Section 8, Zhang Facai

Xu Shuting was secretly astonished upon seeing him. Although she had never met Zhang Facai, she was aware of his quirks. The more polite Zhang Facai was to you, the closer you were to misfortune. Conversely, the more he enjoyed making jokes at your expense, the more it indicated that you were his friend. Being friends with Zhang Facai was something Xu Shuting had never even considered.

"Business card?" Zhang Facai muttered, "Ye Feng, is your boss that kid? Are you dissatisfied with the previous company’s boss for not being as fat as I am, or do you think the ladies there are not as beautiful as this one?"

He took out a business card and handed it to Xu Shuting. After receiving Xu Shuting's business card, he didn't even glance at it. Judging by his demeanor, he was originally prepared to toss it directly into the trash can. However, after casting a glance at Ye Feng, he still smiled and tucked it into his pocket.

He laughed heartily and walked out, naturally drawing the attention of those around him, wondering where this madman had come from. Xu Shuting hurriedly chased after him and saw Zhang Facai had already entered the elevator. She urgently asked, "Boss Zhang, who should I contact regarding the contract issue"

"However, I am not hungry yet," Zhang Facai patted his belly. "I had a little something to eat on the plane. I am a person who distinguishes between public and private matters. First, let's take care of the important business, then we can talk. Where are the drying machines you are selling?"

Although there is a saying that goes, "Pies falling from the sky are mostly poisonous," Ye Feng paid no heed to that. He thought carefully and said, "Are you Zhang Facai? I contacted you twice last month?" This was not due to his good memory, but because he had indeed made two phone calls for business last month, and it was to the same person!

Although Xu Shuting knew that he underestimated her company, she could not help but admire his ability, because he was right; one cannot achieve great success all at once. Even if a pioneer were to receive a large order worth millions, it might not be feasible to take it on. "Alright, Boss Zhang, it's a deal. We have a deadline of twenty days. What will the payment method be?"

My name is Xu Shuting, the General Manager of the Pioneer. Xu Shuting handed over a business card with a composed demeanor, "May I ask Mr. Zhang, could you please leave a business card?"

I am not accustomed to being in debt to others, nor do I find this task of any use to me. Ye Feng unexpectedly replied with such a statement, "If you feel it is a loss, you are welcome to find someone else to take on this task."

Xu Shuting was so furious that she nearly spat blood, wishing she could kick Ye Feng out with one swift motion. Unexpectedly, Zhang Facai was not angry at all; he merely smiled and said, "Alright, well said. Then consider it as I owe you a meal. When the time comes, I will invite you, and you must do me the honor."

"You little rascal, you finally remembered me. I said that as soon as I arrived in City S, the first thing I would do is come find you." Zhang Facai laughed heartily, his face beaming with joy, and he couldn't stop smiling. He patted Ye Feng's shoulder vigorously, "Have you eaten? I have no idea where to find something that suits my taste in this rundown place."

She remains composed and steady, even considering the possibility of using Ye Feng and others as pawns for deception. Although this possibility is minimal, she cannot afford to be careless. The company has absorbed all her efforts, and she cannot afford to lose

Xu Shuting took the check, her hands trembling slightly. The check was correct; three million could definitely be cashed immediately. However, with such a windfall, it felt inappropriate. He did not inquire about the price or the discount, but paid in cash directly. What kind of businessman would do that

However, upon seeing that business card, Xu Shuting gasped. Indeed, this person was Zhang Facai. Compared to his business card, her own was practically worthless. No wonder he wanted to discard it. The production cost of Zhang Facai's business card was 1,000 US dollars, specially made in Switzerland, and it was almost equivalent to a microcomputer. He had only customized a total of 100 cards, which he already considered too many, not because he was concerned about spending too much money, but because he believed there weren't that many people to give them to.

Zhang Facai burst into laughter and patted Ye Feng's shoulder vigorously

Given the scale and production capacity of this company, Zhang Facai stopped smiling and said calmly. At that moment, he truly resembled a businessman. "A three million order and the books will take at least two weeks to produce. Adding in inspection and shipping, with all the miscellaneous details, it will take about twenty days. If I were to give you a twenty million order, I would have to wait until next year to receive the goods, or the pressure might be too great for your company to handle, and it could collapse. Besides, you have plenty of time to chase girls, but where do I find so much time!"

"Let that kid Ye Feng find me," Zhang Facai left his last words as the elevator doors closed, leaving Xu Shuting, who was bewildered, to turn around and look at the confused Ye Feng

Who is this young lady? Although Zhang Facai had a beaming smile, his eyes revealed a shrewdness rarely seen even among merchants

"This is the Joy Century Light Sensor." Xu Shuting could no longer hold back and walked over. An order of three million is not a small amount. For a startup company, achieving this figure in a year already indicates profitability, not to mention that this person is Zhang Facai

Yet, this is precisely the kind of person who engages in all sorts of business, and he actually comes here to befriend a spineless little fellow, not to mention buying something worth three million that he doesn't even know the name of

"Payment?" Zhang Facai laughed, reached into his pocket, took out a checkbook, wrote an amount, and handed it to Xu Shuting, "Of course, I will pay in full at once"

Zhang Facai was about to speak when suddenly the phone rang. He frowned slightly, took out his phone, and exchanged a few words. With some regret, he looked at Tushu and said to Ye Feng: "Ye Feng, I have something to attend to, so I can't have dinner with you today. Remember that you owe me a meal."

Ye Feng spoke in a plain and unremarkable manner, as if he did not regard Zhang Facai at all, and it seemed he was unaware of Zhang Facai's background.

You seem to be a bit heavier than General Chen. Initially, I told General Chen to get in touch with Zhang Facai, saying that you wanted to purchase equipment worth 20 million. However, he said I was just messing with him. Ye Feng laughed and said, Later I mentioned that I hadn't made any orders for two months, and he praised my honesty. But you said last time that you wanted to buy 20 million worth, so why has it now changed to 3 million

"It is not a drying instrument, it is infrared, infrared..." Ye Feng hesitated a bit. Having been at the Pioneer for two months, apart from sleeping, he had been in a daze. Not to mention the functions of the products, he could hardly even remember their names.

Xu Shuting stood up in anger, her face still filled with rage upon hearing the figure of three million. This is an office environment, yet the visitors were shouting like a bunch of ruffians. Before she could utter the words to ask them to leave, upon hearing the name Zhang Facai, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief as she stood there, staring blankly at the increasingly rotund figure.

Ye Feng glanced at Zhang Facai and finally smiled. However, Xu Shuting was taken aback again. Ye Feng, wearing wide-brimmed glasses, appeared somewhat dull; to put it bluntly, he seemed foolish. Yet, when he smiled, he exuded an indescribable elegance. The appearance of such an expression on his face created a remarkably unique contrast

She still harbored some doubts about the identity of the person before her. More accurately, she questioned how Zhang Facai could possibly be associated with this seemingly utterly useless Ye Feng. She wanted to verify this person's identity, but although this fat man appeared quite carefree, from Xu Shuting's perspective, his entire outfit was worth at least over one million.

Zhang Facai, this name may seem rustic, but in the business world, it is regarded as legendary. His business spans the globe, and it is said that he started from scratch at the age of eighteen, earning one million US dollars from his first acquisition of waste paper. By the age of thirty-six, his assets had multiplied by three hundred sixty times. Now, at just over forty, no one can accurately calculate the extent of his wealth

Xu Shuting's gaze was piercing, and she certainly noticed his small gestures. In her heart, she was even more puzzled; it seemed that the president of a small company like herself was completely disregarded by Zhang Facai. This implied that he had only come over out of respect for Ye Feng, but how could that be possible

What is the shipping address? When will the contract be signed?

Of course, this does not mean that he lacks business partners; rather, it is because his business card is highly collectible. Many wealthy individuals and officials take pride in receiving his card, yet he does not even spare it a glance. The fact that he has given himself one is already an immense favor.
