Although she is the "Daughter of Destiny," unfortunately, the world doesn't revolve around Su Ning.
During her absence from the country.
Her undertakings continued to develop and expand. Needless to say, the fertilizer factory was in short supply. Suppliers from all over the country wished they could camp at the factory gate, fearing that the goods they had painstakingly ordered would be snatched away by others.
As for imported fertilizers from foreign countries, well, what a piece of junk.
They were expensive and of mediocre quality.
They had long been defeated.
Then there was oil. After several rounds of intense interest - based games that could be made into a movie, and finally, after the list of those who could get a share was determined, all parties worked together.
Finally.
Oil could be supplied in large quantities!
...
The popularity of the matter even exceeded Su Ning's expectations.
Almost the day after she received the news.
She was still abroad.
She received a call from Madame Kung.
Originally, Madame Kung, being self - important and considering the somewhat competitive and delicate relationship of cooperation, wouldn't have been so unreserved.
It would have made her seem at a disadvantage.
However, the output and refined products of the oil were so unexpectedly good!
So good that even she couldn't sit still. That's why she made this extremely difficult trans - oceanic call that went through multiple transfers. Even so, the voice was quite distorted and accompanied by static:
"Before, there were people who were pessimistic, saying that even if an oil field was discovered, it didn't mean there was a high storage volume or that it was easy to extract. Now that the results are out, it's a big slap in their faces."
"Speaking of which, it's really thanks to the excellent equipment provided by Miss Su and the capable subordinates..."
Facing the flattery from this lady, Su Ning accepted it all, but her attitude remained lukewarm.
When someone shows excessive courtesy, they must have an ulterior motive.
Sure enough -
"Now everything is ready, and we're just waiting for the last crucial thing. I heard that there's already a lot of gasoline and kerosene stocked in the warehouse in just these two days. Don't worry about the sales channels. I'll take care of everything. As long as you, Miss Su, give the nod, the goods can be transported away immediately."
Madame Kung probed.
Previously, the reason why she was so enthusiastic about the oil business was not only because of the huge profits but also because she could gain more benefits than others.
There was a kinship by marriage.
By controlling the oil, she could easily sell the products and make money.
She could also gain an extra favor.
The best part was that no one outside would say much... There was so little gasoline and diesel. Who would dare to say anything about her? If they had the ability, they could go and get a batch themselves!
There came a soft chuckle from the other end of the phone.
For some reason, Madame Kung had a bad feeling.
"How much output can there be in just a few days? There's no need to be in such a hurry. Let's talk about it when I get back."
Su Ning wasn't that stupid.
Handing over all the oil to Madame Kung would be convenient, but it would bring endless troubles.
If the oil was monopolized by this "big customer," it meant being completely controlled by her.
For example, what if the customer suddenly demanded a price cut, otherwise, they wouldn't take the goods? Don't even mention the contract. The other party could be a scoundrel and still have the ability to do so.
You'd be completely helpless.
Moreover, there was Madame Kung in the middle.
Su Ning was afraid that something like the dove occupying the magpie's nest might happen!
"How can there be no need to be in a hurry? The business world is like a battlefield. Missing the opportunity is a big deal. It doesn't matter if the quantity is small. First, settle the sales channels. Produce a batch and transport a batch. Many people would dream of such a thing. Besides, it's also beneficial to you. Everyone knows that oil is a good thing. There are so many unscrupulous people eyeing it. It's a good thing to make them give up earlier. And didn't we agree on this?"
Madame Kung got anxious.
By the end, there was even a hint of threat in her tone.
Su Ning wasn't afraid at all.
The more anxious she was, the more it showed the importance of the oil, and Su Ning became more confident. As for the so - called agreement?
There was no written contract.
If she didn't admit it, what could you do?
It was a joke. She was the host of the Greedy for Wealth System. Concepts like keeping one's word and doing business with integrity could never be associated with her!
"The situation can't be generalized. Other merchants would dream of this because their goods are not good. Oil is different. Is there anyone else selling oil in the country besides me? This is an exclusive business."
"Even if it can't be sold in the country, we can sell it abroad. Anyway, I have a shipping company. They're all my own people, and they'll definitely offer a cost - price. Madame, don't worry about not being able to sell it and incurring losses."
Madame Kung: ...
Who would worry about not being able to sell it and incurring losses!
Su Ning added, "By the way, I have a strong sense of risk. I don't accept credit. It's best to pay cash on delivery."
"What do you think, Madame?"
Madame Kung fell silent.
As is well - known, doing business with the government is difficult. Delaying payment or even not paying at all is common. With her around, it's unlikely that they'll take the goods for free, but it's normal to delay payment for a year or so.
Anyway, she won't lose her money.
Finally, it was decided that they would discuss these matters slowly after Su Ning returned to the country.
Before hanging up the phone.
Madame Kung, who didn't achieve her goal, might still be a bit angry and said:
"China is so big. Since it's proven that there's an oil field in Yumen, it's very likely that there are oil fields in other places. I heard that they're starting to prepare for exploration in the Northeast. If they really find oil, it won't be good for Miss Su."
"Oh, it's okay."
Su Ning said casually, "The Northeast is remote. If they really produce oil, they'll need to transport it. Then I can make money from the transportation."
She would make money either way.
Then, if the monopoly was broken, who would be the one to suffer losses?
Snap.
The phone was hung up.
Su Ning didn't care. For these people, as long as there were interests involved, they could even smile at their sworn enemies. She was thinking that the news of the oil exploration in the Northeast had spread so widely that even Madame Kung knew about it, which showed that it was a big deal.
Neither in history nor in the original novel did such a thing happen at this time.
However, one thing remained unchanged.
There must be a Japanese hand behind this. It seemed that they were stimulated by her discovery of the oil field and became more confident. Maybe they would really find an oil field.
Thinking of this, Su Ning, who seemed about to become a historical sinner, didn't look anxious.
Of course, it wasn't that she didn't care.
Rather -
"Shouldn't that letter have arrived by now?"
Su Ning lazily rested her chin on her hand. Of course, just based on the evidence in the letter, the people in the Northeast might not fully believe it. But what if there were also a few ships of real weapons and supplies?
"Hey, I'm really a good person."
System: ...
"Look, I've gone through so much trouble for this. Not only do I not get any rewards for being greedy for wealth, but I also have to face the revenge of the Japanese. Isn't this being a good person?"
"Hehe."
The system sneered and exposed someone, "A real good person doesn't ask for rewards. Are you?"
She not only asked for rewards but also a lot of them.
Su Ning opened her eyes wide and argued, "I'm doing this to make them feel at ease and to maintain my persona." Then she said some more things, like the mining rights of the undiscovered oil fields were actually worthless and that this was also a win - win situation.
All she got was the system's disdainful laugh.
It even said sarcastically:
"Yes, you're the Daughter of Destiny protected by God. Maybe besides these 'worthless' mining rights, you can also earn some rewards by the way."
Su Ning: ...
