Gao Mingcheng planned very well. After preparing all the odds and ends, he was ready to set off for Guangzhou.
Before leaving, many women asked her whether she would sell the goods at the counter in the mall herself or hire someone to do it for her.
Gao Mingcheng had already made plans for this, which was to hire a clerk!
He just hasn't decided who to hire yet, or he can just put up a recruitment poster at the counter.
Many beauties didn't have any recommendations, so they could only follow Gao Mingcheng's arrangements.
Just when Gao Mingcheng was considering whether to put up a recruitment poster, Xiao Jinfeng found him.
"Ming Cheng, I heard that you have already rented a counter in the mall? Are you really planning to sell Subor game consoles? I have also asked people about that, and I bought two to play at home. It is indeed quite interesting. However, although it is much cheaper than the Famicom, the game console is more than 200 yuan, and the cartridge is more than 100 yuan. At this price, it is probably a bit expensive in the county."
Xiao Jinfeng was somewhat worried that the game console wouldn't sell well.
The selling price is high, and the purchase price is not much cheaper either. Gao Mingcheng has to spend a lot of money to import a truckload of goods.
Xiao Jinfeng was a little worried about this, but Gao Mingcheng was not.
The average salary of an ordinary person in a county town is around 150 yuan a month. If one wants to buy a Little Overlord game console and cartridges, it will cost two months’ salary!
This sounds like a lot, but you have to know that people nowadays do not have the concept of buying houses. They either live in self-built houses or in dormitories allocated by their units. Although they do not have much money, they are willing to spend it.
Men are willing to spend several months' salary to buy a good watch, and women are also willing to spend several months' salary to buy a nice and fashionable coat.
The same goes for color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines. Now, it seems that it is not impossible to save up money to buy game consoles.
In June next year, Subor will invest RMB 400,000 to air its first advertisement on CCTV, namely the “Subor Contest”, a sales event with prizes, which promises “own a Subor and become a millionaire”.
Since then, Subor has entered a 10-year glorious era, with its sales volume once ranking first in the domestic game console market, and its market share even reached 80% at its peak.
If you want stability, then you can rent a counter to sell goods before June next year, and you will get your money back faster.
But one thing Gao Mingcheng took into consideration was that once Subor started high-profile publicity, it would become difficult to purchase goods. Therefore, he planned to establish good relations with Zhongshan before the Subor game console became popular, so that he could jump the queue to purchase goods when necessary. Otherwise, if he sent a driver to load the goods, he would have to wait for several days because there was no stock, which would also be a waste of time and money.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, don't worry. I'm the only one selling it in the county right now. Even if there are few buyers, there will still be people who buy it. Besides, game consoles are not food that will expire. Just sell them slowly."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xiao Jinfeng stopped trying to persuade him and changed the subject: "Have you found someone to look after the store for you? If you haven't found one, I have someone here."
"Who is it?" Gao Mingcheng asked directly. If the candidate is suitable, he can use the person recommended by Xiao Jinfeng.
We are all friends, so we just need to interact with each other!
At first, Gao Mingcheng thought that Xiao Jinfeng would introduce his relatives and friends to come and do the job, but who knew that the person Xiao Jinfeng introduced was actually someone Gao Mingcheng knew.
"Song Jinzhang?" Gao Mingcheng read the name, and things related to Song Jinzhang gradually emerged in his mind.
He had interacted with Song Jinzhang several times. This girl was indeed very smart, but she was unlucky. She met with misfortune when she went to Yangcheng to purchase goods, but fortunately she was rescued in time.
But because of that incident, I heard later that Song Jinzhang no longer went to Yangcheng alone to purchase goods.
As for what Song Jinzhang is doing now, he naturally doesn't care.
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said with certainty, "That's her! Her father is the manager of the department store, and she grew up in the department store. She is very familiar with the place, and with the relationship between her and her father, I believe she will have fewer troubles if she runs the store there."
The department store is a shopping mall that has existed in the county for a long time. Although it is called a building, it actually has only two floors. Gao Mingcheng rented a slightly remote location on the first floor.
In the past, department stores were doing very good business and there would be no empty counters to rent to individuals. However, with economic development, there are more and more self-employed individuals and people have more choices in purchasing goods. Therefore, department stores are gradually becoming deserted.
But even a broken boat still has three pounds of nails. Today's department stores are still places with a large flow of people. And until the concept of supermarkets became popular in the county, the department stores were demolished and replaced by supermarkets of all sizes.
People in later generations are accustomed to shopping in supermarkets and specialized stores, and department stores basically no longer exist.
Gao Mingcheng does not plan to open a store now. He is planning to rent a counter in a shopping mall and sell the products first. After the Subor learning machine comes out, he will open a special store.
Gao Mingcheng thought about it and felt that it would be okay to invite Song Jinzhang. This girl was smart, knew how to do business, and had a relationship with the manager of the mall, which was also good.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, but I have to go to Yangcheng to purchase the goods now. I'd like to trouble Brother Xiao to tell Song Jinzhang that if she is willing, she can come to do the work when the time comes to distribute the goods."
Xiao Jinfeng nodded.
Recommending Song Jinzhang was also his cousin's request, and he really thought Song Jinzhang was quite suitable, so he mentioned it to Gao Mingcheng.
After this matter was settled, Gao Mingcheng prepared to get in the car.
After closing the car door, Gao Mingcheng waved to Xiao Jinfeng who was under the car and said, "Brother Xiao, I'm leaving."
"Hey, have a safe journey!" Xiao Jinfeng said an auspicious word, then stepped back a little, leaving enough space for Gao Mingcheng to drive away.
Gao Mingcheng started the truck, stepped on the clutch and brake, shifted to first gear, and then released his foot. The truck started moving slowly. He first stepped on the accelerator slowly, accelerated slightly, and then shifted gears. This way, the truck could move quickly.
On the passenger seat next to Gao Mingcheng, there was a large luggage bag. In addition to spare clothes and some daily necessities, there were piles of cash!
What Xiao Jinfeng said was right. The selling price of Xiaobawang was high, and the purchase price was not much cheaper either. Even with a 50% discount, it would still cost a lot of money. In addition, there was also the payment for the clothing. Therefore, he filled half a bag with cash alone!
Because he was carrying a huge amount of money, Gao Mingcheng carried a dagger in addition to the basic iron rod.
In early November, the weather was a little cooler, but it had not yet completely cooled down. This time, Gao Mingcheng was going to purchase winter clothes.
Summer and winter clothes are the best-selling products. Relatively speaking, winter clothes are expensive to purchase and even more expensive to sell.
The journey was relatively smooth. If a stranger approached him on the road, he would ignore him if possible. As long as he ignored him, he would have less trouble. If trouble really came, Gao Mingcheng would not be afraid.
Nowadays, if you don’t have some courage, don’t drive a sports car.
They arrived in Yangcheng smoothly. Gao Mingcheng did not see Fan Chengyao this time. Last time, he and Fan Chengyao went back to Jiangxi together, and they haven't seen each other much since then. When they occasionally contacted each other, he learned that Fan Chengyao was very busy recently.
Of course, Gao Mingcheng didn't have to meet him, but this time when he came to Guangzhou, he brought dozens of kilograms of local tangerines to give to Fan Chengyao.
Although Fan Chengyao was not in Yangcheng, these dozens of kilograms of tangerines had to be delivered. Gao Mingcheng delivered the gifts to the porcelain shop and handed them over to Fan Chengyao's wife, Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan was running a store in Yangcheng with her daughter. When Gao Mingcheng first saw the little girl, she was just a breastfeeding baby, but now she can run and jump, and is dressed very cutely by Mrs. Yan.
When the little girl sweetly called him "uncle", Gao Mingcheng began to envy Fan Chengyao crazily in his heart.
"Hey, uncle will treat you to some tangerines!" Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but raise his voice as he looked at the cute little girl.
The reason why they brought mandarin oranges instead of sugar oranges is because mandarin oranges are a local variety in Jiangxi. The mandarin oranges there are similar to those in Jingdezhen, which makes Fan Chengyao feel at home when eating them.
Besides, if Fan Chengyao really wants to eat tangerines, it would be great if he could just buy them from here. They are authentic and delicious!
After giving the gifts, Mrs. Yan invited Gao Mingcheng to stay for dinner, but Gao Mingcheng refused.
Fan Chengyao is not at home, and Mrs. Yan is young and beautiful. This is not good. He is not going to cuckold Fan Chengyao!
After saying goodbye and leaving, Gao Mingcheng left quickly.
Since entering Guangzhou, he has been so hot that he has taken off his coat and is only wearing a short-sleeved shirt. The climate here is hot, and even in winter, it is not that cold.
Of course, it’s still extremely hot here in the summer, so hot that it can give you acne! Therefore, the locals are used to eating light dishes, making soups and drinking herbal teas.
The eating habits of a place are actually related to the local climate.
Gao Mingcheng was very familiar with Guangzhou. He first found a restaurant to eat at, then went to the garment factory to purchase goods in the afternoon, and then found a suitable hotel to rest for the night.
Because he was alone, countless people came up to him and asked if he needed any service along the way!
Sure enough, big cities are different!
In their county, there were actually people doing this secretly, but they would never dare to solicit customers so blatantly. However, two thousand years later, the West Ring Road in their county became a well-known red-light district.
During the day, there was little movement in those buildings, but at night, there would be many young girls in cool clothes standing or standing at the door. They did not actively solicit customers, but just stood there, which was a bit like Jiang Taigong fishing and waiting for those who were willing to take the bait.
Those images flashed through Gao Mingcheng's mind, but there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Those organized and large-scale ones are actually controlled by someone behind the scenes, and those girls who wear cool clothes are not all willing to wear cool clothes.
Of course, Gao Mingcheng is not the Holy Father. What makes him feel disgusted is not only that those people controlled Huang, but also that drugs were involved.
In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng's youngest son made friends with a lot of bad people and accidentally got involved in things he shouldn't have been involved in, so Gao Mingcheng hated those people so much.
Gao Mingcheng pulled his hand out of a girl's arm, glared at her coldly, and walked away.
The girl failed to attract any customers. She rolled her eyes at Gao Mingcheng's back and went to choose the next person to recruit in the dimly lit night.
Along the way, Gao Mingcheng saw many single men following the girls obediently, and he sneered in his heart.
The fate of these people, if they are lucky, is just to buy happiness with money, at most there is a risk of contracting a disease. If they are unlucky, they will be kidnapped and all their money will be taken away, without even giving you the risk of contracting a disease!
The word "greed" hides many dangers.
Because he was carrying a huge amount of money, Gao Mingcheng was extremely vigilant along the way. If he encountered a petty thief, he would take direct action against him.
Fortunately, maybe because I saw that he was not easy to mess with, I spent the night peacefully.
The next morning, after Gao Mingcheng had breakfast, he bought some bread, fruit and cigarettes at the store and prepared to set off for Zhongshan.
After arriving in Zhongshan and asking people for directions, Gao Mingcheng finally parked his car in front of the gate of the Subor factory in the afternoon.
Gao Mingcheng was carrying a luggage bag with a few packs of high-quality cigarettes in his pocket. He smoothed his hair with his hands and jumped out of the car with a casual look on his face.
Because Nintendo never officially released and sold the Subor in China, the Subor is a complete copycat product. In addition to the Subor, there are other brands that also make copycat game consoles, but the Subor took the route of high-profile publicity, making it the most famous and the best-selling.
The game consoles on the market now are still just basic models, with prices ranging from around two hundred to three hundred yuan. Different cartridges have different prices. Among them, the best-selling games are Contra, Super Mario, Street Fighter and so on.
With the launch of Subor learning machine, the price has risen to four or five hundred!
However, as the market becomes saturated, the price of game consoles will gradually fall. After computers become popular, the Subor game console will also come to an end.
Gao Mingcheng holds a cigarette, smiles, and is ready to engage in effective socializing!
By the time dinner came, there were a few new friends at his table!
The next morning, Gao Mingcheng loaded most of the truck with goods. After settling the payment, he waved goodbye to his new friends and headed back.
This time, because of the detour to Zhongshan, Gao Mingcheng spent several days on the road. It was six days later when he returned to the county town.
Six days was more than enough time to set up the newly rented counter.
After returning to the county town, Gao Mingcheng first drove the car to his new home and prepared to unload the Subor game console and put it directly at home.
This thing is expensive, and he doesn't feel comfortable putting it somewhere else.
After unloading the game consoles, drive the truck to the clothing store and unload the clothes. From then on, the truck is empty and can be returned to Xiao Jinfeng.
Gao Mingcheng did not go into the store to sort the merchandise. He had already handed over the management of the clothing store to Gao Shufang and others.
He said to Gao Shufang, "You guys count the goods and keep the accounts. If you have any questions, come to me. I'm going to return the car."
Gao Shufang was busy working. The clothes were packed in a large snakeskin bag. The bag opening was tied tightly with a rope. The rope had to be untied before the goods inside could be taken out.
She casually responded: "Okay, second brother!" (End of this chapter)
