"If everything goes well, I can buy tens of thousands of pounds of your goods. As for the price, I hope it can be reduced by another 20 percent." Although Cheng Huadong is kind-hearted and not so obsessed with profit, he is a businessman and it is impossible for him not to strive for greater benefits.
"That's not a funny joke." Zheng Dandan looked at Cheng Huadong, looking him straight in the eye. "Do you think the price you want is reasonable?"
"Of course, it doesn't even cost that much to purchase directly from fruit farmers." Cheng Huadong said with a reasonable look.
"But is it of such quality?" Zheng Dandan asked, unyielding. "What I gave you can definitely be called a fine product, right? It's not good to be greedy."
"It's just a little cheaper. Wouldn't it be a shame if we had thousands of kilograms of fruits and vegetables left to waste?" Cheng Huadong smiled, his tone full of suggestion.
"It's just business. Whoever we cooperate with isn't a partner. The worst that can happen is that everything rots in the field. I don't have any expenses, so I won't lose anything." Zheng Dandan was calm and confident. "The price I'm offering you is my bottom line. If you can't accept it, I can only express my regret."
"Can't we give in at all?" Cheng Huadong asked.
"No," Zheng Dandan answered directly. Knowing Cheng Huadong was indeed willing to cooperate, she gave him a way out. "This price still leaves you with plenty of profit margin. And by working with me, your shipping costs will be significantly reduced. The most important thing is that you can make a profit, right?"
"Okay, you've impressed me. I'll go with your current offer." Cheng Huadong said after thinking for a moment. He extended his right hand towards Zheng Dandan. "Happy cooperation."
"It's a pleasure working with you." Zheng Dandan shook hands with him. As she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered the twists and turns she had encountered and couldn't help but ask Cheng Huadong for help. "Can you send someone to take me to the station?"
"Of course, I'll take you there." Cheng Huadong was very gentlemanly and agreed immediately, even driving her there himself.
"Will it be too troublesome?" Zheng Dandan was a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, it will be quick." Cheng Huadong shook his head and strode out the door.
Seeing this, Zheng Dandan could only catch up quickly.
"Did you encounter any trouble when you came here?" In the car, Cheng Huadong stepped on the accelerator and asked Zheng Dandan.
Zheng Dandan didn't know how to respond when she heard his question. The driver was unusual, but she had no concrete evidence to accuse him of any wrongdoing.
After a long silence, she spoke carefully, "I called a tricycle when I came here, but the driver kept wanting to take the back road. Maybe I'm just being suspicious, but there's definitely something wrong."
"I'm sorry, I was inconsiderate." Cheng Huadong apologized to Zheng Dandan very seriously, because it was he who asked Zheng Dandan to come to No. 82 Longxing Street, but did not make proper arrangements, so he took the initiative to take responsibility.
"How can I blame you? It wasn't you who arranged the driver." Zheng Dandan smiled, and all the lingering fear left by the driver had disappeared.
No. 82 Longxing Street was not far from the station, and they arrived at their destination in a short while.
"Thank you." Zheng Dandan thanked Cheng Huadong after getting off the car.
"You're welcome. If I need to discuss something with you next time, I'll send someone to pick you up."
"By the way, do you have an extra car?" Hearing Cheng Huadong's words, Zheng Dandan suddenly recalled a year.
"What car?" Cheng Huadong didn't react for a moment.
"Car." Zheng Dandan pointed at his car and said.
"There is one, what's wrong?"
"Can I rent it, if it's convenient for you?" Zheng Dandan was very excited when she got a positive answer.
Cheng Huadong looked at Zheng Dandan in surprise. He had never expected her to make such a request. "Can you drive?"
"I think so," Zheng Dandan said, a little unsure. She had passed her driving test in the 21st century, but the cars of this era were inevitably a little different.
"If you pass the driving test, I can rent it to you for one hundred yuan a month." Cheng Huadong said to Zheng Dandan.
"Deal!" Zheng Dandan said excitedly, "I'll come find you once I get my driver's license!"
Cheng Huadong looked at her sweet smile and felt a little dazzled.
"good."
"Little sister, I'm here, can you see me?" Fang Xiaoyu, who was wandering around the station, suddenly found Zheng Dandan and waved to her in surprise.
"I'm leaving now. Goodbye." Zheng Dandan said goodbye to Cheng Huadong when Fang Xiaoyu called her, and then walked towards Fang Xiaoyu. "Have you rented a house yet?"
"It's rented. It's over 100 square meters, more spacious than my home!" Fang Xiaoyu was very excited.
Sun Cuilan was a little reluctant at first; it was just over 100 square meters and cost 20 yuan a month! But then she remembered Zheng Dandan said her house was too small and she felt embarrassed to invite anyone in, so she gritted her teeth and signed the lease.
"Mom said there are six rooms in total. She and Dad have one, Jiangong and I have one, my eldest brother and his wife have one, my third brother and you have one each, and the remaining one will be used as a warehouse." Fang Xiaoyu said happily. Finally, these are separate rooms that are not separated by a wooden board at home.
"Big Girl and Pi Dan, what are you going to do?" Zheng Dandan suddenly asked her two nephews and nieces. Two days ago, they went to their great-uncle's house to accompany their great-grandfather. Now that the whole family has moved to the county town, they must come with them.
"Just follow us. We do business and they play beside us." Fang Xiaoyu said without hesitation. In the past, when she went to the fields, the children also followed her to pick up wheat ears and pass rice seedlings.
"There are many people in the county town, so we have to pay special attention to the safety of the children. They are both three years old. If we send them to a nursery, there will be many children of the same age there." Zheng Dandan looked at Fang Xiaoyu and said that. The reason she asked that was because she was afraid that Fang Xiaoyu and the others would get used to it and leave the children around without having time to take care of them.
"Is it okay?" Fang Xiaoyu was a little surprised. The nursery costs money, and basically only working-class families can afford to put their children there!
"Why not?" Zheng Dandan said with a smile.
"Little sister, can you come and talk to mom?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at Zheng Dandan with a flattering tone. She was always a little scared when facing Sun Cuilan.
"OK."
For the safety of her nephew, Zheng Dandan told Sun Cuilan about this matter after arriving at the rented house.
Sun Cuilan initially disagreed, thinking it unnecessary. However, after Zheng Dandan told her to be wary of human traffickers, she finally relented: "Just send Pi Dan. Da Niu is just a girl, there's no way human traffickers would kidnap her."
Upon hearing this, the eldest brother, Zheng Jianye, and his wife's faces darkened. The idea of favoring sons over daughters was too serious. Although they felt disappointed, they didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Mom, you're wrong. Human traffickers are just as interested in girls as they are in boys. Giving one away is giving away two, and giving away two is also giving away. Sending them together will give the siblings someone to look after them. Anyway, the cost of sending them to a nursery isn't a big deal for us."
