The suggestion was acceptable, and Gao Dan did not object, so naturally Ye Wanying would not refuse it either.
Cao Da knew the couple had agreed, so he honestly stated the price: "The TVs aren't actually that expensive to produce. The high price here is mainly due to various shipping costs and the inflated prices. Take Sanyo TVs, for example. They sell for at least 1800 to other brands, but we only pay around 600 to buy one. We can buy Huanghe Bianyi TVs for 400. Which brand do you prefer, sister-in-law?"
This kind of thing is best asked of your sister-in-law, not your husband!
Although Ye Wanying secretly liked Sanyo, it was too high-profile. It would be better to choose a domestic brand like Yellow River, so that no one could find fault with it.
"Let's go with the Yellow River. You know we're in the military. Sanyo is a foreign brand, and that might cause trouble!"
Cao Da had been in the military for many years and naturally knew some of the things going on. He also agreed with what Ye Wanying said.
"Alright, then I'll charge you three hundred per unit!"
In Cao Da's eyes, a 300 yuan gift was really not much. He was cursing like a dog in his heart!
Ha, but if you sell your Yellow River truck outside, one unit would cost seven or eight hundred, okay? That's not cheap. An average person only earns a few dozen yuan a month, so seven or eight hundred would be two whole years' salary.
"Wait, wasn't it four hundred?" Ye Wanying suddenly realized that Cao Da had lowered the price by one hundred again. Is this how business is conducted?
If this happens a few more times, won't we be left with nothing but our underwear?
Cao Da immediately explained, "Sister-in-law, I really didn't lose out. How about this, we'll ship directly from the factory, and it'll be cheaper during promotional periods. Plus, we'll give away one as a bonus for every unit we order."
Therefore, even if he doesn't charge a single penny, Cao Da won't lose a single cent.
Ye Wanying looked at her husband; it's best for the man to make the decision in this kind of matter!
Gao Dan didn't refuse in the end, accepting his brother's kindness: "Okay, then it's settled. Whenever you have time, send it to our house. It's been a long time since we got together. Let's have a good drink then!"
"That's a great suggestion. It's been at least two years since we last had drinks together, hasn't it? I was about to move to Guangzhou back then, I remember it very clearly."
Hearing Cao Da's words, Gao Dan also recalled the scene of the last dinner party: "Xue Li and Lan Hui were there back then, weren't they?"
Cao Da and Lan Hui were discharged from the army in the same batch. At that time, they were scattered. Some of Xue Li and others went to Xinjiang, some went to the south, and he went to Guangdong.
"I still have a fan to repair, the customer is waiting for it. Boss, I'll bring the TV over this afternoon when I'm free!"
"Alright! Let's drink tonight!"
"good!"
Finally, when he left, Gao Dan insisted on paying three hundred yuan in cash, making Cao Da very uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to accept it.
Watching the family of three leave, he thought, "Never mind, when I go to my eldest son's house this afternoon, I'll buy more gifts for my nephew and sister-in-law on the street!"
In any case, Cao Da simply didn't want to accept the money. So much so that when he delivered the TV to the door in the afternoon, he also brought in two large boxes of things, all of them high-quality items, worth far more than three hundred yuan.
Ye Wanying looked at the two large boxes of things in front of her and was both amused and exasperated. However, she already knew that the camaraderie between the soldiers at this time was very pure and there was nothing else mixed in. They were just doing their best for each other.
So, they actually accepted it.
