Chapter 8 – Large order

"This father is becoming more and more excessive."

Xu Fei woke up to find that Old Xu hadn't made breakfast again.

After washing up, he sat on the doorstep and stared into space.

He pulled out an electric wire from the house and ran to the hidden area he had chosen in the yard last night, summoning the core of the base.

Setting the safety standards for household electricity, Xu Fei nervously produced 20  jumping rabbits, 20  rocking chickens, and 20  burrowing moles.

Together with 40  jumping frogs, he stuffed them all into Old Xu's marching bag.

Then he headed straight for the north gate of Yellow Mud Hillock.

Last night, when Xu Fei went to the store, he found that there were many different styles of  toys. He asked the shop owner, who listed more than twenty of them in one breath.

With only 10521 energy on hand, he could only activate ten model card slots. Of course, he had to choose the easiest ones to sell.

Therefore, Xu Fei decided to do some market research.

Sell toys while asking the children what they like.

After collecting the results, he would decide what to produce.

He arrived at the north gate.

Today was the small market, and the vendors were sparse, with few people on the street.

Xu Fei originally planned to find a random place to set up a stall, but he smelled the fragrance of the steamed buns from the bun shop and felt the more than 2,600 yuan in his pocket...

"We're so rich now."

"From now on, we must eat breakfast every day."

"And starting today, we must develop a healthy lifestyle. No smoking, no drinking, no chatting with strange girls. Wake up at six in the morning and go to bed at eleven at night. Exercise regularly, keep a clear mind, and try to live longer."

"Why does it feel like this is similar to Big Cousin's life?"

Big Cousin is a hero.

Broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, generous, emotional, and loyal, he is very much like Lu Zhishen in Water Margin.

Every time he comes to Xu's village on his heavy motorcycle, he takes his cousin to broaden his horizons and buys a lot of delicious food and drinks.

But three years ago, at the county's Bai Nao Hui, Big Cousin got into trouble for his sworn brother and ended up slashing through the street with a machete. He accidentally entered the police station and never came out again.

"Calculating the days..."

"I wonder if he can attend our child's wedding."

Xu Fei felt a little sad as he looked at the ten little buns in front of him, losing his appetite.

"When we make big money, we must visit Big Cousin and take care of him a bit, so that he can live more comfortably inside."

Lost in thought, he gave the buns to two old grannies who were looking at bicycles, then returned to the north gate, spread out the bundle, and set up four types of toys, with a sign that read 'One yuan per item' on a plywood board.

Then he sat on the curb and searched for children around.

At this moment.

A middle-aged man in a cadre's uniform rode his bicycle past at lightning speed.

Five seconds later.

The man limped back, took a look, and tentatively said, "Xu Fei?"

"Yeah?"

"It really is you. What are you doing here selling things?"

"Selling toys. Who are you?"

"I'm Old Liu, from the neighboring village. Do you remember me?"

"No."

"When you were a child, around six or seven years old, there was someone who often brought tea to your grandfather."

Xu Fei frowned and thought. During that age, his grandfather was the Factory Director at the fan factory in the township, and there was indeed a salesperson who often came to deliver tea. Later, when Xu's grandfather passed away, he even attended the funeral. According to Second Uncle, he is now the village head and seems to be called...

"Liu Sixi?!"

"Yeah!"

"How come you're bald after not seeing each other for a few years?" Xu Fei wasn't afraid of the village head, after all, Old Xu had also been a deputy bureau chief.

"Just worried." Liu Sixi bypassed the stall and sat on the curb next to Xu Fei. "I heard you got into a foreign enterprise from your father?"

Xu Fei's face stiffened. Although he wanted to make it seem like he had entered a foreign enterprise, it was only to show Old Xu. He didn't want the made-up story to spread everywhere. "No, don't listen to him."

"How is that possible? I've seen the employment contract."

"..."

Seeing Xu Fei's silence, Liu Sixi glanced at the toy stall and took out a box of dried plum cigarettes from his jacket pocket. He pinched out two wrinkled cigarette rolls. "Want one?"

"No, thanks."

"It's better not to smoke. It's addictive." Liu Sixi took a puff. "Being a sales manager in a foreign enterprise must be tiring, right?"

"It's alright. Just selling toys."

As they were talking, Huang Banxian, who was supposed to go to another town for consignment, turned the corner on his motorbike and ran over in a crazy manner. "Little nephew!"

"Yeah?"

"Manager Xu, a big deal!" Huang Banxian jumped off his bike, glanced at the village head without any courtesy, and sat on the other side of Xu Fei, excitedly saying, "Encountered a big customer."

"How big?"

"Pick-up, no limit!"

"Wow..."

"But he gave a list of goods." Huang Banxian took out a piece of letter paper. "I don't know if the company has them."

Xu Fei took a look.

Iron skin jumping frog (wind-up), starting from 10,000 pieces.

Iron skin acrobatic horse (wind-up), starting from 10,000 pieces.

Iron skin jumping rabbit (wind-up), starting from 10,000 pieces.

Desktop mini fan...

Children's electronic watch...

"The first five are no problem, I need to apply for the next five, and our region currently does not have a production line."

Xu Fei didn't know if the Iron skin toys with reverse momentum could be produced using the No. 1 basic production line. He planned to experiment first and then determine if they could be produced. "By the way, Lao Huang, do you know what the other party does?"

"Foreign trade, mainly sold to India. I'm worried that he will find our overseas branch, so I quickly took the order."

"To hell with the overseas branch. Foreign enterprises are all nonsense. He must be out of his mind if he can find it."

Xu Fei wanted to ask something else, but he noticed that Village Chief Liu Sixi was eavesdropping and secretly signaled Lao Huang to speak aside. "Could it be a scam?"

Huang Half Blind hesitated, "Manager, do you know the owner of the Small Lake Town Toy Factory?"

"I know."

"You know?" Disappointment flashed in Huang Half Blind's eyes. "If you know, then we can't do this business."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know who spread the news about me being expelled from school for mental illness to Yellow Mud Hillock? Especially spreading rumors that I have rabies!"

"Who?!"

"The son of the owner of the Small Lake Town Toy Factory, the lackey of the county's richest man. I must give him a good beating when the time comes!"

"In that case, we must do this business!" Huang Half Blind was overjoyed and clenched his fist in solidarity. "Today, I originally planned to go to another town to negotiate consignment, but when I passed by the Small Lake Town Toy Factory, I had a sudden inspiration. I hid my car and went to their door to intercept the order."

"..."

"I waited there all morning, and I actually managed to intercept it. I stopped a luxury car on Lin Yin Avenue. At first, the other party didn't take me seriously, but when I showed him a pack of Huaxia cigarettes, his expression immediately eased. He invited me into the car to chat..."

Afterwards, we reached an agreement. I'm not worried that the other party is a scammer, but the other party is worried that I am a scammer. They gave me a list without a deposit and said to inspect and settle the payment on the spot. After getting out of the car, I was afraid of being beaten by the toy factory security, so I hurried back."

Saying that, Huang Half Blind took out a piece of paper. "This is the other party's contact information. They require delivery of the minimum supply amount within a week. Oh, and to prove themselves, they took away 2,000 Iron skin frogs from me and gave me 3,000 yuan."

"3,000?"

"Before intercepting the order, I sneaked into the toy factory to inquire. The cost of their tin frogs is 1.8 yuan, with a minimum price of 2 yuan. So I quoted 1.5 yuan and got the order."

"..."

"This is today's payment." Huang Half Blind took out a stack of red Wei Ren banknotes from his wallet. "They were issued in October and they're not fake. I checked."

"You keep it."

"Why?"

"Although the other party doesn't set a limit on the supply, the first batch of deliveries should not exceed 100,000 pieces. So, with this calculation, the payment is 150,000 yuan. I'll give you a 20% commission, which means I still owe you 27,000 yuan."

"So much?" Huang Half Blind trembled. "Manager, let's split it fifty-fifty. You've been pushing for sales all this time and haven't taken any commission. No, let's split it 80-20, with you getting 80% and me getting 20%."

"Lao Huang, don't you understand yet?"

"What?"

"The money you received, is it from the company or from me?"

"This..."

"The company is only responsible for supplying the goods. The price is set at 1 yuan. Whether we sell more or less, it all goes to me. Any commission or rebate is up to me, deducted from my salary." Xu Fei patted Huang Half Blind's shoulder and tried to recall the tactics his grandfather used to win people over. He said, "The reason I gave you so much money is not for you to save it, but for you to package yourself. Just like today, when someone underestimates you, right?

If you wear a complete set of high-end suits, shiny leather shoes, and a small tie, and then buy a high-end car when you have money, and wear a 'TEP' work badge on your chest, who would dare to underestimate us?

When the sales volume goes up, I'll get promoted and a raise, and you can take a big commission. The two of us... no, the two of us, uncle and nephew, will not only succeed, but we might even leave behind a good story."

Huang Half Blind suddenly froze, and after a moment, tears welled up in his eyes. "Little nephew, you know what kind of person I am. No one has ever valued me so much..."

"I won't say anymore. Work hard. As the regional sales manager, I should have my own team and have the power to hire a few regular employees. I have faith in you. Once you complete this order, I'll arrange for you to join the company."

After speaking, Xu Fei suddenly wanted to slap himself a few times.

We have to get out of this 'foreign enterprise' trap!

Why are we sinking deeper and bringing others along?

Suddenly, Huang Half Blind hugged his thigh and said, "Little nephew, I've never wished you a Happy New Year before, so I'll do it today!"

"Go play by yourself!"

Xu Fei dodged and walked towards his own stall.Looking up, he saw the village chief Liu Sixi, who had stayed at the stall. In his left hand, he held a hopping rabbit, and in his right, a jumping frog. He hopped around while shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Buy my Iron skin hopping frog, and your kids will be top-notch."

"Buy my Iron skin hopping rabbit, and your kids will be rich from a young age."

"Buy my Iron skin swinging chicken, and your kids will fly in planes."

"Buy my Iron skin burrowing rat..."

"Hey, Teacher Huang, want to buy a few?"

"What? Director Sun, you want seven?"

"Mayor Zhou, don't leave!"

"Hey, you, yes you, come over and buy five!"

Xu Fei was slightly stunned as he looked at Half Blind Huang, who was crying his eyes out. "Why do we have so many talents in our Yellow Mud Hillock?"
