After introducing each other, everyone shook hands and got straight to the point, checking the goods.

After looking at these goods, they are basically at the same level as Director Liu's. However, Xia Ran discovered that the patterns of these three factories are still different. It may be related to the personal preferences of the directors.

After Director Li finished writing down the number and size distribution of their goods, Xia Ran said directly: "Director Li, I have just negotiated the price with the other two directors, so I won't beat around the bush. Your goods are of the same quality as Director Liu's, and my price is 90 yuan per piece. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it's okay."

Director Li thought that he had expected the price to be lowered, but he didn't expect it to be so severe. He turned his eyes to the other two directors. Director Liu and Director Niu smiled and nodded without saying much.

Director Li thought, these two must be fools, the price has been suppressed so much, how can they still laugh? Especially Lao Niu, he is such a smart person, why is he so unsupportive today?

But even so, he had to sell it. He had made a lot of money from it before, so he became more ambitious and expanded the factory again and again.

He also allowed the female workers to take work home, while he was responsible for providing technical support, setting up scaffolding, and regularly delivering wires to homes, etc. As a result, he had a large amount of goods on hand and wanted to make a lot of money from it. However, man proposes, God disposes, and he still suffered the consequences.

After struggling for a while, he said, "Okay, since we all have the same price, let's do it this way. How are you going to pay for the goods? How much?"

"You have 625 tickets in total, and if each ticket is 90 yuan, the total amount is yuan. I can pay you on the spot. However, I suggest that you learn from them and take some goods from me to sell back and make some extra money by the way."

Director Li was stunned and excited. The price was already so low, but they didn't give cash and used goods as payment? This was too rude. His face suddenly turned ugly.

I asked loudly unconsciously: "You don't plan to pay us? Are you going to use the goods as cash?"

Xia Ran looked at the other person's changed expression and explained with a smile: "Don't get excited, it's not what you understand. If you want cash, I can give you all in cash and settle it on the spot. Director Niu, show the order you took to Director Li. Director Li, take a look at it first."

Director Li finally felt relieved. He thought that it was not a good thing to use goods as collateral. Confused, he took a piece of paper and read it: "Is this the purchase price and quantity? Lao Niu, are you crazy? You want to buy goods worth more than 4 yuan?"

"Lao Li, we have known each other for many years. Even though we may not like each other, have you ever seen me, Lao Niu, do a business that loses money?"

"Hmph, this is it."

"Let's go. As we are in the same boat now, I will forgive my mistakes. Come on. I will help you to get rich." As he said that, Director Niu, taking advantage of his height, put his arm around Director Li's neck and pulled him into the next shed as if he was half-hostage, intending to give Comrade Li an unconventional lesson.

Xia Ran finally had some free time. She looked at Secretary Li's cracked lips and asked, "Secretary Li, didn't you guys eat?"

Secretary Li said embarrassedly, "I really didn't have time to eat. I was afraid of missing the time. Director Li was out for something today. I asked several people to call him back temporarily. After he came back, he rushed here and didn't have time to eat."

"Sorry, sorry, I gave you a very short notice. It's my fault. I contacted Secretary Wang too late. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"Don't worry about us. After we finish our discussion, Director Li and I will find a place to eat."

"That won't do. Now that you're here, how can I ignore your meals and let you go hungry? Wait, I'll go and see if there's anything you can eat. Is there anything you can't eat? Director Qi, please pour Secretary Li and the others a glass of water to moisten their mouths. I'll go and see what's going on."

"No, no, we eat everything."

Xia Ran went to the small shed at the back. Aunt Jiu had just chopped up the chicken, washed it, and stewed it. It was still more than one or two bites long.

It seems that I have to arrange for someone to buy food. Just when I was thinking about it, Jianmin and his friends came back. Xia Ran asked Dachun to go and pack two servings of beef fried noodles. "This is good for resisting hunger, I want a large portion."

Seeing that Xia Ran had something to discuss, Jianmin and his companions went straight into the two sheds over there to see if there was anything they could do. Otherwise, they would feel guilty just hanging around like that.

When Xia Ran came out, she took two sweet potatoes and handed them over: "Secretary Li, eat a sweet potato to relieve your hunger. I have asked someone to buy food. You need to wait a little longer."

"You don't have to buy it specially. How can I let you spend money on it?"

"Look at what you said. We are guests. How can we let you go hungry? We can cook here, but it's unfortunate. We just stewed the chicken. It will take at least two hours to eat it."

Director Liu was surprised: "Your food is so good? Wasn't the lunch specially prepared for us?"

"No, it's the daily meals these days. Everyone has been working hard, so we can't skimp on food, otherwise our bodies won't be able to handle it. They also have to keep watch at night. It's so cold, and everyone is working hard."

"That's quite frank, Boss Xia. You've been so nice to them, so why were you so harsh when negotiating the price with us before?" Director Liu joked with a bit of dissatisfaction.

"How can it be the same? Is it easier for us to make money or for them? Besides, we are talking about business. I don't believe that if you were in my position, you would go easy on me. Business is business, and social etiquette is social etiquette. They are two different things. Even if we can't make a deal today, I will still happily treat everyone to a meal. It's the same principle. It's the realm of being a human being. When we negotiated the price before, it was about how to be a qualified businessman. The two are different."

"You're really merciless."

"Just tell me whether what I said makes sense or not?"

Director Liu snorted softly and stopped talking. Only women and villains are difficult to raise. He didn't bother to argue with the other party. He was in the real business, while the other party made money by talking. They were good at different things, and he really couldn't beat the other party in terms of talking.

The other secretaries just watched it for fun. They realized that these factory directors were no match for this woman. She was eloquent and could push the price so low without making people feel disgusted. It took some skill for her to do so.

Soon Director Li and Director Niu came back. Director Li's eyes were particularly bright at this moment. Just as he was about to speak, Xia Ran spoke first: "Director Li, drink a glass of water and eat a sweet potato to relieve your hunger. We can talk slowly. There is no rush."

"Alright."

Director Li was worried. He ate a not very thick sweet potato in a few bites. He choked because he ate too quickly. Director Niu pushed the water cup and said, "Water, water, drink some water first. Why are you in such a hurry? The goods are here and they can't run away."
