Perhaps the other party had also seen news about xylene somewhere.
However, the next second, Ye Yun uttered a number that made Zhao Yuanyang's scalp tingle.
"Mr. Zhao, this is just a hunch. How about we strike a deal. Crude oil is currently priced at 3,000 yuan per ton. Help me procure one hundred thousand tons. At the market price, you can charge me a five percent commission."
Thump.
Zhao Yuanyang, who had been walking steadily, stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
Crude oil at three thousand yuan a ton, and you want one hundred thousand tons?
Throwing out three hundred million at once?
Are you kidding me?
"Ke Ke... Ke Ke's dad really knows how to joke," Zhao Yuanyang said awkwardly.
"I'm not kidding. I know what you're worried about, thinking that since Ke Ke attends Ruitai Kindergarten, a parent wouldn't have such purchasing power. This is the balance on my account, and this month's transaction records. Mr. Zhao, do you think I still have the purchasing power?"
Ye Yun smiled and waved his phone screen in front of Zhao Yuanyang.
Hiss~
Seeing the numbers clearly, Zhao Yuanyang gasped.
Four... over four hundred million!
You must know that although Yuanyang Group was wealthy and its accounts held far more than four hundred million, it was impossible for him, as an individual, to take out over four hundred million at once.
The money belonged to Yuanyang Group, Yuanyang Group belonged to him, but the money was not his.
For him to personally take out over four hundred million would incur a 45% personal income tax!
In other words, it would require the company to provide at least 900 million in assets.
When calculated this way, it was terrifying.
"Ke Ke's dad... no, Mr. Ye, are you joking with me?" Zhao Yuanyang's face twitched.
"Not joking. If Mr. Zhao feels it's acceptable, we can sign the contract immediately," Ye Yun said with a smile.
Ye Yun remembered clearly.
Within three days, there would be a major shift in the international crude oil market.
The price of crude oil would rise by sixty percent.
It would immediately jump from 3,000 yuan per ton to 5,000 yuan per ton.
It was upon seeing Zhao Yuanyang that Ye Yun recalled this.
It wasn't that he wanted to let the other party profit from this.
On one hand, it would increase the other party's trust in him.
On the other hand, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Why?
Don't forget, he lacked sales and purchasing channels.
Now, giving a common person several hundred million, could they possibly buy tens of thousands of tons of oil?
That's a joke!
And once he cooperated with Yuanyang Group, these would not be a problem at all.
He wouldn't even need to find buyers or purchase this batch of crude oil himself.
Because with the surge in crude oil prices, Yuanyang Group would be very willing to buy it from him.
"Mr. Ye, one hundred thousand tons of crude oil, that's a total of 300 million yuan. Are you sure?"
Zhao Yuanyang still couldn't believe it.
He had met Ye Yun for less than three minutes, and the other party was discussing a business of hundreds of millions with him?
You must know that as a large company like Yuanyang Group, with all necessary qualifications, they naturally engaged in services like proxy procurement.
And a five percent agency fee was the industry standard.
Five percent of three hundred million was fifteen million.
In other words, as soon as he agreed, the other party would immediately give him fifteen million!
Who in the world would be so foolish! dafengnovel.com
"Sure!" Ye Yun said with a smile.
Hoo~
Zhao Yuanyang took a deep breath and asked Ye Yun.
"Mr. Ye, I can sign a contract with you. As a businessman, who wouldn't want to make money that's already in hand? But I don't understand why you want to buy crude oil. The international crude oil market is relatively stable now; in fact, there was a slight dip a couple of days ago due to some fluctuations."
His gaze had become serious, no longer as relaxed as before.
Anyone who could have over four hundred million in their card couldn't be an ordinary person.
Although he himself was not someone who judged people solely by their wealth.
In this society, often, the amount of money one possessed could indicate something.
Ye Yun shook his head and explained, "International market changes are unpredictable. Based on the current market, crude oil prices are indeed not going to surge. But the appreciation potential of a commodity is fundamentally determined by the supply and demand relationship. The whole world is advocating for energy conservation and emission reduction, and all countries are increasingly reducing oil production."
"Although not yet implemented, it is indeed on the agenda."
"And since Malaysia held an underwater conference ten years ago, the concept of carbon credits has been gaining traction. Based on my judgment, the United Nations will soon issue announcements to reduce the production of strategic materials like oil and coal. However, this news has not yet been released. Acquiring crude oil now is like picking up a bargain."
Zhao Yuanyang's head buzzed.
Although he looked skeptical, he did not refute Ye Yun.
He just stood there, seemingly contemplating seriously.
Ye Yun continued, "Actually, buying crude oil now is already lagging behind. If I had sufficient resources, I would be acquiring many bankrupt factories right now, selling off their assets to recover funds, and most importantly, securing their carbon emission quotas. Once the concept of carbon credits is widely adopted, these carbon emission quotas can be sold to manufacturers who need them. Becoming a landlord of carbon credits."
Zhao Yuanyang looked at Ye Yun and asked curiously.
"Ke Ke's dad, I don't know what you do."
"I used to just drift along, but now I plan to start my own business," Ye Yun replied honestly.
"Starting a business? That's right! With your insight, you should be starting your own business. I've never heard Ke Ke's mom mention that her husband is so outstanding," Zhao Yuanyang exclaimed.
This was not the first time he had attended a parent-teacher meeting for Zhao Kai, and he had met Li Mengyao many times before.
"Mr. Zhao, you flatter me. I just read the news a lot," Ye Yun said.
"Then... shall I have the company draft the contract and have you sign it later?" Zhao Yuanyang asked.
"No problem. As for the deposit, just name a figure," Ye Yun said.
"Mr. Ye, we've hit it off, so let's go with the minimum ten percent, how about it?" Zhao Yuanyang patted his chest.
Although he still couldn't fully comprehend Ye Yun's move, he could make a commitment regarding the deposit.
Firstly, Ye Yun had demonstrated his purchasing power.
Secondly, Ye Yun's demeanor made Zhao Yuanyang subtly feel that this person was likely not ordinary. Reducing the deposit could be considered establishing good relations between them.
"Alright, then it's settled. This matter is quite urgent, so it would be best if we could sign the contract by noon," Ye Yun extended his hand.
"No problem! Mr. Ye, happy cooperation!" Zhao Yuanyang also extended his hand and shook Ye Yun's again.
"Happy cooperation!"
...
With the matter settled, the two continued to walk together.
The two children were happily chatting ahead.
Zhao Yuanyang seemed very interested in carbon credits and crude oil, and he asked Ye Yun many more questions.
Ye Yun answered these questions fluently.
In reality, it was like a modern person discussing housing prices with someone from decades ago.
Any ordinary person would be infinitely better than the experts of that era.
Not to mention that Ye Yun himself was a formidable entrepreneur.
It was a complete dimensional strike.
