"Then don't buy it," said Mr. He. "A Mercedes-Benz costs over a million. Half of that is a down payment, which is over 500,000. You need to keep some money for cash flow."
Mr. He really wanted to drive a Mercedes-Benz, and He Wenlin had also talked to him about buying one, so Mr. He had inquired about the price well in advance.
He was startled when he first heard that it would cost millions.
"Buying a used car would be fine," Mr. He said, "a used Jeep or an off-road vehicle."
"Let's not buy a second-hand one, let's look at new ones. We'll buy a new one when I come back from Wenzhou! Mom, you should also take some time to learn to drive."
Ms. He: "I've already registered, and I should be taking the theory test (Part 1) soon."
Since He Wenlin was kidnapped last time, He's mother felt that she would be better off driving, so a few days ago, she signed up for a driving test.
“Then let’s buy a cheap one for around 200,000 to 300,000 this year, and we’ll see how it goes later.” He Wenlin laughed. “A big boss like me can’t always ride in a van. I’m already looked down upon when I go out to do business because I’m young. If I don’t dress nicely, people will look down on me even more.”
Since ancient times, people have always respected clothing before respecting people.
"No matter what, I'm definitely driving a brand new car home for Chinese New Year this year!"
It's high-profile, but it makes my parents and grandmother look good and proud.
...
He Wenlin was supposed to go to school on Monday, as she had arranged with Tang Zhenjun.
However, since it coincided with the contract signing time, He Wenlin decisively asked her teacher for two days off.
Early Monday morning, He Wenlin and Li Shulin went to Wencheng in person.
After signing the contract, he didn't come back immediately. Instead, he treated the clients to karaoke, dinner, and drinks, spending nearly 10,000 yuan.
A rough calculation shows that He Wenlin has already spent more than 40,000 yuan to get this contract.
But it was worth the money!
Plenty of people would like to spend this money, but they don't have the opportunity.
He Wenlin also benefited from her past life, because she had contact with Gao Fei in her previous life, so she roughly knew what kind of person Gao Fei was.
This person is very smart; he wants money, but he also wants results.
He knew very well that if he couldn't deliver results for his boss, he wouldn't be able to continue earning money.
So the key to He Wenlin's ability to secure the contract so quickly was actually the event plan she submitted!
Signing the contract is only the first step; the next step is to visit the stores.
At that time, store managers still had a lot of power, unlike more than ten years later when all warehouses gradually became centralized for shipping.
Gao Fei organized a new product competition, and the participating products were He Wenlin's Xiangzhiyuan peach shortbread and Xiangzhiyuan brand egg rolls. The peach shortbread was priced at 4.88 yuan per jin, and the egg rolls were priced at 8.9 yuan per box.
It's cheaper than the pastries sold in the market.
The event will run from October 1st to October 31st.
Time is tight because today is already the 10th.
He Wenlin immediately notified the factory to expedite the production of peach shortbread, and the new factory to make egg rolls would immediately add fifteen temporary workers and purchase another fifteen new machines.
In addition, the other two sales representatives from the factory were instructed to quickly visit all the stores with Li Shulin to ensure that all stores had completed their restocking before National Day.
In fact, store managers welcome suppliers and would love to have more suppliers, because the bread department is the poorest department compared to other operating departments. With more suppliers, they have more opportunities to earn extra money.
Departmental space is limited. If an event is initiated by headquarters, the store will also pay attention to it and allocate a prominent display location in the main aisle, because the store's vice president and general manager also need to achieve results.
The main aisle is never occupied by the bread department, except for mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Therefore, the store manager is eager to organize more promotions, provided he's getting paid for it.
The task of visiting stores was delegated to the sales staff, who only needed to report the situation to He Wenlin daily.
...
He Wenlin returned to school on the 12th.
Everyone was quite curious about He Wenlin, a student who didn't participate in military training and was late in returning to school.
"Are you the one who scored 748?" He Wenlin's deskmate asked in a low voice. "My name is Zhang Junlan. Your classmate came to see you before and said you scored 748."
A classmate came to see me?
He Wenlin thought about it and decided it should be Tang Yanling.
"I scored 748 points. My name is He Wenlin," He Wenlin said politely. "Where are we in the course?"
"We haven't even started yet. We had military training beforehand, and then it was the weekend. We had a farewell party for the instructors yesterday, and classes only officially begin today," Zhang Junlan said. "Why didn't you come to military training? I really envy you for not having to. I'm so hot I feel like I'm going to explode."
“I had some family matters to attend to, so I told the teacher when I was choosing a school that I couldn’t come to military training. The teacher agreed, so I came to No. 1 Middle School.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Junlan slapped her thigh and said with extreme regret, "Oh dear! I can't believe it! I'm so stupid, I should have asked for that too!"
Those who get into the top classes are all high-scoring students, and the school is vying for them. If Zhang Junlan had said she wasn't feeling well and didn't want to participate in the military training, the teachers might have agreed.
The top classes are different. There are plenty of students who talk and play during breaks, but none of them talk or sleep during class. They are very serious.
Unlike regular classes in regular schools, where the teacher lectures while some students participate, a class is only a few tens of minutes long and cannot be used to emphasize discipline all the time.
Students in top classes diligently do practice problems during self-study periods, while students in ordinary classes at ordinary schools do all sorts of things, such as reading novels, sleeping, chatting, and passing notes.
The atmosphere is really different.
I spent an uneventful day of high school.
He Wenlin was quite unaccustomed to it.
After school, He Wenlin bought a lot of tutoring books and workbooks from the surrounding area. In fact, the things in the textbooks are all superficial, especially in mathematics. You can't do it without doing a lot of practice problems.
He Wenlin saw some history books that her younger brother liked, so she bought a few as well.
He's in third grade now and has to write compositions. He Wenlin bought him a copy of "Perfect Compositions," "One Hundred Points for Compositions," and "Writing Techniques," just like that. He likes writing, so he'll definitely like these books.
The bag was full of books, and it was quite heavy.
When He Wenlin's father brought her food, she gave him the book she had given to her younger brother to take back with him.
"Why did you buy him so many extracurricular books?" Mr. He said. "Now he's always reading extracurricular books and doesn't want to read regular books anymore."
"Dad, stop overthinking it. My brother is in second grade, and we haven't even taught him how to write yet. Why is his diary so good? It's talent, it's the result of a lot of extracurricular reading. My brother might become a writer!"
"If he becomes a writer, I'll lick the door ten times over!"
"Hahaha..." He Wenlin laughed heartily, "Dad, remember what you said, don't deny it later!"
