Chapter 131: Dreams Shattered
It is also the old house of the Li family, which has become a place for Chen Dahe's telephone office, and every time he needs to call to come here, fortunately, every weekend Xiqian will pull Chen Dahe over to clean up, otherwise I don't know what it will look like.
The phone was connected, and as soon as Chen Dahe reported his name, Oliver's excited voice came from the microphone, "Chen, the samples you sent are so popular, we have signed six more distribution companies, if it is not for the consideration of testing the market reaction first, their demand may increase tenfold." ”
Chen Dahe was stunned, and counted with his fingers, how much is it to increase it tenfold, a thousand sets, or two thousand sets?
I'll go, do you want to be so exaggerated?
"No, Oliver," Chen Dahe hurriedly asked, "How is the price set, it can't be dumped at a low price, right?"
"How is that possible," exclaimed Oliver, "I'm a top student at Boston University, how could I engage in such an untechnical thing as low-price dumping!"
"Tell you," Oliver suddenly lowered his voice at this point, "The quotations I sent them are all multiplied by twenty on the basis of your purchase price, and there is no discount!"
Profiteers! Black-hearted profiteers! Black-hearted profiteers!
This is Chen Dahe's first reaction, what are the capitalists who dare to do bad things for the sake of 300% profits, compared to this, they are as pure as babies.
Uh, it seems that this business itself is the big one?!
"Na," Chen Dahe said against his will, "will this price be set a little higher?"
"No," Oliver said firmly, "these goods have been appraised by senior appraisers from several art companies, and all of them are higher than similar products in the market, whether in terms of quality, artistry or rarity, and I am only pricing them now, not higher than them, and if they are widely popular in the market, it would be more appropriate to consider raising the price at that time." ”
In this regard, Chen Dahe could only laugh wildly in his heart, while secretly muttering, this is the market, the price is not set by me, it has nothing to do with me, I am not a profiteer!
Think about the electronic watch sold some time ago, the purchase price of eight yuan is sold at a high price of one hundred and eighteen, more than 20 times the profit, but it is still not comparable with this, because that kind of trading is accidental, it is impossible to sell at such a high price, and the price will definitely be reduced in the later stage, and it is a leak to the end, and foreign trade is a long-term business, and the change cannot be so fast, with high stability.
In the previous life, so many foreign trade companies have made a lot of money, specializing in foreign trade processing, only doing import and export business, the profit is much higher than doing domestic trade, plus since recent years, the RMB exchange rate against the US dollar has continued to fall, and it is strange that foreign trade does not make money.
And the art is not the same as ordinary goods, as long as it is a fine product, it generally has value preservation, and the possibility of falling prices is very small, especially for master works, it is normal for the price to turn over every year, and there is no need to worry about selling lower and lower.
It can be seen that my decision was indeed correct!
However, they can make so much profit, but also related to the mastery of sales, if you only do art production, then you can only eat a small head, do the hardest work, but take marginal profits, just like a certain factory for the processing of fruit mobile phones in later generations, with the largest cost to earn the smallest fraction, and the client can not be compared at all, sure enough, the channel is the king.
"By the way," Chen Dahe suddenly remembered a question, "Oliver, I sent two sets of samples, and you only said that they would be added by a hundred times, so is it a hundred sets or two hundred sets?"
"Oh God, it was my negligence," Oliver said with annoyance, "Chen, it's two hundred sets, and I've already charged them thirty percent of the deposit, so I don't have to worry about losing money, in fact we've made money." ”
"Already received a deposit of 30%?" Chen Dahe calculated, "So, just the deposit, we are enough to pay for the goods in full, and there is still a profit?"
"Yes," Oliver on the phone was also excited, "just the deposit is already five times the profit, I have never seen a business with such a high profit margin." ”
Chen Dahe thought about it and made a decision in the shortest time, "Oliver, dare to play big?"
"Chen, what do you mean?"
"Additional orders," Chen Dahe said categorically, "all the deposits received will be used as purchase deposits, and a sufficient number of goods will be added at one time!"
"Wait, wait," Oliver felt a little confused, straightened out his mind and said, "Chen, that's the case, we were going to order 200 sets, that is, about 330,000 US dollars, and the price I gave them for this batch of goods was 6.6 million US dollars, yes, that's right, and then I took them a deposit of 2 million US dollars, and now, do you want to use all these 2 million US dollars as a purchase deposit, and purchase 20 million US dollars of goods at one time?"
"Then according to our pricing," Oliver calculated in his heart, and suddenly felt suffocated, "that is to sell for four hundred million dollars?!"
"Oh my God!" Oliver muttered, "this is just my first project, is it going to be so big, it's crazy, Chen, are we really going to do this, what if it fails?"
"If it fails, then you will lose your $1,500, and I will lose all my $3,500," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "but if it succeeds, even if it takes a year or even two years to sell this shipment, then you will immediately become a billionaire! The youngest self-made billionaire in the history of the United States!"
"it!" Oliver slapped the table with a loud bang coming from the phone receiver.
"Chen, I only have one question now. ”
"You say. ”
"Can you procure enough of the goods?"
"Huh?" Chen Dahe was stunned for a moment, it seemed that he hadn't thought about this problem, and he was dreaming of making a fortune just now.
Oliver on the other end of the phone continued, "There must be quality assurance, once the quality declines, even if it is only a little lower, the value will be greatly reduced, and it may only be three times or even one or two times the profit, which cannot be compared with the current one, so the quality must be guaranteed!"
At this time, Chen Dahe only had a wry smile on his face, no need to go through any investigation, as long as he thought about it with his toes, he knew that it was impossible to purchase so many high-quality works, which were made completely by hand one by one, not a pseudo-artwork produced on the assembly line, and now it depends on how many goods Yang Yong can raise in the end.
"Oliver," Chen Dahe said in a low voice, "maybe our billionaire dream will be put to rest, let's try to become a multimillionaire first, I will try to purchase as much art as possible, the same quality as that batch of samples, I hope the multimillionaire's dream will not be shattered." ”
Oliver also paused, and it took a long time before he said, "Hell, Chen, you just whetted my appetite to make a fortune, and now you say that, I'm going crazy!"
"I'm going crazy too," Chen Dahe squeezed out a few sounds from his mouth, "I feel like the money is flying away in front of my eyes!"
"Stop fantasizing," said Oliver, in what he thought was the most serious tone, "I think you should first make sure that you can guarantee the supply of two hundred sets of goods, otherwise we will constitute a breach of contract, and we will have to pay double the difference." ”
