Chapter 73: 073

Yi Feng chuckled and patted Wang Tie's shoulder, "Wang Tie, remember, if you're a seller, mastering this technique is crucial."

"The principle of competitive buying is a powerful marketing tool, simple yet effective."

"It also gave rise to a business tactic known as scarcity marketing, releasing limited quantities to create an illusion of high demand, encouraging competitive purchasing behavior to maintain high sales prices and profit margins."

Wang Tie was stunned, "Wow, there's such a strategy?"

Yi Feng tapped on the table, seriously adding, "Actually, scarcity marketing is quite common now, many companies use it."

"Because it's simple, effective, and therefore, a commonly used strategy."

"Like McDonald's, they could increase production. Chicken processing only involves a few steps, yet they keep their quantities fixed, always in short supply, leading to two price increases within a year while still attracting a crowd."

"It relies on the unique advantage of their products, using the principle of competitive buying to make people eager to buy."

"If they opened up the supply, they might earn more daily, but when it comes to raising prices, customers would definitely be unhappy."

Yi Feng watched him ponder and smiled without interrupting.

Wang Tie was his most trusted friend and would be his right-hand man in the future.

Being naive now doesn't mean he'll stay naive.

Engaging in business tends to sharpen one's wits.

The young woman named Ah Xiang brought over two cups of tea.

"Please wait a moment, the boss will be back soon," Ah Xiang said with a light smile.

"Sure, we're not in a hurry," Yi Feng nodded.

After about fifteen minutes, Ning Feipeng returned, having changed his jacket and combed his hair, making it evident that he had groomed himself.

Yi Feng inwardly nodded, recognizing Ning Feipeng's understanding of business etiquette, indicating he wasn't just any small-time businessman.

Typical small business owners wouldn't pay attention to these details, only those with a certain social status and higher-level businessmen would.

Because stepping out meant representing his business.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, let's head out now," Ning Feipeng apologized.

"Not long, does Boss Ning drive, or shall we take a taxi together?"

"Being in the early stages of starting up, I can't afford a car," Yi Feng admitted openly.

Being genuine in front of such people could make them see you as more sincere.

Ning Feipeng laughed, "In that case, I'll drive."

"I believe Yi little brother will surely be able to afford several luxury cars in the future, changing them daily! Ha ha!"

He found this young man more interesting, genuine, and mature for his age, managing everything flawlessly.

Such a person is bound for success.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Boss Ning. Switching cars daily would be tiring, especially come maintenance time!" Yi Feng casually replied.

They chatted while walking to the elevator and down to the parking lot.

Yi Feng was surprised to find Ning Feipeng drove a BMW 5 Series e39, a luxury car starting at 600,000 yuan, potentially costing up to 800,000 yuan with high-end configurations and extras.

In their city, owning such a luxury car meant being among the wealthy, possibly a multimillionaire.

"Boss Ning really doesn't show off, huh? Not everyone can drive an e39," Yi Feng commented.

"You recognize this car?"

"It's imported, not many people in the country know about it," Ning Feipeng said in surprise.

"I read about it in magazines. BMW's latest pride, a luxury benchmark. Not many in the city can afford it," Yi Feng admired the car, praising it.

"Haha, little brother Yi, you flatter me. There are plenty of wealthy people in the city. I'm nothing special. I didn't buy this car; it was a gift from my father. I find it comfortable, so I've kept using it," Ning Feipeng explained as he unlocked the car and got in.

Yi Feng took the passenger seat, with Wang Tie in the back.

On the way, Yi Feng and Ning Feipeng engaged in wide-ranging discussions, from the internet to manufacturing, with Yi Feng leading the conversation, eliciting laughter with his witty remarks.

Occasionally, Ning Feipeng would give Yi Feng a deep look.

This young man was truly exceptional.

No matter the topic, Yi Feng could contribute insightful comments, displaying a deep, rational understanding of the future.

From the internet to manufacturing, he seemed to foresee the future!

Possessing such foresight and understanding of industries, he was bound for greatness.

More astonishing was learning that Yi Feng was only eighteen and about to take the college entrance exam.

A prodigy!

Such a genius young man exists?

Ning Feipeng listened to Yi Feng discuss the future of manufacturing in awe.

Approximately half an hour later, they arrived at the city center, turned into an alley, and stopped outside Yi Feng's shop.

"Boss Ning, this is my shop," Yi Feng said as he got out of the car, smiling.

Ning Feipeng was immediately captivated by the shop's decor.

To the left, a sleek, tech-inspired red maple leaf logo, and to the right, a straightforward introduction.

"Xifeng Electronics—Computer Repair Expert"

The shop's minimalist and stylish design instantly caught the eye.

"This shop is well decorated!" Ning Feipeng exclaimed, pleasantly surprised.

"Boss Ning, please come in. This is my turf; you can let loose," Yi Feng joked.

"Haha! Yi little brother, how could I dare?" Ning Feipeng strode into the shop.

Wang Tie hurried to open the glass door for them.

Entering the shop, Ning Feipeng was immediately stunned by what he saw.

"Perfect!"

"Incredible!"

The shop was small but fully equipped, with a clear division of functional areas, each decorated in a harmonious and unified style. The warm atmosphere created by downlights and LED strips was enveloped in simplicity and modern elegance, mesmerizing!

This was the art of design!

"Little brother Yi, did a master designer create this interior for you?" Ning Feipeng asked, amazed.

The more he observed the shop, the more excited he became.

"Actually, I designed it myself," Yi Feng replied calmly.

"What?! You designed it yourself?" Ning Feipeng stared at him, dumbfounded.

In disbelief, Ning Feipeng learned Yi Feng was not only a business prodigy but also skilled in interior design, capable of creating such a modern, technologically aesthetic shop.

Such design and aesthetic abilities were astonishing.

Seeing Ning Feipeng's shocked expression, Yi Feng couldn't help but smile, "Boss Ning, the computers you're interested in are over there, already neatly arranged."

Han Ping'an, hearing the voices, rushed out to greet them.

"Brother Feng!"

"Plug in the computers one by one, let Ning Boss check them," Yi Feng instructed.

"Got it!" Han Ping'an nodded, with Wang Tie helping out.

As Ning Feipeng regained his composure and took a deep breath, he exclaimed, "Yi little brother, you're a genius!"

"This is the best shop I've seen!"

"If you entered it in a contest, it would definitely win Best Design!"

Ning Feipeng didn't skimp on his praise.

Because the shop's design deserved it, and so did Yi Feng, the designer.

"Boss Ning, you're too kind. Please, this way," Yi Feng gestured, inviting him further in.

Ning Feipeng reached out, "Before we check the computers, there's something I need to discuss with you."

Yi Feng tensed, wondering if there was a catch.

"Boss Ning, please, what is it?" Yi Feng asked, maintaining composure.

Ning Feipeng, trying to appear more flattering, said, "Would you design a shop like this for me?"

Yi Feng was taken aback, thinking it was a serious issue.

Ning Feipeng, mistaking Yi Feng's surprise for reluctance, quickly added, "Don't worry, I'll pay you well for the design!"

Chapter 74: 074

Yi Feng stared at him, then smiled and said, "That's no problem, the design fee and such will be waived. Since Boss Ning treats me as a friend, we won't talk about design fees."

Designing a store was not difficult for Yi Feng; it was something he could finish in one night. He considered it a favor to Ning Feipeng, making future negotiations easier.

Ning Feipeng, surprised that Yi Feng waived the design fee, appreciated him even more.

This young man was capable!

"Haha, since that's the case, I'll leave this matter in the hands of Brother Yi," Ning Feipeng sincerely said.

"Boss Ning, please check the machine first," Yi Brother Fengstured invitingly.

Ning Feipeng nodded and began to inspect the machine.

Friendship aside, business is business, and Ning Feipeng didn't relax his inspection of the machines just because Yi Feng agreed to help design the store.

He turned on each machine, checked the parts information, tested the performance, then opened the case to examine the aging of the parts.

"The machines have been repaired, but the quality of the work is high, the parts are 80% new, and there are no issues with their use. These machines all meet the requirements; I approve of them!" Ning Feipeng said with a satisfied smile.

The condition of this batch of machines was better than expected. He noticed that although many parts showed signs of repair, the quality of the work was very high, with minimal marks, indicating the parts could likely be used for a few more years.

Overall, buying this batch of computers was a win for him. He was sure he could sell them, especially with a one-year warranty guarantee.

"Boss Ning has a unique eye," Yi Feng complimented.

Ning Feipeng chuckled and suddenly asked, "Brother Yi, you have skilled people under you. The repair level of these parts is so high, it must be the work of a master!"

Wang Tie laughed proudly at the side, "Boss Ning, the master you're talking about is none other than Brother Feng!"

Ning Feipeng's eyes widened in astonishment, looking at Yi Feng, "What? It was Brother Yi who fixed them?"

"You can fix computers?"

Yi Feng nodded and smiled, "If I couldn't, I wouldn't have opened this computer repair shop."

"Wow, I didn't expect you could fix computers, and your skills are so good!"

"A genius!" Ning Feipeng exclaimed in admiration.

The young man before him knew many things!

His future was boundless!

Ning Feipeng was even more determined to befriend Yi Feng.

Such a genius was like a dragon carp, transforming into a dragon at the first sign of wind and cloud, unstoppable!

"Boss Ning, you flatter me."

"Now, shall we sign the contract?"

"Business is business, and certain procedures must still be followed," Yi Feng said modestly.

"Alright, let's sign the contract now!" Ning Feipeng nodded.

Yi Feng presented the prepared contract for his review.

Ning Feipeng looked over the contract several times, raised no objections, and agreed to sign promptly.

The two signed the contract on the spot, stamped it with their seals, and exchanged copies.

"Brother Yi, it's been a pleasure working with you. I'll have someone transfer the money to you soon," Ning Feipeng extended his hand, smiling.

Yi Feng shook his hand and also smiled, "No rush, Boss Ning, whenever you have time."

"How about we have dinner together later?"

"I'll treat Boss Ning to Guangwei Tower, how does that sound?"

Eating together suited him, as he also wanted to strengthen his relationship with Yi Feng, so he said, "Sure, let's have a few drinks!"

Yi Feng turned back to Han Ping'an and Wang Tie, "You guys prepare the meal, come eat with us, and leave Nannan to help watch the store."

"Okay, Brother Feng!" Han Ping'an responded.

"Brother Feng, I'll go reserve a private room then," Wang Tie said smartly, then took out his phone to make a call.

Yi Feng had also bought him a second-hand phone for easier contact.

In the afternoon, they headed to Guangwei Tower for the meal.

Yi Feng and Ning Feipeng enjoyed their meal immensely.

Both were quite sincere people who got along well. After a few drinks, they became close friends, addressing each other as brothers.

Yi Feng didn't talk business or career at the dinner table, just focusing on building their relationship.

It was their first day of acquaintance, and sometimes it's better not to delve too deep into conversation.

What to discuss at what stage of a relationship, Yi Feng always had a good sense of measure.

Wang Tie accompanied them throughout, occasionally taking out a notebook to secretly jot down Yi Feng's conversational skills.

Han Ping'an ate silently, his expression somewhat restrained and nervous.

The meal lasted over two hours, and they continued drinking until six in the evening before happily parting ways.

Ning Feipeng called a friend to drive, wanting to give Yi Feng a lift back, but Yi Feng politely declined.

Sometimes, it's best to keep things moderate, building relationships step by step, not too hastily.

This was also a kind of push-and-pull tactic in business relationships.

After seeing off Ning Feipeng, Yi Feng, Wang Tie, and Han Ping'an returned to the shop.

Not long after returning, Yi Feng received a text message from the bank.

"[China Bank]Dear customer, your debit card account number 2213 has received an income of 90,000 yuan, with a balance of 135,500 yuan…"

Yi Feng was thrilled to see the account balance.

90,000 yuan had been deposited!

Ning Feipeng was indeed efficient!

He had earned quite a bit fixing computers at Zhao Xingyue's for over a month, but the shop renovation also cost over 50,000 yuan.

The furnishings were expensive for a reason, including genuine leather chairs, sofas, two whole slabs of Huali wood, flooring, ceiling, etc., all of high quality.

And a significant amount was spent on a variety of repair instruments.

Now with over 130,000 yuan in the account, there was enough to serve as startup capital for the shop.

Soon, he would need to stock up on computer parts and spend a significant amount on operations and promotions.

"Brother Feng, what's the good news? You look so happy," Wang Tie curiously leaned in and asked.

Yi Feng chuckled, "Old Ning's payment has arrived, a whole 90,000 yuan!"

"What? That's great!" Wang Tie jumped up excitedly.

A profit of 90,000 yuan!

This was the largest sum he had seen so far!

"Let's go buy some stuff to take back, and I'll also buy a gift for your mom, as a small token of my appreciation."

"Then we'll go to Zhao Xingyue's and finish today's work," Yi Feng said with a smile.

"Okay!"

The two went shopping at Tianhe City Mall, thinking of bringing gifts home.

Yi Feng bought two sets of clothes for his parents and some tobacco and liquor for Gu Muxi and the others.

By the time they went to Zhao Xingye's shop, it was already eight in the evening.

Yi Feng led the way into the shop, with Wang Tie carrying bags and bags of purchases behind him.

"Boss Zhao, how many machines do we need to fix today?" Yi Feng asked with a smile.

Zhao Xingye sat inside the showcase, not bothering to get up to greet them, and coldly said, "Oh, just one."
