After staying in Guangzhou for such a period of time, Zhao Leiming also saw that those businesses were easy to do.

In his eyes, it is better to set up a stall to sell clothes and sell electronic products.

But the two men set up a stall to sell clothes, Zhao Leiming felt a little embarrassed, since this is the case, let's try to do electronic products business.

In Guangzhou in the early 80s, electronic products were basically radios, tape recorders, tapes, and other goods, and most of them were smuggled in.

Zhao Leiming remembered that when he first met Song Qingtian in Guangzhou, Song Qingtian was chased by the police when he went to see someone smuggling.

He thought to himself, these stalls selling electronic products should also be those who smuggle them.

Thinking of smuggling, Zhao Leiming is reluctant to do it, but in this era, if you want to do electronic products business, if you don't do smuggling, there is nothing else to do, not to mention the high price of genuine products, no one sells them on the stalls, and no one believes you sell genuine products on the stalls.

Zhao Leiming thought to himself, as long as I don't smuggle myself, I can buy and sell the goods.

Han Zhong is not involved in business, he does not agree with Zhao Leiming's point of view, and he does not raise objections, now the two of them are looking for something to do, life is stable, and waiting for Gong Daqiang to appear is a serious matter.

The two of them first rented a room, put their luggage away for the time being, and went to the street selling electronic products, asking where to buy them.

Some people want to do the same kind of business, but they don't know the two of them, and the people who sell these electronic products are almost unanimous and don't confide any news about the source of goods to them.

I went around the electronics market twice and didn't get anything at all.

Zhao Leiming didn't expect it to be so difficult at the beginning, and he thought that he was reluctant to do the business of smuggling goods, but even the business of smuggling goods was so difficult.

As the two sat down to rest, a man in his thirties ran over.

"Two little brothers, I seem to have heard that you are going to buy goods just now?"

Zhao Leiming saw that someone was coming to talk, so he quickly stood up and accosted: "Yes, big brother, we want to buy some electronic products to sell goods." ”

The man said, "I have a batch of goods in my hand, I wonder if you can take a fancy to it?" ”

"What's that?"

"There were a couple of tape recorders and hundreds of tapes."

"Can we go and have a look?"

"Absolutely."

The man took Zhao Leiming and the others to an alley, pushed open the door of a dilapidated house, and welcomed them in.

Once seated, the man took out two tape recorders and a dozen tapes from the back room.

The man put the tape into the tape recorder and played the tape to them.

The tape is Teresa Teng's song "He Rijun Will Come Again", with a sweet voice and a clear voice.

Seeing that the tape recorder and cassette tapes were fine, Zhao Leiming asked for the price.

The man said, "The tape costs 7 cents a reel, and the tape recorder costs 150 yuan a piece." ”

"And how many goods do you have?"

"500 tapes, 8 tape recorders."

Zhao Leiming calculated, it all cost more than 1,500 yuan, and he didn't have that much money in his hand at all.

"Big brother, we don't have that much money. Can you get it cheaper? ”

The man thought for a while and said, "It's 1550 in total, so let's do it, I'll count you 1500, and it's a lot of money, but I didn't make money selling it to you." ”

Zhao Leiming asked Han Chong, "Teacher Han, what do you think?" ”

Han Zhong knew that at that time in the mainland, a tape recorder cost more than 300 yuan, and this man's 150 yuan was not expensive, a tape could earn at least more than 100 yuan, and the tape was also 2 yuan a disc in the mainland.

Han Chong told Zhao Leiming what he knew, and the man said to Han Chong with a smile: "This little brother still understands the market very well, you take these goods, and you only make money and don't lose money." ”

Zhao Leiming thought about it, when they were in the market just now, it seemed that the retail price of the tape was also shouted at 2 yuan a plate, but he didn't know what the price of the tape recorder was selling, and when he heard Han Zhong say this, he thought it was still good.

Zhao Leiming immediately thought of the money in his hand, borrowed more than 300 yuan for his salary, plus the bonus of 500 yuan given to him by Wang Song before, he only had more than 800 yuan in his hand, which was not enough.

Zhao Leiming said: "Big brother, I only have a few hundred yuan in my hand, I want to buy less?" ”

The man said: "Little brother, I can tell you, the recent investigation is strict, these goods are difficult to get your hands on, you see that you have been in the market twice and no one has told you that there are goods, right?" I'm the lowest price, and if you don't ask for it all, I won't sell it. ”

Finally found the source of goods, but Zhao Leiming didn't have that much money, and Han Chongxiang didn't want to say: "Leiming, how much less, I have it in my hand, I'll lend it to you first." ”

"This ......"

The man smiled and said, "You two seem to have a good relationship, borrow it first, and pay it back when you earn money." I'll tell you, this recording sells for at least 220 yuan, and one will make 40 yuan. ”

Zhao Leiming thought about it, so he borrowed 700 yuan from Han Chong.

Han Chong's 700 yuan is the salary of more than 100 yuan given by Wang Song, and the other is the money he saved in the army.

After the transaction, the two took their things back to the rental house first, bought some things for the stalls, and planned to sell them the next day.

That night, Zhao Leiming tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, he looked at the pile of things in the house, and his heart was excited.

The first time he did business, he invested so much money, and he was a little worried about whether he would not be able to sell it, but he looked at the situation of the electronic market during the day, and the business should be about the same.

Early the next morning, Zhao Leiming and Han Zhong went to the electronics market with tape recorders and tapes.

The good stalls in the electronic market were all occupied, and the two could only find a place in the corner.

After waiting for an hour, no one cared, and Han Zhong was a little irritable, so he was about to go out for a walk.

When Zhao Leiming was guarding the stall in a daze, a few angry young people came over and surrounded Zhao Leiming.

"Boy, did you come to sell things during the day on the first day?"

"Yes."

"Do you know the rules of the market?"

"What rules?"

"If you don't know the rules, you dare to come to set up a stall?"

Zhao Leiming saw that this group of people was not good, stood up and asked: "I am indeed the first day to set up a stall, and it is also the first time to sell things, I really don't understand the rules of the market, please tell me." ”

"This kid is quite interesting, then I'll tell you, pay the protection fee, 10 yuan a day."

10 dollars a day!

Zhao Leiming thought, isn't this a hooligan to extort money?

"Boy, what are you stunned about! Didn't you hear what I said? If you don't pay it, you will be given two options, first, get out of here immediately, and second, the master likes to smash things the most, and let me smash the things on your stall. ”

Although Zhao Leiming doesn't know how to do business, he has heard that harmony makes money, and he is not familiar with life outside, so he was humiliated and gave them 10 yuan, anyway, he has a business, and he will earn it back soon.

The group took the money and walked away with a hippie smile on their faces.

Han Chong walked around, returned to the stall, and asked the reason when he saw Zhao Leiming hanging his head dejectedly.

Han Zhong became angry when he heard this, and asked if he had only been out for a while, and someone came to bully people.

"Zhao Leiming, are you pinched in the mud? I thought you were a bloody man, but I didn't expect you to be so cowardly! ”

"Teacher Han, we just came here, we are not familiar with the situation, it is nothing to suffer a little crime, we are in business, not quarrels with others, with business, a tape recorder is sold, and we make a lot of money."

Zhao Leiming was worried about Han Chong's temper, so he persuaded him.

Han Zhong asked, "How many things have you sold?" ”

Zhao Leiming shook his head, "I didn't sell a penny." ”

While the two were talking, a customer came to ask for business.

"How much does a tape recorder cost?"

Zhao Leiming replied according to the price that the man who gave them wholesale: "220 units." ”

The customer who asked the price was shocked, "Young man, are you kidding, this broken tape recorder still sells for 220?" ”

Han Chong's heart was on fire just now, and he was annoyed when he heard this customer's words, "Whose tape recorder do you say is a broken tape recorder?" We're new! Don't sell the fuck off! ”

The customer looked at Han Chong's face with anger, didn't dare to speak anymore, and walked away.

Zhao Leiming grabbed Han Zhong and said, "Teacher Han, we don't talk like this when we do business, don't you see business on a sunny day?" She is very polite and soft-spoken to customers. ”

Han Zhong snorted, "Then I don't care about you, you sell it yourself, I won't speak." ”

The two of them sat in the electronic market for a long time, except for a few who asked the price, and left after asking, and did not sell anything.

Zhao Leiming was depressed in his heart, is business so difficult to do? Or is something wrong?

While thinking about the reason, he asked Han Zhong to look at the stall, and he went to another stall to ask the price of the tape recorder.

For the same brand and the same model of tape recorder, people's booths only sell for 130, and they take 150 for their own goods.

Zhao Leiming was stunned, was this deceived?

The purchase price was twice as much as others, and Zhao Leiming suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
