[ " Oh! " ] Kanter exclaimed.
Kanter's interest was suddenly piqued, and he eagerly asked, [ " Tell me quickly, how did things turn around? " ]
Just moments ago, Kanter had come across a recent report.
The report unveiled a series of new beauty benefits derived from the fish oil of a rare deep-sea white fish. Kanter's emotions are filled with a mix of delight and concern.
On the one hand, the efficacy of this deep-sea fish oil was exceptional, a true gift from the heavens. On the other hand, Kanter worried about the challenges involved in obtaining it. Hunting and capturing this peculiar white fish could only be done at depths of two to three kilometres, making the process incredibly difficult.
Sensing hope, Gobert said, [ " Boss, I've discovered that Global Shipping Group possesses remarkable capabilities in deep-sea salvage, detection, and hunting. We could try discussing our requirements with them. " ]
[ " Then waste no time and arrange a consultation. Let them know about our needs, " ] Kanter urged.
Gobert nodded and said, [ " I've already reached out to the Boss of Global Shipping Group, explaining our requirements. They responded positively, assuring us that there wouldn't be any issues. " ]
[ " What! " ] exclaimed Kanter, surprised by Global Shipping Group's confidence.
[ " So, everything seems to be in order? This is excellent news! " ] Kanter said.
A wave of happiness washed over Kanter, and he raised his hand in appreciation. [ " Thank God, we're finally saved. " ]
He couldn't contain his joy as this turn of events was indeed unexpected.
Regaining his composure, Kanter declared, [ " Book me a ticket to Yanguo. I want to personally visit Global Shipping Group. " ]
Standing beside him, Gobert offered a gentle reminder, [ " BOSS, there is one thing to consider. The other party's asking price is quite high. They're demanding $5,000 per kilogram for the fish oil extracted from this rare white fish. " ]
[ " Oh, " ] Kanter hesitated. [ " $5,000 per kilogram isn't cheap. That's equivalent to $5 per gram. " ]
[ " $5,000 per kilogram means a staggering $5 million per ton. " ]
Contemplating the situation, Kanter realized that if their research and development succeeded, the hand cream they planned to launch would require approximately 10 grams of this deep-sea fish oil. That would amount to a cost of around $50 for the fish oil alone.
The original price of the hand cream was set at around $120. If the fish oil alone accounted for $50, each bottle's worth would increase by more than $50.
The price seemed steep. After careful consideration, Kanter concluded that he could accept the cost.
Diya was already positioned as a high-end brand, and pricing a hand cream at $150 or even $180 should be fine. Additionally, the critical factor was that with the inclusion of this fish oil, the skincare and moisturizing effects would surpass any hand cream currently available in the market.
Kanter swiftly made up his mind to visit Global Shipping Group in person.
Today, Kang Zhenggang had a day off. Liu Yong personally granted him a three-day break.
With a cheerful disposition, Kang Zhenggang drove to pick up his wife and children, embarking on a journey to Huahai City.
He had purchased a brand new off-road vehicle worth over 500,000 yuan, a genuinely splendid car. He had also bought a house in Huahai City along with the vehicle.
Back then, he was a humble security guard, struggling to support his family on a meagre monthly salary. The pressure was immense. But now, everything has changed.
After their last mission in Somalia, Liu Yong rewarded him and He Qiang with 8 million yuan each. Holding the cash checks in his hands, it felt like a dream, almost too good to be true.
-8 million!
He could never have fathomed that he would possess such an enormous sum of money one day.
Initially, Liu Yong had promised them 5 million yuan each. Still, due to their exceptional performance and Liu Yong's substantial earnings of 1 billion US dollars, he generously increased the reward to 8 million per person.
After receiving the money from his Boss and expressing his gratitude repeatedly, Kang Zhenggang purchased a beautifully decorated house in the bustling city of Huahai. The location was ideal, with the community's entrance near the subway.
Due to the house being fully furnished, Kang Zhenggang could practically move in with just his bags in tow.
The property was sold for over 12 million yuan, and Kang Zhenggang made a down payment of more than 7 million yuan. He was confident he would soon repay the remaining loan of over 4 million yuan.
With the remaining 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, he bought a car worth more than 500,000 yuan and gave his wife almost all the remaining 200,000 yuan.
[ " Husband, can you believe it? We actually bought a house, and it's in such an upscale neighborhood, " ] his wife exclaimed, still in disbelief as they entered the community.
Kang Zhenggang smiled and replied, [ " Darling, you've asked me that several times. Let's go. I'll take you to our new home. " ]
Taking the elevator up to the 26th floor, Kang Zhenggang unlocked the door of Room 2602 and proudly announced, [ " Darling, this is our new home. " ]
[ " Wow, it's stunning! Much better than the house we were renting, " ] his wife exclaimed, admiring the meticulously decorated house.
Indeed, the price of over 12 million yuan ensured a beautifully designed residence.
They explored every corner of their new home. As his wife's eyes welled up with tears, she threw herself into Kang Zhenggang's arms and whispered, [ " Husband, thank you for giving us the opportunity to live in such a wonderful house. " ]
Kang Zhenggang held his wife tenderly, comforting her, [ " Don't cry, my love. I'll work hard and make even more money in the future so that we can live an even better life. " ]
[ " I believe in you, " ] she replied, wiping her tears.
[ " Honey, you don't have to work anymore. I'll entrust all the money I earn to you. You can consider getting a driver's license when you have the time. It'll be convenient for you to drive around, " ] Kang Zhenggang suggested.
[ " All right, I'll do as you say, " ] she agreed, trusting him.
At the Global Shipping Group...
Qiu Yang knocked on Liu Yong's office door and entered, reporting, [ " Boss, Mr. Kanter, the president of Diya Company, along with Gobert, a senior executive, and a group of seven arrived at Huahai International Airport this afternoon." ]
Liu Yong instructed, [ " Arrange for someone to meet them at the airport. " ]
[ " Yes, " ] Qiu Yang acknowledged. Curiosity got the better of him, and he asked, [ " Boss, they're interested in the fat of that deep-sea white fish. Can we really acquire it? " ]
Liu Yong reassured him, [ " It's a minor matter. You don't need to worry. Focus on the reception. I'll meet them tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. " ]
Feeling reassured by his Boss's confidence, Qiu Yang pondered the significance of the deep-sea fish fat.
The next day...
Kanter, Gobert, and their group of seven arrived at the Global Shipping Group and were ushered into the reception room. After a short while, Liu Yong entered the room accompanied by Qiu Yang, Hu Shijun, and others.
The atmosphere was cordial, filled with pleasantries exchanged between the two parties. The friendly environment set the tone for the meeting.
After a casual conversation, the discussion swiftly shifted to the main topic.
Kanter, eager to confirm Global Shipping Group's ability to procure the deep-sea fish oil, inquired once again, [ " Mr. Liu, can your company really obtain that type of deep-sea fish oil? " ] He hoped for a positive response.
Liu Yong responded with a confident smile, [ " Mr. Kanter, you should be asking how many tons of this fish oil we can acquire, not just how many kilograms. "]
Surprised by Liu Yong's response, Kanter couldn't hide his astonishment. [ " Can this really be discussed? " ] he wondered, intrigued by the prospect.
