33: This woman's got some skills.
"The noodles are chewy and elastic, the broth is fragrant and perfectly seasoned~~"
The young lady's demands must be met, and the freshly made braised beef noodles completely conquered Sheng Aiyi.
She ate and drank everything, leaving only a paper bowl.
If that's not called conquest, what is?
"Here~~"
Lu Fan handed her a napkin, indicating she should wipe the leftover soup stains from the corner of her mouth.
"Name your price! I'll take as much of this as you have!"
Sheng Aiyi took the napkin, elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth, and made an offer with some guilt.
Trying to use business negotiations to cover up her loss of composure.
"This little thing isn't worth much, if Seventh Miss Sheng likes it, I'll just give you some!"
Lu Fan lit a cigarette and casually replied.
Buy instant noodles? How much could this thing be worth, even dogs wouldn't... Sheng Aiyi decisively offered: "One silver dollar per bowl!"
"Sell~~"
Lu Fan instantly overturned the thoughts in his mind, making a 360-degree turn.
A bowl of instant noodles selling for one silver dollar, what kind of concept is that?
Buy for 5, sell for 1000, a 200-fold profit.
Even Breaking Bad's Walter White would shed tears in the wind hearing this, sell, just sell the damn thing.
"This time I only brought some samples, for the full batch, you'll have to wait a few days!"
Lu Fan used the cabinet as cover, taking out all the instant noodles from his space.
Common Kangshuaifu bowl noodles on the market, neatly lined up in a row.
"Seventh Miss Sheng, look, there are all kinds of flavors.
Twelve bowls per box, since you're buying in bulk, I'll round it down for you, 10 silver dollars per box, you decide the order."
That profiteer's face, Sheng Aiyi knew at a glance she was being scammed.
But the price was set by herself, so she could only grit her teeth and order: "Twenty boxes of each flavor first, to test the waters!"
Hearing such a small quantity, Lu Fan lost interest, with just this little stock, who are you trying to embarrass?
Shouldn't have rounded it down for her.
"Ahem~~~"
Seeing Lu Fan's expression droop, Sheng Aiyi regained some ground, a hint of smugness unconsciously curling at the corner of her mouth.
She cleared her throat and got to the point: "Mr. Lu, let's cut to the chase, are you selling these two things?"
Her delicate, fair finger pointed to the watch and lighter on the table.
"Sell, of course I'll sell!"
Lu Fan was just worried he had no outlet to offload these things.
But on second thought, fearing Sheng Aiyi might be teasing him, he added with a serious face: "Seventh Miss Sheng, my things are expensive."
"I understand watches being expensive, I know a bit about the market."
Sheng Aiyi picked up the windproof lighter on the table: "Isn't this just for lighting fires, how expensive can it be?"
"My lighter can light up anywhere except underwater, can others do that?"
Lu Fan confidently walked to the window, pulling a lighter from his pocket.
He opened the window to face the wind and lit it, the pale blue flame ignored the strong river breeze, effortlessly lighting the cigarette in his hand.
"Moreover, this thing can be privately customized later.
You can print companies, beauties, or slogans on it.
The only downside is, it's disposable, once the fuel runs out, its life is over."
Flirting I can only rely on internet gold quotes, but sales I'm professional at.
As the saying goes: compare goods and you'll want to throw them away.
With the comparison, even a novice like Sheng Aiyi could see the windproof lighter's superiority.
She said straightforwardly: "I want it, name your price!"
"Fifty pieces per small box, twenty small boxes per large box, selling two boxes together as a set, no retail!
Seventh Miss Sheng, are you sure you want it?"
Lu Fan clearly stated the quantity and requirements, afraid Sheng Aiyi might feint again.
Sheng Aiyi impatiently urged: "Stop the nonsense, name your price!"
Lu Fan didn't waste words either: "Alright~~ the whole package for two thousand silver dollars!"
"Fine~~ two thousand it is, but I want to be the exclusive seller."
Sheng Aiyi agreed readily, but with an attached condition, her calculations were quite shrewd.
Lu Fan immediately became alert upon hearing this, wanting exclusive rights, this woman does have some skills.
After a brief thought, he proposed his own requirement: "Being exclusive isn't impossible, but the volume has to increase.
At the very least, monthly sales should start at ten boxes."
"Deal!"
Sheng Aiyi sealed the deal, then picked up the watch on the table, gently shaking it towards Lu Fan to indicate a quote.
Seeing this, Lu Fan's lips curled slightly, no matter how shrewd, the fish still bites the hook.
"Seven hundred silver dollars per piece, with a three-year warranty for returns or exchanges if broken."
This price, he had rigorously verified.
Novels say things like a watch worth over a hundred thousand dollars, a watch that can trade for a warship.
That's complete nonsense, wishful thinking.
Currently, the most expensive Patek Philippe on the market tops out at two thousand silver dollars, six hundred dollars.
"You're out of your mind, Vacheron Constantin is around this price, Rolex is only about three hundred silver dollars!
You dare sell me for seven hundred silver dollars, really think I'm a sucker?"
Hearing this price, Sheng Aiyi couldn't help but widen her eyes, full of astonishment.
Facing Sheng Aiyi's doubt, Lu Fan wasn't fazed at all, he calmly explained: "That's not how to look at it.
In terms of quality, my Electronics Market area in Shenzhen Richard Louis absolutely crushes the current Vacheron Constantin.
In terms of design, it leaves them ten Huangpu Rivers behind, definitely top-notch goods.
If it weren't for your face, Seventh Miss Sheng, I'd absolutely double the price."
Lu Fan praised his own goods like a vendor selling melons.
"The thing isn't bad, but your product has no reputation, the market doesn't recognize it, they won't pay for it."
Sheng Aiyi directly ignored it, pinpointing the watch's weakness with sharp accuracy.
Lu Fan was secretly shocked, this woman directly grasped his Achilles' heel, leaving his full bag of sales tactics useless.
"Lower the price! It must be lowered, at the same level as Rolex, 350 silver dollars per piece, I can accept that."
Sheng Aiyi's tone was firm, her attitude resolute, directly halving the price.
Lu Fan inwardly groaned, this woman's bargaining skills were incredibly precise.
Who says rich second-generation heirs are all embroidered pillows stuffed with straw.
Come out!
I promise not to curse you to death.
Have you ever seen a vase this good at bargaining?
Lu Fan calmed his mood, his mind racing quickly, after long consideration, he proposed a solution.
"Seventh Miss Sheng, since we each stick to our own views, how about this.
You prepay my costs, you handle the sales, I take forty percent of the profit."
Hearing this, Sheng Aiyi's lips curled up: "Mr. Lu, how about this, we directly form a partnership.
You handle the products, bring out all the quality goods you have.
I'll fully handle the company's funds and operations, after the goods arrive, I'll prioritize paying your costs, and we split the profit fifty-fifty!"
Once the proposal was out, Lu Fan felt ten thousand grass-mud horses galloping through his heart.
The most skilled hunters often appear as prey!
Directly visualized.
Originally thought he was the hunter, turns out he was the prey in the end.
This woman has some skills.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his mind, he closed his eyes to check the system task and made a decision.
Since you're doing the first move, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth, let's go big directly."
