With the advance payment, materials came in quickly. The two CNC machine tools sent by Shentu Tianyin also played a huge role. Xia Lei and the employees of Thunder Horse Studio worked overtime. The order that was originally planned to take twenty days to complete was completed in half a month.
In the past half month, Xia Lei's lip reading ability has reached a high level. Coupled with the ability of his left eye, he can now interpret ordinary daily expressions very quickly. This seemed to be his biggest gain in the past half month, and the profits from this business came second.
After the order was completed, Xia Lei called Chi Jingqiu. Chi Jingqiu quickly brought someone over to pick up the goods and also paid the balance.
"Yes, the quality is stable and the speed is fast." Chi Jingqiu smiled happily, "Our cooperation has just begun, and we will definitely make more money in the future."
Xia Lei smiled disapprovingly. In this business, Chi Jingqiu took away 8% of the profit without doing almost anything. He had been working hard for half a month. Excluding the expenses of materials and labor, he only earned 50% of the profit. It looks like ten thousand yuan. What's more, Chi Jingqiu is the sole agent in this business. She must have hidden income, and she may earn more than him.
This was unfair and made him realize the importance of connections and information in the business world. If he wants to make his career bigger and stronger, he must build his own circle of contacts and information network.
"You've made money, how about buying me a drink?" Chi Jingqiu looked at Xia Lei with a smile, looking like a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.
Xia Lei said, "Why don't you stay here to eat? I'll ask Sister Chen to cook her best pork stewed vermicelli."
"Then forget it." Chi Jingqiu refused immediately.
At this time, Chi Jingqiu's cell phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and walked out of Lei Ma Studio. She didn't stop to answer the phone until she felt that Xia Lei couldn't hear her.
Xia Lei leaned against the door frame and looked quietly at Chi Jingqiu who answered the phone. He couldn't hear Chi Jingqiu's voice, but he could see Chi Jingqiu's lips, and he was interpreting Chi Jingqiu's words in real time in his heart.
"Hello, Sister Liu. Oops, I haven't contacted you for so long. I almost miss me. Haha... It's like this. Our company is currently discussing a wind power project with Vientiane Group. It is a project worth one billion. Now everyone in the company is busy with this matter, and they can't take your order at all... How about this? I know a friend who can take your order... No problem, you don't have to worry about the quality. I just said He also helps Beechcraft Motor Company take goods away from him. I can guarantee you that the things he makes are better than those made by the engineers in our company... Hmm, okay... "
Chi Jingqiu smiled happily, and she didn't realize that Xia Lei, who was about ten meters away from him, was looking at her intently. In fact, Xia Lei was not only capturing the changes in her lips and mouth shape and interpreting her lip language, he also saw the phone number on the phone screen. A smile appeared on Xia Lei's face, and he looked very happy.
Chi Jingqiu was still on the phone with "Sister Liu", "You told us before that Dongfang Heavy Industries would customize a set for 320 yuan. Let's do this. I'll give you a preferential price, just 311 yuan... Of course, I I will ask my friend to process a sample for you to see and ensure you are satisfied, but you have to send me a copy of the information... Well, just email... "
After ending the call, Chi Jingqiu waited until the email was transmitted before walking towards Xia Lei.
Xia Lei said with a smile: "Jingqiu, it was your husband who called you, right? He's checking your status."
Chi Jingqiu chuckled and said: "I can take off duty at any time, but you don't dare to come to work. Is it interesting for you to make such a joke with me?"
Xia Lei said: "The goods have been handed over to you. If I treat you to dinner and you won't show appreciation, then let's leave it at that. Let's talk next time."
"No, no." Chi Jingqiu followed, "I don't know if you are lucky or I am lucky, but another business has come to my door."
Xia Lei pretended to be surprised, "Uh, what kind of business is it?"
"This time the customer wants a kit." Chi Jingqiu handed the phone to Xia Lei, but instead of handing it to Xia Lei, she stayed close to him and looked at the pictures and information on the phone with him.
Xia Lei took a look and had a rough idea. The kit requested by the other party has high requirements on materials and precision, but it is not the kind that is difficult to process.
"Are you sure?" Chi Jingqiu asked.
Xia Lei nodded, "It can be done, it's not complicated."
Chi Jingqiu smiled and said: "As long as you can do it, let me tell you, this is a big order. I have just negotiated the price with the customer, and I tried my best to get a good price."
"How much?" Xia Lei asked.
"Two hundred and sixty." Chi Jingqiu said a price, and then said excitedly: "Leizi, you can process a set of samples yourself and I will show them to the customer. The other party will definitely be satisfied. Let's win this This order is no problem at all.”
Xia Lei said with a smile: "Okay, you can come and get it tomorrow afternoon."
Chi Jingqiu said: "Okay, I will transfer the information to your computer now."
Seeing Chi Jingqiu walking to his desk to operate the computer, a sneer appeared on Xia Lei's lips, "Damn, I gave you three hundred and one, but you hid it for fifty, I will give you 100% later." Eighty-eight percent of the commission, if you eat from the east and west, your appetite will be too big, right?"
Chi Jingqiu quickly completed the operation and returned to Xia Lei. "It's done. I'll save the information on the desktop. You can take a look at it and then work on a set of samples."
Xia Lei said: "Don't worry, aren't you still worried about what I'm doing?"
"You are down-to-earth, that's what I like about you. See you tomorrow." Chi Jingqiu patted Xia Lei's waist, then swayed her hips and walked towards her public cc. Then, she drove the light truck pulling the goods into the driveway and left quickly.
Ma Xiaoan came up and said, "Leizi, this girl is quite sexy, but her nails are too long. She takes an 8% commission every time. We don't have much money to make."
Xia Lei said: "She won't be able to catch it for long."
Ma Xiaoan smiled and said: "I think she seems to be very interested in you. How about you use a beauty trick and sacrifice your looks to make her pay less?"
"Go, go, stay here." Xia Lei cursed with a smile.
Ma Xiaoan looked very serious, "Otherwise, I can do it, and I will sacrifice my appearance for the sake of our studio."
Xia Lei slapped him, "Stop joking, I'm telling you business." After a pause, he said: "Take Xiaohong and the others to dinner tonight, and pay Sister Chen and the others this month's salary in advance. Personal bonus of two thousand."
Ma Xiaoan held out a thumb and said, "Justice." Then he looked at Xia Lei and said, "Aren't you going?"
Xia Lei said: "I want to meet the client that Chi Jingqiu contacted."
Ma Xiaoan was stunned for a moment, "That woman Chi Jingqiu is so cunning. She is even ten meters away from you when she is on the phone. You don't even know the customer's last name. How can you go see her?"
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. I don't like to be a money-making machine for Chi Jingqiu. We always have to find our long-term customers."
"Okay, I will make it clear to everyone. This matter is very important, and everyone will understand." Ma Xiaoan said.
After chatting for a while, Xia Lei processed the sample based on the drawings and parameters left by Chi Jingqiu. Ma Xiaoan took Chen Ajiao and others to the restaurant to celebrate the completion of the first order. Not long after they left, Xia Lei also completed the processing of the samples, and he left the Thunder Horse Studio with the samples.
On the way, Xia Lei dialed the mobile phone number he remembered.
The other party's cell phone only rang three times and the other party hung up the phone.
Many people won’t answer unknown numbers.
Xia Lei frowned slightly, but he was not discouraged and dialed the mobile number again.
This time, after eight rings, the other party answered the call. It was a woman's voice, "Hello? Who are you?"
Xia Lei took a breath and said in a polite tone: "Is this Sister Liu?"
"Yes, I am, who are you?" The other party was not polite at all, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone.
Xia Lei said: "I am Chi Jingqiu's friend. She asked me to send you samples. Is it convenient for you now?"
"So that's it. I'm at home. You can bring your things to my house. I live on the Gold Coast, No. 28, Building B." With just this sentence, the other party hung up the phone.
Xia Lei put away the phone, hailed a taxi and headed straight to the Gold Coast Community.
Gold Coast is a well-known wealthy community in Haizhu City. It is on the seaside and you can enjoy beautiful sea views all day long. However, the houses here, even the elevator apartments, are very ordinary. Ordinary people can't even think about it, let alone buy one to live in.
Xia Lei filled out the form at the gate guard, walked along a promenade with palm olive trees, and soon found No. 28, Building B. It was a three-story European-style villa with a market value of tens of millions. Although they haven't met yet and don't know each other well, Xia Lei can still guess something about the value of this villa. That "Sister Liu" must be the boss of a certain company. People who work for people will never live in a villa like this even if they work for a lifetime!
Xia Lei walked to the door and reached out to knock on the door. However, when he raised his hand, he put it down again, and he secretly said in his heart: "When we meet for the first time, what can I do to make people believe me? What's more, I have to leave Chi Jingqiu to discuss business with her, and will She became a long-term customer of mine. If I just went in like this, they might send me away with just a few words. Wouldn't my trip be in vain, and would Chi Jingqiu be even more wary of me? No, I have to find a way to get it. More information would be helpful… ”
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Xia Lei's left eye suddenly jumped slightly, and the security door in front of him disappeared in front of him two seconds later.
In the living room, an old man was sitting on the sofa watching news programs. A three-year-old boy was playing with toys on the carpet. There were a lot of toys piled around him, including Transformers, Lego blocks, remote control cars, marbles and so on. A middle-aged nanny was cleaning the handrail of the stairs. From time to time, she looked back at the little boy beside the old man.
No one in the living room matched the characteristics of "Sister Liu". Xia Lei then raised his head and looked towards the second floor. The wall on the second floor disappeared from his sight as if the ice and snow melted away, and a woman also entered his sight.
She is in her early thirties, has an oval face, delicate facial features, and her beauty is not inferior to those of young women in their early twenties. However, her figure has grown slightly and she looks a little fat. She is a voluptuous mature woman. However, being fat doesn't seem to affect her figure. The curves of her body are actually undulating. She is big where she should be, and she is curved where she should be. Coupled with her fair and tender skin, her sexiness is all on display. The bright place is visible at a glance.
The woman was changing clothes in front of a large wardrobe. She took off her ol' business attire and put on a looser cotton skirt. During the half minute she was changing clothes, Xia Lei saw a piece of white skin and tender flesh. She was like a piece of cake with butter spread on it. Just looking at it made her feel sweet and delicious.
"It's really unexpected that a fat woman can be so sexy and eye-catching... What am I doing? I'm here to discuss business, not to appreciate beauties." Xia Lei then moved his eyes away and looked at other places in the room. There was also a sense of anxiety in his heart. This time, through perspective, he didn't get any information that could help him negotiate a deal.
