Chapter Fifty-six Service Repair Point

  The two of them sat for a while, chatting casually. Huang Xiangyun got to the point: "Manager, I came this time to see if it's possible to pay less down payment, I want to buy two excavators."

  Manager Lin hesitated for a moment: "This won't do. Because it's a rule, no one can violate it, including me." Seeing Huang Xiangyun's very disappointed expression, he smiled and said: "However, if you're not afraid of used goods, there are five hook machines to be returned, which might make it much cheaper for you to get."

  Huang Xiangyun was overjoyed when he heard this and curiously asked: "Manager, tell me more about it. What's going on?"

  Manager Lin said: "There is a person, who took five excavators at once. However, this guy's excavator has been in his hands for more than two months, and there are problems with the business, so he can't continue to pay the remaining balance, and plans to sell it cheaply! He told me that as long as someone pays 180,000 per unit, he is willing to sell. Of course, the remaining money will still have to be paid by the buyer! However, this way, each excavator can save more than 200,000."

  "Manager, then he should be easy to get rid of!"

  Manager Lin shook his head: "A hook machine is not a car, anyone can spend money to buy it. If there's no way or if someone wants to operate this thing, even if it's cheap, they won't necessarily buy it. Moreover, not many people know about this news, and it just happened in the last few days. How about it? Are you interested?"

  "Manager, you tell him, I'll take a look at the machine. If there's no problem, I'll take them all down!"

  Manager Lin burst out laughing: "Great, it's only been a few days since he came back home and Xiao Huang already has such confidence. It's really 'after three days, one should look at him with new eyes'! I'll give you his contact information later, I reckon he'll be overjoyed when he hears this news."

  "Huang Xiangyun suddenly thought of a question: 'Manager, this machine is so cheap, why don't you keep it to sell?'"

  Manager Lin shook his head and said, "I only do sales, nothing else, and I don't have the energy to bother with it. In short, I won't buy his machine, haha... You're lucky that you caught up with this matter, seize the opportunity!"

  Huang Xiangyun said gratefully: "Don't worry, boss, I will!" Manager Han smiled and took a sip of tea, handing him a business card. He solemnly accepted it and put it away carefully.

  Manager Lin looked at Huang Xiangyun and asked him: "Little Huang, would you like to operate hook machine and shovel car accessories?"

  Huang Xiangyun's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily said: "Of course I've thought about it, but isn't that too expensive? Actually, I also want to set up a repair shop, specializing in repairing hook machines and other machinery."

  Manager Lin said: "That's just right. Little Huang, I plan to set up an after-sales service point in Songjiang City, the company will provide funding, spare parts and equipment, you handle personnel matters yourself. Then, as long as you can guarantee that when our mechanical products sold in Songjiang City and surrounding areas have problems, you can solve them in a timely manner, this is ok. For spare parts, you can float at a reasonable price above the price we specify, and this part of the profit and reasonable maintenance costs are your income! How about it, do you want to do it?"

  Huang Xiangyun felt that this was a pie falling from the sky. He thought it was unbelievable. Manager Lin saw through his thoughts and said, "Don't think this is a pie in the sky, we need to sign an agreement before giving you this business opportunity. If you don't do a good job with the service maintenance work there, and problems arise, there will be corresponding penalties. To be honest, this is a very profitable thing, but it's also a very challenging one! Are you confident in doing it?"

  Huang Xiangyun listened to him and came to his senses, no longer being so overjoyed. After thinking carefully, he seriously asked Manager Lin: "Manager, do we need something like a deposit or guarantee for this?"

  Manager Lin nodded and said, "This is natural, the guarantee is not much, 100,000! This guarantee is actually just a symbolic thing. The main thing is that the financial personnel are dispatched by the company, this is an unshakeable rule... You don't have to be too afraid, with your skills, bringing out a few good apprentices will be more than enough to handle this after-sales service and maintenance point... It's called after-sales service, but mainly it's just repairs. Some things, even if you want to do them at your place, can't be done, they must be brought back here."

  After taking a sip of tea, Manager Lin said to Huang Xiangyun who was deep in thought: "Right, and also, you can do business. The commission is the same as that of the company's sales staff! How about it, isn't this good?"

  Huang Xiangyun patted his thigh and said resolutely, "Manager, I'll take charge of this after-sales service repair point! Rest assured, I will definitely operate it well and won't let you down!"

  Manager Lin stood up, patted his shoulder and said: "Little Huang, I'm thinking of leaving this opportunity to you because I've always seen that you work diligently and responsibly. Also, I have to say, I'm afraid others won't do a good job, haha. This is a win-win situation, if you can do it well!"

  Huang Xiangyun was about to say a few more words of gratitude, when Manager Lin said: "Little Huang, I have to go out of town for a meeting soon, so I won't keep you any longer. The after-sales maintenance point's matters, we'll finalize them after the meeting... For now, you still need to take care of the repair services over there!"

  "Don't worry, manager, I will. You have a smooth journey, I'll leave first!" Huang Xiangyun stood up to bid farewell. Manager Han sent him to the door, and the two waved goodbye. Huang Xiangyun walked quickly away, humming a little tune, and Lin Manager smiled and closed the door.

  Huang Xiangyun walked out of the office building and took out the business card and mobile phone, dialing the number of the five-hook machine seller.

  It wasn't until he spoke with Huang Xiangyun over the phone that he learned the seller was not from the city, but rather a small county town 100 miles away. He wanted to see the machine, so he had to go there himself.

  Huang Xiangyun called Lin Xiaoying and told her that he had to leave Shenyang to take care of some things, asking her to be careful and to call He Dazhuang if anything came up.

  When He Dazhuang's phone was handed over to Lin Xiaoying, Huang Xiangyun had already boarded the long-distance bus heading to a small county town.

  After dozing off in the car, he woke up to find that they had already arrived at their destination. Huang Xiangyun got out of the station and took a taxi to the home of the brother who sold crochet hooks.

  This big brother's home is very impressive, with a large courtyard in the county town, a self-built villa, several small cars, and those five brand new excavators.
