Chapter 4 Brother, what are you going to do?

Beiyi Lane, a street of Internet cafes.

Chen Yansen sat in front of the computer, slid the mouse, typed a string of characters in the input box, and pressed Enter.

"Hey, this page UI is really old-fashioned. At first glance, I thought it was a pirated product."

Chen Yansen stared at Ali Baba's website and complained with a smile.

At the same time, don't forget to create a new spreadsheet file on the desktop, and then fill in the name of each column in the first row: brand/model/storage capacity/screen size/screen resolution/battery capacity/battery life/supported formats/additional functions/purchase price/minimum purchase quantity, etc.

The next thing is much easier! Just sort the sales of MP3 and MP4 in descending order, put the relevant information into a table, and then select the best products and suppliers.

Of course, this is just the primary.

Ultimately, we have to communicate and negotiate to get the most suitable supply price and settlement method before we can anchor the final supplier.

An hour later, there were only seven candidates left on the list.

Chen Yansen breathed a sigh of relief and planned to go to the bar to buy a bottle of water. Just as he was about to get up, he found that Wang Zihao, who had been guarding the pyramid to fight zombies, was looking at him in surprise.

The emotions in the eyes are so complicated!

"What a damn profiteer! This MP4 is exactly the same as the one I bought for 389. I begged and pleaded and only managed to get it ten bucks cheaper. The original purchase price was only 140."

Wang Zihao pounded his chest with his fists, feeling a pain in his heart.

God knows how hard it was for him to save that money!

"This is the price the factory uses to deceive individual customers. The actual wholesale price will only be lower."

Based on his experience, Chen Yansen stabbed again hard.

"Fuck!"

Wang Zihao was completely numb and just wanted to go home, grab a kitchen knife, and kill the profiteer.

Chen Yansen ignored him and walked straight to the freezer next to the bar and took out two bottles of ice spring water.

By the time he came back after paying the bill, Wang Zihao had calmed down.

"So, you plan to resell MP3 and MP4?"

"Um."

"But No. 1 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School, and No. 3 Middle School are all on holiday. Who should we sell it to?"

"Mr. Ziren said that there is a lot of potential in the vast rural areas. There are 22 towns near Chunshen. Even if a market only sells 100 MP3s and 20 MP4s, can you calculate how much money we can make?"

After Chen Yansen finished speaking, he casually opened a bottle of mineral water and drank one third of it in one breath.

As August approaches, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The damn Internet cafe owner sweats even when the air conditioner is on in order to save electricity.

He deserved to go bankrupt later!

"Brother Sen, you just talked about us, so you will definitely take me with you to make money, right?"

Wang Zihao licked his face, full of flattery.

"Confused! What should you call me?"

Chen Yansen patted Wang Zihao on the shoulder, a sly smile on his face, with an expression that said 'you should understand'.

"Godfather, I will follow you from now on!"

Wang Zihao was shameless. He clasped his hands together and bowed skillfully.

"My son, please get up quickly."

Chen Yansen smiled and lifted up Haodaer's arm.

“But we don’t have the money!”

Wang Zihao slapped his forehead with a "pop" and reminded him in a slightly impatient manner.

He looked at Chen Yansen's form and found that the factory with the lowest minimum order quantity required 3 units. All the belongings they had were not enough to buy a few units. How could they resell them?

"I'll take care of the money."

Chen Yansen is full of confidence.

Before he met Wang Zihao, he went to the bank machine to check the balance of his bank card, and found that there was more than enough money to prepare the goods.

"Are you trying to steal Uncle Chen's money?"

Wang Zihao's eyes turned and he instantly understood the source of his confidence.

"How can something between father and son be called stealing?"

Chen Yansen had no intention of hiding it from him and told him frankly.

After all, Wang Zihao is not a fool. Based on the total amount of goods, the other party can easily calculate the purchase amount.

"How about we not make this money?"

Wang Zihao said cautiously.

Although the plan seems to be sound, there is no way to do business without risk.

Once discovered, Chen Yansen would be hung up and beaten by his father.

"You support me if I don't make money?"

Chen Yansen rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily.

A man cannot live without money for a day. If he doesn't have tens of millions in his hands, he won't even have the confidence to eat abalone.

“It’s not impossible.”

Wang Zihao grinned and lowered his head shyly.

"You bastard! Two things. First, give me two thousand dollars tomorrow and I'll give you a share of this business. Second, help me find a warehouse. I don't have high requirements. A 20-square-meter warehouse will do."

Chen Yansen waved his hand and explained seriously.

"Well, I only have two hundred dollars on me."

Wang Zihao rummaged through his pockets and said helplessly.

"Brothers should be clear about accounts. If you have capital, I will consider it as your share. If you don't have it, just follow me and I will pay you 100 yuan a day. It's your choice between the two paths."

Chen Yansen said bluntly.

It’s true that the two of them are good friends, but he is not Wang Zihao’s biological father. Even if he gives him the opportunity, it depends on whether the other party can seize it.

"Okay, I understand."

Wang Zihao opened his mouth, his face slightly embarrassed. He wanted to say something but held it back. Finally, he nodded heavily in agreement.

Although he understood what Chen Yansen meant, he could not accept such straightforward words.

Seeing this, Chen Yansen smiled and ignored him.

Young people are thin-skinned, but if they can figure things out on their own, they will be able to reach a higher level in the future whether in business or in social interactions.

"Hello, boss. I am the purchasing director of Zhoulai Garment Factory. I plan to purchase 10,000 MP3 players and 3,000 MP4 players. Can you give me a special quote?"

Chen Yansen turned his head and typed a line of words on the keyboard. Then he copied and pasted the message and sent it to seven suppliers in one go.

The Zhoulai Garment Factory does exist, but these days, small town businesses below the third tier mainly rely on offline orders from the surrounding areas and have no awareness of the Internet at all. The landline telephones that are connected to the Internet were abandoned eight hundred years ago.

Supplier verification is costly and difficult!

What's more, as long as his money and orders were real, who would care about his identity? Chen Yansen was naturally very familiar with fooling these factory-born sales representatives.

You just need to set traps in your sales talk in advance, and you can find out the other party's commission steps, account bottom line, additional discounts, and whether they can give away memory cards, headphones, etc.

Wang Zihao, who was standing by, couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his friend constantly switching chat windows and bargaining skillfully.

'The parameters of your product meet the requirements, but the price is slightly high. If you can reduce it by 8 yuan, we will give priority to your company and consider increasing the order quantity.'

'If the unit price of MP4 can be reduced to 100 yuan, we can purchase them in packages. The total amount is expected to exceed 600,000 yuan. Will it be convenient to apply for a more favorable package price?'

"We prefer cash payment and spot goods, no delay in payment, fast capital turnover. If the unit price can be reduced to less than 105 yuan, you can pay the deposit today to lock in the order."

Wang Zihao felt that Chen Yansen was bragging a little too much. His face felt hot and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Do you think they will all believe it?"

Chen Yansen glanced at him and spoke with a smile.

"Then why do you still say that?"

Wang Zihao touched the back of his head and felt a little itchy.

“In business negotiations, the most important thing is not your strategy, but understanding the other party’s needs.”

"When we were in the first year of high school, the cheapest MP3 player cost more than 300 yuan, and an MP4 player cost more than 800 yuan, which was comparable to the price of a mobile phone. What about now?"

Chen Yansen put down the mouse and asked back in a flat tone.

"An MP3 costs about 150 yuan, and the cheapest MP4 costs more than 300 yuan."

Wang Zihao frowned and tried hard to recall the prices he saw while sweeping the streets.

"What does this mean? With the scale of production and the reduction of raw material costs, the prices of products such as MP3 and MP4 will only get lower and lower. The electronics factories in Guangzhou and Shenzhen are located in the first-tier cities, and the competition and survival pressure are even more terrible."

"If it's a bone without meat, even if it has a hint of meat, they will rush over to smell it."

Chen Yansen chuckled, quite confident.

“I’ll do it!”

After listening to Chen Yansen's explanation, Wang Zihao was fooled by his several professional terms and immediately felt that this business had great potential.

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

Just then, a nimble figure came into their sight.

Chen Yansen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl of about thirteen or fourteen standing behind Wang Zihao.

She is about 1.68 meters tall, much taller than her peers. She is wearing a blue and white T-shirt, with short furry hair falling on her shoulders. She has an oval face, peach blossom eyes, fair skin with a light pink hue, and a teardrop mole faintly visible under the corner of her eye, making her very recognizable.

Her nose is small and straight, the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, and her eyes are full of bright stars.

The underage version of Wang Ziyan!

Chen Yansen subconsciously stood up and ran away, fearing that the girl in front of him would take out a ring at any time and force him to get married and get a marriage certificate.

"Mouse, see you at the same place tomorrow."

He walked all the way to the door of the Internet cafe before turning around and shouting.

"Brother, don't you think Chen Yansen is a little strange today?"

Wang Ziyan stood there in a daze, looking suspicious.

"He! There's something wrong with him. Let me tell you..."

Once Wang Zihao started talking, it was like pouring beans. He complained about everything except the business between the two of them.

After learning that Chen Yansen and Zhou Keyuan had "broken up", Wang Ziyan's eyes lit up and the complex emotions hidden in her heart suddenly emerged.

Looking at the receding figure, Wang Ziyan silently clenched her fists, a faint smile spreading from the corners of her mouth.
