In the fiery year of 1990, Wu Changfeng breaks out of the shell of the times upon his rebirth. 

Looking at his impoverished family, high debts, and his wife who stormed out in anger...

...

Chapter 428 Signing a Contract

Mike remained defiant: "Well... I did come here to stroll around and catch up with an old friend like you."

Wu Changfeng said "Oh," and continued, "Alright, now that we've met with our old friends, let's not crowd around here and delay my business."

“You…” Mike was completely speechless.

I was just being polite, and you're really not giving me any face?

Are you just going to kick people out like that?

Mike touched his nose: "My dear Mr. Wu, you still haven't told us what this thing is called."

"Isn't it obvious?" Wu Changfeng said, "It's a bladeless fan!"

Mike fell into deep thought.

A bladeless fan...

Strange, how can there be wind without fan blades?

But Mike sensed a business opportunity.

This thing is so much fun!

It's bound to be a blockbuster product.

It's important to know that with the arrival of summer, there's an explosive demand from the public for cooling and heat-relieving items.

Things like fans, air conditioners, and ice cubes.

However, people in Europe and the Americas share a common misconception: that air conditioning is bad for their health.

Therefore, the air conditioning industry and installation rate are not very high.

Only office buildings and similar structures have central air conditioning.

The vast majority of residents still rely on fans and ice.

It is foreseeable that this novel cooling device will sell very well simply by attracting attention.

Mike coughed and said, "Hmm, this is interesting."

Wu Changfeng ignored him, wanting to see how long Mike would hold back.

Mike coughed again, "You're going to say something!"

Mike spoke again: "My friend, how much is this for?"

Wu Changfeng said warmly, "Don't worry about money, we're old friends, I'll give you one for free."

“No.” Mike shook his head. “How could I accept your gift for no reason? I mean, how much does a bladeless fan cost?”

"Talking about money with me is too hurtful to our relationship. Come on, I'll give you one. It's a testament to our friendship."

"Wait a minute, tell me the price!"

"You don't do any purchasing, so why should I tell you?"

"So I can't even ask about the price?"

"Didn't I already promise to give you one? Why are we talking about money?"

Wu Changfeng's feigned ignorance infuriated Mike.

Damn it.

Mike felt he had gone too far in showing off.

If we can't procure this, won't the higher-ups be furious with us?

Not to mention Wu Changfeng's stuff.

It's understandable if something is not purchased due to negligence, but Wu Changfeng's situation is different.

These are the top-tier suppliers on the list!

Mike shrugged and said, "Okay, okay. Let's be honest, I have a purchasing assignment, alright?"

Wu Changfeng laughed heartily: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Name your price.

Wu Changfeng held out his hand: "One thousand US dollars."

"Goodbye!" Mike said without another word, then turned and left.

Wu Changfeng quickly stopped him: "No, you're not playing by the rules either, are you?"

Mike said angrily, "Your price is outrageous! Products made in mainland China are always high-quality and inexpensive. How come we're treated like lambs to the slaughter here?"

Wu Changfeng said somewhat seriously, "Those are other people. I am different; I am unique."

“That’s no way you’re asking for a price. Give me a new quote.” Mike continued nonchalantly, “Anyway, I have a reason to report to my superiors that your quote is too high and we can’t make the purchase, and I’m not responsible.”

Wu Changfeng smiled, then said very seriously, "No more joking, it's a flat price of $500."

"200 US dollars."

"480, it's okay if I lose a little money."

"220, I'll let you make a little money."

"Stop negotiating, let's hurry, a globally unified rock-bottom price, 450!"

"No, we won't make a profit."

Wu Changfeng said strangely, "You can't even sell it for five hundred US dollars? Look closely, this is a novel product. Unlike a fan that makes a lot of noise, it's almost silent!"

“260, I’ll buy more,” Mike said.

Wu Changfeng gritted his teeth: "This is the last time, really the last time. Everyone's been very busy. $420, starting at 30,000 units."

Mike touched his nose: "Then don't bother, $410, I want 50,000 units."

"I have a request." Wu Changfeng stopped haggling.

Mike asked, "What request?"

“We’ve collaborated many times, could you make the payment in advance? I need to buy some other things in the US to take back with me.”

Mike hesitated, "This isn't in accordance with regulations; we haven't even received the goods yet. Besides, didn't you make a lot of US dollars?"

Wu Changfeng shrugged: "It's all gone."

"ah?"

Mike was dumbfounded. As far as he knew, Wu Changfeng had at least several hundred million US dollars in that year.

Did they spend all of it?

You probably won't even use it all up when you go to the toilet.

Mike looked at Wu Changfeng with suspicion.

Wu Changfeng said again, "Upgrading the industry will require a significant investment. We urgently need US dollars. How about this: I'll lower the price by another $10, so it'll be $400. Just transfer the payment to me in advance."

“My credibility is there. You know the style of the mainland government. Without absolute trust and strength, it would be impossible for them to let me come. Look at our booth, it's all organized by the government.”

Mike rubbed his face: "Although the price is very favorable, it really is..."

Wu Changfeng pressed his advantage: "We'll sign two contracts, one for $410 and one for $400. Go and consult with the board of directors. Whichever one is adopted, the other will be automatically void."
