Chapter Ninety-Eight: Returning to Shanping to Raise Funds
"Hehe, it's okay." Zhong Bai deliberately replied to Yu Dongfeng in a serious tone: "Dongfeng, we still need to see and learn a lot to do business, we as sellers must understand the needs of the buyer, and what are the advantages of this product itself." However, now Tiandu's toad mirror must be a seller's market, so it doesn't make much sense to talk about this, the difference is just how much money you make. ”
"A seller's market? What does this mean? Faced with the unfamiliar terms that popped out of Zhong Bai's mouth, Yu Dongfeng could only ask.
"This is complicated to say, and it can be summed up simply that things are not worrying about people buying. In other words, even if we don't use the trick just now, you will definitely be able to sell it if you take it and sell it, but you will lose ten to twenty yuan in profit. Zhong Bai explained in simple terms.
Yu Dongfeng scratched the back of his head, nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Oh, I probably understand what you mean." ”
The popularity of these most basic economic concepts was very low in '81, and high school students basically couldn't get into it, let alone technical school children like Yu Dongfeng who went to work as workers.
But Zhong Bai still told himself that he must instill some ideas in Yu Dongfeng at any time, so that with the subtle effect, Yu Dongfeng can gradually form a set of his own practices in doing business.
After all, after Zhong Bai got to know Yu Dongfeng more and more, especially this time when the other party decisively made the risky decision to buy a new toad mirror alone without being able to contact him, which shows that Yu Dongfeng still has a certain talent in business, and it is also worth cultivating.
Tian Lei did not tell a lie, in order to show his sincerity, he took three hundred yuan and handed it to Yu Dongfeng half an hour later.
"Then hard brother. Within half a month, be sure to bring three new pairs to Tiandu! I'll see you here then, and I'll have to come here every day. Tian Lei threw down such a sentence and walked away with a big grin, without even hitting a note.
If it were placed in 2019, Tian Lei's behavior would be the target of the deception, but it was really not in 1981.
There are not many young people who can take out three hundred yuan in cash in half an hour, although Zhong Bai Yu Dongfeng did not inquire about Tian Lei's origin, and Tian Lei did not do so, but it is obvious that if the other party does not rely on it, it is impossible to give the three hundred yuan to Yu Dongfeng who met for the first time.
However, Zhong Bai himself did not have the intention of defrauding the other party of the three hundred yuan, although he obviously had three pairs of cash in his hand, he did not hand them over to Tian Lei on the spot, and he also had his own arrangements.
After the two returned to the guest house, Zhong Bai made his follow-up arrangements and revealed them.
Zhong Bai instructed: "Dongfeng, you take this money back to Shanping first, I still have to stay in Tiandu for a while anyway, and then I will give Tianlei three pairs of new toad mirrors." ”
"Huh? I thought you asked me to go to Guangfu with the money to buy the goods immediately, why did you want me to go back to Shanping with the money? Yu Dongfeng asked a little puzzled.
Zhong Bai smiled: "Hehe, let you go back with the money to raise funds." By the way, I took the other three pairs of ordinary toad mirrors to Shanping and sold them, understand? ”
Yu Dongfeng's mind didn't turn around a little, he blinked his eyes, shook his head and said, "Fundraising? I don't understand, you can tell me in detail. ”
Sure enough, the economic thinking of people in this era is not advanced enough.
So Zhong Bai immediately explained to Yu Dongfeng why he did this.
Since the first transaction was successful, and it was a success beyond expectations, if it is analogous to a company, it is like it issued blue chips and went public, exceeding market expectations, the first batch of blue chips soared, and the concept was broken.
The most efficient way to do business is not to buy a batch or sell a batch, but when you successfully purchase and sell the first batch of goods, you have to go back and tell your investors, look, I have become, and the profit is higher than promised in advance, so then before I buy the second batch of goods, simply absorb a little more investment funds and expand the scale of purchases, so that the speed of making money will be faster and faster!
It's the same thing when it comes to the toad mirror business, because Yu Dongfeng's principal is not his own, most of it comes from his family's savings, even if his mother is willing to invest more, but the family's savings are limited.
And it takes a long time to run back and forth in Guangfu, and the time period when the toad mirror can be popular is relatively not a particularly long period, so Zhong Bai doesn't want to waste time, and hopes that he will take the money and three pairs of ordinary toad mirrors back to prove to his family that he Yu Dongfeng did make money from a trip, and it was a lot!
After seeing the real money, he can mobilize Yu Dongfeng's relatives and friends to raise money for him, so that when the next purchase is made, the funds will not be hundreds of thousands of yuan, but may skyrocket to several thousand yuan!
The Tiandu market is so big, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhong Bai estimates that at least 50,000 yuan of goods can definitely be sold easily, not to mention that he has already taken the line of Tian Lei, so the kid's energy is still great.
As soon as he said this, Yu Dongfeng immediately realized: "Understood!" You're asking me to go back and borrow money! ”
"What is borrowing money, this is called investing in shares, dividends!" Zhong Bai immediately corrected Yu Dongfeng's concept: "Borrowing money, the corresponding is to repay the principal plus interest, let's do business, let other people's money participate in this money-making business, use money to make money, and the profits earned will be distributed according to the agreed proportion, which is investment shares and dividends." ”
Yu Dongfeng was instantly dizzy by Zhong Bai's new terms, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't say it, don't say it, in short, I understand what you mean, just go back and try to get as much money as possible to buy a toad mirror in Guangfu, right?" So how much are you going to fix him next time? ”
Zhong Bai thought for a moment and slapped him: "Five thousand yuan." ”
"My mom, five thousand dollars!" Yu Dongfeng was a little stunned: "You really think our family is a bank?" If I think about it, even if one family borrows 500 yuan, I have to find ten relatives......"
"Don't worry, people have a herd effect, as long as you say that you move a family, the work behind will be much easier, of course, your family itself has to make a big head." Zhong Bai coldly threw out a new term.
"Yes, I'll do my best to get it!" Yu Dongfeng didn't talk nonsense, since Zhong Bai could put forward this specific number, he must have thought it through, and nodded in agreement.
He now understands Zhong Bai's good intentions, anyway, as long as he follows his steps, he will definitely not suffer!
So, Yu Dongfeng looked at the time, simply went to bed and squinted for a while, saying that when he woke up, he would go to the train station to buy a ticket to return to Shanping tonight, and hurry up to do business.
Looking at Yu Dongfeng, who was lying on the bed for a minute and snoring, Zhong Bai couldn't help but smile.
Willing to endure hardships, obedient, and such a talented person with executive ability, I discovered it like this, cool!
