Lin Jing asked tentatively.
He wasn't sure how much white sugar Gu Yunyang could get his hands on.
After all, this thing isn't just used as a strategic resource domestically; countries all over the world do it this way.
The same applies to countries across the ocean.
Gu Yunyang raised an eyebrow. He thought Lin Jing was going to ask for an exorbitant amount, but this was all?
Of course, five tons is actually quite a lot.
But for a country, five tons is nothing.
Lin Jing thought Gu Yunyang was having some difficulty, so he tentatively said, "Three tons is also possible. If you think it's too difficult."
Of course, ordinary people usually buy white sugar in kilograms.
It's even possible that two units represent the units of ordinary people.
But for a country, it's very rare.
Gu Yunyang nodded: "Five tons at a time is no problem. I'll have someone bring that much white sugar next time. Once our own sugarcane plantation is ready next year, we can increase that number."
Hearing that Gu Yunyang was willing to open a sugarcane plantation himself in order to buy their white sugar, they were very pleased.
Lin Jing's facial expression was also quite intriguing.
But in his heart, Lin Jing was absolutely impressed and willing to accept Gu Yunyang and his group.
These people just want to do business; it's not a big deal.
Of course, whether or not to allow private individuals to do business is something that the higher authorities need to consider.
Lin Jing himself did not comment.
Now that the amount had been agreed upon, Gu Yunyang asked, "Are there any other requirements? If not, I'll be leaving now."
They've been in the public eye long enough today.
He doesn't plan to show up for too long each time, lest someone notice something amiss.
Lin Jing thought for a moment and shook his head: "If you have any other requests, I will bring them up next time."
In fact, he did have other requirements.
Strategic materials are not just white sugar.
This time, it was actually a test.
Food can only be said to be the most basic condition for fools, a necessary condition, but not all of the conditions.
There's nothing we can say about the milk trade.
The trade in white sugar had already begun to touch upon certain circles.
After Gu Yunyang left, Lin Jing went to the other end of the phone and started making a call.
Once the call connected, the first question was: "Did they agree? What's the acceptable quantity?"
Lin Jing said, "They agreed, very readily. I tentatively asked if five tons was too much, and suggested reducing it appropriately. They directly agreed to five tons each time."
"every time?"
"Yes."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then someone said, "It seems their connections are truly extensive."
Moreover, these people wield considerable influence abroad.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to provide strategic materials so readily.
The quantity is quite large each time.
Their trading frequency is also relatively high, usually around twice a week.
So that's eight times a month.
That's forty tons, which is quite a lot.
Regardless of its intended use, forty tons is not a small amount.
"Ask about the other things on the list next time."
"Boss, but we don't have enough resources and money," Lin Jing asked with some concern.
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a firm tone was conveyed: "Even if we have to tighten our belts and cut back on our own spending, we will still buy it."
We can't let others hold us hostage. Right now, we have too few channels to purchase supplies, and we're being held hostage by others.
They didn't know what to say.
