Since the collective collapse of Shengfeng's top management, Xihuang Industrial's attitude towards Huang Xuan suddenly became ambiguous. Not only did Zhang Rong respond to Huang Xuan's requests, but even Yu Tingli, who was originally from Huang's foundation, also became respectful.

Indeed, in Brazil, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, an independent subsidiary is basically the same as an independent company, but if a prince comes, different styles will lead to different results.

But this time, when he learned that Huang Xuan was going to use Santos Port to receive crude oil, Zhang Rong almost put down all his work in order to let the oil tanker enter the port half a day in advance. During busy trade periods, not all ships can dock or load and unload when they arrive at the port. Materials, and the largest shareholder of Docas Company is not Xihuang Enterprise. In addition, the most troublesome thing is the terminal after arriving at the port. Huang Xuan hopes to be able to dock near the selected terminal, which will be more conducive to the use of crude oil.

Zhang Rong fulfilled Huang Xuan's request without any discount. By June 0, Lorraine successfully obtained 100,000 barrels of light crude oil. According to the average calorific value of the United States in 1990, it was equivalent to 5.8×1011th BTU. , using the units we are familiar with, it is approximately equivalent to 5.6×10 7th power kilowatt-hours of electricity, or 56 million kilowatt-hours of electricity. However, the utilization rate of Lorraine is more than 0% different from that of Americans. I believe it is enough. Been using it for a long time.

The arrival of crude oil at the port made Lorraine very happy. Although the Lord Keeper did not actually have significant mood swings, Huang Xuan could still detect this change between the lines of his words.

"Huang Xuan, 15 companies have already submitted applications to us to purchase timber. I have agreed with them to bid this afternoon. I think you should take care of it." Lorraine rarely used the word "we" before. , but now he speaks very smoothly. In addition, his ability to deal with problems seems to have improved. At least before, he would not make decisions on his own.

Huang Xuan's heart moved and asked: "Lolin, my authority has been increased?"

"Yes." Lorraine's answer was simple, but Huang Xuan said with a smile: "Then we have the same authority?"

"I have Level 1 authority, and you have Level 1 authority."

Huang Xuan curled his lips. He had forgotten that the base level had been upgraded, and Lorraine's authority had also been increased.

After casually chatting with Lorraine about the legal issues of the recent contract, the helicopter has already arrived at the open-air lumberyard in Cabres. The Guardian has invited more than 60 people from 15 companies, of which Brazilians are not among them. Most, after all, this is a developing country, and the consumption of high-priced oak is not high.

Modister, the president of Cabres, had been waiting on the tarmac very early. After the helicopter arrived, he raised his head and suppressed his hair, but did not run away. He squinted his eyes against the wind.

At home, Huang Xuan has seen a lot of respect from people, but as a young man, he still cares about people's attitude towards him. He shook hands with Modesto tightly and said with a smile: "President, you don't have to wait for me. You just need to send someone to guide me."

"Need it." Modeste has the passion, enthusiasm and confidence of a Brazilian. His hands are big and dry, like a man's hands. He smiled calmly and said: "This is the largest open-air storage space in Cabres. I think I should introduce it to the boss in person."

"Okay." Although Huang Xuan had already received information about this place from Lorraine, he was still happy to have someone explain it in person.

Modeste is a very talkative person, a person with a very American flavor, which is completely different from the relaxation of Europe and the tension of the United States. If I have to describe it, maybe it is Castro-style chic or Venezuelan. President Chavez-like character.

It was a pleasant conversation. Although Huang Xuan's Portuguese was not considered excellent, he still had a great time chatting with Modesto's accommodation. This smile accompanied him to the lounge outside the lumber yard. A smile is a good start to a negotiation.

The most people sitting here are Europeans and their agents. Germany is the largest wood producer in the world, and Europe is the largest furniture production region. In addition, there is also a Japanese company and two American companies participating in the bidding.

However, Huang Xuan's eyes did not stay on these confident managers. He immediately caught sight of Galadia, the fair-skinned, blond girl with seductive red lips sitting behind a certain businessman.

Today she wore a beige suit, without sunglasses or bodyguards. Her long eyelashes were fluttering in front of her eyes, and her blond hair was floating gently on her temples. Seeing Huang Xuan, Galadia expressed surprise in her classical way. Her gently opened red lips seemed to shine with light, and her hazel head was slightly raised, with a sense of disbelief and shallow joy.

For Galadia, this Asian young man left a deep impression on her. This was a bold guy. She could never imagine that someone would throw a mineral water bottle at a group of people at the airport. This kind of behavior, in layman's terms, was simply idiotic. However, it turns out that this is a young man who can recite poetry in Spanish. He even knows the source of Galadia, and when she was the same age, she was still crying because of reciting Latin.

The most unforgettable thing is that he translated a beautiful and intoxicating poem in Greek. The standard glyphs are full of heartfelt praise, which makes people's hearts beat faster while reading. Especially when his reading recorded on the CD was played, the light and pure Greek style of glyphs simply made people trance-like.

Galadia felt that this was the most heart-warming love letter she had ever received in her life, if only the other person's age could be closer to hers.

It was a pity that she never saw this energetic Asian in Professor Paulino's classroom again. Just when she couldn't help but want to look for this young man, he appeared in a place where he shouldn't have appeared.

Huang Xuan smiled at Galadia and sat on the chair that had been prepared long ago. At this time, representatives from each company knew that the young man in front of him, no matter how young, was the owner of this coveted wood. . Galadia's eyes widened even more charmingly.

Modesto rubbed his hands and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is my boss, the owner of the wood you want to buy, Mr. Huang Xuan, from China."

After gentle applause, Modesto continued: "Well, everyone has already seen the quality of this batch of wood. Please confirm your respective quotations and leave them to me."

A businessman from Belgium asked: "Does Mr. Xuan want to decide here?"

"I hope to sell this timber as soon as possible."

Lorraine forged detailed origin and logging information for this batch of timber. Most forests in the old German states (formerly the Federal Republic of Germany) are privately owned. Therefore, although the felling volume and export volume are recorded, the final ownership of a certain batch of timber is unknown. Records are always incomplete and inaccurate. In the electronic age, the occurrence of forged documents is inevitable, not to mention the great guardian to ensure the legality of this batch of wood.

Of course, no matter how powerful Lorraine is. Huang Xuan still wants to change it into banknotes as soon as possible. Lorraine has spent $100 million in the past week.

Huang Xuan's answer was in line with everyone's wishes. The mood at the scene suddenly became high, and many people could be seen starting to wink at each other. 60,000 cubic meters of wood is indeed not a lot, but because the type and quality vary, and each company's needs are different, there is still a lot of room for bidding.

All wood needs to be sold in detail. Generally speaking, after being classified according to tree species, during the sales process, it is usually divided into first, second, third and so on according to the material; according to the use, it can be divided into three types, original wood (cut wood) Wood that has been peeled, pruned, and tipped off after being poured, but has not yet been made into lumber according to certain dimensions), logs, and sawn lumber.

Of course, what Huang Xuan brought back was all original wood, among which the diameter at breast height, such as oak, was more than 100 centimeters. To this day, 70 centimeters is already considered a very good wood.

After transporting the wood back, Huang Xuan no longer paid attention to this. In his opinion, even if he sold this batch of wood at the best price in Europe, the profit would only be a few hundred dollars per cubic meter, and 60,000 cubic meters would only be tens of millions. , but when he got the quotations from everyone here, his eyes almost bulged.

The first thing Huang Xuan opened was the quotation from the old Greek man who came with Galadia. It was 40,000 cubic meters of oak, and the price was 6,000 US dollars per cubic meter for a diameter above 100cm. Even with today's net worth, Huang Xuan was still speechless. This But it’s a big order worth more than 100 million US dollars.

Clemenos over there gently crossed his legs, covered the tea cup with his right hand, and squinted his eyes slightly, but all his attention was focused on Huang Xuan, and he was relieved when he saw his surprised look. He sighed and slowly leaned back on the chair.

Last month, Germany's Palatinate Forest only produced 0,000 cubic meters of oak, with an average price of 650 euros, but the highest price for oak with a diameter at breast height of 70 centimeters or more reached 000 euros. Even so, his company Kanters only bought To 0% of them. When he learned that tens of thousands of cubic meters of oak were for sale, he immediately came to Sao Paulo.

There is nothing more important to chase than profit. (To be continued)
