In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Looking at Ling Ran's chest, back, and both hands, which were full, Zhou thought, "Ling Ran, how about I carry one? It's quite heavy."
Ling Ran shook his head, "No, that's not the point. It just seems to take up space."
"Then I carry a backpack?"
“No need.”
All right! You're tall, you're strong, you have the final say.
Zhou Xiang continued strolling, shaking his hands.
I finally saw a place selling parasols, but the owner wouldn't let me open it to look at the patterns, saying that the umbrellas wouldn't fit in the windows if I opened them.
"Are you selling umbrellas? If you can't fold an umbrella, what are you selling?"
"Huh? Pretty girl has a bad temper. Okay! You take it apart and I'll fold it slowly."
When Zhou Xiang heard what he said, he knew that he was tired of folding umbrellas every day.
"Okay! Tell me the price first and then we'll open it and look at the pattern."
"Twenty a bunch."
“Is this the wholesale price?”
"retail price."
"You tell me the retail price for this pile of goods we bought?"
"10 yuan."
"Oh! Let's go. I won't take down your umbrella. It will only increase your workload."
"How much did you say?"
"5 bucks, get 10."
"What a bargaining expert! I'll sell it to you."
Zhou Xiang: Sell you!
After seeing the right color, Zhou Xiangcai took them apart and selected 10 umbrellas, which did not add much workload to his boss.
This time, everything promised to Guan Zanli and Zhong Xiong had been done, so Zhou Xiang stopped wandering around and went straight to the back door.
Sure enough, there were dozens of tripods lined up on both sides of the back door road, with tiles held up by nylon ropes on the inclined surfaces.
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran walked closer to check out the patterns, and a young man came over and asked if they wanted to buy bricks.
"I bought it. What else would you do if you didn't buy it? All these are yours." Zhou Xiang pointed to both sides of the road.
"No, I'm looking after someone else. These shelves in front of you are mine," the man said.
Zhou Xiang checked all the tiles and asked, "Are all the patterns here?"
"That's about right! All the popular colors are here."
Trendy? Tiles follow the clothes? Fancy?
"I want something colorful, not something this flowery, and in large quantities."
"Just the floor tiles?" the young man asked.
"We have the most floor tiles. We need bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floor tiles, kitchen tiles, and stair tiles."
"Is this pretty girl's family building a new house?"
"certainly."
"So, do you want a toilet pedestal and a kitchen sink?"
"You have this too?"
"Yes! Most people who buy tiles also buy these. We provide one-stop service!"
“Domestic or imported?”
“They’re all imported.”
"Let's talk about this later! Let me look at the tiles first. Are the ones that haven't been taken out also decorated like this?"
"There are plain ones, but not many."
Zhou Xiang frowned, "So, I only have a choice here?"
The man said, "How much do you want? We can get the goods according to your requirements."
“How many days do I have to wait to get the goods?”
"It will take at least a week!"
In this day and age, this speed is acceptable, but it’s so frustrating to just wait!
"I need at least 30,000 pieces. How much are these 30*30 pieces?"
The young man's eyes lit up when he heard this. "How many? How many do you want?"
"More than 30,000."
"How many floors does your house have? Did you make a mistake in your calculations?"
"Two three-story buildings, each floor is about 500 square meters."
The young man nodded immediately. "Almost, almost. If you buy so much, I'll place an order for you right away. It'll arrive in four days, at most. I'll give you 30 cents for 30*30 pieces."
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "It's too expensive. Tiles are only 10,000 yuan. I might as well save that money and build another floor!"
The young man knew she was trying to bargain, "You tell me how much, I've already stated my asking price."
"Two cents!"
"No way! I brought the goods here for you for nothing."
After some bargaining, the floor tiles came down to 2.20 yuan each. The young man sighed, "You're such a bargainer. I can't beat you. I almost worked for you for nothing."
"Impossible. Besides, with small profits but quick turnover, you can't even manage such a big business in a month."
The young man waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll give you the rest of the bricks for 15 cents each. Don't bargain anymore. I'm tired of talking."
Zhou Xiang thought the young boss was quite funny. "Okay! I won't talk anymore. How much is a toilet?"
"Would you like to buy it together?"
"Of course. Since you have the goods, I can just take them back in one trip and save you the trouble."
“Toilets come in cheap and expensive varieties.”
"Just normal ones are fine."
"The regular ones are the cheap ones, 120."
"Don't tell me it costs thousands, right?"
“Yes, but few people buy them. Everyone buys the cheaper ones.”
"Where's the squat toilet?"
“20.”
"Where are the pedestal sink and kitchen sink?"
"It's all 30."
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "It's too expensive. I need to buy 13 toilets, 8 pedestal basins and kitchen sinks, and two squat toilets. With so many, I can just go to the porcelain factory and get them directly."
"You name a price." The young man shouted weakly.
I was so helpless. I thought it was a big customer, but I met a girl who was so good at bargaining. I was unwilling to not do this business.
Ling Ran turned his head and suppressed his laughter. He felt very sympathetic towards the young boss.
"Ceramic tiles: 4,000 bathroom wall tiles, 2,000 bathroom floor tiles, 500 sets of staircase tiles, 600 stove tiles, 13 toilets, two squat toilets, 8 pedestal basins, 8 kitchen sinks, and all pipes. 10,000 in total. All tiles must be in the same color, and all appliances must be white. If you don't agree, talk to another boss."
