Chapter 496 - 46 Boss Cheng is too modest.
Yuan Wenqing nodded, then asked, "How much stock do you plan to take?"
"Five hundred units." Gu Hongwei spoke the number that they had agreed upon beforehand.
They had pondered this issue beforehand. If they ordered too little, Yuan Wenqing might look down at the business for being too small and not wish to cooperate. Moreover, even if Yuan Wenqing was willing, too few units wouldn’t be cost-effective since they needed to consider shipping costs.
If the order was too large, it would strain their capital. Five hundred units was within their means.
Yuan Wenqing nodded, but he didn’t give an immediate answer or mention the price. Gu Hongwei found it tricky to gauge Yuan Wenqing’s intentions, so he remained silent and waited patiently.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhichu helped, saying: "Uncle, they are still young and don’t have much savings from just starting their business. Therefore, they could only make a small order initially. When their path is cleared, they would increase the order. Maybe next time they won’t just want radios, but TVs as well. Please, for my sake, give these young men a chance to start their venture."
Upon hearing his nephew’s words, Yuan Wenqing laughed heartily, "You, despite still in school, have already learned the smooth talk of a businessman."
After speaking, he looked at Gu Hongwei and said, "Young man, Zhichu has mentioned your ideas to me before. I don’t mind selling to you as selling goods to anyone is a way to make money. However, I have a better suggestion. I don’t know if you’ll mind me being verbose, are you willing to hear what this old man has to say?"
