Chapter 539 The First Snow
After a discussion, Lu Ye and Su Yunjie quickly reached a consensus.
Be sure to find the manufacturer of this button battery and introduce it.
In order to be able to put this batch of electronic watches on the market as soon as possible.
Lu Ye called Qi Xian again.
"Mr. Qi, I'm sorry, I have something else to trouble you with." Lu Ye said.
"Don't worry about whether it's a trouble or not. Just tell me what's the matter." Qi Xian said with a laugh.
Lu Ye was not polite and stated the problem he was facing on the spot:
"It's about replacing the battery in my electronic watch. I found that the button batteries built into our electronic watches are only sold in a few places in Binjiang, and the prices are quite expensive."
"If that's the case, then once our electronic watches are sold, if they need to have their batteries replaced, it will be a very troublesome and costly process."
"This will inevitably have a serious impact on the sales of electronic watches."
"So, I'd like to ask you, where do you get the same type of button batteries from? If it's convenient, could you tell me the approximate price?"
Lu Ye asked.
In fact, to a certain extent, the questions Lu Ye asked have already involved Qi Xian’s business secrets.
It's somewhat impolite.
However, Lu Ye is Qi Xian's distributor, and Lu Ye does not run a similar electronics factory, so he does not constitute a competitive relationship with Qi Xian.
Besides, the question Lu Ye asked was also a difficult problem that troubled the electronic watch, and it was also related to Qi Xian's interests.
After the incident, Lu Ye asked directly without any psychological burden.
After hearing Lu Ye's question, Qi Xian laughed again:
"Hey... I thought it was just a small matter. What's the inconvenience? Our electronics factory is supplied by the Southwest Battery Factory. I can't quite remember the exact price, but it should be less than 3 yuan per battery."
"This is my fault. I didn't expect you would have such a situation. So, when I ship the next batch to you, I will pack 5000 batteries for you to use as an emergency measure. You can sell them or do whatever you want with them. It's up to you."
"If the demand over there isn't too great, I'll bring some for you with every shipment in the future."
"If your demand is large, I'll give you the contact information of the Southwest Battery Factory and you can talk to them yourself."
"How about it?"
Although Qi Xian's method cannot solve the fundamental problem, it can at least allow Lu Ye to no longer have to worry about replacing the battery of his electronic watch in the next few months or even a year.
"That's great, Mr. Qi, you really come to my rescue in time of need. Thank you." Lu Ye said with a smile.
"Why bother saying thank you or not? Is it too formal here?" Qi Xian continued to laugh.
······
After hanging up the phone, the button battery issue was temporarily resolved.
Lu Ye told Su Yunjie the result of his communication with Qi Xian.
"Mr. Qi is really loyal. With his support, we can sell it with confidence." Su Yunjie smiled.
Lu Ye also smiled: "We can start advertising now. Let's try to sell these ten thousand yuan electronic watches as quickly as possible."
"That's for sure. Tomorrow morning I will go to the newspaper office and radio station to place advertisements." Su Yunjie vowed.
With the arrival of the electronic watch, the atmosphere in the entire sales station became excited again.
Everyone is ready to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
"It's snowing, it's snowing outside!" A surprised voice suddenly came from the corridor.
The feelings of northerners towards snow are something that many southerners cannot understand.
The white and crystal snowflakes represent purity and romance.
"Let's go out and take a look." Lu Ye also became interested and said to Su Yunjie.
The two came to the door of the sales station.
At this moment, several salesmen in the station have run outside, braving the severe cold to appreciate the first snow of the year up close.
"This snow is quite heavy." Su Yunjie also stretched out his hand to catch the falling snowflakes, and said with emotion.
Looking at the snowflakes all over the sky, all Lu Ye could think about was Su Mengyao.
"Yaoyao said she wants to go home today. It's snowing so heavily that it will be difficult for her to take the bus. I'll leave her to you at the station and go to Bin University to pick her up after school." Lu Ye said to Su Yunjie with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey... If you want to go find her, just tell her directly. Why are you making up excuses to me? These are useless."
Su Yunjie said with a pout.
Recently, Su Yunjie could clearly feel that Lu Ye and his sister Su Mengyao were always acting weird.
In the past, Su Mengyao basically lived in the school dormitory most of the time, and only went home on weekends.
But now, Su Mengyao goes home almost every day.
Especially in the past few days, after dinner, Su Mengyao and Lu Ye would go out for a walk and deliberately not take him with them.
As a result, he could only watch TV at home alone, feeling quite isolated.
But these two are always sweet together.
"If you can't eat the grapes, you say they are sour." Lu Ye said with a smile, and then whispered in Su Yunjie's ear:
"It's snowing so heavily today, perfect for romance. Are you sure you don't want to ask Zhou Yan out for a stroll?"
"Would you like me to sponsor you two movie tickets?"
"Or you can take her out for Western food, and I'll reimburse you."
Lu Ye bewitched Su Yunjie.
Zhou Yan is a very strong-willed person. She is devoted to her career and works harder than any other man.
But in her pursuit of Su Yunjie, Zhou Yan always deliberately kept a few centimeters of distance from him.
Su Yunjie was forced to go from the passionate 100-meter sprint at the beginning to the dull marathon-style pursuit now.
Seeing this, Lu Ye felt a little anxious.
I've seen people working hard, but I've never seen anyone working as hard as Su Yunjie and Zhou Yan.
"You said you would reimburse me, you can't go back on your word!" Su Yunjie had a sly smile on his face: "I'll go make an appointment with Zhou Yan now!"
After saying that, Su Yunjie ran back to the station and went to the sales department to look for Zhou Yan.
Lu Ye looked at Su Yunjie who was jumping around and shook his head helplessly.
After locking the office door, Lu Ye went to Bin University and picked up Su Mengyao.
There was no rush to go home.
Lu Ye and Su Mengyao were strolling on the campus of Binhai University, enjoying the rare snow scene under the heavy snow.
Snowflakes were falling madly from the sky.
In just this short hour, the ground was covered with silver, and everything was white.
Lu Ye held Su Mengyao's hand, and every step they took left a footprint on the ground.
"Wait a minute." Lu Ye stopped.
Then he lifted his right foot and stepped diagonally on the clean snow in front of him.
"Come on, use your left foot and put your heel against my heel."
Su Mengyao did as Lu Ye said, tilted her left foot 45 degrees, and placed her heel on Lu Ye's heel, leaving her own footprints on the snow.
