After Lin Ping talked with Manager Yang of the sporting goods company for a while, Manager Yang bit the price very hard, the construction cost of the octagonal cage plus boxing protective equipment and sandbags, the lowest price that could be given to Lin Ping was 50,000 yuan.

So, in line with the principle of shopping around, Lin Ping went to several other sporting goods companies and fight clubs in Linxi City to inquire about the price, and after a round of talks, it was still the first octagonal cage style and price that Lin Ping was the most satisfied, and the cost performance was the highest.

So, Lin Ping returned to the first sporting goods company and discussed with Manager Yang again.

Manager Yang said with a smile: "Principal Lin, what I gave you is really the lowest price, to be honest, I don't earn your money at all." I just think your idea of building an octagon boxing ring in your school is very interesting, so it can be regarded as a support for your school. ”

Lin Ping naturally knew that this Manager Yang was cheating on ghosts, and it was impossible not to make money, but he shouldn't be able to earn too much from Lin Ping.

After the formal agreement, Lin Ping and Manager Yang signed the contract, and Manager Yang said with a smile: "You said that you are a high school principal, and the bargaining price for us is too low." ”

Lin Ping said helplessly: "No way, the school is poor, you can save a little." ”

Manager Yang smiled again and said, "By the way, Principal Lin, how many orders do we give you?"

Lin Ping was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Manager Yang said with a smile: "It's just to give you a bill, how much does it cost? Is it 60,000 or 70,000? You just need to make up the taxes and fees for us." ”

Lin Ping reacted: "No, open as usual, just open 50,000?"

Manager Yang was slightly stunned: "Are you sure? I can give you 70,000 yuan, and then return you almost 20,000 yuan, you can rest assured, we will not talk nonsense about this kind of industry rules." ”

Lin Ping shook his head again: "No, open as usual, we will open as much as we want." ”

Manager Yang said with a smile while opening a list for Lin Ping: "It's really rare for someone like you not to take rebates, last time a school came to our company to help them build a plastic basketball court, and the construction cost of 70,000 yuan let us open a list of 120,000 yuan for him, which is the most ruthless I have ever seen." ”

Lin Ping didn't speak, Manager Yang handed Lin Ping a copy of the receipt and said: "Principal Lin, you have to pay a deposit of 5,000 yuan, after paying, give us the address of your school, and we will send someone to your school to build this octagonal cage next week, and after the construction is completed, we will settle the final payment with your school." ”

"Good. ”

After Lin Ping paid the deposit, he came out of this sporting goods company, and it was already night, and the bus back to Xibei County had been suspended at this point, and Lin Ping had to spend the night in Lin Xi City tonight.

Lin Ping walked on the street, and remembered his old friend Li Yufei, he stood on the side of the road and hesitated for a while, and finally took out the phone, and then dialed Li Yufei's phone number.

"Hey, Principal Lin, what's the matter?" the phone was picked up, and Li Yufei's voice came from the phone with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's just that I just happened to come to our Linxi City to do business, so I plan to talk to reporter Li Da to catch up and invite you to dinner. Lin Ping said with a smile.

"Okay, where are you now? At the bus station? I'll pick you up. Li Yufei readily agreed to Lin Ping's invitation.

"No, no, no. Lin Ping hurriedly said, "That, you don't have to pick me up, Lin Xi and I don't know each other, you name a place to eat, and then I'll go over, you can eat whatever you want." ”

Li Yufei smiled and asked, "Then is this your treat?" or am I a treat?"

Lin Ping replied with a smile: "You have a treat, I'll pay." ”

Li Yufei was amused by Lin Ping and laughed happily: "Okay, let's go about the clear water and blue sky where we ate last time." ”

Lin Ping promised: "Okay, I'll go over right away." ”

Lin Ping flagged down a taxi and headed for the clear water and blue sky.

When Lin Ping arrived at the clear water and blue sky, Li Yufei was already waiting for Lin Ping at the door of the hotel.

Lin Ping trotted over and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm in a traffic jam on the road at this point." Stuck in traffic for a while keeps you waiting. ”

"It's okay, I've just arrived. Li Yufei said with a smile, "And if you talk to me, what do you use, you make me uncomfortable to listen to this, see outside." ”

Lin Ping smiled wryly, and then the two walked into the hotel.

"Hello, sir, ma'am, how many of you?" the waiter greeted him warmly.

Li Yufei raised his hand, stretched out two fingers, shook it with a smile, and said, "Both, then find us a quiet place." ”

"Well, okay, please come with me. ”

The waiter took Lin Ping and Li Yufei to a window position on the second floor, where they could enjoy the bustling night view of Lin Xi outside the window.

The two sat down by the window, and the waiter took the menu and said with a smile, "What do you two order?"

Lin Ping said: "You order, I'll do it." ”

Li Yufei said with a smile: "Then is this your treat or my treat?"

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Didn't you say it, you have a treat, I'll pay, so you order." ”

At this time, the waiter looked at the two and said with a smile: "Sir, ma'am, we happen to have a set meal for two couples now, just on the last few pages of the menu, you two can take a look." ”

"No, no, no. Lin Ping hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

On the other side, Li Yufei flipped to the last few pages of the menu, looked at a few couple packages, and then said: "I think these couple packages are okay, uh-huh, especially this one, you see, almost all of them are what I like to eat." ”

As he spoke, Li Yufei held the menu in front of Lin Ping's eyes, Lin Ping glanced at it perfunctorily, and then said reluctantly: "Okay, you can do whatever you want." ”

Li Yufei pursed his lips, glanced at Lin Ping, and then said to the waiter: "That's it for this 328 couple package." ”

After ordering the meal, Li Yufei asked Lin Ping with a smile: "Why do you have time to come to Lin Xi today? What business are you busy with? Do you want to send your students to Lin Xi Sports School?"

Lin Ping shook his head and said, "No." ”

Li Yufei smiled again and asked, "By the way, are Teacher Zhang and Teacher Yu in your school very affectionate now? And, you know, the last time about their wedding report, caused a very big social repercussions, this news has won the attention of the province, may be rated as our province's outstanding education news this year, and I have also been praised by the newspaper, not surprisingly, I should be an excellent reporter of our newspaper this year. ”

After Li Yufei said this, he showed a little smug expression, as if he was saying to Lin Ping: "Praise me, praise me." ”

Lin Ping nodded: "Well, it's good." ”

Li Yufei helplessly held her forehead with her hand, melancholy, she suddenly felt that what was sitting in front of her was not a man with flesh and blood and feelings, but a robot made of steel.

Li Yufei supported his chin with both hands, covered the lower half of his face, and said in a helpless tone: "You can't say something...... Tell me something...... Besides, what do you don't want to say when I say I'm going to be named a good journalist?"

"yes, that's good. It's all good, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yu are very good now, and it's good that you are rated as an excellent reporter. Lin Ping replied calmly.

Li Yufei closed his eyes helplessly, pinched his forehead, was hurt by Lin Pingqi's head, and said to himself: "I really lost to you." ”
