"Oh, it's hard for everyone."

Su Xuecheng put down his wine glass and sighed.

He was a regional dealer, purchasing PHS phones directly from manufacturers. After receiving the goods, he would sell them not only himself but also to other small stores in the city.

A few days ago, when Xiaolingtong was the hottest, it was sold out easily. Every time Su Xuecheng went to the factory to get the goods, he had to queue up.

In the end, in order to get more goods, you have to use connections and give gifts, and after getting the goods, you don’t have to worry about selling them.

That's really making money with your eyes closed.

The Su family was also one of those who developed rapidly.

However, with the prosperity of the mobile phone market, the number of PAX users has increased.

Manufacturers have a large backlog of goods that cannot be shipped, so they can put pressure on the distributors. As a distributor, Su Xuecheng can also ship goods to major stores as much as possible.

The payment method has also changed from paying first and then receiving the goods to paying a large sum of money first, and then settling the rest after the goods are sold and the funds are returned.

This is where the problem lies.

Those stores received the goods but were unable to sell them, and they did not have any extra funds and could not transfer them to Su Xuecheng.

Since Su Xuecheng couldn't get the money back, he naturally couldn't settle accounts with the manufacturer.

The manufacturer still owes money to major upstream suppliers.

In the end, it turned into a dispute among multiple parties.

After listening to Su Xuecheng's explanation, Lin Wanxiu simply put the chopsticks in her hand on the table.

I'm not in the mood to eat anymore.

"We still have to pay the manufacturer. If we don't, they will stop supplying us tomorrow."

"If I can't collect the money from my side, I can use my personal savings to make up for this."

Lin Wanxiu was a little depressed: "In the end, my family became the victim. After working so hard, we didn't make any money, but we even lost a lot of money."

Su Xuecheng smiled and consoled him, "It's not that exaggerated. In fact, I made some money. I didn't lose any money."

Lin Wanxiu glared at her husband and said, "Does making a few tens of thousands of yuan count as making money? Don't you think about how much money we put into it?"

Su Xuecheng smiled bitterly, "There is no business in this world that is always successful. We made money easily in the beginning, but now we are in trouble, so we have to make as much money as we can."

Lin Wanxiu said with emotion: "Xiao Chen was right back then."

"The PHS market is really going down. Compared to the previous few years, it's like we've been working in vain."

Chen Fan picked up the bottle and poured a glass of wine for the old man, then pondered.

"In fact... this is an inevitable result."

"People's lives are better now, and mobile phones are not as expensive as before. Many people can actually buy a mobile phone if they grit their teeth."

"As a result, the PHS market will shrink further."

"Compared with mobile phones, PHS is not as practical, capable of making calls, or has better signal strength than mobile phones."

"To put it bluntly, Xiaolingtong is actually a special product of special times. It will eventually be eliminated by the times."

"Dad, I think in this case, you'd better consider leaving early."

Su Ruochu also said: "Chen Fan advised you before, but you didn't take it seriously at that time. In this situation now, why don't you listen to Chen Fan. Exit in time and do another business."

Su Xuecheng smiled bitterly, "It's not that easy."

"I am now entangled with all my business partners and entangled in various triangular debts. It is not that easy to exit."

"Of course, I know what Xiao Chen just said makes sense."

"But we cannot deny that PHS still has a certain market share in some underdeveloped and remote areas."

“The number of users is not as high as expected.”

"And the manufacturer has told us that tomorrow they are going to take various measures such as price cuts and promotions to increase product sales."

"As long as the products are sold and the subsequent bills are settled, there is still money to be made in this business."

Chen Fan smiled bitterly.

It seems that the old man is still reluctant to let go.

After all, the crisis is not yet obvious, and the profit of nearly one or two million per day would have been a very considerable income in 2007.

However, Chen Fan was also very clear that 2007 was the beginning of the decline of Xiaolingtong, and in the next few years, it would fall off a cliff until it completely disappeared from the market...

This was the third time he had advised the old man openly or secretly. Chen Fan thought that if it really didn't work, he could wait until Xiaolingtong completely withdrew from the market and let the old man clear out the inventory in time to reduce the loss.

…

For example, the Chen family was as lively as usual at the end of the day, especially during the few days when Chen Fan came back.

Relatives from each family took turns to visit, some delivering goods, some visiting.

Even if Chen Fan wanted to rest for a while longer, he didn't have the chance.

At 7:30 in the morning, Chen Jianye came back from the noodles to buy groceries. He asked Li Jinqiu, who was busy in the kitchen, in a low voice: "Is your son not awake yet?"

"Um."

"Do you think your son has been particularly tired recently? He seems to have lost some weight this time. And he always stays in bed and likes to sleep in every time he comes back."

Chen Jianye shook his head: "I guess there are just too many things to do in the company."

"He manages such a large company by himself, with so many people under him, how can he not worry?"

"It's a rare trip back home, don't call him for breakfast, just let him have a good rest when you come back."

"Um."

"I bought an old hen and stewed it when it was ripe to nourish him."

"Know."

When Chen Fan woke up, it was already ten o'clock.

After taking a look at the big sun outside, Chen Fan stretched out his body comfortably.

Even he himself couldn't explain why he always liked to stay in bed and sleep every time he went home.

It's as if this bed in my house has some special magical power.

When he opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, Chen Fan was startled.

The living room was full of people, all relatives.

Moreover, this group of relatives had been sitting in the living room, communicating in low voices that were almost inaudible.

There was an animation playing on the TV opposite, but it was muted.

The only few children were held in the arms of the adults and were not allowed to run around or shout.

"Cousin is awake!"

A little girl about six or seven years old suddenly pointed at Chen Fan and shouted excitedly.

With a roar, the originally quiet living room seemed to come alive.

"Oh, Chen Fan is awake."

"Didn't it bother you?"

"Is Chen Fan up?"

Seeing these relatives greeting him enthusiastically one by one, Chen Fan smiled, nodded, and called them over one by one.

Uncle, aunt, aunt, uncle, uncle, aunt...

Good job guys. Now we have everything.

There were a lot of people in the room, all of them were relatives from Chen Fan's grandmother's side of the family.

"Everyone is here."

At this time Li Jinqiu poked his head out from the kitchen.

"Xiao Fan is awake?"

"Um."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded to the relatives in the living room, "Everyone, take a seat. I'm going to wash my face."

Chen Fan went to the bathroom to quickly wash his face and brush his teeth, then slipped into the kitchen.

"Mom, what day is it? Why are all my grandma's relatives here?"

Li Jinqiu glanced at Chen Fan.

"What else can it be? It's almost midnight. I heard you're back, so everyone came to see you."

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "A bunch of elders came to see a kid like me. Isn't this... inappropriate? It will ruin my life."

Li Jinqiu raised his hand and slapped him, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid!"

"It's not that your uncle and his friends heard that you are the boss of Ruofan Group. They are all very excited and have come over to see you."

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Didn't you know this before?"

"They knew you were doing business before, but they didn't know it was so big."

"They saw your news online and called me to ask about it. I can't lie."

Chen Fan took a bite of a freshly washed cucumber.

"so it is……"
