Chapter 1824: Identical Promotional Offers
The rain in Yun City, accompanying Aunt Zhang Hong's return with a full load, showed no signs of stopping.
Meanwhile, in the distant Shi City, a wealthy second-generation heir who didn't want to start a business found an intermediary, muddled through to set up a makeshift team, bought a small company with the proper qualifications, and recruited four teams of drivers.
After a few simple days of training, he finally waited for the two large-scale combine cotton harvesters he had purchased by painstakingly camping out in the livestream room and using a 50-yuan coupon.
This was the wealthy heir's first time starting a business, and he had jumped straight into the real economy. He felt a bit insecure inside, so when the machines were about to arrive, he, as the boss, waited on the sidelines.
It was all because their Shi City was too small and too remote; locally, only the provincial capital had places selling these large-brand agricultural machines. You couldn't find them in the city at all.
Because of this, his chosen track seemed a bit niche. If not for the high salary, he wouldn't have been able to find drivers.
The wealthy heir felt a bit nervous, but he had to maintain the demeanor of a boss, so he sat there pretending to scroll through his phone while his heart was actually drumming.
The drivers were used to working for anyone, so they were more composed. At this moment, they just asked curiously:
"Boss, how did you dare to buy such large machines online? Was there some kind of special promotional event?"
The wealthy heir kept a serious face: "Yes, there was a discount opportunity. I waited a long time for it, and it could only be used once."
That must have been a huge opportunity! Maybe the machines were 20% off?
The drivers huddled together, chattering.
They were used to this line of work and knew how expensive these large agricultural machines were—they easily cost several million. Never mind 20% off; even 0.1% off would save several tens of thousands.
A young driver with ambition sighed: "Sigh, we just don't have the capital. Otherwise, it would be such a pity to miss out on this kind of discount."
When ordinary people buy agricultural machinery, they mostly rely on national subsidies for interest-free installments. Saving tens of thousands on the total price is equivalent to saving a whole year of hard work for nothing.
How great that would be!
Everyone thought sourly: No wonder rich people find it so easy to make money. Even if they waited for this kind of discount, they wouldn't have the money to buy it.
However...
Among the drivers was a silent, middle-aged man. Thinking of his future plans and the savings he had painstakingly accumulated over many years, he looked at the boss again—
What exactly was the discount?
Could he manage to pay a down payment?
Working for others is never as profitable as working for oneself. Their Shi City was close to the border; once the machines were in place and they were familiar with them for two days, they could catch up with the early cotton harvest season in the border region.
When the time came to hit the gas, the money would come pouring in.
And in this anticipation, on the road in the distance, two large red hydraulic flatbed trucks, each 16 meters long, were slowly moving forward, carrying the heavy-duty combine cotton harvesters.
They're here!
Everyone became excited. A glance at the sheer size from afar told them that the efficiency of these cotton harvesters was exceptionally high!
The people recruited were all experienced hands. The pay wasn't by the day, but by the mu; the main operator could get 12 yuan per mu.
And how long does it take for this kind of large cotton harvester to harvest one mu?
Two or three minutes.
At this efficiency, what they were harvesting wasn't just cotton; it was clearly cold, hard cash.
If these cotton harvesters were their own, now, in the early season when prices weren't high, renting a cotton harvester would still cost one or two hundred yuan per mu.
Later, when the best harvest season arrived, the price could potentially soar to over 200.
Once this calculation was made, the drivers' hearts also grew hot. Seeing two masters in engineering uniforms also getting off the truck, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts:
Sure enough, you still shouldn't skimp on money in this regard. Big brands are more reliable; the after-sales and service are truly excellent, and they even brought specialized masters for machine delivery.
And the provincial capital sales team, having received this order transferred online by the group headquarters, also stepped out of the vehicle at this moment.
Before they had even identified who the boss was, the sound of praise rang out first:
"Oh my, Boss! You really have courage! Buying such large agricultural machinery online without hesitation—you've brought our group such a huge shock!"
"To tell you the truth, this is our first time receiving such a large order!"
The salesperson said this while quickly locking onto the buyer and then warmly stepping forward.
Their mouth, however, didn't stop for a second:
"To thank you for your trust in our brand, our group's CEO specifically instructed us to arrange the following maintenance and repair gift package for your cotton harvesters... matching parts..."
A long, messy list followed. Just looking at the paper contract, which had already been flipped over several pages, made the drivers who wanted to be bosses green with envy!
What exactly was the promotion?
How come these rich people get all the cheap deals, and even the free gifts are so substantial?
After all, as everyone knows, for this kind of large agricultural machinery, it's one thing that the machine is expensive, but the subsequent maintenance and repairs are equally not to be underestimated!
Yet now, the value of the free gifts alone was too much to count.
And at this moment, the wealthy heir couldn't care less about all that.
Although he didn't know much about agricultural machinery, Qiao Qiao had spoken very meticulously during the livestream, and he had done some homework when he entrusted the intermediary to buy this small company.
Seeing such sincere gifts, he couldn't help but feel happy.
After all, he just had a lot of money, he wasn't stupid.
Buying the machines was an impulsive act, but with the group's after-sales service being so good, his impulse had turned into 120% satisfaction, along with a faint appreciation for his own decisiveness.
He smiled and sighed: "I also feel that Teacher Qiao Qiao is trustworthy. Look, he livestreamed, and I bought right here!"
"Your group's service is truly excellent. We are moving toward each other, hahaha!"
The drivers, who were pricking up their ears to hear the details, were bewildered.
Livestream?
Was it that "3-2-1, link up!" livestream shopping they knew?
No way, can online sales easily sell such multi-million-yuan agricultural machines these days?
The young and middle-aged men gathered together, looking at each other, suddenly feeling a sense of sighing that they couldn't keep up with the times.
And the driver with grand ideals hesitated for a long time before finally edging over. When the salesperson had finished chatting with the boss and the other party was following the engineering masters to inspect the machines, he quickly seized the opportunity:
"Hello, what exactly is the promotion for this cotton harvester? How come it feels so discounted?"
He paused and asked again: "Does this Teacher Qiao Qiao's livestream sell other small agricultural machines? Can the same discount be enjoyed?"
Exactly how much off was it? Tell him so he could see if he could stretch to reach it!
Salesperson:...
With business at the door, they were naturally happy, but the person was asking for the exact same discount.
Ah, this, this...
They stammered and fidgeted, making the driver even more excited and urgent:
"Hey, if there's business at the door, just say it. I can't afford such a big one, but it's not impossible for me to get a small one, right? Tell me first, what exactly is the promotion?"
The salesperson kept a wooden face, stammering:
"That, the livestream room has an exclusive coupon: 50 off for every 7 million."
