Volume 1 Chapter 93: Drinking Tea and Chatting
After chatting with Cheng Chen, Xing Yu began to prepare, in order to ensure profits, he had said goodbye to slightly older cars, but now second-hand cars that are more than eight years old can not be loaned, and these old cars have no market, so basically no one on the market makes too old models.
The best-selling model within three years is the favorite of second-hand car dealers, these cars are very low because of the high penetration rate, and the profits are very low, everyone is grabbing these easy-to-sell models, and the prices are very high, which is also forced by online e-commerce, you don't accept it, and naturally there are e-commerce platforms to flicker to consignment.
This model of consignment, Longlong has played many years ago, and it is still the largest consignment second-hand car dealer in Xi'an, and the profit is too low, and sometimes the money earned is not even enough to pay for parking......
The advantage of consignment is that there are many vehicles, small financial pressure, you go to the consignment company, all kinds of vehicles are placed in the place where they are placed, there are more customers, more people naturally buy, every day to see the sale of vehicles is particularly much, but the actual profit is less pitiful.
In order to pursue profits, there are more and more routines of consignment companies, and Xing Yu was too bored in his company this day, so he went to his buddies to drink tea.
This friend used to be a director of Longlong Company, and the true biography of the deep Longlong led a group of people from the former Longlong Company to set up their own doors.
The new company is located in Jinqiao Car City, which is currently the third largest second-hand car distribution center in Xi'an, most of the port cars used to be sold, and slowly the port cars were replaced by the second-hand car market, most of the market is the old people in the old market, Xing Yu came over to drink tea one by one, Xing Yu just wanted to see how everyone's business was, and everyone had no good ideas about the off-season......
In the northeast corner is this consignment car dealership, Xing Yu stopped the car and walked to the exhibition hall, and immediately a salesperson surrounded him: "Hello sir, how can I help you?"
"I'm looking for Yang Jian, and we made an appointment. Xing Yu didn't want to be embarrassed by the sales in the store, and said straight to the point, they are all in the same industry, and everyone knows the pain here.
"Oh. Our boss is in the upstairs office, you just go up. The visitor replied politely.
Walking through the exhibition hall, Xing Yu found that the vehicles in this store range from 20,000 to more than 1 million, from mini cars to full-size SUVs, and they are also very well placed.
Xing Yu still likes to put vehicles with similar prices together, if you come to buy Passat, then you can also take a look at Honda CRV, the price is about the same, a sedan and an SUV can be differentiated and compared, don't come to Passat, Magotan, Teana...... In this way, it is uncertain to find it at the same price.
Seeing a lot of cheap cars, Xing Yu is still a little puzzled, these tens of thousands of yuan cars, how much profit there is now, the same to care about profits, car conditions, procedures and many other issues, worry about the same, if there are more cheap cars, it is really to make cabbage money, the heart of white powder......
Walking to the door of the office, he heard a lot of noise inside, many sounds were familiar, Xing Yu didn't knock on the door, and pushed the door in.
"Ahem, ahem, are you setting fires? When he entered the door, Xing Yu choked on the smoke in the room.
"We just talked about you, and you're here. Why did you quit smoking when you became a big boss? This smoke can still choke you. The person who spoke was actually Xing Yu's old acquaintance, Zhang Junping.
"Hello President Zhang, you are also here. Xing Yu saw the person coming clearly and hurriedly greeted him. Zhang Junping became the vice president of the first second-hand car business association in the province, and Xing Yu heard him call himself the big boss, and he couldn't help but smash the other party.
"Come on, I call you boss, and you call me the president, don't you? Zhang Jun shifted a position for Xing Yu to sit.
Looking around, it is so coincidental that the owners of several car dealerships are sitting here.
"Hello bosses, why do you come to drink tea today when you have leisure and elegance?" Xing Yu also hurriedly greeted a few people before sitting down, and all the seniors present were from the car dealership, so this respect still needs to be there.
"Mr. Xing, you are here, we were still talking about you just now, Zhang Junping said that you were like a usurper when you were still working in Bangdu a few years ago, and now you really received the company under your own name, seeing that you go out to the circle of friends every day to cross the game, we are still very envious, you are making money, you are free, you have money to play, it is not like we are all dying. Yang Jian said after serving Xing Yu a cup of tea.
"At that time, I was really talking about playing, and I didn't have the slightest intention of usurping the throne, what money did I have, and now it's all loans, and the pressure is great. Xing Yu took a sip of the cup and said, "The tea is good, this cake is from an old tree." ”
"I don't know, now the tea is sent by others, and Pu'er is now in a bad water, aren't you a gold and financial predator? Tell us what the capital market is going to speculate on next, we won't do cars, we will speculate with you on something else." Yang Jian continued to refill Xing Yu's tea and said.
"If I were a gold predator, would I still be able to drive my own car? How would I know what the big bosses were thinking, and if I could know that I would continue to do a good job, why should I open a store? Xing Yu did a good job and said while giving everyone a cigarette.
"Then you are also a big boss, when we first met, you still smoked eight yuan of Hongta Mountain, and now you have drawn China, and the money you sold on the website before is worth the profit we made from selling cars for a few years. Zhang Junping smoked, looked at it and pinned it to his ears, the people around him smoked too much before, and now it is indeed a little choking.
"That is, when I met Xiao Xing, he was only so tall, and he was still a doll. Now that company is really magnificent," said Zhou Weimin, another car dealer who also pinned a cigarette to his ear.
"Mr. Ma, I was in my 20s when we met, how could I still be tall, you are much bigger than me now, don't smash me. Xing Yu took a lighter and stepped forward to light it for Zhou Weimin first.
"What did you just talk about? I still want to come here to learn the scriptures. After lighting a cigarette, Xing Yu asked.
"What else can I say, it's nothing more than the car dealership. Zhang Junping spoke first.
Zhou Weimin followed and said: "It's not about money, many investors don't do this, and they all use money to speculate in stocks." I was asked by investors to withdraw my shares every day, and today I finally came out without being bothered. ”
"Yes, this year, stocks have become a drug-like temptation in all industries, and it has also had a great impact on the second-hand car industry. Xing Yu, who had heard about this, followed.
"Who says no, the temptation of short-term and fast makes everyone crazy, second-hand cars are sold to the fixed income, buyers are unintentional, and the natural market is weak. In addition, stocks also have a huge constraint on car changers, and the funds that were originally used to change for better models flowed into the financial market, so 20% of people laughed, and some people did not have the capital to change cars. Yang Jian pointed out the impact of stocks on the market.
"Yes, my investors all think that the profits of car dealers are too low, and they all want to withdraw their capital to speculate in stocks, and these people have forgotten how much they lost in the stock market before, so they are looking for car dealers to invest and seek stability. Zhou Weimin followed.
"Xing Yu, you are understanding finance, now there are more and more inventory financing companies, is there a good channel to introduce to us. Now there are a lot of car dealers who are short of money, and if you have a channel to lend, you will definitely be able to make another profit. Zhang Junping asked Xing Yu a question.
Everyone here knows that some time ago, Zhang Junping sold half of the car in the store to test the water in the stock market, and made a lot of profits for it.
"There are too many pools of capital, but now many companies have tightened their policies and are ready to reinvest in the stock market......" Xing Yu was interrupted by Zhou Weimin as soon as he said two sentences.
"You're all high-interest loans, and now the money earned by several car dealers is paying interest, making the owner of the car dealership like a worker at a bank or loan company. Zhou Weimin said angrily, and after speaking, he took the tea in front of him and drank it all.
"We can't blame people for lending, but we can blame those e-commerce companies, which have crushed our profits. Xing Yu, you also followed Zhou Long to Xinche.com, do you know that we don't let them in the market now?" Zhang Junping followed.
"Didn't I go to the race? and came back, why don't you let them into the market? They help you buy and sell cars." "Xing Yu hasn't been to the market for a while, and he really doesn't know these things.
"Not only Xinche.com, but also all e-commerce companies such as Soybean Car Network. These people collected our vehicle information, posted it on their own website, used our car to make money for themselves, and when they sold the car, they still asked us to move the car to their showroom, we don't know how much it was sold, and they kept cutting our prices, and the vehicle came to us again with follow-up problems, aren't you hundreds of professional tests? Why didn't you check it out?" Qiu Pengfei, who was sitting on the side and didn't speak or was drinking, suddenly broke out when he heard the problem of e-commerce, and said a bunch of complaints.
"Brother Qiu, you specialize in business vehicles, you occupy so many business vehicle resources in the market, someone wants a business car, they must be looking for you, you have a lot of business resources, and the price is cheap, you can get it if you make a little money, what do you care about the cat in the middle of e-commerce?" After all, Xing Yu has not completely lost contact with e-commerce finance now, and he is still in that circle, and he can only say something good here, which means a little.
"Don't complain, I've figured out something now, do you want to listen?" Yang Jian, who had been renewing tea for everyone, spoke.
"Don't hide it, tell it and we'll listen. Zhang Junping took Yang Jian's teacup and said.
"I have summarized a few points about profits, do you listen to whether it makes sense: 1. Value-added service profit model. 2. Small profits and quick turnover model 3. Niche model. 4. Service mode. 5. Flat mode. Yang Jian said unhurriedly.
