Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Director Sun, who answered the phone, was a little surprised when he heard what Zhou Qi meant.

The bottle purchasing job is handled by the director below, so how did I find my way to his office?

Zhou Qi didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, asking about the price of the bottle.

A bottle, two cents!

If customized, the price will be higher.

Hearing this number, Zhou Qi frowned.

Take canned peaches as an example. The cost of one pound of peaches is just over 20 cents. One pound of peaches can make several canned bottles, but one bottle costs 20 cents. Are you kidding me?

He knew canning jars wouldn't be cheap, but this was ridiculous.

"Director Sun, if the order volume is large, can we negotiate the price?" Zhou Qi asked.

"We are a time-honored state-owned brand. Our prices are fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted!" Although Director Sun's tone was polite, Zhou Qi understood the arrogance in his voice as soon as he heard it.

The two chatted for a while longer.

Director Sun kept gritting his teeth and refused to speak, with a hint of impatience between the lines.

I haven't met you before, but you start talking a lot right away and even want to bargain...

Although he is the factory manager, this business is not his personal business. If you think it is too expensive, don't place the order. The factory does not need a few small businesses from you.

Zhou Qi didn't expect to settle the matter with just one phone call. He just wanted to test the waters. If he brought up Zhang Wenhui, the price might go down. But if he mentioned favors, the price might become a one-time deal, and with Zhang Wenhui's personality, he would definitely get involved.

This was obviously not the result he wanted.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qi began to think. It is not easy to bargain in a state-owned enterprise, unlike a private enterprise where large quantities can lower prices.

There is certainly a cost factor involved, but more importantly, these leaders are seeking reputation.

Just like Wang Dadong, he signed a fruit order worth tens of millions, without pocketing a penny, but with this achievement, his career path will be smoother.

There is no other way but to rely on fooling people!

Zhou Qi thought about it and decided to take Jiang Jun out again. They found a photo studio.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Jun looked confused.

Zhou Qi looked him up and down and said, "Come on, bend your body and legs a little bit."

Although Jiang Jun was confused, he still followed suit.

He's a little tall, and his figure doesn't match his body, but he'll make do with it.

Zhou Qi didn't explain much, and said to the owner of the photo studio: "Just take a picture of the upper body shaking hands, and then you have to find a way to replace his face with the one in the newspaper."

As he spoke, he took out a newspaper from his pocket and pointed at the people on it.

The photo studio owner was delighted when he saw it.

Lee Ka Shing?

Where did this psycho come from?

Isn’t this too imaginative? Want to take a photo shoulder to shoulder with Li Ka Shing?

There is no such thing as digital image processing nowadays.

If there is PS, it will only take a few minutes.

Zhou didn't know what to do, but he thought that this photo studio must have some tricks. He didn't say much, just threw out two big red bills and said, "Brother, it's just a photo!"

The owner of the photo studio looked at the newspaper, then at the bills, and finally shook his head: "This job is difficult!"

Zhou Qi didn't take the newspaper and continued to smile: "No need to be too particular, as long as you can tell at a glance that it's this big guy."

The boss narrowed his eyes and thought, it only costs three dollars to take a normal photo, and now it’s two hundred dollars, so he’s so happy! He hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I can do it, but it may be blurry and the light will be dim."

Zhou Qi doesn’t care, this is exactly the effect he wants.

The boss took the money without saying a word and started working.

After two or three hours of hard work, the photos were finally produced.

Zhou Qi took a look and thought, this quality is terrible. I can barely recognize it as Li Ka Shing, but that's it. Take another one and we can chat from a distance.

This time it was much faster, as soon as I got the photos...

Well, just make do with it! With today's technology, being able to replace a head with a photo is already a miracle, so don't expect too much.

Think about it from another perspective. Precisely because of the limited technology, this photo appears to be more real and reliable.

After leaving the photo studio, Jiang Jun was confused: "Who are you trying to fool?"

"Fooling?" Zhou Qi smiled. "It's called strategy, understand? Bring some bluffing materials to quickly build a closer relationship during negotiations, saving both sides trouble, and the sense of trust can also increase. How great is that."

Jiang Jun curled his lips and muttered to himself: You are just fooling me, but you still have so many tricks up your sleeve.

Zhou knew that it was a fantasy to rely on a fake photo to build trust and get closer. It was just a lie. There was no sincerity at all. Besides, what effect could a photo have?

But obviously, he underestimated the "information" Zhou Qi mentioned, which was quite informative.

The next day, Zhou Qi took Jiang Jun and went straight to Chunshi Glass Factory. He didn't rush to find Director Sun, after all, in this area, the gate guard is the first hurdle.

If you say you are looking for the king, the guard will most likely reply, "The king is not here!" The better ones might ask you what you want to see the king for, but the answer is still mostly the same, either saying that the king is not here, or asking you to look for the director.

Wanting to meet the king directly was simply a pipe dream. So Zhou Qi planned to find out the situation of the factory first.

After explaining their purpose, Zhou Qi and Jiang Jun were invited into the reception room. Not long after, a man in his forties came in, wearing a baggy grey suit and a slicked-back hairdo. With his square face, he looked like a black grease cap on a square brick, which was very out of place.

The man looked Zhou Qi and the others up and down and asked, "Are you here to order cans?"

"Hello, I'm from Pinliangpu Trading Co., Ltd., my name is Zhou Qi!" Zhou Qi stretched out his right hand, stood straight, and controlled his aura tightly.

The man did not look down on Zhou Qi just because he was young. He immediately shook his hand and said, "I'm the sales manager here, Zhou Wenlai. Mr. Zhou, please take a seat."

After both parties sat down, Zhou Wenlai spoke first: "What kind of cans do you want? Do you have any sample pictures?"

Zhou Qi really did bring the drawings. He gestured to Jiang Jun, who handed him the prepared folder.

Zhou Qi opened it and took out a piece of paper, which Jiang Jun had drawn according to his requirements.

After handing the blueprint to Zhou Wenlai, Zhou Qi put the folder on the corner of the table. Zhou Wen looked at the blueprint and nodded slightly: "We can make this kind of bottle. How many do you want?"

"What's our price?" Zhou Qi asked.

Zhou Wenlai glanced at the blueprint again and said, "Two and a half cents each, no negotiation!"

Zhou Qi said happily: "Director Zhou, we asked around before coming here. Is your price a bit too high?"

"An ordinary bottle costs 20 cents, but your bottle is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, just like a small jar. Of course I have to pay more," said Zhou Wen.

It does look like a small jar, but it is a deformed version, with a bulging belly and a thin bottom. The whole bottle is like a convex mirror.
