Chapter 38 The Toad Mirror Business Opportunity

In the early eighties of the twentieth century, Chinese people began to get a glimpse of the outside world from film and television works.

The first thing that catches people's attention is the way Westerners dress and live. Xi Shi frowned, Dong Shi followed suit, imitating other people's clothing has become the fashion of some trendy young people.

In 1980, an MD television series "The Man Below the Atlantic" aired on television, in which the main character, Mike Harris, often wears a pair of toad glasses.

And the poster opened by Yu Dongfeng is the classic image of Mike Harris, the star of the hit series "The Man Under the Atlantic"!

Zhong Bai immediately remembered that in his memory in the early 80s, the "toad mirror" that swept the country was hot!

The leading actor in the play, Mike, has a strong figure, a serious expression, and a pair of toad mirrors, which looks majestic and cool, and has become the object of enthusiastic pursuit by many Chinese young people for a while, and in today's words, he has become Mike's "fan".

The love house and black set off by the star-chasing craze make everyone keen to imitate the idols in their hearts.

The body was given by his parents, although he couldn't make Mike's sturdy figure, but he got a pair of sunglasses on Mike's face to wear, and he had a little fashionable taste.

Therefore, many young people from all over the country tried their best to get a pair of toad glasses to wear, and the toad glasses that people wore at that time had one of the most prominent features, that is, the trademark attached to it could not be removed to show that it was an authentic "imported product" and swaggered through the market, because the two lines of foreign letters on the trademark could satisfy their little vanity.

In fact, there were very few really imported toad mirrors at that time, which were basically imitated by some manufacturers, and the most important wholesale distribution center was concentrated in Guangfu in the southeast of China, a famous city with a thousand-year history of commerce and trade.

Zhong Bai's idea of making quick money is related to the toad mirror!

At present, this drama has only been broadcast for less than a year, and the real fire will not be until 1982, that is, next year.

At that time, almost everyone in the county town who was full of young people already had a pair of toad glasses.

And now? Whoever can get a pair of toad glasses is tantamount to walking in the forefront of fashion!

Time waits for no one, the opportunity is fleeting, if you can get a batch of toad mirrors in advance this year and sell them back, you will definitely make a fortune!

"Hey, why don't you kid speak? I finally got this poster back from my brother, so I can comment on it anyway! Yu Dongfeng saw Zhong Bai staring at the poster in a daze, and immediately shouted at him.

Zhong Bai came back to his senses at this time, and immediately nodded: "Oh, handsome! Handsome! I didn't expect you to like foreign stars so much? ”

Hearing Zhong Bai mention this, Yu Dongfeng showed a proud expression on his face: "You still don't know who this foreign star is, right?" The TV series he starred in has long been popular in big cities, and it is not popular in Shanping County, a place where the machine is broken, look at this shape, how special it is! ”

"That's it." Zhong Bai immediately followed the other party's words, pointed to Mike wearing a big toad mirror on the poster and said, "His appearance mainly relies on that toad mirror!" Whoever wears it looks special. ”

"Isn't that? I heard my brother say that it has become popular to wear toad glasses in the provincial capital, and which young man with a little money is not trying to get a pair to wear? Yu Dongfeng's tone was very envious.

"I see that you worship this star so much, why don't you want to find a way to get a pair to wear?" Zhong Bai asked tentatively.

Yu Dongfeng sighed: "Isn't this expensive?" I heard that it costs 20 yuan a pair, which is almost enough to cover a month's salary! Besides, we don't sell it in Shanping County, if you want to buy it, at least you have to go to the provincial capital. ”

Yu Dongfeng suddenly remembered something: "Didn't you just graduate from the provincial capital, why don't you even know this?" ”

Zhong Bai immediately retorted: "Of course I know! It's just that I don't know if you're okay with this bite. Isn't this star MD's Mike Harris? ”

"Hey, even if you know the goods, you even memorize your name, I thought you didn't understand anything, you could only read books." Yu Dongfeng said with a smile.

Seeing that Yu Dongfeng was a little interested, Zhong Bai immediately introduced the topic: "By the way, didn't you say that the treatment in the factory is not good?" There's a good way to make money here, do you want to hear it? ”

"What a good way, you said, don't hide it." Yu Dongfeng was straightforward.

Zhong Bai immediately pointed to the poster: "Isn't this right in front of you?" ”

"This?"

"Yes, Toad Mirror!" Zhong Bai finally finished the last bite of food, then walked over and pointed to Mike Harris's big toad mirror on the poster and said, "If you can get some of this thing back and sell it now, it is guaranteed to make a lot of money!" ”

"I also know that I can make a lot of money by selling it back! It's easy to say, where to find it? Provincial cities may not be able to buy it, and if you buy it back for twenty yuan, who will pay a higher price to buy it? Yu Dongfeng glanced at Zhong Bai and felt that the other party's statement was unreliable.

"Of course I do." Zhong Bai said in a tricky way: "The problem at the moment is that the purchase requires funds, and someone needs to run it in person, and I can't do either of them." ”

As soon as Yu Dongfeng heard this, he immediately became interested, and asked eagerly: "Zhong Bai, where is it sold?" How much money do you need? If you want someone, I can't just ask for leave and run away! ”

Seeing that Yu Dongfeng really went to the road, and it was not in vain that he said so much just now, Zhong Bai immediately lowered his voice and said.

"I have a classmate, who is from Lingnan, he said that he knows that there are many imitations of toad mirrors in a wholesale market in Guangfu, the price is relatively cheap, and the quality is about the same, there has been overproduction there recently, and there is just no way to find a market, if you want to do this, then prepare the funds, and I will tell you."

Seeing that Zhong Bai said with a nose and eyes, Yu Dongfeng didn't care so much, and immediately pulled Zhong Bai's arm over: "Good brother, I usually treat you well, right?" Just now you have an uncomfortable stomach, I will help you cook, not to mention, but also give you all the Huoxiang Zhengqi water that I treasured to drink, if you don't pull my brother and me to make a fortune, it will not be interesting enough! ”

"Haha, it's certain to get rich, but you don't have the funds to buy now, so it's useless for me to tell you, right?" Zhong Bai said with a smile.

Yu Dongfeng gritted his teeth: "How much money is needed, you say!" ”

Zhong Bai thought for a while: "Of course, the more money, the better, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is time." To earn this money, you must seize the opportunity, and when everyone wants to think about it next year, then you won't be able to make a few. ”

"Let me tell you, my classmate said that the wholesale price of imitation toad mirrors over there is only three yuan a pair, how many you want! As long as you come in and come back, you can sell him for fifteen dollars, which is a full five times the difference! A pair of toad mirrors can earn at least ten dollars! ”

Ghosts, hearing this number, Yu Dongfeng was directly stunned and didn't speak.

Can a pair of toad mirrors make ten bucks?

What is the concept of ten dollars in this day and age?

A first-class worker is close to a month's basic salary!

You know, the station restaurant sells hot meat buns for only a dime a piece!

A bowl of fresh air beef noodles with bright red soup, verdant vegetable leaves, and thick beef, or the super fresh taste with added monosodium glutamate, is only a dime and a half a dime in a bowl!

And you can earn ten yuan by entering a pair of toad mirrors from Guangfu!

Yu Dongfeng immediately began to count his fingers on how much money he could get in the shortest possible time.

"I have forty yuan in my own savings, and if my mother asks my mother at home, I should be able to get two hundred yuan, and according to the wholesale price of three yuan a pair you said, I can get eighty pairs!"

"Eighty pairs of toad mirrors, a pair of ten yuan of profit, that's a full eight hundred! It's almost enough to earn my salary and bonus for two years! ”

Yu Dongfeng said in disbelief.

"Ahem, you kid is too unkind, when you have profits, you will throw my brother and me aside and swallow it alone?" Zhong Bai slowly reminded him: "This supply and marketing information fee, you can't give me a dime, right?" ”
