Sail across the sea

Chapter 7 This sentence is honest

"This classmate really has a good eye!" Chen Xingquan's compliments came as soon as he opened his mouth, and then he began to fool around:

"This is a new product launched by our factory last month, the plastic pencil case, which is specially designed for primary and middle school students.

"Look, there is a loop for inserting pens in this bag, and several pens will not touch each other when inserted. The side of the bag is transparent. When you take this bag during the exam, the teacher can tell at a glance that you have not carried pens. cheat sheet.

"Also, look at the picture printed on this bag, how beautiful it is. We specially invited a master craftsman to draw this picture. He won an award at the National Art Competition..."

"Going off topic, Boss Chen." Gao Fan interrupted Chen Xingquan's slobber with a smile, and said, "Our classmate just wanted to ask you how much this pencil case costs. Right, Chun..., uh, Huang Monitor?"

Gao Fan slipped his lips and almost called the girl by her name like in later generations.He didn't feel right when the words came to his lips, so he temporarily changed his official title in class.Huang Chunyan is the monitor of Class [-], Grade [-], and Fang Rui is the secretary of the Youth League branch. When students of the opposite sex occasionally want to address each other, they use their title instead of their name, which saves the embarrassment of calling each other by their first name.

When Huang Chunyan heard Gao Fan asking questions for her, she gave Gao Fan a thankful look, then looked at Chen Xingquan, waiting for the other party's quotation.

When Chen Xingquan put the pile of plastic products on the table just now, Huang Chunyan immediately took a fancy to this pencil case.As Chen Xingquan said, the design of this pencil case is really unique, and the appearance is also very good-looking.Women are easily moved by their appearance, even the female high school students in this era.As soon as Huang Chunyan saw this pencil case, she had an urge to own one, so she asked Fang Rui and Gao Fan before they could speak.

Huang Chunyan has a tin pencil case, but it is inconvenient to carry a pencil case when taking formal exams.The teacher will ask to open the pencil case to check whether there is entrainment, and the table of ninety-nine multiplication formulas printed on the pencil case can be regarded as a kind of entrainment according to the strict requirements... In case you can’t recite the multiplication formula, you want to get it from the pencil case What about copying?
The college entrance examination is coming soon, and the requirements of the college entrance examination are more stringent. Maybe I really need a pencil case with a transparent window.

Well, in fact, this reason was just made up by Huang Chunyan to convince herself, she just simply likes this plastic bag with a high value.

"Are all of you going to buy it?"

Chen Xingquan did not directly answer Huang Chunyan's words, but turned to look at Fang Rui and Gao Fan. At the same time, he reached out and took out several pencil cases from the bag. One is printed on the main battle tank with five pairs of wheels, which is obviously aimed at attracting boys.

"If all three of you want it, I'll only charge you [-] cents each." Chen Xingquan said.

"Ah? Three people want it, and eighty cents more!" Huang Chunyan asked dissatisfiedly, her eyes widened.

Chen Xingquan said: "That's right, this kind of pencil case is very troublesome to make. I usually sell it for one yuan and two for one. If you only want one, you have to ask for at least one yuan."

This is a moral kidnapping. If the two boys still have a little bit of compassion, they should agree to form a group with Huang Chunyan and negotiate the price.However, eighty cents for a pencil case is really not cheap. Fang Rui thought to himself that he was not being taken advantage of, so why would he be willing to buy it.He turned his head to Gao Fan, wanting to reach an offensive and defensive alliance with Gao Fan.If Gao Fan also expressed his reluctance to buy it, then it wasn't because he didn't give Huang Chunyan face, and he didn't have any psychological pressure.

"How much cheaper can you get if we buy four?"

Before Gao Fan could respond to Fang Rui's hint, Zhang Wei, who came over at some point, rushed to speak.There was something exciting to watch here, so he applied to Wen Xiaojian to come and have a look.Of course, Wen Xiaojian couldn't really put him under house arrest, so he told him "don't be fooled" and let him come here.

Zhang Wei also thought the pencil case that Chen Xingquan took out was very beautiful, but he was reluctant to spend seventy or eighty cents to buy one.However, Huang Chunyan clearly showed that he wanted it, and Chen Xingquan claimed that if he bought more, he could give a lower price. Of course, Zhang Wei had to show it.

This is the self-cultivation of a licking dog.

"Four..." Chen Xingquan was taken aback. He glanced at everyone and saw that Fang Rui and Gao Fan were not interested, so he said, "If you want four, I'll sell them at a loss, seventy cents each, how about it?" ?”

"It's too expensive..."

Huang Chunyan put the pencil case back directly.Her family is an ordinary working family, not rich enough for her to spend [-] cents on a pencil case.It's not that her family can't afford [-] cents, but she feels that she just wants to buy this pencil case because she likes the appearance of it, and spending [-] cents for it seems too extravagant.

"It's still expensive..." Chen Xingquan muttered, seeing that Huang Chunyan seemed to be burying his head to read the book again, he asked, "Then, classmate, how much do you think is suitable?"

"...I can't say how much it is. Otherwise, I still don't want it." Huang Chunyan said dully.

People say that it usually sells for one yuan and two, and the lowest price is seventy cents. How far can she bargain?Even if there is a discount at the waist, when it comes to [-] cents each, she still thinks it is a bit expensive, and she will feel guilty of wasting money if she buys it.As for talking about less than [-] cents, she couldn't open her mouth.

Having said that, the loss in her eyes couldn't be concealed.

This pencil case is really pretty...

"Boss Chen, tell me the truth. Just this pencil case, your production cost is no more than ten cents, right?"

Gao Fan spoke up.He didn't want to get involved in this matter at first, but Huang Chunyan's eyes made him feel a little unbearable.This is not to say that he wants to compete with Zhang Wei for the dog licking position, but that in his previous life he believed in the dogma that a man should protect a girl as his duty, especially when the girl is still beautiful.

"Cost? At least fifty cents." Chen Xingquan replied.He wanted to say a higher number, but he was afraid of going too far, so he said a relatively low number.

"Fifty cents?" Gao Fan chuckled, "Boss Chen, you must be honest when doing business. Let me do the math with you. Is your pencil case made of polyvinyl chloride? Soft polyvinyl chloride costs 4000 yuan per ton." Money, a catty is 2 yuan. Your pencil case, half double, can cost more than [-] cents?"

"Uh..." Chen Xingquan became dumb all of a sudden, and it took a while to recover, and retorted: "You just calculated the price of polyvinyl chloride, and we still need to process and print it. This is polyvinyl chloride, isn't it Paper, to print these paintings on, you need to use very advanced equipment..."

"No way, do you dare to say that this is not silk screen printing, how advanced can silk screen printing be?" Gao Fan asked Chen Xingquan, holding a pencil case and shaking it.

"Screen printing must be silk screen printing..." Chen Xingquan was defeated. The child in front of him knew a lot, so it was not easy to be fooled.

In fact, it is not a secret about the price of polyvinyl chloride and knowledge about silk screen printing, and many people in Renqiao know it.But who else cares about that.Chen Xingquan traveled all over the world to sell plastic products in the past two years, but he didn't meet a few knowledgeable people, and they were all fooled by him.

But the half-grown child in front of him was able to speak out all this knowledge, how could Chen Xingquan not be surprised.

"Silk screen printing is different from silk screen printing." Chen Xingquan said bravely, "However, printing on polyvinyl chloride is very troublesome and requires special pigments, which are very expensive."

"Yeah, what you said is quite honest." Gao Fan nodded his approval.

Chen Xingquan heaved a sigh of relief, got off the donkey and said, "Well, actually, the material used for this pencil case is really not that expensive. Your classmate is quite right. It is very troublesome to print on it. This pencil case is expensive. , that’s what’s more expensive.”

Unexpectedly, Gao Fan smiled slightly and said, "Boss Chen, how about we start a business? I will teach you a paint recipe, and you will give us four for free..., no, five such bags, I guarantee you It won't hurt."
