Chapter 60: Buy a watch, earn a ticket

But Wang Xin didn't look at it for long, after all, he couldn't understand anything, and it was not interesting to watch on the sidelines, so he went into the house after watching for a while.

Fortunately, the neighbor's house in his east wing was still a little far away, and after entering the room, he could only faintly hear a little sound, so that his ears were not full of their noise.

When the door was closed, the sound was almost gone.

After closing the door, Wang Xin first finished all of today's homework, and then went to the main hall to get the newspaper to read.

Her aunt and grandmother had subscribed to a newspaper, and they had ordered more than one copy, whether it was a party newspaper or other newspapers.

In an era when television and radio were not very popular, or even existent, newspapers were the main source of information.

In particular, party newspapers and newspapers that represent the official mouthpiece are able to learn about what may happen in the future from small reports, or at least be prepared in advance.

Many things are not without warning, but most people don't notice them at all, or don't think about them at all.

Although Wang Xin's sensitivity is not high, he is somewhat influenced by the memories of later generations, so he still has some understanding from reading those newspapers.

He had to know exactly what orders had been issued at any given time, which orders might have been misinterpreted and distorted, and so on.

At the same time, he must also know the price information clearly, so as to temporarily adjust what he sells.

Except for the same food, he will make some adjustments to the rest of the things.

For example, moon cakes are sold during the Mid-Autumn Festival, glutinous rice is sold during the Dragon Boat Festival, and glutinous rice is also sold on New Year's Day.

The reason why we only sell glutinous rice is because no one will buy zongzi, and everyone is used to making glutinous rice dumplings by themselves, or making glutinous rice balls and the like.

If the price is set cheaper, so cheap that it is not much more expensive than selling glutinous rice directly, then why does Wang Xin need to bother with this?

And the price of his purchase is also much more expensive than the price of directly entering glutinous rice, well, the future labor price is not comparable with the current labor price at all.

Comparatively speaking, it is more profitable to sell primary agricultural products.

Therefore, except for some things that everyone is not capable of doing, Wang Xin can sell finished products, and the rest, but everything that everyone can do, Wang Xin generally only sells raw materials.

Regardless, grain is his primary selling choice.

Because compared to other things, it is obvious that the income from selling grain is higher.

He was able to sell grain on the free market for eight cents a catty, and his purchase price on Taobao normally hovered around six to two yuan a piece.

In other words, the price of grain has not changed particularly much in a few decades, unlike other things that have risen dozens of times.

For example, the purchase price of meat is 50 kilograms and 45 yuan, and the normal selling price is 8 cents a catty, but the price in the free market is generally more than double the normal selling price.

In other words, pork can only be sold for about two dollars on the free market.

Wang Xin bought it on Taobao, and he had to pay about ten yuan a catty, which was a five-fold gap, and there was no way to compare with the two-fold gap between selling grain.

Moreover, the meat sold on Taobao is basically frozen meat, and the price of fresh meat is much more expensive than frozen meat.

Therefore, Wang Xin would rather use the money from selling grain to buy pork in the free market than buy it on Taobao.

Moreover, the pork in the free market is still local pork, and you can occasionally eat wild boar or something.

It's much better than the meat on Taobao.

If he really dares to sell pork on Taobao here, it is estimated that the stall will be lifted the next day, because his pork is unpalatable.

As for other things, it is even more so, anyway, after Wang Xin's careful comparison, it was found that only selling grain was the most profitable, and the price comparison ratio was the lowest.

If he only sells grain, then the hundreds of thousands in his Taobao account can at least be exchanged for about 70,000 yuan here.

The hundreds of thousands after a few decades compared with the 70,000 a few decades ago is obviously a big profit.

Not to mention this, after Wang Xin returned to the east wing, he picked up the newspaper and read it at the light.

I didn't turn two pages before I saw several titles of interest.

One is "Whether the high-price policy for luxury goods is feasible", and the other is "Warmly celebrate the opening of overseas Chinese stores".

After reading it carefully, I found that the latter news had little to do with him, because the store was dedicated to the outside world, and only accepted overseas Chinese rolls exchanged in US dollars, not domestic money.

The previous one has a lot to do with him.

The main thing to discuss is to raise taxes on luxury goods, that is, to sell them at high prices.

The luxury goods here are not jewelry, but radios, bicycles and the like.

It's hard to imagine, but it's true.

In fact, the high-price policy has been implemented a long time ago, but the scope of implementation at that time was quite narrow, which was nothing more than selling some high-priced dim sum that did not require tickets during the New Year's holidays.

However, the new content in the newspaper was a proposal to sell many items that were not particularly necessary at a high price free of charge, so as to recoup the funds and increase the country's revenue.

Bicycles or something, Wang Xin didn't have the courage to sell them, mainly because it was difficult to find a source of goods similar to this era.

But there are many other things that can be sold, such as tea, watches, and wine.

These things, Wang Xin's money can't buy any high-end goods, but making a fortune by selling low-grade goods is also a way out!

Of course, Wang Xin values the business of selling watches the most.

In this era, the normal price of watches is to sell for dozens of yuan, and if you sell them at a high price, you have to sell them for 180 yuan.

Wang Xin can completely find merchants on Taobao to discuss ordering a batch, customized high-end watches are more expensive, but the price of customized watches in this era is definitely not high.

At that time, the profit ratio may be higher than the profit ratio of grain.

After all, there are even 19 watches with 9 free shipping on Taobao.

If you want to order a batch of watches in bulk, the price should not be too expensive, no matter how much it will not exceed eighty-one!

Therefore, this deal is still quite profitable.

After Wang Xin thought about it, he immediately found a low-end watch store with a good reputation and direct sales from the factory to discuss the custom-made thing.

The two chatted for a while, and finally agreed to order a whole thousand yuan business at the price of twenty yuan a piece.

There is a special customized link, so that Wang Xin can directly shoot a thousand pieces, and then discuss the delivery after half a month.

Wang Xin also readily agreed, and successfully transferred 20,000 yuan from the account.

At this time, his balance was only 123,63 yuan and six cents.
