Miss Yu Decides To Change Her Fate After Being Reborn! - Chapter 276
276 Buying Glass
The guard frowned and said, “Young lady, we sell them in large quantities. If you don’t buy enough of them in quantity, I don’t think the factory will sell them.”
Yu Bing scratched her head and looked up at the guard. “I have no other choice. The glass specifications of the supply company outside have been set, but the specifications of our office are special, so we need to come to the factory to customize them.”
The guard had never heard of anyone being so particular about glass, since glass windows only had a few specifications. However, he still pointed the way. “Do you see that red brick bungalow? Go there and ask, but you’re an outsider, so you have to register first.”
After Yu Bing registered according to the rules, she went to the red-brick bungalow. The label at the door said sales department. There were five to six desks in the office inside, but now, there were only two people, a middle-aged woman and a young man. Yu Bing knocked on the open office door. “Hello.”
!!
The man closest to the door looked up and asked Yu Bing, “Hello, do you want to order glass?”
Yu Bing walked forward. “Hello, I want to order glass. I don’t want to order that much in quantity, but I have some specific specifications, so I want to buy a large piece and cut it myself.”
The middle-aged woman’s gaze shifted from the newspaper to Yu Bing. After she sized Yu Bing up and saw that she was dressed in a neat Lenin suit, she asked slowly, “Which enterprise are you from?”
Yu Bing reported her factory and her intention to establish an office. This was an inconvenience unique to this era. When doing business, the other party had to see if they were representing an agency first. If it was an individual’s purchasing needs, these factories would directly reject them.
Although the middle-aged woman didn’t refuse directly, she said in disdain, “The quantity isn’t enough. We produce them according to the quantity of the orders.”
Yu Bing took out two bottles of jam from the factory and placed them on the woman’s desk with a smile as she said, “I know you’re in a difficult position. Every time the glass factory sends out some unqualified glass products, perhaps you can sell them to me at a cheaper price? I’ll pick them from there.”
They could find decent-quality defective goods in the factory, but the goods for the orders the factory received had to be perfect. Therefore, it was useless to keep such defective goods and they could only be sold at a low price. However, they usually found people to collect them in batches.
The middle-aged woman looked down at the jam, then raised her head and called out to the man just now, “Mr. Yang, bring this girl to the warehouse where the defective goods are stored.”
Mr. Yang smiled brightly and replied, “Alright, Sister Lin.”
Then, Mr. Yang brought Yu Bing to the warehouse.
There were quite a lot of defective goods in the warehouse. Yu Bing picked a few large pieces of pure transparent glass that had only a little bit of cracks and made note of the location. She found that the location of the cracks didn’t affect the aesthetics, so she chose four pieces.
After choosing, Yu Bing returned to the sales department to write the bill again. She realized that a bottle of jam had appeared on the man’s desk, but there were only office tools and documents on the woman’s desk.
The woman took out the sales slip from the drawer. “What specification? What quality?”
Mr. Yang noticed the extra jam on his table as soon as he entered, so he immediately replied, “One piece of glass with a thickness of 0.5CM and three pieces with a thickness of 0.3CM and two square meters. There are quite a lot of cracks on the pure transparent glass.”
Yu Bing marveled to herself that gift-giving culture really had a long history. In the end, she bought it at an extremely low price of 12 yuan. In addition, the cost of the two bottles of jam was slightly more than a yuan, which was equivalent to only spending more than 13 yuan. At other places, she would have to spend at least 18 yuan!
After Yu Bing handed the money over, she thanked the two of them with a smile. “Thank you, Sister Lin. It’s been hard on you, Mr. Yang. You even accompanied me there.”
Mr. Yang smiled and waved his hand repeatedly. “It’s what I should do. There’s a driver that pulls carts at the door. Tell them to spread the cloth thicker. I’ll wait for you at the warehouse entrance.”
After Yu Bing paid, she left and saw two drivers in the distance. She chose a driver who had the most cloth strips. Then, she handed the receipt and receipt to the warehouse manager.
After the warehouse manager confirmed that the receipt was correct, he let Yu Bing and the driver in.
Yu Bing called the driver to pull the glass into the cart, while Mr. Yang pulled the warehouse manager to the side to smoke a joint and chat.
