Chapter 3: Mobile phones make money no
To be honest, it feels really good to be young.
Lin Xi walked downstairs and walked out of a small alley, and the crowded street outside appeared in front of him, to be honest, such a scene has basically been rarely seen in the past eight years.
Nowadays, people are basically dressed quite plainly, and the small town in Nanzhou is a bit remote, so the big girls and little girls all wear simple braids with double ponytails.
Of course, there is no shortage of many "family members" with colorful and green hair.
Turned around and walked into a small barber shop next to it, and the master of the barber was an old man.
Lin Xi shouted: "Uncle Liu, cut my hair......"
Uncle Liu turned his head and held a pair of scissors in his hand: "Yo! Lin boy...... Why did I come here to cut my hair? The two-handed guy on the other side will cut your hair......
"I don't have the skills!" Uncle Liu shook the hair clip on his hand and said.
"Hey..... Don't be so bells and whistles, just cut your hair shorter. ”
"Cut your hair short, I'll do it, sit down, wash my hair and I'll cut it again!" Uncle Liu greeted.
"Gotcha!" Lin Xi opened his mouth and said.
After more than ten minutes, looking at the short-haired, neat guy in the mirror, Lin Xi nodded with satisfaction: "It's good, that's it, clean and handsome! Uncle Liu, how much does it cost?"
Uncle Liu wiped his hands: "Three yuan!"
"Three yuan?" Lin Xi was stunned, handed over the five yuan in his hand, Uncle Liu finished looking for the money, beckoned and shouted: "Uncle Liu!
"Hey...... Good!" Uncle Liu agreed without looking back.
Feeling the dark green two dollars in his pocket, looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Xi thought for a while: "Let's go to the store first......
As the memory passed all the way, many relatives and friends who knew each other greeted each other along the way.
In this era when the mobile Internet has not yet fully emerged, the human touch is often much stronger.
At the corner of the road, there is a small roll-up door shop, which sells mobile phones.
It was their shop, Lin Xi walked in, Lin Ma saw him at a glance and looked at him: "Okay...... It's like a human being......"
Lin Xi smiled and walked over: "Na...... These two dollars will give you ......."
"Two bucks, can you take it...... I used it to buy something to eat...... "Mother Lin didn't look at him, and said as she looked at a yellowed notebook in her hand.
Lin Xi nodded and glanced at the store, as in his memory, the store was not big, only two rows of glass counters displayed more than two dozen mobile phones.
Simple cement plastering, there is nothing to say, only to say clean.
The counter is basically Nokia, Nietzsche, Sollove mobile phones, all button mobile phones.
"If I'm not mistaken...... '07 is the day when Apple launched the first generation of iPhone......"
"It's been on sale normally in more than June...... Lin Xi looked at the counter, which was basically a few button mobile phones.
Some Nokia classic models, 1110, 5100, but even if it is an ordinary button mobile phone in this era, the price is actually more than 2,000 yuan.
These classic Nokia phones from a few years ago can still be sold so expensive?
"It's so expensive! more than two thousand yuan, you can buy an Android quasi-flagship in your previous life, right?" Lin Xi frowned.
He didn't know much about the business of his family's mobile phone store before, but it didn't seem to be very good in his memory.
For a while, it took Dad Lin's work to barely make ends meet.
Lin Xi looked at the mobile phone on the counter and asked, "Mom...... Has the mobile phone business in the store been selling well lately?"
"Business?" Mama Lin glanced up at him and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, just ask, these mobile phones are sold so expensive, the business shouldn't be special, right......"
"How good can it be? I sold five Nokias last month, and now, mobile phones are not easy to sell......" Lin Ma shook her head and sighed.
Lin Xi frowned, looking at the mobile phone on the counter, basically, after Apple released the first generation of iPhone this year.
Basically, it means that the decline of button phones gradually began, and it is certain that these button phones will be withdrawn from the market in the future.
However, this process will continue for at least 10 years, and after the "pig on the tuyere" in Wuhan comes out, it will really poke the main artery.
It's '07, and there are still three years to go, and he was a senior programmer in his previous life.
Now back to 07 years, although instant messaging, e-commerce logistics have been Hangzhou Ma, Jingdong Liu and Shenzhen Ma are almost done.
However, now on the tip of the tail of this golden age of entrepreneurship, the market value of nearly 100 billion US dollars is fighting.
The kangaroos running all over the street and the "hungry" have not yet come out, and the "grocery store" of rice porridge and thunder is still in the mother's womb and I don't know what it will look like.
In other words, in this era, there are hundreds of billions of blue ocean opportunity markets everywhere!
Thinking of this, Lin Xi suddenly became a little excited, and his mind quickly thought about what he should do in the future, everyone has ambition.
But now the most important thing for him to do is the question of how to earn his first pot of gold!
Here, Lin Xi fell into thought.
Outside the door walked in two young men dressed as "family".
One had dyed green hair, a few yellow hairs sticking up to the sky, two pierced ears, a tight-fitting trousers, and long bangs in front of him covering one eye.
The man who was still blowing his hair at the corners of his mouth and looked hanging walked in with the same "family" little sister next to him.
"The owner...... Look at the phone......" The bangs man blew his hair, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and shouted hangingly.
Then he walked to the counter with the little girl next to him.
"Miss Walking on the Street Alone" ...... Choose the "love ......" of your life, forget about him, I will move bricks to support you!"
The man with bangs looked at the little sister next to him, lowered his head and tilted forty-five degrees, and said affectionately.
"Forgot Mr. Love...... I...... I don't deserve you this......" The long-haired girl said affectionately, tilting her head shyly.
"No...... Lady walking alone on the street...... It is an honor for my family to be able to make you happy......" The man with bangs said affectionately.
Don't forget to brush your hair......
Lin Xi on the side looked at the two people in front of him and felt extremely embarrassed inexplicably.
Aren't you embarrassed? Lin Xi really wants to ask......
Looking at the conversation between the two who saw the abnormality, he was a little speechless.
Mother Lin seemed to be used to seeing such a scene, so she stepped forward and asked directly, "Do you have a good mobile phone?"
The man with bangs looked at his little sister and asked, "Miss walking on the street alone...... Are you willing to make this phone the crystallization of our love?"
"Hmm......" the little sister nodded.
The two continued to chatter until half an hour later, when Lin Xi seemed to be able to feel that the whole store was filled with something called embarrassment.
The two finally ended the conversation, optimistic about a Nokia 1110, and Lin Malisuo registered their information.
Give a deposit and let it be taken after three days.
Watching the two nobles of the "Funeral Family" leave, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mother Lin's happy expression and asked.
"There are no machines in the store, do you still have to go to the supplier to order the machine?"
"Then what do you think? Isn't this how mobile phones are sold now? What a fuss, it's not like I haven't seen it before. ”
Mother Lin glanced at him.
"I didn't expect that...... Now this Nanzhou sells mobile phones, and it's still like this, book it in the store, and then go to the supplier to get the goods......"
Lin Xi frowned, looked at Mother Lin and asked.
"Mom...... How much money can we make from a phone that we just sold there?"
Mother Lin glanced at him, looked at the lack of people around, and said slightly, "Why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, just ask curiously......" Lin Xi leaned over and asked slightly.
Mother Lin looked at him and stretched out her hand to compare the numbers.
"Seven hundred??can we earn so many rebates with a mobile phone?" Lin Xi looked at the movements of Lin Ma's hand and was taken aback.
Mother Lin glared at him: "Say what loudly! Not afraid of being heard by others?"
Lin Xi hurriedly stopped his voice, looked at Lin Ma, and said solemnly.
"Mom...... I have a way to sell dozens of phones a month in our store, believe it or not?"
Mother Lin glanced at him and said decisively: "Don't believe it!"
Lin Xi hurriedly waved his hand: "You listen to me first, after saying it, can you think about it again?"
Mother Lin looked at him: "What can you do...... The most important thing for you now is to be admitted to Nanzhou University, and you will have to take the college entrance examination next year......" Lin Ma said in a deep voice.
Lin Xi nodded: "I naturally know this......"
"However, it's naturally good that the family can make money, right......"
"Tell me about it...... When I'm done, I'm going to post an advertisement!" Mama Lin looked at him and said lightly.
Lin Xi thought for a while, organized the language, and said, "That's ...... We don't have any ready-made mobile phones in the store now. ”
"If someone wants to come up and buy a mobile phone, they have to go back and wait for a few days after everything has been done, you say it's not troublesome......
"If we can directly order a batch of machines in the store, others don't need to make a reservation when they come to buy a mobile phone, and they can get it directly. ”
"It's not that much trouble...... Do you think this means that our store is much better than other stores?"
"Moreover, I think that if we can get a lot of goods from the suppliers, I think it should be possible to reduce the price!"
"At that time, we can make a little less money and sell our phones at a lower price!
Lin Xi said simply and looked at Mother Lin.
After listening with an expressionless face, Mother Lin looked at him and asked, "Finished?"
As soon as Lin Xi saw his mother's expression, he knew that Lin's mother must not have listened......
"Gotta ...... Never mind...... I'd better go post a little ad......"
