Chapter 49 Cooperation
A girl of about fifteen years old came out of the square, came to Gu Yin's stall, looked around for a while, and asked, "Do you have these here? Do you have MP4 players?"
Gu Yin stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What does Sister need an MP4 for? Is it for reading novels, watching TV, or listening to music?"
The girl smiled and said, "I brought my younger sister here to learn dance. I saw that you sell electronic products here, so I wanted to buy an MP4 player for my sister to download dance videos so she can learn from them."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about that. MP3 players don't have that function," Gu Yin said regretfully. "I'm sorry, sister, we don't have that here. We only have MP3 players, tape recorders, and radios."
The girl was a little disappointed. Her family wasn't well-off, and after enrolling her and her sister in extracurricular classes, they had to cut back on everything. Her sister couldn't keep up with the others, who could continue practicing at home after class, but they didn't have an MP4 player, so there was no opportunity for her to review what she had learned during the day. She smashed her piggy bank, which she had been saving for a long time. She had originally planned to take her sister to a store to buy one after her get out of class, but they didn't have any electronic items on sale when they arrived. It was such a pity.
Seeing that she was reluctant to leave, Gu Yin thought of something and waved her over, calling out, "Sister, come here for a moment!"
The girl turned around and looked at Gu Yin with a puzzled expression. When she saw Gu Yin beckoning, she stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Sister, I have a new, unused MP4 player that I can sell to you for only 180 yuan, but I have one condition." Gu Yin said, taking out her MP4 player and handing it to her.
The girl reached out and took it. Seeing that it was a full-screen MP4, her eyes lit up: "What do you want? Tell me!" This would cost 380 in a store, 250 in a small shop on the street, but she only charged 180 here! What a bargain!
Gu Yin smiled and said, "You've seen it too, we're selling these things. You often go around this cultural center, so if you help us promote these to the students, we'll give you one yuan for each radio and recorder you sell, and two yuan for each MP3 you sell. Of course, whether you sell them or not, I'll sell you the MP4 anyway. How about it? Consider it a winter break job."
The girl frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay! I'll go now. How long will you be setting up your stall?"
"We'll be leaving at 12:30 noon!" Gu Qingming quickly said.
The girl nodded and handed the MP4 to Gu Yin: "I'll buy it when I come back!" Then she ran towards the cultural center.
After the person had walked away, Gu Qinglang frowned: "Didn't you need that? What will you do if you give it to her?"
“Isn’t there another one? You don’t need to give that one to Ahua, Ayin can keep it for herself!” Gu Qingming said with a smile.
Gu Yin shook her head: "If she can bring people later, we can go to the county to sell some more this afternoon. The remaining goods might be sold out in a few more days on the street. Are we just going to wait until the holiday to sell them?"
Gu Qingming exclaimed in surprise, "You still want to go and buy more goods!"
Gu Yin blinked innocently: "Why not? Who said we only do business once? As long as the New Year isn't over, we'll keep selling! If we run out of stock, we'll just go get more! Isn't that normal?"
The group fell silent for a moment, exchanging glances. To be honest, they had never considered ordering more stock. Even now, they were still worried about not being able to sell what they had brought back. Good heavens, Ah Yin was already thinking about ordering a second batch! She really dared to dream!
Gu Qinglang scratched his head: "Don't think about these things now. Let's go back to the county this afternoon and see how things are going!"
Gu Yin smiled and said nothing more. She was confident that she could sell them all in the county that afternoon.
By noon, they hadn't sold many radios, but they had sold 15 tape recorders.
As soon as the clock struck twelve, people began to come out of the cultural center. Gu Yin and the others kept their eyes on the area, and it wasn't until around 12:30 that they saw the young girl bring nine people over.
Seeing so few people, Gu Shu was a little disappointed: "People in the city don't like these things. It seems that only MP4 players and above are attractive to them. Sigh."
The Gu brothers were a little disappointed, but Gu Yin was fine. She knew this would happen before she came here, and she figured she would sell whatever she could.
The girl ran over with a few people. Seeing that Gu Yin and the others were still there, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you had left. Sorry for being a little late. We were collecting the list, so we are late!"
Upon hearing the list of names to be collected, Gu Yin's eyes lit up: "It's alright, it won't take up much time."
The little girl nodded, then reached out to the nine people and asked for the list: "These are the names of the class leaders of seven tutoring and extracurricular classes. They've collected the spots. Take a look, and if there are no problems, get the goods sorted out."
Gu Yin took the list. The English training class wanted 30 tape recorders, the dance class wanted the remaining nine MP3 players and 10 tape recorders, and all the other training classes wanted tape recorders. Not a single radio was sold.
With just this one transaction, after selling some of the tape recorders on the bus, the remaining 150 tape recorders were also sold out.
Those people counted the money and then gave it to Gu Yin. Gu Yin handed it to her father and then gave the MP4 to the girl. The girl happily gave the money, and then Gu Yin gave her 168 yuan as a share.
The girl took the money with bright eyes, and then distributed it to the other people according to the amount on the paper. In the end, she received 84 yuan.
Seeing them dividing the money, Gu Yin couldn't help but laugh: "You asked them to help you find people too?"
The girl nodded: "I only got this idea when I saw you were looking for me! By the way, you're still selling?! If you are, I'll help you find someone else later!"
Seeing her serious expression, Gu Yin smiled: "Of course I'll sell! Here's the deal: I'll leave you my phone number. You can find people first, and once you've confirmed how many, we'll come here to deliver the goods in five days. How about that? The price will remain the same. Of course, you can also recommend MP4 players, like the ones you have. We also have MP3 players with screens that can display lyrics and read novels. Those are priced at 140. I'll write down the price list for you. I don't care how many you sell or buy, just give me the price I'm offering."
Upon hearing this, the girl quickly pulled Gu Yin aside and whispered, "I'll sell it!! Don't look for anyone else. I can do it all myself! Really! I'm the head of the organization department of our school's student union, I know a lot of people! A lot of people in our school want to buy MP4 players, but they're too expensive in the city! I'll tell them I'm doing a winter break job, and if we sell them at a lower price, they'll definitely buy them! It's settled then, I'll contact you on the fourth day, and you can bring the goods over on the fifth day!"
Gu Yin shook her head: "You need to contact me on the third day. We still need to arrange the goods. I'm afraid we won't have enough time then. Anyway, we'll continue until the Lantern Festival. After the Lantern Festival, we'll stop. The factory will close down then too."
The girl nodded and said, "Okay! By the way, my surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Shiyi!"
"My name is Gu Yin." After saying that, he gave her his contact information and a price list.
Xiao Shiyi put the note in her bag, waved to her, and then went back with the others.
