Chapter 98 (72) Everything is silent
"Bastard!" Keitaro Sugisaki's elbow slammed against the counter, and the hand holding the cup kept shaking. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info@,
He looked at the banner spread outside, his face turned blue, his lips turned white, he figured out why the little white man asked the price of the electronic watch just now, it turned out to be like this, it was really scheming.
"Humph! An electronic watch that can play video games? I'm going to see how much you can sell. Boss Sugizaki roared angrily.
The customers in the store looked at the owner of Sugizaki in surprise, and the clerk in charge of shopping guide hurriedly drew the customer's attention back to the product.
Before you know it, it's past ten o'clock in the morning, and although the weather is slightly cold, today is the weekend. There are still many people who choose to take advantage of the holidays to wander around and buy some of the goods they need.
Not many large household appliances were sold, on the contrary, small gadgets such as electronic watches and electronic calculators were selling well. After all, a family of large household appliances needs one or two, but electronic watches can be one or two people.
Nick's stall happened to be at the door of Sugizaki Electric Store. When there were two or three kittens before, it didn't matter, but after setting up the banner written by Polly, it objectively cut off the passenger flow of Sugizaki Electric Store.
Ten units were sold in ten minutes, and the boss of Sugizaki pinched the time with anger and counted the sales of electronic watches that could play video games.
The sales volume per unit of time seems to be on the rise.
The scariest thing is that the queue has begun.
You know, queuing has a very terrible effect on sales. It is precisely because of this incomparable magic that many stores have limited time rush sales from time to time, artificially creating queues.
Tsuyoshi Akagi, a famous Japanese sales psychologist, once said, "Whoever can make consumers line up will control the market." Although this sentence is an exaggeration, it does show the importance of queuing.
But as long as there is a herd mentality, the more people in line, the higher the quality of the goods. Since the thing is so good, then I have to buy it too, which is almost a subconscious thinking pattern imprinted in everyone.
"You really have a way, writing a line of words has such a big effect, are you a little bit of stone-to-gold." Liu Jianhong took a break and praised Nick.
Hearing the praise, Nick's heart did not fluctuate much. He lamented the power of intelligence in his heart, and at the same time, he also launched a small self-criticism in his heart.
Obviously, Huaxia Factory has provided such sufficient intelligence support, but it has not made good use of it. If I hadn't walked around Sugizaki Electric and saw an electronic watch, I wouldn't have remembered it.
He remembered the rest of his life when he insisted on having the time display function, and remembered his disapproval at the time, and suddenly felt ashamed.
He once again admired the rest of his life, who was obviously not well-informed and could even be called closed, but he had such a clear insight into the market.
"We don't have much stock, I think we should go back to the warehouse to get a batch." Qu Xiaobo said.
Nick didn't respond immediately after listening to Qu Xiaobo's words. I thought about trying the water on the first day, but who would have thought that it would sell so well today. I didn't bring too much "Catch the Ball", I brought a total of four boxes and 400 units.
"Count how much is left." Nick said to Qu Xiaobo.
After Qu Xiaobo left, Nick turned to Polly and said, "I want to trouble you, can you help write a few more words." Write the word 'left' and then write three pairs from zero to nine. Well, at the end, I would like to write 'Game watches are hot'. ”
Polly still didn't say much, still only said the word "good".
"One hundred and sixty-four left." Qu Xiaobo said.
"Got it. You're holding cardboard from a cardboard box and wire. Nick gestured to the court's scoreboard.
"Hmm......" Qu Xiaobo watched Nick dance for a while before he suddenly opened his brows, "I know, I know, I'll do it." ”
Nick looked up at the six orphans in the midst of his busy work. Compared to the gloomy expression on their faces yesterday, they are much more optimistic today.
They made such changes because yesterday they felt that they had no hope for the future and that the future was dark, but today they feel that there is hope, and with hope, life can be better day by day through their own efforts.
Nick clenched his fists and worked hard to create opportunities for more people to have a chance to change their fate.
It took Polly about ten minutes to finish all the words.
Nick put two people in charge of the sales, and the rest of the people started hanging the newly written banners, and after hanging them, they began to maintain order and deal hands to everyone in line.
Nick threaded Polly's numbers into wire and hung them on a counting board made by Qu Xiaobo. Then, for each "catch" sold, ask him to flip the numbers once, subtracting the number from the counting board.
He walked up to the two orphans who were slightly better at Japanese and were in charge of sales, and instead of asking them to speed up, he told them to slow down.
Nick didn't come to Japan to open a retail store for game watches, no matter how much retail stores sell, wholesale sales are king.
This is the reason for hanging a banner to attract investment for game watches, and the long queue of people in front of you is the best advertisement for store owners.
Although Sugizaki was angry an hour ago, when he saw the growing line, he immediately threw his anger on the island of Java.
In business, he has been thinking about how to hook up with the young man outside the door for an hour, and get a batch of their gadgets to sell in his shop.
When he saw the hanging banner, his whole body trembled like a sieve, and the fat on his stomach spread out layer by layer like ripples.
He felt unusually cool, just like a person who looked for a toilet for three hours when he was dreaming, and woke up feeling that his bladder was about to explode, went to the real toilet, and let go of the sluice.
He put on his mink coat, unbuttoned, and trotted to Nick's side with his little belly exposed.
He said in a sincere and humble tone, "Are you looking for a partner?" Sugizaki Electric is a good partner. ”
Nick looked at Kentaro Sugisaki, listening to Polly's translation, with a smile on his face, he pouted to the side Nunu, and then said, "Please go over there and wait for a while, and then we will discuss cooperation with you." ”
Boss Sugizaki looked in the direction of Nick Nu's mouth, and when he saw that it didn't matter, his nose was almost crooked. He saw that sixty percent of the bosses on Electric Street were all over there.
These guys, who usually have a bit of activity in the streets, run faster than Western reporters when they see an opportunity to make money.
When Keitaro Sugizaki looked over there with a crooked nose, the owner of another electrical appliance store trotted over to Nick.
Boss Sugizaki had always been at odds with that boss, so he snorted in a nasal voice and turned his head towards the phalanx of bosses over there.
Nick said a few words to his later boss and told him to go there and wait first. Then, look at the bosses standing over there, they are polite and modest at the moment. It looks exactly like the image of a Japanese person I heard in the United States.
"The wholesale price is 40 US dollars, 10,000 yen per unit." Nick knew that there was no end to the greetings, and directly stated the conditions.
"The price is 12,500 yuan?" One boss asked.
Nick nodded, "Well, twelve thousand five hundred yen." ”
"The wholesale price is too high, where can you have such a high wholesale price? Even Casio's electronic watches have a wholesale price of 70%. ”
"Eighty percent is not high, and I think our gaming watches sell well. It's not even 3 p.m. yet, and all the 400 gaming watches we brought with us are sold out. Excuse me, bosses, whose electronic watches do you have sold 100 units today? "/Pig/Pig/Island/Novel
With the long queue before, Nick was very confident when he spoke.
Will the wholesale price of $40 give in? Yes.
Can you give in? No.
Previously, it was profitable for Huaxia Factory to export "Catch the Ball" to the United States at an FOB price of 30 US dollars, and the wholesale price in Japan could naturally be lower than 40 US dollars.
However, it is not possible to make concessions on price so quickly. Giving in to wholesale prices right away would make these shop owners delusional about getting more.
What's more, now Huaxia Factory is also indirectly responsible for the sales of game watches in Japan. The Japanese Huaxia Trading Company, which was established in partnership with the orphans, is responsible for this matter.
According to expectations, for every game watch sold, the Japanese Huaxia Trading Company will have a share of the selling price, that is, five US dollars.
The retail price of fifty dollars, minus the profit of ten dollars from terminal sales, minus the five dollars of Huaxia Commerce, is still thirty-five dollars.
Of the 35 dollars, 30 dollars is the same as the previous wholesale price in the United States, and the remaining 5 dollars is the cost of shipping the ship.
In other words, the original $30 per unit sent to the United States was FOB, and now $35 is the CIF price.
Of course, the real cost of maritime logistics cannot be as exaggerated as five dollars per unit, but the significance of the former Parkinson's Trading Company and the current Japanese Huaxia Trading Company is also different.
The former belongs to another family, while the latter belongs to one's own. If game watches can be sold to all of Japan in the future, then the logistics cost in Japan will come from the five dollars of Japanese Huaxia trade.
If it were possible, Japan Huaxia Trading would even organize its own delivery fleet, after all, there are still so many orphans in Japan who have not been resettled.
However, after calculation, it seems that the cost of doing so is too high, and the probability of implementation is not very high.
"No, we don't accept that." The boss who had just spoken said.
"I don't accept it either!"
"The price must be reduced, otherwise we will not accept it!"
The owners of Akihabara Electric Street soon joined forces. With many years of business experience, they have seen many stores that lose both sides because of price reduction.
After a long illness, they became a good doctor, and over time, they established an organization called the "Akihabara Electric Price Committee" to set retail prices in a unified manner.
As for the purchase price, there is no uniformity, after all, each has its own supernatural powers in this regard. The channels are different, the relationship is different, and the price of the goods is different.
It's really unified according to one standard, and none of them are comfortable.
They don't seem to be too close to Nick when he first arrives and the shopping street. Naturally, a temporary offensive and defensive alliance was formed, competing for more interests.
Nick looked at the bosses who seemed to be fighters, not panicked by their magnificence, he smiled slightly, and showed the killer weapon that had been prepared a long time ago, "We can distribute the goods first, and then collect the money." You sell it and give us money, and if you don't sell it, you can return the goods to us, and you don't have to pay anything. ”
The bosses were silent when they heard Nick's words.
Cash flow is a terrible thing for a store operation.
If you don't have enough cash, even if you have a lot of goods in stock, it's almost waiting to die. Because, without cash, it means that there is no ability to resist risks, and there is no opportunity to seize.
Nick could see from the faces of the owners of the appliance shop that they were hesitating and wavering.
In the collective silence, a minute, two minutes passed.
"I want it!" Suddenly, there was a shout, breaking the peace.
It was Keitaro Sugisaki, and he said loudly, "I want a thousand units, anyway, don't pay first, sell one and earn one, why don't I?" ”
"Sorry, we have limited stock, we can only give you a maximum of 100 units at a time, and we can only replenish you if you sell them." Nick said.
This model of goods before payment is risky, in case the buyer does not spend money at one time and runs away with a large amount of goods. As long as this sales model is adopted, the risk is not avoided, and Nick uses Kentaro Sugisaki's words to control this risk within the range of 100 units.
"I want it!"
"I want it too!"
Boss Sugizaki is like an anthill on a thousand-mile causeway, and after he opened his mouth, the previous alliance collapsed in an instant.
The street owners are scrambling like a flood water gushing out of a burst of the levee.
Nick took out the contracts that had been prepared long ago and handed them out to every boss present. After a while, after reading the contract, the bosses signed and signed one after another, and every day the Japanese Huaxia Trading Company will officially supply them.
Nick held a large stack of contracts in his hand and glanced at Keitaro Sugisaki. Boss Sugizaki blinked imperceptibly in response.
It's all in silence.
"Dad, it's okay." Yu Sheng asked, Yu Tiecheng, who had just walked into the house.
Yu Tiecheng's face was a little tired, he took off his cotton coat and hung it on the clothes hanger and said, "It's okay, it's just that our actions on the Japanese side have been discovered." Some people questioned whether we were going to export revolution, and I used to explain that all this was just a commercial activity, and it would be fine. ”
Japan's society was a hierarchical society, and after a difficult recovery after the war, Japan's sixties and seventies were a golden age of rapid economic development. (To be continued.) )
