Chapter 17: The First Big Order
The more Liang Shui thought about it, the more he felt that buying old things, repairing them himself, and then selling them was a way to make money.
However, his mind was a little lively, but he frowned again, because his thirty-five square meter single room must not be able to hold many old goods.
Do you want to rent a bigger house?
But what if you can't make any money in this business, and you only have a few thousand dollars in it, won't there be no way out?
Alas, there is no risk in doing anything now, it is really not possible, isn't it still possible to maintain the company or work as an engineer in Huaxing Group?
Liang Shui finally made a decision in his heart, but soon shook his head and denied his idea.
This repair system is the high-tech of the future, and if you do some old goods reselling, will it be a bit of an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes, and it will be overkill?
"Xiaoliang, take a look, which monitor you think is suitable and can be repaired, I'll let you buy which. But you can't return it if you buy it, because these problematic things are difficult to sell, and even the maintenance department in the town doesn't want it, so I have to wait for a few more units and take them to Huaqiangbei to try. ”
Chen Youcai took Liang Shui back to his residence, came to a room and spoke, interrupting Liang Shui's thoughts.
Liang Shui was thinking about how to make a fortune, and now he was interrupted by Old Man Chen, and he was originally a little angry, but when he saw Old Man Chen, his eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right, why don't you know how to give up small profits to make big profits?
Why make it all by yourself?
Liang Shui thought about it, and immediately asked with a smile: "Uncle Chen, can you tell me how many old goods you can buy in a month, and how much income you have?" ”
"This, does Xiao Liang also want to do my business? Hehe, you can't make a lot of money, anyway, you can't starve to death and you can't eat enough! Old man Chen replied with a light smile.
"Well, Uncle Chen, don't get me wrong, I didn't want to do this. But I have a thought in my heart, you don't think it can be done. Well, now you know, I can repair the computer, and the repair technology is not bad. In fact, I want to tell you that I can repair not only computers, but also refrigerators, washing machines and other household appliances, as well as cars. I have a plan, can you take some old goods that can probably be repaired, and I will repair them for you, and then get the difference, we will split it half? Liang Shui hurriedly explained.
Chen Youcai patted Liang Shui's shoulder with a smile and said, "Hehehe, Xiao Liang is a business material, and he can find a way to make money in me." I'm going to think about what you're talking about. ”
Seeing this, Liang Shui couldn't help frowning and said, "Uncle Chen, tell me the truth, how much can you make for those monitors outside that you sell for five hundred or six hundred?" ”
"The twenty-one inch one you planned to ask for just now, I will harvest three hundred and five, and I will sell it for at least five hundred and five, with a difference of two hundred. I just asked you for a price of 500, don't you mind, I still invite someone, and the rent of such a big house has to be paid, only earning you 150 is really the cost price. ”
"Hahaha, Uncle Chen, I don't mind, it's just that these problematic monitors, I'm afraid I won't be able to receive them for a few dollars, right?"
When Chen Youcai heard this, he immediately smiled and lightly punched Liang Shui and said, "Okay, you stinky boy, you really know how to bargain, and you fooled me into it again." I'll tell you the truth, I've received these monitors at a minimum of fifty, but the maximum will not exceed one hundred and two, after all, this is risky, and it doesn't have to be taken to Huaqiangbei, everyone wants it. I'm too lazy to bargain with you, if you want one, give me one hundred and fifteen, okay? ”
Liang Shui shook his head and said, "Uncle Chen, you misunderstood me again, I'm settling a simple account for you." Like you said, it costs three or four hundred to collect an old usable monitor, and it can be sold for five or six hundred, and at most it can earn two hundred yuan. But if you can't use it, you only need a few dozen yuan, and after repairing, you can still sell it for five or six hundred, so that you can earn more than five hundred yuan, and half of it with me, you can also earn two hundred or dozens of yuan, and you will have to make dozens of dollars more profit. ”
Speaking of this, he saw that Chen Youcai was still a little hesitant, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Chen, in fact, I have plans to go it alone." But first of all, I don't have the money to rent a wide enough place, even if borrowing money can solve this problem, my supply and customer source is also a serious problem, and like you said, this doesn't make much money, I don't want to spend too much effort on it, otherwise I wouldn't have found you. ”
Chen Youcai thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded this time, but said: "This monitor is relatively expensive, and one can indeed earn dozens of dollars more." But washing machines and TVs are not profitable, and you really make me feel a little embarrassed! ”
Liang Shui responded, lowered his head and thought for a moment, feeling that he was just responsible for maintenance and making some technical money. And Chen Youcai has to go to receive the goods, ask someone to sell the goods, and set up stalls every day, and also maintain a good relationship with the chengguan, so as not to be smashed stalls, a lot of troublesome things to do, and he and he are half divided, which is indeed a bit of that.
"Uncle Chen, why don't you do this, I'll be four and you'll be six, how about it? In this way, you can earn dozens of dollars more. Liang Shui thought of the end and simply made concessions.
Chen Youcai finally felt a little moved, nodded thoughtfully and said, "In this case, I can think about it and discuss it with my friends." But if you can take one more step, I don't need to think about it, and I'll call the shots for them. ”
"Hahaha, so you're bargaining with me? So be it, I'll let you be half of it again, I'll be three five, and you'll be six or five. If you don't want to, I'll go to my classmates for help. Everyone has just graduated, maybe many people haven't found a job yet, I believe that let them partner with me to do some business, they will definitely agree, and then you don't blame me for stealing your business. ”
Liang Shui smiled and made a little concession again, but he was telling the truth.
In fact, when he first wanted to give up small profits to make big profits and was about to find someone to cooperate, he thought about finding the four buddies who were in the same dormitory as him at the beginning.
Liang Shui finally vetoed them, and the reason why he decided to find Chen Youcai was mainly because Chen Youcai had been reselling old goods in this area for a long time, and he had his own source of customers and his own network, and looking for him was equivalent to indirectly using his resources, which could save him a lot of trouble.
Besides, those buddies are all graduates of the Polytechnic University, and they are more or less arrogant, so it is a problem that they may not be willing to come, and the other problem is that it is indeed a bit condescending to let them pull goods and sell goods.
However, this does not mean that Liang Shui does not have a principle standard in his heart, he only takes thirty and a half, which is already his bottom line, Chen Youcai is really unwilling, he really decided to do it himself.
Chen Youcai, an old Jianghu, can also see from Liang Shui's eyes that this is his bottom line, and he will not give in anymore. He thought for a while and said: "Xiao Liang, if you take thirty and a half, the money is indeed not much, but the division model is easy to cause disputes." For example, a monitor, I said that I earned 400, and I only gave you 14 according to the share, and you don't believe me, which will have a contradiction and affect our cooperation. ”
"Oh, what are you going to do?"
"That's what I think, I'm also a person who often runs the maintenance department, and there is a standard price for the maintenance of many things. I buy the old goods, you repair me, I will give you the maintenance fee according to the standard of the maintenance department, which is only equivalent to the business cost of me mentioning you thirty percent, if you want, we will cooperate. ”
"What is the difference between you and me taking thirty and a half?"
"This is not necessarily, it is possible that you will take half of it, or it may only take 20%. After all, some of the things we sell make more and some make less. If you cooperate with me like this, it means that you will lose this part of the risk, and you only need to make a fortune and earn maintenance fees. Well, I'll set a maintenance fee standard for you, because I charge some repairs that can be repaired for you, and I will provide parts for some parts, so I don't consider the problem of technical difficulty, and the maintenance fees for each type are unified, do you want to get it? ”
Liang Shui thought about it and thought it was not bad, so he responded: "Okay, let's do it!" But those who can't make any money and the maintenance cost is very low, you don't have to repair it for me, it's a waste of time to repair it. ”
"Okay, I'll go find a pen and paper to get you a price list." Chen Youcai saw that there was a new way of making money, and he was also happy in his heart, and immediately went to work.
Liang Shui also laughed happily.
Hehe, is this the first big order I found since I decided to do maintenance?
