Chapter 15 Drawing the Tiger from the Cat
"Uncle Carter, I brought you a good thing from RB this time!" said Shakru excitedly to Carter as soon as he entered the door.
"Oh, what's that good?" asked Carter, curious.
"This is it, Dangdang Dang Dang!" said Shakru as he opened the cardboard box.
Carther looked at it, shook his head and smiled: "I thought you were talking about some kind of good thing, it turned out to be a toilet!"
Shakru hurriedly corrected: "Eh, Uncle Carthus, this is not an ordinary toilet, this is a smart toilet!"
"Why isn't a smart toilet a toilet?" Karter's reaction was exactly the same as the original Tanmi.
"I'll install it for you later, and you'll know the benefits of this smart toilet when you try it!" said Shakru confidently.
After directing the servants to work for a long time, and finally installed the smart toilet, Shakru motioned to Carter, "Uncle Carter, let's experience it!"
"This thing can't be experienced by experience, I don't have the desire to go to the toilet right now!" Carter replied with some embarrassment.
"If you don't have one, you can experience it!" said Shakru, pushing Karth into the bathroom.
After a while, Carter walked out, his expression immediately became completely different from before, and he was full of praise: "Oh, little Shakru, how did you find such a miraculous thing? This, this is simply a gift from the gods! I never thought that the toilet could be made like this, it is really amazing, amazing!"
"Uncle Carthus, you see, I just said that this is a good thing, and do you think that even if it is sold at a higher price, many people will buy it?" asked Shakru proudly.
Carther waved his hand and said, "As long as it doesn't exceed 100,000 rupees, I will definitely buy it!" (the ratio between rupees and renminbi is about ten to one, that is, one yuan can be exchanged for ten rupees!)
"It's not that expensive, it's about 50,000 rupees!" replied Shakru.
Karl nodded and said, "That's fine, it's not particularly expensive, but the poor must not be able to afford it!"
"I didn't plan to sell it to the poor, they didn't even have a toilet, how could they afford such a high-end toilet!" Shakru complained. (This is the truth, interested friends can take a look at the Indian movie "Toilet Hero", a very good film, also very down-to-earth, in general, there are many films in Indian movies that expose reality.) )
"Well, that's right, by the way, when are you going to open this shop, and I can help you promote it!" asked Carter with interest.
Unexpectedly, Shakru shook his head and replied, "To be honest, I don't want to open a store." ”
"Don't want to open it?, why are you bothering with this thing so much?" asked Carter in disbelief.
Shakru hurriedly explained: "Well, I didn't make it clear, I mean I don't want to open this store by myself, because opening a store to sell this thing means that I have to stay in India for a long time, and what I lack is time, so I want to partner with someone to do this business, I can ask for a little less shares, and hand over the management power to the other party, simply put, I just want to be a hands-off shopkeeper!"
"Oh, I see, you're looking for me to do this business?" said Carter.
Shakru nodded and replied: "Yes, don't you think that this business is almost certain to make money in the early stage, even if someone imitates it later, it has enough first-mover advantage." ”
"Yes, that's true, but I'm not very good at business, and my status is not very suitable for business. Carter said with a frown.
"It doesn't matter, can you find a businessman to work with, you can be mainly responsible for marketing, after all, the high-caste market, they Vaishyas are very difficult to enter. Shakru persuaded.
"Well, what you said makes sense, then I'll find someone to ask!"
Just when Shakru was discussing the "great cause of the toilet" with Carter, at the home of his former enemy Feng Zhipeng, a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy proposed to him: "Boss, I heard that the Indian has returned to China, can we go and get rid of them this time and avenge Biaozi and them?"
Feng Zhipeng knocked him on the head casually and scolded: "Are you stupid? When that Indian is not there, we can go and smash his field? Do you believe it or not, after you finish smashing the front foot, he will call the Public Security Bureau with the back foot, do you think Liu Suo and they still dare to suppress this matter?"
"So, what should we do then? Shall we just swallow this bad breath?" exclaimed the sharp-beaked monkey unconvinced.
Feng Zhipeng shook his head and said: "Of course you can't just forget it, since you can't rob it openly, then let's steal it!"
"Stealing? This doesn't seem easy, I heard that they all take patients to the customs to get medicine directly, and there is no warehouse at all, so how can they steal?" said the sharp-billed monkey with a frown and distressed.
Feng Zhipeng was angry and knocked on the cheek of the sharp-beaked monkey again: "You are really stupid when you say that you are stupid! I am a metaphor, do you understand the analogy? I mean that since this Indian can do this, then we can also follow the example of the cat and the tiger, and also mail medicine to the patient from India, and then sell it for a lower price than him, I don't believe that this group of sick people will not buy cheaper medicine, and when the time comes, we will snatch all his patients, I see how he cries?
After hearing this, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "Gao Ming, you are still the boss, you are amazing!" But then he frowned and asked: "But boss, I heard that this Indian is sold according to the price of their medicine, if we sell it cheaper than him, then we will not lose money?"
Feng Zhipeng immediately snorted and scolded: "Phew, do you believe in this kind of nonsense monkey? Then the Indians came all the way to China to do good deeds? Do you believe this kind of thing? Do you think he is a living bodhisattva?"
The monkey scratched his head and replied embarrassedly: "But yes, there are people who do the business of killing heads these days, but no one does the business of losing money!
"How simple is this, that's right, he sells the retail price of the pharmacy, but he definitely doesn't buy the goods in the pharmacy, but the wholesale from the manufacturer, you should always know the difference between the wholesale price and the retail price, right?" Feng Zhipeng explained helplessly.
Hearing Feng Zhipeng's explanation, the monkey suddenly realized: "Ah! I understand, it's like bean sprouts are two cents a pound in the wholesale market, but in the supermarket they are five cents a pound, okay, this Indian is cunning enough, he made a lot of money in the middle, and then he pretended to be a good person in front of those patients!"
