8: Take advantage of any freebies you can find.
Si Nan stiffened her neck and turned her head, saying, "It's real, and I dare to buy it."
The boss suddenly gave a sinister laugh. "Don't talk big. Any one of these here costs tens of thousands. You?"
"This, this, this—and these, I want them all, card!" Si Nan's small hand pointed like falling beans, almost picking out all the high-tech weapons in the storeroom. She then pulled out a black gold card, stopping the boss's astonished mouth.
The boss stood rooted to the spot like a scallion planted in the soil, utterly stunned.
Si Nan waved the black gold card back and forth in front of the boss's eyes. "Boss? Do I need to pack them myself?"
The boss, having recovered, quickly shook his head. "No, no, hahaha, I'll pack them right away. Please, sit upstairs and have some refreshments; the staff will have them packed in no time."
The boss's wide waist even twisted with excitement. This was over 2 million yuan! This little girl was actually so rich, casually pulling out a black gold card. Time to rev up the engine and fleece her.
"We have some other weapons; would you like to take a look?"
"I'll just buy these for today."
How could Si Nan not know the boss's ulterior motives? She changed the subject and said impolitely, "Before I pay, how many small, overlooked weapons can the boss give me as a gift?"
"Oh, my beautiful lady, what are you saying? As long as you like them, just pick ten." The boss's tone had completely changed.
Si Nan shivered with disgust, instantly putting distance between herself and the boss. She decisively held up two fingers: "Twenty!"
"Ah? Good, good, good. Miss, you certainly don't let yourself be taken advantage of." Although the boss felt a pang, he was in a good mood, considering it an investment for future business.
Si Nan secretly curled her lips. She wasn't shy about taking advantage of easy gains. She picked all the weapons she had most wanted when she first came in. The boss, following behind her, trembled with heartache; his barrel-like waist shook twenty times.
Every time Si Nan picked one, he would shake once. He thought Si Nan would only pick some small knives, nunchaku, or small stun guns. Who would have thought she'd pick all his best destructive weapons on display, not missing a single one!
But he had already promised Si Nan. This girl was shrewd. She held the black gold card and reminded him that if he went back on his word, she wouldn't buy anything. So, he could only clench his teeth and bleed internally.
Only after everything was packed and loaded into the car did Si Nan return to swipe her card for payment.
The boss's plump hand, with a forced smile, waved enthusiastically. "Beautiful lady, come again often! A new batch of goods will arrive next week."
"I'll consider it, and Boss should also consider the prices." Si Nan said only this, waved her hand with her back to the boss, and drove straight away.
Seeing her drive away, the boss immediately changed his expression and cursed, "Idiot!"
Upon reaching her next destination, Si Nan reached out and stored the weapons in her space. She got out of the car and walked in, heading to a factory to look at generators.
The manager who received her had a much better character than the weapon shop boss. He enthusiastically introduced, "May I ask what kind of generator this young lady is selecting for her company? Are you looking for imported or domestic ones?"
"I want one that consumes less fuel and has high power, but don't you produce domestic ones yourselves?" Si Nan asked.
"Yes, we produce our own, but almost half of them are exported. We are also one of the best in the industry, but we also act as agents for imported generators."
The manager's attitude was very good and patient.
"I want domestic, the best ones. The price can be negotiated." Si Nan nodded.
"Then please follow me."
After several rounds of selection and bargaining, Si Nan chose three of the best domestic generators: low noise, low fuel consumption, smart, and environmentally friendly. The total price was over 3 million yuan, averaging over 1 million yuan per unit.
The manager was very kind. Without Si Nan even asking, he gave her many things, such as insulation mats, radiation-proof mats, repair tools, and so on.
Si Nan then asked the boss, "Do you have any fuel in stock? However much you have, I'll take it. This is the second deal, so it depends on the price."
"Hahaha, good, Miss is straightforward, and as a man, I won't be long-winded." The manager didn't think much of it, assuming Si Nan was purchasing for a company. For long-term cooperation, he gave her the lowest price for 200 tons of oil.
Si Nan, using the pretext of being on official business, asked the manager, "Our company uses a large amount, and this might not be enough. How soon can I get more oil? However much I can get, I'll take it."
Such a large quantity would shock anyone, but as the manager of an import-export company, he didn't suspect anything. "If that's the case, Miss, please come back in three days. There won't be more than 200 tons; this is the maximum amount our company can dispatch."
Si Nan seized on the important information. "So, can I get 200 tons of oil every three days?"
The manager shook his head repeatedly. "No, not that much. This is the amount we've accumulated over a month without selling. The reason I agreed to Miss is because your company has a large demand and is straightforward, and we also urgently need to recover funds. I will try to arrange it from other partner companies for you. The normal procurement volume cannot handle so much at once."
"Oh, I see. Still, I have to thank you, Manager. In that case, if the price can be even more favorable, it would be easier for me to discuss with our leader when I go back. The end of the year is approaching, and who knows if oil prices will increase next year? See if he can buy multiple times consecutively?
Doesn't your company also urgently need to recover funds? We both benefit. What do you think, Manager?"
"That's excellent! I will immediately apply to the senior leader for an even better discount for you. Please rest in the office for a moment; I'll make the call right away."
The manager was extremely excited. With these funds recovered, he could also receive a substantial commission.
Si Nan, with her hands behind her back, pretended to look at other machines. "It's fine, you make your call. I'll see if there's anything else I need."
"Good, good, good, please feel free." The manager didn't insist, just walked a bit further to make the call. He quickly returned. "Hahaha, the leader reluctantly agreed! He said if you can continue to take 200 tons three more times, he'll give you a 10% discount on the total price based on the current price."
Si Nan immediately frowned. "Manager, I already bought the first 200 tons, and I won't say anything about that price; I'll figure out how to explain it to my leader when I get back."
But taking another three times, I don't think it's a big problem, but the total amount adds up to a considerable sum, and the price is—too high!"
The manager's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had made up his mind. "Miss Si, please wait. I'll go all out; I'll apply one more time."
Si Nan raised an eyebrow, able to save another hundred thousand yuan. She lamented that money really flew fast; it was only the second day, and ten million was gone. She couldn't help but touch her black gold card in her pouch, feeling it thinning daily.
Suddenly, she remembered the one Luo Sen gave her: "That's right, I haven't spent a single cent of his yet, and I've already hoarded a room full of goods for him. No, I have to give it back."
Si Nan immediately tightened her grip on Luo Sen's black gold card.
