Return to '93: Family Split at the Start, the Ungrateful Ones Cried Tears of Regret

Wang Peng has been reborn. He has returned to the day when his father forced him to give his college admission notice to his younger brother and dropped out of school to work and support his brothe...

Chapter 170 Tobacco and Alcohol Bidding

A tobacco and alcohol business worth over 30,000 yuan could be put out to public tender.

However, Wang Peng found it funny and felt that Zhou Shun was unreliable.

Bulk purchases of expensive cigarettes and alcohol are not exactly commonplace, and in an effort to save money, he even resorted to open bidding.

Wang Peng forced a laugh and said, "You mean, I can also submit a bid?"

"Of course, if your offer is suitable, we will accept it, however..."

Zhou Shun patted him on the shoulder, "I reckon you'll have a hard time winning, but Mao Zi's general agent in the provincial capital might be a possibility."

The general agent for Maozi is Dong Zheng, and his son is Dong Lin.

Wang Peng shook his head. "It seems that Maozi has a rule that provincial general agents cannot participate in the bidding."

"Oh? That's a good thing."

Zhou Shun said, "Then your chance has come. Go back and prepare your bid. Do you know how to write it?"

Wang Peng shook his head, "I've never actually submitted a bid before."

"Go find your professor and ask him to help you. He has the tender documents."

After Zhou Shun finished speaking, he left with his hands behind his back.

The professor in the economics and management major was named Wu Xinyuan. When Wang Peng found him, he was reading the People's Daily.

"Hello, Teacher Wu, my name is Wang Peng." Wang Peng greeted him.

He looked up at Wang Peng, handed him a document first, and then handed him a booklet.

The document is the tender document, and the booklet is on how to write a tender.

"Take this back and study it, then write a proposal for me tomorrow."

Wu Xinfang continued reading the newspaper with his head down and directly told him to leave.

"Thank you, teacher." Wang Peng took the documents back to his dormitory.

The list includes thirty cartons of Lotus Leaf brand cigarettes and thirty boxes of Maozi (a type of Chinese liquor).

There were ten more boxes of thatch than last time.

The unit price for cigarettes is 95 yuan, and the unit price for turbans is 1,200 yuan.

The total cost is 38,850 yuan.

"Goodness, isn't that a huge statement?"

Wang Peng was a little confused. Putting aside whether he could win the bid, he wondered how much money he could make.

The current problem is whether we have the capital to stock up on inventory.

Looking at the tender document again, the payment date is cash on delivery, which means there will be no outstanding payments.

Wang Peng scratched his head. If they didn't delay payment, the competition would be even fiercer, and the suppliers would retaliate.

"It's difficult, it's too difficult."

"Hey Lao Liu, what are you muttering about? Can't a man get any sleep?" Zhao Long sat up in bed.

"Damn, sorry." Wang Peng didn't notice him in the dormitory.

Zhao Long threw back the covers, put on his shoes, and got out of bed. "I forgive you. What are you muttering about?"

"Take a look for yourself." Wang Peng handed him the tender documents.

Zhao Long glanced at it casually for a few moments, then his interest was piqued, and finally his eyes widened.

"Sixth Brother, this batch of goods is worth twenty or thirty thousand, right? Do you want to participate in the bidding?"

He immediately put his arm around Wang Peng's shoulder and said, "Sixth Brother, do you need anyone else at your shop? I'll work for you."

"I don't need people, I need money." Wang Peng held out his hand. "I don't have money to stock up on goods. Can you lend me 20,000 yuan first?"

"Nonsense, if I had 20,000 yuan, I'd make you work for me."

Zhao Long took out two yuan coins and smiled, "I have two yuan, do you want some?"

"Get lost, don't make fun of me." Wang Peng packed up his documents and prepared to leave.

Zhao Long grabbed him. "Sixth Brother, do you believe me if I say I can write a bid proposal?"

"I don't believe you unless you write it down for me." Wang Peng looked down at him.

"You look down on me, don't you?" Zhao Long didn't waste any words. He picked up the tender documents, sat down, and took out a pen to start writing.

"Brother Long, are you serious?"

Wang Peng quickly patted him on the shoulder, "Take your time writing, I'll go buy you a Coke."

I was just worrying about how to write the bid proposal, but I never expected that there would be so many talented people in the dormitory.

He went downstairs, leisurely walked to the school supermarket, and bought a case of Coca-Cola.

They ran into Li Mingzhu and Dong Shishi, who were holding hands as they walked into the supermarket.

"Cokes, please." Wang Peng handed them drinks and casually asked, "What did you buy?"

"I'm hungry, let's buy some snacks," Dong Shishi said.

"Brother Peng, wait a minute, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch together," Li Mingzhu said.

Since the start of the semester, Wang Peng has never eaten in the cafeteria.

I glanced at my watch; it was almost noon. I decided to go to the cafeteria to get lunch for Zhao Long.

Li Mingzhu bought two packs of biscuits, and Dong Shishi bought a bottle of chili sauce.

The three arrived at the cafeteria, and Wang Peng found a seat.

"Boss, what would you like to eat? I'll get you some food," Dong Shishi said.

Before Wang Peng could speak, Li Mingzhu said, "I know what he likes to eat, let's go."

A few minutes later, the two men came over carrying three plates.

Li Mingzhu prepared a dish of green vegetables and tofu, radish and chili peppers, and a serving of braised pork for Wang Peng.

"You really understand my taste." Wang Peng gave her a thumbs up.

Halfway through his meal, Zhao Long leisurely walked into the cafeteria. When he saw Wang Peng, he immediately waved and greeted him.

Wang Peng waved to him, "Hey bro, come here and have a Coke."

His voice was quite loud, and the students all looked at him.

"Alright!" Zhao Long shouted even louder as he scurried off to get his food.

A moment later, he came over with a tray and said, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hello, please sit down and eat," Li Mingzhu said.

Wang Peng looked at his plate; it contained three of the cheapest vegetable dishes, with not a single piece of meat in them.

"Brother Long, this won't do."

Wang Peng immediately picked out a few pieces of braised pork for him and gave him two bottles of cola.

"Sixth Brother, look what this is!"

Zhao Long took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said with a smile, "The bid is ready. Please take a look, boss."

"Damn, that was fast!" Wang Peng put it in his pocket. "Let's eat first, then we'll watch it."

The cafeteria was chaotic, and he had no interest in reading the tender documents.

Zhao Long finished the meat in a few bites and started eating vegetables, occasionally stealing glances at Wang Peng's braised pork.

Li Mingzhu got up and went to the food counter to get two more servings of braised pork.

"Brother Long, have some more meat."

She placed one serving of braised pork in front of Zhao Long and another in front of Dong Shishi.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Zhao Long's nose tingled, and he quickly lowered his head.

"Mingzhu, thank you." Dong Shishi was also very touched.

"Don't be shy, everyone, eat up," Li Mingzhu said with a smile.

Wang Peng smiled. His girlfriend was becoming more and more like a virtuous wife; she was playing the winning-hearts game beautifully.

After finishing their meal, Li Mingzhu and Dong Shishi cleared away the dishes.

Wang Peng took out the tender documents and couldn't help but complain, "Brother Long, I have to say, your handwriting is really ugly."

"Hehe." Zhao Long scratched his head. "Don't worry about the details, just look at the content."

Li Mingzhu and Dong Shishi are back.

Zhao Long immediately boasted, "My problem is my handwriting. If I could write well, I would have been admitted to Tsinghua University long ago."

"Goodness, you're just bragging without thinking, aren't you?"

Wang Peng shook his head and squinted at the tender document he had written.

After reading it from beginning to end, he laughed and said, "Well written. I didn't know you had this kind of talent."

“Of course, I’ve done my research on it.” Zhao Long’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Brother, are we going to submit a bid?" Li Mingzhu asked in a low voice.

Wang Peng nodded, and Zhao Long quickly handed her the tender documents.

Li Mingzhu read it from beginning to end, then frowned slightly. "Brother, do we have that much money?"
