Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 495
A bald man playing cards called out to me, "Who are you looking for?"

I looked at the people inside, but I didn't see anyone who looked like Mr. Qu, so I asked, "Excuse me, is this Dalian Liansheng Trading Company?" These people were very vigilant, and no one answered me.

After a while, the bald man replied: "You are in the wrong place, this is not a company!"

From the corner of my eye, I glanced around the room, and saw a few pennants on the wall, a few certificates of merit, clearly signed by Dalian Liansheng Trading Company.

I smiled and said, "I'm here to pay back the money, isn't it here?"

Having said that, they hesitated a bit. After all, they were paying back the money, not asking for it. One of the thin men looked at me and said to one of the women, "Sister-in-law, why don't you call Brother Qu and ask?" ?”

A coquettish middle-aged woman took out her phone and asked me, "What's your name and what do you do? How much did you borrow?"

I replied honestly: "I'm the owner of a door and window factory over there in Ganjingzi. I pulled a carload of materials from your company the year before last. The total cost was about 20. I planned to pay back the money last year, but the people in your company didn't like it." If you don’t come to ask for money, the person who sold it to me doesn’t know where to go? He doesn’t answer the phone, and I can’t pay it back!”

The woman looked at me suspiciously and asked: "I heard that someone came to ask for the debt these days, but haven't I heard that someone came to pay back the money?"

I smiled and said, "I still want to buy some goods. Your company's goods are cheap, so I want to pay back the money and see if I can buy more?"

The woman was still not very convinced, and asked again: "How much do you plan to enter? Do you have a project yourself?"

I nodded and said: "Yes, Party A specified Tongde profiles, so I thought of your company. This time I have more than 3000 1.5*1.5 windows, 5000 3*1.5 windows, and bay windows. , Balcony, add up to more than 400 tons of cargo, and this is only the first phase."

Now not only the woman was interested, but several other people also became energetic, urging the woman to call quickly.

The woman finally dialed the phone, and said to the other party very gently on the phone: "Husband, there is a door and window factory in Ganjingzi who has come to pay back the money, and there is still a project in hand, and he wants to buy materials from us."

The other party didn't know what to say, the woman asked me: "Which door and window factory are you? What's your name?"

I replied casually: "Huanqian Door and Window Factory, if you say Lao Chen, he will know."

The woman talked for a long time, but she didn't know what she said there. The woman handed me the phone directly. I picked up the phone first, scanned the phone number on the phone, and remembered it firmly in my mind.

I took the phone and gave a hello, and the one on the other end asked aggressively, "Who are you? Why haven't I heard of you?"

I replied unhurriedly: "I haven't heard of you either, it was always a little girl who came to me before."

Mr. Qu said at the other end: "You haven't heard of me. It's normal. That little girl is an employee of our company. I don't know how many times she left throughout the year. She probably has a debt in her hand. I don't even remember it. What do you owe?" How much is our company?"

I asked back: "How much do I owe your company, you ask me? If you don't know, forget it, just pretend I didn't call!"

Mr. Qu said anxiously: "Hey, hey, ah, I remember, 20, right? Just put the money down and just give it to that woman!"

I snorted and said, "I can pay back the money, but what about the IOU? Should I return the IOU?"

Mr. Qu said unhappily: "What kind of IOU is not an IOU? If you haven't paid back the money for so long, you still dare to ask for an IOU. It will be fine if you confiscate your interest!"

I said dissatisfiedly: "Then how do I know, I paid back the money, will you ask me again? No, if I don't see the IOU, I will definitely not pay back the money!"

When Mr. Qu heard this, he said angrily: "Oh, I've given you some shame, right? If you don't pay back the money you owe, you're still justified?"

I said sincerely: "If I don't pay it back, I won't come to you. How about this, I can give you the money. You have to help me buy a batch of goods first, and I will return it to you together!"

Mr. Qu was not a fool, he said unhappily: "You think I'm stupid? The old debt is not cleared, you dare to ask me for goods again, there is no way!"

I said regretfully: "Forget it, I just signed a contract for doors and windows, and I will use 400 tons of goods in the first phase. If you are willing to release the goods, then I will just find another company. Anyway, there are many Tongde agents in Dalian, and I may not necessarily find you. Not because I owe you money, I have already found someone else!"

My words finally touched Mr. Qu, and he was more polite with me on the phone, and said: "Brother, I think you are an honest man, so how about it, you just pay me back 18. You can get this profile from me, and I will give it to you." The lowest price in Dalian, how about it?"

I thought for a while and said, "How about this, you don't have any IOUs, let's make a concession one by one, and when the goods arrive at my construction site, I will pay you immediately, together with the 18 here!"

Mr. Qu thought about it and said: "In this way, you pay half first, and when the money arrives, I will ship it right away!"

Without even thinking about it, I said: "That's no need to talk about it. My request is that the goods arrive at the construction site, and I will pay immediately. Anyway, if I don't pay, you don't have to give me the goods! If you agree, let's talk about the price. If you don't agree pretend I'm not here."

It took a while for Mr. Qu to reluctantly agree, and asked me to return the phone to the woman, and I handed the phone over.

The woman answered the phone, said good, good, good, and then hung up after knowing it.

After that, the smiling face said to me: "Brother, how about this, you leave your phone number and name, write down the specifications you need, I will give you a quotation, and by the way, there is also the delivery address."

I took a blank piece of paper on the table, found a pen, and based on my memory, I barely wrote down the models I knew.

The woman looked at what I wrote, and said in doubt: "What kind of ingredients are you doing? The frame is tall and the fan is not right? Don't you want the plywood? I don't know what Tongde's yield rate is. How much?"

This time really tested me, how can I understand these things?He said vaguely: "Just follow this report first, this is only part of the materials I want, and I still have it in my own library."

Having said that, she finally got away with it, the woman nodded and said, "That's fine, you also have to write down your phone number, name and project name, otherwise how can we deliver the goods?"

I said confidently: "Just quote first. How do I know what price you quoted? I'll consider the next step if the price is right. Now tell you the name of the project, what should you do if you go find it yourself? Of course not!"

The woman probably thought that what I said was reasonable, so she didn't bother, called the bald man over, and discussed with another man, the three of them.
