After listening to the big boss's question, Director Edric lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, "If one machine works continuously for 8 hours, it can load about 1,500 logs."
Jason Liu calculated in his mind. There were only four log grabbers, which meant that only 6,000 logs could be shipped a day.
This is too slow!
Frowning slightly and thinking for a while, Jason Liu looked at Director Edric. "Can you rent a few more wood grabbers from other places? That way, the loading speed will be much faster."
Director Edric looked at the corner of the warehouse, where more than 100,000 logs were already piled up. He nodded and asked, "How many do you want to rent?"
"Rent another 16 sets, for a total of 20 log grabbers. That would allow us to load 30,000 logs a day, which is enough."
Jason Liu calculated that 30,000 logs could be transported to the Ironwood Timber Co Wood Processing Plant during the day—900,000 logs a month, which would suffice.
Gulp—
Director Edric couldn't help swallowing hard and reminded him, "Mr. Liu, if there are that many wood grabbers at the warehouse, there must be at least 20 at the wood processing factory to help unload the goods!"
"Then continue to rent them." Jason Liu waved his hand. He didn't care about the money.
"Our heavy trucks for transporting logs aren't enough either. To ensure smooth transportation, we'll need to rent a few more trucks."
As Director Edric spoke, he began calculating the distance from the warehouse to the Ironwood Timber Co Wood Processing Factory and the time spent on the road to ensure continuous loading and unloading.
Jason Liu handed over all transportation matters to Factory Manager Edric and then asked about the sale of logs.
"You don't have to worry about processing. We've removed all the machines for processing square wood and planks according to your requirements. We also bought a few machines for batch processing logs to ensure we can handle them quickly and start selling them!"
Having said that, Director Edric walked to the tall pile of logs on the opposite side, reached out to touch them, examined them closely, and said with surprise, "Mr. Liu, these logs seem to be of good quality. I'm afraid you don't even need to treat them—they can be sold directly!"
Jason Liu only knew that the logs that had passed through him were definitely free of pests and diseases because the shuttle door had killed all living things inside.
However, regarding the humidity and other conditions necessary for selling logs, Jason Liu didn't know much.
But since Factory Manager Edric said they could be sold without treatment, Jason Liu asked him to do a random inspection after returning. If they met the standards, he could just process them slightly and start selling.
"Well, no problem. I'll go back to the factory and wait for the first batch of logs to arrive so I can conduct a random inspection. If possible, I'll treat them lightly and sell them. That'll save us a lot of time and effort."
After finishing speaking, Director Edric greeted the big boss and hurriedly followed the loaded truck back to the wood processing factory.
Jason Liu watched the wood-grabbing machines work for a while, then returned to the small warehouse in front, drove his business car out, and headed back to the company in the nearby high-tech zone building.
Summoning his managers for a meeting in the conference room, Jason Liu instructed the sales department to contact log buyers immediately and prepare to sell logs in large quantities.
"Great! Our sales department finally has work to do!"
Jiang Chuchu blushed with joy upon hearing they could begin selling logs.
For the past few months, the company had only been purchasing various goods, with no income, and the employees had grown uneasy.
Now that there was finally a breakthrough, everyone was naturally excited.
This meant that Fusion Trading would no longer need the boss to inject capital and could instead rely on its own revenue for a positive cycle.
Such a company was healthy and promising.
Finally, no more worrying about running out of money in the company account!
Lin Xiaohan also felt relieved. As the head of the finance department, she had been deeply concerned about all the money flowing only one way—out.
"Don't worry. Once we open the log sales channel, the company's funds will be replenished quickly!" Jason Liu encouraged his managers.
"I'll contact Director Edric of Ironwood Timber Co shortly, and we'll visit the wood processing and furniture factories nearby one by one to sell our logs as soon as possible!"
Jiang Chuchu was full of energy. "This time, it's the sales department's turn to shine!"
Jason Liu nodded. He had no problem entrusting sales to Jiang Chuchu. But to accelerate progress, he added, "We can lower the selling price a bit—anyway, my purchase cost is minimal."
Not just minimal—practically zero.
Of course, there was no need for others to know that.
By pricing slightly below market rate, Jiang Chuchu quickly secured deals with wood processing and furniture factories in City.
Within just one week, the simply processed logs from Ironwood Timber Co Processing Factory were sold directly to buyers and surrounding areas.
In the first week, the sales volume reached 50,000 logs. After deducting transportation, machinery, and labor costs, the profit per log was nearly 800 yuan.
50,000 logs generated 40 million yuan in income.
Fusion Trading finally had revenue flowing into its account.
Jason Liu continued transporting batches of logs to the modern warehouse regularly. As for logistics and sales, they were now handled by Director Edric and Jiang Chuchu.
Log sales gradually settled into a steady rhythm. More and more customers came to purchase, and the sales department finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With Fusion Trading's reputation growing, sales steadily increased.
Jason Liu finally took a few days off to accompany Lin Xiaohan—shopping, watching movies, and enjoying life like a couple in love.
On the Westeros side, the King's procession camped overnight in the town of Holloway.
However, because Prince Joffrey was bitten by Arya's direwolf Nymeria, the King and Queen were furious and wanted all the Stark family's direwolves executed.
Arya had driven Nymeria away early to save her from the King's guards.
But Sansa and Bran's direwolves were chained. Ed Stark pleaded with his good brother, King Robert, but the King refused and insisted on killing the two wolves, Summer and Lady.
Eddard's face turned ashen with rage. He angrily said that he would rather kill the wolves himself than let the King's swordsman, Ilyn Payne, do it.
In the Stark camp, Ed, holding the sword gifted by Jason Liu, looked at the two chained direwolves—Summer and Lady—with a heavy heart.
"Ooo, ooo… No, Father, I beg you, don't kill Summer. It's very obedient, it didn't bite anyone… Please don't kill it—" Bran cried, his tears blurring his vision as he clutched his father's leg.
