After the two came out, seeing Zhang Long's excited expression, Hu Xinxin couldn't suppress her curiosity and quickly asked Zhang Long a question.
He said with great enthusiasm, "I don't know either. I just had a gut feeling that there's something good in here, the kind of thing that I'd regret for the rest of my life if I didn't take it back."
"But I don't know exactly what it is."
"Let's unveil this mystery once we get back to our own territory in Shanghai."
Time flies, and twelve days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Zhang Long's team and Chachai's team had discussed import and export trade prices more than ten times and finally reached a preliminary agreement.
Now we're just waiting for Zhang Long's fruit to arrive at the port. Once it passes inspection and is found to be safe, we can officially sign the contract.
Both sides have already decided on the types of fruits to be imported and exported, with durian being the main variety and other tropical fruits playing a supporting role.
The varieties of durian basically cover all the best-selling varieties in Thailand: Long Stem Gan Yao, Golden Pillow, Chan Ni, and Kradum, etc., accounting for 60% of the export share.
It seems the price of imported durians in the domestic market is likely to rise significantly in the future.
Zhang Long also bought the low-quality durians imported as animal feed for 15 baht per kilogram.
These durians would normally be buried or destroyed, but now Zhang Long is buying them as feed raw materials, which is a considerable source of income for him.
At around 3 a.m. that day, Zhang Long got up early and took a car with Chatchai to Laem Chabang Port in the Gulf of Bangkok in central Thailand, patiently waiting for the first batch of fruit to arrive.
At 3:49 a.m., a huge cargo ship slowly sailed into the port.
The first batch of goods will not be large; it mainly depends on Chhay's reaction.
If he thinks it's okay, he can decide whether to increase the purchase quantity or suspend it. He can't just ask for 10 tons and have Zhang Long send him 100 tons.
The first batch of organic fruit weighed about 10 tons, but most of it was AA grade, totaling around 200 tons!
Chatchai picked up the phone and dialed.
In Thailand, the Yukhun family is quite influential.
Sure enough, Zhang Long's goods were arranged to be unloaded in the first batch.
As soon as the goods were unloaded, the inspection team behind him didn't even wait for the goods to be put into the warehouse; they went straight to the dock to open the boxes and conduct inspections.
The testing team from Chachai consisted of more than 30 people, who immediately opened the box for inspection.
This has nothing to do with personal relationships; business is business, especially since these are expensive imported fruits.
Zhang Long didn't care. These were all high-tech products from the system, and he didn't believe the other party could detect any problems.
These people, carrying professional instruments, opened and inspected each item one by one, and were busy until 11:21 a.m. before finally announcing that the inspection was completed.
Zhang Long couldn't help but sigh, "This testing team is really working hard; they've been busy since 4 a.m. until now."
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up to Chatchai, whispered a few words to him, and then left.
Even if Zhang Long didn't hear what they said clearly, he could guess the gist just by looking at their expressions.
After all, Chatchai was all smiles, his satisfaction practically overflowing. Even the most oblivious person could probably guess that the other party was extremely satisfied with the quality of this batch of goods.
Sure enough, Chatchai extended his right hand to Zhang Long, and the two shook hands, signifying the official start of their cooperation!
Then both parties headed back home, and the next step was for their representatives to sign the formal contract.
While on the bus, Chatchai expressed dissatisfaction with the quantity of this batch of fruit, suggesting that the next batch should have more organic fruit, ideally ten times the current amount.
He has no worries about selling his fruit. His family has connections with royal families and nobles in Southeast Asian countries, and the fruit alone from these families' tables can make him a fortune.
Moreover, this is also a barometer for wealthy people in Southeast Asian countries.
Everything should be modeled after the royal family. It doesn't matter if things are a bit more expensive, as long as they are of good quality.
These rich people aren't stupid. If it were just a pure scam, they'd be fooled once.
However, Zhang Long's source of goods is indeed excellent. As the testing team just mentioned, this batch of goods is the best they have seen in all their years in the industry.
That one sentence alone was enough for him to make a big bet, because this team served the royal family, and he had gone to great lengths to bring them over.
Thus, with both parties showing mutual interest, they officially signed a cooperation agreement.
Chatchai also became the first foreigner to collaborate with Zhang Long.
Sure enough, the moment both parties put away the contract, Zhang Long felt that the other party's smile became more sincere. Indeed, the relationship is closest when both parties have something to gain. If it is only one-sided demand, even the greatest favor will disappear after a few times.
That evening, at the same estate, Chatchai specially hosted a celebratory banquet with local characteristics to mark the success of the collaboration.
Everyone at Red Dragon Company had a blast. The past few days had been filled with busyness and squabbles, and now that things were over, it was inevitable that they would let loose a bit.
Zhang Long didn't care and left the scene with Hu Xinxin, intending to find Chachai to say goodbye.
Chachai knew as soon as they met that Zhang Long and the other two were preparing to go back, so he decided to give them a small gift.
Zhang Long and his companion were also curious about what it was, so they followed him to a storage room.
When he saw this, he really wanted to complain: This doesn't look like a place to store particularly valuable items.
After watching Chatchai open the door with the key and go inside, they discovered that it was a completely different world inside.
"Zhang, pick anything you like from here."
"I know you like these things, but nothing is more precious than our friendship."
Zhang Long immediately uttered a few polite words: "Chachai, you're too kind."
"We're good friends, good friends don't say such formal things..."
He wanted to say something more, but when his eyes fell on the ram's head right in front of him, he couldn't say anything more.
"this……"
"This is truly a case of finding something you've been searching for everywhere without even looking for it!"
“Chachai, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you anymore. This bronze head is extremely important to me. Name your price.”
"Otherwise, you might feel you've been taken advantage of later, which could damage our relationship!"
Chatchai stared at the bronze head in front of him, trying hard to remember where he had gotten it. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and remembered that he had bought it for 100,000 euros in an antique shop in France three years ago.
