The deal is done!

Li Dadan thought Zhao Dongchuan was considering the financial risks of purchasing goods, but in reality, he misunderstood.

Zhao Dongchuan was actually considering whether to directly use Hypnotism to "subdue" Li Dadan and turn him into his loyal subordinate!

He reviewed some details before and after meeting Li Dadan. It seemed that aside from Li Dadan scamming him out of a meal, their other collaborations had been quite pleasant.

He hadn't offended him.

Moreover, ever since he frequently used Hypnotism last time, which led to his mental exhaustion and a dizzy spell, he had become cautious about Hypnotism, trying not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

What if Li Dadan had a strong will, and instead of succeeding, he was counter-attacked by his own Hypnotism? That would be a real disaster.

He didn't want to cut off this connection.

Li Dadan was still there, calmly crossing his legs and sipping his tea.

He had no idea that he had almost become a "puppet" of Zhao Dongchuan, with his life not even his own.

"Alright, I agree to your terms, but you also have to agree to one condition of mine!" Zhao Dongchuan said with conviction.

"As expected, you're straightforward, Brother Han. Tell me, if I can agree, I definitely will!" Li Dadan said, patting his chest in a seemingly generous manner, but in reality, leaving room for negotiation.

"It's not difficult. My request is also very simple: I must be present throughout the entire process when you receive the goods, watching my goods arrive at the designated location!"

In business, this was not the time to be polite. Although the price hadn't been calculated yet, the purchase price of this batch of goods would be at least tens of thousands, basically emptying all his assets.

He had no choice but to be cautious!

Li Dadan listened to Zhao Dongchuan's request and, after a moment of consideration, nodded in agreement.

"No problem. Once you pay the deposit, these goods will be yours, Brother Han, so you can naturally be present throughout. However, once the goods are inspected and delivered, you'll have to pay the remaining balance, not a single cent less!" Li Dadan said with a squinting smile.

At this moment, he had the air of a formidable figure in his casual conversation!

After the general direction was settled, the two then engaged in "sincere and friendly" negotiations on specific details and the purchase prices of various products. After several rounds of spirited discussion, the two finally reached an agreement.

"Alright, it's settled!"

"500 electronic watches, 300 electronic calculators, 300 radios, 1000 flashlights, 3 cameras..."

"I'll give you an 80% discount on the retail purchase price. It comes out to 25,100 yuan. I'll round it down for you to 25,000 yuan! What do you think?" This large order made Li Dadan's eyes crinkle with a smile.

"Alright, I have no problem! Let's go with that!" Zhao Dongchuan nodded.

This price indeed offered a significant discount. He had previously observed prices in the black market and had a good idea of the cost of these products.

The price of these radios, after calculation, was much cheaper than those at the supply and marketing cooperative, and most importantly, they didn't require coupons.

For example, although a flashlight only sold for 1-2 yuan, it still required a coupon. These items he was bringing back didn't require coupons, and he could even add a little to the original price, making the profit quite substantial.

The electronic calculators were simplified versions made in Hong Kong, imitating Casio, with only basic addition and subtraction. The price wasn't too expensive, so he would try them out. The sales cycle might be a bit longer.

He planned to keep one camera for himself, and sell the remaining two if he could... If not, he would display them. They were considered a prestige item!

Zhao Dongchuan secretly mused that this round of purchases would use up most of his savings. He would have to plan carefully later, not just selling in Huangyuan City, but considering expanding into new markets.

With the matter settled, he didn't dally. He took out a bundle of Da Tuanjie bills from his bag and handed them to Li Dadan.

Li Dadan took them directly and counted them.

"That's the correct amount. I'll contact the suppliers today... In five days, come back here to find me, and I'll take you to the delivery location!" Li Dadan confirmed the deposit was correct, then slowly said after a moment of thought.

Zhao Dongchuan nodded and said, "Old Li, don't disappoint me!" He said with an implied meaning.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it, trust me!" Li Dadan said with a laugh.

"Oh, and about that rental, please keep an eye out for me!"

"Don't worry, worst case, I'll let you use this place as a warehouse. I'll rent it to you! With this as a backup, you won't have to worry, right?"

Zhao Dongchuan nodded. This place was indeed acceptable; it would certainly work as a warehouse.

With their business concluded, Zhao Dongchuan didn't linger and promptly took his leave.

Watching Zhao Dongchuan's receding figure, Li Dadan slowly dropped his smile and became silent. He then looked at the untouched cup of tea and fell into deep thought...

Zhao Dongchuan rode his bicycle towards the guesthouse, replaying the recent events in his mind.

If things went smoothly and he brought the goods back, the profit would definitely be very substantial.

If something went wrong, it would only be 1,000 yuan... And his money wasn't that easy to swindle... He hoped this "Old Li" was an honest person, not swayed by the huge sum of money, and could stick to his principles, not thinking about anything else... Otherwise... he would have to find another channel in Hong Kong.

However, in that case, he would have to consider whether to go to Hong Kong under the identity of "Mr. Han"...

He would take it one step at a time!

Shaking his head and clearing his cluttered thoughts, Zhao Dongchuan sped up his cycling.

......

By the time he returned to the guesthouse, it was almost noon. He had originally planned to find a small eatery nearby or eat the "frozen" food he brought from his space.

However, he didn't expect someone to be waiting for him.

"Brother Dongchuan, you're back?"

Hu Jianjun was leaning against a car, puffing on a cigarette. Seeing Zhao Dongchuan return, he immediately stood up to greet him.

"Jianjun, smoke a little less! Smoking too much isn't good for you!"

"Hehe, I can't help it. Sometimes when I'm driving long distances, it's hard to pass the time without a cigarette!"

Hu Jianjun flicked the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped on it with his foot.

"Brother Dongchuan, are you busy today? Want to go for a drive with me?"

"Sure, I don't have much to do!"

Zhao Dongchuan got into the car with Hu Jianjun and sat in the passenger seat.

"Rumble!"

The car started!

The two chatted as they drove, watching the rapidly passing scenery outside the window. Zhao Dongchuan, who hadn't had this experience in a long time, quite enjoyed it.

If the road were smoother, with fewer potholes, and not so bumpy, it would be even better!

At this time, most of the roads were dirt roads, full of potholes.

Along the way, many people tried to flag down the car, hoping for a ride. Since the passenger seat was already occupied, Hu Jianjun didn't stop.

They drove all the way to the garment factory. After entering the compound, Hu Jianjun made the handover and waited for the workers to load the goods.

A person who looked like a leader from the garment factory walked over and offered a cigarette to both of them.

"Little Hu, is this your new colleague? He looks unfamiliar!"

"Section Chief Qian, this is my friend. I'm taking him for a drive!"

Zhao Dongchuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I'm sorry, I don't smoke! Thank you!"
