Chapter 1354

Sure enough, the other party didn't call again. After arriving home, Wang Xiaoming called the other party. The other party said that the deposit was too expensive and they might not buy it from his house. Wang Xiaoming didn't give in. He thought this was unreliable and just a joke.

The next day, Wang Xiaoming received another call to order a banquet. The other party said: "My dad has his birthday on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. He wants to hold a banquet for twenty tables. I have relatives coming back from the United States. I want it to be more lavish. Price is not an issue. Ingredients must be purchased according to the standards I require. If they fail to meet the standards, no money will be given.”

Wang Xiaoming asked him: "What kind of ingredients does sir need?"

He said to Fang Fang: "I heard that the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall in your store is very good. I definitely want Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. In addition, I also want to import sea crabs, lobsters and salmon, all of which must be fresh. As for the price, it is up to you." .”

Wang Xiaoming held the microphone and asked Yang Ming: "This man wants freshly imported crabs, lobsters and salmon. Can we get them?"

Yang Ming frowned: "We don't have it here. You have to at least go to the city, or even 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 sincerely want to do it, we can meet and discuss it in detail. What do you think?"

"OK."

Wang Xiaoming hung up the phone and went to the store with Yang Ming, waiting for the other party to come over. The other party arrived quickly. He was a young man in his twenties. After he came in, he didn't dislike the small size of his store. He just discussed the menu. While talking, he browsed the web on his mobile phone and asked for anything expensive when he saw it. .

Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoming frowned when they heard this. They made a preliminary budget in their minds. According to this person's request, one table can't be purchased for less than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. For 20 tables, that's 30,000 to 400,000 yuan. It's really luxurious. of. Is this really a banquet order, or is it just a joke?

The other party finally stopped, looked at the menu 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 kinds of imported seafood you mentioned."

The other party nodded: "Yes, the domestic seafood is seriously polluted and makes people worried, so I have to import it. You can find a way to get it for me."

Yang Ming said: "We can't do this, you should go elsewhere."

The other party was surprised: "Huh? Isn't your place called Haibawang? Can't you even host such a seafood banquet?"

Yang Ming said: "If you have channels, you can get it and I will make it for you. I only charge a 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 make it less. At least a few imported seafood, king crab, American lobster, Norwegian salmon, anyway, the standard for each table, You just need to pay at least 10,000 yuan per table."

Wang Xiaoming said: "Sir, our rule here is that you need to pay a 20% down payment when booking a banquet."

The other party said: "The prepayment means I have to pay before I eat, right? You can pay it. It doesn't matter if it's more, but it must be written in the contract. If you can't meet my standards, or you can't hold the banquet as scheduled, Your store will pay me double the money, is that right?”

Wang Xiaoming nodded: "Yes, that's true. If the banquet cannot be hosted as scheduled, compensation should be paid."

"Okay, let's sign the contract. It's written in black and white, so we feel more at ease." The other party said.

Wang Xiaoming said: "We will sign the contract after we have drawn up the menu, negotiated the price, and everything is confirmed."

"How long will that take?"

"If you want, it's the same as waiting here. We need to discuss the menu here."

Wang Xiaoming and Yang Ming went upstairs to discuss the menu and prices. Yang Ming said, "This person sounds as unreliable as the person who called you yesterday."

Wang Xiaoming also nodded: "I also think it's a bit of a joke. But he has to pay a deposit, is he going to do any tricks?"

Yang Ming pointed at the table with his finger: "He just mentioned the breach of contract. It is impossible for us to breach the contract. What if he breaches the contract?"

"We don't lose anything."

Yang Ming smiled: "You are thinking too simply. A banquet worth two hundred thousand yuan will cost at least one hundred thousand yuan. If we wait until we have prepared everything and all the ingredients are put into the pot and put on the chopping board, if he doesn't come to eat ,what to do?"

When Wang Xiaoming thought of this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't have tens of thousands of dollars on hand right now. It was actually a bit reluctant to host this person's banquet. Some things had to be paid on credit first. In case the other party didn't come to eat, these Who do you sell things to? Selling portions on the street?

"Discuss with him whether we should charge more for the deposit?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

Yang Ming shook his head: "It's unreasonable to exceed 20%, and he may not agree."

Wang Xiaoming frowned: "How can you joke about hosting a wedding banquet?"

Yang Ming said: "Wouldn't it be clear if we investigate?"

Wang Xiaoming looked at Yang Ming and gave a thumbs up: "Yes."

Next, the two people quickly discussed the menu. According to the other party's request, they selected a few imported seafood and set the price. The price per table was 10,800. The man looked at the menu and the price and didn't know. No matter what he said, he signed the contract and paid the deposit very readily.

Wang Xiaoming looked at the address copied from the other party's ID card: "Shall we check?"

Yang Ming said: "Let Boss Zhong help us check. He is more professional than us in this kind of thing. We have to prepare the ingredients. He said it is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Today is already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. If we don't hurry up, it will be too late."

"If it's a scam, didn't we prepare it in vain?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

"Even if it's a scam, we have to make preparations, otherwise we have to pay him liquidated damages." Yang Ming said.

Wang Xiaoming thought about it, but he didn't expect that hosting a banquet would be such a big risk. He quickly called Zhong Yanhong and asked him for help. Zhong Yanhong promised to help with the investigation.

Wang Xiaoming and Yang Ming first went to the local seafood market, hoping to get the other party to buy imported seafood through purchase channels. They found that the other party did not do import business at all. As a last resort, they had to go to the city's seafood market again the next day. We only ordered king crab, but not lobster or salmon. We had to ask the seafood stall owner to help us order from the provincial capital.

We had just placed an order here, and news came from Zhong Yanhong, saying that no one in the family of the guy who signed the contract had a birthday or a happy event, so this was 100% a scam.

Wang Xiaoming said: "Then don't you order the imported seafood here?" If you don't use something that costs several hundred yuan per catty, and it's fresh, it's a lot of money.

Yang Ming said: "It doesn't matter, I've ordered them all. I won't let these things go to waste."
