Chapter 29: Ways to Sell Television
Early the next morning, Fang Bai and his father had breakfast and went to the city together.
When returning, Fang Shi rode a car with Fang Bai.
Fang Bai sat on the rear frame, carrying his father's clothes, watching his father pedal hard, and when he reached the slope, he jumped down.
When I made money, I bought a motorcycle for my father.
Too good motorcycles are reluctant to buy, next time I go to T city to find a way to tinker with a second-hand one, so that it is much more convenient for parents to rush to the city, unlike now it takes at least half an hour to ride a bicycle to rent a house, and it is more convenient to ride a motorcycle at night.
Half an hour later, the father and son arrived at the rented room.
"Son, this house is very good, how much does it cost to rent for a year?" Fang Shi saw his son take the key to open the door and look up to observe the situation on the second floor and the surrounding area.
"360 bucks."
"It's expensive."
"Dad, you have to adapt to these, and you have to think about business with business thinking." Fang Bai opened the door, and the room full of TVs appeared under his father's eyelids, shocking him.
"Oh my God, there really are hundreds of TVs." Fang Shi said and couldn't help but count.
The TV is placed against the wall, which occupies half of the area and is stacked several stories high.
Fang Shi was slightly worried: "Son, can these be repaired?" β
"You can't fix them all, you can just put two together into one."
Fang Bai has long said that he knows how to repair TVs, and from then on, he will slowly show his genius in front of his family.
Even if the family members had doubts, they wouldn't suspect anything too much, and they would attribute Fang Bai's sudden cleverness to an accident.
"Dad, you sleep on the second floor, and there is a bedroom."
Fang Bai took his father to the second floor, he had already discussed it with his family, his father was here to help, and it was impossible to rush back to the village at night.
When my mother is not at work, I can come over, and the family lives together here.
"Son, you get busy first, I'll put my things down first and see if there's anything that can help you."
Fang Shi soon entered the role of working for his son, he can't repair the TV, and he won't toss this business, his son can earn more than 10,000 yuan, he can drum these up, and when he sees the way to make money, he is better than being a father.
As long as it can be repaired and sold, it will return to the capital, but he doesn't understand the specific operation, so he can only listen to his son's arrangement.
Fang Bai wrote a poster on the next floor, and after a while, his father came down from the second floor and said to him: "Dad, we need to recruit a few people to help me repair these TVs now, I know the general problems of these TVs, so I need someone to help me disassemble the TV, it is best to know a little electrician knowledge, I can command them to disassemble and repair."
The salary is easy to say, the main thing is to find people, I want to recruit students from a nearby electronics factory or from Wencheng University to understand related majors.
After a while, the two of us will divide into two ways, you ride to the neighborhood to find out if there is an electronics factory, if there is, put the poster near the factory, do not stick it at the door of the factory, or be scolded.
I went to Wencheng University to put up posters and interviewed in the store. β
"Okay, no problem, but 10 yuan a day salary is too high?" Fang Shi nodded, glanced at the recruitment information on the poster, and felt that the salary given was too high.
"Dad, we're in a hurry now, there are still a lot of second-hand TVs in T City, this TV market is very big, and the money can't be made.
Not to mention ten yuan a day, if you can find talents, you can help me solve this mess, you can let me sit back and enjoy it, I will give you a hundred yuan a day.
Dad, think about it, one person can help us earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, what is a little sweetness for others.
Although a few dollars a day salary can also recruit people, but the lack of ability in all aspects delays us to continue to grow, and also delays my review. β
Fang Bai patiently explained to his father that he hoped that he could understand the key points.
In the next few years, the currency will depreciate rapidly, and wages will rise rapidly, and now ten yuan a day is a high wage, but by 1993, it was very common.
"Well, you have a point."
Fang Shi was a little unacceptable at first, but listening to his son's analysis, it also made sense, and he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf.
After a while, father and son set off.
Fang Bai took a rickshaw to nearby Wencheng University, infiltrated the university, and put up recruitment posters on the school's poster board.
[High-salary recruitment talents: Because our company is expanding its business and seeking talents, we are now looking for a number of students who are familiar with the maintenance of TVs and circuit boards!
Salary: 10 yuan/day!
Settlement on the same day, lunch included, this job can be part-time or long-term.
Note: Only juniors, seniors, and graduate students are recruited.
As a reminder, there is no need for any registration fee, and anyone who asks for an application fee for interviews and registration is a scam company!
Job and interview location: Opposite Oubei No. 1 Middle School......
Contact: Mr. Fangγ
There is no contact number, and there is no company established, but the poster is not wrong to say so, anyway, the company will be established sooner or later.
As soon as Fang Bai finished posting the poster, the students passing by flocked to watch it, and after seeing the content, they talked about it.
"Wow, that's a lot of money."
"It's not much, we enter a good unit after graduation, maybe we will get more than this income."
"It's different, people are just hiring temporary workers, where can we find part-time jobs with such a high salary."
"Working for the private sector, I don't do it anyway."
The monthly living expenses of most students are not high, like the children of rural families, the family gives less than 10 yuan a month.
The state also gives subsidies to college students, however, if they are not normal students, the subsidies are less.
Many students are particularly short of money at home, and there are younger sisters and younger brothers at home who lack money to study.
Now the company can pay ten yuan a day, which solves the urgent needs of most students.
The thinking of students in this era is different from that of later generations, and many students are high-minded, feeling that they will work in the latte rice bowl after graduation, and it is impossible to work for the private sector.
I won't go to death!
What they don't know is that five or six years later, the state began to implement a system of all-inclusive distribution for college students, and by 1998 it had been implemented on a large scale, and by 2000, the system had been completely stopped.
Some students are proud, but some are willing to try.
Not to mention ten yuan a day, as long as it is a few dollars a day, there are still many students who are excited.
Private enterprises come to recruit students and workers, such cases are very rare in Wencheng University, and many students have never seen them.
If the salary can be settled on the same day, and lunch is included, students are not afraid of being cheated.
But the requirements are not low, you have to be able to repair the TV or circuit board.
Fang Bai put up a few posters on several billboards at Wencheng University, then left the university and returned to his rented room.
How to sell TV repairs?
That's a question he's pondered lately.
He thought about different sales methods for TV, such as setting up stalls, opening electrical specialty stores, door-to-door sales, and other different sales methods.
Families who can afford TVs will not be financially bad, and they are more inclined to buy them in regular stores, preferably in an electrical appliance store.
However, it takes money to open a store again!
The decoration of the store also delayed time.
For Fang Bai, spending more money is nothing, the main thing is time.
He thought about it for a while, and felt that the receptivity of the citizens in this era to the stalls was still no problem, and he could try it first, and he could also save some money and time.
If the stall sales are not satisfactory, he can also consider other sales methods.
Perhaps, he was wrong.
