Chapter 625 How did he know?
Tang Xin was not surprised at all when she heard Chen Yang's teasing words.
Minister Chen is a completely black-hearted businessman.
The organization had provided him with so much tungsten ore before, and he purchased it at 51 tons each.
If he sold it to the Germans, it would be 131 tons. He had to sell the arms he bought from the Germans back to the organization at a higher price.
I don't know how much I've been cheated by him.
"Minister Chen, let's be frank. You made a lot of money from cooperating with us in the mineral business before."
Tang Xin stirred the coffee in her hand and said, "We have provided you with 7,000 to 8,000 tons of tungsten ore and several thousand tons of tin ore, not to mention the rare ores that the Nationalist government regarded as treasures."
"Just from these, you have earned at least one or two million more from us."
"Now I'm just asking you to donate a few hundred tons of food. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Chen Yang sneered and said, "Ms. Tang, I understand now. Are you here to settle scores with me today?"
Tang Xin quickly shook her head and said, "Minister Chen, what are you talking about? I don't have the guts to settle accounts with you, Minister Chen."
Chen Yang said calmly: "Ms. Tang, don't forget that if I hadn't bought all the ores in your hands, you would still be planning to use those tungsten sand ores to refine tungsten wire."
"Yes, I made a lot of money from you, but I deserve it. In the whole of China, I am the only one who has the ability to make this money."
"If I hadn't helped you exchange all the ores piled up in your warehouse for munitions, would you have been able to obtain such a large amount of replenishment in such a short period of time?"
"Ms. Tang, when we do business, we must be willing and fair. You should have some bottom line when you are out there. You can't be like those idiots who eat with a bowl in hand and curse when they put it down..."
Tang Xin was unable to refute what Chen Yang said for a moment. Subconsciously, she knew that Chen Yang had made a fortune by exporting various minerals in exchange for arms.
However, putting this thing on the table is a matter of personal ability.
The mine will not run away, it is there, and the Germans are also there. What Chen Yang can do, they cannot do.
Moreover, if Chen Yang had not bought up all of their stocks and exchanged them for weapons to replenish their major bases, their lives would not have been so easy.
It's not like they haven't experienced the Japanese's cage policy before.
During difficult times, they couldn't even bring in a bag of rice, let alone thousands or tens of thousands of tons of various mineral resources.
After a long silence, Tang Xin smiled and said, "Minister Chen, let's not talk about the past."
"I am here to negotiate on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce this time. I hope you can raise the price for the sake of our nation's suffering."
"I hope that these ores in my hands can be exchanged for one million worth of arms and supplies."
Chen Yang took a sip of coffee and said, "Ms. Tang, this is not the way you talk about business."
"I've seen your financial statements. The value of your stuff alone is 700,000 dollars. From 700,000 to 1 million dollars, you asked for a profit difference of 300,000 dollars."
"I personally admire you guys very much, but... you should also know this."
"If it weren't for my transportation network, it would take you at least three to five months to cash in on the ore you have."
"And I can help you transport all the ore to Shanghai for loading on the ship in just three days."
“Speed is money.”
Tang Xin frowned slightly and said, "Minister Chen, I know what you said is true, but we also took a big risk."
"At least increase it by 20%. The base price for this batch of goods is 880,000 dollars. Don't you guys care about luck the most when doing business? 88 is a good omen."
"If you send it, I'll send it too."
Chen Yang calmly shook his head and said, "Ms. Tang, I believe in the religion of money. I personally don't care about these meanings."
"You should know that Xiaotongqiao has more than one client. Today you want to increase the price by 20%, and tomorrow he wants to increase the price by 20%."
"Once this is opened, how will we do business?"
"Besides, we always clearly mark our prices and never cheat anyone. You can also go and ask around to see if there is a store in the entire Shanghai market with a brand as strong as ours."
Tang Xin stared at Chen Yang intently and said, "Minister Chen, from what you said, it seems that there is nothing to discuss?"
Chen Yang smiled gently and said, "It's not that there is nothing to discuss. Miss Tang has been doing business with us for such a long time, so she can be considered an old customer."
"Although I do not recommend raising the purchase price, I still have something else to compensate Miss Tang."
Tang Xin was slightly startled and asked, "What does Minister Chen mean?"
Chen Yang took a sip of coffee and said, "Ms. Tang, have you heard of penicillin?"
Tang Xin was shocked, this is good stuff. Since the beginning of the year, a special medicine for treating inflammation has appeared on the market in the UK and Germany.
Although this medicine is ridiculously expensive, it can indeed save lives.
The organization tried several times to find channels to purchase this medicine, but there was almost no trace of this medicine in China.
The most recent batch of medicine was obtained by a person who returned from the UK and he spent almost all his wealth to get thirty doses.
Tang Xin suppressed her inner excitement and trembled as she said, "What does Minister Chen mean? Do you have a way to buy this medicine?"
"In the near future, a company called Sunshine Trading will appear in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and fully represent the sales of this drug." Chen Yang said calmly: "It is estimated that the market share is not small. Xiaotongqiao will also sell some, but the price will be relatively higher."
"Ms. Tang, I won't charge you more for your ore, but I can personally give you two hundred penicillins and one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition."
"I'm sure Miss Tang knows the value of these things. They will definitely be enough for you to complete your mission."
Tang Xin was instantly confused. She couldn't remember a single word of the negotiation speech she had prepared silently before.
Originally, she planned to persuade Chen Yang to add two more floors from a series of aspects, including the international situation, the European war situation, and the current economic environment of the Japanese.
After all, for the organization, a 20% profit is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of dollars, which can buy a lot of weapons and ammunition.
However, when she heard that she was going to be given 200 penicillins, she felt that everything she had prepared before had instantly become waste paper.
Two hundred doses of penicillin mean two hundred lives. No matter how important money is, can it be as important as these medicines?
This type of multiple-choice question can be answered almost without any brainpower.
Besides, in addition to the two hundred penicillins, there are also 100,000 bullets.
Chen Yang took a sip of coffee and said, "It seems that Miss Tang already has the answer. Thank you for your coffee today."
"I'll treat you to a drink some other day. By the way, ask them to prepare the ore as soon as possible. The Germans need it very much now."
"However, compared to ore, I guess you may need penicillin more."
"Farewell..."
Even after Chen Yang had been gone for a long time, Tang Xin still hadn't recovered from her shock.
Her hands were just mechanically holding the spoon, stirring the coffee in front of her.
It wasn't until the waiter reminded her that she suddenly came to her senses.
However, even so, she was still a little puzzled.
How did Chen Yang know that a trading company would appear in the Shanghai Stock Exchange in the future to represent foreign medicines?
Where did they get the drug authorization?
