Chapter 193: Buying the Marlboro Market
After Zhu Xiaohua thanked the driver, he asked him to go back.
He and Jia Ting got out of the car, and Zhu Xiaohua walked straight to the film wholesaler last time with a large satchel. The owner is busy in the store, and there are mountains of goods piled up in front of the store.
These goods come in a variety of ways, including camera lenses, spare parts, batteries, photographic paper, and most importantly, film.
Five boxes of brightly colored film are prominently displayed on the counter at the entrance.
Labels are attached to the bottom of the box that read: Fuda Film, Koneda Film, Fujifilm, Lucky Film, Kodak Film. The wholesale prices of these five types of film are thirteen eight, seventeen, nineteen, eight, ten, and twenty five.
Lucky film is domestically produced and has the cheapest price among these similar films.
In terms of quality, these films are much the same, not much different. The final photo effect depends on the photographer's photographic skills, printing techniques, and the quality of the photographic paper.
Zhu Xiaohua preferred Lekai film, and he targeted the wholesale price of ten yuan.
Last time, I bought two hundred boxes of film from here, and the wholesale price was eight dollars and a half. Compared with the wholesale price at that time, it seems to have risen a little.
The boss and the guy recognized Zhu Xiaohua at a glance and greeted him.
They were all impressed by this young customer who didn't talk much and asked for a lot of goods. The guy was also driving to deliver the goods to the guest house at the time, so he was even more familiar.
The boss said, "What do I need to buy today?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "Film is still needed. ”
The boss was shocked: "Those two hundred boxes of film are not enough?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua shook his head: "Not enough." I want to buy more this time. ”
The boss looked embarrassed: "Unfortunately, there is a bit of a shortage of film now, and the price just increased yesterday afternoon." ”
Zhu Xiaohua took a closer look at the film label at the door, and the boss didn't tell a lie. This price is indeed slightly more expensive than the previous days.
When they first came in, they also noticed that the wholesale stores in the neighborhood had also raised the price of film.
But since he came, Zhu Xiaohua didn't plan to back down because of the other party's price increase.
He asked, "How many rolls of film do you have in the store?" I'm going to buy two thousand boxes. ”
According to the memory in his mind, Zhu Xiaohua knew that the opportunity to make a fortune for the first time in his life was about to come. Two thousand boxes of film were far from enough, but with limited funds, he could only buy as much film as he could.
The boss and the guy looked at Zhu Xiaohua in surprise, two thousand boxes of film, almost 48,000 pieces of film, which means that more than 40,000 photos can be taken. They can't imagine that anyone needs to take such a large number of photos in this day and age.
The boss kindly reminded him: "Isn't this film a little too much?" If you can't use it up, or you can't sell it out, then it's all in your own hands. ”
He wanted Zhu Xiaohua to buy less goods at a time.
There are only more than 800 boxes of film in his store, which is far from meeting Zhu Xiaohua's needs.
Zhu Xiaohua put a satchel of money on the counter, opened the zipper, and said, "I brought a big satchel money today, but I didn't want to bring it back, I want to buy it all into film." Boss, you help me figure it out. ”
The boss saw that Zhu Xiaohua was resolute, and his satchel was full of dark green unity banknotes, and he was a little moved.
He nodded and said, "I'll figure it out for you." ”
The boss told the man to gather all the peers in the Marlboro market, and all those who sold film came to his shop to discuss the supply plan.
After more than ten minutes, all the wholesalers who had film sales in the store gathered at the door.
The boss's surname is Lu, and two wholesalers came over, and Lao Yuan shouted: "Lao Lu, I heard that there is a big order, and your goods are not available, right?" ”
Boss Lu nodded: "The goods he needs are not a little bit, so I have to ask everyone for help." ”
A total of 12 wholesalers gathered in front of Lao Lu's store. Everyone sat on three benches, looking at Zhu Xiaohua and the banknotes on the shoulder bag on the counter.
Zhu Xiaohua said: "I have 20,000 yuan here, and I plan to change it all into film." Let's see how much film we can supply, and by the way, make a price. ”
Lao Lu is the largest wholesaler in the Marlboro market, and he has the most goods, and Zhu Xiaohua buys from him.
Naturally, he was the first to bid.
Lao Lu said: "I can supply 800 boxes of film, the price, give you seven yuan per box, what do you think?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua looked at the wholesale price on the counter, where the wholesale price was written at ten yuan. This Lao Lu directly gave a reserve price of seven yuan, which was much cheaper than the price on the counter, and it was also a lot cheaper than the eight yuan and five last time.
Lao Lu started, and others also bidd.
"I'll give you two hundred boxes, and the wholesale price is eight yuan."
"I'll sell three hundred boxes, and the wholesale price is eight yuan."
"One hundred boxes, eight pieces of five."
"Fifty boxes, eight pieces of five."
Everyone scraped together, and only 1,800 boxes of film were scraped together, with a total price of more than 12,000 yuan.
There are still more than 8,000 dollars left to spend.
Zhu Xiaohua simply let go and said: "All brands of film can be granted, everyone has film, let it all out." ”
Film in this era is not the hottest and in-demand goods, not many people can afford film, and everyone generally does not have a large number of domestic products. The most sold is the low-priced Lekai film, and other brands are more expensive and have relatively few stockpiles.
Lao Lu said: "I still have 100 boxes of Fuda, Konida, and Kodak films, and 30 boxes of Fujifilm rolls. There are a total of three hundred and thirty boxes, which are sold to you for ten dollars per box according to the purchase price. ”
High-priced film was not easy to sell, and three wholesalers, who had been pressing the goods for more than half a year, also stood up and demanded that their goods be emptied, a total of 120 boxes, all of which were sold at 11 yuan per box.
"I have three brands of film, fifty boxes each. Ten dollars will be given to you. ”
There are also several wholesalers who plan to switch careers to selling TVs, and they have also decided to empty all the film in their hands. They also supplied Zhu Xiaohua with the goods at one time according to ten yuan.
In total, Zhu Xiaohua got another 800 boxes of film, with a total price of more than 8,000 yuan.
At this time, the entire Marlboro market was sold out by him.
Even Lao Lu, the largest wholesaler in the market, has no film in his hand.
After the supply plan was discussed, the twelve wholesalers went back to prepare the film. These people prepared the goods, and after Zhu Xiaohua and Jia Ting went to inspect the goods, they were sent to Lao Lu's shop.
Lao Lu asked the men to prepare the vehicle and load the checked film into the car box by box.
After a while, the blue Dongfeng truck was full of yellow cardboard boxes.
The encapsulated film rolls are piled up on the car in rows according to different brands.
Half an hour later, 26 boxes and 2,600 boxes of film were loaded onto the truck.
Zhu Xiaohua paid one by one, until the entire satchel bottomed out, and after calculating all the accounts, there were still more than 900 yuan left in the satchel.
Zhu Xiaohua shook his satchel and said, "I didn't expect the Marlboro market to be out of stock." I have 900 left over from my 20,000 yuan. ”
Zhu Xiaohua bought goods in a big way, which quickly caused a sensation, and many people came to watch.
