Sure enough, the other party didn't call again.
The next day, Wang Xiaoming received another call to order a banquet, and the other party said: "My dad has a birthday on the ninth day of the first month, and he wants to hold a banquet, twenty tables, and there are relatives at home who have come back from the United States, so he must be a little more generous, the price is not a problem, the ingredients must be purchased according to the standards I require, and if they can't be met, they can't give money." ” Wang Xiaoming asked him, "What kind of ingredients does Mr. need?"
He said: "I heard that the Buddha jumping over the wall in your store is very good, and the Buddha jumping over the wall must want it, in addition, I also want to import sea crabs, lobsters and salmon, all of which must be fresh, as for the price, you will mention it." ” Wang Xiaoming held the microphone and asked Yang Ming: "This person wants freshly imported sea crabs, lobsters and salmon, can we get them?"
Yang Ming frowned: "There is no here, at least you have to go to the city, or even go to the provincial capital to buy it." ” The provincial capital is not close to here, so you have to buy it at least two days in advance.
Wang Xiaoming said to the other party: "Sir, if you want to do it sincerely, we can meet and talk in detail, what do you think?"
"Okay."
Wang Xiaoming hung up the phone, went to the store with Yang Ming, and waited for the other party to come over.
The other party arrived soon, it was a young man in his twenties, after coming in, he didn't dislike the small size of his store, just discussed the menu, and while talking, he took his mobile phone and flipped through the web page, and opened his mouth to ask for something expensive when he saw something.
Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoming frowned when they heard this, they made a preliminary budget in their hearts, according to the requirements put forward by this person, a table can't be set up without 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and if you run 20 tables, that's 300,000 or 400,000, which is really extravagant.
Is this really here to book a banquet, or is it a joke?
The other party finally stopped, looked at the menu that Wang Xiaoming had written down, and stretched his neck to look at it: "How many are there?"
Wang Xiaoming said: "There are already more than ten imported seafood you mentioned. ” The other party nodded his fingers: "Yes, the domestic seafood is seriously polluted, and people are not at ease, so I will import it, and you can find a way to help me get it." ” Yang Ming said: "We can't do this, you better go elsewhere." ” The other party was taken aback: "Ah, aren't you called the Sea Overlord here, and you can't even hold such a seafood banquet?"
Yang Ming said: "If you have the channel, you can get it and I will help you do it, only charge the processing fee, otherwise you will follow my menu." ” The other party showed a dissatisfied look on his face, but still said: "Okay, if it's too much, then a little less, at least a few imported seafood, king crab, American lobster, Norwegian salmon, anyway, the standard per table, you can follow at least 10,000 yuan per table." ” Wang Xiaoming said: "Sir, our rule here is that you have to pay 20 percent of the advance fee for booking a banquet. ” The other party said: "The advance payment, that is, I have not eaten and pay the money first, it doesn't matter if I have more, but the contract must be written, if you can't meet my standards, or can't hold the banquet as scheduled, your store will pay me double the money, isn't it?"
Wang Xiaoming nodded: "Yes, that's the case, if you can't host the banquet as scheduled, compensation should be paid." ” "Alright, let's sign the contract.
It's written in black and white, so it's more reassuring.
The other party said.
Wang Xiaoming said: "When we prepare the menu, negotiate the price, and everything is finalized, we will sign the contract." ” "How long will that take?"
"If you want, it's the same to wait here, we'll negotiate the menu here."
Wang Xiaoming and Yang Ming went upstairs to discuss the menu and price, and Yang Ming said: "This person sounds as unreliable as the person who called you yesterday." ” Wang Xiaoming also nodded: "I also feel a little joking."
But if he has to pay a deposit, will he play any tricks?"
Yang Ming tapped the table with his finger: "He just mentioned the breach of contract."
It's impossible for us to break the contract, and what if he does."
"We don't have anything to lose."
Yang Ming smiled: "You think too simply, the cost of a banquet of 200,000 yuan will be at least more than 100,000, if we wait for everything to be prepared, all the ingredients are put into the pot and on the cutting board, if he doesn't come to eat, what will we do?"
Wang Xiaoming thought of this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, he didn't have tens of thousands of yuan in hand now, and it was actually a little reluctant to hold this person's banquet, and some things had to be paid on credit first, in case the other party didn't come to eat, who would sell these things to sell on the street "Discuss with him and charge a little more for the deposit," Wang Xiaoming asked.
Yang Ming shook his head: "More than twenty percent is unreasonable, and he may not agree." ” Wang Xiaoming frowned: "How can you joke about the wedding wine?"
Yang Ming said: "If you investigate it, you will know" Wang Xiaoming looked at Yang Ming and gave a thumbs up: "Yes." ” Then the two quickly negotiated the menu, according to the other party's requirements, selected a few imported seafood, and also set the price, the price of 10,000 and 800 per table, the man looked at the menu and price, and did not say much, and signed the contract and paid the deposit very happily.
Wang Xiaoming looked at the address copied from the other party's ID card: "Let's check it" Yang Ming said: "Let Boss Zhong help us investigate, he is more professional than us in this kind of thing."
We have to go and prepare the ingredients, he said it's the ninth day of the new year, and today is the sixth day of the new year, so it's too late to hurry up. ” "If it's a scam, we didn't prepare it in vain," Wang Xiaoming asked.
"Even if it's a scam, we have to be prepared, otherwise we have to pay him liquidated damages."
Yang Ming said.
Wang Xiaoming thought about it, but he didn't expect that there would be such a big risk in hosting a banquet.
He hurriedly called Zhong Yanhong and asked him to help, and Zhong Yanhong promised to help investigate.
Wang Xiaoming and Yang Ming first went to the local seafood market, wanting the other party to buy imported seafood through the purchase channel, and found that the other party did not do import business at all, so they had to go to the seafood market in the city the next day, and only booked king crab, lobster and salmon.
I just ordered the goods here, and Zhong Yanhong came with news from there, saying that there was no one in the family who signed the contract to celebrate his birthday, and no one did a happy event, so this matter was 100% a scam.
Wang Xiaoming said: "Then don't order the imported seafood here here" A few hundred yuan a pound of things, if you can't use them when you buy them, they are fresh goods, and that one is a lot of money.
Yang Ming said: "It doesn't matter, it's all ordered, I won't let these things go to waste." ”:
