Chapter 54 (1/2)

Although Huang Xuan intended to buy a storing company, a place was still needed to store the lumber transported from P138. The pa.s.sage was too small for 60,000 m³ of lumber. To make sure the lumber wouldn't be left inside the pa.s.sage, Rolin had to use energy to keep it in place, which Rolin resented the most.

In other planes, Huang Xuan didn't have to consider others' points of views. Either they thought it strange or unbelievable or incomprehensible, he was leaving in three days anyway and maybe would never come back again. But in P112, where his family was, he had to take account of others. The whale meat could be put into containers and successfully feigned import or export products with Rolin's help, but this method wouldn't work with lumber. The biggest China fir he had purchased was even bigger than a standard container. Huang Xuan had to ask Rolin to contact two logistics companies and a specialized storing company and get into the village quietly.

Without Rolin, Huang Xuan would have had a problem with it. Ever since the two computers had been bought, Rolin had been much more enthusiastic about its ”work” than before. He had completely changed the records of the Santos custom and cleared a secluded vacant lot at the port to unload the lumber.

Huang Xuan immediately informed the two logistics companies to transport the lumber. Rolin had also altered the records of Docas, the port management company, by which, the port now had become a rental, and the rent had been paid off. Even when the company audited the accounts, nothing would go wrong. All this done, Huang Xuan took a short break and called in Li Qing.

”Please arrange a meeting with the person operating Shengfeng Company for me.”

Li Qing hesitated.

”Now the managerial authority of Shengfeng—”

”I know,” Huang Xuan interrupted him. ”After all, I am the boss. I must know who is running it. Go and contact them.”

Li Qing didn't dare to say more and left right away. He felt the change of Huang Xuan most directly. It had been said that sales tempered people the most. If business during time travel could be counted as sales, Huang Xuan had become a qualified salesman.

Having asked for a leave from the tutor, Huang Xuan spent some time learning Greek in the base. Technology was really magic. If he studied from a tutor, it would take him at least five years to speak a foreign language fluently.

Shengfeng Company was the Huang Family Funds' main investment project in Brazil while Xihuang Industrial was a venture between World Group and the Huang Family Funds. According to the Chinese way of thinking, Shengfeng belonged to the Huang Family while Xihuang was just a collateral line. However, the general manager of Shengfeng was also a collateral relative of the Huang Family. It was Huang Youwei who was 46 years old, right in the prime of life. Although he was a near relative of Huang Xuan, he was now sent overseas, far from the power center of the family. The family didn't even have a detailed plan for its overseas market.

Huang Xuan took his place at the head of the table. Huang Youwei and his two vice managers were sitting opposite him. Huang Xuan ignored them and enjoyed his tea. Li Qing tried to pour tea for him but was driven away.

Both sides kept silent except for the introductory part. Huang Youwei was counting the stripes on his pants. About five minutes later, a vice manager whose surname was He broke the ice.

”Has Huang Gongzi got used to the lifestyle in Brazil? The food is very different from home. None of us was used to it when we just arrived here.”

After saying this, he started to giggle with the other vice manager, Meng Quhao.
