Early the next morning, Huazhuang North, SEG Electronics Market.

Liu Qiang, who runs an electrical appliance store that mainly deals in products such as walkmans, cD machines and game consoles, has just opened the roller shutter and is ready to do business.

He's not in retail either, he's in the wholesale business. The entire SEG electronics market is mainly wholesale, so the outside of the market is almost overnight lined up with trucks waiting to pull goods.

Not long after the door opened, Liu Qiang's eyes were sharp, and he saw Ma Weiguo patrolling the field with two subordinates.

"Yo, I'm back, I've worked hard, I've been to the provincial city for further study, my spirit is different, come and eat a popsicle. Liu Qiang was very capable of opening the freezer in the store and handed over a cream popsicle with the best chocolate shell.

There are not many freezers in the electrical appliance store, and Liu Qiang is also to entertain large customers or suppliers sometimes.

"Do you have a good business here, so many cars are parked outside to get goods?" Ma Weiguo asked with a little disbelief.

Liu Qiang didn't want to say anything, but after thinking about it, he still didn't offend the current management, so he leaned over and lowered his voice to explain:

"Some of them are foreign second-hand phones, and since the country opened up licensed imports last month, the demand is too great. I heard that the factory of Hanle Electronics allocates 100,000 licensed goods to dealers a month, which is not enough to sell.

There are also so many dealers in small cities, expensive distressed, refurbished machines, foreign eliminated second-hand mobile phones, sold cheaper, and more people wanted. ”

Ma Weiguo was going to take the shelf, but when he thought about the matter, he still gritted his teeth and went straight to the point:

"If you are honest, I won't embarrass you. I came today to pay the bill, and your son lent my son a learning machine to let him learn English, history and geography, and I saw it really good. I can't make the mistake of borrowing from your self-employed people, so I'll buy it. I heard that the original price is 1500. ”

"Yo, children borrow and borrow, how can I ask you for money!"

"Are you trying to frame me for making a mistake?"

"No, no, no, where do you want to go, it really can't be counted as 1500. This is second-hand goods, the rules of the game console industry, and if you open the packaging, it will be eighty percent new. And before lending it to you, my son has been playing for a month, and Ken Jin'er is tired of playing with it, which can only be counted as six or seven percent new, so let's make up a whole 1000 for you. ”

This is indeed fair to say. If these people knew the algorithm of the depreciation rate of the game console in the future, they would definitely be able to lower the price again.

In this era, only among people in mixed society, it is easier to have bad people.

After the two sides made a deal, Ma Weiguo took a few more glances at Liu Qiang's store out of professional habits. Originally, he was just looking at it blindly, but a sticker that resembled a poster caught his attention.

"Please show your ID card when you buy a learning machine? What does this mean? You self-employed people still dare to check people's documents? Who gave you the power!" Ma Weiguo immediately straightened his face.

In these years, checking people's identities is a matter of tolerance. After 84 years, the number of people who need a letter of introduction to live in a hotel and buy a train ticket has gradually decreased in the south, and the ID card has not been checked, leaving a vacuum window period.

As soon as Liu Qiang heard it, he knew that he had committed the other party's taboo, and hurriedly handed over a cigarette to explain: "You misunderstood that I didn't write 'please', and I don't have to show it, where do we dare to overstep the line in our small business."

This is really the meaning of the superior distributor, saying that the top management of Tiankun Company has taken care of it, and in order to protect minors, it is best not to sell game consoles to people who do not have ID cards. Dealers at all levels should follow their warnings, and sometimes they will send people down to market research and collect feedback. If we don't, we may not get the goods. ”

There is no doubt that the request they are talking about was ordered by Gu Yu to do it.

Shi Yuzhu, the newly established marketing department of Tiankun in the mainland, of course, was outspoken against it at the beginning and tried to persuade the boss to change his mind. In their opinion, this affects performance, and the country doesn't care, why don't you worry about salty radishes.

But Gu Biao insisted on such a request.

However, the scale of requirements also changes. Gu Biao's initiative is not to sell to people who do not have ID cards, not to say anything about "over 18 years old".

This is also in line with the background of the times.

First of all, the domestic "General Principles" have only been promulgated for a month, and they will not be officially implemented until January 1 next year.

Secondly, the requirement for "civil capacity" in the General Principles clearly states "at least 18 years old." and those who have reached the age of 16 and whose main source of livelihood is their personal labor income, shall be deemed to have full capacity for civil conduct."

Gu Biao felt that it was not wrong to follow this idea and set his own corporate standards.

In the late 90s, and even in the 21st century, you were basically required to go to college to get a job. However, in the 80s, it was common for people to go to work after graduating from junior high school, and less than half of them even went to high school.

Gu Biao has always believed that a 16-year-old student should not be playful and indulgent, because he has failed to support himself, and his psychology is not as sound as self-reliant. And their future has not yet been determined, there are various development possibilities, and giving them game consoles at this time can be regarded as indirectly harming others.

But if you are a 16-year-old worker, why don't you let your family play game consoles? The trajectory of people's lives has been set, and although the possibility of a great future has been compressed, at least they can work hard and support themselves for the rest of their lives. People want to enjoy life at the same time, no problem, right?

Playing games doesn't make people even bad workers.

Therefore, it is still different from time shift.

Gu Biao's idea is very far-sighted, he hopes to let the industry develop benignly, and he will be self-disciplined from the beginning.

However, there are not many people who can understand his thoughts at the moment, and the people below who want to make money have their own thoughts, and it is impossible to be completely strict with self-discipline. Many dealers from other places rely on the staff of Tiankun's marketing department to reach the whip, and they are completely herding sheep.

At the same time, the purchasing power environment of '86 also makes many people feel that this kind of regulation is actually redundant: this is not the time when the Xiaobawang model appeared in '92.

In the 92nd year of later generations, the per capita salary in first- and second-tier cities was four or five hundred, and a Xiaobawang was only three or four hundred yuan. Minors save pocket money for a semester or two, and it is also possible to buy it secretly on their own.

The per capita salary in 86 was at least half or even two-thirds lower than that in 92, and the price of a learning machine was 1500, how many bear children could save money to buy a game console by themselves?

So even if you don't care, at least 95% of those who can afford to buy game consoles are adults who make money on their own. The other 5% are the children of the first to get rich.

Just like many people in later generations, netizens in 2000, except for curious online dating, seem to be much better than netizens in 2010 and even 2015 in terms of conversation quality and social accomplishment.

Some people who don't know the truth rudely say that "the quality of netizens born in the 70s and early 80s is really high, and the post-90s and post-00s generations are not as good as the generation" This view is of course wrong. The truth is that in 2000, most of the people who could afford to get on the Internet were relatively wealthy and avant-garde in their thinking.

And 20 years later, the Internet is already a thing that everyone can access. If you really take the part of the post-70s and post-80s who just learned to go online in 201x and have access to the Internet, and pick them out, you will find that their quality in all aspects is similar to that of the late 90s and early 00s who just touched the Internet in the same period.

In the same way, if you go back to the group of people who are playing BBS in 97 and 98, you can see which one is not a cultural person.

And the people who bought game consoles in 86 are actually not socially bad, and they can't afford to play socially badly.

Using the hardcore game of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as the starting point for the domestic promotion of learning machines, it has curbed those potential users who are full of qiāng car balls, and positioned the initial tonality of the product to the rational end.

……

In this context, not to mention, just Huazhuangbei and SEG Electronics, which are three points of land per acre, there are many dealers who do wholesale and cross-trade in violation of Yangfengyin.

After learning about the situation at Liu Qiang's booth, Ma Weiguo became more curious about the big bosses with a sense of social responsibility in Tiankun, and took advantage of the situation to turn around a few more times in SEG Electronics, feel the situation, and found that sure enough, in addition to Liu Qiang, there are many merchants who have not done what they promised in accordance with the by-laws when supplying to Tiankun.

It's just that these are not related to industry and commerce, but small breaches of contract between other operators, and industry and commerce are not easy to manage.

After touring the entire market, when he returned to Liu Qiang's store, Ma Weiguo saw an amazing scene.

A bald man wearing sunglasses seems to be low-key, but he is accompanied by many fierce subordinates, interrogating Liu Qiang.

There is nothing strange about this in itself, but the key is that Ma Weiguo vaguely recognized that the guy wearing sunglasses was also the person he had taken care of when he was working in other related systems a few years ago.

"Isn't this Shi Yuzhu? I heard that after he came out, he went to Xiangjiang and defected to some big boss, could it be Tiankun?" Ma Weiguo couldn't help but think.

Shi Yuzhu has been very low-key in the past three or four years, and he belongs to the kind of existence that only makes money and does not show his face.

Tiankun Company, in the United States, is crazy to promote Schulhoff, in other markets is to promote Gu Ao.

But this is also very normal, because a person who has had a disgraceful experience always has to keep a low profile for a few more years. Therefore, Shi Yuzhu can only make money in a low-key manner in this era when information is not very smooth, but no one who has ever known him knows his recent situation.

Shi Yuzhu also saw him, took the initiative to greet him with confidence, and then walked away proudly.

After the other party left, Liu Qiang wiped his sweat and said luckily: "Brother Shi came to check the dealers, and he found several companies that did not do what Tiankun asked and did not warn people who did not have ID cards to buy games. Brother Shi withdrew all their distribution rights.

I can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, let's be a man with our tail between our legs, and get the distribution rights of Lao Wang and Lao Yu. Alas, I still can't hold my head up, for fear that people will be jealous of me knowing his early history and will exclude me. I didn't expect that with Boss Gu, I could mix up so big. Let's have a friendship with Brother Shi with a little classmate in adversity, and we can be fairy and chicken. ”

Ma Weiguo heard this, and sighed even more: A person who has been in has been in because he has been a classmate with any of Gu Biao's subordinates, the weakest chicken Ma Zai, and then he can also achieve this.

The immortal aura around Boss Gu really ascended to heaven when he touched a little.
