Upon hearing Zhong Xiaoai's words, Gao Qilin immediately tried to comfort her, fearing that something unnecessary might happen.
"But……"
"There's no 'buts' anymore. You just need to rest now, and I'll take care of the rest."
After saying that, Gao Qilin took out his phone to check the surrounding situation.
After searching for a while, I finally found a place that sells watermelon-shaped mobile phones and immediately contacted the owner.
At this point, the other party thought Gao Qilin was there to buy a mobile phone, so they acted very enthusiastically and even sent a car to pick him up.
"What did you do? You actually made someone come to pick you up."
After seeing Gao Qilin's actions, Gao Qilan showed an incredulous expression, still thinking that Gao Qilin had someone here.
"He thought I was there to buy a phone, that's why he was so nice to me."
Faced with Gao Qilan's questioning, Gao Qilin explained the current situation.
Fortunately, they communicated entirely in Mandarin, which the other party couldn't understand at all. They also explained the benefits of the watermelon phone to them with smiles all the way.
Upon arrival, he immediately invited Gao Qilin and the others into the shop and introduced them one by one.
"We already knew a lot about these products; we're mainly here this time to find out about the source of the goods."
Chapter 621 Inquiry
Upon arriving at the location, Gao Qilin no longer concealed his purpose and directly stated the reason for his visit.
As soon as Gao Qilin said that, the other person's expression froze instantly, and they looked at Gao Qilin with a mixture of confusion and anger.
Gao Qilin understood how the other party felt about not buying after explaining so much, so he immediately took some money out of his pocket and put it in his hand.
Upon seeing the money, the other person's expression softened considerably. After confirming the money was real, he immediately put it in his pocket, afraid that Gao Qilin might ask him to leave later.
"You've taken the money, so you should answer my questions now, right? Where did you get these phones from? Tell me, I want some too—the Watermelon Phone."
When Gao Qilin asked the question, the other party remained silent, but instead placed his hand in front of him, indicating that the money was not quite enough.
"What do you mean? We already gave you a lot of money, and you still think it's not enough? We were just asking about something, is it really necessary for you to act like this?"
Upon seeing the other party's behavior, Gao Qilan immediately showed great dissatisfaction and questioned him.
Seeing this, Gao Qilin quickly pulled him aside, afraid that he would cause trouble.
"We're on someone else's turf now, so it's best to be careful with your words. How about this, you stay in the back for now, and I'll handle things here."
After saying that, Gao Qilin smiled apologetically and started communicating with the other party again, while also taking some money out of his pocket and putting it into the other party's hand.
Seeing Gao Qilin bring the money, the other party finally showed a satisfied expression. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"The source of these watermelon phones is their headquarters. As long as you contact the person in charge there, there shouldn't be any problems. However, let me warn you upfront that there are just too many people selling watermelon phones here. If you choose to open a store now, you will not only fail to make money, but you will also lose a lot."
At this point, the other party thought Gao Qilin was planning to develop his business here, so they kindly reminded him.
"Don't worry, I won't be developing my business in this area, so I won't encounter what you mentioned. Thank you for your guidance, but I still have a question: where is the headquarters of Watermelon Mobile? This is my first time here, and I'm not very familiar with the surrounding area."
Considering that Gao Qilin had given him money before, the other party did not hide anything from him in this situation and directly gave Gao Qilin the headquarters' phone number.
"This is the person in charge's phone number. You can contact him when you get there, and he will come to pick you up."
Upon seeing this, Gao Qilin immediately expressed his gratitude and left after chatting with the other party for a few minutes.
After walking a distance and turning back to find that the shop was no longer in sight, Gao Qilin finally felt relieved and couldn't help but complain:
"What's going on on your end? Why did you lose your temper again? We're abroad now. If you cause trouble, who will help us?"
"It's mainly because his behavior just now was so infuriating that I couldn't help myself... But don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again, absolutely not."
Faced with Gao Qilin's words, Gao Qilan lowered her head, looking just like a child who had done something wrong.
"Alright, no need to apologize. I know you have this temper. Just be more careful next time."
Seeing his expression, Gao Qilin didn't know what else to say, and then focused his attention on the road ahead.
· ·······Request flowers·· ········
Following the navigation, they soon arrived at the headquarters of Watermelon Mobile.
That was a corporate building even larger than Gao Qilin had imagined. Seeing it, he couldn't help but exclaim:
"What kind of company can build such a large building? When do you think our Qiangsheng Group will be able to build something of this scale?"
"As long as we can get through this period, our Qiangsheng Group will get better and better, so you don't need to worry about that. Now that we've arrived, let's not waste any more time. Quickly contact someone to come and pick us up."
......... ....... ...
At this moment, Gao Qilan was already showing signs of impatience, after all, he had been planning the watermelon phone for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Gao Qilin immediately took out his phone and contacted the other party.
"We're here to pick up some goods. We've noticed that your watermelon phones are selling well lately, so we'd like to try selling them too."
After the other party answered the phone, Gao Qilin immediately explained his purpose and appeared very sincere.
Seeing that Gao Qilin had come to pick up his phone, the other party's attitude became very friendly, and after learning where he was currently guarding, he immediately hung up the phone.
Within minutes, he appeared directly in front of Gao Qilin and invited him upstairs.
"You've probably seen the market price for watermelon phones. If we bring them to your area to sell, we're sure to get a good price. So how many phones are you planning to take this time?"
"We didn't bring much money this time. Do you think five million is enough?"
When questioned, Gao Qilin immediately took out all the money he had on him.
Chapter 622 Requires Signal Tower Support
"This……"
Upon seeing the money Gao Qilin produced, the other party appeared quite embarrassed and explained:
"Your money is enough to buy a few hundred Watermelon phones, but these phones require separate signal support. From what I understand, there aren't many places with Watermelon cell towers where you are. Are you sure you want to spend all your money on Watermelon phones? If no one uses them after you buy them, I don't offer returns or exchanges."
The other party was afraid that Gao Qilin would not be able to sell the products and would then blame everything on them, so they emphasized this point.
"What? Watermelons have their own dedicated signal towers? I've never heard anyone mention that before."
Gao Qilin was stunned when he heard what the other party said, because he knew that Liangqiong, where he was, would never build a signal tower specifically for watermelons.
"This may be a problem with your information access. After all, this is common sense, and people who frequently use Xigua phones should know this."
After hearing Gao Qilin say that, the other party realized that he had never used a watermelon phone before, and then acted superior.
"Let me think about it some more. What happened today was really beyond my expectations. Let me think it through before I say anything."
At this moment, Gao Qilin looked very troubled. After saying this, he left the place directly, not wanting to stay for another second.
After leaving, they immediately returned to the hotel and began discussing the issue.
"I think we should forget about the watermelon phone. With the little money we have, we'd lose a fortune if we used it all to build cell towers. I think you know that a cell tower costs several million to build."
From the beginning, Gao Qilin expressed his attitude, at which point he had given up all hope for the watermelon phone.
“A cell tower will indeed cost us a lot of money, but the profit margin of watermelon phones is also very high. If our watermelon phones sell well, then the cost of cell towers should be easily solved, and we can make a lot of money then.”
This was beyond Gao Qilan's expectations, but now that she had finally arrived, and Handong Province was a very good market, she did not want to give up, so she spoke her mind.
"You're taking too much risk. If we make it back, that's fine, but if we don't, we'll lose everything. I think you know our current situation; we're short of money right now. If we use all our money to gamble, what if we lose everything? Then Qiangsheng Group might never have a chance to recover."
Seeing that Gao Qilan still wanted to develop the market for watermelon mobile phones, Gao Qilin immediately explained the current situation, wanting him to recognize this point.
"But besides this path, do we have any other options? Now all the companies in Handong Province know about our situation. Look at those who are willing to cooperate with us; most of them treat us like the plague and try to avoid us as if they don't know what to do with us."
"This……"
Faced with Gao Qilan's words, Gao Qilin was at a loss for words. He was well aware of the situation in Handong Province; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken this risk with her.
"If we don't try now, we'll truly face certain death. But now that this has succeeded, it's a lifeline for us. We can use this money to revitalize the marine park..."
Gao Qilin confidently thought that this was the only way now, so he agreed directly.
"If that's the case, then we can only try the Xigua Mobile route now. Hopefully, it won't let us down. Alright, it's getting late, let's rest first. We'll go to headquarters again tomorrow morning to see if we can get the contract."
After saying this, Gao Qilin returned to his room to rest. He knew that he needed to be well-rested so that he would not make any mistakes in tomorrow's negotiations.
After a night's rest, he was in top form and, after dressing himself up, he followed Gao Qilan back to the headquarters building.
Because they arrived so early, the headquarters staff had not yet arrived, and the person who was responsible for receiving them yesterday had not yet started work.
The weather abroad is not as good as in China. Although it was only morning, the weather was already unbearably hot. However, in the face of this situation, Gao Qi 2.8 Lan wanted to go to another place to rest first.
"Why don't we go sit in the coffee shop next door? It's so hot, how long would we have to wait there?"
"What's the point of us getting up so early if not to see each other sooner and try to get a better spot? If we leave now, what's the point of all the effort we've put in today?"
Seeing that Gao Qilan wanted to leave, Gao Qilin immediately became serious and explained the current problem.
Faced with this explanation, Gao Qilan knew she couldn't say anything more.
Chapter 623 Decision to Act as Agent
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar figure finally appeared before them.
At this moment, Gao Qilin and his group seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and quickly stepped forward to surround him, explaining their purpose.
"It's not that I don't want to give you the right to wholesale, it's just that you don't even have cell towers over there. Even if you take these phones back, they won't be of any use. Why are you doing this?"
After hearing Gao Qilin's words, the other party explained the current situation again, stating that he did not want Gao Qilin to waste this opportunity.
