Hua Mi, holding her phone, gave Ye Rong a soft "hmm".
"Let me take a look."
What's going on? Just a few days ago, we reached an agreement with Qin Zhen to sell an unlimited amount of wood to City C for heating.
As a result, Ye Rong told Hua Mi today that City C refused to accept the wood.
City C really doesn't want those tens of thousands of kilograms of wood?
Hua Mi quickly teleported to the RV supermarket. As soon as she stepped out of the warehouse, she ran into A Fu, who was walking towards her in a hurry.
Upon seeing Hua Mi, Afu hurriedly said,
"Quick, there's a commotion over there."
Hua Mi frowned and followed Afu to the right of the RV supermarket.
The three trees had just been thrown into the warehouse of the RV supermarket by Hua Mi, and they hadn't even started cutting the wood yet.
But the transport planes from City C were already parked on the open ground.
Ye Rong had already prepared a vacant lot next to the tarmac, and quickly set up a waterproof tarpaulin and heaters, creating a simple wood-cutting workshop.
The workers with good strength are already in place.
Once the wood is cut, it will be immediately loaded onto a transport plane and shipped to City C.
When Hua Mi arrived there with A Fu, Ma Zhixuan was arguing with Ye Rong.
To say they were arguing was a stretch; Ye Rong was actually blushing and arguing with Ma Zhixuan about something.
"What's wrong?"
Hua Mi walked over and stood next to Ye Rong.
Seeing Hua Mi arrive, Ye Rong angrily held up a document in her hand and said,
“This Mr. Ma says our timber prices are too high, that it’s a resource we all worked hard to obtain, and that he won’t buy it if we don’t lower the price.”
When I talked to Qin Zhen, we agreed that the wood would be weighed on the spot, then loaded onto a transport plane, and City C would pay for it.
It can be described as a cash-on-delivery transaction.
Qin Zhen made this decision to prevent Hua Mi from being limited in quantity.
Without any limit, as long as Hua Mi's woodworking factory has wood, she can keep buying it.
Now, Ma Zhixuan has jumped out and said that the wood was sold at a high price.
I'm not buying!
Hua Mi nodded with a smile.
"Okay, if you don't want to buy it, then you don't want to buy it. Ye Rong, start work as usual. Sell all the wood you carve to Commander Gong and Ke Minghong, along with the smokeless fire oven."
She couldn't be bothered to talk to Ma Zhixuan. What was the point of arguing? She only had three trees, and heating in Xiangcheng and Bcheng was already a tight situation.
If it weren't for the fact that Qin Zhen was a person worth befriending, Hua Mi wouldn't have agreed to Qin Zhen's request for an unlimited supply of wood.
Isn't this perfect? It's not that Hua Mi refuses to sell wood to City C; it's that Ma Yongchun's younger brother, Ma Zhixuan, refuses to buy it.
Hua Mi led Ye Rong back, and on the way, Hua Mi was very satisfied with the current situation.
She looked at the cold weather she had experienced in her life, and at the current level, it was quite good; it was far from freezing to death.
But if it gets any colder, it's hard to say.
In my past life, it was summer that turned into extreme cold overnight. Many people were wearing short sleeves and skirts and didn't even realize what was happening before freezing to death in the snow.
In this lifetime, from wearing only a thin layer of clothing to experiencing heavy snowfall, a few days were still given to the survivors.
So Hua Mi didn't hear anyone say that anyone had frozen to death.
With cotton and wood readily available, it would be perfect if Xiangcheng and Bcheng could achieve zero deaths from freezing.
Moreover, when the wood is sold to Gong Yi, Gong Yi won't haggle with Hua Mi; he'll pay whatever Hua Mi says.
Let Hua Mi handle all the expenses herself.
In front of the transport plane, Li Wangsheng, the garrison commander of City C, glared at Ma Zhixuan with a hint of rage in his eyes.
He walked over to Ma Zhixuan and whispered,
"Young Master Ma, we should discuss this matter with Mrs. Ma."
He had just parked the transport plane when he received a message from Ma Yongchun, saying that Ma Zhixuan wanted to test himself and volunteered to work in the material transport team.
To be honest, Ma Yongchun doted on his younger brother. They were the only two brothers left in their family, and Ma Yongchun was older than Ma Zhixuan.
Although they were brothers in name only, Ma Yongchun was like a father to Ma Zhixuan, raising him up.
Since the disaster struck, Ma Zhixuan, who was still in university, has had nothing to do.
In this environment, there's nowhere to study, and even if you do study, you don't know what you can do with it.
So Ma Zhixuan has been idle all this time.
As Qin Zhen said, Ma Yongchun sent his younger brother to Xiangcheng so that Ma Zhixuan could make friends with a group of people in Xiangcheng and use his methods and connections to connect Xiangcheng and City C more deeply.
Ma Zhixuan said he wanted to do something, and Ma Yongchun was very happy.
It's the kind of joy I feel when my younger brother starts to grow up.
Unexpectedly, on his very first day in office, Ma Zhixuan began to object to the wholesale price of timber.
Five yuan a pound of wood is too expensive for Ma Zhixuan in this weather, so he wants to reduce it to one yuan a pound.
They claimed that Hua Mi's supplies were the result of everyone's hard work, implying that Hua Mi's supplies were obtained illegally and that they made too much money, so they had to share the profits with everyone.
Li Wangsheng had no idea how this spoiled brat could think straight; he could negotiate a contract and then suddenly try to lower the price.
The timber hadn't even been loaded onto the transport plane yet, and the deal was already on the verge of falling through. Li Wangsheng was incredibly annoyed.
Ma Zhixuan glanced sideways at Li Wangsheng.
"Who's in charge here, me or my sister-in-law? She's pregnant and doesn't know anything about the market. A pound of wood is selling for 5 yuan. Why doesn't Hua Mi just rob it?"
There are trees everywhere outside the city. The earthquake crushed the entire ground. As long as the management is willing to mobilize the survivors to search, the trees outside the city are free.
Ma Zhixuan couldn't understand it. He stubbornly believed that his sister-in-law was trying to curry favor with Hua Mi, which was why she bought Hua Mi's wood at a high price.
Li Wangsheng looked at Ma Zhixuan with a cool gaze.
"Young Master Ma probably doesn't know that our garrison camp is as cold as an ice cellar. Because we are busy with the rescue, we don't have time to go out and search for a large number of trees."
Moreover, once the trees are brought back, they still need to be cut down.
It rained every day for a while, and it's been snowing for the past few days. Many trees are soaking in jelly-like water.
The wood was wet.
The wood provided by Hua Mi was dry; her trees had not been soaked in water even in such harsh weather.
Ma Zhixuan, hands in his pockets, frowned and said to Li Wangsheng as if it were the most natural thing in the world,
“You’re stationed here, so you’re naturally more hardworking and resilient than the average survivor. Can’t you squeeze out some time to do more work?”
"Never learn from the garrison under Gong Yi. These garrison soldiers don't know what they're busy with every day. They don't even have the time or compassion to save an innocent girl."
"You should collect trees while rescuing survivors to meet their heating needs."
His words became increasingly outrageous.
Li Wangsheng, with his square face, turned ashen with anger at Ma Zhixuan. He stared at Ma Zhixuan in shock and fury.
"Does Young Master Ma treat our garrison like cattle, or does he think that our rescue missions are like a picnic, where we can carry the wounded in one hand and bring back a log in the other?"
