Chapter 3412: Chapter 3404: Last Lesson
The response from the other side left everyone present at a loss.
They stood there, not knowing what to do.
"Is Two Yuan Seventy the best we can get? Can’t the price go a bit higher?"
"It really can’t, we’re old classmates, can I cheat you? The normal price is Two Yuan Sixty, I’ve already fought for an extra dime for you, but it’s impossible to make it Three Yuan Twenty for me."
"I, I understand."
"I’ll hang up now, think it over, and call me when you’ve made up your mind."
"Okay."
Sun Jia hung up the phone, looking dejected, like a lost soul.
She thought this was her last card, but didn’t expect it to push her into an abyss instead.
"Little Sun, we’re all counting on you, now that the goods can’t be sold, you’ve got to think of something."
"Everyone, please don’t worry, I’m trying to think of a way."
"Listen to you, how can we not worry, if we can’t sell them, the oranges will rot in the field."
"It’s all your fault, raising the price on a whim, otherwise the contract would have been signed by now."
"Great, now the people have left, and there’s no chance to talk anymore."
"At this rate this year, being able to sell at Three Yuan Twenty is already quite good, we wasted an opportunity for nothing."
Facing the crowd’s rebuke, Sun Jia felt a surge of injustice.
She had good intentions and never expected such a situation to occur.
Why are all these people blaming her!
"Alright, everyone quiet down." Zhang Jiachun looked at the others and said:
"Weren’t you all shouting not to sell at that time, so why now all blame falls on Little Sun."
"Wasn’t it she who started it all?"
"Can’t you think for yourselves, now blaming others, what were you doing earlier!"
Chided by Zhang Jiachun, these big orange farmers fell silent.
"Director Zhang, let’s not talk about this now, can you think of a way to bring those people back, sell at Three Yuan Twenty, we can’t let those oranges rot in the field."
"Stop dreaming, even if you go looking for them again, they might not buy at that price."
"Still, we have to try."
"The person is selling cars at the square, you should be able to find him there."
"What are we waiting for? Let’s go over now."
"Gather at the basketball court next to the square, and we’ll go together, no one acts alone."
"Got it."
Some villagers came by car, so the group carpooled together.
Those without cars took a cab, heading to the square one after another.
Since it wasn’t far, they arrived in a little over ten minutes.
Upon arrival, everyone looked a bit nervous.
Having just failed negotiations, they didn’t know how to face Lin Yi now.
"Director Zhang, I still don’t understand how he could offer a price that high."
"Maybe he’s really here for poverty relief." Zhang Jiachun said:
"There are still a lot of good people in this world."
"But he’s just a car salesperson, how’s he involved in this."
"Who do you expect me to ask? The point is he can buy oranges, and that’s better than nothing." Zhang Jiachun said:
"A lot of you have considered buying a car, he’s selling cars, maybe take a look and show some support, might make negotiations easier."
"Alright, alright, we’ll see how it goes."
With Zhang Jiachun leading the way, the group arrived at the square.
Seeing an array of cars, many were looking around.
Indeed, a lot had thoughts of buying a car.
Provided they could sell off the stockpile of oranges.
After getting to the square, Zhang Jiachun soon saw a stage with four rings and quickly headed over.
Normally, Lin Yi wouldn’t hang around there.
But failing to negotiate the sale could affect the overall numbers, so he had to stay and figure things out.
And this morning, two more cars were sold, totaling eight sales.
With some luck, he might sell two more by nightfall.
But compared to the target of twenty, there was still a long way to go.
"You’re not mixing yourself with the orange sales?" Ning Che asked teasingly.
"It’s already like this, how to mix in?" Lin Yi said:
"They can do whatever they want, it doesn’t concern me anyway."
"I told you before not to get involved in this, even if you managed to help them sell, they wouldn’t be grateful at all."
Lin Yi felt like he had no one to share his frustrations with.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t involve himself in such things, but with system tasks, he naturally had to think of ways.
"Actually, I think the problem lies with that college girl, if not for her, none of this would’ve happened."
"Clearly just graduated, hasn’t been burned by society yet." Ning Che said:
"Anyone with a bit of life experience wouldn’t say such things."
"Then let her handle it herself, it’s got nothing to do with me anymore."
"If you really want to boost sales, I can call in some people to buy a few to stimulate sales for you."
"If I sell to you, it loses meaning."
"But given the current situation, even by the end of the event, we might not sell many."
"Doesn’t matter, do my best and leave the rest to fate."
"The price you gave is already not low, they are just being unreasonable." Ning Che said:
"That Little Sun girl obviously is inexperienced, that’s why she said those things. With my experience, she’s bound to mess it up, she’ll surely turn to you again afterward."
"Let her." Lin Yi shrugged and said indifferently:
"Miss the opportunity now, it won’t come back, everyone’s an adult, they need to learn to be accountable for their actions."
"Though we’re from the Central Guards Brigade, we’re also businessmen, everything is negotiable."
"Negotiate what?"
"Depends on the situation." Ning Che said with a smile.
"You’re getting good at being cryptic."
"Speak of the devil, see over there, that’s Zhang Jiachun coming with a big group."
Following Ning Che’s gaze, Lin Yi indeed saw Zhang Jiachun and Sun Jia approaching with a group of people.
"Looks like something went wrong on their end, or else they wouldn’t come looking for you."
"Let’s see what happens."
Zhang Jiachun quickened his pace and reached Lin Yi, his face full of apology.
"Mr. Lin Yi, there was a bit of an incident earlier, don’t take it to heart, let’s discuss it at the price, can we sign the contract?"
"Weren’t they dissatisfied with the price? How to sign?"
"No, no, we’re quite satisfied with the price, Little Sun is new and impulsive, please don’t take it to heart."
"I didn’t take her seriously at all."
Lin Yi said calmly:
"But since the negotiation fell through earlier, there’s no way to discuss it now, you’ll have to figure it out on your own."
"We’ve come to you now, what more do you want?" Sun Jia said with a grim expression.
"Coming to me means I have to agree? Do I owe you, or am I indebted to you? All those years of study and you’re still this foolish? Useless!"
