Qin Hongfei didn’t order too much, just two side dishes and a bowl of rice, including braised pork and pickled fish. Then she paid the bill looked at Xia Shangxu and said: “I wanted to go to that noodle stall to eat a bowl of noodles to get some information before coming here to eat. I didn’t expect that you like the white noodle soup so much.”
Xia Shangxu: “……”
What the hell?
He thought she was sensible and afraid of the price and didn’t dare to eat it. Was it a misunderstanding?
He thought she was afraid of being blamed, which was also a misunderstanding.
Looking at the dishes served and Qin Hongfei’s puzzled eyes, Xia Shangxu smiled firmly: “It’s okay, I guessed that you were going to get information. It’s not too unreasonable to order two bowls of noodles and sit for too long, so I just ordered a few more bowls.”
Yes, that’s right, I didn’t misunderstand the intention, and I didn’t think too much.
Qin Hongfei decided not to say it, even though she saw right through it.
When the food came, the braised pork was very appetizing, but when she put it into her mouth with expectation, she chewed it slowly a few times and felt a little disappointed. To be fair, it was cooked well, but it couldn’t be compared with Tang Jinnan’s.
After finishing the meal in a hurry, Qin Hongfei walked around for a long time. She knew everything about the place. She chose an electronic market called Quan Shijing Store and walked in. The store covers an area of more than 200 square meters and is filled with brand-new computers. There were also several staff members in the store to take care of customers.
Qin Hongfei chose a free staff member and asked directly: “Hello, do you sell second-hand computer parts in your store?”
This store does sell them. The staff member hurriedly asked: “Yes, young comrade, what parts do you want, motherboard or…”
Qin Hongfei said, “Motherboard, CPU, memory, I want them all.”
The staff member was stunned. Do they want them all? “Are you second-hand dealers?”
Second-hand dealers refer to those who buy things and then resell them.
Xia Shangxu asked with a smile: “What’s wrong? If so, you won’t do business with us?”
Of course not! I don’t care if you are a second-hand dealer or a third-hand dealer. As long as you are willing to buy, I am willing to sell.
The staff member smiled awkwardly: “Of course not, but I always need to know your needs first…”
Xia Shangxu said frankly: “I run an Internet cafe.”
There was no reason to hide about this.
The staff member understood and asked them to wait.
He quickly went to invite the boss. The boss was surprised when he heard that there was an Internet cafe owner who came to do business, but he wanted to collect second-hand parts.
After coming down the store, his eyes turned between Xia Shangxu and Qin Hongfei, and soon said to Xia Shangxu: “Our store is doing business with brand-new computers. We also have second-hand parts, but not many… You can tell me your needs first.”
Qin Hongfei took out the list that had been listed earlier. It stated the various models of motherboards and memory required, which were all in line with all the current parts. In total, the demand for the same parts was the quantity of X50. It was a big order!
But the boss was not very excited. He said regretfully: “We have second-hand parts, but we don’t have the quantity you need. However, we have motherboards, and CPUs, on your list. We don’t have the others.”
Xia Shangxu frowned and asked: “Your store is not the largest here.”
The boss thought that you had some misunderstanding about the largest store, and smiled bitterly: “Customer, computers are so expensive that most people would not be willing to sell them even if they are broken. The second problem is that even if someone is willing to buy them, we may not be willing to accept them.”
Computers assembled from second-hand parts were bad. The parts recycled by their small shop are generally confirmed to be OK, and the price is relatively low, and the others were used for parts repair.
Qin Hongfei was reminded and secretly said that she made a mistake. Just as the boss said, computers have just been released in this era and are so expensive!
Most people would rather keep them at home than sell them easily, even if it was broken.
