"Xiao Qi, do you mean to lend me this money?" Duan Mingye asked in disbelief.

Borrow? How can I really borrow?

Zhou Qi nodded slightly and said slowly: "The money my old man gave me was originally for me to start a business. To be honest, I also have a strong desire in my heart to do something to show him. But after listening to what you said last night, I know that you are facing many difficulties. I feel really bad if I don't help you..."

"You know what? I didn't sleep all night last night. I kept thinking, your product is so good, why can't it be popular in the market..."

"I have confidence in you and in our products..."

"So, I just came here today."

Jiang Jun glanced at Zhou Qi and thought: Didn't you sleep all night? Last night you snored loudly as soon as you lay down. You are really bragging.

However, these words made Duan Mingye feel warm. The headquarters kept delaying the advertising, and the funds were not in place, but this old classmate, just because of a drink last night, knew his predicament and came with money without saying a word.

What is a true brother? It is not someone who stays by your side when you are doing well, but someone who stands by you when you are in trouble.

"Xiao Qi, I'm really grateful that you extended a helping hand to me when I was in trouble, but I really can't accept this money..." Duan Mingye said sincerely.

"Why?" Zhou Qi stared at Duan Mingye, his tone full of dissatisfaction, "Are you looking down on me?"

"How could that be possible? How could I look down on you..." Duan Mingye hurriedly explained, "First of all, this factory is not my personal property. If I take your money, it would be like a personal loan. The result of investing this money is unpredictable. I can't let you take this risk."

Snapped!

Without waiting for Duan Mingye to finish speaking, Zhou Qi slammed the table, scaring Duan Mingye.

Zhou Qi's eyes were piercing, and he said with a bit of anger, "This is not the you I know. Where is your courage? Where is your confidence? Where is the high-spirited Duan Mingye back then?"

"No..." Duan Mingye hesitated to speak.

But Zhou Qi interrupted him before he finished speaking, and said with a smile: "I understand, you think you are just an employee, there is no need to take any risks, you are just using this place to realize your dreams, as for how much you can achieve, whether you succeed or not, it doesn't matter, right...

Duan Mingye, when did you become so irresponsible? They say that time wears down people. Okay, maybe I misjudged you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Duan Mingye was a little annoyed.

"What? Did I say something wrong? Why are you starting a business if you don't have confidence in your own products?" Zhou Qi asked back.

"Of course I have confidence, but do you know how difficult it is to enter the market with new products?" Duan Mingye explained, "The factory needs to make a profit quickly. How long can a factory that doesn't make money last? I can sit here today, but what about tomorrow? Who can say for sure?

If I accept your 300,000 today, and I am no longer the factory manager tomorrow, what can I use to pay you back? We won't even be friends by then, do you understand?"

Zhou Qi smiled secretly in his heart, this was exactly the answer he wanted. On the surface, he pretended to be sad and said, "Okay, let's change our thinking. If I buy from you, how much can you give me at cost price?"

Buying goods? Duan Mingye glanced at the money on the table and shook his head: "Xiao Qi, if it were someone else, I would definitely give a price without saying anything, but we are old friends, I have to be honest, the market response to our factory's products is average now, even if you get the goods, it will not be easy to sell them."

"When a new product is launched, there are both opportunities and risks." Zhou Qi sat up straight. "Just like what we talked about yesterday, the game market will be a blank period in the next ten years. It is a vent. If you want to take off, you must have the courage to break the wind."

"I came here because I believe you can succeed..." Zhou Qi said sincerely, "I have full confidence in you and am willing to share the ups and downs with you. If you value me as a brother, don't refuse."

Duan Mingye looked at Zhou Qi steadily. No one could remain indifferent in the face of such trust.

"Xiao Qi, I can give you some of our products to test the waters first. You can investigate the market there before making a decision." Duan Mingye suggested.

"No need!" Zhou Qi said firmly, "I believe in you and what you produce. Tell me how much the purchase cost is. We are brothers, but business is business, so there is no need to worry so much."

This statement sounded reasonable on both sides. Duan Mingye thought for a while and said, "The retail price of the game consoles we produce is 120 yuan..." He didn't say anything else. This price was already expensive in an era when the average monthly salary was to yuan, implying that market promotion would not be easy.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Qi's expression did not fluctuate at all.

"If you purchase in bulk, the minimum order is 80 units, and the price is 5 yuan per unit. For every additional 50 units, the price will drop by yuan, down to yuan." Duan Mingye gave a plan.

Jiang Jun's expression changed slightly when he heard the price. The purchase price was not cheap, but the profit margin was indeed attractive. He could make 70 yuan per unit, which was almost half a month's salary for many people.

No wonder...

Duan Mingye spoke frankly, saying that this market is not easy to crack. Such an expensive game console is not a must for everyone like buying rice. Who would be willing to pay for it?

"Can this price be more affordable?" Zhou Qi asked.

Duan Mingye shook his head slightly and said, "Xiao Qi, we are brothers, we don't play tricks. In fact, I told you all this, but I didn't expect you to join this industry. Your 300,000 yuan can only buy 6,000 units at most, you..."

Before Duan Mingye finished speaking, Zhou Qi interrupted: "With 30 million, can I get the national general agent?"

What? Thirty million? Duan Mingye was stunned.

"Xiao Qi, are you kidding me?" Duan Mingye questioned.

"Do you think I'm kidding?" Zhou Qi responded seriously, "If I invest 30 million, can the purchase price be lower? Also, can you keep the position of national general agent for me?"

Jiang Jun watched Zhou Qi from the side, knowing that he treated 300,000 as 10 million last time, and this time it was even more exaggerated, directly multiplied by 100 times! With 300,000 in his pocket, he dared to talk about a business of 30 million, and he looked serious. This psychological quality is really enviable.

Duan Mingye was thinking in his mind. Seeing Zhou Qi's serious expression, he felt that he was not joking. The 300,000 yuan in cash on the table was proof that Zhou Qi wanted to lend him this money unconditionally...

After thinking for a while, Duan Mingye said, "The purchase price can be reduced to 40 yuan, but the company does not allow me to become the national general agent, so I can't give in."

Zhou Qi knew that it was just a beautiful fantasy.

Being the national general agent means that the entire Xiaobawang has to revolve around him, which is unrealistic.

"Forget about being the national general agent, but can the price be more favorable?" Zhou Qi was not giving up.

Duan Mingye shook his head again: "This price is already my bottom line based on the 30 million order. It may not even be approved by the company."
