Chapter 4: Buy not only computers, but also services.
After lunch, Fang Li was about to clean up the dishes, and Yang Hui whispered: "Let it go there, I'll wash it. You're just sick, so take a rest."
Fang Li is not pretentious either. Although installing a computer is not a physical job, it will not be too tiring to do it for a day, but fooling others is very mentally consuming. The difficulty in assembling a computer is not how to install the computer, but how to make customers believe in you. Trust is the best way to guide customers to pay for money. Otherwise, there are so many stores in the computer city, why should they install it here?
Lying on the bed, Fang Li fell asleep in a daze. Yang Hui washed the dishes and quietly pushed open the door of her son. She found that her son was sleeping very hard, and even snoring slightly. She couldn't help but sigh and closed the door carefully.
There is usually no business in the computer city at noon. It is hot in summer. The temperature near Wucheng, one of the four major stoves, is naturally not much lower. If it were not necessary, no one would choose to go out during this period.
When Yang Hui came to the computer city, she saw the crowd of people and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious of what her son said.
Faced with her mother's suspicious gaze, Fang Li did not rush to explain, but led her to the store.
Boss Li greeted him warmly, then looked at Yang Hui, Fang Li introduced: "This is my mother, mom, this is Boss Li."
Yang Hui quickly said politely: "Boss Li, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
Who knew that Boss Li was more polite than her, and said repeatedly: "Sister, you are so disgusting now, right? Your son is so capable. I heard that he was admitted to Central China Normal University. I am lucky. You can wait to enjoy your happiness in the future."
As they were talking, a father and son came in from the entrance of the computer city with sweat on their heads. For a moment, the sleepy computer city owners immediately came back to life and greeted them enthusiastically.
What puzzled Yang Hui was that Boss Li seemed indifferent and didn't even raise his eyelids.
"Uncle is giving my son a computer to go to college? Our store and Intel are doing activities. Students have a 30% discount. Why don't you come in and take a look?"
Perhaps Fang Li's young face was more deceptive, or the discounts were more attractive, the father and son finally walked into the shop where Fang Li was. Suddenly, the shop owners around him sighed. Judging from the situation in the morning, the father and son could not escape Fang Li's clutches.
"Come on, uncle and classmate, drink a little water first and blow on the air conditioner. It's hot." Fang Li politely poured the water and lowered the temperature of the air conditioner several degrees.
"Thank you." The father and son wiped their sweat, blew the air conditioner, and drank a sip of ice water from the water dispenser, and they felt like they were coming back to life.
"This is not because my son got into the first batch of books and was clamoring to buy a computer, saying that it was a need for study, and I don't know if it was a real need or just to play games." The middle-aged father complained.
Fang Li laughed in his heart. Isn’t this computer a productive thing just before buying and playing games after buying, but he said, “Uncle, in fact, in addition to learning and games, computers have many other functions, such as PS artists and various office software. Now slightly better companies are computerized. Your son’s contact with computers now will also be beneficial for future graduation and finding a job.”
"Well, that's right, then you can recommend a set for us. By the way, the discount I mentioned before was not a scam, right?"
"How can I do it? I will first make a configuration list for you. If you feel satisfied, I will install the machine for you."
Yang Hui looked at Fang Li's serious greetings to the guests, and a sense of pride arose.
"You see, this configuration is like this. CUP is the Core 2 dual-core E7200, which is also the latest CPU released by Intel this year..." Fang Li said that all the hardware was either the latest release or the military quality. The father and son were stunned and nodded.
"The original price of this set is 7,600, and after deducting the discount given by the manufacturer, it is 5,320. I will give you another mouse and keyboard set. What do you think?" Fang Li asked.
The son was a little moved, but the middle-aged father shook his head and said, "Little brother, you are too expensive. I brought 5,000 yuan in my pocket. If you think you can, we will install the machine immediately. If it doesn't work, we will take a look."
Fang Li looked embarrassed: "Uncle, our profit is really not that big. We have already given you a 30% discount."
The middle-aged father turned around and was about to leave. Fang Li gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, 5,000 is 5,000, I'll open a ticket in the afternoon."
"Is there a keyboard and mouse set?"
"Okay, I will give you my money to lose money." Fang Li said gritting his teeth.
Half an hour later, the middle-aged father and son left with a computer in his arms. While leaving, the father proudly said to his son: "See it. This is called a bargaining price. I save more than 300 yuan at a time. I have two days' salary."
My son looked at his father admiringly, and felt a little sorry for the clerk who just now. His face looked so ugly. I guess he had lost a lot of money, right?
Yang Hui looked at her son worriedly and looked at the backs of the father and son hatefully. Who was so treacherous? They were all given a 30% discount and had to bargain, and the bargaining price was more than 300 yuan. How could her son explain to the boss?
However, what she didn't expect was that Boss Li, who had originally lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, immediately stood up after the father and son left, rubbed his hands and walked to his son.
My son also counted 46 pieces from the stack of money he just received. Yes, it was 46 pieces. Yang Hui counted it with him, so it would be fine. Moreover, the money was put into the banknote detector and checked by Boss Li, and then it was stuffed into a black briefcase with a smile. Obviously, this operation is not the first time, and the cooperation is very tacit.
"This..." Yang Hui was a little confused.
Fang Li took the remaining 400 yuan into Yang Hui and explained: "Mom, this configuration is usually sold for about 5,000 yuan. When I quoted, I had already included the discount. I added the 320 yuan specifically, just to leave him room for bargaining."
Yang Hui looked at the money in her hand and said worriedly: "Then, what if he finds out and comes to see you?"
Fang Li smiled and said, "No, no matter which computer store he bought this configuration, he would have to pay this price. It also costs so much money. For me, he bought not only computers, but also services."
"Serve?"
"Yes, I satisfy his hobby of bargaining and made him show his wisdom as a father in front of his son. How much does this 5,000 yuan cost him?" Fang Li blinked cunningly.
Yang Hui knew that what her son said was completely fallacy, but she could not find a refutation argument for a while. Instead, she felt that what he said seemed to make sense.
"Mom, take it. My dad needs money. Don't worry, if I have me at home in the future, everything will be fine." Fang Li signaled his mother to put the money away.
Yang Hui's eyes were a little red. She touched her son's cheeks that were a little white due to illness, which was both heartache and relief.
