Chapter 4: Deal Sold!
The number of so-called "samples" in Chen Jie's backpack was not small.
The total weight is over forty kilograms.
Inside the general manager's office of Huayun International, a tall, pretty, and capable woman was sitting in a large executive chair.
When she saw Cai Ping leading Chen Jie in, she immediately stood up and warmly greeted them.
"No way? This is the boss of Huayun International?"
Chen Jie was suddenly startled.
This woman looks to be about my age, yet she's in charge of such a large company?
Soon, his gaze swept over the photos and promotional posters of Huayun International's founder hanging on the office wall, and he suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out it's a rich second-generation heir taking over!
It seems that the true founders have long since stepped down and let the younger generation take the lead.
Several appraisal experts were also sitting in the office.
Without any further pleasantries, Chen Jie took out all the raw amber stones from his backpack and placed them one by one on the ground.
He had already polished the amber rough stone in advance and had full confidence in its quality.
Amber rough stones are completely different from jade rough stones.
Compared to jadeite rough, amber rough is much simpler, and for experts it is almost risk-free; there is no such thing as gambling on rough stones.
It is very difficult to judge the quality of jadeite rough based on its surface skin alone. There is an old saying that "even immortals cannot judge jadeite", making it extremely risky.
The interior of raw amber is transparent.
A single shine of a powerful flashlight will reveal everything clearly, leaving no suspense about winning or losing the bet.
Generally speaking,
Identifying raw amber involves judging its quality and predicting what kind of object it can be made into after peeling, polishing, and shaping.
therefore,
The price difference between raw amber and finished products is essentially the difference between processing fees and packaging and advertising fees.
After carefully examining all the amber rough stones with powerful flashlights, magnifying glasses, and other tools, the experts couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Top-grade clear blue amber, as well as complete insect amber and plant amber—all are of the highest quality! They are extremely rare to find on the market!"
"I've been appraising so many top-quality amber pieces for decades, and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it!"
"Young man, how did you acquire this amber? Are all the necessary paperwork complete? What price are you planning to sell it for?"
The experts asked, their faces filled with astonishment.
Chen Jie was prepared and answered calmly:
"All the paperwork is complete. As for the price, just go with the current market price."
"Huayun International has always had an excellent reputation. As long as the price is right, I can include you as one of our core distributors."
The beautiful general manager is named Lei Yuan, and as Chen Jie guessed, she is indeed a second-generation rich heir.
Huayun International was founded by her father.
She had just graduated from university when her father suddenly fell ill.
As an only child, she could only take over the management of Huayun International.
However, she did not disappoint her father. In the year since she took over the business, she not only did not squander the family fortune, but also made Huayun International's business bigger and stronger.
Lei Yuan spoke quietly with several appraisal experts for a moment, then looked up at Chen Jie and said bluntly:
"Boss Chen, name a reasonable price. If it's right, we'll buy the whole batch!"
Chen Jie nodded, and said confidently:
"I've been to Songgang and learned about the market in detail. Currently, the price of insect amber of decent quality is around 350 yuan per gram."
"But the quality of my goods far exceeds the average level, so 500 yuan per gram is by no means excessive."
"In addition, there are seven top-grade clear sky blue amber rough stones here, each weighing more than 100 grams, in perfect condition and without any cracks."
"The market price is about 6000 yuan per gram, but my goods are of higher quality and larger in volume. Even if you charge 8000 yuan per gram, you'll still make a profit!"
"And plant-derived amber..."
Chen Jie had already done his homework on the price of this batch of goods.
More importantly,
This is just the current market price!
With the global economic trend, the price of high-end amber jewelry continues to rise, with an annual increase of up to 15%.
At last,
He pointed to the amber rough on the ground and said seriously:
"I've roughly calculated that the total price of this batch of goods is 3568 million yuan."
Upon hearing this, Lei Yuan and several experts fell silent.
During the appraisal just now, each piece of raw stone was weighed on an electronic scale, and everyone already had a general idea of its weight and approximate price.
Cai Ping, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned, and her breathing became rapid.
She had previously suspected Chen Jie, feeling that he was wearing a cheap T-shirt and didn't seem like a big business owner at all.
But who would have thought that the goods in the other party's backpack were worth more than 35 million?
For a while,
Her gaze toward Chen Jie held a strange flicker.
These days, beautiful women's love of money has become a social trend.
Moreover, Chen Jie is tall, strong, young, and handsome.
Lei Yuan pondered for a moment, shook her head, and said with a smile:
"The price is too high, over 35 million, which exceeds our budget."
"Old Wang, re-evaluate the price."
Old Wang, the head of the expert group responsible for the appraisal, immediately understood what the boss meant.
This is an attempt to drive down the price!
In business, doing business is actually quite similar to self-cultivation; one must be decisive, ruthless, and know how to pretend to be losing money.
Old Wang nodded and said to Chen Jie:
"Your goods are indeed high-end, that's undeniable, but given the current market conditions, your price is indeed too high, and you should lower it by at least 20%."
Another expert nearby echoed:
"Hey kid, after we get the goods, we still need to do some further processing before we can put them on the shelves for sale, so the cost isn't low."
Chen Jie smiled calmly, his tone firm:
"I came to Huayun International because I value your reputation and scale, not to haggle."
"You all know the market situation in Songgang better than anyone else, and my price is already very conservative."
"I remember telling Manager Cai earlier that I have a large order volume, and these are just samples."
"If you become my distributors, I can guarantee that I can provide you with a sufficient supply of top-quality raw amber every month."
"Amber is a non-renewable resource, and the production of top-quality Baltic amber is decreasing."
"For this kind of top-grade Sky Blue water purifier, with such a large volume, I have monopolized the supply. You can't get it anywhere else except from me."
"That's settled then. If you still want to lower the price further, then I have nothing more to discuss. Please pack these things up for me, thank you."
After saying that, Chen Jie unzipped his backpack and was about to put all the amber stones back in.
The price must be firmly held!
The reason is simple: he has far more goods than that.
Once prices loosen, the other party will only continue to lower prices, putting you in a passive position.
Lei Yuan and several experts discussed the matter in hushed tones for a moment.
She quickly looked up, extended her hand to Chen Jie, and said crisply:
"No problem, we've reached an agreement, deal!"
"We very much hope to become your partner. I'll have the finance department process the settlement right now."
have to say,
Lei Yuan is extremely decisive; once the price is agreed upon, she doesn't hesitate at all.
The reason she agreed so readily was largely due to something Cai Ping had said earlier.
Large quantities are calculated in tons.
If Huayun International can secure such a stable supplier of high-end amber rough stones, it will be just around the corner for them to monopolize the entire high-end amber market in China.
To know,
This type of top-quality amber is currently almost impossible to find on the market, even if it is priced.
Top-grade clear sky blue amber and complete plant-derived amber are especially rare and highly sought after.
The transaction proceeded very smoothly from there.
When Chen Jie saw the bank notification that the money had been deposited into the Hong Kong Island Trading Company's account, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
this moment,
He developed a great deal of goodwill towards Lei Yuan's decisive and efficient work style.
