CHAPTER 151: MORE PURCHASE

Overwhelmed with gratitude to Bai Hanyun and Heaven, Li Dagou nearly cried from joy.

Sensing that Bai Hanyun might also be interested in charcoal, Li Dagou asked with a hopeful tone, "Miss Bai, how about the smokeless silver charcoal? Would you like to try it too?"

Since she had already bought firewood, Bai Hanyun hesitated. ’Do I need charcoal too? But it’s summer now, so the price should be lower.’

After a brief moment of thought, she made up her mind. ’Forget it. Better to stock up now and let Feng Xiyan keep it for winter.’

With that in mind, she asked, "Boss Li, how much is the smokeless silver charcoal?"

Li Dagou smiled and explained, "Miss Bai, our smokeless silver charcoal briquettes are made from anthracite coal. They produce high heat, burn cleanly, and emit very little smoke. They are the top choice for indoor heating in the winter. The price is also reasonable, just 5.2 yuan per kilogram."

Thinking about how dangerous charcoal smoke could be, especially for people unfamiliar with its risks, Bai Hanyun thought that using smokeless charcoal is safer.

She nodded and said, "Then give me 50,000 tons."

"Alright. Please wait a moment while I calculate the total," Li Dagou replied, quickly tapping at his calculator.

A moment later, his hands trembled slightly as he said, "Mi–Miss Bai, the total for this order is 2.235 billion yuan."

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he added, "Since you are buying so much, I will give you a discount of 35 million. You only need to pay 2.2 billion for the bituminous coal, firewood, and smokeless silver charcoal briquettes."

Bai Hanyun winced at the price as felt her heart bleeding. She sighed and said, "Boss Li, please arrange the deliveries starting tomorrow. Prioritize the bituminous coal and firewood first."

"Understood. I will get everything arranged right away." Li Dagou promised.

After closing the deal, Bai Hanyun immediately transferred 200 million yuan to Li Dagou’s bank account and said, "Boss Li, I will pay the remaining balance per delivery, as usual."

Having done business with her multiple times, Li Dagou had no doubts she would follow through. Trusting her word, he accepted the payment and said, "Thank you for your patronage, Miss Bai."

After ending the call, Bai Hanyun dialed another number from her contacts. She waited briefly before the call connected.

A second later, a lazy male voice came through her phone, "This is the Mu Family Construction Materials Store. How can I help you?"

"I’d like to order high-carbon steel," Bai Hanyun replied.

Hearing this, Mu Yingzuo recalled the large order from thirteen days ago and asked, "How much do you need, and in what size?"

Bai Hanyun thought for a moment and asked, "Do you sell T10-type high-carbon steel?"

Mu Yingzuo was a bit surprised she specifically mentioned T10, as it was the best grade of high-carbon steel for weapon forging.

Frowning slightly, he replied, "We do have that type of high-carbon steel, but it’s more expensive than regular high-carbon steel."

"How much is the T10 steel?" Bai Hanyun asked calmly.

Realizing she was serious, Mu Yingzuo checked the price list and replied, "It’s 7,500 yuan per ton for T10 high-carbon steel flat bars and 7,100 yuan per ton for T10 high-carbon steel round bars. Which one do you want, Miss?"

Bai Hanyun wasn’t very familiar with the specifications needed for forging weapons, so she opened her laptop and searched online.

Moments later, she said, "Do you have flat bars with a thickness of 15 mm and a width of 60 mm?"

Mu Yingzuo raised his brows slightly at the specific measurement and replied, "Yes. How much do you want?"

"I want to buy 10,000 tons," Bai Hanyun said.

Mu Yingzuo paused for a second at the number and asked, "Would you like us to deliver the goods to the same address as last time purchase, Miss?"

Surprised he remembered her, Bai Hanyun replied, "Yes."

Receiving her confirmation, Mu Yingzuo thought, ’This lady has purchased 20,000 tons of high-carbon steel this month. If I can keep her as a client, I will never have to worry about sales again.’

Making a mental note, he typed on his laptop and pulled up her previous order.

After reviewing the information, he asked, "Miss Bai, would you like the goods delivered all at once or in batches?"

Since she had already arranged batch deliveries with Li Dagou, she decided to do the same here.

"Send them in batches," she replied.

Mu Yingzuo noted down her order and calculated the total.

Once he was done, he said, "The total cost for 10,000 tons of T10 flat bars is 75 million yuan. Miss Bai, you can pay 5 million upfront as a down payment and pay the rest in batches upon delivery."

"Alright. Do you still use the same bank account?" she asked.

"Yes."

After confirming with him, Bai Hanyun transferred 5 million yuan to Mu Yingzuo’s bank account.

Moments later, a notification chimed on Mu Yingzuo’s phone.

Seeing that 5 million yuan had been credited, he said, "We will begin arranging delivery right away. If you need anything else, feel free to contact me. Thank you for your patronage, Miss Bai."

"Thank you, Boss Mu."

After ending the call, Bai Hanyun calculated how much she had spent that day. Then she opened her banking app to check her current balance.

She did some mental math to subtract the remaining payments owed to both Li Dagou and Mu Yingzuo, then muttered, "That leaves me with only 3.3 billion yuan I can use for now."

Tapping her phone case, Bai Hanyun thought for a moment and searched online for what kind of oil would be suitable for fire attacks.

After browsing for half an hour, Bai Hanyun sighed, as she muttered with a hint of amazement in her voice.

"The ancients were really clever. They actually managed to refine petroleum into kerosene and used it in warfare."
