In 2003, the policy of the State Food and Drug Administration canceled the definition of "special commodities" and also canceled the pre-approval, but the sex toy market still waited until the rise of e-commerce such as Taobao to usher in a boom of rapid development. In the past, when I only opened physical stores, it was still an industry that was mysterious, hidden, and seductive, and some "couldn't see the light".

In 2012, there were about 500 sex toy factories and more than 200,000 sex toy stores in Huaxia, and the total market will reach about 100 billion, and nearly 70% of the world's sex toys are produced in Huaxia.

Low cost is the main reason for the windfall profits.

The sexy underwear that looks seductive in the sex store is made of the coarsest fabric, and a set of nurses, teachers, and policewomen cosplay three-piece sets priced at more than 500 yuan are less than 100 yuan. There is almost 500% profit.

A box of condoms costs about 2 yuan, but it can be sold for dozens or even hundreds of yuan when it is hung up with new features and new brands in a sex store. And some of the so-called divine oils, sprays, anti-inflammatory potions...... As soon as the sex toy store changed hands, the price immediately soared more than 10 times.

Another reason for the windfall profits is that buyers are often shy about haggling.

The traditional Chinese concept binds everyone, making them happy to do such shameful things, but ashamed to say it, so that the bargaining that can be seen in almost all trade scenes disappears here.

There is a popular saying in the glasses industry: 20 yuan of glasses, 200 yuan to sell you is about favors, 300 yuan to sell you is about friendship, 400 yuan to sell you is about the market. The lucrative glasses industry is actually a gray chain of interests with low cost, high pricing and high discounts.

The eyewear industry has four major product categories: frames, lenses, contact lenses and eye drops, and the average gross profit of optical stores is about 5 times.

There are two reasons for the profiteering:

(1) The cost of glasses is very low compared to the selling price.

In Danyang, Jiangsu Province, the hometown of Chinese glasses, frames and lenses are only a dozen or dozens of yuan, but once they enter the sales store, the price of these things skyrockets, and they are often hundreds to thousands.

(2) The technical threshold is not high: the glasses dispensing process only takes ten minutes.

Only one optician and one shopping guide are needed, and all the other work can be delivered to a machine to complete, and the scientific and technological content of this machine is still very low, and the area is only the size of a bedside table, which is not very expensive.

…… The above two are the main business that Guo Lu is currently preparing to engage in, online and offline at the same time, as long as you find a purchase channel and send a batch down, you can open a store for sale.

As for the others, they have their own difficulties, and they are not something he can start with at the moment.

Even in the midst of the global recession, health supplements have never stagnated, but the industry needs R&D capabilities.

The same is true for the beauty care industry, where institutions are expensive to build and equipment to be expensive.

The market for baby products is large, but the competition is also chaotic, not to mention the outbreak of melamine in China in 08 years, which has affected the entire industry, including infant food, and the crisis of trust is extremely serious.

Wedding photography is lucrative because most people value (and hope) "only once in a lifetime" feature that they can tolerate almost no matter how expensive it is. The basic profit margin is 30%~40%, but it requires a large number of personnel, and he currently has no manpower. However, this operation is also very simple, as long as you train some personnel, you can open a store.

The gross profit margin of the online game industry is as high as more than 50%, the highest is even 75%, and the net profit margin is also 25%~50%, which is almost as long as a server and a few staff members, you can make money.

But here's the problem - servers are expensive!

At this time in 2010, it is no longer the era when "Miracle" and "Legend" can run online games with a dozen computers, and the most high-end server is IBM's blade server, but its price is ...... But it's a staggering $30 million!

So, ah-

Nowadays, in general, the first thing is to open an online store, find a manufacturer, then sell sex toys, then recruit people, enter the optical store, and then wait for the bull market to come, make the first big money, the capital is full, and then it will be easy to do. In addition, I have to rush to Shengjing to see if I can enter the veteran team of the wheat group and take a ride.

"Li Chen, have you opened online banking?" Thinking of this, Guo Lu raised his head.

"Ah...... Oh, open ...... It's on. Li Chen was a little overwhelmed by this sudden remark.

"Lend me the bank card you opened for online banking and your ID card." As he spoke, Guo Lu stretched out his hand from the railing and took the two cards handed by Li Chen.

Ignoring the driver's expression as if he had seen through everything, he completed a series of prerequisites in a few clicks, completed the Taobao store opening exam, and submitted the certification application for opening an online store, Guo Lu handed it back again.

"Huh?" But after handing it over, he was suddenly stunned.

- Butler!

The butler is actually on the side of the road!

He buys newspapers at a newsstand next door!

After looking far away, after seeing a bridge, Guo Lu squinted, and finally asked the driver to stop: "Just here, stop!" Lichen, pay! ”

"Bang!" The car door opened and closed, Guo Lu got out of the car first, and Li Chen followed closely behind, and also got out of the car with a confused face.

The driver in the car saw that Li Chen was really obedient and paid, so he rolled his eyes in his heart again, and secretly scolded this girl for being as stupid as a pig, and the stupid girl in his heart, seeing the cars coming and going, said, "What are you doing here?"

"Can you go up there? with feet. Guo Lu's attention was not away from the cruise ship on the river, but his hand pointed to the two intersections not far away.

"Definitely not! Don't you see that there are so many cars here? Above is the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, below is the Wuhan Yangtze River Tunnel, even the cars are restricted by odd and even numbers, how can people still let you squeeze inside? Li Chen frowned, not knowing what Guo Lu wanted to do.

"How much money do you have in your wallet?" Guo Lu asked again.

"What's wrong?" Li Chen immediately clutched his bag. Although she has been mysteriously by Guo Lu many times, she has gradually blasted a gap in her mental defense, and in the deepest part of her heart, she still retains a bit of disbelief.

"Alas......" Seeing her like this, Guo Lu suddenly sighed again, stretched out his hand, but guided her gaze and went to another place, "I want to learn to swim, right there, Hankou River Beach Swimming Pool!" ”

"You're all right, right? Right now? It's only March! It's just inexplicable, Li Chen's eyebrows are about to stand up!

"What happened in March? Winter swimming, summer swimming, spring swimming can't work? Didn't you see where people opened? Guo Lu complained, but he didn't care about her, and went straight into the traffic.

"Hey! Oops......"

……

……

Ten minutes later.

Even though Li Chen was very reluctant and unwilling, he still bought a set of blue-black one-piece swimsuits and walked in, with two snow-white grapefruits growing on his chest. Fortunately, Guo Lu has now accelerated the speed of reciting the "Wumen Prayer Sutra" silently, completely controlled his body, and did not let the second brother do anything wrong, or the two "eye brothers" were not willing to give up, which made her eliminate some scruples.
