“In terms of price, how much does a top-tier configuration generally cost?” Chu Ning asked after thinking for a while.
“This is just like what I told you earlier. If it’s merely for daily use, 5,000 to 8,000 yuan will be enough to meet the requirements. As for the upper limit, if our shop assembles a computer for you according to the top-tier configuration, it will cost about 100,000 yuan. Any higher and we will have to dispatch it from other cities. Moreover, all this while, very few would choose a top-tier desktop computer. After all, the performance is excessive.”
After the young man finished speaking, he looked at Chu Ning nervously and expectantly.
Although he knew that it wasn’t realistic for the girl in front of him to want to assemble the best computer, what if she did?
“The matter of excessive performance shouldn’t be an issue. How about this, you can roughly calculate the time and then ship all the best computer accessories from the nearby cities to assemble a computer. I’ll give you 10,000 yuan for the assembly fee, and you don’t have to worry about the price of the assembled computer. I can accept it as long as it’s less than 1 million yuan.”
Chu Ning said with a smile. She felt that, with Second Brother’s ability, there shouldn’t be a situation where the computer’s performance would be excessive.
“Huh?” The young man’s jaw dropped as he stood rooted to the ground.
“What? You’re not doing business anymore?” Chu Ning said, holding back her laughter. She felt that the other party’s appearance was a little comical.
“No, Miss. Do you know what you’re saying?” The young man licked his lips, feeling that his mouth was parched.
“Even if I were to go nationwide, I wouldn’t be able to come up with accessories to assemble a computer worth around a million. It wouldn’t be so over the top even if all of them were imported. I don’t know your specific use for this. According to the price you mentioned, this type of supercomputer isn’t for personal usage.”
In that instant, he even wondered if Chu Ning would use such a computer to engage in illegal and criminal activities…
“Then I’m relieved. The higher the performance, the better. Don’t worry about assembling it. Money is not a problem.” Chu Ning nodded with satisfaction.
She did not waste any more time elaborating, but took out a special bank card and slapped it on the table.
What was special about Chu Ning’s bank card was that the owner’s current assets could not be less than ten million!
The young man was dumbfounded by Chu Ning’s extravagance. Of course, he did not think that it was fake.
Without any hesitation, he immediately contacted his colleagues who sold computers in the surrounding cities.
Chu Ning did not have to wait for long. At around six o’clock in the evening, with the collaboration of several shop assistants, the new computer that Chu Ning wanted to gift Chu Jing had been assembled.
“Alright, Miss. We have assembled the computer that you need. It is also the most expensive computer that I’ve had a hand in completing since I started working.”
The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel. He and his colleagues were also a little nervous during the assembly process.
They did not dare to slack off on such expensive items!
“Thank you for your hard work. How much is it?” Chu Ning saw that the assembly had been completed and inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.
“Including the assembly cost, it’s a total of 424,867 yuan. You can just pay us 424,000 yuan.”
The young man’s face was covered with a bright smile. The profit from assembling the computer was almost half of his usual takings from working for half a year!
“Okay, no problem.” Chu Ning knew that the computer shop would earn a profit from it, but as long as the quality was good enough, it would be fine.
“If there is a problem with the quality, what solution do you have?” Chu Ning asked.
“If there is any flaw in the hardware of this computer, we will compensate you in full.” The young man confidently made a guarantee.
After hearing this, Chu Ning could finally be at ease. The money spent was secondary, but if Chu Jing was not satisfied, the effect would be counterproductive.
Chu Ning readily paid the bill and then booked a taxi in advance. With the help of a few shop assistants, she placed the supercomputer into the trunk. When she returned to the Chu family’s neighborhood, it was already past seven o’clock in the evening.
After the taxi left, Chu Ning looked at the two large boxes before her. It would not be easy for her to bring them home alone. She took out her phone and called Chu Jing.
“Second Brother, I’m back, but I have a lot of things. Can you come to the entrance of the neighborhood and help me carry them?”
Chu Ning planned to tell Chu Jing what was inside after the items had been carried home.
Soon, Chu Ning saw her second brother walking over from afar. However, to her surprise, Chu Huan also followed him.
“Fourth Brother, you’re back?” Chu Ning asked in surprise.
