Chapter 130: The Measure of Law
In 2002, if you wanted to shop online, there was no such thing as Taobao.
However, there is a website from abroad, eBay, which can be used to trade second-hand items.
The payment method used by this website is called PayPal.
In the future, one of the founders of this payment site will become the boss of the electric vehicle industry, known as the real-life version of Iron Man.
However, at this time, everything is still in the embryonic stage of Internet business.
But Kim Jae-ryong can see the future.
Looking at his boxes and boxes of iPods, Kim Jae-ryong did not hesitate to hang these goods on the Internet.
The price of each iPod is 100,000 won, and the second-hand ones are more expensive than the new ones, which may be unbelievable to many people.
However, when an electronic product becomes a trend, even if the price is 100,000 won more, consumers have to bow their heads.
In his previous life, Kim Jae-ryong also made a small amount of money by this speculative way.
But at the time, he chose sneakers, and now it's consumer electronics.
So on a sunny afternoon, in Itaewon, not far from Korea University, Kim Jae-ryong started his career as a scalper in a newly renovated office.
It's just that on the first day, the products he listed on eBay didn't even ask for a price.
Faced with this situation, he was a little disappointed.
However, Kim Jae-ryong felt that instead of sitting and waiting, it was better to take the initiative to attack.
So that night, he took the initiative to call Jin Yaxi.
"I want to thank you for helping me organize my notes, and if I can, I have another thing to ask you, I don't know if you have time at night!"
Asking a female school bully out for dinner, the key is that the family is young and beautiful, and he is completely a ruffian.
This made Kim Jae-ryong feel a little inferior. However, Kim Jae-ryong knows that a girl like Kim Ya-hee, who is studying at a prestigious university, is his best customer.
To Kim Jae-ryong's surprise, there was a slight silence on the other end of the phone, and then there was a happy answer.
Even Jin Yaxi took the initiative to say:
"You saved me last time, why don't you let me invite you to taste the best army pot on our side!"
……
After putting down the phone, Kim Jae-ryong looked at Li Ruzhen, who was cleaning the glass, and said in a good mood:
"Okay, let's go back early today, I've already sold the house you rent now! But I have another place, go back and clean up, and I'll help you move sometime!" ”
"Oh!"
Li Ruzhen is really a diligent girl, and when she heard Kim Jae-ryong's words, she was still busy cleaning up the stains on the glass, so Kim Jae-ryong got up and directly took away the rag and bucket in her hand, and then grabbed her coat and threw it to her and said:
"In two days, I will invite someone to come over and be responsible for cleaning, the company here is about to open, you take the time to go outside to inquire, see if there are any second-hand freezers or the like, you can put a little drink in the refrigerator when you come back, it will be regarded as a free benefit of the company!"
……
After explaining this, Kim Jae-ryong stayed in the office alone, and then counted the inventory in his hand and the funds in the company's current account.
Although hoarding iPods took up a lot of money in Kim Jae-long's hands, he still set aside money for the company's operations.
In the evening, it was reported on the financial news that the supply of iPods in Japan was in short supply, so that there was a long queue outside the Shibuya store.
Seeing this news, Kim Jae-ryong has more confidence in this scalping behavior.
He took the subway to the vicinity of Korea University as promised, waited at the entrance of the university for a while, and it didn't take long to see a familiar figure running towards him.
Seeing this, Kim Jae-ryong hurriedly said hello, and then carefully tucked the gold chain around his neck inside, and then buttoned the neckline.
He didn't want to make any trouble for this girl who treated him well.
"Brother Jin, let's go this way!"
"Okay!"
So the two walked together along a tree-lined road next to the university.
However, when they first met, there was no common topic between the two, which made the atmosphere stiff all of a sudden.
So Kim Jae-ryong thought about it and said bluntly:
"By the way, I've been busy with this kind of business lately...... This is a welcome gift for you! ”
As he spoke, Kim Jae-ryong took out an iPod player and gave it to her.
Jin Yaxi saw that it was the most popular electronic product at the moment, and was stunned for a moment, and then quickly excused himself:
"That's embarrassing, it's too expensive!"
"It's okay, I've bought a lot lately and plan to stock up and sell it!"
"Hoarding? Didn't you say that this MP3 was directly sold by a fruit company? ”
"I mean being a scalper!"
"Yellow ......"
Jin Yaxi looked at Jin Jaelong seriously, and only after a long time did he carefully remind:
"It should be illegal to do this!"
"Ahh Ha ha...... This ......"
"Strictly speaking, it is illegal to increase the price of goods after purchasing them and then resell them, but if it is only an appropriate price increase, it does not constitute a crime!"
Although Kim Jae-ryong has not yet studied the relevant law in cram school, he has used to move bricks with sneakers, so he is still familiar with this aspect of the content.
Hearing this explanation, Jin Yaxi didn't look over her head and smiled embarrassedly.
"I'm so sorry, I'm not too sensitive!"
"Nope! Actually, I want you to help me! But ......"
"It's okay! I can ask you when I get back, and if my classmates are interested, I'll let them find you......"
Someone is willing to help, and Kim Jae-ryong is certainly grateful. So the two came to the army pot shop while talking, and then asked for a copy of the most popular army pot here.
A side dish, a troop pot full of ingredients, two ramen, before eating, Kim Jae-ryong picked up a Qingyang chili pepper and directly opened his mouth to bite into it.
Stimulated by chili peppers, he has a great appetite even if he doesn't drink. And this kind of thing is the army pot, to put it bluntly, it is a large collection of carbs, eat one in winter, and the body is warm, not to mention how comfortable, of course, the taste is actually average.
So, Jin Yaxi asked about Kim Jae-ryong's company again.
"I've just dealt with the renovation, and the next step is to recruit employees, and after handing over to your classmates, our project can be officially launched! However, I was mentally prepared to have no customers at first, so I planned to try it from scalpers first to see if I could let the company survive first! ”
