After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 136 Oops, I was cheated!

Leave from Xinge Middle School.

The little friends laughed and talked happily.

Wang Wenrui admitted defeat and said, "Now I'm really convinced. Selling books really needs you two. I thought I could do it too... Hehe, in such a crucial situation, I'm really not so good."

Tian Yueran said with emotion, "Yes, with so many school leaders here just now, my legs are shaking. That Principal Zhang is a very famous professor at Jiaotong University, an educator, and also a member of the municipal committee."

Wang Wenrui exclaimed in admiration, "Great job, Dongfang! I didn't realize you could really step up at the critical moment!"

Dongfang Lang was also frightened. "I was also scared just now. I went in with all my might."

"That's also your thing."

As the squad leader, Wang Wenrui was not convinced by Zhou Haoran and Dongfang Lang.

Later, when the campus book sale was planned, he changed his opinion of Zhou Haoran.

This time selling books at Xinge Middle School made him change his opinion of Dongfang Lang.

At this critical moment, no one dared to breathe.

Only Dongfang Lang can take over.

As for Zhou Haoran...

Everyone is used to it, and it seems that he should be that good.

Dongfang Lang smiled and said, "This is the first time, and no one has any experience. It will get better later. Once you get used to it, you'll know how to deal with it. Experience and knowledge are accumulated."

Chen Zixuan looked at him with her beautiful eyes, "Dongfang, what you said is very good."

Tian Yueran slapped his forehead and let out an "Oh".

I think this friend is a little too crazy.

I originally liked Wang Wenrui.

Later she had a crush on Zhou Haoran.

Now she is also flirting with Dongfang Lang.

Chen Zixuan was so embarrassed that she quickly covered Tian Yueran's mouth.

Dongfang Lang, having been taught a lesson by Zhou Haoran, calmed down and said with a smile, "No matter what, this first stop was a huge success! We got a massive order of 3200 copies right away!"

Ma Huilei was the top scorer in the liberal arts exam. She had just joined the group and didn't know much about the situation, so she asked, "How are these books priced?"

Chen Zixuan quickly said, "We have a tiered pricing system. If the order quantity is less than 1000 copies, we won't sell it. If the order quantity is less than 2000 copies, we'll sell it at the original price of 15 yuan per copy. If the order quantity is less than 3000 copies, we'll give you a 4000% discount. If the order quantity is less than 4000 copies, we'll give you a % discount. If the order quantity is more than copies, we'll give you a % discount."

"Those 3200 copies..." Ma Huilei silently calculated and was shocked. "The total order amount is over 3 yuan?"

Dongfang Lang smiled and said, "Yes, a total of 3 yuan."

Ma Huilei gasped in shock, "So many!"

Chen Zixuan, from a well-off family, said nonchalantly, "That's not a big number. There are 2200 senior students at Xinge Middle School. 1400 of them are science students, and 800 are arts students. If we order all of them, we should be ordering 4400 copies."

Guo Zhiyuan came from a poor family, so he could empathize with the situation the most. "Didn't Zhou Haoran just say that schools should be allowed to print privately and leave room for pirated copies for students from less well-off families?"

"Yeah, it's my duty." Chen Zixuan nodded slightly and looked up at Zhou Haoran. "Haoran, I think what we are doing is very meaningful!"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Yes, making money is secondary. This is our summer social practice activity. We are doing something very meaningful."

"Ok!"

There seemed to be peach blossoms in Chen Zixuan's eyes.

Tian Yueran poked her in the waist and whispered, "Okay, stop being such a fangirl!"

"wrong!"

Sheng Weicheng, the top scorer in science, suddenly let out a low growl with a serious expression.

"what happened?"

Everyone respected him and felt that his tone was wrong.

Sheng Weicheng said with deep sorrow: "We made a mistake!"

Tian Yueran was very surprised. "What mistake?"

Sheng Weicheng stamped his feet and slapped his thighs, saying anxiously, "We made a mistake in the calculation!"

"How did you calculate wrong?"

The students were all confused.

Chen Zixuan was lively and talkative. He tilted his head and said, "Did I calculate correctly? Each copy is priced at 15 yuan, and 3200 copies can be discounted by 3200%. So it's 15 times 0.7 times 33600, which is , right? I have a pen here, let's do the math."

As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper to check the number.

Mental arithmetic is indeed difficult.

"Wrong, all wrong!" Sheng Weicheng was extremely anxious. "If they ordered 2800 books, how much would that cost? Just do the math!"

"2800 books..."

Chen Zixuan had already squatted down, holding a pen and paper to calculate.

Some students who are good at math do mental arithmetic.

There are 2800 books, priced between 2000 and 3000 yuan, and they can be discounted by %.

The calculation is 2800 times 15, and then times 0.8...

Guo Zhiyuan was good at math, so he figured it out mentally and blurted out, "33600!"

As soon as he said this, his face turned pale.

He looked flustered and anxious, just like Sheng Weicheng.

Chen Zixuan has also finished his written calculations.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Really 33600!

The price of selling 3200 books is the same as the price of selling 2800 books!
Although the former has a larger quantity and a larger discount, the latter has a smaller quantity and a smaller discount.

When we finally calculated it, the total order price was the same!

What a big loss!

"This this……"

Wang Wenrui became panicked.

Chen Zixuan stamped her feet, tears almost falling, and cried, "We made a mistake. There's a loophole in this tiered discount..."

It was the first time for everyone to do business.

Previously, they were all good students in school and lacked experience and knowledge in social practice.

I didn't expect such a big mistake to happen now.

For a time, there was chaos.

Li Yang realized it belatedly and said, "No wonder, no wonder! Just now in the principal's office, when they were counting, I felt that their expressions were not right."

Wang Wenrui slapped his thigh in anger and said angrily, "I told you so. Why didn't they bargain? They just offered 3200 copies right away."

Tian Yueran also realized it and said slowly, "The Dean of Studies initially said he wanted to order 3050 copies. Later, Principal Zhang said he wanted to order 3200 copies. They must have calculated it long ago and caught the loophole in our tiered pricing!"

Chen Zixuan murmured softly, "Yes, they are all school leaders. How many books do they usually order for the school? They are experienced and must have discovered it long ago."

Wang Wenrui said solemnly, "It's a tiered pricing mechanism. The more books you purchase, the bigger the discount. I guess all bookstores do this. The school already has a complete set of experience to deal with this."

"Don't forget, Principal Zhang is a mathematics professor. He must have figured it out long ago!"

"Yes, and an educator!"

"They ordered more than 3000 copies just to get a 3050% discount. They originally wanted to order 3200, but later changed it to . They simply didn't want to look too good."

Wang Wenrui's analysis is very logical.

It's just a little late.

Both parties agreed.

Although there is no formal contract, how can you have the nerve to change something that has been confirmed?

This was my own fault!

Guo Zhiyuan sighed, "I was cheated!"

Tian Yueran was very distressed and complained, "We are still too inexperienced. How come we didn't notice the trick here... Sheng Weicheng, why didn't you find out earlier?"

Sheng Weicheng also looked innocent. "I just got involved today. I didn't know your quotation system before."

"Oh! I'm doomed!" Tian Yueran sighed, pinning her hopes on that amazing classmate. "Hmm... Zhou Haoran, can this be changed?"

"Change?" Zhou Haoran was a little amused. "Why change it?"

"Huh?" Tian Yueran was a little angry and said angrily, "We were all deceived, why are you still laughing? There is a loophole in our tiered quotation mechanism, and they took advantage of us!"
