Chapter 546: Chapter 545: Is It That Magical?!

Six million! And no bargaining!

At that moment, everyone in the room looked at him as if he were a fool, their faces etched with disbelief!

Has this young man gone crazy? Such a large company only quoted 5.1 million, and even that price was too high for Mr. Wei. And now you dare to quote six million?! Who gave you such confidence?!

"Ha ha ha ha ha! This is too amusing!" Chen Xiao was stunned at first, then suddenly burst into laughter, slapping his thigh and saying, "Mr. Jiang, the person you’ve brought with you, has he lost his mind? Ha ha ha ha! With your company’s small scale, you hardly have any competitive strength in our industry, yet you dare to make such an assertion, ha ha ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha ha, Mr. Jiang, did you bring him here specifically to make us happy?!" Zhenjiang Company’s salesman Zhang Jiang also burst out laughing, saying while laughing, "I know you want to win this business deal, but clearly the brother you’ve brought here is a joke, ha ha ha ha! Hey, what did I hear his title was just now? An advanced consultant? Isn’t he just in his early twenties?"

At that point, everyone in the conference room started laughing.

To everyone present, Wang Hao seemed to be dreaming an impossible dream.

Speaking of it, indeed, the top three or five major ocean freight groups had only quoted around five million. So, what a joke that your small company is quoting six million?

Even Jiang Huanyu started to feel unsettled.

She listened to the mockery from everyone in the room and wanted to ask Wang Hao what was going on, but recalling what Wang Hao had instructed her before, she decisively kept quiet.

She had just slightly doubted the situation earlier and her car got smashed. Now, how could she dare speak again?

Villains die of too much talk; this truly is a timeless adage!

"Mr. Jiang," Mr. Wei said with amusement, looking at Jiang Huanyu, "With things as they are, don’t you want to say something?"

"Ah?" Jiang Huanyu hesitated upon hearing this. She really wanted to say it was just Master Wang making a joke, but the words stopped on her lips, "I have nothing to say. His words fully represent my views; whatever he says goes."

Hearing Jiang Huanyu so affirmatively back him up, Wang Hao instantly gave her a thumbs up.

Good girl, just for these words, from now on, the market value of your company will be under my protection!

"Ah, what a pity," Mr. Wei said upon hearing Jiang Huanyu’s words, shaking his head helplessly. He had given an opportunity, but since you insist, then you can only be completely out of the running. That’s not my fault.

"Little Du," Mr. Wei looked around the room and finally turned to the young man sitting beside him, "You are our company’s top consultant. Go ahead and share the conclusion you’ve just reached."

"Alright, Mr. Wei." The top consultant, Little Du, flipped his computer around and began to analyze for Mr. Wei—

"First of all, let’s talk about Mr. Jiang’s Zhonghai Xingyun Foreign Trade Company," Little Du said without even glancing at the laptop, "Overall... Uh, Mr. Wei, because this company is really small in scale, I did not look up their detailed information earlier. But considering their high price today, I think they are not worth considering anymore, so they are the first to be disqualified."

Ha ha ha ha, as expected, the first to be disqualified!

Chen Xiao of Xuri Group winked at Zhang Jiang from Zhenjiang Company, "I told you, he’s definitely here as a joke, ha ha ha!"

Zhang Jiang nodded, "Yes, indeed. It’s not a big deal to have a bad brain, but to come out and show it off like this, that’s where he’s wrong."

With such a self-kicking start, Jiang Huanyu’s face instantly turned sour, and she was almost ready to leave when Wang Hao pulled her back.

"Don’t rush off; just watch for now," Wang Hao winked at Jiang Huanyu, "Who knows, there might be a good show later?"

Watch first? Alright!

Jiang Huanyu sat down fuming and kept muttering in her heart, "Bad luck! Bad luck! Bad luck bad luck bad luck bad luck..."

Wang Hao looked at Jiang Huanyu, "..."

Jiangjiang’s company is indeed having a rough time, not even qualifying to warrant a background check...

At that point, Little Du began to analyze the other four companies in detail—

"Let’s start with Xuri Group," Little Du said, "Xuri Group mainly excels in international business, but their domestic operations are slightly weaker, with a bit slower delivery speeds. Of course, despite some minor issues, as a company ranked in the top three of the industry, they can definitely ensure safety in customs clearance and security. As for the slower domestic transportation, this issue isn’t a major one."

Chen Xiao felt quite proud as Little Du praised his company.

He he, after all, our company is a giant in the industry, its competitiveness is top-notch!

"Hmm, this is true, our company mainly needs to ensure safety," Mr. Wei stroked his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Then, let’s sign with..."

But unexpectedly, just as he was about to finish his sentence, he saw someone, drenched in sweat, running into the room and shouting as soon as he entered, "Manager Chen, something terrible has happened! Our boss sent me here to tell you no matter what, don’t sign the contract!"

"Ah?!" Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao, who had just been very smug, suddenly froze!

He had waited so long for this moment, and Wei was just about to sign the contract. How could it suddenly become impossible to sign?

"What on earth is going on?!" Chen Xiao stood up abruptly and demanded, "Why can’t we sign the contract?!"

"It’s, it’s..." The person hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Just now, for some reason, the cargo ship running to Indonesia encountered a huge wave on its way back and capsized..."

The... the cargo ship... capsized?

And just now?!

"God!" Chen Xiao was so frightened that he plopped back down into his chair, utterly baffled.

He knew all too well what a capsized cargo ship meant. Just the salvage and repair of the ship would take months, and their company had only that one ship running to Indonesia!

Wei was stunned too. What was happening? A ship capsizes on its return voyage?

"Ah, Chen, my friend," seeing that Chen Xiao could no longer sign the contract, Zhang Jiang immediately got excited: "Thanks for giving way, thanks a lot!"

Now that Xuri Group was out of the picture, only three companies remained.

"Let’s talk about Zhenjiang Company then," Little Du looked at his laptop and said: "Zhenjiang Company’s strength is in domestic shipping. They’re quite fast domestically, with excellent control over timeliness. Moreover, they maintain a clear route for both progress and operation. Each link has a dedicated department in control, from pick-up to distribution at the destination, with no confusion at any stage. Though Zhenjiang Group may have minor issues with ocean shipping, the impacts are negligible and acceptable."

"Well, let’s sign with Zhenjiang Company first," Wei nodded and then turned to Zhang Jiang, saying, "I still have a lot of confidence in your company’s capabilities."

"Thank you, President Wei. Shall we sign the contract now?" With a smug look, Zhang Jiang took out a pen, ready to sign, when his phone rang—

"Mr. Liu, everything here is settled and we’re about to— What?!" Zhang Jiang started off quite pleased with himself, but his expression drastically changed in an instant: "You just said, our ship running to Indonesia has been detained?!"

Everyone in the conference room was shocked!

What’s happening?! Just after Xuri Group’s shipwreck, now a cargo ship gets detained...

Wei broke into a sweat and quickly gathered up the contract documents: "Little Du, take a look at Ningbo Marine Transport now."

"Right," Little Du muttered as well, "Things are really haunted today..."

Of course, haunted or not, there’s still work to be done.

Little Du looked at his laptop and began to speak: "Ningbo Marine Transport is a long-established shipping company. It’s not just a shipping company, but integrates logistics, supply chain, financial services, information services, and e-commerce services. It has six major transshipment centers in the country, and its range and delivery capabilities are slightly superior to the previous two companies. Their control over failures is also very strong. The only downside is a slightly weaker capability in customs clearance and passing through customs."

"That’s not too bad," with two options eliminated and only two left, there wasn’t much choice anymore, Wei quickly agreed: "Then let’s go with Ningbo Marine Transport..."

But before he could finish his sentence, Ningbo Marine Transport’s representative’s phone also rang, and he suddenly stood up: "What?! The warehouse is on fire?!"

It looked like their company was in trouble now...

Now only Jiangliu Ocean was left, and as Little Du anxiously stared at the computer screen, he couldn’t help muttering to himself: "Things are really haunted today! What on earth is going on?!"

The others also looked at each other in amazement. Could this all be a dream today? This coincidental?

Of course, surprised as they were, there was still business to attend to.

"Jiangliu Ocean’s overall pricing is still very good," Little Du explained, looking at the information on his computer: "Their operational capabilities in various fields are not much different from Ningbo Marine’s, no big disparity. President Wei, I suggest we choose this company. Their prices are reasonable and quite solid."

"Alright, alright, everything’s fine," with only one vendor left, of course, anything would pass. Just now there was competition, but now they were the sole contender!

Wei hurriedly took out pen and paper: "Let’s go ahead and..."

Then the last salesperson, before even managing to stand up, watched as someone rushed through the door and grabbed him, dragging him away: "Hurry, we have to go, something big has happened at our company!"

What now?! Another incident?!

The salesperson was clearly still not processing the situation: "What exactly happened?!"

"There’s a problem with the ship; it’s stopped out at sea and can’t make it back!" the man said anxiously: "You haven’t signed the contract yet, right? Thank heaven, otherwise we would have to pay a penalty..."

In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared from sight.

And there was Wei, left holding the contract in mid-air, unable to put it down for a long time!
