Although Hu Yuan was able to capitalize on the price difference in treasury bonds and win a brilliant battle.
Feng Qian still thought he was a novice in business and could be easily fooled by offering him some profits, but she never expected him to be so difficult to deal with.
"Then what do you want to do?" After a moment of contemplation, Feng Qian asked.
"Of course, Section Chief Feng. After all, you helped me with the treasury bonds, so I won't make things difficult for you!"
Hu Yuan smiled and continued, "I don't want you to give me the price at cost. How about this, give me an extra 20% discount on top of your lowest wholesale price?"
Seeing that Feng Qian was about to retort, Hu Yuan quickly added, "You know, we're dealing with inventory issues. Without price discounts, our products won't have any advantage over others!"
Upon hearing Hu Yuan's words, Feng Qian fell silent.
After a while, she continued, "You know, our lowest wholesale price is 1,900 yuan per ton. If we give you a 10% discount, that's 1,710 yuan. That works out to only 85 cents per bag, which is already very low."
Hu Yuan shook his head and continued, "Well then, Section Chief Feng, I won't say any more. How about we set it at 1,600 yuan per ton? I believe the factory will definitely not lose money at this price, and I will also have a certain profit margin."
The price is 1,600 yuan per ton, and the average wholesale price per bag is 0.8 yuan.
In this era where a 500-gram bag of laundry detergent costs an average of 2.2 or 2.3 yuan, there's definitely a chance to make a profit.
"Section Chief Feng, is the price I'm asking for acceptable? I think you still have the authority to adjust the price, right?"
At this moment, Feng Qian's heart was pounding.
Because Hu Yuan's words hit the nail on the head.
The factory's lowest wholesale price for Feng Qian was 80 cents per bag.
Feng Qian originally wanted to maximize her profit, but she didn't expect Hu Yuan to be able to accurately pinpoint the lowest price.
Feng Qian naturally didn't believe that someone had leaked the information to Hu Yuan, since besides factory director Sun Lin, only she herself knew about this matter.
If no one leaked the information, then it can only mean that Hu Yuan is really amazing.
Although she didn't get much of a price advantage, Feng Qian felt much more at ease.
With someone who can calculate so precisely, there's not much to worry about in estimating sales.
"Okay, then I'll charge you 80 cents. But there's one thing I need to tell you beforehand!"
"No problem, Section Chief Feng, just tell me what you need!"
Now that the price had been agreed upon, Hu Yuan was very pleased.
"If I give it to you at this price, then the deposit will need to be higher. But I think with so many treasury bonds collected this time, even if the deposit is a bit higher, you shouldn't have any problem, right?"
"No problem, of course no problem!" Hu Yuan said with a hearty laugh.
"By the way, Section Chief Feng, I have another request."
"What request?"
"I'd like to borrow some drivers and trucks from your factory. Of course, I'll cover their wages and fuel costs. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qian readily nodded, "Of course, no problem!"
“However, I also have a request,” Feng Qian suddenly countered, turning the tables on Hu Yuan.
Seeing Feng Qian's expression, Hu Yuan found it somewhat amusing, but then said, "Section Chief Feng, just say what you want. Do you need some commission?"
"Stop it!" Looking at Hu Yuan's grinning face, Feng Qian knew he was joking with her.
Rolling her eyes at him, Feng Qian said to herself, "My request is that you stop calling me 'Section Chief Feng' all the time. If you weren't an employee of our factory, how about we just be friends?"
"Of course, that's no problem. I also want a friend as outstanding as Section Chief Feng... ah, no! I also want a friend as excellent as you!"
"Just call me Feng Qian!" Feng Qian said with a smile.
In fact, Feng Qian was very interested in Hu Yuan because this young man was quite different from many of the men she had known before.
From their interactions over the past few days, Feng Qian discovered that this man possessed not only the confidence, ambition, and vigor of a young person, but also other qualities that characterize youth.
They also possess the composure and maturity that comes with years of experience, and the ability to remain calm in the face of adversity.
It's important to know that these two qualities rarely coexist in young people, yet Hu Yuan possesses both.
Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.
What Feng Qian found somewhat regrettable was that such an outstanding young man was already married and had a four-year-old child.
If he weren't married...
Thinking of this, Feng Qian's face flushed slightly, and her eyes became somewhat unfocused.
Hu Yuan did not pay attention to Feng Qian's situation.
Because his mind wasn't on that at the moment, but was constantly planning what to do next.
...
"Director Murong, you have a phone call!"
Murong Wan, who was standing at the door in a daze, turned around and glanced at Xiao Qin, who was holding up the phone. "Who is looking for me?"
"He didn't say, but it was a young man's voice."
"Young man?"
Murong Wan frowned, but still went over and took the phone.
"Hello, I am Murong Wan."
Murong Wan's voice was cold and clear as she quietly awaited the other party's response.
"Long time no see, Director Murong! Your voice has become more and more pleasant to hear!"
Murong Wan, whose expression had been somewhat cold, immediately brightened up upon hearing this playful voice.
She laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, Hu Yuan, you still know to call me? Don't you even consider me a friend anymore!"
Seeing Murong Wan's sweet appearance, Xiao Qin, who was not far away, was stunned.
Having been in the business for so long, she had never seen Murong Wan smile at anyone.
"Who is this? Who could make Director Murong so happy? Could it be her boyfriend?"
Xiao Qin secretly began to speculate.
On the other end of the phone, Hu Yuan was quite content.
He twirled the keys in his hand and replied with a smile, "No, no! You, Director Murong, are my savior. How could I forget you!"
"Oh! So that's why you called me. You, Hu Yuan, you never contact me when there's nothing wrong?" Murong Wan said to Hu Yuan, feigning anger.
"No, no, I was just saying. If anyone dares to make you angry, I'll immediately run to Pujiang and teach them a lesson!" Hu Yuan said, feigning righteous indignation.
"Okay! Then come now. I'll be unhappy if I don't see you!"
"Oh dear! I guess that won't work now. I'm going to be very busy these next few days..."
"Hmph! You're a big liar, you don't keep your word, I'm not talking to you anymore! I'm hanging up!"
Murong Wan said with a pout, tapping the phone receiver as if she was about to hang up.
"No, no, no, why are you getting angry all of a sudden? I really have something to do!" Hu Yuan quickly explained, both amused and exasperated.
"Then tell me, what do you want?"
"I'm currently building my career!"
