Chapter 14: Fighting for Breath Without Steamed Buns (Part 1)
After all, the old lady is the head of the Lin family, and Zhou Fan didn't want to make it difficult for his father-in-law, so he honestly went out and moved a chair.
By the time he returned, the meeting had moved on to the second item.
"At present, there is a shortage of mahogany on the market, we must open up supply channels as soon as possible, who can purchase the most precious kinds of mahogany, who is the hero of the Lin family!" The old lady said.
The Lin family's industry basically revolves around wood products, and two-thirds of the profits come from the mid-to-high-end market, and the importance of mahogany is self-evident.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and without raw materials, everything is for nothing.
"Grandma, my dad knows a Tianzhu timber merchant, and it is not a problem to buy ten tons and eight tons of broad-leaved sandalwood." Wang Hao said seemingly casually, and glanced at Zhou Fan, showing off his intentions.
Broad-leaved sandalwood is one of the cheaper mahogany, tens of thousands of yuan a ton, which is not precious.
Even so, the old lady still had a little more smile on her face, and said three "good" words in succession.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you just say that Zhou Fan also had a way to get mahogany, why didn't he say anything now?" Zhu Yanxia was swaggering, and her nostrils were almost to the sky.
The son-in-law was praised by the old lady, and her mother-in-law was honored, and she thought that she overshadowed Zhao Yufeng.
Zhao Yufeng is not good at stubble, and sneered: "A few tons of broad-leaved sandalwood is nothing, Zhou Fan's family and Shao's family are old friends, and Haihuang (Hainan Huanghuali) can be bought!" ”
This statement shocked the four people, Haihuang is recognized as the king of mahogany, because of the scarcity of quantity, it is regarded as a treasure.
"Yufeng, what you said is true?" The old lady subconsciously stood up, her expression extremely serious.
"It's more real than real gold!" Zhao Yufeng gritted his teeth and nodded.
In fact, she didn't know the bottom in her heart, but the words had been released, and she couldn't deny it, it was tantamount to slapping herself in the face.
Now I can only pray that Zhou Fan is more reliable and doesn't steam steamed buns to fight for breath.
"What are you kidding, do you think Haihuang is a cabbage on the street, and you can buy it casually?" Zhu Yanxia didn't believe it at all.
Not only her, but most of the people present think that Zhao Yufeng is open-mouthed.
"Although Hainan huanghuali is scarce, the Shao family has a wide network and must have channels, some time ago, the Shaw Auction Company just auctioned a batch of mahogany, among which there are a few old Haihuang materials." Lin Guangcheng said unhurriedly.
The same is Hainan Huanghuali, there are also three, six, nine and so on, the best is the old wood obtained from the demolition of the old house.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, you look down on Zhou Fan too much, even if his grandfather knew Shao Lao, it was decades ago, and his grandfather has been dead for several years, and the friendship has long been weakened." Lin Zhicai unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water, which made Zhao Yufeng's heart even more worried.
In case the Shao family refuses to help and boasts about Haikou, won't they become the laughing stock of everyone.
"Zhou Fan, how is the matter of mahogany, why don't you call Mr. Shao again and ask." Zhao Yufeng was a little anxious, regretting that he shouldn't have said it to death.
"Mom, Mr. Shao replied this morning that the mahogany has just been transported to the territory of Jiangnan Province, mainly with big red sour branches, a small amount of sea yellow, and it will be handed over tomorrow, with the Shao family as a guarantee, and the timber merchant agrees to receive the goods first and pay later, so there is no need to worry about fraud."
Zhou Fan's words made Zhao Yufeng overjoyed, and his confidence immediately increased: "Did you hear it, Redwood will arrive tomorrow, and it is impossible to lie to us as Shao Wei!" ”
"That's that, that's." Several distant uncles have expressed their agreement, and the Shao family has a good reputation in Haicheng, but they have no credibility.
Lin Zhicai's brows furrowed into two pimples, and he looked at Zhou Fan suspiciously: "Mr. Shao really said that?" ”
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know tomorrow." Zhou Fan behaved lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Did the other party mention the price, if it's too expensive...... the old lady was delighted but couldn't help worrying that the Lin family's liquidity was limited and it was impossible to use it all for mahogany purchasing.
"The market price of all kinds of rosewood is there, and the low price may be problematic." Zhou Fan said in a deep voice.
The mahogany is his own, and the premise of helping the Lin family is not to let himself suffer too much.
"That's just as well." The old lady nodded thoughtfully.
Lin Xin'er's cheeks were slightly hot, and she glanced at Zhou Fan with disgust, is this sarcastic for me being deceived for being greedy?
If Zhou Fan knew her thoughts, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing, he just wanted to reduce his losses.
When the mahogany is auctioned, the price must be higher.
Zhao Yufeng's eyes rolled, and he tried to ask: "Mom, this time Zhou Fan has made a great contribution, can you see if you can offset the merits and no longer pursue the faults of Guangcheng and Xin'er?" ”
"Wait until I get the goods tomorrow, if it is indeed a good mahogany, I can not pursue it, but I will not take it as an example." The old lady was in a good mood at the moment, and she was better than usual to talk.
On the contrary, Lin Zhicai's family was not so happy, the father and son glanced at each other, and they both saw worry and unwillingness in each other's eyes.
You can't let the people in the big house be in the limelight, otherwise it will not be good in the long run.
"Grandma, Zhou Fan has a limited understanding of mahogany, and my grandson thinks it's more appropriate for me to hand over tomorrow." Lin Zihao said suddenly.
This clearly showed that she was here to pick peaches, and Lin Xin'er couldn't bear it: "Don't bother my cousin, I'll go with Zhou Fan." ”
"Xin'er, it's not that my cousin can't trust you, your eyesight needs to be strengthened, otherwise you wouldn't spend a high price to buy fake mahogany, or I'll go to the safest." Lin Zihao said it soundingly, and the reason was quite sufficient.
"Mom, I also think that Zihao is the most suitable to come forward, he has always done things safely." Zhu Yanxia echoed.
"Yes, I don't have to worry about Zihao's work." The old lady is the most doting on her eldest grandson, and she almost responds to her requests.
"Grandma, the Shao family agreed to help because of Zhou Fan's face, and the temporary replacement of the handover person may anger Mr. Shao......"
"Needless to say, Mr. Shao can't care about these details." The old lady directly interrupted Lin Xin'er, and said undoubtedly: "It's decided, Zihao is responsible for the handover work, Zhou Fan, you tell Zihao the contact information of the timber merchant." ”
Lin Xin'er was full of grievances, and wanted to argue a few words, but noticed that her father shook her head at her, so she had to swallow the words back into her stomach.
Zhou Fan didn't have the heart to listen to the content of the next meeting, thinking about how to continue the lie.
First of all, you have to create something out of nothing, and you have to conjure up a timber merchant, and there is no suitable candidate for the time being.
I really can't do it, so I can only find Lin Feng to play a friendship again.
Several important matters were discussed, and the family meeting soon came to an end.
Lin Zihao walked up to Zhou Fan and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, take half of your credit, give me the contact information." ”
"My phone is out of battery, the number is in it, I'll send it to you." Zhou Fan raised his eyelids and said lightly.
"Forgive me for not daring to play tricks." Lin Zihao walked out of the conference room proudly humming a little song.
