Chapter 145: Free Gift
"Because it's a specialized newspaper with stocks, it's more expensive to sell, and it sells for a dollar per copy. ”
Lin Xiaojin nodded and said, "Okay, I don't care about the three copies you sold, a total of two hundred copies, I have exactly two hundred yuan here, and I want all the newspapers." With that, Lin Xiaojin threw the money directly at the newsstand. Without saying a word, I started the newspaper.
"What?" the old aunt was stunned by Lin Xiaojin's words. It took a long time for her to close her wide open mouth.
She was still worried about bad business just now. She also knows that the stock fell a lot yesterday, and business will definitely not be good today.
However, she has a contract with the newspaper distribution center, and the number of newspapers she receives from the distribution center is fixed every day. Therefore, even if the business was not good, she had no choice but to bring the two hundred securities newspapers to the newsstand.
But now, this young man, who had a very strong fight just now, turned around and "wrapped" his newspaper, which surprised her too much.
The purchase price of these newspapers was five dimes per copy, and each copy was sold for one piece, which meant that for every copy sold, she earned five dimes. Now, selling two hundred copies at once is equivalent to a hundred-dollar bill falling from the sky and smashing it on her forehead.
She went from fear to surprise at first, and now from surprise to joy again. She slowly reached out and took Lin Xiaojin's two hundred yuan, and then smiled with wrinkles on her face.
Then, she thanked her again and again while helping Lin Xiaojin sort out the newspaper. She thought that Lin Xiaojin was going to pack the newspaper and take it away, so she found a plastic rope and prepared to help Lin Xiaojin tie it.
Lin Xiaojin waved his hand and said, "Auntie, you don't have to help me tie up the newspaper, I still have one more thing to ask you to help with." ”
"What's the matter? The old aunt was in a super happy mood now, and immediately agreed.
"These newspapers, I want to borrow your newsstand to put them first, I want to sell newspapers here. ”
Lin Xiaojin smiled and said, "But don't worry, I'm not here to steal business from you." I promise that after selling these newspapers today, I will never sell them again in the future. But today, you'll have to watch for me. ”
When the old aunt heard this, she seemed to understand what Lin Xiaojin meant, but she seemed to be even more confused. If Lin Xiaojin wants to grab business, how can there be such a way to grab business?
Isn't it a big fool to eat all the newspapers of your business rivals at retail prices?
But Lin Xiaojin said it clearly - he must be selling newspapers here today, what kind of medicine is in this young man's gourd?
After thinking about it, the old aunt didn't care about him anymore. Anyway, I have already made a net profit of 100 yuan today, and I am idle when I am idle, even if I work for Lin Xiaojin in vain, it is not a big deal.
So, the old aunt nodded and said, "Okay, young man, you are my big customer, let alone today, even if you do it every day, I am willing to work for you." I'll just treat you like my big boss. ”
Lin Xiaojin just smiled, and didn't talk nonsense, he beckoned to the snack bar, and recruited Zhang Tao and Chen Xiujuan. Let them take care of the two hundred newspapers together.
Zhang Tao, Chen Xiujuan and the old aunt were a little incomprehensible. Isn't it just two hundred newspapers, and they actually have to be taken care of by three people, and they all think that Lin Xiaojin is making a big fuss.
Lin Xiaojin took care of Zhang Tao and asked him to cut a piece of waste cardboard into ten pieces, write a number on each piece, starting from "1" to the 10th piece of cardboard, and write "10" exactly.
Everything is ready, the time is already 9:20, and there are only ten minutes left before the stock opens.
Lin Xiaojin suddenly said to Zhang Tao, Chen Xiujuan, and the old aunt: "You three guard the newsstand, don't let people grab the newspaper!"
The three of them immediately looked at each other - now there is not a single customer on the newsstand, where did they "grab newspapers"?
Who knows, as soon as their doubts rose, Lin Xiaojin shouted in a straight voice: "Come on, everyone come, free newspapers, free newspapers!"
Lin Xiaojin's voice, although not loud, immediately made people inside and outside the securities company straighten their ears, and then they started to discuss:
"What, 'free'? what's 'free'?"
"It's like I'm hearing 'free newspapers.'" ”
"No matter what is free, let's take a look, 'free' does not suffer!"
"That's right, free stuff, don't be in vain, I'll go too. ”
……
Suddenly, the people inside the securities company and standing outside the glass door hulala all gathered around the newsstand.
And here, Zhang Tao and Chen Xiujuan were suddenly stupid, they looked at Lin Xiaojin like aliens. They knew that the newspapers had been bought for two hundred dollars.
Just now, they felt that Lin Xiaojin's behavior was very wrong - how could there be a reason to use the "retail price" to "wholesale" things?
The two of them are in the same class at "Nanjing University", and they both studied "international finance". Even if they don't study finance, even if they don't go to college, even if they are illiterate, they understand that only by buying low and selling high can they make profits.
However, they didn't have much to say, after all, Lin Xiaojin had just saved the two of them from the hands of the "Yin and Yang Eyes", so they had to choose to trust this "big brother".
But now, Lin Xiaojin is even more aggressive. Not only did he accept all the newspapers at the retail price, but he also started a "gift", how can he make money?
However, at this time, it was useless for the two of them to think about it, the front of the small newsstand was already crowded with people, three floors inside and three floors outside, so it was not lively.
And the three people who looked at the newsstand were in a hurry, they didn't know what Lin Xiaojin wanted to do, so they all tried their best to protect the newspaper. If they hadn't protected the newspapers, they would have been looted long ago.
The process of bringing together so many people took less than a minute. It seems that the habit of the Chinese people not to die when they hear "free" is an unbreakable truth in any historical period.
As soon as Lin Xiaojin saw that the fire was coming, he immediately rushed into the crowd, climbed onto the table where newspapers and periodicals were placed, condescendingly, raised his arms and shouted: "Shareholders and friends, don't worry, don't worry, listen to me, listen to me-"
Only then did everyone realize that the person who said that they would "deliver the newspaper for free" was not the three who were now guarding the newspaper, but this sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school student.
So, everyone shifted their attention to Lin Xiaojin, and immediately said to Lin Xiaojin:
"Isn't that what you said, young man?"
"Does your words count, why don't the three of them refuse to give a share?"
