Chapter 71: Game Consoles Don't Sell
The last paragraph of the previous chapter has been modified, and friends who haven't read it have been troubled to take a look.
————————
It's getting dark.
The surrounding headlights spread yellow light throughout the square, and the number of vendors gradually increased.
"Sell rock sugar gourds. "A man in his fifties was pushing a bicycle, with two straw sticks tied to the cargo rack and a stream of red sugar gourds stuck in them.
"Give me a string. ”
"Sanmao. ”
Several children pulled their mothers and grandmothers to squeeze over, bouncing around with the sugar gourds they had just arrived.
Selling marshmallows, selling popcorn, selling slippers, groceries, and more, you name it.
It seemed that in an instant, the north square was filled with countless vendors.
And next to each stall, there are more or less a few people around.
But the most attractive thing is the entrance, which is crowded with twenty or thirty people.
From time to time, you can still hear melodious music wafting from the noisy voices of people: "...... only to understand that love, hate, hatred, and hatred are the most hurtful and painful regrets...... When I have tears in my eyes, don't ask me who I'm ...... for"
Seeing that there were more people, Wang Qiang stood there and shouted again, "Take a walk and take a look, don't miss it when you pass by." ”
This sentence is very common, and many customers just listen to the music and don't pay attention to him at all.
"Those who come from the south to the north, those who have been to the United States, those who have been to Hong Kong, those who have traveled through the south and the north, those who have swum through the mountains and played in the water, those who have studied and visited the United States, and those who have kissed on the street......"
Because many of the young people in front of the stall were young people, they couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard the sentence that kissed them on the street.
"This product has just come out, it has been on CCTV, it has been on TV and newspapers, and people all over the country know it!"
Yes?
So powerful?
Even CCTV?
Many people looked at each other, as if they wanted to see from the eyes of their peers whether they were lonely and unheard.
But Wang Qiang's next sentence made many people almost faint, "If you say you haven't seen it, it proves that your TV has no signal!"
A girl in a floral dress sneered.
A few of the other lads were amused and laughed one by one.
Then a girl with a pink handbag came out of the crowd, and as soon as she arrived at the stall, she asked, "Boss, is it as evil as you say?"
"Beauty. Wang Qiang opened his mouth and came, "It's not up to me to say whether it's evil or not, I need to make a report on the spot." He picked up the Walkman that was playing, "Look, I've been playing it so far in the afternoon, and it's still so loud, right?"
The girl was called beautiful by his beautiful words, and now the title is not so open, more people call it a girl at most, a big brother or something, she was in a good mood and said: "A hundred yuan is a bit expensive, if you are cheaper, I will take one." ”
Wang Qiang complained bitterly: "A hundred yuan is still expensive? This is a Walkman, where can you see me such a cheap and good quality Walkman?"
This girl originally wanted to buy it, and it was true that Shanghai wanted to buy it for a hundred yuan, but she finally bought it, and by the way, she also picked two tapes.
Another business is done.
There were only four or five Walkmans left on the stall.
It's just that game consoles and game cards still don't sell.
It so happened that a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old came running over with his father in tow, "Dad, can you buy me a Walkman?" ”
"Okay, just one, but you promised me that you would do well in the exam. The father frightened: "If you don't do well in the exam, don't talk about the Walkman next time, don't want anything." ”
Wang Qiang asked them for their requirements, picked out a Walkman and handed it over, and took the initiative to sell it: "Is the game console cheap, one hundred and eighty-one, and the shopping mall starts at two hundred......
The father's face changed, and his voice was not very good: "Don't!"
His son's eyes were filled with longing.
Wang Qiang was afraid that if he continued to sell it, he would not be able to do the business of the Walkman, so he had to keep his mouth shut and collect the money.
……
The Walkman is indeed a good seller.
By about nine o'clock in the evening, twenty units had been sold out, and thirty or forty boxes of tapes had been sold.
Just looking at the red and white machine on the cardboard that didn't move, Wang Qiang wondered.
The old man was already preparing to close the stall, knocked on his back and said: "Xiao Wang, your business is good enough, one or twenty Walkmans have been sold since the afternoon, and you have made a lot of money." ”
Watching the fireflies fly, Wang Qiang sighed: "The Walkman is very easy to sell, but the game console can't be sold." ”
"You want to sell game consoles here?" the old man sneered, "Thinking too much, right?"
Wang Qiang bundled the game console into a stack and asked, "How do you say this?"
The old man was not in a hurry to close the stall, he sat there and looked over, "Let me ask you, who are the people at the train station?"
"Travelers, those who come to work, visit relatives and friends, or go on a business trip. Wang Qiang replied.
The old man slapped his thigh and said, "Isn't that it? Don't you notice that the people who buy your Walkman are all young people? They basically come to work, and they can take a Walkman with them to listen to it, and they can also show off with the people who work together, but what's the use of buying a game console? Do you expect them to buy a TV set and put it in the dormitory for this purpose, and then pull others to play with them?"
As the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, and there is a treasure.
Wang Qiang woke up all of a sudden, before listening to the old man's analysis, he only knew that the train station had a large flow of people, and he didn't think of what the customers wanted.
Not to mention color TVs, now a black and white TV set is in the hundreds.
The red and white machine must be equipped with a TV to play, and those young people who come to work can't afford to pay a few hundred yuan to buy a TV in order to play games, right?
Furthermore, the largest user base of red and white machines is not young people, but primary school students and middle school students.
As for the young man who can appear in the North Plaza, he either goes to the university to report or goes to work, which is not very suitable for playing games, so it is the wrong choice to take the red and white machine to the North Square to buy.
Wang Qiang humbly asked: "Then where do you think the game console is the most suitable to sell?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know, I know that my grandson likes to go to the house next door to play game consoles, but do you think I will buy this kind of harmful thing for my grandson?"
"No, it won't. Wang Qiang sneered.
What parent doesn't want their children to get better grades?
Children's self-control ability is relatively poor, and after being addicted to game consoles, their grades are likely to plummet, so most parents hate game consoles.
It's okay like European and American countries, but in China, in this regard, parents must be afraid of game consoles, let alone buying, even if children go to the game machine room on Saturday and Sunday to play two and catch it, they may be beaten hard.
Perhaps, only very few enlightened parents will buy their children a game console.
More often than not, children save a little bit of New Year's money, or their parents usually give pocket money, so they secretly buy a game console to hide at home, and play two hundred when their parents are not at home.
For a while, Wang Qiang felt a little tricky.
It seems that gaming consoles are not as tight as they seem.
But twenty game consoles plus dozens of boxes of game cards cost 1,400 yuan, so you can't smash your hands, right?
Wang Qiang felt a little headache, but he wanted to sell the Walkman first regardless of the game console for the time being, but the day after tomorrow the Walkman will be checked, and it is estimated that the Walkman will not be able to sell it in the North Square in the past few days.
Gotta think of the best of both worlds.
On the way to the hotel after cleaning up the stall, his mind kept thinking about what to do.
