Chapter 53 PoorAt noon the next day, Zhang Yunqi and Wang Guibing met in a small restaurant in front of the gate of the No. 1 Middle School in the city. Zhang Yunqi went to him to discuss dividends and purchasing matters. He sold more than 800 of the 670 handheld game consoles in two months, with the wholesale price being 40 yuan per unit and the consignment price being 45 yuan per unit. He now has more than 27000 yuan in cash, after deducting the 2000 yuan dividend he has paid to Wang Guibing. According to the agreement before purchasing the goods, Wang Guibing invested 2000 yuan and received a 10% dividend. Zhang Yunqi had already calculated that he would give Wang Guibing 4200 yuan including principal and interest. In two months, Wang Guibing made 2200 yuan by reselling. This income is not common in the entire Jiangchuan City. Wang Guibing made a real fortune and of course wanted to make more. So when Zhang Yunqi put the remaining 2200 yuan in dividends in front of him, he did not reach out to take it. Instead, he took out a stack of bills from his pocket and put them on the table, pushing them all in front of Zhang Yunqi. Zhang Yunqi didn't say anything and looked at Wang Guibing. Wang Guibing said, "Xiao Zhang, this is 4000 yuan, a total of 6200 yuan, all my belongings. I want to work with you in the future. Of course, I know I don't have much ability, but I have no problem doing dirty and tiring work. As for how much you give me, it's up to you. I recognize you." Zhang Yunqi smiled. This guy was very smart and capable. However, it was also a good thing for him. With more payment, he could import more goods and earn more. It was the best of both worlds. Zhang Yunqi picked up a stack of money on the table, picked out two hundred and threw it to Wang Guibing: "This time we are buying two thousand units. It's still the same rule. You invest six thousand and I'll give you 10% of the dividends."
Wang Guibing said it was done. Zhang Yunqi said: "Then go back and prepare, we will go to Shenzhen tomorrow." It was almost two o'clock when Wang Guibing left. Zhang Yunqi first ran to Jiang Lihua's office and knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time but hearing no one, he turned and went to Class 168. Most of the students had not arrived yet. A few general students were taking naps on the tables. He saw a person sitting under the window reading a book. The early winter sunshine was very warm, and it shone through the window on her focused little face, giving off a hazy beauty. Zhang Yunqi walked over and knocked on her desk, saying, "First time meeting you, I need a favor from you." Chu Jian tilted his head: "What?" Zhang Yunqi said: "The head teacher is not here. I have something to deal with now. If he comes, please ask him for leave for me and say that I am going to my sister's house." We agreed upon this upon first meeting. Zhang Yunqi left the classroom and took a bus to his eldest sister's house. Eldest sister Zhang Qiulan was waiting for him at home. She had a hard time these two days. Although she knew that her brother would not blame her, four hundred yuan was not a small amount of money for her. She felt very guilty and thought she had a great responsibility for this matter. The two chatted about what happened that day. When it came to Huang Liguo's refusal to pay, Zhang Qiulan seemed a little worried and said, "Huang Liguo refuses to admit it. It's useless for us to go. Let's just forget it. Brother, you can deduct the 400 yuan from my salary." Zhang Yunqi was planning to go out, but when he heard this, he was furious. His sister was too weak! Was this a matter of money? In the 1990s, when it was a seller's market, the one who had the goods was the boss. He was cheated by a small dealer. If this got to other dealers' ears, would he still be in this business? Zhang Yunqi said: "Of course the money will be deducted from your salary. 300 this month, and the payment for the goods must also be returned. It's not for a few hundred dollars, but to let this dealer know that you are not so easy to bully. Now follow me to the No. Middle School to ask for the payment for the goods." Zhang Qiulan remained silent. She followed Zhang Yunqi out of the house and took a bus to No. 2 Middle School, where she found Huang Liguo, the owner of the small shop. Zhang Yun had come here three or four times before, and both parties knew each other. When Huang Liguo saw him, his triangular eyes narrowed into a slit. He knew everything in his heart, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, you are here, what's the matter?" Zhang Yunqi was very direct and said straight to the point: "Boss Huang, my sister should have told you yesterday why I came to see you. The day before yesterday, she sent you 30 handheld computers, but only collected the payment for 20 of them, and you also paid less for 10 of them. Of course, my sister is responsible for this matter. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you." Huang Liguo immediately waved his hands and denied it: "It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist. Boss Zhang, I clearly paid for 30 units. There is no way I could have made a mistake." Zhang Yunqi said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Mr. Huang remembered it wrongly. This is a long-term business. It's really unnecessary to cause unhappiness for such a small amount of money. It's not worth it." "When running a business, credibility is important, and this is even more so for a small business like mine. I can't possibly ruin my reputation for a few hundred dollars, right? I handed the payment for 30 units to your sister personally. There can't be any mistake, absolutely not." Huang Liguo knew that this guy had some skills, but he didn't buy it and insisted that there was no mistake about the amount.
Seeing this, Zhang Yunqi didn't waste any words. He dragged a chair and sat directly at the entrance of the store. He took out his mobile phone and put it on the table. He said, "I just happen to be hungry. You can get me something to eat first. Melon seeds and biscuits will do. Since you don't want to admit it, I have no choice but to call someone to come over and solve the problem!" Huang Liguo was stunned when he saw Zhang Yunqi's mobile phone. In 92, mobile phones were definitely a symbol of status. Only big bosses could afford them. It is no exaggeration to say that a mobile phone could be exchanged for more than one house in many places back then! Huang Liguo never expected that this guy was so awesome, and he felt a little nervous. It was not worth it to offend such a person for a few hundred dollars. If he called a group of people to cause trouble, he would have no chance of doing business. With this in mind, he went in and discussed with his wife for a while, and finally took out a stack of banknotes, put it on the counter, and said with a fat face as bright as a chrysanthemum: "I remember now, I did remember it wrong, I remembered it wrong, Boss Zhang, I was also wrong about this matter, I am really sorry, sorry, this is the payment for 10 handheld computers, please take it." Zhang Yunqi took the money and counted it, and it was correct. He put the money in his pocket, suddenly grabbed the mobile phone, pointed it directly at Huang Liguo's nose, and said arrogantly: "Is that all? I earn thousands of dollars a day, and I've been here arguing with you all afternoon and haven't done anything. How do you calculate this loss?!" Zhang Yunqi suddenly lost his temper, confusing Huang Liguo. After a while, he finally reacted, turned around, pulled out a plastic bag and put a bunch of snacks in it, then took out two hundred yuan from the drawer, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, you are not an ordinary person, so don't bother with me." Zhang Yunqi rudely picked up the bills and snacks, turned around and left without saying a word. At this time, the class at the No. 2 Middle School had already ended, and many students were blocking the door to watch the excitement. When they saw this peer who was holding a mobile phone and looking very arrogant coming out, they all consciously made way for him to leave. Zhang Qiulan was waiting for Zhang Yunqi at the door, and the brother and sister left No. 2 Middle School in front of everyone. When stopping a car on the side of the road, Zhang Yunqi threw two hundred yuan and snacks to Zhang Qiulan next to him and said, "Sister, if you encounter these treacherous and snobbish bosses next time, you know what to do, right? Be tough." Zhang Qiulan did not inherit her mother's strong character. She was very weak and would only swallow all the grievances she encountered in life. She sighed and said, "After delivering goods for a while, I feel that it is not easy for them either. They get up early and go to bed late every day just to make a living. We just need to get the payment back. Yunqi, there is no need to ask for the remaining two hundred yuan." Zhang Yunqi really thought it was ridiculous: "Sister, why do you feel sorry for him? If you don't teach this bastard a lesson, he might even shit on your head!" Seeing that his elder sister didn't say anything and followed the self-blame on her face, Zhang Yunqi said, "Do you think it's easy for anyone to live in this world? Don't feel sorry for others, and don't feel sorry for yourself. We don't have the qualifications to do so." ****** (End of this chapter)
