"Okay, this hundred dollars will be your deposit, and I'll pay you the balance after the deal is done."

"Ms. Liu, you are indeed a straightforward person." Li Chao stuffed the money into his pocket without hesitation. "I will definitely help you get things done beautifully. Just wait for my good news."

[Hehe, if I don't admit the 700 after the matter is done, what can you do to me? ]

Liu Mei muttered something in her heart, but there was no difference in her expression.

"Then I'll trouble you."

“It’s just what each of us needs.”

Afterwards, the two of them chatted about some irrelevant topics with their own ulterior motives, and then left the restaurant.

At this time, Xiang Baiwei was discussing with Chi Kunli how to get the peeling equipment (such as apple peeling).

"I heard that Boss Qian is the only one in the city who has this machine for sale. Do you think we can get it? Also, the price shouldn't be cheap, right?"

Chi Kunli looked at Xiang Baiwei with some concern.

Her concern was not whether the funds could be taken out. After all, she was the one who managed the accounts. She knew the operating income of the two workshops and the cash currently on hand. The key was whether others were willing to sell to them.

"There must be a lot of people who want that machine." Xiang Baiwei's face was very calm. She said while washing the small green vegetables in her hands, "So we have to act first. It's best to let Boss Qian sign the sales contract as soon as possible."

"Do you have an idea?" Chi Kunli slapped her head, "Are you really going to attend the dinner?"

Speaking of this, Chi Kunli looked unhappy.

A few days ago, they contacted Boss Qian for the first time. Before they could explain their purpose, he flatly rejected them, saying that the machine had been reserved.

Since it has been booked, Xiang Baiwei can only give up.

But as soon as she walked out the door, she felt something was wrong. When she turned back, she unexpectedly heard Boss Qian talking to someone.

As expected, the other party was the type who looked down on women going out to do business, so he deliberately said that the machine had been reserved by someone else.

Xiang Baiwei was not convinced. She was no longer the woman without ambition in her previous life. She had her own career ambitions and wanted to make money with her own abilities like men, so she could only knock on Boss Qian's door again.

Boss Qian was a little surprised that she came back, but he could only say that he could not sell the machine to them.

Xiang Baiwei found that she couldn't persuade the other party, so she said bluntly that this machine actually had a fatal flaw. If other manufacturers knew about it, they might give up their intention to buy it. However, this would not be good for Boss Qian.

Boss Qian didn't expect that Bai Wei would threaten him with this, but a businessman would never do business at a loss, so he changed his words and said that if he really wanted to buy the machine, the other partner must agree.

So the two parties agreed to renegotiate their cooperation intentions in a few days.

"It's not easy to do business. Not only do you need to be smart, but you also need to be clear-headed." Xiang Baiwei reached out and patted Chi Kunli's shoulder. "I'll go alone when the time comes."

"How can that be possible?"

"Those machine shop owners are not easy to deal with."

"I know it's hard to deal with them, so I don't want you to go alone. If you get bullied by them, Teacher Jiang will be heartbroken."

"Hey, you're just talking to each other peacefully, why are you suddenly bringing up Jiang Sui?"

Xiang Baiwei frowned slightly, stretched out her hand to flick the water droplets onto Chi Kunli, and pretended to be angry, "If you mention Jiang Sui again, I will ignore you."

Chi Kunli was not annoyed. Instead, she thought Xiang Baiwei's reaction was very cute. She was like a newly married bride who had a shy expression when talking about her man but refused to admit it.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Do you know why I suddenly mentioned Teacher Jiang just now?"

"How should I know?"

He rolled his eyes at Bai Wei, put the washed vegetables into the bamboo basket, picked up a bucket of water, and walked towards the kitchen.

"In fact, I've wanted to ask you for a long time. What exactly is the fatal flaw in the machine you mentioned to Boss Qian that day? Also, since you knew it had a flaw, why did you buy it back? Wouldn't that put us at a disadvantage?"

Facing Chi Kunli's series of questions, Xiang Baiwei stopped, thought for a few seconds, turned around and said to her, "For others, it may be a fatal flaw, but not for me."

"Because Mr. Jiang used to be a maintenance consultant at the Second Machinery Factory? He can correct this fatal flaw, right?"

"I don't plan to trouble Jiang Sui. Besides, he is studying in another city now. I can't call him back whenever something happens."

"So? I still don't understand."

"It's okay if you don't understand. I'll tell you later." Xiang Baiwei didn't explain much. "Why don't you stay for dinner and then go back to the workshop together. We still have to clean up the inventory in the afternoon."

"If you don't tell me, I won't feel at ease."

Chi Kunli took a few quick steps to catch up with Xiang Baiwei, still muttering incessantly.

In fact, it’s not that Xiang Baiwei is unwilling to say it, but this defect can only be repaired with the help of her own space, so even if she tells Chi Kunli the truth, she will probably think that she is fooling her.

After all, this kind of thing is hard to convince people.

Three days later.

Xiang Baiwei and Chi Kunli came to the provincial capital again to meet with Boss Qian. This time the talks went very smoothly and they even signed a contract. Thinking about future cooperation, they went to the most famous Crown Hotel in the provincial capital for dinner at the invitation of the other party.

It was the first time for Chi Kunli to visit such a luxuriously decorated hotel. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the magnificent decorations around her.

"It's great to be rich." She couldn't help but sigh.

He smiled at Bai Wei and said, "You will have it in the future."

Finally, the two entered the private room under the guidance of the waiter.

"Didn't Boss Qian say he would treat us to a meal? Why are there so many people?"

Chi Kunli glanced at the men who stood up, then lowered her voice and said to Bai Wei, "Do you have bad intentions? Or should we leave now?"

"It's okay. We're talking business in public. They can't do anything to us."

Xiang Baiwei walked up to everyone present and greeted them openly. As a partner, Chi Kunli naturally did not dare to show shyness and also greeted them and took a seat.

Boss Qian touched his big belly and started pouring wine for the two women opposite him without finishing a few words. He said a lot of things and looked like he would not leave until he was drunk.

Xiang Baiwei knew that drinking was inevitable in business social events, so she was well prepared.
