Here, Zhou Xianzhong went out of the door and went downstairs, and saw Zhang Xiaolong leaning on a small truck downstairs, waiting for him.

Zhang Xiaolong looked up and saw Zhou Xianzhong, so he asked with a smile, "You went out quite quickly, did you have lunch?" ”

Zhou Xianzhong tidied up his coat for a while, and then spoke: "I was about to eat, and you called, it's not that everything is not your business, so I rushed out of the house in a hurry." ”

Zhang Xiaolong listened to his words, and his heart was very ironing.

"Let's go, how can I make you hungry, take you to have a meal first, let's eat and then go to the hardware and building materials store."

Zhou Xianzhong nodded when he heard this, and followed Zhang Xiaolong into the car.

The two of them simply had a meal, and Zhang Xiaolong took Zhou Xianzhong to the hardware and building materials store.

Zhou Xianzhong got out of the car, Zhang Xiaolong parked the car, and the two of them walked into the store, where the boss of the hardware and building materials store was taking stock of the new goods.

Zhou Xianzhong's eyes wandered around, looking at the layout of the store and the goods inside.

The shop is huge, with shelves on all sides, and shelves are stocked with all sorts of things.

But it is obvious that the owner of the store is a neat person, the shelves on all sides are very clear, one side is hardware accessories, what screws, nails, hinges, etc. are neatly arranged according to the size and size, one side is the common tools, what screwdrivers, wrenches, hacksaws, hammers, meter rulers and box rulers, the other side is lamps, locks, cables and wires, switches and sockets, etc., and the last side is a variety of coatings.

Zhou Xianzhong's eyes lit up, and he thought: If Lin Yilu and Xia are here, it is estimated that he will be excited to see what this looks like.

Zhang Xiaolong began to greet the boss when he entered the door, the owner of this store was surnamed Zhao, Zhang Xiaolong opened his mouth and said, "Boss Zhao, where are you packing up?" ”

Boss Zhao glanced at it and saw that it was Zhang Xiaolong who came, with a smile on his face: "Yo, it's better to come early than to come by chance, Boss Zhang doesn't know when I will arrive, when will you come?" What are you buying today? ”

Zhang Xiaolong listened to his ridicule and smiled: "If I had this ability, would I still be able to decorate?" It's been posted a long time ago! I'll take a look first, yours first. ”

Boss Zhao heard what he said, nodded in response, and then got busy with himself again.

Zhang Xiaolong and Boss Zhao have been friends for a long time, so Boss Zhao will not greet him, let him watch it first.

Zhang Xiaolong walked up to Zhou Xianzhong and asked him, "How is it, is there anything optimistic?" ”

Zhou Xianzhong looked back at him, "Hey, I'll just look at it blindly." What are you buying this time? ”

Zhang Xiaolong looked at the paint on the shelf, and then looked at the cables, wires, and switches and sockets on the shelves here, "Come and come and bring in a few buckets of latex paint to paint the wall, and then buy a batch of wires and switches and sockets, and take a look at the rest." ”

Zhou Xianzhong nodded, and Zhang Xiaolong then asked about the origin and brand of these things he wanted to buy.

The two of them were chatting energetically, and Boss Zhao came behind the two of them.

Boss Zhao counted the goods clearly and handed them over to the people below for placement, and then walked up to the two of them and said, "Boss Zhang, is this your friend?" Haven't seen it before? Also here to buy? ”

Zhang Xiaolong and Zhou Xianzhong turned around, and Zhang Xiaolong introduced to Boss Zhao, "Oh, this is my friend, he came to see me today." ”

Boss Zhao nodded, and the two of them nodded and said hello, then lost interest in Zhou Xianzhong, and chatted with Zhang Xiaolong about the goods.

Zhang Xiaolong asked: "Has the 10 kg of latex paint increased again this time?" How much is a barrel? If it's still the same price, bring me 3 barrels. A box of 10 pairs of 12-centimeter hinges on the door, give me 6 boxes, 2 boxes of switches and sockets, and 10 pounds of two-centimeter nails. ”

While listening, Boss Zhao smiled and counted with a calculator, and replied: "You haven't raised the money, you are an old customer, can you still know?" It's still 50 yuan a bucket, 3 barrels are a total of 150 yuan, 6 boxes of 12 cm hinges are 48 yuan, 4 boxes of switches and sockets are 72 yuan, 10 catties of iron nails are 16 yuan, a total of 286 yuan. ”

Boss Zhao finished the calculation, and after finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaolong looked at the numbers on the calculator and nodded, "Okay, let's take these." ”

Seeing Zhang Xiaolong nodding, Boss Zhao called someone to pick up the goods, and Zhang Xiaolong took out his wallet from his pocket to settle the bill.

After settling the account, the people under Boss Zhao took out all the goods.

Zhang Xiaolong went to clear the goods, and Zhou Xianzhong asked Boss Zhao: "Where did you get all the goods from?" What is the wholesale price? ”

Boss Zhao frowned, and he didn't want to pay attention to him, but for the sake of being Zhang Xiaolong's friend, he still had to reply to him: "This boss, isn't this asking this to smash our business?" How can anyone come up and ask the wholesale price? Even if we tell you the wholesale price, we can't give you the wholesale price. If we pay in according to how much money we pay and how much money we give to you, I don't have to do this transaction, what kind of business can I do if I don't make a penny? ”

Zhou Xianzhong waved his hand again and again, with a smile on his face, "I didn't mean that, Boss Zhao." I don't buy anything, but I'm not trying to smash your business. I am the first to ask you for advice, to see how the price of your purchase is, I am also going to the city of building materials market to do wholesale, in advance with you here to ask, if there is a fate in the future, maybe then we will cooperate. ”

Zhou Xianzhong's words were vague, but Boss Zhao heard it very clearly in his ears.

"Oh, you're going to the city to do wholesale building materials? Then you didn't say it earlier. If you had said it earlier, we would have talked a long time ago! Wholesale in the city's building materials market is also to shop around, if your goods are cheaper than others, then I must want your goods! When did you open your store? Have you decided on the location of the store? ”

Boss Zhao was very attentive at this time, Zhou Xianzhong smiled, "It has been opened recently, first come and ask how much the building materials market in the city will give you how much the goods are, and we also have a number in our hearts." When the time comes, you will shop around, and you will naturally know which one is cheaper and which one is better. ”

When Boss Zhao heard this, he was skeptical, but this wholesale price is not something that cannot be said, as long as it is to buy goods from the market in the city, everyone knows it, and there is no need to hide it.

So Zhou Xianzhong asked something, and he told him in a whisper, Zhou Xianzhong asked everything he wanted to know, and Boss Zhao didn't fake, but in the end he told Zhou Xianzhong not to tell Zhang Xiaolong.

Of course, Zhou Xianzhong knew this rule, and nodded hurriedly, promising not to talk nonsense.

Waiting for Zhang Xiaolong to count the good goods at the door, he called out to Zhou Xianzhong: "Xianzhong, have you finished talking to Boss Zhao?" After chatting, we will withdraw, and I have counted all the goods. ”

Zhou Xianzhong responded, "This is coming." ”

He turned his head to look at Boss Zhao again, and said with a smile: "Then I won't bother." I don't know if Boss Zhao can give me a business card, when the store opens another day, I'll call you, and then you can come to the store to see if there is anything you want. ”

Seeing that Zhou Xianzhong was quite polite, Boss Zhao hurriedly took a business card from the table and handed it to Zhou Xianzhong.

Zhou Xianzhong took it, nodded, and said goodbye to Boss Zhao again, and then left with Zhang Xiaolong.

Zhang Xiaolong sent Zhou Xianzhong downstairs to his house, Zhou Xianzhong thanked him again, and the two separated.

After returning home, Zhou Xianzhong called Lin Yilu and Xia to tell Lin Yilu and Xia about the situation, and made an appointment to go to the city to see the situation the next day.

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Xianzhong drove to pick up Lin Yilu and Xia from Linjia Village.

Entering Linjia Village, there were neighbors on the road who looked at Zhou Xianzhong's black car, guessing which house it came from.

Because of the appointment, Lin Yilu and Xia Xia were waiting at the door, and when they saw his car arrive, Lin Yilu opened the car door and went up first, and Xia Xia went up later.

Coincidentally, when I got in the car in the summer, I was seen by Zhang Lanfang.

Zhang Lanfang only saw that Xia got into a black car, but she didn't see that Lin Yilu was also inside.

For a while, she seemed to smell something terrible, and hurriedly went home to talk to Lin Ershui.

Zhou Xianzhong saw that the two of them got into the car, so he drove to the outside of the village.

got on the highway, Zhou Xianzhong handed the notebook at hand to Lin Yilu, "Look, this is what I asked from the hardware and building materials store in the county yesterday." I'm not sure if it's true, but it can be used as a reference. ”
