Chapter 549 Cheap "Castle in the Sky"
Shi Donglei originally thought that they were joking or playing a prank, but when he looked at Yun Xiaowan carefully, he found that there was still mist in her eyes and her little hands were still shaking. It was obvious that she was very nervous. She was not joking, she was serious!
The people in the private room were still looking over here, but they were too embarrassed to look anymore after Zhang Xiaobai rolled his eyes at them. In their hearts, they were secretly jealous of Shi Donglei. If they could encounter such a good thing, they would probably wake up laughing in their dreams, right?
Shi Donglei laughed, shook his head gently and said: "If I were single, I would be very honored to have you take such a young, beautiful and rich girl to support me. That is not an honor that everyone can have. It takes many lifetimes of good deeds to meet such a girl...
But I am already married, and I don’t need a girl to support me. It would be a shame for me.”
He stood up and took out a tissue to wipe Yun Xiaowan's tears, then said with a smile: "My name is Shi Donglei. If we are lucky enough to meet again in the future, I will treat you to a meal!...Okay, go and do your work. I'll go online for a while!"
Yun Xiaowan was pulled away by Zhang Xiaobai, whose eyes also turned red for some reason. She went all the way back to the room behind the counter, and had not yet come to her senses and was still crying.
Zhang Xiaobai sighed, patted Yun Xiaowan on the shoulder and said, "Damn it, I always thought that such a handsome, graceful and talkative man only appeared in novels, but I didn't expect that he also existed in real life!" She immediately cursed angrily, "What a bad guy! If he said something unpleasant and destroyed his image in your mind, would you be fine? But he still did that. If he did that to you, you will probably never forget that guy in your life..."
In fact, Zhang Xiaobai had one more thing she hadn't said, which was that she would never forget what had just happened, and the man in it... He was simply a devil who could seduce women's souls, a monster that had never appeared in the world!
Yun Xiaowan was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Xiaobai, if you can help me get his contact information, I will call you sister from now on, and I will buy you the clothes you liked yesterday."
"Are you crazy? What on earth do you want to do?" Zhang Xiaobai couldn't believe that Yun Xiaowan would say such a thing, but she knew her sister too well. Since she said that, even if she didn't help, she would find someone else to help!
"Well, I think you're done." Zhang Xiaobai knew that it was useless to say anything, so he decided to help her. If she saw that there was no hope, she would give up sooner or later, and then there would naturally be no problem.
Zhang Xiaobai turned on the computer in the room. After that, Yun Xiaowan sat beside her and watched her typing away skillfully. After a while, a dialog box popped up on the screen. It was the YO dialog box for chatting.
"Is this his YO?" Yun Xiaowan was a little excited. She stared at the content of the chat and said in surprise: "Look, look, someone has even asked him to sign a book contract. He's a writer. He's amazing!"
Zhang Xiaobai looked at her sisters with eyes full of stars, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She curled her lips and said, "What's the big deal? Nowadays, there are more people writing novels than reading novels. Among a hundred people writing books, there will always be one person whose book can be published. Didn't you publish a book too?"
"What I have is nothing, just some boring romance. Look at him, the book he is going to publish is a science fiction and suspense book, which is not easy to write... Forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you!" Yun Xiaowan's face was full of smiles. She really didn't expect that she would meet someone with the same hobbies as her, and that this person was so handsome and charming.
Not long after Stoneley joined YO, someone added him. He was too lazy to respond and did not agree. Then someone else added him and said, "I'm the editor. I want to talk to you about signing your book!"
Shi Donglei was a little puzzled. After thinking for a while, he remembered that he had written a novel before, but it did not perform well. Moreover, due to time constraints, he only wrote less than 100,000 words before stopping. Could it be that the other party was talking about that book?
Shi Donglei added this female editor with the online name "Hongyan". He looked at her information and it said that she was 20 years old and from Shengdu.
"Hello, I'm the editor of Jintie Culture. May I ask if you wrote "Castle in the Sky"? " Hongyan spoke first.
Stone Lei replied: Yes, how to sign?
Hongyan: I want to ask you what you want! (a smiley face)
Shi Donglei: I don’t quite understand this. Please tell me what you can give me.
Hongyan was silent for a while and replied: Well, according to our company's practice, the remuneration for new authors is 40 yuan per thousand words, that's it.
Shi Donglei smiled playfully and typed a line of words: Comrade Editor, please stop joking. If this is your condition, I would rather leave this novel there to rot, and it can also moisten the earth. Is it interesting to exchange it for a few dollars?
Hongyan: Haha, you have a pretty bad temper. I asked you to state the conditions but you didn't, and now you're still not satisfied after I've said one. You're really... (cold sweat expression)
Shi Donglei was not very interested in this, so he replied: I am very short on time, so just get to the point. If you keep beating around the bush, I'm sorry!
After a while, Hongyan replied: The highest is 120 yuan per thousand words...
Shi Donglei immediately replied: If you want to sign, I won’t sign for less than 500 yuan per thousand words, and there must be a % royalty.
Hongyan immediately replied: Then you can stay there to ferment manure, goodbye!
Shi Donglei replied her "886" and stopped thinking about it. He went online today mainly to look up some information and browse some web pages. During this time, many people wanted to chat with him, but he ignored them. He used the pen and paper he brought to write down some useful information, and then the time was up, so he went offline.
Shi Donglei came to the front desk, and Yun Xiaowan was already waiting there with a smile on her face. When she saw him coming over, she said sweetly, "Brother, this is your deposit!"
Shi Donglei took the money and was about to leave, but Yun Xiaowan reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and asked embarrassedly: "Brother, can you leave me a contact method? Even if you are married and I have no chance, we can still be friends...Brother..."
Shi Donglei saw that the girl had lost her self-esteem just to ask for her contact information, so he had no reason not to give it to her. He smiled and took a pen from the counter and wrote down his new phone number.
Yun Xiaowan had been staring at Shi Donglei. Seeing him write down the number and leave, she felt so reluctant in her heart. It was such a painful feeling!
Shi Donglei waved to Yun Xiaowan, and she looked at him stupidly, forgetting to wave. Only after he had left did she remember to wave goodbye, shaking her little hands with a crazy look on her face...
Shi Donglei walked out of Blue Romance and looked at the time on his phone. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Feeling a little hungry, Shi Donglei walked along the street. When he came to a small alley, he saw a lot of snack shops there, so he walked in and planned to find a place to eat.
This alley not only has snack bars, but also places like Internet cafes, bookstores, clothing stores and hotels. Almost all the people coming and going here are students, and there are very few people from society.
Shi Donglei looked at the pairs and groups of students of all ages and lamented that students nowadays have begun to focus on dating and forming gangs. No wonder it will become worse in the future!
"Brother, come in and have a meal. Our food here is cheap and of good quality, and the taste is authentic!" A fat man welcomed Shi Donglei into the barbecue restaurant behind him.
The store doesn't look big from the outside, but the space inside is quite large. Business here is very good. All the tables outside are full. The fat man let Stone Lei into the small room inside.
There were only two tables in the hut, one of which was full of people and the other was empty. Stoneley sat at this table and ordered skewers of tendons and kidneys, grilled fish and quail, and two bottles of Snow beer.
The food was served very quickly and was really delicious. The price was not high and the quantity was large. The fat guy was really not kidding!
Stone Lei hadn't had barbecue for a long time. He ate barbecue and drank beer. The room was warm. Although it was a bit noisy, it felt pretty good.
There was a sudden sound of footsteps, a fragrant breeze blew in, and a tall, beautiful woman in a purple suit walked in gracefully.
Although the weather is nice and lush now, it is still not very warm, especially in the early morning and evening, when it is very cold. Shi Donglei was wearing thick clothes when he came in just now, but he still felt very cold.
This beauty has a short skirt that only reaches above her knees, and she only wears thin black stockings on her legs, revealing her flesh, which is very tempting!
When the drunk men at the next table saw such a sexy and beautiful woman, they immediately forgot about the quarrel and stared at the beauty unscrupulously, swallowing their saliva.
"Damn, which school is this girl from? Why have I never seen her before?"
"Haha, if we had seen her, we would have had a lot of fun with her... Wow, this girl has really big tits, and her butt is so nice!"
"What a thin waist, and such fucking beautiful legs..."
“This face, this body, damn…girl, come here!”
One of the four men hooked his finger at the beautiful woman who was sitting opposite Stone Lei, but the beautiful woman glared at him coldly and ignored him.
"Damn it, you dare to glare at me, wait and see how I'm going to deal with you, I'll make you beg for mercy in a while... Hahaha... Ah!" Before the man finished laughing, a porcelain pot of hot water hit him hard on the head, blood and hot water splashed together, and with a crisp sound, the ground was a mess!
"Fuck your little slut, you dare to hit my big brother...ah!" The other man had just cursed when he was punched on the chin by the fat man who walked in and fell to the ground immediately.
"Boss Liu, don't bother with them!" After the fat man said that, he knocked the remaining two heads against each other, picked them up and left. He came back and picked up the other two like chickens. When he came back, he brought the beauty a plate of golden roasted chicken wings with hot sauce and no cumin...
The beauty glanced at Shi Donglei calmly, and then began to eat silently. Her eating posture was very elegant and beautiful. From her behavior, Shi Donglei could tell that Boss Liu had a good background.
Shi Donglei saw many women with good backgrounds, but he didn't care too much and ate his food quietly.
Suddenly, Shi Donglei's foot was stepped on by the heel of a high-heeled shoe. He frowned in pain and looked at the beauty opposite him. The beauty raised her foot and looked at him coldly. It seemed that she was polite!
Shi Donglei was too lazy to pay attention to her and continued to eat his food, but after a while, he stepped on her with his other foot again. He looked up at her, and she glared at him fiercely, and twisted it hard before taking her foot away.
Shi Donglei sneered and kicked her, hitting her cheekbones, causing her face to turn pale immediately. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry!" After that, he paid the bill and left leisurely, not paying any attention to Boss Liu, who was rubbing his calf with his head down and staring at him with murderous eyes.
After Shi Donglei finished his meal, it was already past nine o'clock. He planned to find a place to sleep. There happened to be a small hotel nearby, and a small single room cost 20 yuan. He took a small single room and stayed in it for a while. He felt really bored and didn't want to sleep, so he locked the door and went out for a walk.
There was a bookstore next to the small hotel, so Shi Donglei walked in and browsed for a while. Finding it boring, he went to an Internet cafe across the street as he wanted to play online games.
This Internet cafe is not as big as Blue Love, but the machines inside are also very good, and there are also single rooms. Shi Donglei doesn't like the hustle and bustle, so he asked for a single room.
The single room here is not the single room like the one in Blue Romance, but a single room with two machines. Shi Donglei turned on the machine and played the online game for a while. He lost badly and felt a little depressed. He wanted to smoke, but the cigarettes in his pocket were gone, so he went to the counter and bought a box of osmanthus cigarettes.
When he sat down in his private room and was about to smoke, the door of the private room suddenly opened and a fragrant breeze blew in, which felt particularly familiar. Shi Donglei didn't care. He opened YO and logged into his author background on a famous literary website. He chatted with a few people while writing his novel.
Shi Donglei hadn't written this novel for a while, and had forgotten the plot. He reviewed it for a while before slowly starting to write. But after writing the beginning, he felt that it didn't feel right, so he deleted it and started again, but it still didn't work. He felt a little irritated and had a migraine again. His brain was jumping, and he slammed the table, deleted the manuscript, and lit another cigarette.
Shi Donglei turned on the music, listened to it and smoked to calm himself down and look for inspiration. Suddenly, he felt someone looking at him and heard a cold laugh. He turned around and found that it was the beautiful lady Boss Liu who stepped on him twice and kicked him. She was glaring at him fiercely with a sarcastic smile on her face.
The irritability that Shi Donglei had just calmed down surged up again. He looked at her coldly and turned back to typing. He was in such a bad mood that he could not write anything. After deleting several times in a row, Shi Donglei had the urge to kill someone.
"You are obviously a country bumpkin, so don't pretend to be an intellectual and learn to write novels from others. Do you have the ability to do that? How funny!" Boss Liu spoke with a lot of sarcasm.
Shi Donglei didn't bother to pay attention to her, just turned up the volume of the music and ignored the noise she made. But Boss Liu didn't seem to intend to let him go like this, and suddenly kicked him on the leg and cursed: "You dare to kick me, don't you see who I am..."
All of Boss Liu's remaining words were strangled by Shi Donglei's hand. Shi Donglei took off his headphones, looked at the beautiful woman who was choking like a shrimp, and said coldly: "Don't be a bitch, I don't care who you are, if you step on me, I will kick you, and if you dare to kick me, I will beat you up!"
After saying that, Shi Donglei slapped her twice, loosened his grip, pushed her to sit on the sofa, snorted coldly, and continued to surf the Internet.
Liu Yiyi has never been bullied like this in her life. Just now in the restaurant, he ate her food. She stepped on him twice, and he kicked her. The pain took her a long time to recover, and now there are bruises on her calves.
She met this bastard here and wanted to take revenge, but ended up slapping him twice. Looking at his behavior just now, his eyes were red and he looked like he wanted to kill someone. Could he be right?
Liu Yiyi wiped her tears and covered her burning face. Her calves were still in pain. She stared at the bastard's back fiercely, picked up her cell phone and made a call. She had to vent her anger tonight, otherwise she would not be able to sleep well all night.
Shi Donglei slapped himself twice and felt much better. Listening to soothing music, he finally got some inspiration. This time he wrote slowly for a while and finally had a very good beginning. He went to the counter to get a bottle of drink. When he came back, he found that someone added him, and it was the editor.
However, this time it was not the beauty from before, but a female editor with the nickname "Light Smoke Under the Moon". After thinking about it, Shi Donglei decided to add her.
Shi Donglei thought about it carefully. This novel is just sitting here. It is better to sign a contract to publish it and earn money. Even if it is a small amount of money, it is still a good thing. It is better to get money than to have no money.
After adding, Yuexia Qingyan immediately said: Hello, I am the deputy editor-in-chief of Jintie Culture. Hongyan has just talked to you about the contract. Your condition is 500 yuan per thousand words and % royalties, right?
Shi Donglei thought about it and felt that his book should be worth signing, otherwise why would the deputy editor-in-chief find him again? He thought about it and replied: Originally, I was planning to sign the contract with that condition, but I just talked to a friend who has worked in this industry. He said that my book is suitable for publication and will definitely be a big hit. He thinks the remuneration I mentioned is still too low. 800 yuan per thousand words and % royalties are appropriate!
Yuexia Qingyan was silent for a while, and then said: "Mr. Shi, I won't beat around the bush with you. No matter how well your book is written, we have to spend a lot of money to promote it. Piracy is so rampant now, and the book market is not doing well. Your original conditions are equivalent to the remuneration of a famous author. The remuneration you are talking about now is too unrealistic... Let's put it this way. If you can sign a contract with 600 yuan per thousand words and 20% of the royalties, our company will sign a contract with you. The first volume will be words, and there will be three volumes, upper and lower. We can sign the contract tomorrow! We will pay you as soon as you submit the manuscript.
Shi Donglei thought for a moment and replied: Okay, where should we go to sign the contract tomorrow?
Yuexia Qingyan immediately replied: Where are you now?
Shi Donglei: I'm in Linghe. Yuexia Qingyan: I'm in Linghe too! Then you...it's you, bastard!
Shi Donglei was stunned. What did this mean? He suddenly felt someone was looking at him again. He turned around and saw that Boss Liu was looking at him angrily with tears in her eyes. The YO dialogue window on her monitor was still open. She turned out to be the deputy editor-in-chief of Jintie Culture, Yuexia Qingyan!
After Shi Donglei was stunned, he felt a little ridiculous. Why is this world so narrow? This unexpected surprise was really too unexpected.
Shi Donglei ignored her and turned off YO. He didn't want to play games anymore. Seeing that it was getting late, he simply turned off the computer. Without even looking at Boss Liu who was still glaring at him, he left the room, went to the front desk to check out and left.
As soon as he left, several tall and pretty girls dressed in all black walked into the Internet cafe. The owner of the Internet cafe looked at them and his face suddenly turned ugly. He was worried, but he didn't expect that Boss Liu came out, waved his hand, paid the bill, and left quietly with the girls.
The new network administrator asked the boss curiously: "Boss, who is that beauty? And those girls are so pretty, they look like models!"
The boss glared at him and said, "Who? That beauty is the famous boss Liu in Linghe. She has a great background and no one can afford to offend her. Even big bosses have to be respectful when they see her. Those girls are employees of her company, and they are actually her bodyguards. Don't underestimate them because they are just a few girls and seem weak. In fact, one of them can take on a dozen people like you!"
"Can?"
"Can you? Last time, a dozen idiots from other places said a few dirty words to Boss Liu on the street, and they were beaten up by one of those girls. If the girl hadn't held back, they would have been beaten to death. Do you know how long it took? Less than three minutes!"
The network administrator swallowed his saliva, and the boss glared at him and scolded him, "Stop talking nonsense and go check it out quickly. There's a problem over there again!"
The network administrator rushed to deal with the problem. The boss wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt a little scared when he thought about the scene just now...
Shi Donglei strolled on the street for a while, bought some sunflower seeds and a book, and then returned to the inn. He had just soaked his feet in the hot water provided by the inn when the door was quietly opened and a familiar fragrance blew in his face.
Shi Donglei's feet were still soaking in the basin, his trouser legs were rolled up, and his shirt was off. He was now in a disheveled state. If someone were caught in this state, they would most likely feel uncomfortable and a little embarrassed, but he didn't. He continued to watch TV and only glanced at Boss Liu standing at the door and the several tall and pretty girls who were looking aggressive.
The girl behind Liu Yiyi was eager to try and hit Shi Donglei. No one had ever dared to bully their boss like this. However, Liu Yiyi shook her hand, walked into the room, closed the door, and stood at the door looking down at Shi Donglei.
Originally, Liu Yiyi thought that with her eyes, aura, and momentum, she would be able to scare this guy named Shi. However, her legs were aching from standing, but he was still doing what he was supposed to do as if nothing had happened. He looked as if she, a living person, did not exist at all. This feeling of being ignored made Liu Yiyi so angry that she wanted to kill someone. She wanted to bite this bastard to death!
Shi Donglei finished soaking his feet, washed his socks and hung them on the heater, picked up the basin and went to pour water in his slippers. Liu Yiyi was afraid that the water for washing his feet would stain her clothes, so she avoided him like she was avoiding the plague. However, several girls outside blocked Shi Donglei and prevented him from leaving. They all looked at him viciously and wanted to beat him up.
Shi Donglei put the foot washing water in front of him, shook it and said, "I won't care if it gets dirty!" When the girls saw that the boss didn't say anything, they let him go angrily.
Shi Donglei knew that he had met someone who was not easy to deal with again today. These girls were obviously well-trained, and the background of those who could bring such bodyguards could be imagined.
Shi Donglei wondered whether he should run away secretly now. If he ran now, the most he would lose would be a pair of socks, and only he would know about the people he lost, so it was not a problem.
However, after thinking about it, Shi Donglei returned to his room after pouring the water. Boss Liu and several bodyguards were still there, but they had all gone into the room.
Shi Donglei came back and put down the washbasin, only to find that there was almost no place to stand in the hut. He frowned, put on his shoes, and went to get his clothes, but Boss Liu winked and the door was blocked by a girl. He didn't get his clothes either as someone was blocking his way there, too.
"What do you want to do? If you have something to say, just say it quickly. If you have nothing to say, either you leave or I leave. I can't afford to waste time with you." Shi Donglei pushed a girl away and sat on the edge of the bed. Boss Liu sat next to him.
The girl looked at Shi Donglei angrily, with some fear in her eyes. She found that this boy was actually quite skilled and seemed no worse than her.
Liu Yiyi frowned, moved to the side, took out a stack of papers from the small bag she carried with her, threw it in front of Shi Donglei, and said, "Contract, sign it quickly, I don't have time to play with you!"
Shi Donglei was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this woman came to him for this matter. He picked up the contract and looked through it. Finding there was no problem, he signed with the pen thrown to him by Boss Liu.
"Identity card!" Liu Yiyi looked at the contract, signed it, stamped it, threw a copy to Shi Donglei, and said indifferently.
Shi Donglei pointed at the clothes covering a girl on the ground. The girl turned around to look for his wallet, took out her ID card and left the room. After a while, she came back with a copy of her ID card and handed it to Liu Yiyi. She then put the ID card back into Shi Donglei's wallet which only had a few hundred dollars in it.
Liu Yiyi handed Shi Donglei another file package and said, "You still have half of your manuscript to finish. Hurry up and finish it within three days, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"
After saying that, Liu Yiyi snorted coldly, threw down an exquisite purple business card with a scent, and left with a few girls.
Shi Donglei closed the door and opened the briefcase. Inside was a new notebook, a famous brand, worth at least eighteen thousand.
Shi Donglei opened his notebook and started writing. Thinking that he would be paid 600 yuan per thousand words after finishing writing, a total of 12 yuan, and this did not include future royalties, this was a good start for him to start over again!
The notebook had a very high configuration. Stimulated by the money, Shi Donglei's inspiration surged. He typed at a crazy speed, writing frantically at a rate of more than 200 words per minute. He wrote from ten o'clock in the evening to four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, and finally ended the battle.
Shi Donglei stretched, went out to wash his face and brush his teeth, came back and put on his socks, and without eating, he called Liu Yiyi.
The person who answered the phone was not Liu Yiyi, but her assistant. When she heard that he had finished writing the manuscript, she asked him to bring the manuscript to Jintie Culture's office in Linghe.
Shi Donglei memorized the address, found an Internet cafe to download the manuscript he had written before, made it into a complete file, and took a taxi to Linghe Hotel, where the office of Jintie Culture was located.
Shi Donglei came to Room 1118 of Linghe Hotel. When he knocked on the door, a girl opened it and said with a smile, "Mr. Shi, please come in!"
Shi Donglei nodded and followed her into the spacious office with modern decoration. There were many people working in the office, most of them were young. He and the girl walked into the editor-in-chief's office and knocked on the door. A pleasant "Come in" came from inside.
The girl opened the door and said in a soft voice, "Editor-in-chief, Mr. Shi is here!" Then she let Shi Donglei in and went out and closed the door.
Boss Liu was dressed very formally today, with her hair tied up in a high bun, wearing a delicate and elegant necklace and earrings, a black uniform suit, black stockings, and black leather boots, a typical white-collar worker!
"Please sit down." Liu Yiyi was reviewing manuscripts with a pair of black-framed glasses. When she saw Shi Donglei walk in, she just glanced at him indifferently.
Shi Donglei sat down on the sofa next to the office door, looking at the office boredly, thinking it was quite elegant. For a long time, Liu Yiyi didn't say anything, leaving Shi Donglei there, putting on headphones and listening to music while working, feeling very comfortable.
Shi Donglei sat there for half an hour. Seeing that Liu Yiyi had no intention of moving, he opened his notebook, reached out and deleted the novel, closed the notebook, stood up and left.
When Liu Yiyi saw him about to leave, she stopped him and asked, "Where's your manuscript?" Shi Donglei said calmly, "I just deleted it!"
Liu Yiyi just saw him fiddling with his notebook, and she didn't expect that Shi Donglei would do this. But she was a little skeptical. This guy looked like a pauper, staying in such a cheap hotel, without a single valuable piece of clothing, and even less money in his wallet. How could he be willing to give up such a large sum of money?
Liu Yiyi sneered and said, "Do you really dare to delete it?" She looked at Shi Donglei with contempt.
Shi Donglei said disdainfully: "Liu Yiyi, remember this, don't think that just because you have a few bucks, a little power and background, everyone in the world will bow down to you. I deleted the novel, is it your business?"
Seeing that he had reached the door, Liu Yiyi stood up and said, "How can I interfere? You have already signed the contract. If you don't hand in the manuscript..."
"What can you do if I don't hand in the manuscript? You didn't give me a penny! The contract hasn't come into effect yet!" After saying this, Shi Donglei opened the door and strode out, slamming the door shut. He left under the surprised gazes of many office staff.
When Shi Donglei walked out of the hotel lobby, he breathed in the fresh air outside, let out a long breath, took a taxi and went to the Heishui Road Clothing Market.
As soon as Shi Donglei left, Liu Yiyi looked at the notebook and found that it was really empty. She was so angry that she really wanted to smash this broken notebook and kill the bastard who had beaten her twice and made her crazy!
However, she thought about the fact that the bastard's novel was specifically requested by the editor-in-chief, and based on her many years of publishing experience, this novel would definitely be a big seller, but now...
Liu Yiyi stamped her feet angrily and called her bodyguards to find Shi Donglei as soon as possible. After giving the order, she muttered for a long time before she calmed down again, but she was still somewhat distracted when working.
Shi Donglei didn't know that such a drama would happen after he left. He took a taxi directly to the largest Heishui Road clothing market in Linghe, and walked around inside, preparing to buy some seasonal clothes for his sister and parents.
Stone Lei strolled around for a long time and didn't see any clothes he liked. However, he found that the clothes here were very cheap, especially wholesale. The prices here are now almost half of those in town, and some are even more than half.
Shi Donglei was thinking about getting some clothes to sell at the market when he returned. He still had more than 10,000 yuan in his card, which was enough!
Thinking of this, Shi Donglei felt that he was a real failure. Other people were whining after their rebirth, but he was just making a lot of noise. How cowardly.
It has to be a cowardly thing, but Stoney doesn't want to walk on a tightrope like he did before he was injured. He might fall down and be smashed to pieces at any time. He thinks it's better to make money in a down-to-earth way.
"Brother, come in and have a look. I have the best and newest foreign trade goods from the south. The goods are good and the price is low. If you want to wholesale, the price is even more affordable! Brother, you are..."
Shi Donglei waved his hand, interrupting the young shopkeeper and said, "I own a shop and want to buy in bulk. How many of these do you have? How much do you want in bulk?"
The young shop owner was delighted when he heard what Shi Donglei said. Seeing that Shi Donglei had an extraordinary demeanor, he said, "Brother, I won't lie to you. I'm going to transfer this shop, and I'm almost done with all these things... Well, brother, if you can clear the inventory, I'll give you the lowest price, as long as I don't lose money, I'll give you everything!"
"How many things do you have? I need to see the goods first." Shi Donglei had dabbled in the clothing industry before and had even thought about opening a clothing store, but later... he didn't do it.
"Okay, big brother, I'll take you to have a look at the warehouse in the back. There are a lot of goods, and the quality is guaranteed to be good. These are the goods that I planned to sell myself before. Don't look at them as leftovers and clearance goods, but they are all very good." The young boss asked the clerk to look after the store, and he took Shi Donglei to the warehouse not far away.
Arriving at the warehouse, the young boss pointed to a warehouse full of clothes and said, "Brother, here are all the clothes, including T-shirts, jeans, skirts, suspenders, underwear, shorts and other clothes. They are all seasonal clothes. Brother, take a look at the goods first, and then we can talk about other things!"
Shi Donglei had the same idea, so he and his boss looked through all kinds of clothing in stock in the small warehouse. He found that the clothing here was indeed of very good quality and the styles were not old. Some were even very novel and looked very fashionable. Girls would definitely like them.
"Brother, how is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?" The young boss wiped the sweat from moving the goods and said to Shi Donglei with some breathlessness.
"Very good, buddy, just tell me the price!" Stoney already knew the quantity of clothing here from the young boss's introduction just now. He had already decided to take the goods, and now the key issue was the price.
The young boss could tell that Shi Donglei really wanted to buy. He was very serious when he looked at the goods. He was also anxious to make a move, so he said, "Brother, I just told you that something happened at home. I will transfer this store soon. I will sell all the stocks as soon as they are almost gone... Let's put it this way. The goods here, except for underwear, are 8 yuan per piece regardless of size. There are not many underwears, and they are all brand names. A set costs 20 yuan. In fact, I bought it at 30 yuan... Well, the total is !"
Shi Donglei thought the price was really affordable, but he was clearing out his stock and the other party was in a hurry, so there should be room for a price reduction. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, I'm not going to play tricks with you. You can see that I really want to buy the goods. The underwear is 10 yuan per set, and the other items are 4 yuan per piece on average!"
The young boss was about to speak when Shi Donglei said, "Brother, to be honest, I have done this before, and I know the price very well. These goods are very cheap when imported from the south, and you cleared out the goods regardless of whether they were good or bad. There are quite a few inferior goods in them, but you didn't let me see them. The price I gave you, in addition to the shipping fee, you will still have some profit, which is definitely not enough. If you think it's a loss, I don't want it, and you can find the next person who is willing to clear out the goods and recover the funds for you!"
The young boss frowned, thought again and again, gritted his teeth and said with a bitter smile: "Brother, you are really scheming. I thought you didn't understand it just now, but after all this time you turned out to be an expert...Okay, that's it. I didn't lose anything, but I didn't make any profit either. For us businessmen, not making any profit is actually equivalent to losing money. But there is no way, who made us anxious, so we will give them all to you...By the way, there are dozens of sets of clothes in the store in front, all of them are good. Twenty-one sets will be made for you as a bonus. What do you think, brother?"
Shi Donglei nodded immediately this time and said with a smile: "Okay, brother, you are straightforward and kind, let's do it!" However, he thought of the insufficient money in his pocket, so he said: "It's like this, brother, I don't have enough money in my pocket, only a little over 10,000, I can only take a batch of goods back first, and I will take the rest of the goods back within three days. How about you keep the goods for me?"
The young boss said without hesitation: "No problem, no problem. Who would go out with 60,000 or 70,000? I'll keep some for you. Just go ahead and buy some... But I definitely can't let you pick just one. If I do, I'll lose money!"
