"Brother Dong… this batch is quite large, so I'll leave the distribution arrangements to you!" Xu Duo said with a gentle smile, her eyes full of trust as she pointed at the nine oversized boxes. Then she reported the figures, "There are over 57,000 screens, and about 30,000 batteries. We'll need to double-check the exact numbers."
"Oh, right. I got word from my contacts—said the next batch will be of better quality. All original parts from disassembled devices. Whether it's batteries or screens, they'll be about 90% new. If the supply stabilizes, they might stop dealing with the current quality altogether."
"The screens and batteries we've got now are about 85% new. If 90% new goods become available, they won't want to keep working with the 85% ones. Of course, the cost will probably go up a bit too," Xu Duo added, mindful of the newly upgraded system option for 90% refurbished grade. Higher quality naturally meant higher value.
"90% new, huh?"
He Dong was momentarily stunned, then showed a surprised expression. He had had many suspicions, but he never quite figured it out. "If the batteries are truly 90% new, with how greedy people in the market are, they'll definitely try to pass them off as brand new."
"The price will definitely have to go up. You used to give me the 85% new batteries at 135 yuan—how about 155 yuan for the 90% new ones? I'll distribute them at 160 yuan, and I don't think that'll be a problem," He Dong calculated mentally before giving his offer.
"No problem!" Xu Duo readily agreed. With the price raised by 20 yuan, these could easily be sold as new on the market. Even if they didn't fetch 200 yuan, 190 yuan would be no issue. With He Dong selling them at 160 yuan, he'd have a 30 yuan profit margin—quite substantial. "As for the screens, the market price's been fluctuating lately. Plus, this batch is 90% new—not like those slightly defective ones from before."
"90% new with no flower defects—that's premium stuff!"
He Dong hesitated for a moment, unsure what price to offer. "What do you think would be reasonable?"
"The market price has probably risen to around 1,600 yuan by now. Some greedy types might even push for 1,650. Here's what I suggest—I'll sell them to you at 1,500 yuan. Whether you resell them at 1,600 or 1,650, that's up to you," Xu Duo said, clearly prepared. "Battery prices are relatively stable, but screen prices are volatile. The sooner you sell, the better. If prices drop, it could get tricky."
"57,000 screens may sound like a lot, but once they hit the market, they'll be gone in less than half a day."
He Dong chuckled softly, showing no disagreement with the offer, indicating his acceptance. "No problem. As usual, payment will be made by ten o'clock tonight at the latest!"
"Heh… Brother Dong, if you're flush right now, could you lend me two million? I'm planning to rent a large warehouse and need the funds urgently," Xu Duo asked, tilting her head slightly, eyes full of hope.
"Two million? Don't even call it a loan. Consider it an advance on this batch—I'll head to the bank counter right away. The money will be in your account within two hours at most."
"Alright, Brother Dong, thank you so much!" Xu Duo said, beaming with gratitude.
"You silly girl… no need to be so polite. Oh right, let's have dinner tonight—just the two of us!"
"Hahaha… If there's food, no matter how busy I am, I'll make it!" Xu Duo laughed in response.
"You silly girl…"

After unloading the goods and settling the pricing for the next batch, this phase of work came to a temporary close.
Xu Duo hurried to the law firm, arriving right on time at 11 a.m.
Everything went smoothly. The lawyer had already drafted the preliminary agreement and collected the 300,000 yuan service fee. But just as they were about to sign, an unexpected issue came up.
"Miss… about the advance payment…"
"……" Xu Duo was briefly stunned before she understood what he meant. He thought the 3 million deposit wasn't secure enough. According to the agreement, the 3 million would be held in the law firm's account. If anything went wrong, the other party could withdraw the funds and cancel the deal.
"Sir, how about this—I'll first transfer 3 million directly to your account, and another 7 million to the law firm's account…"
Ding!
Just then, her phone chimed with a message.
Transaction complete for account ending in 411: +2,000,000. Current balance: …]
"How about I transfer the full 18 million to the law firm's account and we sign a separate agreement—if either party backs out, they pay 50% of the total amount as compensation."
Xu Duo had the cash and wanted to finalize the deal once and for all. "In other words, unless it's due to force majeure, the party who breaches the contract must pay the other party 9 million. Does that sound fair to you?"
"Fair, very fair!" The elderly man broke into a smile. He'd been uneasy for days—after all, the deal had been struck in a moment of impulse. Thinking about it later, he worried that Xu Duo was too young and things might go wrong. "Then let's trouble the lawyer to draft a supplementary agreement."
"No problem on my end!" Lawyer Zhang agreed with a smile. It was a small matter—law firms had plenty of contract templates; a few edits would suffice.
"Lawyer Zhang… if you can help expedite the transfer procedures, I'm willing to pay extra," Xu Duo seized the opportunity. She didn't want any delays. "There's less than half a month until the New Year, and things pile up at the relevant departments right before the holiday. If it drags, we might not get it done until after the break."
"One week… that's the fastest we can manage."
"If it's done within a week, I'll pay an extra 100,000 yuan," Xu Duo said generously.
