Chapter 1136: Chapter 580: 5 Money Counting Machines - High-Tech Office_2

Old Zhao took the opportunity to size up the young man while he was examining his small shop – and he couldn’t make heads or tails of him!

The young man stood there neither haughty nor humble, dressed in clothes that didn’t bear the currently popular brands. If he hadn’t said anything, Old Zhao himself wouldn’t have guessed that he was also a boss.

Thinking this to himself, Old Zhao had already started to introduce him, "This side features branded goods. With the same configuration, the price is a bit higher, but it’s much more stable. After all, when we configure it ourselves, sometimes even we don’t know which part might fail. Off-brand quality definitely can’t compare to branded, you’ve got to understand that. You could also write your own configuration. Mornings are slow, why not sit down, have a cup of tea, and I’ll explain slowly..."

The young man was easy to talk to, "No hurry, no hurry. I also know a bit about this, why don’t you first write me a higher spec configuration? Let me see if it works?"

Old Zhao had already started boiling water and casually picked up a pen and paper from the table beside him as he came over, "Sure, anything’s fine. The tea will take a moment, what’s in the kettle is from last night, this pot doesn’t keep heat, probably cooled down already. Just right, I’ll write up a configuration for you to check out now."

Doing this kind of work was second nature to Old Zhao; he wrote as he introduced. Seeing that the young man really did understand some of it, he wrote even faster. It took only three to five minutes to complete a computer configuration from the motherboard to the memory sticks.

Once the young man reviewed his writing and checked the prices listed behind him, he was straightforward, "This configuration seems good. Can you tell me the price for those brands? I’d like to consider them?"

Two minutes later, the young man picked a brand name computer and said, "This one then. I’ll use this one for accounting, and I’ll take that other one back to the company to let everyone learn. Nowadays, if you don’t learn this, it’s easy to fall behind. Oh, and can we still negotiate the price? What if I want five brand name computers and also five custom-built ones?"

Old Zhao was taken aback; he really hadn’t expected such a big client so early in the morning, and he almost forgot to speak Mandarin, "Yes, yes, yes, definitely can be cheaper. I’ll also install the current accounting software and include everything that can be included. Don’t worry about it."

Without waiting for the young man to bargain, he dropped the price himself.

The young man did not appear to be the bargaining type. Feeling that the quoted price was roughly fine, he said, "Then, could you deliver? I live not far from here, just behind this place, less than a thousand meters."

Old Zhao quickly agreed, "No problem at all! You’re practically a neighbor, so you can rest assured even more. If there’s any issue, just come find me or give me a call. Do you want the goods now? I don’t have enough stock here, need to arrange some from elsewhere..."

The young man nodded, "I’m free in a bit, you can start preparing now! Also, do you sell money counters here? That brand...what was it? If you have them, could you get me a few? Let’s take five, in case any break."

Xu Xiaoyan was prudent with money, buying only three money counters, each of different brands. Yan Fei observed them using it and mentioned that one brand seemed better. Now remembering this, he planned to buy a few more for backup.

Old Zhao then started running upstairs and downstairs, collecting various components from different stores, bustling around and quickly breaking into a sweat.

Luckily, two more young men soon arrived to lend a hand, making the work much easier.

Once everything was ready, Old Zhao arranged for one of the young volunteers to find a vehicle while he, writing the invoice, asked, "If you don’t mind my asking, young man, what kind of business do you run? Needing so many computers at once doesn’t look like it’s for personal use. Should I write a bit more on this invoice?"

As he spoke, he felt a twinge of shame for his ’bending over backwards for a bit of profit’ attitude. There was no help for it; business was tough!

The young man just laughed, "You shouldn’t ask that way; you should have outright asked how much needs to be written on the invoice. Probing too deeply might be awkward if I really wanted more written, wouldn’t it?"

Old Zhao blushed, rethinking his words, and realized it was indeed so.

Such matters should definitely not be too overt; asking someone’s business in such detail clearly showed ’inexperience’. If the client had indeed wanted more on the invoice, his question might have endangered the deal.

He had been in business for more than a day or two; at this moment, he was merely embarrassed for a moment and then joked with self-mockery, "It seems everything needs learning, and I indeed need to learn more."

The young man laughed heartily, "If you master this art, maybe you’d lose a few clients like me. My small company is down there, not in Provincial City. Just write the actual amount on the invoice; it really is for my own use."

"Impressive. It’s hard to tell at your young age that you started a business on your own," Old Zhao remarked admiringly. "How should I write the heading on the invoice? Write it down for me, so it doesn’t go to waste in case of a misspelling."

Once the young man had written it, Old Zhao was truly surprised, "Morning Glory Animal Husbandry Company? What do you do? It’s rare for young people to go into farming or husbandry these days... "

"I’m a cattle farmer!"

The cattle farmer who was buying ten computers at once was naturally Yan Fei. He had taken home his father, who was so drunk the night before that he couldn’t walk straight, and seeing his mother’s stern expression and ready posture, he uncharitably left his father and beat a hasty retreat.
