Chapter 35 Becoming Famous on Xiushui Street
Li Sanbiao: "You are just pretending to be poor! You made a fortune without getting out of here! If you have any secrets to making a fortune, tell me about it!"
Heizi chuckled: "What we earn is all foreigners' money. How we earn it, I won't mention how shabby it is."
Li Sanbiao: "Getting rich is a good thing, but now I'm worried that I can't find a rich person! Come and take a look at this!"
Li Sanbiao showed off several electronic watches for Heizi to take a good look at.
"Ah, this watch is so beautiful, and the screen is in color!"
Heizi was immediately amazed and grabbed it and looked at it over and over several times.
Looking at other watches, I feel that they are elegant or noble.
"Heizi, we are acquaintances. It doesn't matter what style this watch is, whether it's a hundred in color or a fifty in black and white, you can have as many as you can, and then help me call other people in the market to get some!"
Heizi took out a fashion watch made in Xiangjiang and another Japanese watch, compared them, and said: "I don't understand the inside, but the appearance and workmanship of your watch are much better than theirs! However, Xiangjiang's watch is much better than theirs!"
You can get a watch for more than 20 yuan at Gao Di Street, so you can make it cheaper!"
Li Sanbiao said in surprise: "Didn't I pay thirty last month? The price dropped fast enough!"
Heizi said: "No, the price is one per day now, but we haven't lowered the price here!"
Several people discussed it and concluded that this watch would definitely be easy to sell, and it was reasonably expensive. The final price was 35 yuan per piece, which was 15 yuan cheaper than Li Sanbiao expected.
This means that for 50,000 yuan, he has to sell 1,500 yuan of watches. It turns out that he thought 1,000 yuan was enough.
I have to give the investment money to Ren Chengfei the day after tomorrow. There is nothing to say. Let Heizi find someone quickly.
At this time, the market is vast, and it has not developed to the point where colleagues in the industry are enemies. On the contrary, they often work together to defraud foreign customers.
So at least on the surface, the vendors in the market are warm to each other.
A lot of people quickly gathered around, and even the old woman who ran the cigarette stall came over to watch the fun and wanted to get involved.
There were also several fierce and beautiful stall owners who looked at Li Sanbiao boldly.
These clothes sellers have already made a lot of money. If each person buys twenty or thirty clothes, there will be no problem in terms of funds.
However, they still have doubts about whether it will sell well.
A beautiful stall owner said quickly: "Brother Biao, you don't want to hear this. People don't like the big steel diamonds in our Shanghai market. Can you buy this? Why don't we sell one first and give it a try!"
I’ve only heard of people going to coastal cities to buy parallel-imported electronic watches, or buying watches from abroad and bringing them home to show off.
There are even some people who insult the national dignity by begging foreigners for watches on the street, which makes people blush!
I have never heard of foreigners coming to buy domestic watches!
Of course Li Sanbiao was confident. By chance, a foreign man with a big belly came over and hugged a foreign girl who was seventeen or eighteen years old.
A group of vendors pointed and pointed: "The little hag looks like a doll, this foreigner is really lucky!"
Li Sanbiao said: "Heizi, just these two people!"
Heizi greeted: "Hello, Smith!"
The foreign man said enthusiastically: "Hello, Xiaohei! I'm here to buy clothes. Is there anything suitable for my daughter?"
Heizi took a pair of jeans and said, "What do you think of this one? It has a perky butt! It goes with this watch, it's so cute!"
The foreign girl has no interest in jeans, but she fell in love with this watch at a glance and played with it seriously.
"How much does this watch cost?"
Heizi pointed at Li Sanbiao and said: "It belongs to this gentleman, ask him!"
The foreign girl smiled sweetly at Li Sanbiao and asked in an inviting manner: "Handsome man, if I buy it, how much will it cost?"
Li Sanbiao watched her words carefully and saw how attentive she was. He wanted to retaliate harshly first and said: "It's not expensive, 150 yuan!"
The foreign girl and the father had exaggerated expressions and yelled in unison.
Li Sanbiao felt that it was expensive and said: "Is this price feasible? Do we need to discuss it again?"
The foreign girl blinked her eyes and was very satisfied. She gave Li Sanbiao a hundred dollars and stuffed it into his hand.
Then he hugged Li Sanbiao and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you, you are willing to give up such an expensive Vacheron Constantin... Well, I also like a Rolex! Can you give it to me?"
"My name is Mary. I live in Room 303 on the 4th floor of Jianguo Hotel. Come to the hotel to find me in the evening!"
Uh...
Rolex?? I just painted a mark on it casually! Instead of painting it as Vacheron Constantin, why not paint it as Casio?
This foreign girl is serious!
Li Sanbiao was also unexpected and agreed; "Okay, okay! We'll see you in the evening!"
Everyone was shocked.
This foreign girl seems to be throwing herself into my arms! How shameless!
Everyone was not fools. After discussing for a while, they guessed the truth.
This foreign girl must know better than us!
Could it be that this watch is more valuable than I thought?
After the foreign girl left, Heizi quickly walked up to Li Sanbiao and said: "Biaozi, you've made a date with the foreign girl! Give me a few more watches like yours, and I'll have to make a foreigner my girlfriend! Beier
Have a face!"
Li Sanbiao solemnly warned: "You can only use this trick once. When people find out that we are a fake, they will have to fall out with you! Also, I can tell you, I heard that there is a disease popular in foreign countries that can kill people!"
Li Sanbiao knew it all too well and said: "I know, that's called AIDS!"
Many vendors rushed forward to buy, fearing that Li Sanbiao would take advantage of the situation to raise prices.
Li Sanbiao still sells for thirty-five yuan a piece. Even here, the majority of customers are domestic. It is impossible to be so lucky every time.
The aunt who set up a cigarette stall also wanted to be fashionable and sold watches along with her, saying: "Brother, I don't have much money on hand. I can buy a watch for ten yuan and pay it with cigarettes. Can I sell it?"
When doing things in Sijiu City, you have to have a good reputation. In front of so many people, how could Li Sanbiao not agree and be more tolerant?
That’s it!”
How could the aunt at the cigarette stall take such a big advantage? But if she didn't take advantage of it at all, she wouldn't be able to make friends, so she returned to the stall and handed four imported cigarettes.
"Biaozi, Auntie has taken advantage of you!"
Li Sanbiao took a look and saw that what he was given was really foreign cigarettes, a 555, a Marlboro, and a soft and hard box Hilton, all of which were common in the market price.
He knew well that a box of 555 and Marlboro cost ten yuan, a Hilton hard box cost five yuan, and a soft box cost four and a half. These four cartons of foreign cigarettes were worth 300 yuan.
The four pieces added up are cheaper, but not too much. The key is that even if you have money, you can’t buy this thing!
Throughout the 1980s, foreign cigarettes were more expensive than Huazi, and gifts were more convenient.
Li Sanbiao was smiling all over his face: "Hey, these are good cigarettes. I have to come in with you tomorrow!"
Everyone started making noises, and a female vendor shouted:
"Auntie, you are so unreasonable and partial. Why did you say it was sold out when we bought it from you?"
Li Sanbiao spent a long time with the vendors, talking and laughing, and told them the location of his wholesale store, and he would just come and buy it himself.
He also sold goods in the name of the manufacturer, describing Zhao Qing and Feng San as the manufacturer's authorized agents.
In the end, a total of 55,000 yuan worth of watches were sold. If there were not enough watches, they would go to the sales department to pick them up from Zhao Qing tomorrow.
After leaving Xiushui Street, Zhao Qing and others were very happy. This was an opportunity to make a fortune.
But Li Sanbiao's heart sank, thinking that the wholesale price of electronic watches in Xiangjiang had dropped, which showed that UMC seemed to have further reduced chip costs and increased shipments.
