Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

While Li Defu was away, the three of them started working and set up all twenty-six television sets.

To be honest, it looks a bit empty.

The Panasonic 8-inch TVs, in particular, are incredibly small. Each TV is about the size of an A4 sheet of paper. With twenty-six TVs displayed in the store, it felt quite empty.

But what the heck.

Just sell it.

"Uncle Yi..." Xu Damao said, "From now on, we'll make a fortune together, haha... But there's one more thing we need to talk about!"

"Shenlong TV Factory still owes us a deposit of one thousand yuan!"

“That’s right!” said Third Uncle Yan Bugui, “We have to get it back!”

"But..." Uncle Yi said, "When we signed the contract, it was agreed that this thousand yuan would also be a penalty for breach of contract. Now we're the ones who are in breach of contract!"

"Bullshit!" Xu Damao said, "It's Shenlong TV that has a safety problem. I'm not in breach of contract at all. If anyone is in breach of contract, it's them."

"Let's go, this afternoon we'll go ask for the money!"

The shop will be closed this afternoon!

Xu Damao and his two companions rode their bicycles in a great hurry to Shenlong TV Factory again.

Sales department.

“Minister Yang…we’re here to get our deposit back…” Xu Damao sat down on the sofa in Minister Yang’s office with an air of nonchalance: “Your Shenlong TVs have safety issues now, and we’ve heard they might even explode in the future, so we’ve come to demand the termination of our cooperation!”

"You have to return our deposit to us!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Bugui said, "This time it's not our fault, you were the ones who were wrong first!"

Minister Yang chuckled and poured a glass of water for each of the three men, patiently explaining, "Gentlemen, it's not what you think. Someone framed us... Please listen to me..."

"This matter should be resolved in three days at most. Our leaders have already started communicating with the instigator... I hope you won't give up easily, and will wait and see... If the problem isn't resolved in three days, I will refund your deposit!"

How could three people possibly do that?

They had already staked everything on Matsushita's Kohachi-sun.

"That won't do!" Xu Damao said, "It's impossible. We can't wait for you for three days. What a huge loss I would suffer in three days... I'm sorry, you must return the deposit!"

"Good good..."

Minister Yang could only nod with a wry smile and say, "Alright, since you insist, then we'll terminate the contract... However, I still ask you to reconsider. After all, you were introduced by Director Liu, and this is a rare opportunity. Once you miss it, it will be difficult to find another one!"

After all, there are only twenty-one sales regions in the entire city of Beijing.

This means there are only twenty-one stores.

If you give up, you're giving up the opportunity.

But none of the three of them would accept it under any circumstances.

The two parties had no choice but to tear up the contract, and then Minister Yang returned the 1,000 yuan deposit.

"Hehe..." The three of them left the sales department, and Xu Damao said with a smile, "I didn't expect this factory to be so easy to talk to. They just gave us a refund. I thought they would argue for a while!"

Yan Bugui said, "They're in the wrong, they'll definitely have to give it back to us!"

Yi Zhonghai said, "It might be because of Liu Aiguo... Let's go, we're already here, let's go see Aiguo."

The three then went to Liu Aiguo's office.

"Liu Aiguo... is busy!" Xu Damao reverted to his true nature and stopped calling Liu Aiguo "brother".

Liu Aiguo looked up at the three of them and asked, "Is your shop finished being renovated? Are you here to buy more goods?"

"And..." Xu Damao said with a look of disdain, "What are you going to stock? Your Shenlong TV is about to go bankrupt... I heard that your stuff can explode, you didn't know that?"

"Patriotism, huh!" Uncle San said with a chuckle. "We're here to get our deposit back..."

"Yes!" Yi Zhonghai said, "We don't sell Shenlong TVs anymore, we sell Panasonic now, imported goods, good quality. Aiguo... You helped us this time, but I'd like to give you a piece of advice, Shenlong TVs are probably not doing well... You'd better find a good buyer quickly!"

"Sigh... To be honest, private companies are unreliable, especially state-owned enterprises... If you had gone with them to the steel mill back then, you might still be a deputy director now!"

"Alright, you'd better watch yourself, we're leaving!"

Amid Liu Aiguo's astonished gaze, the three men strode away.

Good heavens... I exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

Liu Aiguo is simply amazing!

Damn it... You guys wasted such a good opportunity.

This time I'm genuinely trying to help you guys.

This……

Okay, don't blame me when you're crying later.

Just then, Assistant Chen came over to report on his work.

"Haven't you found it yet?"

Liu Aiguo asked Assistant Chen.

Assistant Chen smiled wryly and said, "No... he's been out for the past few days, said he's on a business trip!"

"Bullshit!" Liu Aiguo said, "They must have done something wrong and are hiding to avoid trouble... We can't wait any longer. I'll give you one day. I have an appointment with someone tomorrow afternoon, and I need to see them then!"

"You...you can also use some unconventional methods!"

Liu Aiguo waved his hand at Assistant Chen.

Assistant Chen's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Understood, boss, don't worry!"

They were all summoned from the system, so they naturally knew what extraordinary measures meant.

They wouldn't dare to act recklessly unless their boss gave the order.

The boss has spoken; how can I not find an Editor-in-Chief Zhang?

Chapter 143 Editor-in-Chief Zhang is Terrified

Previously, Assistant Chen was only under Editor-in-Chief Hou Zhang.

To put it bluntly, I'm waiting for him.

Now, things are different. The boss has spoken, and we're going to use unconventional methods. So, we're not waiting for him anymore; we're going to find him.

It only took about two hours to locate Editor-in-Chief Zhang's home.

"Walk……"

buzzing...

Soon, Assistant Chen drove to a place not far from Editor-in-Chief Zhang's home and began 24-hour surveillance of him.

Noon the next day!

Assistant Chen, accompanied by four or five people, suddenly appeared at Editor-in-Chief Zhang's home.

"You are……"

Editor-in-Chief Zhang only said one sentence before Assistant Chen punched him unconscious.

"Carry it away!"

Several people stepped forward and hurriedly lifted Editor-in-Chief Zhang into the car, which was then transported directly to the conference room and the adjacent lounge of Shenlong TV Factory.

A dozen minutes later, Editor-in-Chief Zhang woke up.

"You...I'm going to sue you...I'm going to sue you...This is kidnapping!"

He yelled at Liu Aiguo and his assistant Chen.

Liu Aiguo smiled and said, "Editor-in-Chief Zhang, you've misunderstood. This is Shenlong Television Factory. We've been looking for you for several days but couldn't find you, so we resorted to this method. Please don't take offense!"

"Of course, you can call the police when you leave, if you wish!"

Liu Aiguo pointed outside the door.

Editor-in-Chief Zhang immediately felt guilty.

I know perfectly well what I've done.

"Why...why did you call me here?" Editor-in-Chief Zhang asked Liu Aiguo.

Liu Aiguo said, "It's nothing... I just invited Editor-in-Chief Zhang over to take a look at our TV!"

At this point, Liu Aiguo took the opportunity to place a newspaper in front of Editor-in-Chief Zhang.

49 Newspaper

It was the same newspaper that reported the Shenlong TV spontaneously combusting incident.

Upon seeing this, Editor-in-Chief Zhang felt a chill run down his spine: Damn it... it seems we've offended them.

It's alright, I can just apologize to him in the newspaper later.

"Let's go... there are people you know over there!"

Liu Aiguo waved his hand, and Assistant Chen led Editor-in-Chief Zhang towards the conference room.
