Chapter 40 Waiting to collect money
Cui Changjia said, "Boss Niu, the quality of our furniture is definitely beyond reproach. You must know the sales situation better than me. If it weren't for the fact that my family needs money right now, this batch of furniture wouldn't have come to me."

Niu Zhian looked through the detailed list for a while, thought for a while and said, "Wait for my call, I'll think about it."

Cui Changjia nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Niu, I'll wait for your call."

After saying goodbye to Niu Zhian, Cui Changjia and Cui Chengze found a small hotel in Yutang City to stay in.

In order to save money, the brother and sister lived in one room.

It's cold, and the sanitary conditions in small hotels are not good. People don't take off their clothes to sleep. And when they go out, they don't have money, so they don't care about so many things.

Dinner was also simple, with steamed dumplings and egg soup. The restaurant also provided free pickles, which were cheap and went well with rice. The brother and sister only spent six dollars on the meal.

During the meal, Cui Chengze and Cui Changjia said, "Sister, I think you lowered the price too much for Mr. Niu. Ten points and the shipping fee is included. The total loss is 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."

"We can't worry about how much compensation we have to pay now. If Niu Zhian wants it, we'll have to burn incense to thank the gods."

"But the compensation is too much."

Cui Changjia patiently explained to Cui Chengze, "The styles of furniture are updated very quickly. The goods in the warehouse are becoming less and less valuable. If we can sell them now, we may be able to lose less money in the future. We can't just focus on the present when doing business. Although the factory has been rented and is being renovated, it will still require a lot of investment for subsequent production. The more we are reluctant to give up, the later we will probably get the factory's production."

Cui Chengze nodded, sighed slightly, and said expectantly, "That's true. It would be great if Mr. Niu could take all our goods."

Mature people never think “what if this or that?”, but at this moment, Cui Changjia and Cui Chengze have the same expectation, it would be ideal if Niu Zhian could get all the goods!

After returning to the small hotel, Cui Changjia first reported today's situation to Cui Xiuyuan, and then called Jiang Hongying to inquire about Cui Wenquan's situation.

"Your dad insisted on eating by himself. He would spill half a bowl of porridge. At least he was fed an egg custard with two eggs. It's not as simple as feeding Xiaobao when he was a child." Jiang Hongying seemed to be complaining, but there was actually no complaint in her tone.

Cui Wenquan was making a lot of noises nearby, expressing his protest, "Not your mother. Hey!"

Cui Changjia said to Jiang Hongying, "My dad is a strong person. He wants to eat by himself because he wants to take care of himself and not bother you. Mom, please don't say that to my dad in front of him. He will be unhappy."

"Your dad has become a hot commodity as soon as he wakes up." Jiang Hongying pretended to be jealous and said to Cui Wenquan, "Look, you have become a hot commodity as soon as you wake up. You can't say a word."

Cui Wenquan on the opposite side chuckled.

"You guys eat and drink well outside, and come back quickly when you're done. Your dad is really disobedient and insists on getting downstairs to walk. He falls as soon as I let go of him, he falls as soon as I let go of him."

Cui Changjia was very worried. After all, Cui Wenquan had been lying in bed for such a long time. "My dad has been in the ICU for too long and is too weak. Don't rush him to move around. Let him take care of himself first. If my dad feels uncomfortable in the ward, borrow a wheelchair and push him downstairs for a walk."

"Don't you know your father's temper? He is a man of his word. You must take good care of him when you come back." After hanging up the phone, Cui Changjia thought to herself, her father wanted her to get better quickly, but the sequelae had already been left. How could it be so easy to recover?
"It's good that our dad has woken up, A-choo--!" Cui Chengze sneezed loudly as soon as he said this!

The small hotel had no heating, the room was damp and cold, and the quilt was icy to the touch. I was afraid that a bed like this would not be able to warm up all night.

Cui Changjia looked at Cui Chengze's clothes, stood up and said, "Let's go change into an air-conditioned room."

It's the transition season from autumn to winter in the north, and it's getting colder day by day, but Cui Chengze still doesn't have a padded jacket on.

"An air-conditioned room costs twenty yuan more." Cui Chengze said, "It's okay, it can be done in one night."

"If I don't get enough rest at night, I won't have the energy to do anything else during the day. I'm leaving, leaving."

The air-conditioned room can be slightly drier than an ordinary room, but the air conditioner had to be turned on for a while before the room felt warm. Indeed, it was easy to fall asleep quickly in a comfortable room. Not long after Cui Chengze fell on the bed, he began to snore.

If you sleep well, you will be energetic the next day.

Cui Changjia and his friends had just finished breakfast when they received a call from Niu Zhian, asking them to come over for a face-to-face talk.

The weather was not very good, it was cloudy and windy, and the air was damp and cold.

However, no matter how bad the weather was, it couldn't stop Cui Chengze and Cui Changjia from being so excited.

When Cui Changjia and his friends arrived at Niu Zhian's Jiahui Furniture City, they had not yet opened for business and Niu Zhian had not come either. They waited for about half an hour before he finally arrived. He did not go to Niu Zhian's office, but talked on the roadside outside.

Niu Zhian had already picked out everything he wanted, goods worth about 20,000 yuan, and Cui Changjia reduced the price by 8 percentage points, bringing the total price to 23,000 yuan.

Niu Zhian signed the contract with Cui Changjia on the spot and paid a deposit of 3,000 yuan. He planned to pay the remaining money in one lump sum after the goods arrived.

Cui Chengze was so happy that he wanted to go back with Cui Changjia to get the goods immediately. However, Cui Changjia asked him to wait, as there were still a few merchants in Yutang City who had not left. Niu Zhian had already signed the contract and paid the deposit. One day would not be a big deal. In case there were other merchants, wouldn't it be easier to get them all over together?
Cui Changjia and his team will have both joy and sorrow in their next work.

One merchant got the final payment smoothly, one paid half, and one couldn’t find its boss and its business is almost going bankrupt.

The most bizarre one was a store that owed more than 40,000 yuan. The boss's surname was Huang. He said he didn't have that much money, so he asked Cui Changjia and others to stay in the store to collect the money. He would leave when he received enough money.

Anyone who has sold furniture knows that furniture is not a fast-moving consumer product and will not be consumed as quickly as toilet paper or instant noodles. Normally, you will just replace a set of tables or add a few chairs. Only when you buy furniture for a new house or when your child gets married will you buy furniture in large quantities. So when you open a furniture store, some days there will be no business, but once there is business, the business will be huge.

The brother and sister discussed it and Cui Chengze stayed here to collect the money while Cui Changjia continued to run to the next store, which was in Fengcheng County under Yutang City. By the time she came back, it would probably be late, so they didn't delay either side.

It's not realistic to rely on collecting money here every day. What if they are lucky and can collect tens of thousands today?
