Fortune Falls From Sky

Upon seeing this message, Samuel harshly criticized the woman in his mind.

However, he could smell a business opportunity from this woman, so he suppressed his prejudice against her and said in a low voice, “Marissa, you came to the supermarket to buy some gifts, right?”

“You know me?” Marissa was surprised when he called her name.

“Of course I do. I saw you once when you were buying things last time.” He casually made up a pretense and said, “I happen to have some gifts here. If it’s convenient for you, we can talk about gifts and rebates.”

When Marissa heard the word “rebate”, her interest was instantly piqued. Every time she purchased something, she would always feel embarrassed to bring up rebates because there wasn’t much money involved. If he had a way of providing her with some lovely rebates, she would be more than willing.

She looked at the cafe at the side and said, “Let’s talk inside.”

Samuel had no objections. He entered the cafe and ordered two cups of coffee.

“What’s your purchase requirement this time?” Samuel asked first.

“Our steelworks will be setting up its 20th anniversary next week. We need to give every employee a gift. The budget is about 30 dollars per person. There are 935 people in total.” Marissa asked, “What gifts do you have here?”

“First of all, I’m Samuel Walker from Ruby Liquor Factory. The quality of our liquor is very high, and I’m currently promoting it in the entire city. If it’s 30 dollars per person, I happen to have liquor at this price range. It’s boxed, and it’s very worth it,” Samuel introduced.

“Liquor?” Marissa hesitated. She then shook her head and said, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. Drinking is prohibited in the factory. If we give out liquor, what will the higher management think? Furthermore, a box of liquor is so heavy, it’s not easy for the workers to carry it.”

Samuel pondered for a moment and said, “Then, you can purchase in bottles. One gift bag will contain two bottles of liquor. That way, it will be convenient to carry around. It’s great to give out liquor because the workers won’t drink them during working hours. Furthermore, the metaphorical meaning of liquor is wonderful. It means longevity and long-lasting business.”

After a pause, he said, “I can give you a fifteen percent rebate!”

Samuel’s authority was only ten percent, but it was different this time. He would increase the supply price a little, so even if he gave a higher rebate, the profit would still be slightly higher than the normal supply.

The reason why he spoke about rebates was that he could tell from the other party’s information that she was a greedy person.

Such a high percentage rebate was absolutely attractive to her.

Marissa’s breathing instantly became hurried.

This naturally didn’t escape Samuel’s eyes. Smiling, he added, “You don’t have to worry about others seeing you receiving rebates. Our liquor is already on sale in Carrefour. The other supermarkets will also start selling it soon. Everyone will know the price at a glance. The white wine I gave you will definitely make the workers feel that it’s worth 30 dollars.”

Marissa’s remaining worries disappeared at this moment.

“Have you brought the product? Can I take a look?” she asked.

Samuel took out four bottles of liquor from his bag and placed them on the table before he explained, “I only have these four bottles. This bottle is the most expensive, and the retail price of a single bottle in the supermarket is 8 dollars. This bottle has been stored for a year. Take a look at the liquor’s quality, isn’t it amazing?”

As he spoke, he poured a glass.

Although she didn’t know much about liquor, it didn’t irritate the nose and had a fragrant scent of alcohol. She couldn’t help but nod. “It’s not bad, but the workers definitely won’t think it’s worth 30 dollars.”

Samuel smiled and took out his phone. He found a photo and placed his phone on the table. “I’m planning to give you this one. I didn’t bring it with me this time. Let me give you a simple introduction. It’s 43 degrees, the bottle has been stored for four years, and its quality is three grades higher than this one. The gift bag is very exquisite as well. This liquor is definitely worth it.”

She looked at the photo he showed her. The packaging indeed looked exquisite, and the liquor in front of her was only a year old. The bottle of liquor in the photo was four years old, so the quality was definitely better.

“Will you give me a receipt? What’s the price?” she asked.

“Of course I will, we’re a regular liquor factory. If this liquor is sold in the supermarket, the retail price is 90 dollars per box. The purchase price for you is 70 dollars per box. Each box has six bottles and contains three gift bags. If you deduct the rebate, you’ll get a rebate of ten dollars per box. How many boxes can you purchase?” Samuel reported the price.

Marissa was very satisfied with this price and rebate. The purchase price was much lower than the retail price, and it was very difficult for others to realize that she had gotten a discount.

“Excluding the benefits given to the workers, the higher management will also be able to save more money. In that case, give me 180 boxes first.” Marissa gave a number and immediately became excited. With this calculation, her rebate this time would be more than 1,800 dollars. She would have the money to buy a branded bag.

“Alright, happy working together! Let’s sign the contract. Our factory will deliver it over to your company today,” Samuel said.

After signing the contract, they discussed the details of the delivery before leaving.

Although he didn’t sign a contract with Walmart, this was still considered a late compensation for the earlier loss.

It was close to noon. Samuel had his lunch before rushing to the liquor factory.

On the bus, he was casually scrolling through his phone when he saw a few unread messages on Whatsapp.

He opened his WhatsApp and saw that it was from Carrefour’s Jacob.
