Chapter 37 Qian Hongli's Choice
Lu Yiming said: "I just want that configuration , but it doesn't have to be original. A new machine will definitely cost more than this price, but what if it is a second-hand refurbished one?"
Qian Hongli's expression froze for a moment, and then he was puzzled: "What do you mean? Are you sure you want to buy a refurbished phone?"
Lu Yiming nodded without hesitation: "Yes, not only do I buy a refurbished machine, but I don't need an optical drive or hard drive, and the CPU and motherboard don't have to be branded. I guarantee the quality and it just needs to be able to play games."
Qian Hongli quickly calculated in his mind that if he really wanted to meet this requirement, the price was not too outrageous and it was worth doing.
However, he was still very confused: "These machines you made don't even have hard drives, and the internal configuration is also International brand. Can you sell them?"
Qian Hongli thought that Lu Yiming came to him to purchase goods.
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "This is my business secret. I just want to ask you, do you want to take this order?"
"Answer it, why not?"
These days, the bold will die of overeating while the timid will die of starvation. The more off-road you go, the faster you can make money. Qian Hongli was just shocked by Lu Yiming's purchasing volume, but it didn't mean that he didn't dare to do this kind of business.
He rummaged around in his shop for a while and then pulled out a calculator.
Return to zero.
"Come, let me calculate it for you. Six hundred units, right? That's two million four hundred thousand."
Two million and four hundred thousand was definitely a big deal in 1998.
Lu Yiming didn't care and approved Qian Hongli's offer: "Well, the price is reasonable. You can get the mouse, keyboard, data cable and other accessories. Just decide for yourself. As long as it works, I'll give you 2.5 million... This number doesn't sound good, 2.49 million."
Qian Hongli was held back by another 10,000 yuan for no reason. He grumbled unhappily, "Why not 2.51 million?"
Lu Yiming ignored his complaints and continued, "Let's follow the old rules and start counting from the delivery of the last machine. The payment period is three months. Is that ok?"
Qian Hongli: “…”
Seeing Qian Hongli's expression change, Lu Yiming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Why? Are you afraid that I can't pay back the money?"
Qian Hongli said bluntly: "Nonsense, it's more than two million. How can I not worry? And are we familiar with each other? Who told you the old rules?"
The reason why Lu Yiming agreed to let her have the computer for a month was that Lu Yiming could install the system, and it would be reasonable for him to work to pay off the debt. How about these two million? How long will it take to pay off the system?
The most important thing is that Qian Hongli is afraid that his capital chain will be broken, which would be the end of him.
Lu Yiming covered his chest with a sad and angry expression: "You make me very hurt, you know? I thought we were already friends."
Qian Hongli: “…”
Why are there such shameless people in this world?
It simply refreshed his understanding of the limits of human species diversity!
Lu Yiming patted Qian Hongli's shoulder, shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect that given our friendship, you wouldn't even help with this little favor."
Qian Hongli squinted at Lu Yiming and said, "Is this a small favor? Do you have any misunderstanding about this term?"
Lu Yiming searched his body for a while, took out the gold card he had just applied for at Standard Chartered Bank, and a property certificate, and said to Qian Hongli: "It's not that I don't have money, but it takes time to turn over funds. We are all businessmen, you should understand, right? You know this, right? The gold card of Standard Chartered Bank, mine, the money I deposited in it, is all in US dollars. You should understand this, right?"
"Is this really yours?"
Qian Hongli clearly saw that the property certificate showed three hundred thousand dollars, but deep down he still couldn't believe it.
Lu Yiming took out his cell phone and made a call without saying anything: "I'll call the person in charge of Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong for you. You can ask him."
After calling to confirm, Qian Hongli suddenly felt depressed. He had worked hard for most of his life, but his assets were less than two million. He was actually outshined by a high school student. He felt a little embarrassed.
Now that it has been confirmed that Lu Yiming really has this money, and it is a hard currency for international trade such as the US dollar, this business is so tempting that Qian Hongli really doesn't want to miss it.
Qian Hongli wasn't the only one selling computers in this computer city. If he didn't agree, Lu Yiming could just find someone else. But if Qian Hongli missed this order, he might not be able to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner this year.
However, after all, this was an order worth more than two million yuan, and Qian Hongli was hesitant and conflicted.
If Lu Yiming runs away, it won’t be a question of whether the New Year’s Eve dinner is delicious or not. At that time, it will even be a question of where to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Qian Hongli took a deep puff of his cigarette. In the smoke, he squinted his eyes slightly. After a long while, he said quietly, "I need to think about this deal again."
More than two million in payment for goods is equivalent to putting all his fortune on the line. Of course, it is impossible for Qian Hongli to gamble his life just because of Lu Yiming's few words.
Lu Yiming pretended to be heartbroken and said, "Although you are unkind, I cannot be unjust. How about this, for the sake of our friendship, I will give you two days to think about it. OK? Remember, no more waiting after the deadline."
Qian Hongli: “…”
Are all young people nowadays so arrogant?
Lu Yiming turned and left, and Li Yiwen and Li Quanwang quickly followed.
After leaving the mall, Li Quanwang asked, "What's this money boss? Will you really be fooled?"
When Lu Yiming heard this, he immediately became unhappy: "What do you mean by being fooled? It makes me feel like I'm being defrauded."
Li Yiwen exposed Lu Yiming's true colors on the spot: "Why are you pretending to be so rude to me? Others may not know what happened to your $300,000 worth of assets, but don't I know? You want to make a profit with just one cent of capital. Isn't this a lie?"
Li Quanwang obviously thought so too, but he was worried about whether Lu Yiming could succeed in fooling him: "You said you would give the boss two days, but what if he still isn't interested after two days?"
Lu Yiming smiled calmly: "Then I will help him to be moved."
Li Yiwen didn't think Lu Yiming could do it. "He must be a smart guy to be so successful in the computer city. How could he believe you so easily? If he really doesn't want to be tempted, what will you do?"
Compared to the two people's worries and doubts, Lu Yiming was full of confidence, because he knew that Lao Qian would definitely be tempted, and as long as the profit was big enough, the fish would always take the bait.
What's more, Lu Yiming knew Lao Qian's character very well. Although he was greedy and timid on weekdays, once he had the opportunity to get rich overnight, he would definitely be willing to give it a try.
