Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 50.1

Wang Tie scratched his head and grinned, “That’s because Brother Feng explained it well, I understood as soon as I heard it.”

“As long as you understand. Just watch from the side for now,” Yi Feng glanced inside the shop.

A young woman was leading a middle-aged man in a blue shirt and black dress pants towards them.

The man had a slicked-back hairstyle, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and sported a bit of a belly, giving off a somewhat prosperous look.

“Hello, hello, I am the owner of this shop, my surname is Ning, Ning Feipeng. How may I address you, young man?” Ning Feipeng approached Yi Feng, very warm in his greeting, and handed out his business card to both.

“Ning Boss, hello, I’m Yi Feng, and this is my buddy Wang Tie.”

Yi Feng also took out a business card and handed it to him.

Exchanging business cards is a preliminary step in business interactions, as it provides information about one’s name, phone number, company, and main business.

“Xifeng Electronics?” Ning Feipeng was taken aback, having been in the Dianke for over five years and not heard of this shop.

Seeing the address on the card, located in Tianhe Road, the center of Tianhe City, he suddenly realized.

“Little brother Yi is also in the same business? No wonder I heard Ah Xiang saying you wanted to sell a batch of 22 computers. Apart from large enterprises, probably only peers would do so,” Ning Feipeng said warmly.

“Sort of, our shop hasn’t opened yet. It will be a while before we start business.”

“Today’s visit to Dianke Building is mainly to sell a batch of used computers, so I came to take a look,” Yi Feng explained.

“Hehe, alright, Little brother Yi, let’s sit down and talk slowly, please,” Ning Feipeng invited courteously.

His gaze stayed on Yi Feng, curiosity flickering in his eyes.

This young man seemed to be around twenty, owning his shop at such a young age, and from his demeanor and speech, he appeared very mature, unlike the typical novice, which was somewhat surprising.

His eyes twinkled, and he chuckled, “Little brother Yi opening his own shop at such a young age is really commendable. Not many at your age are business owners, impressive.”

Yi Feng smiled modestly, “Boss Ning flatters me, just starting out, I don’t have much experience. I still have a lot to learn from you.”

“Boss Ning, here is the list of computer configurations, please have a look.”

Yi Feng handed over the list.

Ning Feipeng took the list, his estimation of Yi Feng rising.

The young man didn’t show any signs of being overly pleased by the praise, knowing how to hide his thoughts, intentions, and even emotions. Such a person, deep in schemes, is formidable!

“Mm, let me check the configurations.”

Ning Feipeng carefully reviewed the configurations of all 22 computers, noting that they were three to four years old and mostly configured for internet cafes.

Such machines weren’t expensive as new and offered good value for money, preferred by internet cafes to minimize costs.

“Little brother Yi, are these computers from internet cafe upgrades?” Ning Feipeng asked in surprise.

Yi Feng’s heart stirred, recognizing Ning Feipeng as an industry veteran from just the configurations.

“Indeed, these are from internet cafe upgrades, Ning Boss has sharp eyes,” Yi Feng acknowledged with a slight smile.

Ning Feipeng smiled, “Just familiar with the trade.”

“Looking at the list, these computers are indeed decent. If the price is right, they can be sold to individual customers. If there’s no issue with the machines, I’m willing to buy.”

“How does Little brother Yi plan to sell?”

As Ning Feipeng spoke, he squinted his eyes, intently watching Yi Feng, trying to catch any slight expression to gauge his bottom line.

Yi Feng remained expressionless, seemingly pondering.

“Hey, is this young man looking to sell computers?”

Suddenly, a loud voice came from the neighboring shop.

Turning around, Yi Feng saw a portly man in a suit hurrying over, smiling warmly at him.

“Hello there, I’m Xu Yongfa, the owner of the neighboring Yongfa Computer Shop. Here’s my business card.”

“Yi Feng.”

Yi Feng smiled slightly, standing up to accept the business card with both hands.

“Boss Xu, hello, I just visited your shop but found you weren’t there, so I came over here to sit.”

Yi Feng’s words left room for interpretation, signaling to Xu Yongfa that he and Ning Feipeng hadn’t finalized any deal.

Xu Yongfa, a shrewd man, noticed Yi Feng’s implication, his eyes flickering with cunning.

“Oh, my apologies. I just stepped out to the restroom. Our staff heard someone wanted to sell a batch of computers, so I hurried back.”

“What configurations are you selling, little brother? Let me have a look too!” Xu Yongfa said with a laugh.

Seeing Xu Yongfa, Ning Feipeng frowned, displeasure evident on his face.

“Boss Xu, that’s not very nice. Didn’t you see I was discussing business with Little brother Yi?”

“You barging into my shop and trying to undercut me in front of me?”

“Isn’t that a bit too much?”

His tone cooled towards the end.

Their shops were next to each other, offering identical services, and had frequently competed for customers.

Xu Yongfa, unabashed, scoffed, “Boss Ning, you haven’t closed the deal yet. How can you accuse me of undercutting?”

“Besides, it’s not certain who will secure this deal!”

Ning Feipeng’s expression darkened, but he restrained his anger, maintaining a neutral facade.

“Hehe, boss Xu, buying these 22 machines might be challenging for you,” Ning Feipeng said calmly, implying Xu Yongfa lacked the financial strength compared to him.

Yi Feng, experienced in business, immediately caught Ning Feipeng’s implication.

However, he welcomed another competitor, smiling, “If boss Xu is interested, why not join us and take a look at the list?”

“Ha! Let me see,” Xu Yongfa pulled up a chair, sitting down as if the place belonged to him, briefly scanning the list, “Old internet cafe computers, configurations are fine, still usable.”

“Little brother Yi, I’m quite interested in this batch. Are you thinking of selling them individually or as a package?”

Yi Feng glanced at Ning Feipeng and smiled, “Selling them individually would be too troublesome. I’m selling them as a package, 22 computers for 66,000.”

“And all machines come with a one-year warranty from our shop, including repair or replacement if there are any issues.”
