Section 1457 The more you buy, the more you get
Among the gifts that fans give to young girls, the largest number is all kinds of dolls. Such a gift is also very in line with the children's orientation and hobbies, and it can be said that it is just right to transfer it to the children.
Moreover, the gifts that fans give to idols must not be worried about in terms of quality. This makes the girls more assured when choosing.
Including Jessica, there are a total of six girls who are choosing gifts. Because of the variety of gifts, the girls will always laugh and play when they choose, and this atmosphere has always maintained a very lively feeling.
Putting those shots aside, let's take a look at what the outing team is doing.
Because the eldest Xu Xian wanted to buy some books for the children as gifts, in order to ensure that he could buy suitable books, Li Jingyuan could only take them to a relatively large supermarket, and the one he planned to go to was a little smaller, although there were also books and audio products for sale, but the variety was still a little small.
After arriving at the supermarket, several people began to act separately.
"OPPA, sisters, I'm going to the bookstall too. If you have any questions, just call me. After saying this, the old man left the team first and walked towards the section selling books in the mall.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has only been a day, and most of the people who have returned to their hometowns to visit relatives have not returned, so the number of customers in the mall is naturally not too large. Seeing such a situation, Li Jingyuan felt that there was no problem in letting the old man act alone, so he didn't go out of his way to tell anything. Or act with the old man. Pulling an empty shopping cart at the entrance, Li Jingyuan greeted Yun'er and Xiuying: "Let's go, let's start too." ”
“OPPA。 You go and shop your own, we can do it ourselves. To Li Jingyuan's surprise, Yuna and Xiuying didn't want him to go together.
“……。” As soon as I saw the expressions of the two girls, I knew that they definitely wanted to try it when they were visiting the supermarket, and at the same time they didn't want to be nagged by themselves, so they didn't want to be with them. A little speechless, Li Jingyuan's face showed an expression of crying and laughing.
"Okay, okay. Go shopping on your own, I'll just walk around and call me if I have something. That's right. Don't eat too much. "Although the idea of the two girls is a little childish, it is not good to say it. Without thinking too much, Li Jingyuan agreed to their construction. Of course. At the time of departure. A word of advice is still necessary. After all, these two people are foodies, and if they don't remind them, maybe they may really delay their business because of the tasting.
After separating from the three girls, Li Jingyuan walked around the mall alone. Before he knew it, he was on the second floor and into the area where household goods were sold.
By the way, I should have bought some bedding. Seeing that there were some children's bedding models among the goods sold here, Li Jingyuan's mind suddenly had another idea.
There are many things that the children in the orphanage need. In addition to new clothes, new toys and other things, new bedding is also one of the must-haves. Before. Among the carts of items prepared by Li Jingyuan, there were a few shelf beds that had not yet been assembled, but because it was an order placed in the wood yard at that time, and the place did not sell bedding, he really forgot about that stubble.
Maybe it's because I went back to the Mid-Autumn Festival, not only are there not many customers in the mall, but the number of salespeople seems to be a little less than usual. After looking for a while, Li Jingyuan found a salesperson and consulted her about bedding
Some people may say, Li Jingyuan, aren't you rich? So what else do you ask, as long as you can't buy the expensive ones?
That's not what I said. If you have money, you can't spend it indiscriminately, right? Yes, there are many types of bedding to choose from, but not all of them are suitable for children. Only the right size, material, and other aspects of the futon is the type Li Jingyuan wants.
Moreover, Li Jingyuan needs more than just one bed and two beds. Although the scale of the welfare home is not too large, there are also thirty or forty children, and in order to prevent all kinds of small problems between the children because of 'you have and I don't', Li Jingyuan has to buy a sufficient number of bedding at one time and give each child a share.
Thirty or forty beds of the same bedding, even if they are vacuum-packed, will definitely not be small in volume after being put together. Obviously, the shopping mall has so many identical goods on the shelves at the same time when it is loaded, that is to say, if Li Jingyuan wants to achieve his wish, in addition to buying the goods that have been put on the shelves, he also has to ask the salesperson to go to the warehouse to see if there is enough inventory to meet the remaining part of the demand.
Thankfully, I asked. The salesperson's reply was that there was not enough stock, so if you didn't ask first, but chose it and then ordered me to come with another 40 beds like this when you paid the bill, it would be a bit of a problem.
Another benefit is that I got the supplier's phone number from the salesperson. (In each area of the mall, there is actually a responsible person, who is not only responsible for loading the shelves, but also responsible for contacting the supplier in a timely manner, and reminding the supplier to supply again in case of insufficient supply.) In some cases, the relationship between these managers and suppliers is even more familiar than the relationship between the manager of a shopping mall and the supplier. In this way, Li Jingyuan can contact the supplier directly and get enough goods at a lower price than the supermarket price.
Some people may ask, is there a problem with the salesperson in the mall? How could you directly send the supplier's phone number to Li Jingyuan? Shouldn't the supplier deliver the goods to the mall, and then sell the goods to Li Jingyuan at the selling price in the mall?
Generally speaking, it should be like that. But isn't that a little more special now?
First of all, Li Jingyuan needs too many quantities. Naturally, the salesperson will ask the reason out of curiosity. When he learned that Li Jingyuan was not shopping for himself, but for the children in the welfare home, the salesman was also somewhat moved. Although there is no way to shell out a large sum of money for the children like Li Jingyuan. But there is no problem in giving up his little bit of commission, and out of the idea of wanting to contribute, it is not too surprising that this salesman handed over the supplier's contact information directly to Li Jingyuan.
Secondly, it is a matter of time.
If the goods are sent to the mall and then sold to Li Jingyuan. In the middle, it has to go through a series of processes such as delivery, warehousing, registration, sale, and home delivery. No matter how efficient this process is, it will take at least more than an hour. And so it goes. It's a little too much trouble.
And, as I said before, it's the first day after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Whether it's in a mall. On the supplier side, they are still in a state of shortage. In this case, isn't it asking for trouble to engage in that set of cumbersome processes?
After getting the number. Li Jingyuan first thanked the salesman. Then I quickly dialed the supplier's phone.
After about three or four rings, the phone was connected, and then a formulaic voice came: "Hello, this is XX factory~." ”
"Hello, that, I'm Li Jingyuan." After a slight pause, he left a moment for the other party to react, and then Li Jingyuan continued: "Excuse me." Do you sell children's futons? ”
"Yes, yes. Wait a minute. Who do you say you are? "It's already surprising enough to suddenly receive a call from an artist, not to mention the most eye-catching call from Li Jingyuan in recent times. Li Jingyuan deliberately left a little less time to react, and the people over there confirmed it several times after answering the 'yes'.
"Li Jingyuan."
"Really? Is it Jing Yuan? Hey, this is really a big deal~! Before, it seemed that the voice was quite young, but now Li Jingyuan can really hear it, and the person who answered the phone opposite is at least an eldest sister in her thirties and forties.
"That, that ......." It seems that the eldest sister seems to be really excited, and for nearly ten seconds, Li Jingyuan has no way to talk to her about business. The other party likes him very much, and Li Jingyuan is of course very grateful, but it is not a way to go on like this, so in desperation, he had to think of a way - hang up the phone first, and then dial it again.
"Hey, is it Li Jingyuan XI?" It only rang once, and the phone was answered again. This time, the voice on the other side finally stabilized a little. That's right, in the panic just now, the eldest sister didn't write down Li Jingyuan's number, so she didn't dare to confirm 100% that the call was made by Li Jingyuan, so she naturally hesitated a little when she answered the phone.
"It's me, it's me. I'm sorry, I accidentally hung up the phone, I'm sorry. If there is a gap, let the eldest sister on the other side find a chance to speak, maybe she will be more and more excited and enter the state just now, so Li Jingyuan only needs to say a long list of things by himself: "I want to ask, do you have children's models of bedding for sale there, that is, for single cots, I need a relatively large quantity, about forty sets, do you have enough inventory there?" ”
Although it is called a factory, it is actually just a small family-owned business. Except for the eldest sister and her husband, there were only three or four hired workers. In fact, if it weren't for the quality of the products of this small family-run business, there might not have been a way to squeeze into the supermarket and sell its own products on the shelves.
"Forty sets? Please wait a minute, I'll ask. Since it is a small family-style business, of course, the inventory will not be too sufficient, after hearing Li Jingyuan's request, the eldest sister hesitated a little, and then lowered the microphone a little, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Husband~~!" Do we still have a trumpet futon in the storeroom? Is there enough for forty sets? ”
"Wang~Wang~, Wang~!"
"That's enough, it took two days to get it done~. Who wants it? Is it from the supermarket? ”
"No, it's Li Jingyuan, it's Li Jingyuan on TV."
It seems that the eldest sister and her husband are quite far apart, and the movement during the conversation seems to be not small. Li Jingyuan held the phone, and not only heard these conversations, but also heard the barking of the alarmed puppy in the eldest sister's house.
After checking the inventory. The rest of the matter is simple, and I said a few words to the eldest sister and told her the address of my home. asked her to help deliver the goods, and after that, Li Jingyuan hung up the phone with satisfaction. Of course, before putting the phone away, Li Jingyuan didn't forget to notify the girls who stayed at home, and asked Jessica to take the card she left at home and settle the account when the eldest sister delivered the goods to the door.
The futon is done. The procurement is not over yet. Because of the bedding, Li Jingyuan thought of some other daily necessities, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, soap and the like. It's because it's too small and inconspicuous, so Li Jingyuan forgot about it before and had to purchase these things.
Pushing a shopping cart and stuffing it into the cart while shopping, it didn't take a while. Li Jingyuan collected a cart full of daily necessities.
I saw that a car couldn't be stuffed anymore. If you have two cars, it's hard to push it alone. So, Li Jingyuan had to call Xu Xian first, ask about her progress, and then ask if he could come over and help.
Xu Xian just wanted to buy some children's books for the children, that is, fairy tale books or picture books and the like. It's not like you want to buy textbooks, so you don't need to buy one copy per person according to the number of heads. When he received Li Jingyuan's call, Xu Xian had already selected about twenty or thirty books, which was already quite a lot. However, in terms of volume alone, it does not even fill a quarter of the shopping cart.
There are so many empty places. Xu Xian naturally did not refuse Li Jingyuan's request, and after receiving the call, he immediately pushed the cart to the second floor, and used the spare space on her car to load a lot of daily necessities.
"OPPA, is there anything else you want to buy?" Both cars were full, and if you wanted to continue shopping, you had to get another one. I don't know whether to continue or end the purchase, Xu Xian confirmed to Li Jingyuan again.
"I'll take a look, toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, soap, laundry detergent, um~, and bedding, it's almost, go find Yuna and Xiuying." After counting the types of goods in the shopping cart, Li Jingyuan felt that it was almost there, and then took the lead in turning the front of the car and led Xu Xian to walk in the direction of the elevator.
"Futon? Where's the futon? I didn't know that Li Jingyuan had ordered bedding from the supplier before, but when he saw the current situation that there was no bedding in the shopping cart, Xu Xian suddenly couldn't understand the situation, and couldn't help but remind him again: "OPPA, are you mistaken, we didn't buy futons." ”
"Oh, that's ...... before." Since Xu Xian asked, Li Jingyuan would not hide it, and quickly explained it to her. In order to be able to say something more interesting, Li Jingyuan also specifically mentioned the voices that the eldest sister shouted when she greeted her husband.
"Hey, by the way, Xu Xian, how about we buy a few small pet dogs for the children?" Speaking of the barking of the dog at that time, while amusing Xu Xian, another thought popped up in Li Jingyuan's mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was appropriate, so he couldn't help but mention it again, wanting Xu Xian to help refer to it.
"Buying puppies for the kids?" Suddenly hearing Li Jingyuan's mention, Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he replied with some hesitation: "OPPA, it seems that the funds in the welfare home are not enough, isn't it inappropriate to let them have pets?" ”
Xu Xian's worries are not unreasonable. The welfare home was originally maintained by handouts, and all the funds were used to take care of the children, even if they were a little rich, they would definitely not choose to buy dogs and dog food, but would try to save as many children as possible.
"Don't worry about dog food or anything, hasn't OPPA been sponsoring the stray dog rescue station? Even if you buy a puppy for the children in the welfare home, it is nothing more than a matter of sending a few more bags of dog food. ”
"That's fine. If you don't have to worry about dog food, it's definitely a good idea to buy pets for your kids. The children in the welfare home are already lacking a love, and they may be more extreme or fragile than ordinary children, and if they have a small pet with them, it is still very good for their mental health. Sure enough, it was a scholar, and Xu Xian immediately said a bunch of truths. In fact, the truths she said were exactly what Li Jingyuan was thinking just now.
"Then let's do it. Hurry up and call those two, we're going to the pet store. After deciding on it, Li Jingyuan took out the phone and quickly contacted Yun'a and Xiuying, who had not seen anyone yet.
"By the way, OPPA, why don't you go to the stray dog shelter to adopt a puppy?" Just when Li Jingyuan was calling, Xu Xian suddenly asked another question, which was also because Li Jingyuan inadvertently mentioned the stray dog rescue station just now.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that it's too late. To adopt a puppy over there, you need to go through the formalities, and we definitely won't be able to do it today. ”
In fact, Li Jingyuan did not choose those puppies in the rescue station, not because of the reason he said to Xu Xian, but because there were several other reasons.
One is because the puppies in the stray dog shelter are not necessarily healthy, some puppies have infectious diseases, and now they want to buy pets for their children, of course, they can't take risks.
Second, it is also because the puppies in the stray dog rescue station have been psychologically traumatized, and they may be more sensitive when they come into contact with people, and maybe they will be aggressive because of some small actions of the children. For small children, it is still more dangerous. (To be continued......)
