Chapter 22: Fifteen thousand per gram of ink?



Song Tingwan raised an eyebrow, "Is there a problem?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhou chuckled, "I thought the 200 units in the form were just an extra zero that Miss Song accidentally entered."

"The numbers are fine. I need a lot of agricultural tools." Song Tingwan paused and added, "And fertilizers and seeds. Everything is on the list."

Lu Zhou flipped through the list again and again. "Ms. Song, the rest is easy. The only problem is, what is this solar water pump used for? Understanding the customer's needs is crucial so we can find the best solution to maximize their benefits, right?"

“To irrigate the land.”

Lu Zhou was stunned. "For watering the land, wouldn't an automatic sprinkler be more suitable? It's also cheaper."

"Not suitable." Song Tingwan shook her head. "The automatic sprinkler needs to be connected to a water pipe."

This made Lu Zhou even more confused. What kind of place was there without water pipes? Could it be a remote mountain village?

However, since Song Tingwan was unwilling to talk more, he did not ask any more questions. In a cooperative relationship, he only needed to meet the client's needs and did not need to understand so many things.

"Wait a minute, I'll call the manufacturer."

Song Tingwan gestured to him to do as he pleased.

After the phone call, Song Tingwan understood what the manufacturer meant.

If she wants to use a solar water pump to irrigate the land, she must use a high-power one with high water pressure.

It is best to choose a deep well pump, which has high water pressure and the irrigation range can be adjusted by yourself, which is very convenient.

Lu Zhou took a sip of coffee and asked, "How about we stick with the original plan?"

Original plan?

How is that possible!

Of course, when it comes to professional matters, you should listen to the opinions of professionals.

Song Tingwan barely hesitated for a moment, "Of course I'll listen to Uncle Wang. Let's order twenty units first and see the results."

"Okay, straightforward." Lu Zhou pulled up the price list Uncle Wang had sent him and handed it to Song Tingwan. "A solar deep-well pump costs 2,680 yuan on the market, but I'll only charge you 2,300 yuan. I'll charge you 30% of the difference."

Lu Zhou smiled broadly, "Miss Song, how do you like this discount?"

Song Tingwan had no objection to the price. After all, she had compared many prices last night. Even a water pump with an irrigation range of three meters in diameter generally costs around four or five hundred yuan, not to mention a deep well pump.

The list was long, and the quantity of each item was large. The two of them checked each item one by one, including model, quantity, price, and applicability.

Of course, Song Tingwan said that the rest could be delayed, but the bottled water must be delivered to her store today.

After separating from Lu Zhou, Song Tingwan went home and sorted out the big box of treasures that Xiao Yunze had given her last time.

Not knowing what was more valuable, she took ten gold ingots, then picked out some ornaments, and finally took the only porcelain vase, and put them all into the backpack.

It would take a lot of money to help the people of Fengxian fight the drought. She did a rough calculation last night and found that her savings were not even enough to cover the cost.

It’s the same antique shop as last time.

Li Jinxiang hadn't seen Song Tingwan for a long time, and he warmly invited her to sit down and have tea.

"Oh, girl, I've missed you so much after not seeing you for so long. Come, have some tea."

Song Tingwan carefully placed the bulging backpack on the seat and patted it gently. "Grandpa Li, do you really miss me or the things in my backpack?"

"Hey—" Li Jinxiang laughed, "Girl, I feel like I have a special affinity with you."

"Tell me, what did you bring this time? And you brought such a big bag, it can't be full of everything, right?"

Song Tingwan smiled broadly, "Grandpa Li, I'm sorry to have to take up quite a bit of your time today. I have a lot of things to bring."

"Come on, let's do it one by one." Li Jinxiang took off his glasses and put them on. "I, an old man, also want to take this opportunity to broaden my horizons."

Song Tingwan opened his backpack and first took out a few jade ornaments and placed them on the table one by one. Then he took out a black rectangular object with patterns engraved on it.

Song Tingwan put it away and was about to go out to get something when her attention was attracted by Li Jinxiang.

Li Jinxiang's thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, and he stared at the black object on the table without blinking. When he got closer and saw it more clearly, he blinked hard several times and shook his head slightly, as if he didn't believe what he saw.

"Grandpa Li, what is this black thing?" Song Tingwan was also aroused by his expression.

"This is..." Li Jinxiang took out a snow-white handkerchief, wrapped the black object with trembling hands, and held it up to his eyes to observe it carefully.

Sometimes I am surprised, sometimes I am happy.

After a long while, Li Jinxiang said in a trembling voice, "Girl, this thing of yours is incredible! Incredible!"

Song Tingwan blinked. "This black thing? Grandpa Li, what is this?"

"ink."

Song Tingwan asked, "Is ink expensive?"

"Girl, look at the color of this ink. It's completely black, a very pure black, without a single impurity."

Li Jinxiang walked around the table and came to Song Tingwan, holding up the ink block for her to see. "Look at the painting on this ink block. A huge lotus flower, like an umbrella, is propped up above the heads of two children. Both children have wispy bangs and wear embroidered bellybands tied around their chests."

"Furthermore, this ink painting is very delicate and lifelike, with smooth lines. It is truly the work of a master."

"Whether it's the texture, color, or depiction of the ink block, everything points to its superb quality."
