Bai Yingxia opened her phone and checked the people she hired at home through the CCTV app. Seeing that they were working diligently, she closed the app and drove her car to the industrial stores area.
She still needed to order canned food, dried food, daily necessities, women’s hygiene products, clothes, and generators.
The location of the industrial store area was not far from the hypermart. Since it was a workday, there was no traffic jam at this hour. She arrived in 35 minutes and drove her car into the parking lot.
After she parked her car, she walked to the nearby stores and checked their goods. She didn’t know anything about this world, and the original soul had never come to this place. So, she had to check the stores with high ratings on the internet.
Using this as a guide, Bai Yingxia went to the stores selling solar-powered generators first. When she arrived, there was only a woman watching over the store.
Seeing her walk in, the woman perked up and greeted her with a smile. "Hello, pretty sister. What can I do for you?"
Bai Yingxia scanned the store and saw that the products displayed were mostly small products or generators that needed diesel or gasoline.
"Sister, I want to buy a solar-powered generator. Do you have it in your store?"
Hearing this, the sales assistant nodded and opened a booklet. As she showed it to her, she explained, "Pretty sister, our store has several types of solar-powered generators."
"There are portable generators suitable for camping. They come with a battery station and 200-watt to 800-watt solar panels. The small one is enough to run laptops, phones, and small fans. The bigger one is enough to run mini fridges, portable projectors, and small blenders."
"We also have mid-size generators. They are often used for RVs, vans, or heavy-duty off-grid recreation. They generally pair a 1,000 to 2,000-watt battery with 400 to 1,200 watts of solar panels. They can be used to run microwaves, portable air conditioners, TVs, and power tools."
"The last one is a large-grid or home solar generator. This one is usually installed at home to run major household appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, lights, and AC units."
After she explained everything, she asked with a smile, "Pretty sister, which one do you need?"
Bai Yingxia thought for a moment before she said, "I want 10 portable generators and 5 mid-size generators with the highest electricity output."
The sales assistant didn’t ask why she bought so much and nodded. She calculated the price and said, "Pretty sister, the total is 28,750 yuan."
Hearing this, Bai Yingxia nodded and scanned the QR code. With a beep, the transaction was complete.
The sales assistant was delighted to close a big deal. She handed the receipt to her and said, "I will inform the warehouse to prepare the goods. It might take 2 to 3 hours to be ready."
Bai Yingxia wrote down the hypermart’s address and asked, "Can you send them to this address?"
The sales assistant nodded. "We can, but they can only be delivered tomorrow morning at the earliest."
"No problem."
After leaving the store, Bai Yingxia went to another store that sold outdoor gear for camping, hiking, trekking, and rock climbing.
She entered the store and looked around before she walked to the counter. Unlike the previous store, this store had a lot of people browsing the goods.
She didn’t know if this store sold items in bulk and asked, "Hello, may I ask if this store sells the goods at wholesale prices?"
When the staff heard this, he thought for a moment before he said, "Good afternoon, Miss. We usually sell at retail prices. But if you want to buy the goods wholesale, I can help you ask the manager."
Bai Yingxia smiled and said, "Then, I have to trouble you, Sir."
The staff nodded and dialed a series of numbers. He talked in a hushed voice for a few minutes before he hung up the phone. He turned to her and said, "Miss, the Manager will arrive shortly. Please wait for a moment."
"Thank you," Bai Yingxia nodded.
She waited for 10 minutes before a man walked over. He was wearing semi-casual clothes and looked to be in his late twenties. When he saw her, he reached out and said, "Hello, I’m the manager, Chen Weilin."
Bai Yingxia shook hands with him and replied, "Hello, Manager Chen. My name is Bai Yingxia, the owner of Xingxing Hypermart. I plan to expand the scale of my products, so I wonder if it’s possible to buy your store’s products wholesale."
At first, Chen Weilin was skeptical, but after he heard her words, his doubts were lessened by half.
It was not the first time a hypermarket had bought its goods. With so many online shops nowadays, offline stores need to increase their product variety or offer more discounts to compete.
His smile became more genuine as he gestured to her. "Miss Bai, we can talk more about this in my office. This way, please."
Bai Yingxia nodded and followed him to the office located behind the store. The office was not big, but there were a total of 17 staff members, including Chen Weilin.
His so-called office was actually a bigger desk compared to the other staff’s desks, but it was still located in the same room as theirs. With so many people around, Bai Yingxia was not worried that he would do something to her.
After they took a seat, Chen Weilin asked, "Miss Bai, may I know what goods you want?"
"Manager Chen, I see that your store has good reviews and high ratings. So, I’m sure that all of your goods are high-quality."
"That’s for sure. Although we are a local brand, our quality could compete with the big brands’ products," Chen Weilin replied with a hint of pride.
