Life 1984

Chapter 58 Big Order!
When Li Yunhai left the Lin family, Lin Zhi walked him to the door and comforted him: "Li Yunhai, don't worry, this matter will definitely be resolved satisfactorily."

"I'm not worried. My money is all in the goods and I haven't lost any money."

"Then you still set up a street stall to run your business?"

Li Yunhai pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go back to my hometown. Regarding work matters, whether it's resigning or applying for leave without pay, I have to go back. I can come to Xizhou after I have arranged my family affairs. "

Lin Zhi smiled and asked him: "How much do you sell each of those machines? I can try to help you sell them. Well, you can let me be your agent?"

Li Yunhai thought to himself, these are computers and copiers. Do you think they are stinky tofu?How could it be so easy to sell!
Seeing the eager expectation in Lin Zhi's eyes, he told her the prices of the copier and computer.

Lin Zhi remembered it very well and repeated it: "Five thousand for the computer, fifteen thousand for the copier. The computer can give the introducer a commission of five hundred, and the copier can give the introducer a commission of one thousand eighty? Hey, what if I can help you sell successfully? Now, can I also get a commission?”

Li Yunhai chuckled and said: "Yes, but the commission price must be included in the sales price. In other words, if you want to earn commission, you have to sell the computer for [-] and the copier for [-]."

Lin Zhi tapped her chin lightly with her fingers, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Okay! I know. If I can sell a few more machines, I can become a household worth ten thousand yuan! Hehe!"

Li Yunhai thought to himself, are you still short of money?Your aunt abroad gives you a random bag, which is worth ten thousand dollars.

"Ahem, Miss Lin, you gave me the wrong piece of paper you showed me last time." Li Yunhai said, taking out the piece of paper with the love poem written on it, and handed it back to Lin Zhi, "You copied this The paper for the poem was given to me.”

Lin Zhi took the paper, her pretty face flushed.

No matter how bold she is, she is still just an 18-year-old girl!

Giving him this piece of paper took all the courage she had in her life!

While she was stunned, Li Yunhai turned around and left.

"Idiot!" Lin Zhi stomped her feet lightly and murmured resentfully, "I took the wrong paper, but I took it wrong on purpose! I have a stupid head and am not enlightened! Humph! I deserve not to get a business license!"

She turned back home and said to her mother: "Mom, does your commerce bureau also want to buy computers and copiers?"

Tang Yuxia said: "We have this budget, what's wrong?"

"Mom, buy from me! I'll give you a preferential price!"

"You? When did you start selling office equipment?"

"Hee! I am Li Yunhai's agent now! NEC computers cost RMB [-] each, and Ricoh copiers cost RMB [-] each! They are only one-third of the market price!"

"So cheap? Then how much money can Li Yunhai earn?"

"Mom, this is a trade secret! How many units does your unit need? Hurry up and place an order with me! This is the first order in my life. If you don't do it quickly, I will find my dad!"

Tang Yuxia laughed and said: "I have never seen you forcing customers to place orders like this in my whole life!"

Lin Zhi held her mother's hand and acted coquettishly: "I don't care, aren't you the director? You have the final say in your unit. Mom, how about coming to the Ten Stations as well?"

Tang Yuxia's body was shaken to pieces by her daughter. She reached out and poked her forehead: "You worked so hard to help him with sales. What benefit did he give you?"

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "It's good, but I can't tell you."

Lin Zhenbang finished watching the news broadcast, stood up to go into the study, and suddenly asked: "Xiao Zhi, you just said, how much are computers and copiers?"

"Dad, it's very cheap. NEC's computer costs RMB [-], and a new one costs RMB [-]! A Ricoh copier costs RMB [-], and a new one costs RMB [-]! Li Yunhai said it, and he also provides One-year free warranty service for the entire machine.”

"Oh? How about the machine?"

"I've seen all the machines. [-]% of them are in good condition and have a service life of more than five years!"

"That's not bad!"

"Dad, if you are willing to help him with publicity, then he will make even more money! I also make money, and I am now his agent! For an organization as big as yours, it will take at least ten computers and ten copiers to purchase. That’s enough, isn’t it?”

"Less!" Lin Zhenbang laughed and said, "Our province must respond to the country's call to build a computer center. Our provincial agencies, units, departments and bureaus and above must be equipped with new office equipment. If this is purchased, the quantity will be Big.”

Lin Zhi beamed with joy, let go of her mother's hand, took her father's arm, and said with a smile: "Dad, how many do you want? I have them all here. If you buy more, I can give you a discount."

Lin Zhenbang gently scratched his daughter's nose: "Really? How much discount? Can [-]% off be okay?"

Lin Zhi wiped the bridge of her nose and said, "How can that be possible? Well, if there are more than ten units, each computer will be less than three hundred, and each copier will be less than eight hundred! This is already the best price!"

Lin Zhenbang said calmly: "What if we purchase 100 computers and 20 copiers? Can we sell the computers for [-] and the copiers for [-]?"

Tang Yuxia smiled and said: "Hey, if the price is this, I will make the decision now. I will take your father's ride and purchase 20 computers and 5 copiers!"

Lin Zhenbang asked happily: "Xiao Zhi, how are you? This is a big order! Can you, the agent, make the decision?"

Lin Zhi pursed her lips and said, "How can you bargain like this? I'm your daughter! It's so cheap, how can I make money?"

Lin Zhenbang patted his thigh, stood up and said, "You even want to make money from your parents, why don't you allow us to bargain?"

Lin Zhi turned away: "Mom, do you think this can be the same? When you purchase, the unit pays. What I earn is your unit's money. What you exploit is my profit! It's so cheap, I can't make the decision. "

Lin Zhenbang waved his hand and said, "You can't make the decision, so just ask the boss who can make the decision!" After that, he went into the study.

Lin Zhi looked at the time. It was too late today, so she could only wait until tomorrow to find Li Yunhai.

Lying on the bed, Lin Zhi recalled everything she had known since she met Li Yunhai. Thinking of the scene where the two fell down and hugged each other tonight, she couldn't help but feel sweet and sad.

She couldn't sleep, it was too late and it was difficult to play the piano, so she walked to the desk, turned on the lamp, picked up a pen, and wrote in the notebook.

The next day, when Lin Zhi got up, it was already late and she hurried to work.

After getting off work at noon, Lin Zhi rode to Li Yunhai's shop.

At noon, she was riding a bicycle under the bright sun, and her hair was wet with sweat.

When I arrived at the store, I saw a lock hanging in front of the door.

Lin Zhi thought Li Yunhai was setting up a stall, and was going to find him on May Day when she heard a shout:

"Mei Miao, are you looking for Xiao Li?"

Lin Zhi turned around and saw Sun Huiying.

"Auntie, I'm looking for Li Yunhai! Where are the others?"

"Xiao Li paid me two months' rent today. He said he would go back to his hometown and asked me to help him look after some shops. He didn't tell you? Do you have the key to his shop?"

Lin Zhi did have a key. It was given to Li Yunhai when she first opened a store and went to Huacheng to purchase goods. She said she would help Li Yunhai look after the store for a few days, but she didn't come because her grandfather was sick. The key was kept in her bag and she never returned it. To Li Yunhai.

She took out the key and opened the store door. It was deserted inside, except for the wooden bed and the pile of cold machines.

Lin Zhi couldn't find Li Yunhai and had to leave disappointed.

At this moment, Li Yunhai was sleeping soundly on the long-distance bus to Meishan County.

In this era, there are very few long-distance buses from Xizhou back to Meishan County.There are only a few buses every day, running on the bumpy sandy roads.

The car is also very slow, and it takes more than half a day to travel a hundred kilometers.Passenger car seats are made of wooden boards covered with a layer of sponge. After the seats are damaged, they are filled with straw and continue to be used.

It's such a shabby car, but it's always packed with people.

The aisle in the middle of the bus was filled with all kinds of luggage carried by passengers.

Taking a car in spring and autumn is bearable, but if you take a car in the scorching summer, it will be no less than a journey to hell.

The men, women, and children on the bus were sweating profusely and crowded together like meatloaf clinging to a pot.The sweat ferments under the high temperature and turns into a pungent and unpleasant odor like ammonia, which is suffocating.

The shirtless driver grabbed a blackened towel and wiped it on his body from time to time.

A few old farmers who had no seats simply sat on the cover of the machine, their buttocks being burned by the heat of the hood. Sweat dripped from their faces and dripped down to their chests, soaking a large area of ​​their undershirts.

A few heavy smokers ignored the driver's repeated reprimands, took out their dry cigarette pouches and lit up. A large cloud of thick smoke rose from their mouths, and the choking smell of smoke spread in the car, attracting people from behind. There was a burst of curses from several rural women.

Li Yunhai was lucky enough to sit in a seat near the window. Although his butt hurt, he fell asleep amid the bumps and shaking.

Suddenly, he was awakened by a violent jolt.

Passengers in the car were cursing: "How many years has this road been rotten? It has not been repaired! It is full of potholes and is worse than the roads in our countryside!"

The car was shaking, and most of the people sitting in the car were country people. Some were smoking, and some were coughing violently, holding back a mouthful of thick phlegm, and opened the window to spit out.

Several hawkers had just come from the town to go to the market, and there were a few unsold chickens and ducks placed on their burdens in the aisle. They were squawking non-stop, and the smell of chicken and duck excrement was strong and pungent.

Li Yunhai felt a force push him from behind, and his body bumped forward with inertia.

With a "bang" sound, Li Yunhai pressed his forehead heavily against the back of the seat in front of him, and his eyes were filled with stars.

The car suddenly boiled with complaints and shouts.

It turned out that in order to avoid a scalper crossing the road, the driver braked suddenly. The inertia of the car caused many passengers to fall forward, and some passengers were severely thrown out of their seats.

The bus arrived at Meishan County at around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Yunhai got out of the car.

An old jeep drove past him, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust that flew over his head and face, obscuring the people next to him.

Li Yunhai was already on guard and covered his face with his duffel bag.

He calmly stretched out his hand, touched his face, wiped away a trace of dust on his head, picked up his luggage, walked out of the station, walked along the road, and walked towards the familiar yet unfamiliar Meishan County Machinery Factory.
