Chapter 244 A man won’t shed tears easily
As they chatted, Boss Lan noticed that his new friend always seemed to have sadness on his face. He would look at the street from time to time, and occasionally would be distracted, as if he had something on his mind.
So his mouth moved a step faster than his brain, and he asked with concern.
"Brother Jia, are you in any trouble?"
"No, nothing, nothing." Although he said this, the sadness on Jia Ming's face became deeper.
Boss Lan: "If Brother Jia is trustworthy, you can tell me. Although I may not be able to help, as the saying goes, three stooges are better than Zhuge Liang."
If Baitao were here at this moment, he would definitely say that he was trying to be deceived.
Sometimes, people cannot be too curious, after all, curiosity killed the cat.
Jia Ming also knew that enough was enough, so he made an expression of gratitude to Boss Lan for his concern and sighed.
"Hey, that's it, I'm unlucky too."
After a pause, Jia Ming took a sip of tea, and then continued: "The goods have been delivered, but the other party can't pay the remaining payment. It was a good business, but now I am not a human being."
< br>
Boss Lan raised his eyebrows: "Brother, isn't there a contract?" When doing business, fulfilling the contract is one of the basic principles.
Jia Ming shook his head and said bitterly: "There is a contract, but something happened to the other party's family suddenly. The shop was sold to pay off the debt, and I really can't afford the remaining payment."
"That's really troublesome." Boss Lan said sadly.
People who do business are most afraid of encountering such a situation, so if the partner's wealth is large, the probability of such a situation happening is much smaller.
Speaking of this, we must not mention the 'You are the richest' bank, which indirectly helps everyone select a group of merchants with good financial resources.
Jia Ming complained distressedly: "It's very troublesome. Now I have to find a new buyer for this batch of silk in my hand. But it's not that easy to find a buyer at this time."
"But I just received a letter from home. My mother suddenly became seriously ill. I have to go back as soon as possible..."
As soon as he heard that the other party had a batch of silk for sale, Boss Lan was immediately moved.
Silk?
If it's silk, he can help, but it depends on the price. After all, he is also a businessman.
Boss Lan thought for a moment and then asked for a price.
Jia Ming felt happy when he saw the other person walking in his direction, but he still had a worried expression on his face.
“The price is naturally good, 20% lower than what’s on the market today.”
After finishing speaking, seeing Boss Lan's surprised expression, Jia Ming smiled and explained: "The previous buyer paid 30% of the payment."
"But they broke the contract first, so they will naturally compensate me for 30% of the purchase price, so now I just need to reduce the loss on this trip."
"I have a family emergency. My father is no longer here. If I can't go back and stay by my mother's bedside to fulfill my filial piety, then who am I to be a son..."
When Boss Lan heard this, he nodded in agreement and praised: "Brother Jia is a filial person."
Jia Ming smiled sheepishly and said matter-of-factly: "If I didn't have my mother, where would I be?"
Although Boss Lan was moved, he didn't speak immediately. The two chatted for a while before going back to their rooms.
the next day.
Boss Lan was about to go to Baijiabao Qianzi Clothing Village when he saw Jia Ming talking to a businessman not far from the inn. "A profit of 20% is already a lot. If it is any lower, then I will really lose too much..."
Not knowing what the other party said, Jia Ming looked confused, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "Two and a half percent, this is the lowest."
Boss Lan, who originally wanted to go to Baijiabao Cloth Shop, was moved in his heart, so he subconsciously slowed down, and finally pretended to look at something at a street stall nearby.
This businessman probably wanted to take advantage of the situation and did not agree, so Jia Ming shook his head: "Then you can think about it again."
"It's 30% cheaper. I'll take it right away. If you're not happy with it, then you can keep it at a loss!" The businessman said, flipped his sleeves and left with a groan.
Jia Ming stretched out his hand to stop him, but he retracted his hand halfway and seemed to be shocked. He was dejected and did not notice Boss Lan's figure.
It wasn't until Boss Lan stood in front of him, blocking the road, that he looked up and realized it. He was stunned for a moment and gave a smile that was uglier than crying: "Brother Lan, aren't you going to Baijiabao Clothing Store this morning? Why? …”
Boss Lan: "Brother Jia, who was that person just now?"
Jia Ming: "Hey, he is a merchant who collects silk. I don't know how he knew that I had an urgent matter at home, so he insisted on undercutting my price by 30%."
"But I have really lost too much to make a profit of 30%. My old mother's illness requires a lot of money. I have to fulfill my filial piety at home, and I can't go out to do business in a short time..."
As he spoke, Jia Ming's eyes began to turn red: "I'm useless. Even my old mother can't make her life comfortable in her later years."
Boss Lan looked at this scene and suddenly remembered the saying, a man doesn't shed tears easily because he hasn't reached the point of sadness.
"Two and a half percent is really my lowest price, but he..."
Jia Ming muttered in pain, and Boss Lan blurted out immediately: "Brother Jia, let me help you!"
"Ah?" Jia Ming looked up at Boss Lan without reacting, astonished: "What did you say?"
Boss Lan: "I said, I will take this batch of silk in your hand."
Jia Ming seemed to react at this time, and his joy was beyond words: "Really?"
"Brother Lan, if it's true, it's me." Jia Ming paused for a moment, then felt relieved and said, "I'll give you a profit of 2.60%."
"No, no, no, then you have lost too much. Just the 25% you said before will be fine." Boss Lan didn't think he was taking advantage of the situation. After all, 25% was Jia Ming's price.
"Brother Lan is so generous in saving me from the fire and water, so I naturally want to make the greatest profit."
Jia Ming said with a look of gratitude: "If you say 2.60%, it's 2.60%. Brother Lan can help me so that I can return home as soon as possible. He is already my great benefactor."
The two declined back and forth, and soon Boss Lan went to see the samples with Jia Ming, and the matter was settled immediately.
After signing the deed and making the payment transaction, I realized that Jia Ming had not had time to get a credit card machine.
Boss Lan subconsciously said: "Then go get one. Nowadays, everyone uses credit card machines. I happen to be qualified for referrals. I haven't introduced anyone yet this year."
He talked about what Tao Jiaren said to him before: "Think about it, time is money. If the business is settled, wouldn't it be much more convenient to swipe it with the credit card machine?"
At this time, Boss Lan just recommended it kindly. After all, it is much more convenient for merchants to use the card swiping machine to do business. The more he uses it, the more useful it becomes.
Jia Ming's face stiffened and he smiled dryly: "Having said that, this card can only be used in Dongzhou now. My home probably doesn't have a business branch yet. If I transfer the money, I won't be able to withdraw it when I get home."
After the examination tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I can be discharged from the hospital if everything is fine.
Happy~~~
On the last day of July, I would like to ask for some votes~~~
