Chapter 99: Fighting to Buy

Zhou's father understood that all the money his son earned would be managed by his daughter-in-law.

Very good, the money a man earns should go to his wife, that’s how he can become successful.

However, he really couldn't imagine that the two of them actually had more than 10,000 yuan in savings. It should be that the son only had 7,000 yuan, and the rest was money brought by the daughter-in-law.

Zhou's father, who also had only one dollar in his pocket, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Listen to your wife and you will be rich!"

However, he looked at Jiang Xia and said, "13,000 plus my 1,000, there is still a shortfall of more than 4,000. The risk is a bit high."

Jiang Xia: "We don't need your money, Dad. We can earn it ourselves. The risk is a bit high."

Father Zhou: "Two months is too short. I can earn four or five thousand yuan in two months. It's not hard to be lucky every time I go out to sea, but luck is hard to predict."

Zhou Chenglei looked at Jiang Xia and explained, "That's why I plan to order a smaller boat first, pay a deposit of 7,000, and keep some money in my hand."

In the past, he would have bought the boat without a second thought, but now that he had Jiang Xia, he didn't want her to live a frugal life with him.

He thought that she would always have thousands of dollars in her hands, so she could buy whatever she wanted and live a more free life without worrying about having no money.

But he was embarrassed to tell Jiang Xia directly in front of his father.

Jiang Xia was about to say something when Factory Manager Zhou came out and asked, "Have you decided? The security guard called and said an old customer received the message."

Jiang Xia also saw the guard approaching with a few people.

One of the men hadn't even come close when he saw the factory director and shouted, "Director Zhou, we want that ship. We can pay the deposit right away, or even the entire ship price!"

Jiang Xia saw that he was wearing a big gold chain around his neck and a big gold ring on his hand, which showed that he was very wealthy.

Director Zhou smiled and replied, "Boss Guo, I'm a little late. I need to see if these comrades will buy it first."

The wealthy Boss Guo looked Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia up and down, then looked at Zhou's father. He couldn't tell whether they could afford it or not, so he asked, "Will you buy it?"

Zhou Chenglei was about to say something when Jiang Xia grabbed his hand and said, "Buy it!"

Jiang Xia thought about it. They now have more than 10,000 yuan, which is a bit risky, but there are still two months left, so the risk is not very big.

It's worth a try! After all, it's stupid not to take advantage of a bargain!

Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Chenglei and hooked his palm with his fingertips: "Buy?"

Zhou Chenglei couldn't do anything with her and held her naughty little hand tightly!

She had already said she would buy it. Would he say in front of so many people that he wouldn't buy it and lose face for her?

As a couple, he and she would always be of the same mind.

He didn't want her to live a frugal life, but he had to give her what she wanted, so that she would be happy. Zhou Chenglei would not fail to understand this.

Zhou Chenglei said to Director Zhou, "Director Zhou, we have decided to buy it. But we didn't bring that much money with us today. We only have 3,000 yuan. Can we come back in a few days to pay the deposit?"

Father Zhou looked at the two holding hands and felt less worried. There were still three months left. The couple loved each other very much and the money was rolling in. They might be able to earn several thousand dollars.

Just buy it! If you can’t make money, you can find someone to partner with you.

Why not buy a big ship at such a good price?

Boss Guo also brought a few boatmen with him. When they heard what Zhou Chenglei said, they couldn't help but ask, "You brought 3,000 yuan to buy a boat. Are you planning to order a small fishing boat? As far as we know, that boat costs more than 18,000 yuan? Are you sure you can afford the balance after paying the deposit?"

One of them opened a canvas bag, revealing a dozen stacks of Great Unity inside. He glanced at Zhou Chenglei provocatively, then said to Director Zhou: "Director Zhou, our boss came here as soon as he received the news, but he brought the full payment! They only brought three thousand, which is obviously not enough for them. They even have to go back to get the deposit. Stop messing around and sell the boat to us!"

"Yes, Director Zhou, please sell the boat to our boss! Our boss can pay the full amount right away! He said he would pay the deposit in a few days, which is obviously an excuse to go back and collect money! He only has the money to pay a deposit of 3,000 yuan now, and there is still more than 10,000 yuan to pay for the balance. It is not that easy to collect the money."

"If you don't have money, order a boat. If you're not that big, don't wear such a big hat!"

Boss Guo waited until his boatmen had finished talking before he said, "Okay, stop talking! Even Director Zhou can't talk anymore! Director Zhou, please sell the boat to me!"

Director Zhou is a technical man who is more principled. He also admires Zhou Chenglei after chatting with him for so long. He said, "Everything should be based on first come, first served. Since these comrades are planning to buy, the boat will naturally be sold to them."

Several boatmen wanted to say something, but were stopped by Boss Guo's glance.

Boss Guo glanced at Zhou Chenglei and the other two, then smiled at Director Zhou and said, "Director is right!"

Director Zhou smiled and said, "Next time something like this happens, I will be the first to inform Boss Guo."

Boss Guo smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Director. We'll be leaving then."

Then he winked at several of his men, and the boatmen glared at Zhou Chenglei and the other two and left.

Zhou Chenglei gave them a cold look in return.

Jiang Xia said to Director Zhou, "Thank you, Director Zhou. Then we'll pay a deposit of 3,000 yuan first? We'll pay the remaining 7,000 yuan within three days."

Director Zhou was too lazy to collect the three thousand yuan and issue a receipt. Moreover, if they couldn't collect the money, he would have to return it to them, which would be troublesome for accounting. So he said, "No need. I said I would give you three days. Bring the money to pay the deposit within three days. After three days, I won't keep it. You don't have to pay the three thousand yuan first. You can pay it all at once when the time comes."

Jiang Xia was worried and joked, "You should pay a deposit of 3,000 yuan! What if someone else comes and wants to buy it at a high price? We didn't pay a penny and asked you to stay for three days. Isn't this making things difficult for you? This factory is so big, there may be relatives of workers who want to buy it. We paid the deposit today, you can show the receipt directly to the other party, and the other party will have nothing to say. You don't have to offend them if you refuse."

Director Zhou laughed in anger. This shows that he doesn't trust him! He said he would stay for three days.

However, Jiang Xia's words sounded nice, and he was not really angry, because it was indeed possible.

After all, he has already spread the news that this ship is really a good deal, and many people will definitely come to buy it in the next few days.

He had encountered similar situations before, and Jiang Xia's suggestion gave him a reminder that he could use this method in the future.

He said, "Okay, pay a deposit of 3,000 yuan first."

Then Director Zhou said to Zhou Chenglei: "The wife you married is quite smart!"

Zhou Chenglei smiled and held Jiang Xia's hand tightly.

The three of them went into the office again and paid the deposit of three thousand yuan. Director Zhou gave them a receipt.

At this time, the phone in the office rang again. Director Zhou was going to answer it. Jiang Xia and the other two said goodbye and left happily with the receipt.

Father Zhou is the happiest!

As soon as the three of them walked to the factory gate, they saw a black car parked outside the factory gate, and two foreigners got out of the car.
