After a while, Yun Yan said, "Ten thousand tons of scrap steel is not a small amount, and if we recycle it at the current scrap steel price, we will lose a lot, right?"
"Of course I know, but I'm in urgent need of cash now. There's nothing I can do even if I have to sell it at a loss!" Bo Xueer said.
She had spent a lot of effort to get this batch of scrap steel last year, hoping to make some money from it. But now, not only did she not make any money, she also lost a lot of her original capital!
"Bo Xueer, you have persisted for almost two months. Why don't you hold on a little longer? Maybe the price of steel will go up soon!" Yun Yan said.
She was certainly interested in Bo Xueer's 10,000 tons of scrap steel, but she didn't want to take advantage of her. Most importantly, she was worried that when steel prices rebounded in September, Bo Xueer would think she was taking advantage of her!
"Yun Yan, do you think steel prices will recover?" Bo Xueer said with a wry smile.
"How much do you expect to sell it for per ton?" Yun Yan asked.
"I won't bargain with you anymore. At least six million. This is my bottom line!" Bo Xueer said.
The cost of this batch of scrap steel, including transportation and tariffs, cost her more than 7 million. If she hadn't had no other choice, she would not have been willing to lose more than 1 million to sell this batch of scrap steel.
Yun Yan thought about it. Today's international steel price is more than 580 yuan per ton, which means that if she takes over Bo Xueer's batch of scrap steel, she will have to pay at least hundreds of thousands more!
"Let me think about it. I'll call you tomorrow." Yun Yan said.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your call." Bo Xueer said.
She also knew that with the current scrap steel market price, Yun Yan couldn't just take out the money without thinking!
After leaving the cafe, Yun Yan called Shen Ye and asked him to help her find out about the recent situation of Zhou Yuanchao and Bo Xueer.
"Zhou Yuanchao? Wife, why are you suddenly interested in him?" Shen Ye asked.
Of course he remembered Zhou Yuanchao, the man who confessed his love to Yun Yan in the Red Flag Brigade.
"I'm not interested in him, I just want to know about his family's recent situation. Can you help me find out?" Yun Yan said.
"I've also heard from friends about their family's recent situation. The couple started a real estate business two years ago. They made a lot of money before, but the real estate situation has been very unsatisfactory since the beginning of this year, so their company's houses can't be sold. I heard that the bank's interest rates are almost crushing them!" said Shen Ye.
In fact, the situation was not that bad, but Zhou Yuanchao and his team were too careless. They bought land crazily last year, which put all the working capital of the company at risk.
Now that housing prices are falling, land prices are also plummeting, which has led to the current situation!
"So that's how it is. I understand!" Yun Yan said.
"Wife, you haven't told me why you want to know about their family situation!" Shen Ye asked.
Yun Yan told Shen Ye that Bo Xueer had asked her to meet him, and asked him whether he thought he should take up the batch of scrap steel.
"Make your own decisions about your business!" Shen Ye said.
Yun Yan already had an idea in her mind. She could take over this batch of scrap steel, but she had to make it clear with Bo Xueer in advance to avoid any arguments later!
She called Yang Qian and asked her to help hand over the batch of scrap steel to Bo Xueer on her behalf.
"Yun Yan, why don't you go by yourself?" Yang Qian asked.
She knew that she had no way to stop Yun Yan from purchasing scrap steel, so she stopped trying to persuade her.
"I'm going to the north the day after tomorrow, so I'm a little late!" Yun Yan said.
That batch of scrap steel is in Henan Province. It will probably take two or three days to transport the scrap steel back and forth.
"Okay, just go to the north with peace of mind. I will help you with things here!" Yang Qian said.
Then Yun Yan told Yang Qian the address of the mudflat where she stored the scrap steel, and went to the bank to transfer 6.2 million yuan to her account.
After finishing the work, Yun Yan called Bo Xueer and told her that she had decided to take the batch of scrap steel.
"Bo Xue'er, we had an agreement beforehand. You were the one who was willing to sell me this batch of scrap steel. If the steel price recovers in the future, don't accuse me of taking advantage of the situation!" Yun Yan said.
"Don't worry about that. I, Bo Xue'er, am not someone who can't stand losing! Even if the price of this batch of scrap steel goes up immediately after it reaches you, I won't complain."
Bo Xueer had no other choice. Now the company only had two businesses: real estate and scrap steel. In this situation, she could only find a way to keep one of the concentrated funds!
Yun Yan gave her Yang Qian's phone number and asked her to hand over the follow-up matters to Yang Qian.
There was still one day left, which happened to be Saturday. Yun Yan spent the whole day with her son, taking him out to play and eat delicious food.
"Guangming, Mom will be away for more than two months this time. You have to take good care of yourself." Yun Yan said.
"Don't worry, Mom. I can take care of myself. And there is an aunt at home, so you don't have to worry." Shen Guangming said.
He has gotten used to it in the past two years. Although his mother can't be with him all the time like before, she still cares about him just as much.
"Guangming, Mom promised you that I would try to come back in July. Then Mom will take you to Gangcheng to play and visit Aunt Zheng in Guangzhou." Yun Yan said.
"Okay, I miss Aunt Zheng a lot!" Shen Guangming said happily.
Aunt Zheng resigned from her job three years ago because of her age. Guangming was raised by her since he was a child, so he has a very good relationship with Aunt Zheng!
The mother and son went home after dinner, and when they got home they found that Shen Ye had returned with a woman.
"Yun Yan, this is the bodyguard I found for you. Let her accompany you to the north tomorrow!" Shen Ye said.
After saying that, he left in a hurry, saying that he had something to deal with in the Foreign Trade Department.
Yunyan asked her aunt to arrange a guest room for the person so that she could rest upstairs.
The next morning, Yun Yan took her on a train to the north!
Through communication on the train, Yunyan learned her name: Zhang Jingwen.
She was one of the first soldiers trained by the country to protect female diplomats. Later, she retired due to the sequelae of her injuries.
This time, Chen Ye specially spent a lot of money to invite Yun Yan to accompany him to the north. He was not only impressed by her skills but also because she had learned the language of the Maoxiong family before.
"Madam, we have to be careful on our way. Although there are no robbers as arrogant as in 1993, petty thefts are still inevitable," said Zhang Jingwen.
"I understand, don't worry!" Yun Yan said.
All my money was placed in the space, and the luggage bag I carried with me was just a decoration!
This trip to the north will take more than half a month just by train, and the weather gets colder the further north you go.
