19: Chapter 19 Cash on Delivery

After hanging up the phone,

and listening to Xue Haixin paint more grand visions for him,

Pang Xietang was once again satisfied.

Putting down his phone,

he watched as several more customers arrived across the street,

entering Bai Jingqing's shop

to ask about the new phones.

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Pang Xietang's mouth again.

It should be about time, right?

He estimated that the kid had sold nearly 200 phones today alone.

How much stock could he possibly have to keep selling like this?

Furthermore, once Peng Rizhao actually buys those 100 phones,

and other peers in the industry catch wind of this news,

they might also come to Bai Jingqing's shop to stock up.

They might not believe him,

but the facts were right there.

He didn't believe these phone peddlers wouldn't be tempted!

This would greatly accelerate the progress of Bai Jingqing selling phones at 1,999,

and he should soon be unable to hold out and have to raise prices!

To come up with such a scheme,

I'm a freaking genius!

Thinking this, he turned on the bulky desktop computer in his room,

found a phone number for advertisements,

and dialed it.

"Yes, print the posters a bit larger for me.

What's the content?

It roughly includes the following aspects,

and you guys can help me design it then.

Take this down.

Yes, first, the shop is hot-selling the entire Ideal Phone A8 Series,

at the lowest price in the city,

with unlimited supply.

Yes, emphasize 'Lowest Price in the City' for me..."

Pang Xietang had already started preparing the posters.

This couldn't be like the phones he sold before,

where just writing a few big characters at the door was enough.

He intended to make this a key promotion,

specially making several decent-looking posters

to make it look more grand.

When the time comes, he'd post several of them.

It had to look more formal than the shop across the street,

so he could attract all the customers from across the street to his side!

Thinking of such a scene on that day,

and imagining Bai Jingqing's exasperated look,

Pang Xietang felt his whole body trembling.

Just thinking about it was exciting!

Meanwhile, Peng Rizhao quickly went to the bank to withdraw cash.

By the time he returned to Bai Jingqing's phone shop, it was already evening.

"Little Boss Bai, I've brought the money,

but can I inspect the phones first?"

Just now, he was only focused on bickering with Pang Xietang and Bai Jingqing,

feeling that the price didn't match the specs

and that Bai Jingqing couldn't possibly have that much stock to sell.

But while withdrawing the money, he suddenly realized

that he hadn't even seen the phone yet!

What if the actual specs of the phone weren't like what was written?

What if this was a setup by Old Pang and the young man across the street?

Otherwise, how could there be a phone with such high specs at such a low price?

So, after returning to the phone shop with the money,

the first thing he did was tell Bai Jingqing he wanted to see the phones.

Bai Jingqing said, "Of course, no problem!

There's a display unit here.

Take a look at it first."

With that, he handed the display unit to Peng Rizhao.

Peng Rizhao took it and played with it briefly,

mainly checking several specs.

It was indeed exactly as the sign at the door advertised,

without any discrepancies.

However, just because this one was fine

didn't mean the 100 units he wanted to buy would all be fine.

Many manufacturers pass off inferior goods as high-quality ones,

using a genuine phone for the display unit,

but delivering total junk when it's time to hand over the goods.

This was especially likely with knock-off brands that had no brand guarantee.

He had encountered this before,

and it had screwed him over quite badly at the time.

When he wanted to seek accountability later, the knock-off manufacturer had already gone bankrupt and vanished.

He could only swallow his pride and accept his bad luck.

Now, he had subconsciously categorized this xiaomi 4 as a knock-off.

After all, before this,

where had he ever heard of any xiaomi phone?

The name sounded very casual,

very low-end,

as if it were a name chosen on a whim,

sounding just like a knock-off.

He asked again, "Little Boss Bai,

have you prepared the goods I want?"

Bai Jingqing nodded. "Of course they're ready.

I was just waiting for Boss Peng to come over."

Saying that, he went to the back and used a hand truck to wheel out several neatly stacked piles of phones,

pushing them in front of Peng Rizhao.

Peng Rizhao randomly picked one from the pile,

decisively tore off the plastic seal,

opened the box,

took out the phone inside,

and turned it on.

Bai Jingqing just watched from the side,

not saying anything.

He knew that Peng Rizhao still didn't trust his goods,

but this was the first transaction between the two,

so being a bit careful was not a fault.

After Peng Rizhao turned it on,

he played with it briefly again,

also checking the internal specs.

It was no different from the display unit.

Bai Jingqing said, "Boss Peng can rest assured.

My shop is right here,

and I can't exactly run away.

If there's any problem with any of the machines,

just come back to me,

and I'll give you a refund or exchange."

Peng Rizhao gave a chuckle

and said, "Little Boss Bai, I hope you can understand.

I'm also afraid of problems.

I've been cheated like this before.

After all, it's my first time seeing such a cheap phone with such high performance; it felt a bit unreal.

But now that I've randomly picked one and found no issues,

there shouldn't be any problems.

I believe you, Little Boss Bai!"

Bai Jingqing nodded,

not saying much.

Peng Rizhao then handed the package he had prepared long ago to Bai Jingqing.

Inside was the money he had withdrawn.

It was already counted.

If one phone was 1,999,

and he was buying 100,

it should be 199,900.

And there was exactly 199,900 in this bag.

He said, "There's 199,900 yuan in here,

which is 1,999 hundred-yuan bills.

Little Boss Bai, please count it."

Bai Jingqing took it.

In his mind, the system had already begun to prompt: "Congratulations to the host for obtaining 199,900 profit points."

So he didn't count it,

directly putting the money into a cabinet on the side

and saying, "I still trust Boss Peng. No need to count."

With the system verifying the goods for him,

he naturally didn't need to count the money.

But this action made Peng Rizhao feel a bit guilty.

Just now, he didn't trust Little Boss Bai's character

and insisted on inspecting the machine in front of him,

not only inspecting the display unit,

but also randomly picking a brand-new, unopened machine to inspect.

This was judging a gentleman's heart with a petty person's mind!

He said ashamed, "Although Little Boss Bai is young,

he is very bold!

Young and promising, young and promising!"

Bai Jingqing smiled and asked again, "Boss Peng,

you run a phone shop?"

Peng Rizhao: "Yes,

I also have a small phone shop.

It's about the same size as your shop,

but the stock inside isn't as much as yours.

Moreover, our two phone shops are quite far apart.

I'm near the University Town at the west end of the city.

It shouldn't affect Little Boss Bai's business,

after all, the radiation range of my phone shop is also very limited."

There was a prestigious university next to Bai Jingqing's phone shop,

but Peng Rizhao's phone shop was by the University Town,

with five or six undergraduate and vocational colleges.

Although the schools were worse than the university next to him,

the number of students there was much higher than on his side.

So, Bai Jingqing had a new idea.

Bai Jingqing narrowed his eyes with a smile and said, "Then Boss Peng,

I have another new machine here.

Are you interested?"
