I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 93: We will take care of those who need to be taken care of, and we will bargain with those who need to bargain.

Fang Qingye drove to the Haitangchun Restaurant on Xicun Road at six o'clock and met Zhang Bin in a small private room.

He was surprised to find that the skinny and small boy in his memory had grown tall now. There was a girl next to him. She was not pretty, but her eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness.

"Fang Qingye, please sit down." Zhang Bin greeted her warmly and introduced the girl next to her.

"This is my girlfriend, Liu Xue."

"Hello." Fang Qingye was sitting next to him.

"Fang Qingye, I heard from my classmates that you have become the bank president?" Zhang Bin asked.

"No, it's the assistant to the president." Fang Qingye told the truth.

"That's right, President," Zhang Bin said immediately with a smile. "I want to congratulate you today. Let's have a couple of drinks."

"No, no, absolutely not." Fang Qingye felt dizzy when he heard about drinking.

"To be honest, I had a few drinks with my friends yesterday and I'm still recovering. We're classmates, so let's not be so particular about these things. If you really want to drink, this business won't work."

Hearing Fang Qingye say this, Zhang Bin immediately looked at his girlfriend, then smiled and said:

"Then let's do as you said. We won't drink today. When you're well again, we can drink. Is it okay to have some drinks?"

In fact, Fang Qingye was not interested in drinks. At most, he would just drink the tea offered by the hotel, but the other party was very enthusiastic and it was difficult to refuse, so he agreed.

The dishes were served and the three of them ate and chatted.

Fang Qingye asked, "Zhang Bin, what have you been busy with these past few years?"

"I'm just busy with nothing. You know I wasn't a good student in school. After graduating from junior high school, I didn't get into high school, so I went to a vocational school in our county to study computer science. After graduation, I worked as a network administrator in an internet cafe, and then went to Jinghai to work as a technician in a computer store. After two years, I felt it was boring and saved some money, so I came back to open a store selling computers. I didn't expect to meet you before I officially opened the store. I'm really lucky."

After hearing what Zhang Bin said, Fang Qingye smiled slightly and said nothing.

"Fang Qingye, although my store hasn't officially opened yet, all the paperwork has been completed. The business license and tax registration certificate are both complete!" Zhang Bin continued, "Liu Xue, take them out and let Fang Qingye see them."

After hearing this, Liu Xue immediately took out two notebooks from her bag and handed them to Fang Qingye.

It's a copy.

Fang Qingye looked at it carefully and was really worried that Zhang Bin was fooling him.

"I've already found a storefront, and it's in the process of being renovated. I'll take you to see it after dinner."

Fang Qingye nodded.

"As for the price, it's absolutely fantastic. You said you wanted to assemble a computer. I don't know what you're planning to do, but such a large quantity is usually used in internet cafes. I've made three different models based on the mainstream configurations of current internet cafe computers. Take a look."

Liu Xue took out a few more pages of paper from her bag, and Fang Qingye took them and looked at them carefully.

It is indeed the mainstream configuration of computers in Internet cafes today. The CPUs include AMD Athlon64 X2 4600+ and Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2180 processors, and the prices range from 2800 yuan to 3200 yuan.

There are also prices for computer desks and routers, which are basically transparent.

Fang Qingye has already seen the quotations from several computer companies. The configurations are similar and the prices are not much different.

"Zhang Bin, is your price any lower? You know I need a lot of it." Fang Qingye said.

Although we are classmates, we are all doing business and we should bargain without hesitation.

"Which configuration do you like?" Zhang Bin asked.

Fang Qingye pointed at the AMD Athlon64 X2 4600+ and said, "This is the one!" Zhang Bin pondered for a moment and said, "Old classmate, you're my first customer. How about this? I'll give you 100 yuan less for this one! How about it?"

Another 100 yuan less?
Fang Qingye looked at it carefully again, and found that each machine cost 2960 yuan.

This configuration quote is not the lowest. Fang Qingye remembers that a computer store with the same configuration quoted only 2900 yuan.

"I'll buy it for 2900 yuan." Fang Qingye said bluntly: "I went to several companies today, and one offered a price lower than 2900 yuan, but we are old classmates, so it's better to take care of our own people than others. If you agree, let's sign the contract immediately and start work tomorrow."

2900 yuan.
That machine can really only make 300 yuan!

This Fang Qingye is really ruthless in lowering the price.

Moreover, this also requires that you get the lowest price from the wholesalers in Jinghai Computer City! Otherwise, you won't make much money from a computer, and with the one-year warranty, you might even lose money on your hard work!
Zhang Bin was a little undecided. He looked at Liu Xue again and saw his girlfriend nodded silently. So he gritted his teeth and said, "2900 is 2900. I'll do this deal even if it means losing money!"

deficit?
You will definitely not lose money, you will just earn less.

"Okay, I'll go to your store after dinner." Fang Qingye said.

"Yes, yes." Zhang Bin said immediately.

After dinner, Fang Qingye drove the car, and Zhang Bin rode an electric scooter. They took their girlfriend to Changle Road in the rain and opened the steel rolling door of a shop.

"Fang Qingye, look, this is our storefront. We just rented it and it hasn't been renovated yet, so it's still a mess inside." Zhang Bin turned on the light and said to Fang Qingye.

It was indeed a mess, but the warehouse at the back was already filled with computer parts.

"This is the first batch of goods we received, and I haven't had time to assemble them yet," Zhang Bin explained.

"You didn't hire any technicians? Can you handle this alone?" Fang Qingye asked, "I want everything completed within 10 days!"

"Besides me, there's also Liu Xue. She was my classmate at vocational school and also studied computers." Zhang Bin quickly explained:
"Don't worry about that. If we're short of manpower, I'll find someone! There will be absolutely no delays. And don't worry about the quality of the project. We're classmates, and I definitely won't cheat you."

"Okay, then, sign the contract." Fang Qingye didn't say anything more.

Zhang Bin was overjoyed when he heard this. Before he could say anything, Liu Xue pulled out a document from her bag and said, "Zhang Bin, please chat with Fang Qingye. I'll revise the contract according to what we discussed during dinner."

"There's no rush. Tomorrow morning is fine." Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"It's okay, it'll be quick." Liu Xue said hurriedly, "Zhang Bin, isn't there a cafe nearby? Can you accompany Fang Qingye to sit there?"

"Come on, it's too chaotic here, let's go there and talk." Zhang Bin quickly invited.

Fang Qingye smiled secretly.

This is because I am worried that I will regret it later.

Not really.

But we have to understand the other party's feelings, so Fang Qingye said: "That's okay, I won't drink the coffee, just here."

Half an hour later, Liu Xue finished revising the contract and printed out a copy. Fang Qingye looked through it carefully and found no problems. Then they made two copies. After they signed their names, Zhang Bin also put the official seal of his computer store on it: "Feixiang Computer Technology Company".

"I'll transfer half of the fee to your account when I get back," Fang Qingye said.

He also realized that the other party might be very short on cash flow as they had just opened their store. Although the contract stipulated that the payment should be received within three days after signing the contract, he decided to pay early.

"Okay, okay, that's great!" Zhang Bin was very happy.
