17: Chapter 17 One hundred units it is, not a single one can be missing!

When Bai Jingqing heard Pang Xietang say that this man was his friend,

and that he wanted to buy 100 phones,

he was instantly shocked.

100 units?!

A major client had arrived!

All morning long,

he had been shouting to attract people,

talking himself hoarse explaining the specs,

and giving away phones to get people to help with promotion.

After all that effort, he had only sold 87 units.

He had originally thought he would sell very few this afternoon,

but he hadn't expected Pang Xietang to bring him such a big customer,

asking for 100 units right off the bat!

"Holy shit, how many?!"

He couldn't help but shout out loud.

At the same time, he couldn't stop himself from thinking,

Pang Xietang, oh Pang Xietang,

you really are a great guy!

I really misjudged you before.

I thought you were working against me at every turn,

thinking you were dark-hearted and treacherous,

but it turns out I was wrong about you!

I should have fucking apologized to you sooner.

Look at you,

if you're not crazy, then what are you?

We're supposed to be competitors!

You fucking introduced such a big client to me,

a major client who wants to buy 100 units as soon as he opens his mouth!

If this isn't you having a screw loose,

then what is it?

I was just worrying that I wouldn't have enough profit points to unlock the new model,

and you're truly handing me a pillow just as I'm getting sleepy!

I was wrong,

after today,

I'll never badmouth you again!

Seeing Bai Jingqing's shocked gaze and unbelievable expression,

Pang Xietang was absolutely blooming with joy inside.

He immediately concluded

that this Bai Jingqing simply couldn't produce that many!

That was why he was acting so shocked.

Tch, and I thought you had prepared a lot of stock to sell?

I thought the capital left behind by Huayao Technology was deeper than this,

I thought this 'starved camel' would be bigger than this,

but it turns out that's all there is to it!

You only sold at most 100 units this morning,

and adding another 100 units this afternoon,

makes less than two hundred units in total,

and you're already out of stock?

He then hurried to mock him, saying: "No way, no way,

it's only 100 phones,

that's not even that many!

Doesn't a phone shop like yours have to sell several hundred units a month?

Besides, isn't it written on your sign outside?

'Unlimited Supply'.

You couldn't possibly be unable to even provide 100 units, right?

You wouldn't destroy your own reputation like this, would you?

You wouldn't slap your own face like this, would you?

I've introduced such a big customer to you,

you wouldn't refuse to give me face, would you?

No way, right? No way?"

Listening to Pang Xietang's string of questions dripping with sarcasm,

and seeing the shocked expression on the young man's face,

Peng Rizhao also immediately understood.

This Pang Xietang clearly had a grudge against this young man;

there was definitely some conflict between the two of them!

Looking at Pang Xietang's sarcastic interrogation,

he knew

that Pang Xietang was using him as a tool!

The young man's price of 1999 for such high specs

was likely meant to drive traffic.

Pang Xietang deliberately had him order 100 units;

on one hand, it would cut off the young man's traffic-driving strategy,

and on the other, who knew how much the young man would lose!

Pang Xietang was precisely trying to use him

to make the young man lose even more,

and then drive the young man into bankruptcy, right?

No one likes being used as a tool.

No one would be happy about it.

At this moment, a sliver of dissatisfaction had already grown in Peng Rizhao's heart,

but he didn't let it show.

Instead, he tried to smooth things over, saying: "Forget it, forget it.

I say, Old Pang,

you really are something.

I never said I wanted 100 units.

Um... I'll take 20,

20 units will do. Young man,

what do you think?

Is 20 units okay?"

When Bai Jingqing heard this,

he got anxious.

"20 units?

That won't do!"

He was truly anxious.

From 100 units to 20 units,

that was a difference of 80 units!

That was a five-fold difference!

How much money would that be?

How many profit points would he miss out on?!

So he repeatedly refused.

Seeing this, Pang Xietang

smiled even more happily.

But he still pressed further: "What?

Even 20 units won't work?!

The 'Unlimited Supply' written at your door,

did you write that yourself?

Let me ask you, if you can't even produce 20 units now,

how do you have the face to keep that sign up?

Hurry up and tear down the sign at the door!

Just put up the real price for these specs already.

Putting on a show like this is embarrassing enough!

Look at you, claiming unlimited supply,

but it turns out to be limited after all,

making my brother here come all this way for nothing!"

Pang Xietang felt victory was within his grasp, full of confidence.

Thinking about it,

selling these specs for 1999

was simply too good a deal.

He actually wanted to buy a couple himself.

He must have sold quite a few during the morning and lunch hour,

and with Peng Rizhao's 100 units coming up,

that should just about do it.

No matter how much capital this kid had, how deep could it be?

Once Peng Rizhao took all the stock,

this kid would have to raise his prices, wouldn't he?

He couldn't help but marvel at the brilliance of his own scheme.

Seeing Bai Jingqing say that even 20 units wouldn't work,

he directly took the moral high ground to criticize him.

"Even 20 units won't work,

then aren't you making my friend here come for nothing?

Now, either you bring out the stock,

or you have to apologize to my friend!"

Listening to Pang Xietang's clamor,

Peng Rizhao was also starting to get a bit angry.

Pang Xietang was completely using him as a tool!

Now he was trying to shift the conflict onto him and the young man!

However, he ultimately suppressed his anger.

Worst case scenario, he'd just wasted a trip.

But he still tried to say: "Then forget about the 20 units too.

I don't want 20 units anymore.

Actually, 5 units is enough.

Is 5 units okay?

Young man, otherwise I really will have come for nothing.

If you really have to, take a small loss

and sell me 5 units, okay?"

Bai Jingqing shook his head repeatedly: "5 units?

That's even more impossible!

Are you playing with me?

No! No way!

Absolutely not!

5 units is definitely not okay!"

Peng Rizhao felt like he was being toyed with.

Clearly, he was the one who had wasted his trip,

yet this young man turned around and accused him of playing games.

He was clearly the one being played!

He said angrily: "Even 5 units won't work?

Can I only buy one?

Are you refusing to sell to phone dealers?

If you won't sell,

you should have said so earlier!

You've really made me come all this way for nothing!

And you, Old Pang!

You should have made sure of the facts before calling me here.

Aren't you just messing with me?"

Pang Xietang said: "How was I to know this kid was so unreliable?

Didn't you see what's written at the door?

'Unlimited Supply'!

What does unlimited supply mean?

It means they have as many as you want.

Who could have guessed this kid couldn't even produce 5 units?

Really, if you're this pathetic, don't put out a sign like that, okay?

It's embarrassing!"

As he spoke, he pulled Peng Rizhao toward his own shop,

saying as he went: "Boss Peng, please calm down.

I apologize to you;

this was my mistake.

Look, since you couldn't get the xiaomi 4,

I just happen to have some new Li Xiang Phone stock in.

Why don't you come in and take a look?"

Seeing the two of them turning to leave,

Bai Jingqing hurriedly grabbed Peng Rizhao.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking?

Don't listen to Pang Xietang's bullshit.

When did I say 5 units wouldn't work?

When did I say it was a limited supply?

When did I say I wouldn't sell to phone dealers?

If it's 100 units, then it's 100 units—

not a single one less!"
