Chapter 9 Official Procurement
"Some?" Yang Wendong accurately grasped the quantifier.
"My name is Elena. What's your name?" Elena introduced herself, as if there might be some communication later.
Yang Wendong said: "My name is Yang Wendong."
"Yang Wendong, let me call you Yang Sheng. Although my Chinese is not bad, calling you by your name is a bit awkward." Elena laughed.
Then he glanced at Su Yiyi who was standing aside and asked, "Yang Sheng, is this your wife?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yiyi blushed, but did not say a word.
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "No, her name is Su Yiyi."
"Oh" Elena smiled and said: "Yang Sheng, you rattrap, after I take it back After using it for a few days, I caught 3 big mice, and the effect was very good.
So I want to buy another 20. If the effect is still good, I will come back. ”
"No problem, I can provide you with as much as you want!" Yang Wendong said proudly.
In the past few days, stalls have been set up here, and the products sold are basically scattered. After Abiao sold a batch before, he also reported that it was effective in catching mice, but obviously people would not buy anymore.
He was also very happy to meet another big customer, and this transaction did not need to be divided among other middlemen.
"This is not necessarily true. Maybe, the quantity I may buy later is far more than you imagine?" Elena said with a smile.
Yang Wendong looked at the middle-aged white woman in front of him in surprise and asked: "What level of quantity?"
"Hundreds of thousands or even more." Elena said: "I work in a government department. There are many warehouses owned by the Hong Kong government or some well-connected foreign companies, which store food, daily necessities, or other materials.< br>
Over the years, there have been a lot of rats in many warehouses, and the government departments have budgets to eliminate rats every year, and your mouse trap is much cheaper than the mouse trap, which is very advantageous. < br>
This time, I will take 20 to a grain warehouse to see the effect. If it is good, maybe it can be promoted internally. The quantity required is very large. ”
< br>After Yang Wendong listened, he thought for a while and asked: "Ms. Elena, this kind of official procurement generally has fixed channels, right?"
In any era, any company or government, purchasing materials is a It's a good life, and around these materials, a bunch of interest chain groups will inevitably emerge.
"You know quite a lot." Elena also understood what Yang Wendong meant, but she didn't make it clear. She explained:
"Many warehouses and even government offices actually already have rat traps. Yes, but the effect is not good, so I also want to change to a new method of catching mice. This thing of yours is new, and others don’t have it.” Yang Wendong nodded, because it is a new thing. Although there is no registered patent, currently, as far as the official is aware, he is the only one who has it.
Elina added: "Actually, it's also because the value of your thing is not high, and it covers a wide range of areas.
Generally, it doesn't cost much to buy a separate warehouse. , I also happened to be responsible for the supply of goods in Hong Kong, so I came here.”
"Yes." Yang Wendong smiled. This little thing is not of high value, but it has to be distributed to warehouses in different places in Hong Kong.
To put it simply, the purchase amount of the warehouse itself will not be very high. Unified procurement may have some value, but how can the person in charge of this area see this?
In this short time, Yang Wendong had already selected 20 mouse traps, and then tied these bamboo tubes together with small ropes. The bamboo tube is not heavy, but if it is not tied up well, it will be difficult for one person to hold it with two hands.
Elena took the bamboo tube, counted it and made sure it was OK. She then placed the bamboo tube on the ground, took out a 10-yuan note from her pocket, and handed it to Yang Wendong.
Then he said: "Yang Sheng, if this mouse trap works well, you need to give a discount on the next batch of purchases."
"No problem." Yang Wendong nodded, and he naturally understood the other party. meaning.
This is the social rule that you must understand if you want to get some grades in Hong Kong today.
Even in the future, it will be the same, but it may be more direct now. In the future, it will be necessary to use various "legal means", etc., such as arranging leaders to go to 4S stores to buy second-hand cars and then "refund one and compensate three" "...
The Elena in front of her, who was willing to help the poor Chinese before, is definitely a good person in Yang Wendong's eyes, but it is not wrong that good people also love money.
Even for someone like her, having more money might be a good thing.
Seeing that Yang Wendong's expression was a little strange, Elena seemed to know something, and said quickly: "This discount is really just a literal meaning. The Hong Kong government also needs to save money when spending money."
"Well...Actually, even if you save it, it doesn't mean that others will do the same, right?" Yang Wendong was not sure what the other party meant, so he could only follow.
Elina shook her head and said: "Then I have no choice. I can only be myself and be worthy of my own heart."
"Okay. ." Yang Wendong nodded.
Elena's expression changed a little, and then she said: "The person who was beaten a few days ago is dead."
"Dead?" Yang Wendong was also stunned for a moment. He was beaten very badly.
But he can still stand up and walk with the help of his daughter.
Unexpectedly, he died. Yang Wendong really never thought of such a thing.
Elena added: "I was worried, so I asked a friend to ask for his address. When he went there, he found that he had been dead for a day, and his daughter didn't know where she was. His home is The dormitory where I live is also occupied by others.”
"This society is like this." Yang Wendong said.
This was the case in Hong Kong in the 1950s. It was probably normal for dozens or hundreds of people to attack with knives on the street.
"I have already called the police, but the Hawker Management Team is a subordinate of the police. In the end, this matter may just be..." Elena did not say any more.
Everyone knows some things and there is no need to say them so clearly.
Yang Wendong also understands that it is just a life of a lower class person. In Hong Kong in the 1950s, this was the most indispensable thing.
