Chapter 7 Speaking ill of people to their faces
However, just as Sun Fuda was about to ask the secretary to block the number completely, the office phone rang.
Sun Fuda was stunned for a moment, subconsciously picked it up, and before he could speak, the other side had already said straightforwardly: "Mr. Sun, how are you thinking about it? Give me an actual offer!"
Although Sun Fuda didn't dare to believe the other party 100%, he still said, "Sir, may I ask your surname?"
Chen Ping did not hesitate: "My surname is Wang!"
The moment Chen Ping's words fell, Sun Fuda was relieved.
Just now he checked, the Ocean Internet Café in Anhe City, the registered legal person is indeed surnamed Wang.
"Hello Mr. Wang, if the number of computers you buy reaches more than 500 units, the lowest price is 2600 yuan, how much are you going to buy?"
Chen Ping was silent for a moment, did not answer Sun Fuda's words, and just asked: "Then you check it for me now, what is the configuration...... What is the price for a computer configured in this way?"
As soon as Chen Ping's voice fell, Sun Fuda found out the result.
In fact03At this time,There are so many mainstream configurations of computers,It's not that complicated,Zhiguang Technology has a price list that is updated every day,And the previous configuration of the computer is in a file,It's easy to check。
"Mr. Wang, the price of this configuration is indeed lower, but if you open an Internet café, the computer of this configuration may not be enough, right?"
"Don't worry about this, just give me a quote!" Chen Ping's tone was not polite at all.
Sun Fuda didn't care either, and replied directly: "Similarly, if you buy more than 500 units at a time, the lowest price is 1800!"
"Okay, I'll think about it again and give you an answer tomorrow!"
After speaking, Chen Ping hung up the phone decisively.
Sun Fuda was dumbfounded.
This is so decisive, your house is on fire?
Sun Fuda's slander Chen Ping couldn't hear it, anyway, what Chen Ping heard, Sun Fuda's words were not the slightest dissatisfied, it seemed that the thing that had been delayed for half an hour had not happened at all!
However, Chen Ping did not deliberately delay, he had already made more than a dozen calls in the past half an hour.
More than a dozen companies were contacted, computers of two configurations, and more than a dozen prices were recorded.
But overall, the price is not much different.
The price of low-spec computers is generally between 1700 and 1800.
The mid-range computer is between 2600 and 2700.
In addition, there is a high-end one, but Chen Ping didn't pay much attention to it, there are not many people who can buy high-end computers these years, and the quotations are more than 5000!
Chen Ping thought for a while, wrote a number on the configuration list given by Wang Hailong, and then ran downstairs.
"Uncle Wang, take a look at this offer, okay?"
Wang Hailong looked at the numbers on the list, and his eyes suddenly widened!
4200!
"What is this?" Wang Hailong was confused.
Chen Ping smiled: "Computer quotation!"
Wang Hailong was stunned, then sighed, and said bitterly: "Chen Ping, you are still young, and you are preparing to face the college entrance examination, don't waste your energy on these things, when you go to college and have a wide range of knowledge, it's not too late to think about doing business!"
Chen Ping frowned, a little puzzled: "Uncle Wang, is this price very high?"
Wang Hailong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not high, it's too low! Do you know what the retail price of a computer with this configuration is in the city's computer city?"
Chen Ping estimated it and asked tentatively, "5000?"
Wang Hailong pouted: "It's 7800! Even if I find an acquaintance and give a cost price, I will get 7000!"
Chen Ping's face suddenly darkened.
This is a slaughter!
But think about it, in 03, computers were luxury goods, and ordinary people rarely bought them, just because they were too expensive!
A computer is more than 7,000, which is not high-end!
But in a few years, there will not be such a high price.
With the development of online e-commerce platforms, group buying websites have emerged in an endless stream, and online prices are more than half lower than those of physical store retail!
At that time, these retailers had to close their doors!
Chen Ping complained a few words in his heart, but then smiled and said: "Uncle Wang, are you worried that I have been deceived? You can rest assured, it is from the computer city in the city, and I am just a middleman and resell the computer to make a little difference! Uncle Wang, you won't mind if I earn you some hard money, right?"
Wang Hailong was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head, a little puzzled: "The acquaintance I am looking for is also from the computer city, that is, Dong Baiyan of Daewoo Computer, and the lowest price he gave me is 7,000!"
Chen Ping smiled: "So, I am my way to earn my hard money! I can negotiate a lower price, but I have to earn about 1,000 yuan per computer!"
Wang Hailong was dumbfounded.
Chen Ping's offer is only 4200, which will earn 1000 yuan, doesn't that mean that he only needs 3200 yuan to get the goods from the computer city? !
How is this possible?
Wang Hailong couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head.
He runs an Internet café, not a computer reseller, and he really doesn't know how deep the water is!
Who in the industry will casually spread the word?
After hesitating for a while, Wang Hailong could only say uncertainly: "Okay, when you negotiate the price, let's go together, we can't be deceived!"
Chen Ping directly agreed.
"Chen Ping, do you really want to help Lao Wang buy a computer?" asked Wang Yang, who was pulled out of the Internet café by Chen Ping, in surprise.
Chen Ping smiled and nodded: "You think I'm joking with you?"
Wang Yang was puzzled: "But the price of the computers sold in the computer city is 7,000, and you sell 4,200 to Lao Wang, and you have to die at a loss?"
"Don't worry, my purchase price will definitely be lower!"
", you really don't know about me? Anyway, my family also runs an Internet café, okay? The price of 7000 is low enough, and the lowest price given by others is at least 7200, where do you find the source of 4200?"
"The price of the physical store must be high, the price difference of the agents and dealers, as well as the rent, labor, warehousing, and transportation of the physical store, which does not need money? Although the quotation of 7000 is a bit inflated, but people also want to make money, this price is not too outrageous! However, if you buy directly from the general dealer, it will be cheaper by more than half!"
Wang Yang nodded as if he didn't understand, and Chen Ping could only explain what he had done before.
The dozen or so calls he made before, including Zhiguang Technology, were all Zhongguancun's general agency, and the price would be much cheaper if they were purchased directly from there.
This is also the method used by the group buying model that became popular a few years later.
Layers of middlemen are eliminated, and various expenses of physical stores are eliminated, and the gap between price and retail price is simply very different!
But after listening to Chen Ping's words, Wang Yang was strange: "Since you can buy goods directly from Zhongguancun, why do you go to the computer city?"
"Of course, you're looking for a partner! Are you really buying from Zhongguancun? 300 computers, after the goods arrive, assembly, maintenance, after-sales service, how do you do it?"
Wang Yang understood Chen Ping's thoughts, but it was still a pity: "This will make a lot less money!"
Chen Ping gave him a blank look: "Are you stupid? With such a hammer deal, we don't have to worry about anything after we earn a vote, and we can continue to resell the next batch of computers, on the contrary, if you do it all yourself, you won't do anything else in the future, just open a computer store!"
Wang Yang hesitated and nodded, anyway, he didn't understand, just listen to Chen Ping.
The computer city in Anhe City is not small, and it is not only a place to sell computers, mobile phones, cameras, and all kinds of digital products, but the entire second floor is all selling computers.
Chen Ping led Wang Yang around the second floor, and finally walked to a store in the most corner, almost unfrequented.
Wang Yang grabbed Chen Ping: "Go to this store? This store is obviously about to open, can't you see it?"
Chen Ping shook off Wang Yang's hand: "Don't pull and pull! Only those who can't open it can cooperate with us!"
After speaking, Chen Ping didn't explain to Wang Yang, and walked in directly.
There is a salesman in the store, and there is a master who is sitting in the innermost part and is installing the machine.
As soon as the salesman saw someone coming, he hurriedly walked over: "Two gentlemen, do you want to buy a computer?"
Chen Ping smiled: "I'm looking for your boss!"
The salesperson smiled: "Sir, if you want to buy a computer, I can introduce you to ......"
"You can't be the master, find the boss to come out and say!"
The salesperson's smile stiffened, and he carefully looked at Chen Ping and Wang Yang.
These are two seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people, and the salesman can't help but feel a little contempt in his eyes: "Sir, our store manager is very busy......"
Before she finished speaking, Chen Ping frowned.
He knows why this store is almost unpatronized, and with this service attitude, it is their fate to not go out of business!
Chen Ping's face was pale: "I said, looking for your boss, don't you understand?
The salesman was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Ping with a suspicious face.
Chen Ping raised his chin and gestured to Wang Yang: "My brother runs an Internet café at home, and he wants to replace the machine, and he needs hundreds of computers in total, understand?"
The salesman hurriedly smiled with a smile on his face: "Okay sir, I'll contact our boss!"
After saying that, she hurriedly walked to the side and made a phone call.
Wang Yang on the side was stunned: "Chen Ping, you dare to pull me over, just to pull the tiger skin to make a banner?"
Chen Ping smiled: "No, I'm!"
Wang Yang didn't understand for a while, and after thinking for a while, his face changed: "Phew! You're the egg!"
After a while, the salesman returned: "Sir, our boss's house is nearby, it will be there in ten minutes, please wait!"
Chen Ping nodded and casually found a seat in the store and sat down.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, the door opened, and a pretty figure walked in.
As soon as he saw this woman, Chen Ping was stunned, she looked like she was only in her early twenties, not a few years older than herself, she should also be a guest, right?
Chen Ping glanced at the time, and glanced at the salesman who had been with him a little impatiently: "It's been ten minutes, when will your boss come?
As soon as the salesman stood up, he suddenly glanced at Chen Ping strangely: "This is our boss!"
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment and looked at the young woman who walked in front of them.
It's embarrassing!
