Normally, the prices of products like computers are all roughly the same, and once someone gets the order, there are generally no major changes.
But who knew the Li family would pull off such a bold move this time, offering a price that no one could refuse openly.
Given the same quality, who would dare to buy a more expensive product instead of a cheaper one?
He had another message he hadn't had time to tell Hu Mingfu, so he excused himself and went to make a phone call.
If the prices are indeed based on the list provided by Peter, the company will likely increase the order volume.
Hu Mingfu walked out with a gloomy expression and immediately called Liu Gengju.
Without further ado, he immediately explained the current situation.
"Geng Ju, now is not the time for nonsense. Just tell me if the price can be lowered to 6500, otherwise this business will be in danger."
The price dropped from 7500 yuan to 6500 yuan, a reduction of 1000 yuan.
If we calculate based on 1 million laptops, that's a loss of 1 billion.
Who can stand this? This is a sure way to lose profits!
Hearing Hu Mingfu's words, Liu Gengju's expression turned even uglier.
He thought it was a sure thing; he had already contacted the merchant and even paid the price.
That's at least tens of millions of dragon coins.
But if the price is lowered to 6,500 yuan now, his profit will be much less, dropping from 1.5 billion to 500 million.
How can we divide the spoils with Hu Mingfu now?
He considered it for a moment, then said very seriously, "If we lower the price to 6500 yuan, there will be almost no profit left. If that happens, your share..."
Hu Mingfu gritted his teeth inwardly upon hearing this.
Is this telling him that the 500 million has vanished?
If that's the case, then what's the point of him working so hard? He's just working for someone else for free.
But the thought that it was the Li family causing trouble again made him furious.
Hu Mingfu gritted his teeth and said, "As long as we don't lose money, we'll lower the price. I'm aware of that."
"Alright then, we'll do it your way. I can't hold you back, can I?" Liu Gengju said through gritted teeth.
Small profits are better than nothing.
Since Hu Mingfu has said so, he must follow in his footsteps.
Hu Mingfu hung up the phone, his face looking extremely grim.
He truly couldn't accept this outcome.
"Damn the Li family, damn Peter Ma, they're clearly trying to make trouble for the Hu family."
He cursed viciously and prepared to turn back.
This order is a must-have; it's not just about the money anymore.
But just then, Peter's figure appeared in his line of sight.
"Oh? Isn't this Hu Mingfu? Come have some tea?"
"Hmph, this isn't your business, what's it to you?"
"Look at you, it was just a question. Goodbye."
Peter gave a sarcastic greeting and was about to push the door open and enter.
Upon seeing this, Hu Mingfu rushed over in one stride.
There was no other way; they were both going into the same office.
The two squeezed in from the back, leaving the leader completely bewildered.
What are you doing here?
Peter Ma laughed and said, "What a coincidence. I just came to ask the boss how the order is going."
"Well, I was just talking to Xiao Hu about this. Come on, everyone, sit down and let's talk." The leader stood up somewhat awkwardly to greet them.
Peter had expected this, so he wasn't surprised and sat down with a smile.
Hu Mingfu glared at him and said in a deep voice, "We can lower the price to 6,500 yuan. I think there should be a first-come, first-served principle in everything, right?"
Upon hearing this, the leader gave a helpless smile.
"Xiao Ma, you see everyone's prices are the same. Why don't you give way this time? After all, it was Xiao Hu and his group who negotiated first."
Upon hearing this, Peter Ma looked at Hu Mingfu in surprise.
"Xiao Hu, are you not planning to make money?"
"Hmph, it's my duty to contribute to the country." Hu Mingfu endured the pain of the loss and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.
“That’s truly a noble and virtuous act, worthy of our emulation. Let’s lower the price to 6,000 yuan then, as a small contribution to national development,” Peter Ma said with a smile.
He came here because he received the news and was afraid that things might change.
Just as he expected, Hu Mingfu actually managed to lower the price.
But so what?
The price that Su Wu offered was 6,000 yuan, so Su Wu is not losing out now.
Upon hearing the price, the leader was stunned, and so was Hu Mingfu.
Liu Gengju told Hu Mingfu that 6,500 yuan was their limit; any lower and they would lose money.
How can you do a business that loses money?
The leaders were surprised that Peter Ma could actually lower the price; it was simply too outrageous.
It's important to understand that even a price of 7,500 yuan isn't something every company can afford.
These are high-performance laptops, not just those fancy models.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Ma, are you sure your people can lower the price to 6,000 yuan?"
“I would dare to say anything out of line in front of you, that’s for sure.” Peter Ma said with a sincere expression.
"Then, Xiao Hu, what about you..." The leader looked at Hu Mingfu with some helplessness.
Hu Mingfu's feelings were extremely complicated at this moment.
In his view, Peter was deliberately making things difficult for him.
However, he could no longer negotiate the price of 6,000 yuan, after all, Liu Gengju was a businessman.
Unless he offers other benefits in return, Liu Gengju is unlikely to follow him in his madness.
