Chapter 244 A man won’t shed tears easily

As they chatted, Boss Lan discovered that the friend he had just made always seemed to have a sad look on his face. He would look towards the street from time to time and would occasionally become distracted, as if he had something on his mind.

So he spoke faster than his brain and asked with concern.

"Brother Jia, do you have any difficulties?"

"No, nothing, nothing." Although he said this, the sadness on Jia Ming's face deepened.

Boss Lan: "If you trust Brother Jia, you can tell me about it. I may not be able to help, but as the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang."

If Bai Tao were here at this moment, she would definitely be shocked and say that this was just asking for trouble.

Sometimes, people should not be too curious, after all, curiosity kills the cat.

Jia Ming also knew when to stop, so he made an expression of gratitude to Boss Lan for his concern and sighed.

"Hey, I'm unlucky too."

After a pause, Jia Ming took a sip of tea and continued, "The goods have been delivered, but the other party is unable to pay the remaining payment. It was a good business, but now I am in trouble."

Boss Lan raised his eyebrows: "Brother, don't we have a contract?" When doing business, fulfilling the contract is one of the basic principles.

Jia Ming shook his head and said bitterly, "There is a contract, but the other party's family suddenly had an accident and sold the shop to pay off the debt. He really can't pay the remaining payment."

"That's really troublesome." Boss Lan said regretfully.

People who do business are most afraid of encountering such a situation, so if the partner has a large financial background, the probability of such a situation occurring will be much smaller.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the 'You Are the Richest' bank, which indirectly helps everyone screen out a group of merchants with good financial resources.

Jia Ming complained in distress: "It's very troublesome. Now I have to find a buyer for this batch of silk in my hand, but it's not easy to find a buyer on short notice."

"But I just received a letter from home saying that my mother is suddenly seriously ill. I have to go back as soon as possible..."

When Boss Lan heard that the other party had a batch of silk to sell, he immediately had an idea.

Silk?

If it's silk, he can help, but it depends on the price, after all, he is also a businessman.

Boss Lan thought for a moment and then asked the price.

When Jia Ming saw that the other party was walking in his direction, he was delighted, but he still looked worried.

"The price is naturally good, 20% lower than the current market price."

After saying this, seeing the surprise on Boss Lan's face, Jia Ming smiled and explained: "The previous buyer has paid 30% of the purchase price."

"But they broke the contract first, so the 30% of the payment is naturally for me, so I just need to make less loss on this trip."

"I have an emergency at home. My father is gone. If I can't go back to be by my mother's bedside and show my filial piety, then what kind of son would I be..."

When Boss Lan heard this, he nodded in agreement and praised, "Brother Jia is a filial man."

Jia Ming smiled shyly and said as a matter of course: "If there is no mother, there will be no me."

Although Boss Lan was tempted, he didn't speak immediately. The two chatted for a while before going back to their rooms.

the next day.

Boss Lan was about to go to Qianzi Cloth Shop in Baijiabao when he saw Jia Ming talking to a businessman not far from the inn. "A 20% profit margin is already a lot. If it's any lower, I'll lose too much..."

Not knowing what the other party said, Jia Ming looked embarrassed. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "25%. This is the lowest."

Boss Lan, who originally wanted to go to Baijiabao Cloth Shop, suddenly felt something in his mind and subconsciously slowed down his pace. Finally, he pretended to look at something at the street stall next to him.

Perhaps the businessman wanted to take advantage of the situation and did not agree, so Jia Ming also shook his head: "Then you should think about it again."

"It's 30% off, I'll take it right away. If you don't like it, then you can just keep it and lose money!" After saying this, the businessman flicked his sleeves and left with a snort.

Jia Ming stretched out his hand to call the man to stop, but he retracted his hand halfway, as if he was hit. He was dejected and did not notice the figure of Boss Lan.

It was not until Boss Lan stood in front of him, blocking his way, that he looked up and realized what was happening. He was stunned for a moment, and forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "Brother Lan, weren't you going to Baijiabao Cloth Shop early this morning? Why…"

Boss Lan: "Brother Jia, who was that person just now?"

Jia Ming: "Hey, it's a silk merchant. I don't know how he knew that there was an emergency at home, but he wanted to lower my price by 30%."

"But I'm really losing too much if I give up 30% of the profit. My old mother is ill and needs a lot of money. I have to take care of my filial piety at home, so I can't go out to do business in the short term..."

As he spoke, Jia Ming's eyes began to turn red: "I am useless. I can't even let my old mother live comfortably in her later years."

When Boss Lan saw this scene, he suddenly remembered a saying: Men don't shed tears easily, only because they haven't reached the point of being sad.

"Twenty-and-a-half percent is really my bottom price, but he..."

Jia Ming was mumbling in pain, and Boss Lan immediately blurted out: "Brother Jia, I'll help you!"

"Ah?" Jia Ming looked up at Boss Lan without reacting, surprised: "What did you say?"

Boss Lan: "I said, I'll take the batch of silk you have."

Jia Ming seemed to react at this time, his joy was beyond words: "Really?"

"Brother Lan, if it's true, I..." Jia Ming paused, made up his mind, and said, "I'll give you a 26% discount."

"No, no, no, you're losing too much. It's better to just stick with the 25% you mentioned before." Boss Lan didn't think he was taking advantage of someone else's misfortune. After all, 25% was the price Jia Ming had in mind.

"Brother Lan has saved me from this difficult time so generously. Naturally, I have to give up the biggest benefit."

Jia Ming said with a grateful look: "If you say 2.6%, then it's 2.6. Brother Lan can help me and let me return home as soon as possible. You are already my great benefactor."

The two men declined the offer for a while, and soon Boss Lan went with Jia Ming to see the samples of the goods, and the matter was settled.

After signing the contract and conducting the payment transaction, I found out that Jia Ming did not have time to apply for a credit card machine.

Boss Lan subconsciously said, "Then go get one. Nowadays, everyone uses a credit card machine. I happen to be qualified to make recommendations, but I haven't recommended anyone this year."

He mentioned what Tao Jiaren had said to him before: "Think about it, time is money. If we have negotiated a deal and swiped the card machine, wouldn't it be much more convenient?"

At this time, Boss Lan was just making a kind recommendation. After all, it was indeed much more convenient for merchants to do business with a card swipe machine, and he found it more useful the more he used it.

Jia Ming's face froze for a moment, and he laughed dryly: "That being said, this card can only be used in Dongzhou now. I guess there is no branch in my home. If I transfer the money in, I won't be able to withdraw it when I get home."

After the check-up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you can be discharged from the hospital if everything is fine.

Happy~~~
On the last day of July, I'm just asking for votes~~~
