other party has extensive sales channels and strong financial resources.
He would never consider it if the scale was too small.
He didn't have the extra time to grow alongside the other company.
They also lacked the patience to give the other party ample time to develop sales channels.
What he wanted was for the other party to immediately take over his supply of goods and quickly recoup his investment.
To know,
In the warehouse where the raw amber stones are stored, there are more than ten tons of raw amber stones that he moved from the Canglan World.
If it's a small-scale collaboration, who knows when all the raw stones will be converted into cash, which simply won't meet his funding needs for cultivation.
Oulina Jewelry provides a full range of services, including the procurement, processing, wholesale, and sales of raw amber.
They specialize in high-end and mid-range amber products and have branches in major first-tier cities across the country.
According to information posted online, they are buying up large quantities of high-end finished amber pieces and raw stones.
The reason for the large-scale purchases is that the import of raw amber from the Baltic Sea and Myanmar has been affected by some international factors recently, resulting in a significant reduction in supply.
in addition,
The production of high-end amber is becoming increasingly scarce, leading to a continuous rise in the price of high-end amber on the market, resulting in a situation where it is difficult to find.
Therefore,
Only then would Oulina Jewelry Store specifically call GG to purchase finished amber products and raw stones.
They rarely recycle raw amber.
However, in previous years, many people collected a large number of high-end amber rough stones. As the economic situation became increasingly severe, many people sold their collections of amber rough stones to make money.
This is also the main reason why major jewelry stores have recently been buying back raw amber.
Chen Jie carefully checked the relevant information about the Oulina Jewelry Store and learned that the general manager of the store was named Zhao Wentao.
Before departure
He had already contacted Zhao Wentao in advance and arranged a meeting time.
However, when he arrived at the entrance of the Olena Jewelry Store, he was stopped by the security guard at the door, who asked him if he had made an appointment in advance.
Chen Jie took out his phone and showed the security guard the appointment record, indicating that he had made an appointment with the general manager in advance.
But the security guard saw that Chen Jie was carrying an ordinary backpack and dressed very simply. He looked like an ordinary worker and did not believe that he could make an appointment to meet with General Manager Zhao Wentao.
As the saying goes,
People from the lower class love to make things difficult for other people from the lower class.
This security guard perfectly embodies the phrase "looking down on people like dogs".
He used the meager power he held to its fullest extent.
He made Chen Jie fill out forms, register his personal information, and leave his ID card as collateral.
They even deliberately made things difficult for Chen Jie, forcing him to call Zhao Wentao on the spot to confirm.
In short, it boils down to three words—no entry!
If Chen Jie arrived at the Ouliana Jewelry Store dressed smartly, wearing an expensive watch, and driving a luxury car...
This security guard will definitely be a completely different person.
He could portray sycophancy and obsequiousness to the fullest extent.
Chen Jie was dressed in ordinary clothes and carried a backpack, looking like a job seeker from the north.
The security guard naturally acted arrogantly and overbearingly.
"What do you mean? You want me to leave my ID card as collateral?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie was slightly taken aback, and a sense of displeasure immediately arose in his heart.
Damn it!
What is Oulina Jewelry Store up to?
He received a warm welcome throughout his visit to Huayun International.
Even on my first visit, when I met Cai Ping, the business manager of Huayun International, she was very polite and welcoming.
However, when he arrived at the Olena Jewelry Store, he received a completely different treatment.
I was harassed in every way by a security guard!
This feeling left Chen Jie completely speechless.
If he didn't have important business to attend to, he really wanted to slap the other man across the face and make this arrogant security guard kneel on the ground and call him "daddy."
Beep beep—!
Chen Jie didn't argue with the security guard. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed Zhao Wentao's number directly.
What frustrated him even more was that no one answered the phone.
Are you kidding me?
Chen Jie frowned slightly, glanced up at the door of the Olena Jewelry Store, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
"Forget it, let's try another one!"
He shook his head, hung up the phone, and turned to walk out.
From the moment he was harassed by the security guard at the entrance, Chen Jie had no good feelings towards Ouliana Jewelry Store.
He had clearly contacted Zhao Wentao before setting off.
But when they actually arrived at the other company's door, the guy wouldn't answer the phone.
The key issue is that the security guard at the entrance made things difficult for him in every way, even demanding that he leave his ID card as collateral!
I'm betting your mother's ID card!
