The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Chapter 488 Procurement of Advanced Equipment

The first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains. After washing up, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han went hand in hand to the dining room for breakfast. The table was laden with exquisite dishes, and the two chatted and ate in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

Suddenly, Chen Mengyao's phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw a message from her second brother, Chen Feiyang: "I've arranged for the artists to fly over to your area. They should arrive at your airport around noon today. Remember to pick them up." After reading the message, Chen Mengyao smiled and turned to Ouyang Han, saying, "Second brother is so reliable; he's already arranged everything." She quickly replied, "Okay, thank you, second brother! We'll definitely pick them up on time."

After quickly finishing breakfast, the two went to the lobby to rest for a while. Just then, Ouyang Han's phone rang, a bank notification of a deposit—over 30 billion! He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Mengyao excitedly: "Yaoyao, we made a killing last night! Those auction items actually fetched over 30 billion, and the money arrived in our account last night!" Chen Mengyao's eyes widened upon hearing this number: "Wow, so much money! It seems our plan was a great success. This money should be enough to buy those equipment."

Ouyang Han nodded and smiled confidently, "Of course, but we need to plan these funds carefully." He thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we go into the space now and ask Xiaobai to help us buy a few more space rings?" Chen Mengyao nodded in agreement, "Good idea, we have time now anyway."

So, the two entered the space hand in hand. As soon as they saw Xiaobai, Chen Mengyao went straight to the point: "Xiaobai, could you please buy ten more space rings for us?" Xiaobai smiled slightly and took out a payment code from his pocket, handing it to Ouyang Han: "Pay first, and the price this time will be the same as before."

Ouyang Han took the payment code, scanned it skillfully, and said, "The transfer has been completed." After confirming everything was correct, Xiao Bai got to work. Its fingers flew across the virtual interface, and soon ten brand-new spatial rings appeared in its hands. It handed the rings to Ouyang Han and said with a smile, "These are what you wanted. Check them; if everything is alright, you can leave."

Ouyang Han took the ring and examined it carefully. Finding everything normal, he thanked Xiaobai, saying, "Thank you, Xiaobai, you're always so efficient." Xiaobai waved her hand and said modestly, "You're welcome, it's what I should do. If you need anything in the future, just come to me anytime." After thanking each other again, the two left the space.

Back in the lobby, Chen Mengyao remembered another important matter. She took out her phone and dialed Xiao Li, who was in charge of training the technology team, and asked, "Xiao Li, hello, I'd like to ask where we can buy the instruments used for monitoring weather and earthquakes?"

Xiao Li on the other end of the phone quickly replied, "Oh, we usually contact several well-known research institutions in China directly to customize these kinds of equipment. Their product quality is guaranteed, and their after-sales service is also good. If you need specific addresses and contact information, I can send them to you."

Chen Mengyao quickly replied, "That's great! Please send over the relevant information as soon as possible. Ouyang Han and I will choose a suitable supplier based on the situation." Xiao Li agreed, and shortly after hanging up, Chen Mengyao indeed received a detailed list, including the addresses, contact numbers, and product quotations of multiple suppliers.

Looking at the list, Chen Mengyao said to Ouyang Han, "It seems we're going on a shopping trip soon." Ouyang Han nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, since we've decided, let's get going!" So, the two packed their bags and left home together, ready to start a busy and fulfilling day.

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han drove slowly towards the first research institution on their journey. When they arrived, the sunlight shone brightly on the modern building of the research institution.

A smiling and enthusiastic staff member was already waiting there. He greeted them warmly and led Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han into the spacious and bright exhibition hall. Inside, various meteorological and earthquake monitoring instruments were neatly displayed.

The staff member began to explain the functions and features of the instruments in detail. His explanation was vivid and thorough, as if revealing the secrets of these instruments to the two of them. Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han listened intently, their eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge. They occasionally asked some insightful questions, such as how the accuracy of the instruments was guaranteed, and their stability in complex environments. The staff member remained patient throughout, answering their questions one by one with his professional knowledge and rich experience.

After thorough research and careful comparison, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han showed great interest in several instruments. These instruments were not only powerful but also ingeniously designed, perfectly meeting their needs.

However, when it came to price, the two sides engaged in some discussion. Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han hoped to secure a more favorable price while ensuring the quality of the instrument. After all, this purchase was crucial for them, and every penny needed to be carefully calculated. The staff from the research institution, however, stated that the price issue required consultation with their superiors, and they would do their best to negotiate a reasonable price for them.

As they waited, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han grew slightly nervous. They knew that this procurement was crucial to the smooth progress of the entire project and could not afford the slightest mistake. Time ticked by, each second feeling exceptionally long.

Finally, the staff member returned with a smile, bringing exciting news. After negotiations with superiors, both parties reached a satisfactory price. This price satisfied Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han's requirements for cost-effectiveness while allowing the research institution to successfully complete the transaction while ensuring a certain profit margin.

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han finally completed their first purchase, letting out a sigh of relief as their weariness was instantly replaced by smiles of satisfaction. They carefully checked the list, ensuring that every carefully selected meteorological and earthquake monitoring device had been ordered, and that dozens of units of each model were available. To facilitate subsequent installation and debugging, they specifically instructed the staff to deliver all the equipment to their villa that afternoon. After making the payment, they diligently left their detailed address and contact number, then left the store with relaxed hearts, filled with anticipation for the smooth progress of their future plans.

Filled with a sense of accomplishment and confidence, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han embarked on their journey to the next supplier.

Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han drove towards their next supplier. Sunlight streamed through the car windows, reflecting the smiles on their faces. The successful purchase they had just made filled them with confidence for the tasks ahead. "This purchase went so smoothly!" Chen Mengyao exclaimed excitedly. "It seems our preparations paid off." "Yes," Ouyang Han agreed, "but this is just the beginning; we can't let our guard down with the next suppliers."

Soon, they arrived at the location of their second supplier. This was a reputable company in the industry, whose products covered multiple fields. The two men entered the showroom and were immediately drawn to the various advanced equipment before them. Rows of neatly arranged machines gleamed with technological brilliance, as if proclaiming their superior performance.

"Welcome! I'm the sales manager here. What products are you interested in?" A professional salesperson greeted them, enthusiastically introducing the performance and advantages of various products. "We are mainly interested in meteorological and seismic instruments," Chen Mengyao replied with a smile.

Afterwards, she and Ouyang Han listened attentively to the explanation, occasionally asking key questions, demonstrating their in-depth understanding and professionalism regarding the product. "How accurate is this device? Does it support remote monitoring?" Ouyang Han asked. "Absolutely no problem. Its error range can be controlled within 0.1%, and it's equipped with an advanced wireless transmission module," the sales manager patiently answered.

After understanding the basic product information, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han began a detailed examination of several key devices. They personally operated the devices to experience their performance and ease of use. "This interface design is good, very intuitive," Chen Mengyao commented while adjusting the screen parameters. "But I think the data processing speed here could be further optimized," Ouyang Han added. During this process, they discovered some unique features of the products and offered suggestions for improvement on some details. "Your feedback is very valuable; we will forward it to the R&D department for further refinement," the sales manager nodded in gratitude.

Following this, the two parties entered into price negotiations. Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han clearly expressed their price expectations, while also emphasizing the importance of product quality and after-sales service. "We hope to obtain the best configuration and service within our budget," Chen Mengyao stated firmly. "Rest assured, we will do our best to meet our customers' needs while ensuring product quality and service," the supplier responded.

After intense discussions and negotiations, both parties finally reached a preliminary agreement. However, before signing the contract, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han made an additional request. "We would like to visit your production workshop to ensure that the product manufacturing process meets our standards," Chen Mengyao explained. "Of course, we welcome such supervision," the supplier readily agreed to their request.

In the production workshop, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han saw the advanced production equipment and strict quality management processes, which gave them greater confidence in the product quality. "Seeing these processes truly puts my mind at ease," Ouyang Han remarked. "That's right, only by witnessing it firsthand can you completely trust it," Chen Mengyao nodded in agreement.

Back in the conference room, both parties formally signed the contract. Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han successfully completed their second purchase, their joy evident. "This collaboration was truly enjoyable, and I look forward to more opportunities in the future," Chen Mengyao said, shaking the sales manager's hand.

Immediately afterwards, they went to the next supplier. This supplier mainly provided some special materials that played a crucial role in the smooth progress of the project.

Upon arrival, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han received a warm welcome from the supplier. The supplier provided a detailed introduction to the properties and applications of various materials, giving them a deeper understanding of these materials. "This alloy material has very high strength, making it particularly suitable for structural components in high-strength environments," said a technician from the supplier. "That sounds great, but we need more data to verify its actual performance," Chen Mengyao responded cautiously.

During their material evaluation, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han discovered that one material's performance seemed even better than they had expected. "Look, the thermal conductivity of this material is incredibly high!" Ouyang Han exclaimed in surprise. "It's truly impressive; it remains stable even at high temperatures," Chen Mengyao added. They had in-depth discussions with the supplier and learned that this material has broad application prospects in certain specific fields.

However, the relatively high price of this material made them hesitate. "Although the performance is excellent, if the cost is too high, it might exceed the budget," Chen Mengyao said, frowning. "We can try to communicate with them to see if there are any other solutions," Ouyang Han suggested.

After careful consideration, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han decided to communicate further with the supplier, hoping to find a balance on the price. "We understand the value of this material, but we also need to consider the overall project budget," Chen Mengyao said sincerely. "That's alright, we can adjust the supply quantity according to your needs or offer installment payment options," the supplier said understandingly.

After some negotiation, both parties reached a mutually beneficial price agreement. Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han successfully procured this high-quality material. "We really struck gold this time!" Ouyang Han exclaimed happily. "Yes, sometimes unexpected gains are the most delightful," Chen Mengyao replied with a smile.

With each successful purchase, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han grew increasingly confident. They believed that as long as they persevered, they would definitely be able to successfully complete this procurement task.

The following morning, they continued their busy schedule, visiting various suppliers and searching for the most suitable products and materials. Each negotiation and each site visit provided them with valuable experience and strengthened their resolve to complete the task.

Finally, after a period of hard work, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han completed the procurement of all the meteorological and seismic instruments, as well as various materials and replacement parts. They required each supplier to deliver the goods to their villa because the total quantity they needed was quite large. "With so much stuff, transporting it all back ourselves would be exhausting," Ouyang Han joked. "Haha, that's why we need to learn to make good use of resources," Chen Mengyao replied with a smile.

Finally, they went to the building materials market and bought a lot of various materials for making cement and some finished products, also buying in large quantities. After some negotiation, they finally bought them at the most reasonable price, and after paying, they left the villa's address and their phone number so that they could arrange for delivery in the afternoon. "Finally, it's all settled. I feel so much lighter," Chen Mengyao said, stretching. "Yeah, now we just wait for the things to arrive, and then we can get some rest," Ouyang Han agreed.

By the time the purchasing task was completed, it was already close to noon. Chen Mengyao quickly tidied herself up and then hurriedly drove to the airport to welcome the artists who had come from afar.

Along the way, Chen Mengyao secretly planned to treat them to a sumptuous lunch later to express her gratitude for their hard work in coming here to support her. Not only that, she also planned to give them a detailed explanation of the children's rehearsals at the orphanage during the meal, so that these professional performers could better guide the children.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ouyang Han completely agreed with Chen Mengyao's arrangements. The two chatted and laughed all the way, discussing various topics, and time flew by without them realizing it. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the airport.
