Chapter 28 Chen Che is still an honest and kind person.
A few days later, Chen Che and Xu Zhen were still at their usual spot, on the steps outside the dormitory building, discussing something, when they saw a commotion at the intersection. A dark-skinned, thin figure strode up to them. Who else could it be but Zheng Long?
Zheng Long glared at him angrily and said in a volatile tone, "Chen Che, what the hell do you mean?"
The two exchanged a glance, still somewhat confused. Zheng Long continued, "I just called Sister Lu to order more goods, and she said she won't be shipping to us anymore, and that we should all contact you?"
Chen Che's eyes lit up. Not bad, not bad. Hong Lu is quite efficient. Not only did she not ship the goods, but she also had someone come directly to her, saving him the trouble of making an extra trip to the dormitory building in front.
"Hmph, what, you think you can raise the price just by cutting in line?"
"Let me tell you, Chen Che, even if I, Zheng Long, starve to death today, or jump off the roof of the dormitory building, I will never buy a single dollar's worth of goods from you."
Zheng Long spoke with such certainty and arrogance, looking at Chen Che, but Chen Che remained calm and even stood up to pull him to sit beside him, speaking in a gentle tone.
"Brother, let's not start off on such opposing sides. We're all brothers from all corners of the world, friends, and family."
"We are family!"
Zheng Long frowned: "Who said we're brothers or family? You just want to squeeze some profits out of us, don't you? Do you think I'm stupid enough not to see that?"
Seeing Zheng Long straighten up and about to leave, Chen Che immediately put on a pained expression: "Brother, you misunderstood me. I, Chen Che, have never thought about making money. I'm just here to serve everyone and make friends with you all."
"The price you pay Sister Lu is the same price I pay."
Zheng Long, who had initially looked down on Chen Che with disdain, widened his eyes and looked incredulous upon hearing Chen Che's words.
"What did you say?"
"I said, let's ship it at the original price from Sister Lu's place."
"Moreover, my goods are stored directly at the school, so you don't need to pre-order from Sister Lu and then pick them up at the school gate."
hiss......
Oh, I see. Then again...
Zheng Long was still a little skeptical: "Then what are you doing for nothing?"
Chen Che sighed, putting on a helpless expression: "Sigh, this is all the money I've spent on making friends with everyone."
"I have only one small request."
"From now on, all your transactions in the QQ group will be moved to our 'French Fries at 10 PM' app," Chen Che said with a squinty smile.
Zheng Long's eyes darted around, and he realized, "Good heavens, the true intentions have been revealed! So this is what they were waiting for!"
But Zheng Long was no longer as resistant as he had been back then.
Firstly, the conditions offered by Chen Che were indeed a great convenience for him. After all, the school was large, and it was quite tiring to go to the school gate every time he had to cross mountains and valleys to pick up the goods.
Secondly, when I was chatting with several business owners, one of them had already used this system, and it was indeed much more convenient and faster for them to place orders and manage inventory.
For something to make money, the prerequisite is that it can meet market demand.
Chen Che habitually touched his pocket and realized he didn't have any cigarettes with him. In the civil engineering industry, even if you don't smoke, you should still carry some cigarettes with you, right?
While you're still young and haven't developed a smoking habit, try to avoid it altogether.
Chen Che turned to Xu Zhen and asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"
Xu Zhen nodded.
"Then why don't you hurry up and get one for Brother Zheng?"
"Oh, oh." Xu Zhen quickly took out a pack of Yuxi cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Zheng Long, and skillfully used his hand to shield the flame before deftly lighting the cigarette.
Having satisfied both his pride and his feelings, Zheng Long couldn't say anything more, so he said somewhat shyly, "Brother, I misunderstood you just now."
At first, I was being cynical and judging Chen Che by my own standards; he was actually an honest and kind person.
Chen Che didn't take it to heart and patted Zheng Long's hand familiarly: "Hey, being misunderstood is the inevitable fate of honest people like us. It's good that we've talked it out. The most important thing in life is mutual understanding."
Before long, the two of them were already arm in arm, acting like buddies, and starting to compliment each other.
Brother, which side are you from? Oh, Ganzhou!
Ganzhou is great, we're all fellow countrymen here. Could you please promote our stir-fry dishes nationwide?
Which side are you from? Oh, Suzhou!
Suzhou is wonderful! There's heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Airplanes fly in the sky, and Suzhou is on the ground.
……
Chen Che watched Zheng Long disappear at the intersection with a smile before putting away his professional fake smile.
Xu Zhen scoffed, "His initial arrogance followed by his obsequiousness is laughable."
"People like this deserve to have their profits squeezed out. It's a pity we agreed to sell at the original price." Xu Zhen sighed regretfully.
"Hmph," Chen Che chuckled, "I'm just saying that for now, we'll sell them the goods they normally purchase at the original price. Once we expand our business and purchase more diverse products, we'll set the prices for the other goods."
"Wow, you can do that?" Xu Zhen was stunned; clearly, he hadn't considered this aspect.
"Moreover, when users are deeply integrated into our platform, that's when we'll have the most say." Chen Che revealed a meaningful smile typical of an evil villainous boss.
"Awesome, Mr. Chen, awesome! Want a Yuxi cigarette?" Xu Zhen flattered, offering him a cigarette.
"If you don't smoke, you should smoke less too."
"Did you sell all the snacks?" Chen Che asked.
"It dropped a little, and someone answered the call." Xu Zhen nodded.
"Okay, you should hurry up and look for the other channels we mentioned before, such as the official websites of Weilong and Master Kong, to find the addresses and contact information of regional distributors, and then go and talk to them."
"The three months we agreed on with Sister Lu should be the best window of opportunity. If we miss it, we won't have such a good window of opportunity again to talk to Sister Lu."
"Hmm," Xu Zhen nodded and then shook his head, looking worried. "Junior, I feel that dealing with people is still too difficult. I don't know how I can thicken my skin."
Chen Che chuckled, "Have you had your feet massaged at the Qu Shui Liu Shang?"
"Ah, actually I haven't been there yet." Xu Zhen scratched her head shyly.
"Then I'll grant you a day off to get a foot massage and relax, and improve your skin tone."
"Uh... what's the use of this?"
"Of course, I have one more request."
"We've arranged a technician for you. If you're not satisfied, just say so and ask to change. We'll keep changing until you're satisfied."
"The manager will probably come and ask me if I'm here to cause trouble."
Chen Che shook his head: "This is the service industry. I've paid for your services, so you have to provide them properly."
If the technician is too ugly, you'll feel embarrassed to change her, and afterwards you'll feel the price was too low and you'll be unhappy. Wouldn't that be a waste of money?
Once you get a little thicker-skinned, you'll dare to exchange for something ugly, but after exchanging several times without finding anything satisfactory, you'll feel embarrassed to exchange again. Afterwards, you'll still feel that the cost-effectiveness is too low, and the result is the same.
"And it's even better if the manager comes. Just ask him if he has any young and good-looking girls. If not, just leave. Don't feel guilty at all."
Xu Zhen was dumbfounded: "Is that even possible?"
"So, young man, you still need to train harder."
