The Fat Man's roar, as he suddenly stood up, immediately drew everyone's attention to him.
Fortunately, this was in a private room, and everyone around was one of their own. Otherwise, they would have attracted everyone's gaze like monkeys on display.
"What are you yelling about? What if you scare Miss Lingling?" Brother Hu was furious, slapping the table and standing up with his two subordinates.
In their eyes, Wang Yu had become their big benefactor, and Wu Lingling was the big benefactor's big benefactor. Whether there was any relationship between the two of them was another matter, but they were definitely not people to offend!
"They talk their talk, we don't need to get involved," Wang Yu smiled, pulling Brother Hu back to his seat and toasting him.
"Brother Hu, you've worked hard all the way this time. We'll arrange a bonus for you later."
Upon hearing Wang Yu mention the bonus, Brother Hu immediately lost interest in bothering the Fat Man Hu and instead leaned in front of Wang Yu, fawningly asking how much he could get.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Fatty Hu also realized his gaffe. After calming himself down, he spoke to Wu Lingling.
"I'm sorry, Old Hu was out of line just now, but Miss Lingling, aren't your terms a bit too much, too strict?"
Fatty Hu was one step away from saying too excessive, too black-hearted.
This wasn't like buying a cabbage in the market with cash on delivery. Nowadays… and even in the future, most industries operate on a consignment system where payment is made after delivery.
This was especially true for large-scale business transactions. Paying in full upfront was simply unimaginable!
What kind of immense financial pressure would that entail? A slight misstep could lead to collapse!
Moreover, there was an additional deposit of 3,000 yuan per vehicle?
Wouldn't that mean he might end up losing money instead of making it?
"Miss Lingling, your terms are too much pressure for me. And there's never been such a precedent in the industry…"
"There's never been a precedent for an individual to sell cars in the industry… has there?"
Before Fatty Hu could finish, Wu Lingling interrupted him, "If you want to break others' monopoly and earn money that you wouldn't normally get, you naturally have to pay accordingly."
"My terms are full payment upfront, with immediate delivery of goods and cash. As for the deposit, it's to prevent irregular market behavior."
"For example, cross-regional sales, arbitrarily raising prices, malicious defamation of our brand, etc. If such behavior is discovered, a fine will be imposed on the spot and deducted from the deposit."
"And fines too?" Fatty Hu's eyes widened further. This was simply preposterous!
Nowadays, who wasn't eager for sales channels to sell their products?
Even state-owned sales channels, in addition to earning the price difference, demanded extra kickbacks from manufacturing enterprises!
If you refused?
Sorry, find someone else!
But how could these market rules be completely overturned by Wu Lingling?
Not only Fatty Hu, but everyone around them looked incredulous. Only Wang Yu smiled.
It was he who had told Wu Lingling about the cash-on-delivery and deposit system.
Having been reborn, he deeply understood the importance of cash on delivery. How many national brands had faded away due to a broken chain of capital?
While there were various problems, or perhaps they had overextended themselves, the most common issue was not being able to recover payments for goods delivered.
Wang Yu didn't want to spend his days in endless meetings, discussing debt collection with his subordinates, or even having to attend various banquets and social events for it…
As for the deposit, people would do anything for profit, and this was just a basic restraint.
"Necessary rules are naturally essential. As long as you abide by the rules of the game, I can guarantee that you won't be charged a single extra cent for all products. The wool comes from the sheep's back, and just this alone is a huge profit for you!
Of course, if you cannot accept it, then we can only say sorry."
Wu Lingling finished in one breath, then picked up her fruit juice and toasted Fatty Hu, calmly waiting for his answer.
She had this confidence. If Fatty Hu refused, there were other partners to cooperate with.
"This…"
Fatty Hu's fleshy face twitched violently, clearly in a fierce struggle.
He naturally understood the logic behind Wu Lingling's words. The market prospects for the "Hope" series of agricultural machinery were undoubtedly good, but the capital investment was simply too much…
After a long time, Fatty Hu gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh.
"Why should those people at the agricultural machinery company eat meat while we can't even get the soup? Just for this, I'll damn do it!"
"In that case, a pleasant cooperation!"
"A pleasant cooperation!"
…
In the end, Fatty Hu and Wu Lingling reached an agreement. After Wang Yu and the others had their fill of food and drink, they bought a bus ticket back to Jiangyang County the next day and embarked on their return journey.
The three cars that Fatty Hu had broken were naturally his. After collecting the money and settling the remaining payments, according to him, they would be sold quickly and he would order more.
To this end, Fatty Hu enthusiastically saw them off, his round face beaming like a chrysanthemum, saying that he would definitely introduce his friends in the parts business to get rich together.
"This fatty doesn't seem like someone who would offer help selflessly. I bet he'll ask for some referral fees when he introduces his friends to get rich."
On the bus, Wang Yu said to Wu Lingling, who was sitting next to him.
"Whether he asks for it or not, I'm actually hoping for more people. That way, I can digest the order of a hundred cars you promised him as soon as possible."
Wu Lingling said with a smile, her mood seemingly good.
Although she had promised Fatty Hu that the cars supplied to them would not increase in price.
But there was still the deposit, and with more capital on the books, she could do many things.
"But I'm still very curious, if you can't find agents like Fatty Hu, or if they can't take all of your hundred-car order, what will you do?
I won't refund the deposit, you know!"
Wang Yu said half-jokingly, half-seriously, eliciting a mysterious smile from Wu Lingling.
"Heh heh, guess what?"
…
After a whole day, everyone finally returned to Jiangyang County. The experience on the bus was worse than death!
The vehicle jolted and vibrated, the noise was immense, it was crowded inside, there were even various livestock, and the passengers' luggage filled every corner!
It was even less comfortable than driving their own agricultural vehicle!
Even someone as strong as Brother Hu seemed a bit tired, let alone the two older repairmen who were as weak as sick chickens.
Despite this, everyone's spirits were high.
After all, they had brought back tens of thousands of yuan!
And they had found such a wealthy agent in Fatty Hu.
"When can you develop a new type of bus?"
Wu Lingling suddenly asked Wang Yu.
"Ah?" Wang Yu was startled and blurted out,
"How did you know what I was thinking?"
