Chapter 21 Still thinking about doing business

“What cars in our price range of 500,000 to 600,000 are more business-oriented? Can you give me the price list?”

Chen Mo asked.

After continuously asking questions, he finally figured out that the maximum amount the system allowed him to spend on a car was around 600,000.

So he wanted to look at the price list of cars close to 600,000 and then choose the most expensive one on the list.

Moreover, through his earlier probing, he also discovered that the types of vehicles the system allowed him to buy were limited, mostly practical business cars.

If he wanted to buy a small sports car, it would not be within the system's allowed range.

“Okay, please wait a moment, I’ll go get it.”

The salesperson said stiffly and then turned to leave.

Based on her many years of experience, the longer a customer looked at cars, the smaller the chance of a sale.

So she no longer held out hope for a deal, but out of professional courtesy, she still agreed to get the price list.

Not long after,

The salesperson returned with a price list.

“This is the price list you requested; all the vehicles in your desired price range are included.”

Chen Mo took the price list and didn't look at the car configurations, directly checking the price listed after each vehicle.

Finally, his gaze landed on a car priced at over 590,000.

“I’ll take this one.”

Chen Mo said, pointing at a Mercedes on the price list.

The salesperson was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted.

She looked at the model Chen Mo was pointing at and quickly spoke.

“Sir, this car currently has a promotional offer; it can be acquired for about 580,000.”

Discount?

Chen Mo heard the word “discount” and subconsciously frowned.

Just as he was about to refuse the discount, he heard the salesperson speak again.

“However, there’s also a 620,000 version of this car, and that one has an even bigger discount; if paid in full, it can be acquired for 600,000.”

600,000!

Chen Mo’s eyes lit up, and the words he was about to say instantly went back down, changing his mind.

“Then I’ll take the 600,000 one.”

“Okay! Please follow me; let’s sign the contract first.”

The salesperson enthusiastically led Chen Mo and the others to a Room, and soon brought over a contract.

After the contract was signed,

Chen Mo paid the full amount for the car directly, under the salesperson’s surprised gaze.

Watching Chen Mo and the others leave, the salesperson couldn't help but sigh.

This was probably the most indecisive customer she had ever seen, but also the most decisive one.

……….

“Brother Yang, this car will be under your care from now on.”

On the way back, Chen Mo said to Yang Dahai.

“Yes, President Chen.”

Yang Dahai nodded and continued to concentrate on driving.

This was the best car he had ever driven, and he dared not be careless, fearing any scratches or bumps.

“By the way, Brother Yang, was Hong Jie a chef before? Her cooking is really good.”

Chen Mo suddenly remembered the idea of building a cafeteria last night and asked.

“Oh, her father was a chef, and she learned some skills from him since she was little.”

“This is what I’m thinking: the company is planning to build a cafeteria and hire several chefs. I think Hong Jie’s cooking skills are excellent and she can definitely handle the job.”

“The salary can be 7,500 a month.”

Chen Mo said earnestly. Last night, he roughly understood chefs’ salaries; head chefs usually earn between 6,000 and 10,000. Although Dong Hong’s cooking was good, there was still a significant gap compared to real head chefs.

So, 7,500 was the highest salary he could offer, but it could be increased as her culinary skills improved in the future.

“Thank you, President Chen, but I can’t make the decision on this matter. I’ll ask her after work tonight.”

Yang Dahai expressed his gratitude. 7,500 a month was already double Dong Hong’s current salary.

If he didn't need to drive, he would have rushed back to tell his wife right now.

Although he said he couldn't make the decision, he believed that as soon as he told his wife, she would definitely agree.

This way, their combined salaries would be 15,500, and if full attendance was included, it would be 16,300.

Their family’s financial situation would instantly transform from difficult to comfortable.

And all these changes were brought about by the young man in the car.

His heart was filled with gratitude, but he didn't know how to repay him, so he could only work hard.

Chen Mo didn't know Yang Dahai's thoughts, but he was calculating his grand spending plan.

One star-rated head chef for 15,000, hiring three, plus Hong Jie, would be over 50,000 in total.

Just having chefs wasn't enough; there also needed to be assistants and cleaning staff, which would be another expense.

Excellent,

The method of building a cafeteria was completely feasible.

Next was finding a place for the cafeteria. The current workshop definitely wouldn't work; there wasn't enough space.

When they returned to the company, he could check if there were any vacant workshops for rent within the Industrial Park, and then he could rent one to use as a cafeteria.

Rent would be another expense,

And the cafeteria would also need renovation, plus purchasing some kitchenware and dining tables and chairs. If managed properly, it could completely spend all the remaining system funds in one go.

However, even if the system funds were spent, he couldn't relax too much; he also needed to pay attention to the Clothing Factory orders.

Otherwise, if a large order payment suddenly entered the company account during settlement, wouldn't he lose a fortune?

Thinking of this, Chen Mo felt a pang of heartache.

That scoundrel Wei Yan, this time he must be watched more closely; let him run as few errands as possible.

The vehicle slowly drove,

And soon arrived at the company.

“President Chen, you called for me.”

Wei Yan came to the office and asked Chen Mo.

“Do you have anything today?”

Chen Mo asked casually.

“I’m preparing to meet with a few clients.”

“Put the client meetings aside for now. I’m planning to build a company cafeteria. Otherwise, it’s too unhealthy for employees to eat boxed meals every day. You can ask the person in charge of the Industrial Park to check if there are any vacant workshops around our company, the closer the better.”

Wei Yan secretly sighed. As a salesperson, he hadn't gone out to run errands for several days.

However, since President Chen had already given instructions, he couldn't refuse.

He could only nod helplessly.

“Okay, President Chen, I’ll go check right away.”

“Mm.”

Chen Mo nodded and watched Wei Yan leave.

Still thinking of going out to run errands? Don’t even think about it.

……….

Wei Yan left the office and walked towards the office building of this Industrial Park.

He had been there a few times before and was quite familiar with Manager Li of the Industrial Park.

He arrived at the office building with ease and found the Manager Li’s office.

He knocked on the door, and a response quickly came from inside.

“Come in!”

He pushed the door open and entered.

“Manager Li, busy?”

Wei Yan looked at the bald man sitting in the office chair and said with a smile.

Li Maode recognized Wei Yan, extended his hand to point at the chair in front, his tone neither warm nor cold.

“Oh, Little Wei, come sit. Is there something you need?”

“Oh, I just came to ask if there are any unrented workshops left in the Industrial Park.”

“Yes!”

As soon as Li Maode heard that he wanted to rent a workshop, he immediately became interested and quickly pulled out the Industrial Park’s layout map.

Wei Yan leaned over and looked at it with him.

After a while,

Wei Yan stood up.

“Okay, I understand now, but I need to go back and report to my boss.”

“Mm, I’ll wait for your news.”

Wei Yan nodded, about to leave, but his peripheral vision caught sight of a drawing.

As a salesperson for a Clothing Factory, he recognized it as a clothing sample pattern at a glance.

Thinking of this, he casually asked,

“Manager Li, are you planning to make clothes?”

“Oh, my boss wants me to find a Clothing Factory to make a batch of work uniforms.”

Li Maode picked up the clothing sample pattern from the desk, then looked up at Wei Yan and suddenly realized,

“I remember your company makes clothes, right?”
