Chapter 11 The Second-hand Market

Chen Village, said to be a village.

It's bigger than a town in the mainland.

Many newly built houses can be seen that the strength of this village is not ordinary.

In the mainland, it is still a wooden house with earthen walls, and the blue brick and tile houses can be regarded as a time of magnanimity.

A villa compound has been built here.

Small two-story bungalows with Marsac tiles can be seen everywhere.

The three of them wandered around the village and found no less than ten factories.

Some make clothes, and some make furniture.

There is even a dedicated second-hand market.

On a street at the east end of the village, there are more than a dozen stores with open doors, and there are many second-hand items in different categories.

From sewing machines and appliances to lathes and electromechanics.

Just glanced at the traditional Chinese + English labels on it, Chu Qing knew that these were all from Xiangjiang.

From time to time, you can see the shopkeeper packing the same electrical appliances, loading them onto four-wheeled trucks and hauling them to other places.

To be precise, it's more like a transit station. And it's fanfare, and it doesn't shy away from people.

"Pretty boy, baa a point."

Originally, he was just looking at it casually, but it was not easy for Chu Qing to see a white object on a TV.

As soon as he stopped to take a closer look, a proprietress with heavy makeup greeted him.

The proprietress is actually not very old, she is in her early thirties, perhaps due to the influence of the Hong Kong tide, and under the big waves, her makeup is very thick.

There is a sense of roughness that she wants to wipe on her face no matter what, and others will feel embarrassed when they see it, but in her own opinion, maybe this is beauty.

Following Chu Qing's gaze, she also saw that thing.

"If you want to come in and have a look, this is the goods that just arrived today."

With that, the proprietress took the initiative to step forward and take down the thing that looked like a tape recorder.

It's not big, a little smaller than the common dual-speaker recorders on the market. It's a bit heavy to start, about more than ten pounds.

There are only four tape-reel-like parts on the top and a couple of black switches below. Look at the fuselage is all in English, and the most conspicuous thing is the Sony logo on the side.

The upper area is seriously ashed, but you can see that the magnetic head is still in good condition, and it can be used normally if you take care of it a little.

"How much money?"

Learning from the proprietress , Chu Qing also spoke a word of Cantonese.

In the past, in order to sing Cantonese songs, I learned a little bit, and I still knew a few simple short sentences.

The proprietress also knew that the three of them were foreigners, and she also said hello with and without dates.

As for this thing, she didn't know what it was. This came with that car of appliances last month.

It's been more than a month since I put it here, and I haven't made a move. If it weren't for the fact that there was no damage to the body, she would have thought this was a broken tape recorder.

But everyone who does their business knows that it doesn't matter if you don't know it, as long as the customer knows.

And as long as it's all in English, no matter what it is, the price will be doubled several times.

“1500”

As soon as the words came out, Wei Zheng and Xiao Yang beside Chu Qing instantly dropped their jaws in shock.

It's such a thing, and it costs 15,000 to open your mouth. Just looking at this condition, it is much worse than his brother buying that tape recorder for 150. And there are no horns yet.

Xiao Yang, who originally wanted to take it over and take a look, instantly extinguished his thoughts.

If a bad one is broken, it is not enough to sell him.

But what surprised him even more was still to come.

"It's cheaper, if you sell it sincerely, I'll ask for 500."

Chu Qing not only asked for it, but also repaid the price, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for five hundred.

Is it really worth buying such a thing for five hundred?

"Pretty boy, 500 is too low, you see this is a real foreign product, and you can't buy it with money anywhere else."

Originally, the proprietress just offered the price casually, but I didn't expect this kid to really want it.

The two sides went back and forth for a few minutes, and finally closed the deal at a price of 800 yuan.

Chu Qing was not ambiguous, paid for it on the spot, and then carefully put this 1-to-3 Sony ripper into a canvas bag.

The three of them left the store, and Wei Zheng and Xiao Yang both looked at Chu Qing with the appearance of looking at monsters.

Eight hundred dollars said it would be spent. This man's heart is too big.

Several times, the two of them wanted to speak, but seeing that Chu Qing didn't mean to explain, they simply couldn't help but ask.

For this transaction, Chu Qing was very happy.

Originally, I was just casually strolling, but I didn't expect to come across such a good product.

Nowadays, pirated rip tapes on the market are mostly used by the internal recording function of the tape recorder.

As long as you find a good quality one, the recorded tape can be sold on the market.

In this era of lack of entertainment, quality is secondary.

After all, it's still a seller's market, and people buy pirated copies, which are cheaper than genuine copies. So I don't have to worry too much.

As for the cassette, the songs are incomplete, there is noise or something, can it be bigger than the noise of the radio, buy it cheaply for a few dollars, and it doesn't affect listening to the song. What more bikes.

And those pirates who really have access to it, the most used are also German-made 1-in-2, or 1-in-5 recorders.

These are still state-owned cassette factories, and the products that have been eliminated need to be overhauled from time to time.

As for this Sony 1-to-3 ripper, it is not too much to say that it is rare in China now.

After all, this is an import of Nissan.

In this era of imports and quotas, this kind of high-end goods of the book is not necessarily available if the cassette factory has money.

There are only the Xiangjiang River and the coastal areas of Fujian. Some second-hand channels that go to S have the opportunity to bump into one or two.

As for the price of 800 yuan, it is very expensive in the eyes of others, but in Chu Qing's opinion, it is simply a treasure.

Besides, last time I pretended to be a reporter and took a tip of 1,000 yuan from Hanhua. This should be funded by Director Li.

The three of them went around the market again, but there was no second ripper, and Chu Qing also discovered a lot of good things during this period.

For example, the Epson LQ-1600K printer. But after only asking the price, Chu Qing and the three of them turned around and left.

Although the thing is good, the price of 7000 is beyond their reach.

It is no wonder that in such a small village, in just a few years, every family can live in a bungalow.

Whoever calls people has channels.

In these years, there are channels to get goods, and it is difficult to make money or not.

Think about Mu Zhong's canned food for the plane's sassy operation. If you look at this small village, it doesn't feel like much.

As for the one named Wang Wei, just by helping both sides to bring something back and forth, he can make a thing like SF Express, which is worth hundreds of billions in the future, and ordinary people can only look at it.

Anyway, while he hasn't started yet, can he invest in him the year after tomorrow?

Thinking of Wang Wei, thinking of SF. Chu Qing thought of the current national logistics market.

It's a big cake, but if you really want to make it, you'll need a lot of manpower.

After all, the car bandit road rage has not been solved yet, and the logistics can't really be done without manpower.

But now there is no hurry, if the pirated tapes are really done, when the time comes, there will be this sharp weapon to open the way, and then get more people to run the national market, it is estimated that it will really work.

After all, this is how the home appliance industry was rolled out back then.
