Rising from the age of thirty

Chapter 108: One hundred million is not enough

Lu Le whispered to the old man at the door, "Uncle, tell me the bottom price of those equipments. I won't lose you money after the deal is done."

"Really?"

The old man at the door has been guarding the door for more than two years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a good thing.

My wife used to say that being a doorman was a dead end, but now? It's still profitable.

It just so happened that he knew the prices of the equipment in the factory very well.

"Why would I lie to you? There's no benefit in that!"

The old man at the door thought about it and agreed, yes, Lui Lok did need a favor from someone!
"Tell me a number first."

Lu Le held up a finger and said, "I am here on behalf of the company as well. I can give you one thousand yuan. It is not easy for me as a worker to complete the performance. Please help me."

One thousand yuan was half a month's salary for him. The old man at the door was so surprised that he completely forgot about Lui Lok's identity. A man driving a Mercedes-Benz, talking about performance? A worker doing market research?

"Okay, I'll tell you. The original price of the packaging machine was 7 yuan. My son once said that he would sell it for yuan. It should be the reserve price. And..."

The old man mentioned a bunch of equipment, and Lu Lequan remembered them all. After a while, the two of them completed the transaction.

"Thank you, sir. You are so kind."

"What are you thanking me for? It's just a small favor."

Tie Niu gave Lu Le a thumbs up.

The old man reacted, his mouth twitched, and he looked helpless. Lu Le and Tie Niu entered the factory and explained their purpose. A manager came over immediately.

"What do you two need?"

Lu Le pointed to the equipment displayed around him and said, "See if there is anything suitable."

"Our equipment is affordable and there is no other company in the country that has such a complete range of equipment. We can even customize it to your requirements."

Tie Niu glanced at him, his face excited: "Brother Le, look at this one, does it look like it?"

"Exactly the same."

That’s right, the automated equipment they saw was from Boss Tan’s factory. When Tie Niu reached out to touch it, Boss Tan stopped him.

"It's a new model from an old brand, it performs well, has almost no glitches, and many businesses want it."

Tie Niu asked curiously, "How much does it cost to get this machine?"

"One hundred and one thousand dollars of equipment."

“No discount?”

"Boss, this is already the cheapest price. You get what you pay for."

Lu Le calculated in his mind that this brand was one of the ones the old man mentioned, and the lowest transaction price was 8.8. The man in front of him directly asked for , which was a bit extravagant.

"Manager Ma, do you have a machine with the same function as this one? How much does it cost?"

"You mean the automated baling machine? The original price is 70,000. If you want it, I'll give you a 2,000 discount, making it 68,000. How about that?"

"What about the cold storage?"

"It needs to be professionally customized, similar to the one in front of you, and it only costs 8 yuan."

"What about the automatic cleaning machine?"

"forty thousand."

Lui Le shook his head, interrupting what Manager Ma was about to say: "Come on, come on, Manager Ma, it's okay to charge new customers, it's not like we don't have acquaintances."

acquaintance?

Manager Ma said calmly: "Hey, you should have told me earlier. The price is different for acquaintances." "For this machine, I'll pay 4.8!"

The base price Lu Le got from the old man was 50,000, but he still wanted to lower the price.

Manager Ma shook his head vigorously: "4.8, and you bargained it down to ?"

"Well, the budget is limited. If the manager can make the decision, just buy it. I'll introduce more to you later."

Manager Ma felt helpless because Lu Le guessed the lowest price right after he opened his mouth and there was no way he could sell it at any lower price. It was as if he had come prepared!
Combined with Lu Le's introduction from an acquaintance, Manager Ma basically had no room for maneuver.

Manager Ma reluctantly said, "Boss, 4.8 is too low. We have never sold it at this price before, and the demand has been exceeding the supply recently."

"Why are you in such a hurry? We don't just want a piece of equipment. Just say a word."

"Ok."

Manager Ma had no idea that this was just the beginning. The price that Lu Le cut later made him question his life, as all of them were almost the lowest prices.
Cooking equipment, such as stoves, woks, steamers, ovens, etc., which are used to cook semi-finished dishes, are all sold at the lowest price. Manager Ma was in tears and tried to negotiate the price with Lu Le, but the discussion was unsuccessful as he was completely controlled.

There are also packaging equipment, such as vacuum packaging machines, sealing machines, plastic wrap, plastic boxes or aluminum foil lunch boxes, etc., to ensure that the dishes are sealed and fresh.

Refrigeration and freezing equipment, ice storage, refrigerators, freezers, etc., are used to store pre-prepared dishes that have been processed and packaged.

Automatic cleaning equipment, bubble cleaning machine, hair roller cleaning machine, eddy current cleaning machine, blanching equipment, air drying machine, pre-cooling equipment, etc., used for pre-treatment and extending the shelf life of dishes, etc.!
All of the above cost Lu Le more than 700,000 yuan.

Manager Ma had a rough idea in his mind. The manufacturer still made a profit, just not much. "Boss, where do you want to deliver the goods? We only deliver within 30 kilometers. If it's farther, there will be a freight charge."

"Tie Niu, you say."

Tie Niu took out his phone, looked at the address on it and replied: "Oh, I'll deliver it to No. **** in Focheng tomorrow."

This is the location for the factory that Tieniu found. The annual rent is 20 yuan and the space is more than square meters, which is enough. It is also well decorated and has water and electricity.

It cost more than 700,000 yuan to buy the equipment, plus other subsequent expenses of the factory, it will cost almost 1 million yuan. Cold chain transportation also requires a large truck worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, but that's all we have for now.

Now, everything is ready to enter the pre-prepared food market, except for the right opportunity.

"Remember Tieniu, you must pay attention to food safety issues, especially hygiene. Get all the certificates done in the early stages, and don't be careless in any link."

I’ll ask Tie Niu to handle the rest of the business licenses and health permits. If you encounter any problems, you can talk to He Mei. The latter is the son of an official, and sometimes a word from her can help you avoid many detours.

……

When Lui Lok returned home, another piece of news came: the person that He Mei helped to find was unable to arrange for the two children to attend the Zhi Duo Xing Kindergarten! !
"Brother Le, Mastermind responded that your conditions are still a little lacking."

Lui Lok thought again: "Maybe he despises me because I'm a nouveau riche, I have no fame, and I don't have much of a future."

Apart from a restaurant, there is nothing else to show off.

And it's second-hand.

Those high-ranking officials and nobles were either the bosses of large companies, or had assets worth billions, or were local tycoons, and he was at best at the bottom of the list.

"In my opinion, if you have a villa in Shanshui International, it will be taken over in minutes."

"how do I say this?"

He Mei immediately explained.

It is said that Zhiduoxing Kindergarten mainly accepts children from Shanshui International, where the people living are rich and powerful.

It can be said that owning a house in Shanshui International is a symbol of status.

"The house prices at Shanshui International are too high. Even I can only dream of it. Besides, they won't sell without someone introducing them. Capital verification is the first step."

"I see."

Today, although Lui Lok is worth over 100 million yuan, he also feels powerless. It turns out that there are differences among rich people. So, this 100 million yuan is not enough in front of the real rich people.
