Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Outside Linping City.

At the South Bridge Logistics Warehouse Center, a Mercedes-Benz seven-seater business van was leading, followed by a convoy of trucks and cranes that drove in and stopped in front of a small warehouse.

Once the vehicles stopped, Su Jie and Liang Lianjun stepped out of the business van.

Following them were several elite business professionals, including financial and legal experts, clearly indicating a major transaction was in the works.

"The goods are inside."

Su Jie took out the keys, opened the warehouse he had just rented by spending all his assets, and led several people inside.

The warehouse wasn't very large and appeared quite empty, with only a few bare trees placed in the corners.

"It really is Pterocarpus santalinus."

Originally anxious, Liang Lianjun's heart was now completely settled - Su Jie wasn't playing him for a fool.

"Mr. Su, I'd like to take a look at the quality of these raw materials first, and I hope you don't mind if we cut into them a bit."

Liang Lianjun eager and impatient, brought his tools down from the vehicle.

"Since we're all professionals here, that's naturally possible."

Su Jie waved his hand, and Liang Lianjun hurried over to the Pterocarpus santalinus trees.

"This guy's got some crazy connections, to have so much."

Upon first seeing the Pterocarpus santalinus, Liang Lianjun judged that these trees were ancient, vintage stock likely handed down from ancestors, and completely eligible for free trade.

Liang Lianjun didn't know that there was something in the world called Spiritual Power that could easily age wood.

"Diameter about 59 centimeters, length around 16 meters, weight estimated to be five to six tons, this one's diameter is 63 centimeters..."

After measuring the data of five Pterocarpus santalinus trees, Liang Lianjun called a Master to come forward.

The man picked up a chainsaw and started to make a cut at the base of a Pterocarpus santalinus.

Buzz buzz!

When a ring of thin wood was cut off and the sawdust was washed away, revealing the inner core.

Everyone except Su Jie's eyes widened.

Accompanied by a faint scent, the Pterocarpus santalinus revealed a gradient of textures from shallow to deep, presenting an extremely fine ripple pattern.

It was like a natural painting of West Lake, exceptionally dazzling and beautiful.

"Perfect, perfect-grade golden star pattern, this texture, this feel, this oil richness... It's incredible."

Touching the beautiful cut surface as if caressing a lover in a dream, Liang Lianjun wished his eyes could bore into the wood.

Such obsession for beloved objects is hard to understand for those not in the industry.

For example, Su Jie didn't understand; although he found it attractive, he wasn't to the point of infatuation.

However, Su Jie knew one thing: he would be getting more money in his hands.

"Manager Liang, take a look at the other goods as well. There are still four more."

After a few minutes, Su Jie reminded the still-enthralled Liang Lianjun.

"The other trees will definitely not disappoint. Master, bring over the chainsaw... never mind, I'll do it myself, I've never cut such high-quality Pterocarpus santalinus before."

Liang Lianjun, extremely excited, snatched the chainsaw to do it himself.

As the chainsaw buzzed, one after another Pterocarpus santalinus tree was cut open.

And with each cut, sounds of sharp intakes of breath could be heard on the site.

"It's actually the finest among the fish scale patterns, evolved into the Dragon Scale pattern, with clear and powerful textures, full and smooth."

"Is it real? This level of golden star tumor scar pattern is simply perfect, too perfect."

"This one too is..."

Exclamations of surprise rang out in the warehouse.

The group of experts from Leng Baihe Company were like novices who had never seen the world, completely conquered by the various beautiful patterns of the Pterocarpus santalinus.

After all the Pterocarpus santalinus trees had been inspected, Liang Lianjun felt somewhat dizzy, his heart pounding with the huge unexpected surprise, more excited than when he first stayed in a hotel room with his girlfriend.

"So, the goods here haven't disappointed you, Manager Liang, have they?"

Su Jie asked with a smile. Seeing Liang Lianjun so excited, it would be a waste not to make a hefty profit, considering the hardships he went through in the deep mountains and forests.

"Mr. Su, stop joking, how could I be disappointed? I'm more than satisfied with these materials,"

Liang Lianjun managed to calm his excitement and said earnestly, "Mr. Su, what you have here is truly top-notch. We've already weighed them just now, five Pterocarpus santalinus trees together weigh 31 tons and 200 kilograms, and now the market price for Pterocarpus santalinus is between 800,000 to 1.5 million yuan per ton. We at Leng Baihe are willing to pay the highest price for this purchase, that is, 1.5 million yuan per ton for this batch of Pterocarpus santalinus."

31.2×1500000=46800000

Quickly calculating the figures in his mind, Su Jie felt overjoyed, although he managed to remain composed on the outside.

"Manager Liang must be joking, this price really lacks sincerity! Even the cheapest genuine rosewood bead bracelets on Taobao go for over a thousand each, let alone this batch with such exceptional quality."

"Mr. Su, that's not how pricing works. There's loss during the processing of the raw materials, and we have to bear the design and processing costs as well. You can't expect us to pay the retail price to our manufacturing plant, can you?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Liang immediately started to complain, explaining his difficulties.

"It seems like Manager Liang doesn't want to do business with me after all. That's fine, I'll find another buyer. With such high-quality goods, I'm not worried about finding someone to take them off my hands."

Su Jie deliberately put on an unconcerned face, but he could see Liang Lianjun's expression change suddenly.

Indeed, as Su Jie said, there was no worry about selling such premium goods.

Once the news got out, companies from outside would swarm in, and Leng Baihe might not be able to get their hands on this batch of goods anymore.

"No, no, Mr. Su, we at Leng Baihe are very sincere. How about this, you name your price."

Liang Lianjun changed his expression, pleading earnestly.

"I'll set a price then—1,000 yuan per jin. If you agree, we can make the deal right now. If not, I'll look for another buyer."

Su Jie raised a finger, stating his asking price.

This price meant that each ton of rosewood was being valued at 2 million yuan, which was a third more than Liang Lianjun's previous offer.

"That price, it's too much... Mr. Su, we need to discuss the price on our side, please wait a moment."

Originally, Liang Lianjun planned to haggle, but seeing Su Jie's expression and fearing the young man might truly turn and walk away, he refrained and suggested discussing instead.

"Make it fast."

Su Jie nodded, sitting casually on a log of rosewood, looking utterly indifferent, a stance that only further convinced Liang Lianjun to finalize the deal.

The man's attitude indicated he had leverage; if they at Leng Baihe missed this opportunity, there would be no other chances for them.

A group of business elites rushed out of the warehouse for a secret meeting, returning only after more than ten minutes.

Taking the opportunity, Su Jie turned off the video of a young lady dancing on the short video platform and looked across.

"Well, have you reached a decision?"

"Mr. Su, as you said, we at Leng Baihe are willing to purchase this batch of raw materials at a price of 1,000 yuan per jin. Ah, we're not making any profit on this deal; it's mainly about making your acquaintance."

Liang Lianjun wore a look of great loss on his face, but what he was truly thinking inside, no one could tell; after all, a merchant's words are never fully trustworthy.

Although Su Jie had been mentally prepared, hearing the high selling price still made his emotions surge like a pot of boiling water about to overflow with excitement.

This price meant that this batch of rosewood could be sold for a huge sum of 62.4 million yuan, soon making Su Jie a multimillionaire.

"Mr. Su, let's not delay and sign the contract now. We will transfer the money to you immediately. We'll issue the invoice first and then coordinate with finance. Oh and Mr. Su, please remember to pay your taxes."

Liang Lianjun summoned finance and legal to bring out the pre-prepared contract template. In a harsher scenario, they wouldn't even have to issue an invoice, which would even avoid taxes.

After all, once the wood is made into furniture, it becomes almost impossible to trace, and that's why Liang Lianjun didn't inquire about the specific origins of Su Jie's wood; some gray areas are tacitly understood by all.

After reviewing the contracts, Su Jie wasn't afraid of any tricks from the other side.

He was not willing to commit a crime, but that didn't mean he lacked the capability to do so.

If they dared to play word games in the contract, Su Jie wouldn't mind engaging in a real high-stakes game of business warfare with them—yes, the kind that leaves no trace behind.

Signatures were made, stamps were pressed.

Once both parties confirmed everything was correct, Su Jie's shell company also received the payment, and the money entered the company's account.

[Ding! Your Hengyuan Company account 1248 received a transfer of 62,400,000.00 yuan from Leng Baihe Furniture Company on October 23 at 12:21 via Industrial and Commercial Bank. Current account balance is 62,400,419.00 yuan...]

A series of numbers covered up the previously sparse savings, filling Su Jie with euphoria. Even with some taxes to be paid later, this fortune was astonishing.

"Manager Liang, a pleasure doing business."

Su Jie took a deep breath and extended his hand, not showing any sign of weakness at the last moment.

"The pleasure is ours, Mr. Su. If you have any more good stock in the future, please contact me. Our demand for such materials at Leng Baihe is endless."

Liang Lianjun also reached out, satisfied with the deal. He had already perceived there was more to the wood than a simple inheritance and looked forward to more dealings in the future, aiming to secure this major client.

"Sure thing, sure thing, we will do this again next time."

Su Jie responded with a smile, not needing Liang Lianjun's reminder. With such an easy and safe way to make money, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

Today he would effortlessly come into wealth of over sixty million, and with a bit more logging of precious trees, reaching a small financial goal would just be a matter of effort.

He declined Liang Lianjun's invitation for drinks and further discussion and watched as the five logs of rosewood were hoisted onto a truck and left the warehouse, his smile no longer able to be contained.

"Sixty million, oh sixty million, with so much money, how could I possibly spend it all?"

Su Jie kept looking at the bank messages on his phone; the excitement of his sudden wealth was hard to restrain.

After all, the most money he had ever handled was just tens of thousands.

Sixty million was a figure Su Jie never even dared to dream of before his transmigration.

And with this huge sum of money, Su Jie could finally move forward with his plan to use Blue Star resources to assist his cultivation.
