Chapter 5 The First Transaction

Zhang Chen's words are actually pure foolishness, the Pentium Mother Fork was launched in 96, but it was only announced in March, and it was officially supplied in May, and it was a matter of July and August in the second half of the year when it entered China.

Liu Ming was a little anxious when he heard this, he did bet a lot of goods, especially the CPU and motherboard, after Intel launched the Pentium processor in 93, it has not made much improvement to the Pentium, so the market is relatively stable. happened to hear that Intel's general agent in China was engaged in promotions a few years ago, and Liu Ming was ruthless and bet 50,000 yuan on the goods. If a new product comes out next month, the goods you bet on can't be sold, and it's really a big loss.

After all, Liu Ming has been in the society for two years, and it is impossible for a student to be messed up with a few words. Liu Ming digested Zhang Chen's information and decided to make sure that the authenticity of the news was clear, if it was true, he really had to make plans in advance. So he asked, "Where did you get on the Internet, it seems that there is no Internet in China now, right?" It was all introduced in the newspaper, but no one knows where you can access the Internet. “

Zhang Chen saw that Liu Ming was a little hooked, and smiled secretly in his heart. "My dad's unit has internet access, he works at BJ, and I watch it from him. ”

Looking at Zhang Chen's serious expression, Liu Ming's heart sank, and he felt that this was true nine times out of ten. In these years, due to the opacity of information, it is impossible to get rich by getting accurate foreign news one step ahead, at least it can reduce losses.

Seeing Liu Ming's heavy face, Zhang Chen continued: "Dude, you won't really charge the goods, if you really charge the goods, you have to sell them quickly, or you will smash them." Zhang Chen shook his head.

"Bet. Liu Ming smiled bitterly, he is actually not suitable for business, and he is too easy to trust others. Before Zhang Chen's rebirth, Liu Ming was deceived in 05 and went bankrupt for no reason.

"Then you're miserable, tsk. Zhang Chen looked a little gloating, and Liu Ming wanted to punch him in the face when he saw him.

Liu Ming was depressed for a long time, and suddenly remembered, "Why don't you buy what you told me so much?

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Dude, I came to walk around twice a year ago, and I found that you are quite real here, and you are not cheating, so I will give you a letter." Then Zhengse said to Liu Ming: "In the past few days before I started school, I plan to help you sell computers, what do you think?"

When Liu Ming heard this, he smiled and said, "You help me sell computers?

"I said I should prove that I am better than you. Zhang Chen looked at Liu Ming with a smile. "Moreover, I don't need you to pay me a salary, and I don't need you to be responsible for the installation, I pull over a customer, you only need to find the accessories I need, I will save the machine to install the system, one according to the profit, we will divide it in half. What do you say?"

Liu Ming pondered for a moment, the news that Zhang Chen brought him just now was too shocking to him, making him a little dizzy. Coupled with Zhang Chen's pretending to be forced, although he was not completely suppressed, it was not far behind. After thinking about it, Zhang Chen's plan didn't seem to have any loss to him, anyway, he went to find the customer himself, and his business was not affected, so why not do it.

Zhang Chen saw that Liu Ming was still a little hesitant, and said to Liu Ming: "Now Intel's new products are not known in the market, if the news spreads in a few days, everyone may compete to reduce the price, and it will be difficult to do it then." And it is said that AMD will also launch the next generation of products in order to face the challenge of Intel, and the code name seems to be 3dnow. ”

When Liu Ming heard this, he immediately made up his mind and said, "Okay, but in terms of profit, I want 6 percent, and we will split the account between the two of us." “

"No, it has to be five-five, and you have to be responsible for the guarantee. Zhang Chen didn't give an inch. "If you don't agree, forget it, I'll discuss it with the other stalls. “

Seeing that Zhang Chen was so resolute, Liu Ming smiled bitterly and agreed, "Okay, five five is five five." Then he curiously tested Zhang Chen: "Do you have a friend who wants to buy a computer?"

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "You don't care about this, I'll pull people myself, and when the time comes, you will supply the goods, and I will install them." By the way, leave me a contact information for you. ”

Liu Ming took a business card from the table and said, "There is my BP number on it, and there is also my landline number here, you can just call this." How can I contact you?"

Zhang Chen shook his head and said: "There is no phone in the dormitory, and I don't have a BP machine, I will bring the customer directly to you after I bring the customer, you just need to be in the store." ”

Liu Ming didn't think much about it, now students don't need to talk about mobile phones, BP machines are used less, in school, if anyone has a BP machine, even if it is a number instead of Han Xian's, it can make the people around him envious.

After saying hello to Liu Ming, Zhang Chen walked out of the electronics market and walked along the Qinghe Road. Walking to the door of a store selling Lenovo, Zhang Chen stopped.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the stores have just opened, but there are still a lot of people who come to see the computers. Because students are about to start school, and Qinghe Street is close to Riverside University, many students follow their parents to buy computers.

Although this store only sells Lenovo, it is still different from the future store, and it is more like a state-run sales department. On the table are two display computers. The salesperson in the store is lazy, smoking, playing cards, but no one greets customers.

Walking around the store, Zhang Chen stared at a mother and son. My mother was in her early forties, with wavy hair, a red trench coat, and a pair of leather boots at her feet. The son looks about the same age as Zhang Chen, fourteen or fifteen years old, with his hair combed in the middle, white and clean, wearing an Adidas sportswear, and he looks like a relatively wealthy family in this era.

The mother and son looked at the store for a long time, pointed to a Lenovo computer with a price tag of 12,800 and asked the clerk if there was a discount. Zhang Chen glanced at the configuration of this computer, which was not much different from the recommended configuration in Liu Ming's store. Hearing that it couldn't be cheap, the mother was a little disappointed, and the son pulled the corner of his mother's clothes and whispered to his mother. It can be seen that the main reason is that children want to buy computers, and parents bring their children to the store to have a look.

The mother forcibly pulled her son out of the Lenovo store, and then into the Founder store next to it.

Founder's price is cheaper than Lenovo's, but it's not a few hundred dollars cheaper. It didn't take long for the mother and son to walk out of the Founder store disappointed.

Zhang Chen felt that the heat was almost over, and walked towards the mother and son.

"Auntie, are you going to buy a computer for your little brother?" Zhang Chen walked to the side of the mother and son, probably less than a meter away.

The mother in the red trench coat was stunned, "Yes, you are?"

"My name is Zhang Chen and I am a student at Ben Thanh University. Zhang Chen took out his fake student ID and showed it to the woman. Luo Luo said generously: "I see that you have transferred a few stores, it seems that you have not chosen the right one, why don't you tell me about your needs, I may know more about computers than you, I can recommend it to you." “

In the 90s, there were not so many liars, and the precautionary psychology between people was not so strong, and the women in red became interested as soon as they heard it. "How old are you? The woman was not suspicious, but Zhang Chen was indeed too small now.

Zhang Chen showed a standard eight-tooth smile: "Auntie, I am 18 years old this year, and I just went to Binhai University last summer. School was about to start, and I arrived at the school a few days early to work. Auntie, what do you and your brother call each other?"
