Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 251 - 147: An Unexpected Encounter with He Jing and Long-Buried Yearnings!
"Mr. Jiang, are you looking to purchase 100,000 pots?"
Liu Yuan was worried she misheard and confirmed the quantity with Jiang Tao once more.
100,000 pots is no small number.
Not only was He Jing surprised, but Liu Yuan was equally astonished!
The company had been open for more than ten years and had never received such a large order!
"Yes, if the price is right, I’m ready to purchase 100,000 pots all at once."
Jiang Tao smiled and repeated what he just said.
This time, he emphasized the words "if the price is right."
Liu Yuan tentatively asked, "Mr. Jiang, what is your target price?"
"It depends on your sincerity."
Jiang Tao smiled and tossed the ball back to Liu Yuan.
"Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment. I’ll leave you with Jingjing to entertain you."
Liu Yuan instructed He Jing before getting up from her seat and went outside with her phone to make a call.
For a deal of this size, she couldn’t decide on her own and needed to consult with her husband, Xu Xinglei.
"Hey, honey..."
Liu Yuan called Xu Xinglei and reported the results of her discussion with Jiang Tao.
Xu Xinglei was equally taken aback when he heard the order quantity from Jiang Tao.
100,000 pots, which was almost all the blueberry pots in their inventory!
Time is money.
If they relied solely on their current sales channels, selling 100,000 blueberry pots would easily take a year or more.
With that time, they could plant several crops of strawberries!
"How about 8 RMB? We can make a little less profit, it doesn’t matter. Time is money."
After a long pause, Xu Xinglei finally shared his target price on the other end of the line.
The cost price of those blueberry pots was nearly 7 RMB, so selling at 8 RMB per pot meant just over 1 RMB in profit.
Currently, their wholesale price for distributors was 10 RMB, and they sold it online at a retail price of 18 RMB.
This time, reducing the price directly to 8 RMB was certainly a sign of sincerity!
"Alright, I’ll go back and tell him."
Liu Yuan knew this must be the lowest price, and she returned to the office after hanging up, sitting across from Jiang Tao.
"Mr. Jiang, I just conferred with my husband, and the lowest price we can offer you is 8 RMB per pot."
"This price, even nationwide, is absolutely one of the lowest. You won’t get a raw deal, and you won’t be fooled."
Liu Yuan was straightforward and didn’t intend to negotiate further with Jiang Tao; she went straight to the bottom line.
"Agreed!"
Jiang Tao appreciated doing business with someone so direct like Liu Yuan.
Once he got the lowest price tip from Brother Tongzi, he knew when to stop and didn’t haggle anymore.
This behavior earned him a lot of goodwill from Liu Yuan and He Jing, the sisters.
"When would you be available to sign the contract, Mr. Jiang?"
After the price was settled, Liu Yuan was eager to sign the contract soon to prevent any further complications.
Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Right now is fine, President Liu, please bring the contract."
"Okay, please wait a moment, and I’ll go print the contract. Jingjing, keep Mr. Jiang company."
Liu Yuan instructed He Jing again and went out to print the contract.
"..."
He Jing had already kept Jiang Tao company twice in such a short time.
Most of the topics had already been discussed.
After her cousin assigned her the task, she racked her brains to find topics to continue the awkward conversation with Jiang Tao.
After about ten minutes of chatting, Liu Yuan returned with two freshly printed contracts, coming back slowly.
Jiang Tao and Liu Yuan, representing the seller and the buyer, signed the contract, after which Jiang Tao immediately transferred 50% of the payment, 400,000 RMB, to Liu Yuan.
The remaining half would be settled entirely after Xinlei Agricultural Company completed the delivery.
Additionally, Jiang Tao also rented a greenhouse from Xinlei Agricultural for one month to store the 100,000 blueberry pots he bought. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Of course, the rental fee for the greenhouse was separate, 10,000 RMB for the month, with utilities priced separately.
"Mr. Jiang, I wish us a pleasant collaboration!"
"President Liu, may our collaboration be smooth! You can arrange for the blueberry pots to be moved to the greenhouse I rented as soon as possible."
After signing the contract and finalizing the payment, Jiang Tao and Liu Yuan shook hands, both smiling with the satisfaction of reaching their goals.
"Alright, Mr. Jiang, I’ll make the arrangements shortly. Everything will be moved by tomorrow."
Liu Yuan readily agreed with a cheerful smile, not suspecting anything amiss.
"Then I’ll leave it to you, President Liu. I have other matters in the afternoon, so I won’t stay any longer."
With that, Jiang Tao stood up from his seat, ready to leave.
"Take care, Mr. Jiang."
"Take care, Brother Jiang. Come visit often~"
Liu Yuan and He Jing together saw Jiang Tao out the door.
Once Jiang Tao was out of sight, Liu Yuan suddenly turned around and burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face.
"Jingjing, you really... hahaha..."
With the "victim" gone, Liu Yuan laughed for more than three minutes straight.
He Jing, the instigator, felt so embarrassed she almost scuffed the soles of her shoes.
The incident of spraying water on Jiang Tao’s face today was something she would never live down!
...
"First piece of intel secured~"
"In a few days, when Xu Xinglei sees the blueberry pots become a hit, will he regret selling to me?"
Imagining the scene of blueberry pots becoming immensely popular in a few days, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but smile mischievously.
However, in business, it’s just business; he had nothing to feel guilty about, and he didn’t owe Xu Xinglei anything.
The basic skills of doing business involve understanding market price trends and timing the sale of products; profits and losses depend entirely on one’s ability.
