Chapter 453: On sale
Pang Xuelin's money from the Xiangjiang underworld boss was first handed over to Huang Zaixing, and after being laundered by him, it was transferred to Pang Xuelin's name in the name of buying shares of Transwarp Technology Company.
Therefore, Mu Donglai was not surprised by the tens of millions of extra funds in Pang Xuelin's hands.
It's just that I feel a little emotional, Pang Xuelin can gather so much wealth in such a short period of time.
Early the next morning, Pang Xuelin accompanied Mu Donglai's father and daughter to take a plane from Xiangjiang to Chang'an.
In September, Chang'an Jiaotong University opened one after another, and Mu Donglai was going back to school.
As for Mu Qingqing, after staying at home for one night, the next day, he and Pang Xuelin embarked on a journey to report to Lancheng University.
After the two went through the enrollment procedures, Pang Xuelin stayed in Lancheng for another two days, and then went to the principal's office to continue to ask Xu Baiqing for leave.
"What, you're going to take a leave of absence again?"
In the office, Xu Baiqing looked at Pang Xuelin and couldn't help frowning.
Some time ago, he heard Chen Wenyuan say that Pang Xuelin made a lot of noise in Shencheng, and even opened a company.
This made Xu Baiqing a little worried.
In Xu Baiqing's view, with Pang Xuelin's talent, he can completely find his own path in academics, so he doesn't want Pang Xuelin to put too much attention on miscellaneous matters.
But now it seems that things may not go as I wanted.
Xu Baiqing frowned, and said bitterly: "Xiaopang, the school is a big stage, you have just entered the school, with your talent, it is time to recharge yourself with peace of mind, at this time, putting too much energy on some affairs outside the school may not be beneficial to your future development." β
Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Principal, I understand what you mean, I will always study the courses at the university level, didn't we say it before?" The school doesn't interfere with what I do outside, as long as I get a score below 90 in one of my final exams, then I can go back to school with peace of mind. β
Xu Baiqing couldn't help but laugh and said: "But you have to stay in school for a month or two, otherwise those teachers won't know you." β
Pang Xuelin said helplessly: "Principal Xu, otherwise, I will donate 50 Star Ring CVDs and 50 TVs to the school for multimedia teaching, and the school can record its own teaching CDs for students to watch, and I will donate 1 million to the school to support the school's scientific research." β
Xu Baiqing glared and said, "Stinky boy, you still want to buy me with money?" Our Lan family has a great cause, is it rare for you to break the money? β
Pang Xuelin spread his hands and said, "Principal Xu, then I can't help it, anyway, I have already booked the ticket and will leave tomorrow." β
"!" Xu Baiqing waved his hand at Pang Xuelin and said, "Fifty CVDs and fifty TVs, one million RMB, don't give me a debt!" β
Coming out of the principal's office, Pang Xuelin saw Mu Qingqing coming up with an eye-catching big brother.
"Qingqing, what's wrong?"
"Brother Pang, Brother Liu just called, saying that Xiangjiang is ready, just waiting for you to come over."
Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned, laughed, and said, "Give me the phone, and I'll talk to him." β

10 September 1993.
Xiangjiang, Yaliao Street.
Since the fifties and sixties of the last century, the unique form of street stalls on Apliu Street has emerged. At that time, when Hong Kong's economy was just starting and the people's living standards were not high, many people would sell their dilapidated electrical appliances at home on Apliu Street to earn a dime and a half cent.
At that time, the "goods" sold were unbelievably strange, including old shirts and shoes, old dolls, old books and old toys, and the old electrical appliances that most people know, which were actually very high-tech!
In the 70s, Apliu Street gradually became familiar to the public outside the district, and apart from the stalls that set up their stalls, some vendors who had earned enough capital or had ancestral shops in Apliu Street had gradually "set up shops". After entering the shop, most of them mainly sell electronic parts, which generally refer to rechargeable batteries, various connection wires, various plugs, circuit board parts, etc., so they attract more people engaged in the electronics industry or electronic enthusiasts.
In the 10th century, the economy of Xiangjiang took off, and the audio became a high-end gadget for men, and the audio industry of Yaliao Street developed rapidly like a thunderbolt on the ground.
Today, Apliu Street has long been famous for its sale of affordable electronic parts, second-hand and parallel electrical appliances, attracting many locals and outsiders.
Bang bang bang β
Early in the morning, the fat guy was woken up by the sound of banging on the roller shutter door.
"Who's it, it's early in the morning, and it's not open yet!"
Although the fat guy said this, he still pushed away his wife, who was also full of fat around him, got up from the bed, and went down the narrow stairs to the store downstairs, opened the roller shutter door, and saw two men with dyed yellow hair and studs standing at the door.
Fat guy Guang hurriedly smiled and said, "It turned out to be Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, haven't I already paid the faΓ§ade fee this month?" β
The tall gangster at the head laughed, patted the fat guy Guang's shoulder and said, "Dead fat guy, I'm not looking for you to collect faΓ§ade fees, we're sending you money this time!" β
"Send money?"
The fat guy couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Apliu Street was originally the site of the 14K letter pile, since the letter pile boss died on the woman's belly last month, the letter pile was in a mess, and he was caught off guard by the people of He Shenghe, and suffered heavy losses.
After He Shenghe came over, he was easy to talk to, and he didn't cause any trouble to the merchants on Yaliao Street, at best, he changed the object of paying protection money every month.
But whether it's 14K or Heshenghe or Xin Yi'an, for so many years, the fat guy has never heard of paying them money, how can there be a reason for these old boys to send money to merchants.
For a moment, the expression on the fat guy's bare face couldn't help but become vigilant.
Brother Cheng seemed to see Fat Guy Guang's worry, patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the carton box under his feet and said with a smile: "Fat Guy Light, do you see it, this is what I gave you." β
"Brother Cheng, this ...... What is it? β
Brother Cheng smiled: "Go in and talk, this thing is a good thing, by the way, do you have a TV in your store?" β
"Yes, yes!"
Brother Cheng glanced at the little brother beside him, and the little brother picked up the cardboard box and went straight into the fat guy Guang's shop.
Subsequently, the two opened the cardboard box and took out a beautifully packaged rectangular box from inside.
"Transwarp CVD, this ...... What is it? β
The fat guy looked at the handwriting on the box and said curiously.
Brother Cheng smiled and said, "This is a good thing, you will know later." β
Soon, the younger brother took out the contents of the box, which was a boxy, somewhat similar to the LD laser DVD player, but much smaller than the laser DVD player.
The younger brother skillfully connected the CVD to the TV with a cable, turned on the TV, and set it to video mode.
Then, he pressed a button on the CVD, and the sound of a buzzing electric motor sounded, and soon, something that looked like an optical drive appeared inside.
"This is, CD player?"
Fat guy Hikari said curiously.
Brother Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, you haven't seen the good things yet." β
With that, he took out a CD from the handbag he was carrying, put it in the optical drive, and then gently pushed it, and the optical drive retracted.
Soon, in the TV, two white flowers appeared, as well as a heart-warming gasp sound.
"I'll take your mother!"
The fat guy was dumbfounded.
As a business operator of electrical products, Fat Guy Light realized the power of this CVD for the first time.
The fact that you can play the picture on a disc means that the cost of the disc is extremely low, and the cost of viewing it from the outside of the CVD is not much higher than that of the LD laser disc player.
Not to mention, CVD can even play three episodes.
This kind of artifact, even if it is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, some people buy it.
"Brother Cheng, this ...... How much is this CVD? β
Brother Cheng smiled and asked the fat guy Guangdao, "How much do you think it's worth?" β
Fat guy Guang was not worried about Brother Cheng coveting what he was doing at this time, and suddenly recovered the shrewdness of a small trader, pondered for a moment, and said: "This machine can be said to inherit the advantages of LD laser disc player, and avoid the shortcomings of laser disc player, ordinary laser disc player, the price is generally above 8000, and the price of disc is also forty or fifty, so there must be the price of a laser disc player." β
Brother Cheng suddenly laughed and said: "If the price is 6,000, and you will receive five copies of the kind of disc I just showed you, and five of them are movies that were released in the previous two years, and for each one sold, you will be given a commission of 500, are you willing to sell it?" β
"Yes, how unwilling!"
The fat guy's eyes lit up all of a sudden, how could he miss this kind of good thing.
Brother Cheng smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll give you five, this box is full, remember to be in the most conspicuous position in the store, work hard to sell, after selling, remember to find me to pick up the goods!" I won't settle the payment with you now, and I'll pay me back when you sell out. If you want to pay the bill, you should know the consequences! β
"Don't worry, Brother Cheng, I will never repay the debt!"
The fat guy nodded and sent Brother Cheng out of the store, and saw his fat wife trembling and walking downstairs.
"What are these two people doing in the streets? I don't think I'm going to ask for protection money again. β
The fat guy laughed and said, "Wife, what do you want, they are here to send us money!" β
"Send money?!"
The wife looked at the fat guy in confusion.
The fat guy remembered the picture he had just seen on TV, turned around and reopened the roller shutter door, and the thief smiled: "Wife, I'll show you something good!" β
β¦β¦
At the same time, a similar scene occurred in nearly 100 shops of all sizes on Apliu Street, and almost every store got a few Star Ring CVDs.
So in the next day, almost all the customers who came to Yaliao Street to buy things were pulled by the vendors to recommend such a new product.
At first, most of the customers were reluctant to do so, but when they saw the contents of the disc, they were more willing to pay for CVD.
A day later, on the balcony of the presidential suite of the Peninsula Hotel, the first day of sales of CVD appeared in front of Pang Xuelin.
"A total of 168 units were sold, 6,000 units, excluding the manufacturing and transportation costs of 1,000, 500 vendors, 500 errands for the promotion of the younger brother, and the net profit of 4,000 per unit, that is, in one day, we transferred 672,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is converted into nearly 750,000 RMB!"
Liu Fatzi stood in front of Pang Xuelin, and his eyes were almost red.
This money-making speed is comparable to that of a money printing machine.
This is the first day, and the Shencheng plant is currently operating at full capacity, with a daily output of 50 units, as long as sales can keep up, the market prospect of CVD is simply vast.
Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "Lao Liu, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, isn't this just the beginning?" Take your time, let's do a good job in production, the output in Shencheng has to be expanded, at least to more than 100 units, according to this trend continues, our current reserve of 3,000 units can not support too long. β
"Okay, I'll go back tomorrow to focus on production and ensure the supply of products here in Xiangjiang."
Pang Xuelin nodded with a smile, and said to Huang Zaixing, who was sitting on the other side: "Mr. Huang, you have worked so the disc side, if the CVD market wants to rise, the support of the film source must be indispensable." β
Huang Zaixing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pang, my group of foolish people are now highly motivated, this thing is coming too fast, it is not less than them selling powder, and it is safe, not afraid of being arrested by the police at all!" β
Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "That's good." β
The idea of buying CVD and getting three episodes free was proposed by Huang Zaixing.
And it doesn't infringe copyright at all.
Because under Huang Zaixing's hands, there are two filmmaking companies.
The three episodes of the discs that have been sent out so far are all films of Huang Zaixing's company.
Over the next week, CVD shipments grew rapidly.
On the first day, one hundred and sixty-eight units.
The next day, two hundred and two.
On the third day, two hundred and forty units.
β¦β¦
A week later, the daily shipments of Apliu Street exceeded 300 units, and the total shipment reached 1,400 CVDs, with total sales reaching 84 million.
After deducting various costs, the total profit reached HK$56 million.
In other words, in just one week, Pang Xuelin earned back the cost of CVD with interest, and it was far exceeded.
And Transwarp CVD has also officially made a name for itself in Xiangjiang.
Of course, this kind of reputation is not too good.
After all, Transwarp CVD can be so widely popular, and the three episodes have a lot of credit in it.
But gradually, CVD's movie viewing function and karaoke function were quickly discovered by users, which made Transwarp's reputation spread rapidly, and more and more guests took the initiative to go to Apliu Street every day to experience CVD.
At this time, Pang Xuelin's other propaganda means was also officially launched.
20 September 1993.
Local media in Hong Kong, such as Oriental Daily and Sing Tao Daily, have reported on the bizarre scene that happened on Yaliao Street in the past week, claiming that a VCD video player independently developed by China has been widely welcomed by Xiangjiang electronics enthusiasts, selling more than 1,000 units in a week, with total sales of more than 80 million.
