Chapter 66: Where are the advantages?
The boss immediately replied: "You want to see the goods, right?" Okay, let's put down a deposit of fifty dollars here, and I'll get it for you. ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhong Bai couldn't help but be a little stunned, rub, I haven't said I want to buy it yet, just look at the goods first, and you want me to press a huge amount of fifty yuan?
I have dozens of dollars left over for my travel expenses, but there are still things to do in Tiandu next, and I will drink the northwest wind here and drink the northwest wind later?
So Zhong Bai could only pretend to be stupid and said: "Uncle, where is there so much money on a student who has just graduated, and besides, it's just to see the goods and not to order, and it won't be okay to take a look at it, my uncle will wait for me to finish reading and go to the post office to send him a telegram to report the situation." ”
"If it weren't for your young age, I really wouldn't want to." The boss muttered a little reluctant and said, "Then don't do it yourself when you see it later, I'll just take it and see it." ”
"Okay, uncle."
The boss turned around and took out a large cardboard box from the small room in the back, walked to the door of the store, half-closed the roller shutter door, turned on the light, and then opened the cardboard box, took out a packaged plastic bag from it, and pulled out a new pair of toad glasses, with English labels on them, and placed them on the glass counter.
"Oh, look at it, authentic MD goods, everything is complete with labels." The boss's tone was smug.
But Zhong Bai only glanced at it, and he smiled dumbly in his heart.
What kind of authentic MD goods are these? Before the co-authoring, this boss was full of lies.
The pair of toad glasses I just saw on the face of the young man in People's Square are indeed authentic MD goods, but the pair of glasses in front of me is ......
I saw two English word errors on the label, and then looked at the slight plastic cracks on the temples of the glasses, Zhong Bai was almost 100% sure that this was definitely an imposter that flowed in from unknown countries!
I treat you as a businessman, but you treat me as a Kaizi and use imposters to deceive?
But Zhong Bai's face was silent, allowing the boss to keep fiddling and boasting about the advantages of the toad glasses, and only after the other party had been talking about it for half a minute did he ask coldly: "Uncle, how much is the retail price of this toad glass?" What about wholesale prices? ”
The boss said proudly: "The retail price is 80 yuan a pair, and not a penny less." Wholesale price...... It depends on the large number of small amounts, and also, I don't take credit here, and I will collect the money first and deliver the goods within half a month. ”
It seems that the retail price of 80 yuan a pair that the young man said is not nonsense, but this boss dares to use counterfeit and inferior goods to fool himself into thinking about 80 yuan a pair, it would be too underestimating himself.
Zhong Bai continued to ask quietly: "What is the wholesale price of a one-time purchase of fifty pairs, can it be cheaper?" ”
"Fifty pairs of words......" The boss didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be fifty pairs as soon as he opened his mouth, and he muttered for a moment: "It's good to count you as seventy yuan a pair, but you must collect the money first." ”
Seventy? Sick.
Zhong Bai knew very well that with this kind of quality, Yu Dongfeng could definitely win it at the price of fifteen yuan a pair in Guangfu!
Although I don't know what the purchase cost of this boss is, as soon as he opens his mouth, it is seventy yuan a pair and he must pay in full first, I am afraid that only a fool will agree.
His own information was almost investigated, Zhong Bai deliberately shook his head and said, "This price is too expensive, I guess my uncle can't agree to it...... But thank you uncle today, then I'll go to the post office to shoot a telegram first. ”
After saying that, Zhong Bai turned around and wanted to leave, and he didn't know if the boss heard the dissatisfaction in his tone, and immediately grabbed his sleeve with his hand: "Young man, this business is all about asking for a price to pay back, as long as your uncle really wants to buy the goods, the price can be negotiated again, why go in such a hurry?" ”
Hehe, you take me for a fool, and the key is to use imitations to pretend that I won't leave, isn't that mentally ill?
Zhong Bai gently pushed the other party's fingers away with his hand, and left a faint sentence: "I really want to do business, uncle, why do you want to sell this imitation as authentic goods?" Let's go. ”
Under the boss's stunned eyes and flushed face, Zhong Bai left.
The boss didn't figure it out, and it took him a whole month to learn to identify the quality of the toad mirror, how could this young man who graduated from a technical school look at it twice, and he didn't even touch it to understand it?
"Hey...... I didn't expect to meet someone who knows the goods, and today I was really pecked by the wild goose......" The boss muttered.
Zhong Bai ignored the boss's feelings, and before he got off work in the afternoon, he patiently inquired about the shops selling toad mirrors in the entire Bayi Street.
Of course, it took a lot of effort in the middle, most of the shops were very vigilant, and there were few shops that dared to sell toad mirrors, and Zhong Bai only found three in the end.
Except for one of the goods shown to him that is authentic, the goods of the other two are exactly the same as the previous "Longkou Store", which is an imitation and is forcibly sold as genuine, and the minimum wholesale price is 45 yuan a pair.
As for the authentic goods?
The price is even more high, the retail price is 90 yuan a penny, not to mention, even if it is wholesale, it will cost 85 yuan, and the first time you must give the full amount, at most only ten pairs of glasses for you to wholesale, obviously insufficient inventory.
However, in this process, Zhong Bai saw with his own eyes that someone came to the door secretly and directly paid for the toad mirror, and the transaction was quite refreshing and finished in one minute.
Coming out of Bayi Street, Zhong Bai's conclusion about the toad mirror was also much clearer.
There are only four wholesalers in the huge Tiandu City, and only one of them sells genuine products, and the price is sky-high, and there are still people who come to buy them.
These bosses all emphasized that their goods came from HK, and it seems that the toad mirror not only has a large market demand and few supply channels, but the most important thing is that at least in Tiandu itself, it has not found the shadow of Guangfu goods.
There is no Tiandu City, let alone the Pingyang area below, and even Shanping County.
You must know that when doing business in 1981, what we paid attention to was not the financial strength and the type of goods at all.
This imitation can be taken out and sold at a high price, and there is no shortage of buyers' rhythm, what does it mean?
It shows that the most important thing to do business in these years is where you buy from and whether you have the goods!
Why else is the 80s a golden age for doing business in China? Many big bosses in their previous lives slowly began to make a fortune after they got their first pot of gold by doing a small business in the 80s.
There are a lot of people doing business in Tiandu, but why are there only three shops that sell toad mirrors?
It's because they know where to buy!
But this advantage is not a problem at all for himself, a good young man in Huaguo after being reborn, because Zhong Bai knows very well how much advantage Cantonese goods have in this year compared to HK goods!
Even, he now has a bolder idea!
