The things that Shen Mao needs to purchase here are very miscellaneous, there are dozens of reagents alone, as well as consumables, plus some cheap things in bottles and cans, if you really want to calculate it, at least no less than sixty or seventy items.

This also leads to a problem, that is, Lu Tao must contact many manufacturers, after all, the products made by each manufacturer are limited, and it is impossible to be able to package them directly like dealers.

Lu Tao thought about how to operate it, there were too many projects in it, even if he finished it, it would be more troublesome to settle with the manufacturer one by one. For example, there are some things with relatively low prices, and the quantity is not much, so you look for manufacturers because of such a little thing, and the manufacturers don't care about you very much, not to mention that you can't make money because of the time and effort.

In fact, if this situation is easier to solve more than ten years later, you only need to hand it over to a certain distributor, or you can directly spend thousands of dollars to register a company. But at this time, to register, not only need to pay in the registered capital, but also need to recruit personnel, fixed business premises, for the current Lu Tao, there is still some difficulty, even if he currently positions himself as a packaging dealer, can do anything.

After thinking about it, I can only retreat to the second, that is, I quote the price one by one on my side, and then I can go from one manufacturer, and I will get all of them together, and I will directly let the manufacturer operate it, and it will save me some trouble on my side, and it is more convenient to settle. If it really doesn't work, then list the higher added value, and then contact the manufacturer, so that it is equivalent to dividing it into several parts, and the contact manufacturer does not need so much.

If Shen Mao has no objection to the price, then let the manufacturer send the product directly to his dormitory after ordering, and then he will be responsible for delivery.

Things went relatively smoothly, and it took a morning for Lu Tao to contact several consumables manufacturers, and wrote them in a small book, listing them into a table, including specific names, specifications and models, and making a very detailed price list.

"Senior brother, this is some specific consumables listed by me according to the manufacturer's recommendation, you can take a look here. Lu Tao came to Shen Mao's laboratory.

"Senior brother, so fast?" Shen Mao still didn't believe it. If he really wants to do this, I'm afraid it will take at least three days, so many manufacturers, so many brands, you have to compare, right? Besides, he himself has to check the literature or something.

"Senior brother, you can take a look first, if there is no problem, I can arrange the order earlier. Professor Yu was there before, or I also know that the current transportation is a bit slow, and I am afraid that it will be troublesome to delay your experiments at that time. “

Lu Tao moved Professor Yu out from time to time, naturally giving Shen Mao a psychological hint: The professor has directly booked it, what else are you worried about?

"Thank you so much, now we are looking for something, we don't know who to look for, it seems that our school, those manufacturers still can't look at it. Hehe. Shen Mao sat in front of the experimental table while looking at the quotation sent by Lu Tao, and said in his mouth.

"What are you talking about, I hope that Senior Brother will take more care of it in the future. Lu Tao smiled.

"That's as it should be, this building is full of laboratories, and I'll tell you about it when the time comes. ”

Shen Mao didn't understand it at all, but the tutor gave him this task, took a cursory look at the name, and said directly: "There is no problem, these things can be used by our research group, let's take a batch first." If you buy it later, I'll contact you again. ”

Lu Tao said: "The price above is a quotation, if you set it here, you can still give it 5 points less to your side, after all, it is an experiment of the senior brothers, as a junior, you have to support it." “

Casting a long line to catch big fish is a plan that Lu Tao has long listed. Now there are still few people doing this in the past few years, and when everyone enters the industry one after another, the competition will be fierce, so in the early stage, this relationship must be established well, and daily maintenance must be carried out. After all, these people's experiments are not over in a month or two, even if they graduate, the follow-up people will still do it, as long as they give a good impression at the beginning, even if they make less money, it doesn't matter.

"Five points less? Shen Mao was still a little cautious about doing things for his mentor, and he couldn't help but be happy when he heard Lu Tao say that the price could be cheap.

"Yes, I'm more familiar with these manufacturers here, and if I talk to them, I will definitely make some profits. ”

"Thank you so much. Wait, I'll take this quote to the tutor for review now, but the problem is definitely not big, and this process still needs to be followed. Shen Mao said with a smile.

Lu Tao nodded, and looked at the laboratory, except for a few experimental tables, there are some simple things such as test tube Erlenmeyer flasks, no wonder I bought so many consumables at once this time, it seems that this experiment is really the preparatory stage, and it will not officially start until the consumables arrive.

Not long after, Shen Mao returned.

"The mentor said, buy these first, and you can arrange it as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, thank you, brother. By the way, senior brother, I see that you don't even have equipment here in the laboratory yet? can you carry out experiments just by buying these consumables?" Lu Tao had never been to this laboratory before, so he didn't know much about it. As for going to Shen Mao's dormitory, the experiment hadn't even started at that time, and there wasn't much conversation, let alone a lot of understanding.

"This, how can you do it without equipment, but the equipment is mainly our tutor is researching, after all, the amount is larger, and then there will be a bidding or something, so the teacher is doing it himself. ”

Lu Tao said tentatively: "Then does your mentor have any contact with the manufacturer?" If the manufacturer has been contacted directly, then there is no need for him to interfere, and the manufacturer does not want others to interfere.

"I don't know much about that, but our mentor is in the office today, so you can go in and introduce you. Shen Mao said directly.

"That's okay, thank you, brother. ”

Lu Tao walked out of the laboratory, walked to the door of Tutor Shen Mao's office, looked at the name written on the sign, and knocked on the door.

"Please come in. ”

Lu Tao was thinking about how to ask something, and at the same time politely introduced himself. Of course, at this time, he did not introduce him as a part-time student, but said that he was the person in charge of a certain manufacturer here.

Although there is a feeling of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the appearance itself looks a little immature, it needs to be given different respect for different customers. It's like if you go to the principal because of a project, and the ordinary salesperson goes to the boss in person, the feeling is naturally very different from the content of the conversation.

Even if the teacher has doubts in his heart, Lu Tao is not afraid of going through the gang in the future anyway, at this time, mobile phones and the Internet are not so popular, and no one is so boring to check it out.

After listening to Lu Tao's intention, Professor Xu said politely: "When I was abroad before, I still know more about your products. ”

Lu Tao's purpose is just to hear the news, so he doesn't plan to introduce the product at all.

"Yes, Professor Xu, the reputation of our products in foreign countries is very good, but now there is less promotion in China, and the price is relatively expensive, so in fact, I don't know much, after all, there are not many scholars who can often visit and exchange abroad like you, teacher. “

Lu Tao's unintentional compliments made Professor Xu very useful, and said with a smile: "Your instrument, I will consider it later." ”

Lu Tao's purpose was not on this at all, and he said, "It seems that the experiment hasn't started yet, teacher, right?"

"yes, the equipment isn't in place yet. Professor Xu did not doubt him, and replied directly.

As soon as he heard this, Lu Tao knew that there was basically no drama, but he still said: "If it is imported equipment, the delivery period is relatively long." “

I don't have much interest in this list, after all, from Professor Xu, Lu Tao already knows that he has contacted the manufacturer, and he is not a regular dealer now, although the relationship seems to be okay with Professor Yu's side, but if you really want to do this kind of thing, whether you are willing to help is another matter. So a few more compliments came out.

Doing things, there will be successes and failures, Lu Tao has long been able to predict that even if he returns from rebirth, there are some things that he can't do by himself. The business in the world cannot be done by him alone, so he was not disappointed at all, and he was able to start a business, and he is now satisfied.

At the very least, it's a good start.
