Chapter 143 Price Issue
"You're too polite, Manager Hu," Cui Changjia said quickly and sincerely, "We didn't have a good chat the last time we met. My office is upstairs, shall we go up and sit down first?"

"Ok, Ok."

Cui Changjia called Manager Hu to go upstairs together, and said as they walked, "My company just moved here, and the decoration was just completed a few days ago. It's a good opportunity for you to take a look at our actual materials and quality."

"That's even better."

While they were talking, they reached the ninth floor. Cui Changjia pushed the door open and the electric heater began to work slightly.

"It's a little cold in the room. Please take a look first. We'll have some hot tea to warm ourselves up."

Manager Hu looked around and asked casually, "Haven't you moved in yet?"

"Yes, we are all in the factory. We have just finished renovating and haven't had time to install air conditioners yet. Please sit over here. There is an electric heater here. It will be a little warmer."

Cui Changjia made tea as she spoke. She didn't use a teapot. The teapot she used last time was the one she brought from the factory. It was the kind that Aunt Zhang bought at the market for five yuan a cup. It was really not presentable, so she just put the tea leaves into a disposable paper cup to make the tea.

The tea was brought over from Xuchang River last time. It was pretty good. She brought a can of it.

Manager Hu sat down, and Cui Changjia handed him a paper cup, "Manager Hu, please have some tea." Then he placed the brochure and various promotional pictures next to him, "Please take a look at them later."

"Manager Cui, you don't have to be so polite. My name is Hu Jiayi, just call me Xiao Hu."

Cui Changjia sat down and said with a smile, "Okay, then I won't be polite. Manager Hu, I won't hide it from you. I met Manager Guo once again, and his attitude towards me was still not very good. If we make a plan and quote for you, will there be a chance for us to purchase?"

I'm sure no one wants to do useless work.

How could Cui Changjia call "Hu Jiayi" "Xiao Hu"? No matter how old he is, he is still Party A.

Hu Jiayi was very honest this time. "We mentioned the furniture purchase from Hengmao at the meeting yesterday. Manager Guo quoted a price of nearly 300,000 yuan. President Yu was not very happy and asked us to inquire about the prices of several other companies."

Cui Changjia thought to himself that it was the price that caused the leader's dissatisfaction.
She thought about it for a moment and asked, "Manager Hu, does Manager Guo have a strong background in your company? Please don't misunderstand me for gossiping, because I feel that Manager Guo is a very strong person."

If Manager Guo has a strong background and the suppliers he finds lower their prices, Cui Changjia and others will still have no chance.

"I heard that Manager Guo has relatives working in government agencies, but President Yu is a very pragmatic person. He pays more attention to quality and cost-effectiveness. Let's not discuss this," Hu Jiayi looked at Cui Changjia and said, "Manager Cui, you have to give me a realistic price."

No matter how strong the connections of Manager Guo are, Cui Changjia has to implement this plan and quote a price. If he does, there might be a few percent chance of success. If he doesn't make a plan and doesn't quote a price, there might not even be a few percent chance.

Cui Changjia suppressed his chaotic thoughts and said, "I told you before that our price is 460 per square meter. I just went down to calculate. Our office area is about 400 square meters. It is impossible to make all of these 400 square meters into workstations. It would be a lot if we can make square meters. A -square-meter workstation is only yuan, a swivel chair is about yuan, and chairs are only yuan. Without discount, the total is only more than yuan. No matter how you quote this price, it will not be !"

Hu Jiayi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Cui Changjia said, "You can tell me what Mr. Yu wants, and I'll ask the factory to produce a floor plan." Hu Jiayi pointed to the partition Cui Changjia made of tempered glass and said, "I think this one made of glass is very good. It's transparent and not oppressive, and it can make good use of the space."

"These glasses are all thickened tempered glass with good transparency and quality. I can contact the supplier to give you a quote. Don't worry, we have been in cooperation for many years and we will not make random quotes. If you have enough time, I can ask the sales manager to come over and talk to us."

"There's no need to meet for now. Once the plan is out, we can meet to discuss the details."

Cui Changjia nodded and said, "The office upstairs is made of tempered glass. I can take you to have a look. It's pretty good. We also made the office furniture there. Manager Hu, I have been trying to contact you before. I think that for such a large office area like Hengmao, we need to have modern office style furniture. If it is still an old-fashioned office, it will not look good when the leaders come to inspect. Don't you think so?"

Cui Changjia's next words moved Hu Jiayi, "Okay, let's go take a look up there and then we can discuss it."

"it is good."

Cui Changjia took Hu Jiayi to Sun Yadi's office to take a look. Sun Yadi was not there, but her employees knew Cui Changjia and let her in.

Hu Jiayi looked at it carefully and followed Cui Changjia back.

This afternoon, Hu Jiayi and Cui Changjia stayed for more than an hour before leaving. As soon as he left, Cui Changjia called Tong Wei, who was working with glass.

Tong Wei came very quickly.

Cui Changjia is now very comfortable seeing Tong Wei again, "Mr. Tong, thank you for your hard work."

"I didn't come when the glass was installed last time, and it would be a shame if I didn't come this time," Tong Wei didn't know when he dyed his hair, and he looked several years younger. He looked around in Cui Changjia's office, "The glass looks pretty good."

"It's all because of your support."

Tong Wei laughed when he heard Cui Changjia say that. "When do you plan to open the store? I'll come over to celebrate with you then."

"I'm not planning on opening the business. I'll just find a good day in a few days to set off firecrackers."

Cui Changjia never cared about these formalities. Their shopping mall’s opening ceremony was so grand before, but didn’t it end up in a bad way in the end?
Tong Wei said, "When my factory opened, they only set off firecrackers. I think that's good."

Cui Changjia had already told Tong Wei why he came. She then took him to the eighth floor to take a look, helped him measure the size, and finally returned to Cui Changjia's office.

Cui Changjia made tea for him, and pushed the desserts and fruits towards Tong Wei, saying, "Mr. Tong, eat some fruit and drink some water first. Let's not rush to talk about work."

Tong Wei laughed and said, "I heard about it. The incident at Ye Guochu's hardware store in the hardware market was quite a big deal. His store was actually closed for seven days before it opened!"
