Chapter 30: Chapter 32 Jiangshan Roasted Duck
Kang Youyi saw his expression and expressed surprise, "Hao, you don't even have a name thought out, do you?"
Qin Hao chuckled awkwardly, "Fatty, what do you think it should be called?"
The Fatty touched his head sheepishly, "Hao, I'm no good at naming either. The name Xinghui was given by a fortune-teller I consulted. How about I call him over to pick a name?"
Qin Hao was exasperated, "Rather than having someone else do it, I might as well come up with one myself."
After he said this, he began to ponder. In his opinion, the name should be simple and memorable, but it also needed its own charm.
After thinking for a few minutes, Qin Hao spoke up, "How about we call it Jiangshan Roasted Duck?"
Since the city he lived in was called Jiangshan City.
Kang Youyi's eyes lit up, "Hao, that's a great name. People from Jiangshan will definitely feel a connection and might even buy a roasted duck from us."
Qin Hao, "Cut the flattery, just get the billboard custom-made first, and then buy a few promotional signs. Write the words according to my requirements."
He definitely wouldn't disclose the secret recipe of the delicious roasted duck, but he could write down the general preparation methods.
Of course, he had to mention the benefits of eating the delicious roasted duck as well.
Made with eighty-one types of Chinese herbs, the delicious roasted duck was not only flavorful but also boasted benefits like strengthening the foundation, nourishing the vitality, balancing yin and yang, and enhancing immunity.
After hearing Hao's words, Kang Youyi looked at him admiringly, but he also had some concerns, "Hao, can we not oversell it? Otherwise, we might give ourselves away. Just write a dozen or so types of herbs, maybe skip the benefits, to avoid getting hit."
Qin Hao glared at him, "Can't be bothered to explain, just do as I say. I want it not just in the shop, but on every tricycle as well."
"Alright, Hao."
Qin Hao, "Is there enough money left?"
Kang Youyi replied, "The billboards will probably cost a few thousand. Subtracting that, we have a bit over six thousand left. We haven't received our permits yet, but if we grease some palms, they should be processed quickly."
Qin Hao, "Come with me to the second-hand car market later, we need to buy a used van for future deliveries."
A new Jinbei van costs around seventy thousand, and he only has a total of one hundred twenty thousand in his bank account.
He also had to purchase medicinal herbs and live ducks, which were also a significant expense.
Kang Youyi said with a smile, "Hao, I remember Li Bao has a friend in the second-hand car market. I'll give him a call; otherwise, if the two of us go alone, we're likely to get cheated."
After saying this, he called Li Bao, and once he hung up, Kang Youyi made another call to someone to arrange for the billboard.
Once everything was arranged, Kang Youyi locked the place and took a taxi with Qin Hao to the second-hand car market.
At the second-hand car market, they found Li Bao's friend, whose name was Liu Guangqiang.
When Liu Guangqiang saw Qin Hao and Kang Youyi, recalling Li Bao's description, he hurriedly came out to greet them, "This must be Hao, right? My name is Liu Guangqiang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Qin Hao nodded, "Let's go take a look at the cars."
"Sure thing, Hao."
Liu Guangqiang nodded, as he didn't have any cars on hand.
His job was similar to that of a broker within the second-hand car market. If someone wanted to buy a used car, he would guide them and then make a commission from the sale.
Liu Guangqiang led them to a relatively large dealership.
The owner of the dealership, seeing Liu Guangqiang bringing customers, smiled and asked, "Qiangzi, what kind of car are we looking at this time?"
Liu Guangqiang, "Mr. Li, I heard you got a Jinbei in yesterday, let's take a look at that."
Li Gaoshu said with a smile, "Sure thing."
A group of people walked towards the back of the car dealership, which led to a vast square filled with a myriad of cars of all brands and series.
Qin Hao was somewhat surprised to see this and wondered about Li Gaoshu's silhouette, With so many cars, how much money must this guy have?
Kang Youyi seemed to notice the astonishment in his eyes and whispered at his side, "Hao, all these cars are here for sale, he doesn't have the money to own them all."
With the fat man's words, Qin Hao felt relieved, as he had thought that Li Gaoshu had bought all those cars with his money.
Li Gaoshu led them to a Jinbei van that was seventy percent new.
He smiled as he introduced them to the vehicle, "This is a new arrival, all documents are in order, and it's hardly any different from a new one."
Liu Guangqiang looked at Qin Hao, who appeared quite satisfied with the exterior, as he himself did not understand the vehicle's internals.
Since Liu Guangqiang knew Li Bao, Qin Hao felt that he would probably not be cheated.
Seeing Qin Hao's nod, Liu Guangqiang then turned to Li Gaoshu, "Mr. Li, name your price, these are my friends."
Li Gaoshu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Qiangzi, I'll give you some face, how about forty thousand?"
Liu Guangqiang shook his head. With his years of experience in the second-hand car market and knowing Li Gaoshu well, he said, "Thirty thousand."
Li Gaoshu: "Qiangzi, are you serious? This car hasn't been repaired, and I have inspected its exterior which hasn't been renovated or repainted. If you were to buy it outside, it would cost at least over fifty thousand. Forty thousand is really just for your sake."
Liu Guangqiang laughed, "Mr. Li, we've known each other for so many years, we know each other well. I don't need a commission, how about thirty thousand?"
"Bro, you're cutting the price too much; I was hoping to make a bit of profit."
After a bout of bargaining, Li Gaoshu was finally persuaded by Liu Guangqiang, to settle at thirty thousand yuan.
Qin Hao and the others went to Li Gaoshu's office and made a direct online transfer.
After signing and collecting various documents, Qin Hao and the fat man walked over to the van. He then handed the car key to the fat man, "Let's go to the medicinal market."
The fat man looked bewildered, "Hao, I... I don't know how to drive."
"What? You don't know how to drive?"
The fat man nodded his head earnestly and carefully, afraid of angering Qin Hao.
Qin Hao really had to hand it to him; he had brought the fat man along intending for him to drive, only to find out he couldn't.
Neither of them had licenses, so how could they drive the car away?
Qin Hao remembered that he had a skill transfer card in his backpack, "Xiao Ying, can I use a skill to get the driving skill?"
Xiao Ying: "Of course."
"Then switch the ping pong skill to driving skill."
Qin Hao was indifferent to ping pong, seeing the skill as rather useless.
He watched as the ping pong skill disappeared from his attribute panel, replaced with driving skill, and his mind flooded with new information.
Grabbing the car keys, Qin Hao said, "Get in the car."
The fat man, astonished, asked, "Hao, you know how to drive?"
Qin Hao sat in the driver's seat and started the car proficiently, "I can drive, but I don't have a license. Remember to ask Li Bao to get me one later."
"That's a small matter, but how good is your driving?" The fat man was still somewhat worried.
After all, he knew Qin Hao had always been in school and therefore must have driven very little, which naturally did not inspire confidence in his driving skills.
