Chapter 556: Chapter 555 That’s My Dad!

Ah, the shop owner seemed to have a decent attitude, so it wouldn’t be right to ruin his business now, would it?

"Alright, rest easy, boss," Wang Hao said with a chuckle, patting the shop owner on the arm, "Although you’re selling these tiles cheaply, the sales might still pick up. I’m gonna go back and discuss it with everyone, so wait for my good news."

After finishing his talk with the shop owner, Wang Hao walked back.

When he got back to the group, Wang Hao gathered everyone and said, "I’ve talked to the shop owner, and indeed he can’t do 100 per tile, what with the rent and labor costs being so high. So, what I negotiated was 120 per tile. Of course, if we have more buyers, I reckon he could go even lower. What do you think?"

The group looked at each other. At 120 per tile, that price really wasn’t high.

After all, those able to buy villas in Zhonghai City were not common folk, and many among those present were from families with businesses. They were all too aware of the high cost of labor and land in Zhonghai.

"Brother Hao," Sister Fang, who clearly valued quality, asked softly, "The home is fine, but the key question is, is the quality really good? Didn’t you say it’s just above average? And domestically produced?"

"How else could he offer it so cheap?" Wang Hao winked at Sister Fang, "Actually, the overall quality is still quite good. These tiles are definitely fine for home use, and nowadays domestic products actually have quite good quality, not necessarily worse than imported ones. If you were to buy imported tiles, the lowest would cost over 200 per tile, which is a big difference."

"I think the price is okay," Wen Ge nodded and said, "I liked several of the samples just now. Maybe I’ll just go ahead and order here to save myself the hassle of running around. It’s nearly worn me out, and the ones we’ve looked at previously were not cheap."

Brother Dao also nodded, "Me too, let’s settle on that. Brother Hao was impressive today, the way he slashed the price, I was watching with trepidation!"

Everyone looked at his shiny bald head and wanted to laugh, then Sister Fang teased, "You should be grateful Brother Hao didn’t go bargain in your shop, or I bet you would have ended up crying! The shop owner has held out until now and hasn’t turned us down yet, I think he’s got a good temperament, haha!"

The group burst into laughter.

"You all saw that, right?" Zhou Liyan gave Wang Hao a hearty pat on the shoulder, "Saying my slashing was harsh, Brother Hao here is the real deal! That’s the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, chopping straight down and splitting it in two!"

Yep, the priced was 208, and Wang Hao slashed it to 120 - no one could top that!

Finally, the bargaining was over, and they went to discuss the upcoming orders with the shop owner.

"Boss, among us here," Wang Hao went over and said, "for now, we’ve ordered for four, um, four houses. I’m placing an order too, and there might be more people coming later on, so keep the price the same for them, deal?"

"Eh? That many?" The shop owner was flabbergasted to hear so many orders, "Wasn’t it just one house just now?"

"If so many of us are here and we like it, naturally we’ll order," Wen Ge hummed from the side, "It’s because you wouldn’t offer a discount before. Our community has so many homeowners, how could you lose out? That’s why they say, business must be done with integrity!"

"Right, right, integrity is a must!" With a profit of forty per tile, though it was less than the previously agreed price, the quantity made up for it! With at least four houses ordering on the spot, the shop owner’s smile was so wide he couldn’t keep his mouth closed, "Oh, it seems there was just a misunderstanding before. How about this, I’ll give everyone an extra five off, and in return, you all help spread the word about the great quality of our tiles, how does that sound?"

per tile? That’s reasonable!

Jiang Huanyu also got interested, "I’ll place an order too, there was one style I was quite satisfied with earlier."

One more house added!

"You see how much better this is," Wang Hao said, raising his eyebrows at the shop owner, "A small profit but quick turnover benefits us all. I’ll check it out later and place an order with you too, save some trouble."

"Right, right," the shop owner now looked at Wang Hao with a different gleam in his eyes, "A small profit but quick turnover benefits us all!"

Next came the signing of orders, which of course goes without saying.

Today, a major deal had been done, and everyone was in a great mood. On the way out, Xiao Wen said softly, "Little Hao, where did you learn all this, to bamboozle the shop owner so completely?"

Yep, this little girl, though highly intelligent, had never dealt with renovations before, and now she was quite impressed with Wang Hao’s bargaining skills!

"Wenwen," Wang Hao patted Xiao Wen’s head, smiling, "These things come with life experience, you’re still young and don’t need to worry about such matters yet. Anyway, let’s go, Brother Hao will take you out to eat, hehe!"

Xiao Wen sweetly nodded, "Mhm, okay!"

After entering the underground parking lot, everyone waved goodbye to each other and went home to rest.

Ren Xing drove down the street, laughing as he said, "Brother Hao, since I’ve secured the house, you might as well handle my renovation too. Just let me know how much money it’ll cost."

"You’re really lazy," Wang Hao said, laughing as he heavily patted Ren Xing’s plump shoulder. "Why quote a price? I’ll just take care of it directly. With our relationship, there’s no need to be too precise."

Wang Hao naturally wouldn’t let the massive discount he got on the house go unacknowledged.

The thing with renovation is that it’s tricky to get it right when skimping, but going high-end could cost about two to three million. It’d be just about right to pay back Ren Xing’s favor.

"See, you’re still so distant with me," Ren Xing said with a smile. But having been like brothers in a past life, Ren Xing didn’t take it too seriously. After all, he and Wang Hao had been through life and death together, and such matters were trivial in comparison.

The group was getting ready to go out for a meal when suddenly Jiang Huanyu looked out the window and exclaimed, "Look quick, what’s going on over there? Are they filming?!"

They all turned to look and saw a man running desperately, as if he’d gone mad, with eight or nine people chasing him. Those people were armed with machetes and baseball bats, and even the last one was running while reaching into their coat...

Eh? What’s happening broad daylight, under the heavens?

"This is a big scene," Wang Hao and his friends widened their eyes. "It’s pretty shocking!"

Ren Xing had previously invested in the production of "Domestic Agent," and now hearing about filming, he got even more excited, even whistling, "Go for it, man!"

Usually, when most people come across this kind of situation, they would think it’s just a lively scene from a movie shoot. However, just then, Xiao Wen suddenly screamed, "Stop the car! Stop the car now!"

What’s going on?

Ren Xing slammed on the brakes, nearly smashing his head against the windshield, and asked, "What’s wrong, what’s wrong?"

Xiao Wen flung open the car door and rushed out, "The one being chased, that’s my dad!"

The one being chased is Xiao Wen’s dad?!

Oh crap, this is serious trouble!

Hearing this, Wang Hao immediately opened the door and rushed out!

What does Xiao Wen’s dad do? A narcotics officer! Although her father hadn’t explained in detail before, it was obvious that he must have gone undercover.

Now being chased, it’s clear his cover’s blown!

How ruthless can drug traffickers get? This kind of chase could end in death!

"Wenwen, come back!" Wang Hao rushed over, pulling Xiao Wen back, and urgently said, "Running out there will only cause more chaos!"

"What do we do, what do we do?!" Xiao Wen, frantic with tears in her eyes, clung desperately to Wang Hao’s clothes and said urgently, "If my dad gets caught by those people, he’ll die."

"Don’t worry," Wang Hao reassured Xiao Wen, then shouted to Ren Xing and Jiang Huanyu, "Fatty, Jiangjiang, take care of Wenwen, I’m going in!"

"Holy shit, Brother Hao, those are drug traffickers! Are you sure you can handle it?" Although Ren Xing was normally lazy, it didn’t mean he was stupid. He knew exactly what the situation was now. All drug traffickers lived life on the edge; could Wang Hao really handle it on his own?

"Do you even have to ask? Watch me!" Wang Hao was like lightning as he grabbed an assortment of things from the convenience store behind him, changing as he spoke, "Ever seen a Hollywood blockbuster? Keep your eyes peeled, guys, call the cops, I’m about to give you a Hollywood-level live-action gunfight, cops and robbers, superhero blockbuster!"
