The Great Tang Dynasty's Trans-Dimensional Conference: Little Rhinoceros Arrives

"What? You want to order five hundred units!" The staff at the DJI store were completely stunned when they heard the number Lin Fan mentioned. "Sir, are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless, but he also knew that the number was indeed a bit frightening. After all, apart from certain specific companies, what private buyer would buy so many drones for no reason?

Thinking of this, he immediately explained, "Yes, you heard me right, five hundred units. But I just don't know how long it will take you to prepare the goods?"

After the words were spoken, the staff member on the other end of the line fell into a brief silence. "Sir, the quantity you ordered is indeed quite large. I'll have to ask the manager first. Would you mind calling you back later?"

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Less than five minutes after ending the call, Lin Fan's phone rang. He glanced at it and pressed the answer button.

"Feed".

"Hello sir, I'm the Southwest Region Manager for DJI. Are you sure you want to order 500 drones?"

The manager on the other end of the phone was completely flustered. This was an order worth tens of millions of dollars. Even if he didn't take the order, his bonus this year would still be substantial if he could close the deal.

"Yes, that's right." Lin Fan's tone remained unchanged. "Of course, this is just the first batch; we may order more later depending on the situation."

"More!"

Lin Fan instinctively moved the phone receiver away from his ear. The manager, realizing his lapse in composure, immediately apologized to Lin Fan.

"Excuse me, sir, I got a little too excited just now. How about this, could you please give me an address so I can come and talk to you in person?"

Lin Fan thought to himself, this isn't some small business worth hundreds of thousands or millions, so it's definitely necessary to discuss it face-to-face. "Okay, here's what we'll do: just navigate to Minglou Xinyue Tea House, and call me when you get there."

"Okay, is now a convenient time for you? If so, I'll come over right now."

"convenient."

..........

Half an hour later, Lin Fan, having received the message, took the two little princesses out.

He originally wanted the two little ones to stay at home, but they wouldn't listen and insisted on coming with him, so in the end he had no choice but to take the two little princesses with him.

Lin Fan led the two little princesses to the downstairs of the tea house. Two men in suits were talking quietly at the door. They noticed Lin Fan, but didn't pay any attention to him. After all, who would bring two children when doing business?

When Lin Fan dialed the number again and saw the caller ID, the older man immediately answered and then saw Lin Fan waving at them.

.......

"Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to look so young. If I didn't know better, I would probably think you were a college student."

In the private room of the tea house, the manager did not get straight to the point, but chatted with Lin Fan in a very polite manner.

"Brother Lin Fan, what's your major in college?" the little princess asked curiously, looking up.

Lin Fan was at a loss. He didn't know how to explain the problem for a moment, so he could only vaguely say, "Be good, Si Zi, I'll explain it to you when we get back."

"Oh~" The little princess nodded obediently and did not ask any further questions.

"Are these two your younger sisters? They're so cute. The Lin family's good looks are truly enviable," the manager said with a smile.

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, offering no further explanation. Instead, he cut to the chase, asking, "Manager Li, how long do you estimate you'll need to prepare for these 500 units?"

Seeing that Lin Fan asked so directly, Manager Li immediately sat up straight and said in a very serious manner:

"Mr. Lin, to be honest, our supply in this area is indeed insufficient. This time, we can only provide you with a maximum of about two hundred units. The remaining three hundred units will take about a week to deliver to you."

After saying that, perhaps worried that Lin Fan might not be satisfied with the time he had given him, he immediately continued:

"If you think it's taking too long, I can..."

"No need." Lin Fan waved his hand before Manager Li could finish speaking. "Just give me whatever you have now. I'm not in a hurry for the rest."

Upon hearing this, Manager Li and his sales team were overjoyed. "No problem, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will arrange it for you as soon as possible."

"Okay, but I don't know about the price?" Lin Fan had already told them beforehand which model he wanted, the same one he had bought for Li Tai before.

Upon hearing this, Manager Li waved his hand dismissively, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, the price I'm offering is definitely different from the price sold individually in the store. How about this, I'll make the decision to give you a discount of one thousand per unit. What do you think?"

A thousand? Lin Fan didn't know much about the cost of drones, but he wanted to get a discount, so he pretended to be a little hesitant:

"Manager Li, is this the lowest price? You know, I'll definitely be placing more orders, so if the price is too high..."

Lin Fan's meaning was clear: although DJI drones currently have the best reputation on the market, they are not the only drone manufacturers. If all else fails, Lin Fan can contact other companies.

Having worked in sales for so many years, Manager Li naturally understood Lin Fan's underlying meaning. After a moment of contemplation, he gritted his teeth and held up two fingers.

"Mr. Lin, here's what I'll do: I'll give you a discount of two thousand per unit. This price is definitely very reasonable."

Lin Fan looked directly into Manager Li's eyes upon hearing this, but after a long while, he still couldn't discern anything. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked:

"I think two thousand is still a bit low. How about three thousand per unit?"

"Three thousand cheaper per unit?" Upon hearing this price, Manager Li's eyes widened instantly.

He thought to himself, Lin Fan looks harmless on the surface, but he's really cunning! The net profit of each of their company's drones is only about three thousand five hundred at most.

"Could this kid be someone sent by a competitor to cause trouble?" This thought suddenly flashed through Manager Li's mind.

Lin Fan had no idea that his casual remark would cause the manager to imagine so many things. Seeing the manager staring at him blankly, Lin Fan thought that his asking price was too outrageous, so he decided to back down a little.

"Manager Li, how about this? We're all in a tough spot, so let's compromise. You give me a discount of 2,500 per unit, and we can sign the contract right now."

Although he didn't know why Lin Fan suddenly chose to concede, the price relieved him.

At a price of 2,500, we can still make a profit of at least 1,000 yuan per unit. Moreover, judging from Lin Fan's tone, he will place more orders later. "Okay, 2,500 it is. Xiao Liu, go and print the contract!" For the sake of Lin Fan, a big client, Manager Li gritted his teeth and agreed.
