Chapter 75 Big Spending, Connections

"Wearing night vision goggles?"

Li Hao looked in the direction the finger was pointing and saw a pair of infrared night vision devices placed on the counter.

He explained, "This binocular infrared night vision device is designed for outdoor night hunting. Although it can't compare to military-grade devices, it's still a very good product for civilian use."

As he spoke, he took the night vision goggles and handed them over.

Chen Huai'an took the night vision goggles and put them on his head. Seeing the clear image on the screen, which also had thermal infrared detection capabilities, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Equipping reconnaissance soldiers with this would definitely improve their nighttime reconnaissance capabilities.

Moreover, in terms of technological sophistication, it doesn't stand out in any particular area.

There were actually some with digital displays nearby, but that technology was too advanced and not suitable.

On the contrary, this one with only basic functions is just right for the current purchase.

Night vision devices were invented as early as 1934.

After continuous upgrades, by 1944 Germany had equipped its troops with this technology.

By 1960, the technology was more advanced and better suited for concealment, and it was very close to what is used today.

Therefore, sending night vision devices to the battlefield in 38 meant there was no need to worry about them being lost and obtained by the enemy.

Even if it eventually falls into the hands of the Americans, it will only accelerate the process by a few years and will not have any significant impact.

Chen Huai'an even considered whether he could take advantage of the ten-year generational gap to buy more supplies and send them to the Republic of China, then exchange them for resources with the Soviet Union and the United States.

Anyway, there are plenty of civilian-grade night vision devices online, so it's very easy to buy one.

Seeing the smile on the other party's face after trying it out, Li Hao assumed they were quite satisfied.

He tentatively asked, "Brother Chen, how about buying some to play with?"

"How much?"

"Retail price is 2100 yuan, but if Brother Chen wants them, I'll give you the wholesale price, 1800 yuan each!"

"Okay, I'll buy 300!"

"Alright, bro, leave your address. Just pay the 10% deposit today, and I'll deliver it to you tomorrow afternoon!"

Li Hao beamed with joy, his heart overflowing with happiness.

Although they offered significant discounts, the sheer volume of orders was overwhelming.

The profit from three hundred units is a considerable income.

However, he was also worried that the other party would just talk the talk but not actually buy anything.

So they offered a deposit, and that's how the deal was finalized.

Otherwise, if he calls his supplier today to deliver the goods, and the buyer defaults and refuses, he'll be stuck in a bind.

Even if you have a good relationship with the supplier, they will eventually return the items.

However, he will still have to bear the transportation and other expenses incurred during this period.

If you accept a deposit, even if the other party changes their mind and doesn't want it anymore, the resulting expenses can be deducted from the deposit, and you can even make a profit from the remaining amount.

Buying things from a reputable military surplus store like his is different from buying a car; you can pay a deposit and then get it back.

Li Hao is a principled person who values ​​rules above all else. Once a deposit is paid, it will not be refunded if the business is breached.

Similarly, if he breaches the contract, he has to pay compensation; that's the rule!

"No problem!" Chen Huai'an readily agreed.

While Li Hao went to get the account, she took out her phone and quickly entered the night vision device model for comparison.

He had worked as a sales representative before; he wasn't a naive newbie who could be easily fooled.

Agreeing readily is to save face for the other party, but you can't leave out any essential information.

Chen Huai'an found the official market price based on the brand search results.

After checking the model number, it was confirmed that it was the same as Lin Hao's retail price, so a discount of 300 yuan was given, which was considered a sincere price.

After all, Lin Hao had already hinted during the sales pitch that the night vision devices would be offered at a discount based on the wholesale price.

Chen Huai'an exited the night vision device's official website and transferred the deposit to the other party's account according to the account number.

Looking at the amount transferred, I felt like I was in a dream.

This wasn't company money; it was money from his personal account.

In his more than twenty years of life, this was the first time Chen Huai'an had ever transferred over a million yuan to someone!

One thousand Level 3 bulletproof vests and three hundred night vision goggles, totaling nearly ten million yuan.

At a 10% deposit, that's exactly one million.

Strictly speaking, this isn't actually his money.

Instead, it was funds that Lin Wan temporarily deposited in his account for purchasing supplies.

He did not have the right to misappropriate this money, but he could unilaterally decide to use it to purchase supplies when Lin Wan was not present.

This amount of money is just enough to purchase night vision goggles and bulletproof vests.

However, the goods cannot arrive all at once, so you only pay for the amount that arrives each time, and you don't have to worry about not having enough money.

Li Hao received a text message from the bank confirming the deposit had been received, and his anxiety finally subsided.

This is a huge deal worth ten million, the largest amount of business he's ever had since he opened his shop. How could he not be nervous?

Now that the deposit has been received, the deal is done.

"Please wait a moment, brother, I'll give you the receipt right away."

Li Hao strode to the counter, took out a receipt, and quickly began writing.

The receipt was just a regular one, the kind you can buy at a stationery store.

The details included the deposit received, the model and quantity of the goods to be delivered, and the delivery date.

Once the official seal of the military surplus store and his personal seal are affixed, the receipt becomes legally valid.

If he breaches the contract, he can sue in court with the stamped receipt.

Of course, if both parties complete the transaction as agreed, this receipt will never be seen by anyone.

After all, this receipt is a double-edged sword; it is both proof and evidence of their illegal activities.

It will not be presented to a third person unless absolutely necessary.

Chen Huai'an put away the receipt, his impression of the military surplus store owner improving considerably.

The boss is a nice guy; there are no hidden tricks or unfair practices, and he doesn't take advantage of acquaintances.

They are someone I could work with long-term.

Furthermore, since the two were illegally buying and selling large quantities of bulletproof vests in private, they essentially shared a secret.

To avoid trouble, Li Hao would keep quiet about his large-scale purchase of bulletproof vests.

There's no need to worry about outsiders knowing your secrets.

Moreover, he has extensive connections in the military supplies industry, so there will definitely be places where he can be of use in the future.

Thinking of Feng Chaoyang's introduction of this retired veteran, an idea immediately came to mind.

He offered Li a cigarette and said with a smile, "Brother Feng told me that Brother Li also likes antiques?"

Li Hao was collecting the company seals when he hurriedly reached out and took the cigarettes.

He took out a vintage kerosene lighter and lit it.

He nodded with a smile: "Haha, I do have that little hobby, and I've even paid quite a bit of tuition for it. This pen holder is one of the most eye-catching ones; it cost me almost 20,000 yuan back then!"

When Li Hao mentioned antiques, he seemed to have found common ground and was very happy.

He even picked up a ceramic pen holder from the cashier's counter, making no attempt to hide the fact that he had been tricked into buying a fake at a high price.

He then smiled and asked, "Brother Chen, you also have expertise in antiques?"

Chen Huai'an exhaled a puff of smoke and said arrogantly, "I have channels to get some top-notch goods. They're all auctioned through Brother Feng's group. Brother Li, you can come and join in if you're interested."

Li Hao's eyes widened: "You were the young man who sold the blue-and-white porcelain plates at Old Feng's shop a few days ago?!"
