Leveling Up With My Pet
Chapter 108 Only Difference Is, I Sold It In Tons....

Tang Libing shook his head in disapproval,

"There's no way it could be more than a thousand yuan," he said firmly.

But soon after, he reacted to what Liu Yong had just said.

"What!" exclaimed Tang Libing, barely able to believe his ears. "More than a thousand pieces?"

Liu Yong nodded calmly,

"Yes, that's correct. There are 1250 pieces of these 10-kilogram gold bricks, making a total of 12.5 tons of gold that I am looking to sell."

Tang Libing stared at Liu Yong in disbelief, struggling to comprehend the sheer magnitude of what he had just heard.

More than a thousand yuan was an astronomical sum of money, equivalent to over ten tons of gold. It took a moment for him to collect himself and confirm what he had just heard.

"So, let me get this straight, Mr. Liu," he said, his voice excitedly shaking.

"You're saying that you have 1250 of these big gold bricks, each weighing 10 kilograms, making a total of 12.5 tons of gold that you want to sell?"

Liu Yong nodded again, "Yes, that's exactly right. And I'm looking for a buyer for all of it."

Tang Libing's face flushed with excitement. He knew that Qian Shengsheng Company's most significant obstacle was its inability to acquire gold, as few were willing to sell. But now, Liu Yong had just revealed that he possessed over ten tons of gold. It was almost too good to be true.

"I can hardly believe it," Tang Libing muttered. "Are you certain that it's 12.5 tons of gold?"

Liu Yong nodded once more, "Yes, I'm sure of it. The number is correct."

Tang Libing tried to calm himself down by taking a few deep breaths and taking another sip of water from his cup.

He didn't want to appear too eager in front of Liu Yong, which could hurt his negotiating position. He measuredly said,

"Mr. Liu, let's go to the VIP room. Also, I cannot make such a significant decision without consulting our Boss."

Liu Yong nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, that sounds reasonable. Please lead the way to the VIP room."

Tang Libing led Liu Yong to the VIP room, with Liu Yong carrying the 10kg gold brick in his hand. Once they reached the room, Tang Libing politely asked Liu Yong to take a seat, and then he hurriedly rushed to the president's office to discuss the matter with his Boss.

As Tang Libing rushed through the hallway, some people who saw him became curious about what was happening.

They couldn't help but wonder why the typically composed and steady manager was acting so flustered.

Tang Libing should have paid more attention to their curiosity. He was entirely focused on the task at hand. He thought that if anyone could buy over ten tons of gold, they would be just as excited, if not more.

CEO's office.

................

Qian Feihai, the CEO of a gold jewelry factory, was sitting in his office, looking disappointed after several unsuccessful phone calls to purchase gold.

He rarely smoked but decided to light a cigarette and think of countermeasures. He knew that 100 kilograms of gold would only last a few days, and ensuring his factory could keep working without delays was crucial.

Just as he was lost in thought, the office door burst open without any prior announcement. Qian Feihai was taken aback, wondering who could be so impolite as not to knock on the door first.

To his surprise, Tang Libing, the purchasing department manager under him, had come in. Qian Feihai was about to reprimand him for his lack of manners, but Tang Libing spoke up before he could.

Tang Libing seemed excited as he said, "Boss, good news! The problem we were facing has been solved."

Qian Feihai was intrigued and asked, "What's going on? Tell me, what good news?" Tang Libing, still very excited, exclaimed, "Boss, a friend of mine has a lot of gold ready to sell, and I will arrange for him to meet us in the VIP room."

Qian Feihai was delighted to hear the news, and Tang Libing's credit would be significant if the gold deal were to go through successfully.

Tang Libing had cleverly stated that Liu Yong was his friend, making him appear even more important. With a plan in place, Qian Feihai felt relieved and confident that his gold jewelry factory would continue to operate smoothly.

"Oh, one of your friends is going to sell gold, um, yes, how much does he have, dozens of kilograms, or hundreds of kilograms." Qian Feihai asked Tang Libing.

Tang Libing hurriedly said: "No, it's not just more than one hundred kilograms, but a total of 12 tons and 500 kilograms."

"What!" Qian Feihai was stunned. In his experience, over 100 kilograms of gold was already considered sky-high. It was rare for an individual to have more than that.

He looked at Tang Libing, wondering if he had heard correctly. Tang Libing repeated, "Boss, he has a total of 12 tons and 500 kilograms of gold ready to sell."

Qian Feihai couldn't believe it. He had been in the industry for many years and had never encountered someone with such vast gold to sell.

Even though he was accustomed to seeing significant transactions, this was on another level.

Qian Feihai was surprised but quickly regained his composure. "Really, great, where is that friend? I want to talk to him in person."

Tang Libing replied, "Boss, I will arrange him in the VIP room."

Qian Feihai patted his head lightly, dumbfounded for a while, and waved.

"Oh, yes, it's in the VIP room. Go, let's go there."

As they headed to the VIP room, Qian Feihai felt a sense of relief as he realized the opportunity that lay before him. With such a significant quantity of gold, he could make a considerable profit and bolster his reputation in the industry.

In the VIP room, Qian Feihai greeted Liu Yong warmly, and after shaking hands, he turned his attention to the gold brick on the table.

"Mr. Liu, this is the sample you brought," Qian Feihai said.

Liu Yong confirmed that it was a sample, and he had 1,250 gold bricks. He offered to sell them all to Qian Feihai at a price not less than 420 yuan per gram.

Qian Feihai knew it was a seller's market, so he didn't bargain. He made a rough calculation in his mind and concluded that the price was fair, reasonable, and low. Tang Libing, who had seen the gold brick, also confirmed that the purity was relatively high, close to the purity of three nines.

Qian Feihai suggested they look at the gold first, and Liu Yong agreed. They arranged for several small cars, including Qian Feihai, Tang Libing, several vice presidents, professionals in the gold appraisal, and the financial director of Qian Shengsheng's company, to visit the warehouse by the sea where the gold was kept.

After Liu Yong's car led the convoy, Qian Feihai arranged for a driver to help Liu Yong drive.

Meanwhile, Liu Yong made a phone call to his team, including Qiu Yang, Hu Shijun, the company's finance minister, and relevant personnel from the legal department, to prepare for the upcoming big deal.

The difference was that while others sold gold by grams, Liu Yong sold it by tons.

The situation was destined to be a significant event, and Qian Feihai felt the pressure on his shoulders become lighter with the prospect of sealing such a deal.
