"How should I talk to my boss?"

"Sorry, boss, I'm from the same hometown. I haven't been in the city long and I don't know the rules."

Please forgive me.

Despite A-Chang's obsequious smile, the man seemed unconcerned, simply waving his hand and picking up the cassette tapes on the counter to examine them closely.

Achang was also constantly helping to explain things from the side.

"The boss has a good eye."

"Contra and Super Mario Bros., these just arrived."

"And there's also 'Tank 1992,' a new film from this year, which just came back in the last couple of days."

Using the light, the man repeatedly examined the laser logo on the cassette casing, seemingly trying to determine if the cassette was genuine or not.

Achang couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the man's serious expression.

Just you wait and see!

Just you wait and see!

If you can spot the clues, I'll give it to you for free.

To be honest, during the years he's been in Huaqiangbei, the cassette tapes he sells are second to none in Huaqiangbei.

Not only was the original casing replaced, but the game loading logo was also replaced, and even the motherboard inside was re-polished and engraved with the genuine serial number.

Let alone customers, even publishers like Sony, Nintendo, and Capcom wouldn't be able to tell it's a counterfeit if they took it apart.

After checking it over, the man placed the cassette on the table.

How much is this?

They've taken the bait!

Achang couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"The boss looks like someone who knows our industry."

"This is an authentic cartridge, no exaggeration, I'll give you a fair price, 210."

"If you're going wholesale, I'll give you an even lower price, 170!"

The man looked surprised.

"So cheap?"

Achang seemed to be used to this, and he used the same old rhetoric.

"This is made in Taiwan, and it's no different from the original. It's just cheaper because no customs duties were paid."

"Moreover, this batch is the factory's leftover stock, so it doesn't have the original packaging, but it's definitely genuine."

"We also have the original factory-sealed ones, but it will cost an extra 50."

The man nodded slightly, then pulled the beautiful woman away from the counter and went to the outer area to talk.

Seeing the two walk away, A-Chang lowered his voice and gave Chen Sanshi instructions.

"Wait a minute, show him some of the packaged goods from the back."

"This guy is pretty shrewd."

"We need to set a trap for him."

Chen Sanshi nodded and glanced at the cassette tape on the table.

The price is 170?

Are you kidding me? The original retail price is 420. They come to Huaqiangbei to do business, not to do charity.

Don't let their small counter fool you; they have a complete supply chain behind the scenes.

In Futian Village, not far from Huaqiangbei, there are still people from Achanggu who produce cartridges and game consoles day and night.

The cartridges were purchased as blank cartridges, and they installed the games themselves, essentially engraving serial numbers. The cost price was only about 5 yuan.

I'll get a genuine case and order a batch of packaging boxes from Dongguan; it won't cost more than 20 yuan.

For items that look like they're in original packaging, you have to pay an extra 50.

They can turn around, unpack the package, and stick on a "Do Not Tear" sticker, thus making over 50 yuan for free.

With this quality, it's absolutely indistinguishable from the real thing. Even knowledgeable people wouldn't be able to tell it's fake unless they take it home, take it apart, and examine it closely.

Yesterday, a customer from Dongbai even ordered 100 units from them.

A short while later, the man returned to the counter and took out a wad of cash from the package.

"You're fine."

"I plan to order 20 units and release them on the hour."

Upon hearing this, A-Chang and Chen San-Shi were overjoyed and were just about to praise the man when they saw him wagging his finger at them.

"However, I can only pay upon delivery."

Upon hearing this, A-Chang and Chen Sanshi felt a chill run down their spines.

They do business in the SEG Market, which mainly involves swindling and cheating, so they are still quite vigilant about this aspect.

Achang immediately smiled apologetically at the man.

"Sorry, boss, we only deliver goods after you pay."

"Besides, if you need such a large quantity, we won't be able to release the goods all at once."

"How about this, you buy two units first, and I'll let you know when more are in stock."

The man hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Okay, that's settled for now."

"Get me three Famicoms."

"I'll take one first, and the remaining two can be sent directly to me."

"I'll pay you back when everything is fine."

A-Chang smiled broadly and quickly brought over paper and pen.

"What is your surname, boss?"

My surname is Lin.

"Hey, Mr. Lin, I'll have our people ship the goods to you tomorrow. It should only take two days at the earliest."

The man nodded, wrote down his address, and left a deposit of 500 yuan.

After the man left, Achang picked up the address the man had just left behind and frowned.

Chen Sanshi also came over from the side.

"His accent doesn't sound like it's from around here."

"Why are the goods being shipped to Changle County?"

Achang also felt somewhat puzzled by this.

When he first left the village, he also worked at sea in Changle for a while. Generally speaking, it's much easier to do these things at sea in Changle.

Why bother coming here and going through all that trouble to buy his machine?

But then Ah Chang thought about it again. The man was so generous and had such a beautiful mistress.
