Qin Hongfei frowned and thought that she had neglected it. There were many second-hand stores in the future, but there were not so many in this era. However, she soon calmed down. Few does not mean none.
“Boss, do you know which other stores sell second-hand parts on this street?” she asked.
“Quite a few…” the Boss said very honestly: “Why, are you planning to run over there? There are many, but the locations are not in the same place. It will take a lot of time for you to run all the stores, and you may not be able to collect all the parts. Secondly, the second-hand parts collected by those stores may not be sold, but if you want to know, I can write the address to you.”
“Then I’ll trouble you.” Qin Hongfei thanked them.
The Boss went to find a piece of paper and wrote down the address for her.
Xia Shangxu sighed: “This boss is a good person.”
Qin Hongfei nodded: yes.
When the Boss came back, the address was also written down. There were more than 20 stores in total, which was not a small number.
After writing down the address, they talked about the parts.
There were four motherboards, and there were more memory sticks, five or six, and the other parts were scattered.
Qin Hongfei checked it and it was all right. The Boss didn’t cheat people by selling inferior products. They were good ones.
After confirming that the goods were fine, Xia Shangxu asked about the price.
The Boss said sincerely: “These second-hand parts are rarely bought, so it doesn’t matter if they are sold. As for the price, after all, they are not brand new, so I will give you a discount. So, the motherboard is sold to you for 1,800 yuan, and the memory stick is 600 yuan each. The price of brand-new ones in my store is 2,500 yuan and 900 yuan, but after all, they are second-hand, so they must be cheaper. You can ask around. The prices in the stores here are not cheaper than mine. By the way, from your accent, you are also from Qinhuai Street, my brother-in-law is from there… We are all from my hometown, and I can’t cheat you.”
Qin Hongfei looked up, and Xia Shangxu winked at her, signaling her not to speak. The cousin’s niece was too simple and had never seen the world. She didn’t know that this was a businessman’s strategy. He smiled on the surface, but how dirty he was in his heart!
Xia Shangxu himself was a businessman, so he would not believe this nonsense.
Sincerity was useless. When doing business, talking about benefits was the most realistic. Those who smile the brightest are often the most deceptive.
“Boss, let’s be honest. What’s the lowest price?”
“… This is the lowest price. I didn’t make much money.” The boss smiled bitterly with sincerity. “I spent 1,600 and 500 when I bought it. I have to make some money.”
“Haha, boss, I’ve also done business. Let’s not use this empty trick. What’s the lowest price? Give me a price. You see, you are also a smart person. Doing business is a long-term way, not a one-time business. Don’t you think so?” Xia Shangxu smiled brilliantly.
“I’m just buying parts first. I also have to buy monitors later…”
When the boss heard that he wanted to buy new monitors, he hesitated for a moment: and said with a painful look: “So, my cost price is 1,600! The memory stick is 500, which adds up to 9,400. I will round off the decimals and not make any profit from you. 9,000 is the lowest.”
Xia Shangxu put down the tea regretfully: “How about this, let me and my niece go for a walk first…”
The Boss smiled bitterly and stopped him: “No, Mr. Xia, this is the lowest price. If you sell it again, you won’t make any profit. How about this, just treat it as making friends, 1,300, no lower, no more business.”
1,300, 400.
It was lower than before!
Sure enough, he smiled on the surface, but he was very dark in his heart!
What a profiteer!
He praised his wit, saving 400 yuan each, which saved a lot of money. When he was about to agree.
Qin Hongfei’s voice sounded, “Boss, 800 and 300! 4 motherboards, plus 6 memory sticks, a total of 5,000. Will you sell it or not?”
