After saying these words, Du Chen ignored Lu Shengbao's ugly expression and went straight to the inner room to prepare dinner.
Comrade Lao Du looked at Du Chen who patted his butt and left, then looked at Lu Shengbao who had a grim expression. In order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming more awkward, he could only continue to chat with Lu Shengbao for a few more words.
"Brother Du, it's getting late. I'll take Junfeng home for dinner first. I'll talk to you next time when I have time."
Lu Shengbao no longer had the heart to chat, so he reluctantly said a few perfunctory words and prepared to leave.
"Okay, you should go back and eat quickly. The child is young and speaks bluntly, so you should be patient with him."
Comrade Lao Du also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lu Shengbao say goodbye.
Chen Junfeng was dragged away reluctantly by Lu Shengbao. Du Bin and Comrade Lao Du went to the inner room together to prepare for dinner. After being delayed for such a while, both of them were hungry.
"Second brother, what were you thinking just now?"
Comrade Lao Du was somewhat puzzled by Du Chen's behavior just now.
"Dad, didn't you hear that Lu Shengbao was scheming in every word he said?"
"First he asked me if the quality was guaranteed, remember?"
Du Chen was ready to break it down and talk to his dad about it, so that his dad wouldn't be cheated by others in the future if he wasn't careful.
"Remember, doesn't that make sense?"
"Dad, how do you guarantee the quality? Can you guarantee that the game controller won't break? Can you guarantee that people who play games will press the buttons honestly? Then why do the original buttons break so easily?"
"Did the manufacturer guarantee their quality? Things like game controllers are inherently consumable parts. I can only guarantee that there will be no problems after I install them, but we can't guarantee anything later!"
"Besides, the price for the modification hasn't been determined yet. Are we going to buy the controller or will Lu Shengbao provide it? How can I guarantee it to him?"
"We can guarantee him that we won't compensate him if the product breaks down. Think about it, isn't that right? I can give him a warranty, but the price won't just be the cost of the modification. It also has to include our after-sales service. And we need to purchase the controllers ourselves and sell them to him. Otherwise, there will definitely be no quality guarantee."
Du Chen first explained the first question to Comrade Lao Du.
Comrade Lao Du thought carefully about Du Chen's words and found that what Du Chen said made perfect sense. To give him a quality guarantee without any guarantee was simply setting a trap for himself.
"Second brother, keep talking! I want to hear what else you have to say."
Seeing that his father understood the twists and turns, Du Chen continued to explain another problem.
"The second question I asked Lu Shengbao was how many machines he planned to modify. He told me he has three arcades with about 300 machines, is that correct?"
"There's nothing wrong with that answer, Chenchen. What's wrong with him telling you there are three hundred machines?"
Du Bin scratched his head after hearing this. He didn't understand what the problem was.
Du Chen looked at his entire family. Except for Comrade Lao Du, who had just listened to the conversation between Du Chen and Lu Shengbao and understood the trap of this sentence, his mother and Du Bin did not understand the meaning of it at all.
Seeing this situation, Du Chen decided to have a good talk with his mother and Du Bin. After all, one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must always be on guard against others.
"Mom, brother, look, I asked Lu Shengbao how many machines he was going to modify, but he didn't tell me how many machines he was going to modify. Instead, he told me how many machines he had!"
"Why do you think he answered like that?"
Seeing that his mother and Du Bin were seriously considering the questions he raised, Du Chen continued preaching.
"If you don't pay attention to the small details in his words, wouldn't you think that he plans to modify these 300 machines? If he modifies 300 machines, then wouldn't our fees be lower?"
"That's right, son. They're planning to modify 300 machines, so we have to give them a discount. Small profits but quick turnover. If the price is too high, they might not want to modify it."
Du Chen's mother answered the questions raised by Du Chen.
"Okay, Mom, this is a trap. First of all, it's impossible for all three hundred or so machines to be broken. If they were all broken, he wouldn't be able to open this arcade, right?"
"So he definitely wouldn't modify so many machines, but why did he mention so many machines? It was just to get us to lower the price ourselves."
"The second point is, after hearing about all these machines, are you tempted? If we are, then the initiative will be in their hands! You know, they are the ones asking for our help now!"
"Lu Shengbaolai did this just to turn the passive situation into the active one!"
"That's right! Son, your analysis makes sense!"
Du Chen's mother praised Du Chen.
"Third point..."
Before Du Chen could finish speaking, Du Bin interrupted him in surprise.
"Brother, what about the third point? What's wrong with your brain?"
Du Chen rolled his eyes at Du Bin, ignored him, and continued with his previous speech.
"Third, why didn't he tell me how many machines he planned to modify? I guess Lu Shengbao wanted to see if it was difficult. If it wasn't difficult, he'd ask us to modify one or two so he could learn from us and save money."
"So he won't tell you how many machines he plans to modify. He'll just throw out some bait to lure you in and get us to take the initiative! He can also adjust his attitude towards us at any time!"
Du Chen told his family the entire conversation from beginning to end. They all shook their heads after listening to it. They didn't expect that Lu Shengbao had thought so much about just a few simple words.
"Second brother, do you want to cooperate with him?"
Comrade Lao Du asked Du Chen.
"It depends. I don't know."
Du Chen didn't want to continue thinking about this problem. It was too tiring and boring.
…
"Uncle, why don't we just go back after chatting for a while? I still want to read comic books there for a while."
Chen Junfeng said to Lu Shengbao unhappily.
"They want to eat, but we haven't eaten yet. Let's go home and eat first."
Lu Shengbao didn't tell Chen Junfeng the reason. Firstly, what he did was also considered as scheming against others, and he felt embarrassed to do it in front of his nephew.
What's the point of telling Chen Junfeng? He can't change anything. Besides, Chen Junfeng is still young. It's not worth it to know that the previous confrontation has only ruined the relationship between him and Du Bin.
"Xiao Feng, tell me about Du Bin's younger brother. His name is Chenchen, right? He's quite smart!"
At the beginning, Lu Shengbao didn't take Du Chen seriously at all. After all, no matter how smart he was, he was just a child of ten years old.
But after this confrontation, Lu Shengbao admitted that he had misjudged the child. He did not expect that such a young child could be so difficult to deal with.
"Chenchen, uncle, you don't know how amazing Chenchen is. Most of the kids in our area have heard of him, even if they don't know him..."
