With the advance payment, materials came in quickly. The two CNC machine tools sent by Veronica Veronica also played a huge role. Edgar Austin and the employees of Thunder Horse Studio worked overtime. The order that was originally planned to take twenty days to complete was completed in half a month.
In the past half month, Edgar Austin's lip reading ability has reached a high level. Coupled with the ability of his left eye, he can now interpret ordinary daily expressions very quickly. This seemed to be his biggest gain in the past half month, and the profits from this business came second.
Edgar Austin the order was completed, Xia Lei called Daleyza. Daleyza quickly brought someone over to pick up the goods and also paid the balance.
"Yes, the quality is stable and the speed is fast."Daleyza smiled happily, "Our cooperation has just begun, and we will definitely make more money in the future."
Edgar Austin smiled disapprovingly. In this business, Daleyza took away 8% of the profit without doing almost anything. He had been working hard for half a month. Excluding the expenses of materials and labor, he only earned 50% of the profit. It looks like ten thousand yuan. What's more, Daleyza is the sole agent in this business. She must have hidden income, and she may earn more than him.
This was unfair and made him realize the importance of connections and information in the business world. If he wants to make his career bigger and stronger, he must build his own circle of contacts and information network.
"You've made money, how about buying me a drink?"Daleyza looked at Edgar Austin with a smile, looking like a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.
Edgar Austin said, "Why don't you stay here to eat? I'll ask Sister Chen to cook her best pork stewed vermicelli."
"Then forget it."Daleyza refused immediately.
At this time, Daleyza's cell phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and walked out of Lei Ma Studio. She didn't stop to answer the phone until she felt Edgar Austin couldn't hear her.
Edgar Austin leaned against the door frame and looked quietly at Daleyza who answered the phone. He couldn't hear Daleyza's voice, but he could see Daleyza's lips, and he was interpreting Daleyza's words in real time in his heart.
"Hello, Sister Liu. Oops, I haven't contacted you for so long. I almost miss me. Haha... That's it. Our company is currently negotiating a wind power project with Vientiane Group. It is a project worth one billion. , now everyone in the company is busy with this matter, and there is no way we can take your order anymore... How about this? I know a friend who can take your order... No problem, you don’t have to worry about the quality. , I just helped Beechcraft Motor Company to take goods away from him, and I can guarantee you that the things he made are better than those made by the engineers in our company... Hmm, okay..."
Daleyza smiled happily, and she didn't realize that Edgar Austin, who was about ten meters away from him, was looking at her intently. In fact, Edgar Austin was not only capturing the changes in her lips and mouth shape and interpreting her lip language, he also saw the phone number on the phone screen. A smile appeared on Edgar Austin's face, and he looked very happy.
Daleyza was still on the phone with "Sister Liu", "You told us before that Dongfang Heavy Industries would customize a set for 320 yuan, so let me give you a preferential price, 310 yuan will be enough... Of course, I will ask my friend to process a sample for you to see and ensure you are satisfied, but you have to send me a copy of the information... Well, just email..."
After ending the call, Daleyza waited until the email was transmitted before walking towards Edgar Austin.
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "Daleyza, it was your husband who called you, right? He's checking your status."
Daleyza chuckled and said: "I can take off duty at any time, but you don't dare to come to work. Is it interesting for you to make such a joke with me?"
Edgar Austin said: "The goods have been handed over to you. If I treat you to dinner and you won't show appreciation, then let's leave it at that. Let's talk next time."
"No, no."Daleyza followed, "I don't know if you are lucky or I am lucky, but another business has come to my door."
Edgar Austin pretended to be surprised, "Uh, what kind of business is it?"
"This time the customer wants a kit."Daleyza handed the phone to Edgar Austin, but instead of handing it to Edgar Austin, she stayed close to him and looked at the pictures and information on the phone with him.
Edgar Austin took a look and had a rough idea. The kit requested by the other party has high requirements on materials and precision, but it is not the kind that is difficult to process.
"Are you sure?"Daleyza asked.
Edgar Austin nodded, "It can be done, it's not complicated."
Daleyza smiled and said: "As long as you can do it, let me tell you, this is a big order. I have just negotiated the price with the customer, and I tried my best to get a good price."
"How much?"Edgar Austin asked.
"Two hundred and sixty."Daleyza said a price, and then said excitedly: "Edgar, you can process a set of samples yourself and I will show them to the customer. The other party will definitely be satisfied. Let's win this This order is no problem at all.”
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "Okay, you can come and get it tomorrow afternoon."
Daleyza said: "Okay, I will transfer the information to your computer now."
Seeing Daleyza walking to his desk to operate the computer, a sneer appeared on Edgar Austin's lips, "Damn, I gave you three hundred and one, but you hid it for fifty, I will give you 100% later." Eighty-eight percent of the commission, you eat the east and the west, your appetite is too big, right?"Daleyza quickly completed the operation, and returned to Edgar Austin, "It's done, I'll save the information on the desktop Come on, take another look, and then hurry up and process a set of samples."
Edgar Austin said: "Don't worry, aren't you still worried about what I'm doing?"
"You are down-to-earth, that's what I like about you. See you tomorrow."Daleyza patted Edgar Austin's waist, then swayed her hips and walked towards her Volkswagen CC. Then, she drove the light truck pulling the goods into the driveway and left quickly.
Kaiden Barlow came up and said, "Edgar, this girl is quite sexy, but her nails are too long. She takes an 8% commission every time. We don't have much money to make."
Edgar Austin said: "She won't be able to catch it for long."
Kaiden Barlow smiled and said: "I think she seems to be very interested in you. How about you use a beauty trick and sacrifice your looks to make her pay less?"
"Go, go, stay here."Edgar Austin cursed with a smile.
Kaiden Barlow looked very serious, "Otherwise, I can do it, and I will sacrifice my appearance for the sake of our studio."
Edgar Austin slapped him, "Stop joking, I'm telling you business." After a pause, he said: "Take Emily and the others to dinner tonight, and pay Sister Chen and the others this month's salary in advance. Personal bonus of two thousand."
Ma Xiaoan held out a thumb and said, "Justice." Then he looked at Edgar Austin and said, "Aren't you going?"
Edgar Austin said: "I want to meet the client that Daleyza contacted."
Kaiden Barlow was stunned for a moment, "That woman Daleyza is so cunning. She is even ten meters away from you when she is on the phone. You don't even know the customer's last name. How can you go see her?"
Edgar Austin smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. I don't like to be a money-making machine for Daleyza. We always have to find our long-term customers."
"Okay, I will make it clear to everyone. This matter is very important, and everyone will understand."Kaiden Barlow said.
After chatting for a while, Edgar Austin processed the sample based on the drawings and parameters left by Daleyza. Kaiden Barlow took Chen Ajiao and others to the restaurant to celebrate the completion of the first order. Not long after they left, Edgar Austin also completed the processing of the samples, and he left the Thunder Horse Studio with the samples.
On the way, Edgar Austin dialed the mobile phone number he remembered.
The other party's cell phone only rang three times and the other party hung up the phone.
Many people won’t answer unknown numbers.
Edgar Austin frowned slightly, but he was not discouraged and dialed the mobile number again.
This time, after eight rings, the other party answered the call. It was a woman's voice, "Hello? Who are you?"
Edgar Austin took a breath and said in a polite tone: "Is this Sister Liu?"
"Yes, I am, who are you?" The other party was not polite at all, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone.
Edgar Austin said: "I am Daleyza's friend. She asked me to send you samples. Is it convenient for you now?"
"So that's it. I'm at home. You can bring your things to my house. I live at No. 28, Tower B, Gold Coast." With just this sentence, the other party hung up the phone.
Edgar Austin put away the phone, hailed a taxi and headed straight to the Gold Coast community.
Gold Coast is a well-known wealthy community in Haizhu City. It is on the seaside and you can enjoy beautiful sea views all day long. However, the houses here, even the elevator apartments, are very ordinary. Ordinary people can't even think about it, let alone buy one to live in.
Edgar Austin filled out the form at the gate guard, walked along a promenade lined with palm olive trees, and soon found No. 28, Building B. It was a three-story European-style villa with a market value of tens of millions. Although they haven't met yet and don't know each other well, Edgar Austin can still guess something about the value of this villa. That "Sister Liu" must be the boss of a certain company. People who work for people will never live in a villa like this even if they work for a lifetime!
Edgar Austin walked to the door and reached out to knock on the door. However, when he raised his hand, he put it down again, and he secretly said in his heart: "When we meet for the first time, what can I do to make people believe me? What's more, I have to leave Daleyza to discuss business with her, and will She became a long-term customer of mine. If I just went in like this, they might send me away with just a few words. Wouldn't my trip be in vain, and would Daleyza be even more wary of me? No, I have to find a way to get it. More information will do..."
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Edgar Austin's left eye suddenly jumped slightly, and the security door in front of him disappeared in front of him two seconds later.
In the living room, an old man was sitting on the sofa watching news programs. A three-year-old boy was playing with toys on the carpet. There were a lot of toys piled around him, including Transformers, Lego blocks, remote control cars, marbles and so on. A middle-aged nanny was cleaning the handrail of the stairs. From time to time, she looked back at the little boy beside the old man.
No one in the living room matched the characteristics of "Sister Liu". Edgar Austin then raised his head and looked towards the second floor. The wall on the second floor disappeared from his sight as if the ice and snow melted away, and a woman also entered his sight.
She is in her early thirties, has an oval face, delicate facial features, and her beauty is not inferior to those of young women in their early twenties.
The woman was changing clothes in front of a large wardrobe. She took off her OL professional attire and put on a looser cotton skirt. .
"It's really unexpected that a fat woman can be so sexy and eye-catching... What am I doing? I'm here to discuss business, not to appreciate beauties."Edgar Austin then moved his eyes away and looked at other places in the room. There was also a sense of anxiety in his heart. This time, through perspective, he didn't get any information that could help him negotiate a deal.
