Chapter 009: Major clients are all closely monitored
"Qing Ge, you are too conservative." Guo Dalu turned around, "You need to have that kind of optimistic spirit that we can sell all the watermelons in no time."
Haha, then it's settled, we shall meet tomorrow
It is not necessary; the key is sincerity
Wang Wenwu, Guo Tingkai: "... ..." a small cart
What can 100 merit points be exchanged for in terms of red envelopes? Guo Dalu pondered for a moment and then typed the four characters "Please, Immortal, Assist the Phoenix" and sent them to Sun Wukong
Guo Tingkaidao: "It may be possible, but the main road will not, because when faced with matters of murder, he will resolve it himself"
The truck is slowing down and is about to stop
"Good." Jiang Pei smiled gently, stroking her daughter's hair with her hand
Jiang Pei turned her head to look out the window, her expression calm and indifferent, no longer burdened by the weight of her thoughts.
What further added to their surprise was that Guo Dalu subsequently spent more than ten minutes negotiating a contract for 10 tons at 35,000.
Guo Qing did not agree and said, "The Great Road has stated that the heart must be sincere, and it has only been a few minutes!"
Hmm. The person nodded, turned around with two companions, and left decisively.
In China, there is an old saying: "Great kindness does not require thanks." Therefore, I will not say much in gratitude. Tomorrow, I would like to treat you to a meal, and I sincerely hope you will not refuse.
Wang Wenwu said: "If you keep staring and crying in the wind, you won't be able to see clearly when the client arrives"
"Dalu, do you think they are trustworthy?" On the car, Guo Ting couldn't help but ask.
Guo Dalu gazed at the Huai River and said in a relaxed tone: "I have a feeling that today will be even smoother than the day before, and there will be unexpected surprises."
Jasmine nodded seriously and said, "Guo Dalu is a good person. The next time I see him, I will give him a box of chocolates"
The truck sped towards us, and then... it whizzed past.
Guo Dalu nodded and said: "Alright, I will give you this vehicle. Since it's the first time, I won't charge you two yuan; let's settle on a flat price of one yuan and eighty fen."
At five o'clock the next morning, a truck set off from Guoqiao, driving towards Qucheng in the faint morning light
Wang Wenwu said: "Oh my, this is incredible, a major client has arrived! Wow, what a significant client, everyone take a look!"
At this moment, Guo Dalu, the good person, was in a good mood, possibly due to helping Jiang Pei find her biological parents. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that the merit box had accumulated 100 merit points.
That said, Guo Tingkai, Guo Qing, and Wang Wenwu still felt a bit apprehensive in their hearts. It was not until the person who was to negotiate with them appeared that this apprehension gradually subsided. Once the other party finished unloading the goods and made the payment, a genuine sense of joy began to spread wildly in their hearts
Wang Wenwu smiled and said, "That makes sense"
As night falls, the taxi speeds along the highway back to Xiang County
Impressive! Exactly 5,000 pounds. This time, facing professionals in the field, Guo Dalu did not boast about anything like nine thousand or ten thousand.
Guo Dalu continued to ask: "What about the price?"
Guo Qing seemed to have not yet reacted.
"Surely you are not here to buy watermelons, are you?" Guo Ting said.
"Even with a 20% discount, there are still 20 merit points short..." Guo Dalu raised his head in contemplation, "It seems that I should try to do as many good deeds as possible in the future"
The person smiled and said, "Then it's uncertain; you have as much as I want, is that acceptable?"
"Hope so," Guo Ting said.
The person said nonchalantly: "One yuan and eighty cents is fine, two yuan is also acceptable; it depends on the quality of your watermelon."
A few minutes later, three individuals approached, and one of them boldly asked: "Among the four of you, who can take charge?"
Wang Wenwu and Guo Tingkai subconsciously looked towards Guo Dalu, who took a step forward and said, "How should I put it?"
At this moment, Guo Qing had already rushed over upon hearing the news and asked, "What happened? What is the matter?" However, no one answered him
5000 jin is 5000 jin, at 1.8 per piece, that totals to 9000 pieces, right
However, when they saw Guo Dalu confidently leaning back in his chair and sleeping, they felt considerably more at ease.
Guo Qing stared for ten minutes, the road was completely empty, not even a single bus passed by. Guo Ting suggested, "Qing Ge, why don't we take a break and then continue watching? You're making it too hard on yourself; if you keep this up, you'll end up with nearsightedness."
Guo Dalu: "I generally do not refuse things like treating others to a meal or giving gifts, but I have to go to Qucheng to sell watermelons early tomorrow morning. Therefore, Sister Jiang, let's postpone the meal to next time, but I appreciate your kind gesture."
Daughter Jasmine sat quietly beside her, her small hand tightly gripping her mother's hand. She could not fully comprehend everything that had happened today, but she could sense that her mother was in a good mood
Guo Qing said: "I do not wish for much; if I can sell out before dark, I will be grateful to heaven and earth"
An hour later, the car arrived at the cable bridge spanning the Huai River, stopping in an open area at the bridgehead, preparing to feign a breakdown
Jiang Peidao: "That's alright, I will also go to Qucheng tomorrow, and I will take Jasmine to stroll around Qucheng. In any case, I must treat you to this meal, so you don't need to decline any further."
How much do you want?" Guo Dalu said calmly
Upon returning to the hotel, Jiang Pei made a phone call to Guo Dalu to express her gratitude
That person glanced and said: "Not more than 3 tons"
Guo Dalu also smiled upon hearing this
Despite the success of the last case, Guo Qing, Guo Tingkai, and Wang Wenwu still lack sufficient confidence, as the previous success was largely due to luck rather than technical proficiency
During the negotiation process, Guo Dalu's precise understanding and speculation of the other party's thoughts, as well as his accurate and clever choice of words, left Guo Qing and the other two greatly impressed.
Wang Wenwu nodded, thinking to himself that this statement was indeed true. Guo Dalu was the kind of person who would never betray his friends, which was one of the reasons why Wang agreed to partner with him in the first place.
Jiang Pei hung up the phone and said to her daughter, "Dear, did you see? There are always more good people in this world than bad ones"
Guo Qing chuckled and said, "Alright, I will keep an eye on it now." As he spoke, he walked to the roadside, turned his head towards the direction of the market, and asked, "Da Lu, is this observation just pure observation, or do I need to recite any incantations or commands?"
Guo Tingkai turned his head to look over and exclaimed, "Oh, it seems to have really stopped."
"Unfortunately..." Wang Wenwu sighed, "I missed it."
Well, see you tomorrow
There is no need for a large group of people in their vehicle to spend this time and effort deceiving us
At that moment, a long and piercing sound of a car horn was heard, and soon a large truck came rushing by, likely a long-distance freight truck. In comparison, Wang Wenwu's Jianghuai appeared quite small and delicate.
The automatic reply from Sun Wukong suddenly appeared: "Please assist the celestial being, this is a technique of the character and path of the arts. By mastering this technique, one can communicate with deities, foresee the future, and seek good fortune while avoiding misfortune. To exchange for this technique's red envelope requires 150 merit points, with a 20% discount for the first exchange, only 120 merit points are needed."
It is all right, how many do you have in your car
I wonder how long we have to wait today for a wealthy individual driving an Audi to show up. Wang Wenwu jumped out of the car and joked, today his demeanor was noticeably more positive.
Guo Dalu took the paper and said, "No problem, pleasant cooperation"
Indeed
Please make an estimate first
I estimate that they considered the long journey to be too arduous, so they bought a few watermelons to stave off hunger and cool down along the way said Wang Wenwu
Guo Tingkai and Wang Wenwu both shook their heads with a smile. Wang Wenwu said, "I feel that if the main road were to ask the black bull to kill someone, it might not even refuse."
"It was said that it would be sold out in minutes, get on board," Guo Dalu waved his hand and said
I wouldn't even dare to say that a pocketful would sell out in minutes, let alone an entire truckload of it
Alright, I understand! I will begin now, with sincerity, hmm! Guo Qing is actually staring intently as if it were a serious matter
Guo Tingkai said: "When putting on a show, we need to have all the necessary tools ready, after all, when encountering a breakdown, various repairs are required, which is quite urgent"
Guo Dalu remained silent, gazing at the three individuals
"Okay, I will give you an address, you take the watermelon over there, and someone will be in touch with you. When the time comes, just mention the name Luo Yun," the person said as he took out a pen and paper from his pocket, quickly wrote down an address, and handed it to Guo Dalu.
The large truck stopped by the roadside about two to three hundred meters away from Guo Da Road, and then three people jumped out of the vehicle and walked over this way
Guo Dalu smiled and said, "There is a method: you should now fix your gaze in one direction, without any distracting thoughts in your mind, and focus intently. It is said that if your sincerity is genuine, your benefactor will appear from that direction."
The person sized up Guo Dalu, smiled, and said: "Is this all the watermelons you have, just this small cart? Do you have any stock left?"
