Chapter 63 (1/2)
Ever since the high-level management of Shengfeng had fallen apart, Xihuang Industrial had treated Huan differently: Zhang Rong had been catering to his every wish, and even Yu Tingli, who had come from the Huang Family Funds, had become respectful.
In the far-off Brazil, a subsidiary amounted to a separate company. However, if the boss' son came, different styles could bring about different results.
When hearing that Huang Xuan was going to receive oil at the Port of Santos, Zhang Rong put aside all the work to make sure that the boat could enter the port half a day in advance. During the busy periods, not all the boats were able to anchor or unload. What was worse, Huang Xuan hoped to anchor the boat at the dock he wanted so that it would be more convenient to use the oil.
Zhang Rong met all of Huang Xuan's demands. By June 20th, Rolin had got 100,000 barrels of light oil, which was equivalent to 5,600 kWh of electricity.
Rolin was very happy. Although he had no emotions, Huang Xuan could sense it through his words.
”Huang Xuan, 15 companies had handed in their applications for the purchase of lumber to us. I have arranged a tender this afternoon. Time for you to deal with it.” Rolin had never used the ”us” before. He had also never made a decision on his own. It seemed that his capability had been improved.
”Rolin, has my authority been improved?” Huang Xuan asked.
”Yes.”
”Do we have the same authority now?” Huang Xuan asked again with a smile.
”Mine is level 21 while yours is level 22.”
Huang Xuan pouted. He had forgotten that when the base was upgraded, Rolin's authority would be elevated too.
While he was chatting casually with Rolin about the legal issues of the agreement, the helicopter arrived at the lumber farm of Capres. Rolin had invited more than 60 people from 15 companies, among whom, the Brazilians were the minority. This was a developing country after all, where the expensive oak wasn't consumed much.
Modeste had been waiting long on the parking ap.r.o.n. When the helicopter was landing, he didn't run but looked up, pressed his hair and squinting his eyes against the wind.
Although Huang Xuan had been used to people's respect, as a teenager, he still cared about people's att.i.tude to him. He shook hands tightly with Modeste and said with a smile, ”President, you didn't have to wait for me yourself. A guide would have been enough.”
”No, I must. Here is the biggest open storage field in Capres. I should do the introduction for Boss myself.”
”OK.” Although Huang Xuan had already learned everything about this place from Rolin, he was happy with a personal introduction.
Modeste was talkative, pa.s.sionate, warm, and confident. Their conversation was pleasant.
