Chapter 64: old friends
Chapter 64 Old friends from the past
Ning Xi picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the paper.
The salesman stared at a few words written randomly on the paper, "The girl's handwriting is really beautiful. Are you a teacher?"
“Student.” Ning Xi pursed her lips and replied, covering the pen and putting it down. Her eyes inadvertently scanned the words on the paper, Zhou Wanglong.
Is it the Zhou Wanglong that I know?
She looked at the other person calmly, and only after this inspection did she confirm that this person was really Zhou Wanglong, whom she had known in her previous life.
In her previous life, when Ning Xi met Zhou Wanglong, he was already a shareholder and sales director of Hecheng Shengxie Pharmaceutical Company. It is said that when Zhou Wanglong went to Shengxie Pharmaceutical Company to run sales, Shengxie Pharmaceutical Company was still just an unknown small company.
It only took Zhou Wanglong just five years to promote Xie Pharmaceutical Company's products nationwide and let the country know its existence. Although this has something to do with the company's products, without strong sales, no matter how good the product is, no one will promote it. It's no use either.
This is the same principle as a good horse with a good saddle.
Ning Xi smiled slightly and asked, "I guess your accent is from Hecheng!"
“Is my accent that strong?”
“A bit.” Ning Xi smiled again, “Hecheng is quite far away from our Sichuan capital, why did you come here to do sales promotion?”
“Our factory opened a branch factory in Gaoyuan City, and I was sent to develop the market.”
That makes sense. Jiang City also belongs to Sichuan Province. It is not far from Jiang City where Ning Xi is located. It can be reached by train in one day.
Ning Xi nodded and picked out five pens from the box. "How much do they cost?"
"Fifteen yuan each." As if she was afraid that Ning Xi would think he was lying to her, she quickly said, "I guarantee this is definitely the wholesale price. I came here to develop the market, not to buy a few pens."
Ning Xi took out 75 yuan from her bag and handed it to Zhou Wanglong, "This pen is worth this price, but the wholesale price is only 15 yuan. It's really difficult to open up the market here."
A hint of bitterness flashed in Zhou Wanglong's eyes, and then he said confidently, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as one shop is willing to keep my pen, countless merchants will keep my pen in the future."
It seems that Zhou Wanglong has difficulties in coming here to develop the market, and that’s right. A smart person like him doesn’t know the current economic situation in Yijiang City, and there is no way he can afford such an expensive pen.
"I quite like your indomitable character. I have opened a small food processing workshop in Yaoxiang Town. If you can't make it in your current factory, you can come to my place and give me a try. The basic salary is 50, and you can take a commission if you want. Depends on the product.”
Basic salary is 50 RMB, plus commission.
This girl really just opened a small workshop?
No, didn’t she say that she was still a student?
Are all students now making their own workshops?
Zhou Wanglong sat there in a daze, unable to regain his consciousness even if he helped her.
Ning Xi didn't say anything. When Lu Xu and Lu Nan had put down their chopsticks, Ning Xi stood up and pushed Lu Nan to leave. "If you are interested, you can come to Yaoxiang Town Zhenghua Garment Factory. That is my eldest brother's factory. He can lead You found me."
After coming out of the noodle shop, the three of them got in the car and went straight to the Machinery City.
On the way, Lu Xu couldn't help but asked, "Xiao Xi, you need sales, I can introduce you to a few."
Ning Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't be in a hurry when it comes to finding sales. I just think this person is quite interesting, so I reached out to recruit him." Lu Xu nodded and said nothing more.
Lu Nan, on the other hand, glanced at Ning Xi calmly. Could that guy from Hecheng be someone his daughter-in-law knew in her previous life?
The car soon arrived at the Machinery City. The Machinery City was still under construction, and the road was under construction. Trucks could not pass, so they had to get off the car and walk.
The road was filled with potholes and dirt roads. Occasionally, cars passing by would raise layers of dust, which made Ning Xi choke and keep coughing.
Across the road is the Machinery City. There are all kinds of machines here, and you can buy anything you want.
After shopping around, I finally chose a manufacturer with a reasonable price and bought two sealing machines. After loading the sealing machines into the car, Ning Xi asked again, "Brother, is there a large flea market in the city?" ?”
"Flea market..." Lu Xu thought for a while before saying, "There is a big flea market in the West District."
Lu Xu raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. "It's probably not too late to rush to the West District now. Is there anything important you want to buy?"
"I want to buy a refrigerator and go back to make popsicles." Refrigerators are a luxury product in this era. An imported one costs at least more than 4,000 yuan, and a domestic one costs more than 2,000 yuan. The terrible thing is that you have money. You may not be able to buy it yet.
Whether making popsicles, fruit tea, ice powder, or sour plum soup, a refrigerator is needed. When Ning Xi came over, she wanted to go to the flea market. If she could find a second-hand refrigerator, her plan could come true. .
“Refrigerators may not be for sale, so we can only go there and take a look around.” Lu Xu asked the two of them to get in the car and drove straight to the West District.
Just as Lu Xu said, refrigerators may not be for sale. The three of them searched all the flea markets but could not find any refrigerators.
After walking around all afternoon, Ning Xi was tired, hot and disappointed. The three of them looked a little tired when they came out of the flea market.
As he walked to the car, Lu Xu asked aloud, "Are you going back?"
Before Ning Xi could nod, Zhou Wanglong's voice sounded from behind, "Hey! I met you again."
Zhou Wanglong trotted all the way to the three of them and waved to them with a smile, "Bosses, we are really destined!"
At noon today, Zhou Wanglong seemed to say that he had been wandering around Jiang City for half a month. He even went to the mechanical and electrical city that was being built. I wonder if he had seen anyone selling refrigerators. With the attitude of giving it a try, Ning Xi went out "Brother Zhou, do you know where I can buy second-hand refrigerators?"
"Second-hand refrigerators... I remember seeing some for sale..." Zhou Wanglong recalled carefully and immediately said, "There is a refrigerator in a garage sale shop in the North District."
Ning Xi’s eyes lit up and she immediately asked, “Can you take us there to have a look?”
"It's okay, it's okay..." Zhou Wanglong glanced at his watch, "It's already half past six now. After I accompany you there, I don't have a car to go back to the West District. I've booked a place to stay here."
“It’s okay, we’ll send you over soon.”
With Lu Xu's guarantee, Zhou Wanglong no longer postponed getting in the car and taking the three of them to the thrift store. The refrigerator still looked very new, and it was still running normally. At this moment, the boss happened to have the power plugged in. There are also watermelon and popsicles inside.
After some haggling, Ning Xi took the refrigerator for 500 yuan.
After loading the refrigerator into the car, Lu Xu first drove Zhou Wanglong back to the West District. Knowing that Zhou Wanglong lived in the guest house, Lu Xu proposed that they also stay in the guest house tonight.
It is almost eight o'clock now. There are no street lights on the road at this time, and it is very dangerous to drive at night.
