Chapter 5: Making Money

Walking all the way home, Mama Lin has always stayed in the store at noon and did not come back to eat.

opened the door and sat on the table next to him, Dad Lin, who was washing the lotus root with his hands, looked back at him: "Yay...... It's a lot of spirit......"

"Just got back from your mom?"

"Hmm...... Go out and post a small advertisement......" Lin Xi looked at Dad Lin and said, he is in his forties, and Dad Lin doesn't look haggard.

"I left noodles in the pot, I went to add them to eat, and I will go out later. ”

Lin Xi nodded: "Is it Uncle Zhang's matter?"

"Hmm...... Uncle Zhang has a batch of mp3s, and I'm going to get them over and sell them to see them. ”

"mp3?" Lin Xi recalled, vaguely remembering that there used to be a sale of mp3 at home, but it was a little long ago, and I can't remember it.

"What mp3?" asked Lin Xi.

"What else can mp3 be, listen to the song......" Dad Lin didn't look at him, and said to himself.

"Na...... It's this mp3, take a look at it with the eyes of you young people, will you young people like it!" Dad Lin took out a small object from his pocket and handed it to him.

Lin Xi took it and took a look: "Kodak?" frowned and thought for a while, Kodak's brand mp3 seemed to have an impression.

The MP3 design level of this year is nothing, a standard long white machine, a blue and white display, and a few buttons.

If you insert a TF card, the workmanship is okay.

"The thing looks okay, it's not very good-looking, how much is this thing?" Lin Xi asked.

"60 pieces...... It's cheap, I look pretty good, and I want to try it. Dad Lin said.

"How much will it sell then?"

"90 yuan, the market is almost at this price now. ”

"90?" Lin Xi frowned, looking at the mp3 in his hand, the cost price of this thing is not 20 yuan.

Selling for 90, one comes and two net profits, Lin Xi naturally knows that in the era when online e-commerce has not yet embraced society.

It's not surprising that the inside of a brick-and-mortar store is much deeper than you think.

"Other shops sell this at the same price?"

"yes! what's wrong?" Dad Lin looked at him suspiciously.

Lin Xisi, looking at the mp3 in his hand, this thing seems to have room to operate, selling electronic products, and earning the first pot of gold does not seem to be difficult to operate.

But now I don't have any money in hand: "Dad...... Do you think we sell it for 90 at a price of 90 compared to other MP3 sellers?"

"What do you mean?" Dad Lin frowned and thought for a while: "Then let's reduce the price and sell it, and reduce the price by seven yuan and ten yuan?"

"Dad, do you know what bundling is?" asked Lin Xi.

"Bundle enjoyment, what bondage, what does it mean, just say it......" Dad Lin looked at him and said.

"So, Dad, let me ask you, if we can sell a large amount of mp3, can we lower the price on Uncle Zhang's side?"

"A large amount, it should be possible, after all, they are all regular customers. Dad Lin frowned and thought about it.

"Well, how much is an ordinary, better-quality headset on the market now than Uncle Zhang?"

"Headphones, eight or nine pieces, ......"

"How much is the 128 memory card and the matching battery and charger?"

"These ...... That's about 30 bucks. Why are you asking this?" Dad Lin became more and more confused.

Lin Xi thought for a while and said: "Dad, if we say that our MP3 can only be sold for 70 yuan, other things are sold separately, 30 headphones, 30 memory cards, 30 other things, and 120 MP3 alone." ”

"But let's say, we bundle mp3s and sell them together with all these other things. ”

"It's not allowed to be sold separately, so many things are sold together, it becomes a gift package to give back to the public, we only sell 100 yuan, you say, will our things explode?" Lin Xi asked.

"Only sell for a hundred yuan?" Dad Lin listened to him quietly, and the movements in his hands stopped.

His brows were furrowed, thinking about Lin Xi's words.

Lin Xi was not in a hurry, just watched from the side.

After a while, Dad Lin nodded secretly, looked at his son, and felt more and more that his idea was very interesting.

"How do you know about this bundle you said?" Dad Lin asked suspiciously, no one has done this thing that Lin Xi said yet.

However, this idea, he secretly felt that it was very interesting.

Lin Xi smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter about this, as long as this is useful, and you can't buy too many ...... at the beginning."

"Get a way to buy it, only sell a hundred at the beginning, and then slowly increase it later, no matter how much stock is stocked for the first time, we can't sell too much. ”

"Let's do it again in two or three days!" Lin Xi continued, telling Lin Dad the concept of "hunger marketing" as well.

Dad Lin listened to his son's eloquent conversation, and became more and more surprised in his heart, what "bundling sales" and "hunger marketing" these things had never heard of before.

After a long silence, Dad Lin looked at Lin Xi and asked in a deep voice, "You kid used to cover his head because his hair was too long......

"Why did so many things pop up today?"

Lin Xi smiled: "Just say if it's useful." ”

Dad Lin nodded and said in a deep voice, "It feels very useful...... Later, I'll go talk to your mother, and then talk to your Uncle Zhang when the negotiation is done. ”

Lin Xi nodded: "Okay." ”

"Still, Dad, I have one more thing. Lin Xi thought about it and said.

"What's the matter?"

"Give me three hundred yuan...... Lin Xi looked at Lin's father, spread his hands, and said, there is no way, there is really nothing to make money in one step now.

The poor jingle sounds, and there is no way to reach out to their parents.

"Three hundred yuan?" Dad Lin frowned, this year, three hundred yuan is still a lot of money for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child.

"What do you want money for?"

"Use it......" Lin Xi shrugged.

"Three hundred?" Dad Lin thought about it, looked at his son, and looked at the eyes on his immature face with inexplicable calmness.

After thinking about it, he still took out three from his pocket and handed them to him: "Don't use it indiscriminately, but don't let me know that you are playing games with money." Dad Lin warned.

Lin Xi took it and waved his hand: "Don't worry, naturally not, I won't play games in the future." "Just kidding, if you don't make a lot of money, who is going to play games?

After taking the money and eating, Dad Lin went out to talk about his mp3.

Lin Xi sat in his room, looked at the three hundred yuan in his hand and sighed: "There's no way...... The money is still too little to afford a second-hand computer......"

Although the state is currently vigorously supporting the Internet, the basic terminal of the Internet and computers are still thousands of things at every turn.

Not to mention smartphones, 3G has not yet been laid, and the three operators of Ashin, UAE, and Ayi are still fighting.

Computers are not at all a "high-end item" that he can afford at the moment: "It seems that he can only develop his own things in Internet cafes these days." ”

"At present, I have more than 300 yuan in my hand...... What's the use?" Lin Xi frowned, having no clue for the time being.

In the afternoon, with Kangyi, the big business of "disc burning" should be more or less tried, although it is not a big business, and the difficulty of operation is not high.

It's not a technically difficult thing to burn a disc, but you can still make a profit for that little money.

Busy afternoon.

Kang Yi looked at the few CDs in his hand and was a little excited: "Brother Lin, now we can sell these discs, right?"

Lin Xi took a look, and one of the three CDs was the famous album song and music video of the world's top band "Queen", as well as several movies.

The album resources of "Queen" were bought and used more than a dozen phone bills.

But fortunately, you can use it all the time after you buy it.

Although selling pirated CDs is a bit of a problem, it is quite easy to get money.

A pack of kraft paper, write the name of the content of the disc, and you can sell it.

Two empty discs and one piece, these things don't cost money, it may be nothing more than Kang Yi being beaten.

"Not yet, I'll sell it tomorrow when there are more engravings. ”

"If you don't sell it to anyone else, you sell it to the students of the surrounding schools, and remember, when the time comes, you take a player and put it in the place where the stall is set up in front of the school. ”

"Naturally, people will come and buy it. Lin Xi said lightly.

"But, is anyone really buying this song? It's all in English......" Kang Yi asked with a little skepticism.

Lin Xi nodded: "Don't worry, someone will definitely buy it, the boys of this grade are full of blood, and this thing of rock and roll will definitely attract them." ”

The reason why he chose rock and roll, Lin Xi mainly has his own ideas, and the golden decade of Chinese rock has passed.

Most of the rock songs are a roar of brains, no nutrition, choose English, change the taste, and take advantage of the loopholes.

Looking at Lin Xi's serious look, Kang Yi hesitated for a moment, but nodded and agreed seriously.

The two days of the weekend passed quickly.

At this moment, Lin Xi is walking on the way to school, Nanzhou No. 21 Middle School.

Returning to high school after decades is still a little new.

Walking into the somewhat outdated Twenty-One Middle School, everything around him inevitably made him a little nostalgic.

But the moment I sat in the classroom, I looked at the teacher on the podium and most of the students around me who were confused and had an impression.

Lin Xi was a little big-headed: "Fortunately, I saw these people and their names on the group photo of last year's spring outing yesterday." "Otherwise, it will inevitably be big.

The rules and regulations of lectures are good, but fortunately in the liberal arts, except for mathematics, I can't understand it.

In the past ten years of English, I have dealt with software architects of other nationalities, but I still have some level.

In addition, I still have some impressions of the questions in the previous college entrance examination, so I don't have to worry too much about anything.

Reading books, studying and studying, it was also quite easy, and I waited until the end of school in the afternoon.

Lin Xi closed the book, and Kang Yi on the side couldn't wait to run over, looked at Lin Xi and asked excitedly, "Brother Lin, let's go, what?"

Lin Xi nodded and waved his hand: "Let's go, go to the school gate!"

"Okay!" Kang Yi hurriedly agreed, following him, yesterday he carved nearly a hundred CDs a day, and now his schoolbag is full of this thing.

The two hurriedly trotted to the school gate.

There was a small stall at the door, and there were a large number of small vendors selling all kinds of gadgets, and when they saw the students coming out, they began to shout loudly.
