On the third day, Sister Hua finally appeared again in the courtyard of the Baoliushu Township Government. Gao Jiajia was about to step out to greet her, but was shot a glare by Qin Chizian and sat back down.
Sister Hua knocked on the door, and Qin Chizian signaled Zhu Degang to open it.
Sister Hua wore a warm smile on her face. "Brother Xiao Qin, are you busy?"
Gao Jiajia received a phone call: "Director Qin, Secretary Wan wants the two of us to go over there for a bit."
Before Qin Chizian could respond, Sister Hua quickly said, "You go ahead, I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for you!"
Gao Jiajia pulled Qin Chizian to a corner and said, "Secretary didn't look for us... I just want to know what she means by this?"
Qin Chizian: "She's coming to ask for our goods!"
Gao Jiajia: "I don't believe it. Isn't she supposed to collect them herself? Sanmao's prices will definitely sell."
Qin Chizian: "How much did your paternal uncle collect for us?"
Gao Jiajia: "With the additional part later, it's over 100,000 catties."
Qin Chizian: "Do you remember I said we were going to dominate the market?"
Gao Jiajia still looked confused: "Just tell me straight, my mind is a bit muddled right now."
Qin Chizian said, "To monopolize means to gather all the goods in my hands. To put it simply, it's a monopoly. Now do you understand? Only by doing this can we completely control the market direction.
Now, all the goods with decent quality in the entire village are in our hands. The villagers have goods, but she doesn't find them appealing. Some are selling for three cents a pound, but that only works if the villagers have goods to sell!"
Gao Jiajia realized and felt a sense of dread: "So does that mean if we hadn't hoarded so much this time, we would have suffered a huge loss?"
Qin Chizian: "Almost, by that time, unless we go and develop new business channels, either the goods will be stuck in our hands, or the price will have to be determined by her."
Gao Jiajia looked at Qin Chizian with starry eyes: " brother Qin, you're amazing. I'll listen to you from now on!"
The two returned to the office, and Sister Hua was indeed waiting obediently. When she saw Qin Chizian come in, she asked, "Xiao Qin brother, Xiao Gao sister, are you done with your work?"
Gao Jiajia ignored her, Qin Chizian continued to organize the materials on the table and said, " Manager Hua, if you're not busy with receiving goods, why did you come here? It seems like there's nothing I can help you with here."
Sister Hua smiled and said, "You go ahead and be busy. I'll be waiting for you both at the restaurant where we last had dinner. The food there is quite good. After work, we must go and sit there and chat slowly. We must go, no excuses!" Then she left without saying anything else.
Zhu Degang asked, "Xiao Qin, what does she do?"
Gao Jiajia: "Collecting walnuts."
Zhu Degang: "Are there really people who want that kind of walnuts?"
...
After work, Qin Chizian and Gao Jiajia lingered in the office on purpose, until Sister Hua ran back and called out, "Brother, sister, are you ready? The food is getting cold..." Only then did the two reluctantly follow Sister Hua out.
In the private room of the restaurant, Sister Hua first took out a watch from her bag: "Sister, I bought this at the department store when I came last time. I forgot to give it to you. Try it on and see if you like it." Without waiting for a response, she put it on Gao Jiajia's wrist.
Then she pulled out a pack of "Double Happiness" cigarettes from her bag and gave them to Qin Chizian: "I brought this specially for you. It's the cigarettes from Huacheng. My husband always gives these as gifts."
Seeing the two people hesitating, Sister Hua became anxious. "I've traveled such a long way; is it too much to bring some gifts for my younger siblings?"
This woman’s acting skills were no less impressive than those of a professional actor.
Qin Chizian gestured to Gao Jiajia. "Since Manager Hua has brought gifts, let's accept them. Later, we can pick out some local specialties from Baliushu to give to Manager Hua as well. It wouldn’t be fair for her to come all this way for nothing."
Again to Sister Hua: "Manager Hua, have the goods been received well these days? You need to be more vigilant. Our Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce Deputy Director Jia's father has introduced another Customer to me, and they will be coming in the next few days."
Gao Jiajia looks delighted: "Brother Qin, you are so reliable in your work. How come you didn't mention such a big matter to me?"
However, Sister Hua's expression changes drastically: "Brother, a few days ago, I acted without careful consideration... Your goods were originally prepared for me. How could you give them to someone else?"
These days I've been thinking a lot too. In business, it's not just about making money, it's also about relationships and keeping your word, right? Even though it's just a verbal agreement, we still need to honor our promises! And about what we discussed before, how much you have, I'll take the same amount? It's just... can we adjust the price a little bit? After all, you're only getting 20 cents per pound, right?
Qin Chizian looked innocent and said, "Manager Hua, you don't need to take care of me specially. You can just take your 30 cents per pound. The customer introduced to me by Mr. Jia agreed to pay me 1.5 yuan each, because the quantity is large and the count is inconvenient, and there's also some Chenpi that hasn't been processed. So, I'll give him a discount and sell it to him for 10 yuan per pound. He should be here in three to five days. To prevent his goods from competing with yours, I suggest that you sell your goods at the Huacheng store as soon as you receive them! Just because you're still thinking of bringing us gifts from so far away, I have to think for Manager Hua..."
Sister Hua couldn't hold back anymore: "Brother, is this okay? I want all the goods from your place, at the price you just mentioned, 10 yuan per kilogram! Help me arrange for a big truck, I'll cover the shipping cost, and have them deliver directly to Huacheng. I'll go with the truck!"
Qin Chizian was in a dilemma: " Manager Hua, last time you said you would handle it yourself, and I already promised someone else. Anyway, it's all about making money. I don't have a problem here, but it's not easy with Mr. Jia. We still have to do business with his son's company!"
Sister Hua resorted to being unreasonable: "Brother, can you bear to see me make a wasted trip and let him take the goods to dominate the market? My whole year will be ruined!"
Saying that there were no tears, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a piece of paper. Then she turned to Gao Jiajia and said, "Sister, it was my fault the other day. Help me persuade brother Qin. You said it was 100,000 catties, totaling 1 million yuan. I'll have them wire the money tomorrow!"
Looking at the pitiful look Sister Hua put on, Gao Jiajia felt a pang of sympathy and said, "brother Qin, let's give our goods to Sister Hua. Since the other Customer hasn't arrived yet, it wouldn't be too much for us to do this!"
Sister Hua asked worriedly, "Can you handle such a large order? Don't hurt yourself again." Sister Hua relaxed when Gao Jiajia explained the situation, "I've contacted colleagues in several southern provinces to share this batch of goods. We sell by weight here, and take turns to sell when shipping out..." Then she realized she had said too much, stopped, and lowered her head to pick at her food, trying to cover up.
Qin Chizian: The fire is almost ready, so I'll make a concession: "I'll call Mr. Jia tomorrow and tell him not to let that person come again. Even if he does, there won't be any goods. Sigh, that old man will definitely scold me for being untrustworthy!"
Sister Hua: "Brother, the night is long and full of dreams. Call now, use my cell phone..."
