Chapter 95 Bought a Crystal Chandelier (Revised)
This time they flew to Guangzhou and asked taxi drivers and hotel waiters about places selling building materials and lamps. However, they left with high hopes but returned disappointed. Guangzhou did not have the tiles and crystal lamps that Qiao Qinglu wanted.
A boss told them helplessly that this product was definitely not available in the mainland, and if they wanted to look for it, they should go to Hong Kong.
This sentence woke Qiao Qinglu up, and she went to the clothing street.
"Ah Wei, I need your help with something. I'll give you a reward after you do it."
Awei was quite impressed by Qiao Qinglu and his wife. They were big customers who had just purchased 500 tape recorders. He asked what was the matter straightforwardly.
Qiao Qinglu told Xiangjiang that she was short of tiles and crystal chandeliers for her home renovation and asked him to help ask the supplier if he could get the goods.
Awei agreed. Since there weren't many people around at the moment, he handed the stall to his younger brother and took Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun to the intersection to make a phone call.
The call was connected, and Wei hung up after chatting for a while.
"Pretty girl, my previous owner said the price is not cheap. If you are serious, we can discuss it in person. He is drinking tea at the Ruyi Tea House around the corner now. You can go over and ask the waiter about the tiles."
Ah Wei pointed to a direction where a sign could be vaguely seen.
Qiao Qinglu thanked Awei and handed over a red envelope containing ten Great Unity notes.
Ah Wei refused, "Pretty girl, you underestimate me, Ah Wei. It's just a matter of matchmaking. If you feel bad about it, just give me a lower price next time."
"No, no, no, let's put it this way. I have to bargain when I need to. Otherwise, I won't make any money."
After the two chatted and laughed, Qiao Qinglu took back the red envelope and said goodbye to Awei.
Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun walked into Ruyi Teahouse and asked the front desk clerk about the tiles. The clerk took them to a table by the river and said, "Ms. Jiang, your guests are here."
Sitting at the table was an elegant middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a well-fitting suit. Behind him stood two men in sunglasses who looked like bodyguards.
Jiang Ye looked at them and smiled, "Please sit down."
Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun sat down as instructed. "Jiang Ye, my name is Qiao Qinglu, and this is my boyfriend, Xiao Qinyun. Ah Wei told you about the situation over the phone. Name your price."
Jiang Ye took a sip of tea and said, "Miss Qiao, excuse me, are you opening a shop by ordering tiles and crystal lamps? We have several styles of tiles and lamps. What color, pattern, and quantity do you want? These are fragile items and are not cheap."
Qiao Qinglu pondered for a moment. "What's the maximum size of the tiles? What colors and patterns are available? I'd like the crystal chandelier to look luxurious and elegant. Are there any light gold models? How many heads are there?"
After hearing this, a hint of meaning flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes. "The tiles are 30x30, 45x45, and 30x60, with a thickness of 10mm. The base colors are porcelain white, off-white, beige, light gray, and black, with flowing water patterns, cracks, and marble patterns. The crystal lamps are light gold, with a diameter of 80mm, a height of 70mm, and 32 heads. The data units of these tiles and lamps are all in centimeters. I also have a batch of 3-watt spotlights, with cool white light and warm yellow light. I wonder if Miss Qiao is interested?"
Qiao Qinglu pulled her notepad and pen from her bag and began to write. A 45x45 brick covered 0.2 square meters, and both shops were about 70 square meters each. That would cost 350 yuan, and with a 5% loss allowance, it would be at least 368 yuan. To round it up, she'd ask for 400 yuan each.
For the clothing store, 6 spotlights are installed on each side of the left wall, 4 on the front and 4 on the back; for the electrical appliance store, 4 spotlights are installed on each side of the left wall, 2 on the front.
"Jiang Yu, I want 400 45x45 beige tiles with flowing water patterns, 400 black marble tiles, a 32-light crystal chandelier, 20 warm spotlights, and 14 cold spotlights. Please give me a price and delivery time."
"The tiles are 1.5 yuan, the spotlights are 6 yuan, and the crystal lamps are 5,800 yuan, a total of 7,204 yuan. Although this is not our first collaboration, it's fate. I'll give you a discount, 7,000 yuan. Pay a 1,000 yuan deposit first, and I'll deliver it at Wei's store at 2:00 PM the day after tomorrow."
Qiao Qinglu glanced at Xiao Qinyun, who nodded. Qiao Qinglu tore a piece of paper from her diaper and handed it to Jiang Ye, "Jiang Ye, words are not enough, so a written document will serve as proof. Please write a receipt for the deposit."
Jiang Ye was so angry at her behavior that he laughed. This was the first time someone suspected that he took the money but didn't deliver the goods.
It seems that Awei did not reveal his identity. Well, he is a good person after all.
Jiang Yi took out a Parker gold pen from the handkerchief pocket of his suit, quickly wrote the receipt, and signed his name - Jiang Yaokai.
Qiao Qinglu took the receipt and handed over the money.
Xiao Qinyun thought for a moment and asked, "Jiang Ye is from Hong Kong, right? We want to go to Hong Kong, and I wonder if Jiang Ye can help us."
