"Mr. Zhang, you should be well aware that the prices of our new soil minerals exported to Europe and America 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 Menglong 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 Menglong 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 mention 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 predicament of power shortage. But the price Zhang Menglong proposed was simply outrageous. At $80 per ton, Zhang Menglong indeed would lose three to four hundred billion US Dollars, but are coal and new soil minerals commodities of the same 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 Menglong'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 Menglong 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 Menglong, 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 time, but you didn't agree. I had also warned you that if you came to me to buy again, it wouldn't be at that price!" Zhang Menglong 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?" Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire "Zhang Menglong, 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 Menglong laughed, "You can completely decide not to buy." "Or you could take some 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 come 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 Menglong, 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 Menglong opened the stopwatch on his phone. Jintianjing Long's face twitched as if paralyzed; he of course knew why Zhang Menglong was being so uncompromising this time. If it weren't for their last attempt to assassinate Zhang Menglong, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. He hadn't anticipated that Zhang Menglong'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 mentioned!" "Haha!" Zhang Menglong finally showed a satisfied smile. "Tomorrow, I will arrange for someone 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 immediately turned and left. He had just taken a few steps when he heard Zhang Menglong'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...
