"So, what’s your number?" Zhen Yu pressed hard. As soon as she heard ’can’t sell’ instead of ’can’t co,’ she was delighted! There’s a chance!
Brother Zhang, overwheld by Zhen Yu’s barrage of rapid-fire questions, got nervous and quickly responded, "Ten percent off!"
Zhen Yu recited her multiplication tables effortlessly, "Six tis nine is fifty-four, so how about five thousand!"
"This price really can’t work! Little sister!" Brother Zhang was almost in tears, do you think it was easy for him to strike this big deal?
This little rascal! She’s slashing hundreds off, one after the other! It’s like cutting out his heart!
"Really can’t work?!" Zhen Yu didn’t quite believe it.
Brother Zhang’s eyes widened, look into my eyes! "Really! It really can’t work!"
Zhen Yu quickly ca up with a solution.
"If you can’t do that price, then lower the specs a bit! Pick components that have similar performance but aren’t big brands to swap in. It’s not like I’m going to use them for many years anyway!"
"What do you an ’not for many years’?!" Brother Zhang let out a sharp cry! He angrily retorted, "All my stuff is top quality! Ensure you can use it for a long ti!"
Zhen Yu’s expression beca slightly stiff. Great! She accidentally blurted out the truth!
What Zhen Yu ant by ’not for many years’ was that electronic products get updated so quickly! She didn’t expect to be misunderstood by Brother Zhang!
She had to clear this up! But how... It was a conundrum! "What I an is... gas!"
"The system requirents for gas keep getting higher and higher! With this configuration, it won’t last a few years! Surely, it will need an upgrade to handle more advanced gas!"
"Now that makes sense." Brother Zhang nodded, easing up his mood.
"Give a little more discount! Let’s do long-term business!" Zhen Yu’s eyes twirled, already devising a bargaining spiel.
"Look! My family runs a computer arcade! It’s not like a one-ti household purchase! If you give a discount this ti, for future computer repairs or parts replacents, I’ll definitely co to you! This way, we can continue to work together. And when my family upgrades, we’ll certainly co back to you! Why would I choose strangers over soone I know, right?"
"Um...you do make a lot of sense, but there are costs for these goods! I can’t sell at a loss, right?"
"Yes, yes, I understand! How about changing the configuration, can we do five thousand a piece?" Zhen Yu said with a smiley face.
Brother Zhang, facing the girl’s flower-like beauty, simply couldn’t say no, and said, "Well, let see..."
---
In the end, Zhen Yu secured nine computers at five thousand each, including one with relatively higher specs.
Of course, she could only take three on the spot! The other six would have to wait for Brother Zhang to coordinate with his supplier to ship them over for assembly.
This was exactly what Zhen Yu wanted. Two were left for Zhang San and Li Si to practice with, and she would take the higher-spec one back to town as a gift.
She chose the most popular gas with the highest player counts to install, and for the two computers with higher specs, Zhen Yu had Brother Zhang install so additional practical software.
After setting up the computers, Zhen Yu also took two Windows 95 system disks and two floppy disks as a bonus.
"Little girl, you’re quite the haggler! Doing business with you is really, sigh..." Brother Zhang sighed as he saw the four off. This ti, he really had a thin profit margin on high volu sales!
After bringing the computers back to the Zhen Family’s place, Zhang San and Li Si’er felt awkward just leaving the computers and walking away, so they helped the mother and daughter organize the room a bit before leaving.
Before leaving, Zhen Yu made plans with the two to have a simple dinner that evening, so that after the al they could familiarize them with computer operations!
——
After a simple lunch, Zhen Yu said bye to her mom and ran to the bookstore on the street to buy books!
Luckily, not many people are buying these kinds of books nowadays! They still had stock!
The monthly issues of "Computer Enthusiast" were not complete, but there were still eight or ten copies! Especially the bound volus! Those are the most practical!
Zhen Yu thought to herself that she must subscribe to a set for her own ho! And when she returns to Laha, she needs to remind Han Mingyue to subscribe to a set as well! It’s quite cost-effective for him and his brother to read together.
For dinner, including Zhen Yan, there were five people. They didn’t drink or chat, just found an affordable restaurant and focused on eating!
After eating, they went straight back ho. With three computers and only two of them turned on, the small dining table could barely accommodate them.
Mrs. Zhen was tidying up, and Zhen Yan envied his sister, watching closely at her side!
After Zhen Yu taught them how to power on the computer, she had Zhang San and Li Si’er pick a ga they liked to play! There was only one goal: get familiar with the keyboard and mouse!
It has to be said, n and gas seem to be a natural fit! Several hours later, the two guys were proficiently using the keyboard and mouse, and the first night’s practice ended here.
"Tomorrow afternoon Brother Zhang and Brother Li can co over! I’m going to the furniture mall in the morning to order eight sets of computer desks and chairs, and they should be delivered in the afternoon. You two co help my mom set them up."
"You’re leaving tomorrow? Then..."
Zhang San didn’t finish his sentence, but Zhen Yu understood what he ant.
"From tomorrow, you’ll officially start working! After the desks and chairs are set up, just co every day from eight in the morning to five in the evening to play gas! I have only one requirent! Within two weeks, you must familiarize yourselves with all the gas on the computer! Also, take these books ho with you to read and learn a bit! When I go back, I’ll compile a basic computer operation tutorial, and in two weeks when I co back, I’ll teach you how to reinstall the system and troubleshoot simple issues."
"That’s it?" Li Si’er asked, looking bemused.
Zhen Yu laughed, "Otherwise? If these brand-new computers have any major problems, I’ll have to go straight to Brother Zhang for a refund!"
Then Li Si’er suddenly realized and said, "Right, right! They’re brand-new! They can’t break!"
But Zhang San was thinking further ahead, "So, after the business starts, what will we mainly be doing?"
"Since we can’t get online now, you don’t have to worry about custors downloading all sorts of ssy stuff. What you need to do is just watch them! They can only play gas, no fiddling around! Things like deleting files are absolutely not allowed! And just because the computer hardware has no issues doesn’t an the software won’t! Generally, minor problems can be solved by restarting the computer, but if restarting doesn’t work, you’ll need to reinstall the system! And in two weeks, the other six computers will be ready to pick up, I will buy so ga discs from Brother Zhang and co back to teach you how to install gas after reinstalling the system!"
"Okay, okay," Zhang San and Li Si’er nodded vigorously, finally getting a rough idea of what their future work would involve.
"You said we can’t get online now? Isn’t there dial-up internet? But I heard it’s terribly expensive!"
"That’s sothing I wanted to talk about. You should pay attention and look out for any news about setting up internet service, and make sure to inform as soon as possible if there’s any update!"
"Got it!"
