Chapter 512: Purchasing Home Appliances
Bai Zhi took a liking to this Changhong brand color TV and planned to buy it, so she asked directly about the price, "How much is it?"
"One thousand and five."
Bai Zhi said, "We just bought one for our family, it cost 1,400 yuan, it's the same brand, and the size is the same."
"This TV is of good quality and the picture quality is very clear, so we are repeat customers."
"It's only 1,400, we'll take it away today."
"This is a bit too low, could you add some more..."
“We can’t add any more. This price is more than enough to sell it for,” Bai Zhi said to the shop owner. “If you’re willing to make the deal, we’ll go get the money now.”
Clearly, the other party was knowledgeable. The boss hesitated for a few seconds, but really didn't want to miss out on this big buyer, so he nodded, "Okay, deal."
"Okay, then we'll take them."
She noticed the other appliances in the store and asked, "You also have refrigerators and washing machines?"
The owner said proudly, "My shop is the only appliance dealership in the whole county. We have color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and we also sell tape recorders, cassette tapes, records, and other things as a side business."
"It's quite comprehensive."
"We'll take the refrigerator and washing machine too," Bai Zhi said to the shop owner with a smile, "of course, provided the price is right."
The shop owner's eyes lit up, and he kept smiling obsequiously, "The price is absolutely right. You guys know your stuff. Even if I asked for more, you wouldn't buy it."
"That's right, then name your price."
"This is a Snowflake brand refrigerator, we're giving it to you at the factory price, three thousand yuan. This washing machine is a Seagull brand centrifugal spin-drying washing machine, the most advanced model, two thousand yuan."
Seeing that his asking price wasn't outrageous, Bai Zhi finally managed to negotiate a final bargain, reducing the price of each item by fifty yuan.
Lu Ye, standing beside him, clutched his pay slip, feeling immense pressure.
Looks like my wife will have to spend money again today.
Of course, Bai Zhi came prepared. Lu Ye was carrying her bag, and she gestured, "Lu Ye, you go to the bank with my cousin to withdraw money. Shen Qian and I will wait here."
"Go quickly."
"good."
Seeing Bai Zhi howling like that, Shen Qian bought the most luxurious three-piece home appliance set.
One has to admire her financial resources.
These things would cost them several years' worth of wages.
Bai Zhi spent so much money on home appliances, it was clear she was settling down here, and she was happy about it.
They are more likely to collaborate in the future.
Bai Zhi was in a very good mood. She said to Chen Qian, "Come to my house to watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve this year. Let's celebrate the New Year together."
Is it convenient for me to go?
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at her. "What's inconvenient about it? I bought new sheets and duvet covers today, so you don't need to bring your own."
Shen Qian put her arm around her shoulder and smiled, "Oh, you've prepared everything for me? Then I certainly won't let you down and will definitely come to your house for the New Year."
"welcome."
This made not only Shen Qian happy, but the owner of the electronics store couldn't stop smiling.
"Girls, I'll bring you a few more records and cassettes."
That's incredibly extravagant; they must have a tape recorder at home.
Bai Zhi looked at Chen Qian, "Do you have a tape recorder?"
Shen Qian shook her head. "No."
"Should we buy it?"
"You'll take me?" Shen Qian asked back.
Bai Zhi, "!!!"
Never mind what I said.
Shen Qian laughed and said, "Just kidding, I don't need this thing. When I'm working, I'm so busy that I can't even wake up properly. How can I have time to listen to music? Besides, I have colleagues in my dorm, so I can't disturb them."
From Shen Qian's words, Bai Zhi could truly feel the seriousness and urgency of their work.
Military doctors have a much harder time than local doctors.
The key is that there are many rules, regulations, and disciplines to follow.
After waiting for about half an hour, Lu Ye and Ye Qingbai returned with the cash.
Then, he paid the money so generously and bought a color TV and a refrigerator.
Seeing that they were spending a lot of money, the boss promised to deliver the goods, but Lu Ye politely declined.
He said he would come to pick up the goods himself in the afternoon.
Bai Zhi understood Lu Ye's concerns.
Not just anyone can enter the military family compound.
Besides, they are not ordinary soldiers.
Ye Qingbai started complaining again, "I told you to drive, but you wouldn't listen. Now you have to go back?"
Lu Ye glanced at him casually, then asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you can fit all this stuff in the car?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingbai touched his nose.
It seems like there's not enough room for a Jeep to fit.
Bai Zhi had a sudden inspiration and came up with an idea. "Boss, how about this? Let my husband and brother drive your delivery truck to take the goods back, and my sister and I will wait here. You don't have to worry about them running away, right?"
"this........"
The boss was puzzled as to why they wouldn't let him deliver the goods.
Lu Ye also thought Bai Zhi's suggestion was feasible, as it would save a lot of time. Within the bounds of discipline, he revealed, "To tell you the truth, we are purchasing for the leaders, and you can't drive into their residences."
"Oh, I see."
Actually, the boss had already realized their identities and was immediately filled with awe. Since Bai Zhi said that the two girls should stay here, he felt relieved. "Alright, you can drive away. You look upright and don't seem like bad people. I'm a worldly person, and I have that much courage."
"Thank you, boss."
The three men loaded the items into the car, and Ye Qingbai drove off as the driver.
Although Bai Zhi had a lot of things to buy, at this time, she could only keep her promise and stay in the store as a "hostage".
The boss was very hospitable to them, offering them tea and melon seeds.
Bai Zhi sat there, looking at the bustling street, and asked in confusion, "Boss, there are so many people at the market outside, why is your shop so quiet?"
The shop owner chuckled awkwardly, "These are all big-ticket items, and most families can't afford them. Besides, today is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and everyone on the street is here to buy New Year's goods. Who's going to shop at an appliance store?"
"Besides large items, you also have small items, like blowers, tape recorders, and cassette tapes. These are things that ordinary people consume."
But the shop was so deserted that she was worried for the owner.
The main problem is that it's boring to stay there.
Bai Zhi couldn't sit still any longer, so she chatted with the boss for a while and learned that his business wasn't doing well. She gave him some advice, "Boss, why don't you do some promotions and lower the prices a bit? These goods are just gathering dust. If you don't sell them now, there will be new styles next year, and you won't be able to sell them at all."
The boss looked at Bai Zhi blankly, "A promotion?"
"Yes, just say that all appliances are on sale, and you can get rid of all your old-fashioned small appliances and soon-to-be-outdated cassette tapes at low prices. Also, offer free portable flashlights with the sale of blowers, free discs with the sale of VCDs, or something like that. Basically, do some promotions. It will definitely attract a lot of customers."
The boss thought that made sense.
To be honest, he prides himself on owning a high-end electronics store, and sometimes he gets impatient with customers who just come in to look around.
There are basically no events or activities organized.
The girl makes a good point. These old-fashioned small appliances have been gathering dust in the store for almost a year. Although he sells cassette tapes as a side item, they haven't been able to sell. Next year, when more popular songs come out, these will have to go into the warehouse. If the cassette tapes aren't stored properly, they'll get damp and stop working.
