Chapter 74: Chapter 52.1

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.

Before he knew it, more than two hours had passed, and he had inspected all 22 machines.

“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.”
