Chapter 244 Inquiry
"Boss, please don't tease me. My brother and I resell furniture just to earn some hard-earned money to eat.
I have no right to speak on the price of these goods. We all listen to you!"
Yu Duoduo narrowed his eyes with a smile. He had to make this administrator happy, so that the future business could last long!
"The little girl is quite knowledgeable about the rules! Since you are so sincere, both the bed and the mattress are included. I will give you a set of bedding for 50 points." said the administrator.
“Thank you, leader!”
Yu Duoduo was a little surprised to hear the price. She thought the administrator would not give a high price... at least not such a high price.
But he said before that this batch of bedding is almost the same as the top-quality goods in the mall bunker, so he probably charges according to the price of top-quality goods.
She remembered that the most expensive bed she saw in the mall the day before seemed to cost 100 points!
From this perspective, the mall is indeed not losing money with the cost price of 50 points. As for who would use points that are enough to buy 100 kilograms of rice to buy a bed, that is not something Yu Duoduo should consider.
"Tell me, how much do you have? I'll take it all today." The administrator asked, rubbing the mattress that felt very good.
He is not a fool. These two people gave such valuable gifts, how could they only plan to exchange them for a few hundred points!
Yu Duoduo stared at the administrator's face, carefully held up four fingers, and answered, "480 sets in total!"
When the administrator heard the number, he was not surprised at all. He waved his hand, signed at the bottom of the exchange count, and then handed the form to the person who followed him.
"Okay, you guys send all the bedding here today. I've already signed it. I have something else to do at the mall, so I can't stay here long. Secretary Zhang will complete the verification for me.
After that, you will follow him to the government hall and transfer the points you want to redeem to the card."
After saying this, the administrator sat back in his four circles and walked away.
Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun smiled at each other. If all 480 sets were exchanged for 50 points, they would get 24,000 points. Today's trip was not in vain.
The administrator has already signed, and the next thing is just a formality.
Xie Yun stayed in the parking lot to watch over the goods, while Yu Duoduo drove the truck out of the base and dragged the furniture back from the space.
It took her a whole day and dozens of trips to transport all 480 beds back to the base. After going in and out so many times, even the soldiers guarding the gate of the base became familiar with her...
When Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun followed the administrator's secretary out of the government hall, two 12,000 points were deposited into Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun's Spark Cards respectively.
"Secretary Zhang, I'm sorry to have wasted your entire day accompanying us here to count the number of beds. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!"
As Yu Duoduo spoke, he took out a 500ml bottle of Moutai wrapped in a cloth bag from his bag and handed it to Secretary Zhang.
"This is something that President Ning asked me to do. I'm just an agent. It's not a big deal. You don't have to be so polite!"
Secretary Zhang said words of refusal, but she didn't show any intention of returning the wine to Yu Duoduo. Instead, she put the wine into her bag.
Seeing Secretary Zhang put away the things, Yu Duoduo became bolder.
"Secretary Zhang, I'd like to ask you about the furniture in Sanhuan Residence. Would you be willing to share some information with me?"
"Third Ring Road Residence? You guys are really well-informed. It's only been a few days since the meeting at the top and you already know everything?" Secretary Zhang asked in surprise.
"We also heard it from others..."
In fact, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun did not know the details of the news, but based on Yu Duoduo's experience in his previous life, it was probably a problem of renting a residential building on the Third Ring Road.
We need to shift from renting houses to renting beds to reduce the pressure on ordinary people living in residential areas within the Third Ring Road.
"After doing this round of business today, you can be considered as one of our own.
It is not impossible to say that the official base will soon collect a batch of standard single beds as rental units for the third ring road residences in the future.
The quantity is not small and it will be put into use within half a year when the third ring road residential area is completed.
The storage targets are handed over to the mall administrators on the east and west sides of the base. They are controlled by our General Ning and General Ji on the west side. Those who complete the targets ahead of schedule will be rewarded.
You two have a way. If you can help our President Ning complete the target, it will be good for President Ning and good for everyone."
Secretary Zhang spoke very bluntly. He could see that President Ning valued these two people very much, otherwise he would not have signed this deal so confidently. After all, it was not a small amount of money.
"Secretary Zhang, can you tell us more about the details of the bedding? It's cold outside, how about we treat you to a chat in the mall restaurant? Is that okay with you?"
Yu Duoduo struck while the iron was hot and stuffed the reluctant Secretary Zhang into their SUV and went straight to the mall.
They went up to the third floor, entered a Western restaurant, and asked for a private room. Yu Duoduo asked the restaurant to serve all the special dishes.
After sitting down, Secretary Zhang took out a drawing from his bag, put it on the table, and showed it to Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun.
The drawing shows the styles and sizes of two finished beds, one is made of wood and the other is made of iron, but both are bunk beds, and the size of the bed is uniformly 1.00m*2.00m.
"This is the bedding task assigned by the base officials. It is not limited to iron or wood. These two materials are hard to find now." Secretary Zhang said.
"But as far as I know, there are ready-made panels for sale in the mall. Isn't it feasible to buy the panels and process them now?" Yu Duoduo asked.
Secretary Zhang smiled and said, "How many boards can be in stock in the mall? How many bunk beds can be made from one board? Our President Ning is the boss of the mall, so how could he not know how big his business is?
After all, the amount given by the base officials is too large. I think it might be difficult to get it within half a year. After all, the materials alone are…"
"Secretary Zhang, may I ask, how much does the base officially require?"
"The current plan is for 2 million beds, and our General Manager Ning has a target of 1 million."
"So how many points can you expect to get for each bed?"
Secretary Zhang stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, and made a ten.
This was similar to what Wei Dong had expected, but he had not anticipated the scarcity of board materials. If he had to go out of the base to find wood, the cost would have been greatly increased.
Until the end of the meal, Yu Duoduo had not come up with a solution to control costs.
After seeing Secretary Zhang off, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun went to Wei Dong's house.
Apparently they had been waiting for news from them for a whole day, for the door opened as soon as they went upstairs.
"How is it?" Wei Dong asked anxiously.
Yu Duoduo told Wei Dong all the information provided by Secretary Zhang, and his enthusiasm instantly dropped by half.
He sighed, "If only we were still living in the bunker, we could have as much firewood as we wanted on the mountain!"
After hearing Wei Dong's words, an idea suddenly came to Yu Duoduo's mind!
