Chapter 229 Visiting Father at the Train Station
"Director Zhang, I have something for you to sort out. A big customer has come and wants ten 50-ton trucks at once. I quoted her a price of 10,000 yuan and she wants a discount. I can't make the decision."
"What? Ten at once? Really?"
"I'm waiting for a reply in the exhibition hall."
Sales wages are linked to performance, and no one can resist money. Moreover, the service of Shanghai Tractor Factory is quite good. After hearing the report, he immediately went to the exhibition hall with Liu Xiaoyu.
Director Zhang stretched out his hand and wanted to shake hands. He subconsciously thought it was a male customer, but he didn't expect it to be two beautiful women.
"Hello, comrades. What are your names? I'm Director Zhang here, in charge of sales."
"My last name is Liu, and this is my sister, whose last name is Li. Hello, Director Zhang."
Director Zhang said, "Comrade Liu, are you sure you want ten tractors?"
Liu Xia Lian opened the canvas bag, and inside were stacks of brand new Great Unity.
"I need it urgently, it would be best if I could pick it up tomorrow."
"No problem. Our tractor factory is still very strong, with sufficient supply, excellent quality, and a very good reputation among customers. This price is 10,000 yuan, which is indeed more expensive than before, mainly because the engine has been updated. Since you want so much at once, I will give you the lowest price, 9,750 yuan. As you know, we are a state-owned enterprise, and the price management is relatively strict."
It is several hundred yuan more expensive than expected, but it is acceptable. The main reason is that the new 50-meter tractor is powerful and fuel-efficient, making it very suitable for freight transportation. It can run at 25 or 26 kilometers per hour on rural roads, which is very stable. It can also reach speeds of 40 or 50 on national highways.
"Okay, deal, it's your idea."
Director Zhang slapped his thigh and said, "How open-minded. Excuse me, may I ask which factory you are from? You are really capable."
"Baishan Xialian Farm."
"Come on, let's sign the contract in the office. Xiao Liu, tell the accountant not to leave first and count the money."
Since it was a large-scale transaction, it was quite troublesome. The official seals of the market and the tractor factory had to be affixed. The contract was in triplicate, and Liu Xialian signed the contract with the official seal of the farm. She also had to report to the Transportation Bureau and obtain a temporary license. After arriving at the place, Liu Xialian needed to go to the county town to apply for a license herself.
Liu Xiaoyu was stunned. He had never expected that his first order after arriving in the Northeast would be for ten cars. The commission for each car was fifty yuan, which was five hundred yuan at once. Oh my God, this income was too high.
Being in sales is much harder than working on an assembly line, but it is also really easy to make money.
It was relatively quick to count the bundles of new money, and the contract was signed around seven o'clock. All I had to do was wait for someone to pick up the car tomorrow.
Liu Xia Lian pulled Li Damei out of the sales showroom, and a person suddenly appeared from the corner.
Li Damei was startled, and Liu Xia Lian took a look and realized that it was Chen Daheng.
"Manager Chen, why are you here?"
"My shop is not here. Why don't you come here to drink some tea before leaving? Come on, Director Liu and this comrade, come to my shop to drink some tea and take a break."
"Okay, let's take a break then."
Except for two people from the security department, everyone else in Manager Chen's store had gone off work. Chen Daheng poured two glasses of water for Liu Xia Lian and Li Da Mei.
"What business does this comrade do?"
"This is my good sister, she's in the clothing business. This time she came here to buy ten Shanghai 50 tractors for the transport fleet. They are more suitable for heavy-duty freight than what you have here."
Manager Chen smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. Everything is user-centric. This car of theirs is a classic of its generation, and the quality is impeccable. If I were to choose, I would choose this one. What I mean is that if you need a small car with 25 horsepower in the future, you must choose us. Our Luoyang 25 horsepower freight version is also very good, with a small size, low fuel consumption, and easy to adapt to rural roads."
"Well, what Manager Chen said makes sense. I will consider it, but we have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. The 25-horsepower tractor is mainly used to deliver vegetables. As the kimchi factory and vegetable greenhouse develop, we will also form a fleet."
Manager Chen nodded and said, "Sister Xia Lian is right. The head office held a meeting a few days ago and listened to the situation in some southern provinces. The pace of reform and opening up in the south is faster, and many private enterprises, self-employed businesses, and township enterprises have emerged. I dare to assert that private enterprises will become the mainstream among small and medium-sized enterprises in the future. I believe your kimchi factory will develop rapidly. After all, the Northeast is a heavy industrial base, and its economic development is far better than that of the newly developed cities in the south."
Liu Xia Lian was still very surprised. A tractor sales manager, who was not a time traveler, actually had such a view on the future. He was indeed a talent. No wonder the Central Plains developed so fast. It was really full of talents.
Li Damei said, "I often hear about the development zone Pengcheng on the radio. It is said to be developing rapidly and the state is investing more than 1 billion yuan in construction. Sister, do you think there is great potential for development there? Should we go and take a look?"
"Of course we will go. When the store in the provincial capital opens, we will go to the south together to see the outside world. If we work behind closed doors, we are doomed to have little development."
Chen Daheng looked at his watch and said, "It's already past seven o'clock. I'll treat you two to dinner."
Liu Xia Lian said, "No, no. I have cats and dogs in the car. I need to let them out for some exercise. Otherwise, they will have to be pulled out of the car soon."
There is wasteland surrounding the tractor sales city. Liu Xia Lian opened the car door and a big yellow dog and a huge calico cat ran out.
"Why is this cat so big? It seems quite fierce."
"Of course, otherwise how could there be a saying of "a cat replacing a prince"? The value of a cat is equal to that of a prince."
Manager Chen was stunned by Liu Xia Lian's twisted theory.
After a while, Dahuang and Dahua came back, and Liu Xia Lian and Li Damei got in the car and drove straight to the train station in the city center.
Almost all the police stations in front of stations across the country are located right next to train stations. There is a lot of coming and going of people, and the flow of people is complex. It is also a place with heavy workload, very tiring and dangerous.
Liu Xialian's father Liu Jun came to take up his post half a month ago with his two apprentices, Xiao Dong and Xiao Liu. Liu Jun is the director, Xiao Liu and Xiao Dong are ordinary police officers, and their salaries have hardly changed, Liu Jun gets 50 yuan, Xiao Liu and Xiao Dong get 45 yuan, except for an additional night shift allowance. Because the Zhanqian Street Police Station has an office in the train station, staying up late on duty is common.
When Liu Xialian came over, her father Liu Jun was preparing to eat instant noodles. Liu Xialian knocked on the door and said, "That old comrade, why are you eating instant noodles again?"
"Hey, Xia Lian, Da Mei, why are you here?"
"I came to see you guys. Where are Xiaodong and Xiaoliu?"
Liu Jun shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "These two guys are on duty at the station. It's better to be in the forest farm. This uniform is not easy to wear. As soon as he took office, Xiao Dong arrested two colleagues. I thought it was just a common violation, but after checking, it turned out to be a big deal. The best outcome for these two old colleagues may be that they will never get out for the rest of their lives."
Liu Jun didn't elaborate, and Liu Xia Lian didn't ask.
"Well, mom brought you some fried fish, wild vegetables, and two chickens."
