Chapter 2173: Chapter 1851: The Exact Same Promotion
The rain in Yun City continues unabated as Aunt Zhang Hong returns with a full load.
Meanwhile, in distant Shi City, a wealthy heir uninterested in entrepreneurship hired an agent, haphazardly cobbled together a small qualified company, and similarly recruited four groups of drivers.
After a few days of simple training, he also awaited the arrival of two large combined cotton harvesting machines, purchased with a 50-yuan discount coupon and diligently monitored from a live stream.
This was the wealthy heir’s first venture into entrepreneurship, diving straight into industrial operations, and he felt a bit uncertain, so when the machinery was about to arrive, he too was waiting on the side, as the boss.
It’s because Shi City is too small, too remote, and the large-brand agricultural machinery only sold in the provincial capital can’t be found in the city itself.
As a result, his track appears somewhat niche; if it weren’t for the high salaries, the drivers wouldn’t be available.
The wealthy heir felt a bit uneasy but had to maintain his boss façade, sitting there pretending to scroll on his phone, while feeling nervously apprehensive inside.
The drivers, indifferent to whom they worked for, appeared more composed. At this moment, they curiously asked:
"Boss, how do you dare to buy such large machinery online? Is there a special promotional discount?"
The heir, with a serious expression, said, "Yes, there’s a special opportunity I waited a long time for, and it can only be used once."
That must be quite an opportunity! Maybe this machine can be bought at an 80% discount?
The drivers gather together, chatting incessantly.
They are accustomed to this industry and know how expensive large farm machinery can be, often costing many millions. Forget about an 80% discount, even a 99% discount can save tens of thousands.
A young, ambitious driver sighed: "Sigh, we just don’t have the capital, or else missing such a discount is really a pity."
Normally, when ordinary people buy farm machinery, they rely mostly on interest-free instalments with state subsidies, saving several thousand on the total price cut, equivalent to saving a year’s work in vain.
How great!
Everyone thought sourly: No wonder it’s so easy for wealthy people to earn money; they can afford these discounts, even when they come, they can’t afford it.
But...
Among the drivers was a silent middle-aged man, contemplating his future and the family savings accumulated over many years, looking at the boss again—
What exactly was the discount?
Could he manage to pay a down payment?
Working for someone else just doesn’t compare to making money for oneself. Shi City is close to the Borderlands; once the machines are in place here, a few days’ familarization can catch up with the early cotton harvest there.
Once the throttle is turned, the money will come in torrents.
In this anticipation, on the distant road, two massive 16-meter-long red hydraulic flatbed trucks were carrying heavy combined cotton harvesting machines, slowly moving forward.
They’re here!
Everyone got excited. From afar, they could tell by the size that the cotton harvesting machines are exceptionally efficient!
Those recruited are skilled hands, and the charge is not by the day but per acre, with each acre fetching 12 yuan from the landlord driving.
And how long does it take for such large cotton harvesting machines to harvest one acre?
Two or three minutes.
At this rate, what’s harvested isn’t just cotton; it’s outright money!
If these cotton harvesting machines were theirs, the early price wouldn’t be expensive. Renting a cotton harvester per acre could cost one or two hundred yuan.
Later on, catching the best harvesting season might see prices soar to over 200.
Calculating like this, the driver’s hearts were aflame, as they watched two engineers in uniform get off the trucks, and everyone couldn’t help but admire internally:
Indeed, one can’t skimp on such matters; big brands indeed offer some assurance. After-sales and services are done exceptionally well, even transporting machines with dedicated engineers.
Meanwhile, the provincial capital’s street sales, turned into orders by the group headquarters’ network, were also getting off the truck at this point.
They haven’t figured out who the boss is yet, but compliments are already echoing:
"Ah, boss! You certainly are bold! Buying such large agricultural machinery online without hesitation, indeed gave our group a huge shock!"
"Truth be told, such a big order is a first for us too!"
The salesman spoke rapidly while quickly identifying the purchaser, then enthusiastically approached.
Yet not stopping in his words at all:
"To thank you for trusting our brand, our group CEO specifically instructed us to arrange the following maintenance gift package for your cotton harvesting machine... support parts..."
It was a long string, seeing that the paper contract flipped over several pages; it made the drivers who wanted to be bosses’ eyes enviously redden!
What exactly is the promotion?
How come all the bargains went to these wealthy people, and even the gifts are so substantial?
After all, as everyone knows, with such large farm machinery, the machines are expensive, but subsequent maintenance also cannot be underestimated!
But now, even the value of the gifts can’t be calculated.
Yet the wealthy heir doesn’t care so much at this moment.
He might not be very knowledgeable about farm machinery, but when Qiaoqiao live streamed, he explained thoroughly, and when he hired an agent to buy this small company, he did some homework.
Seeing such sincere gifts now, he couldn’t help but be delighted.
After all, he has a lot of money, not foolish.
Buying the machine was a moment of impulsiveness, but with such good after-sales service from the group, his impulsiveness turned into one hundred and twenty percent satisfaction, with a faint appreciation for his decisiveness.
He smiled and commented: "I also felt Teacher Qiaoqiao is trustworthy. See, he streamed, and I bought!"
"Your group’s service is really well done, we are mutual companions in pursuit, hahaha!"
Drivers perked up their ears listening intently felt bewildered.
Live stream?
Is it the "321, go to the link!" live streaming sales they know?
No, can online sales easily bring such multimillion-yuan farm machinery to sell these days?
Young men gathered together, glanced at each other momentarily, despondently feeling out of touch with times.
Yet the ambitious driver hesitated for long, eventually went over. After the salesperson and boss spoke for a while, and the latter followed engineers for machine inspection, quickly seized the opportunity:
"Hello, what exactly is the promotion about this cotton harvesting machine? Why does it seem so discounted?"
Pausing, he continued asking, "Does Teacher Qiaoqiao’s live broadcast sell other small farm machinery? Can the same discount be available?"
What kind of discount is it actually? Say so, so he can grasp if he can foot the bill!
Salesperson:...
Having business at the door, he naturally rejoiced but what was asked is the exact same discount.
Uh, this, this...
He stammered, shyly squirming, making the driver even more excited and urgent:
"Hey, business comes to you, just say, I can’t afford such a big one, but the small one, isn’t it possible? Tell me first, what’s the promotion about?"
The salesperson froze, hesitating:
"Well, the live stream sales have exclusive coupons, a 7 million yuan purchase reduced by 50."
