Chapter 236: People from the Provincial Capital
"Comrades, if you still need home appliances, you can go to the store not far ahead. I have rented a storefront and will sell them there during the day."
Zhao Yi took the six hundred yuan and smiled.
"OK."
The customer who bought the TV nodded, and happily left Zhao Yi's house holding the TV.
Zhao Yi began to move televisions and tape recorders to the store.
I worked until the evening and finally filled the shelves.
I just got home and was about to eat when four or five more people came.
"Comrade, is this the home of Comrade Zhao Yi, who sells televisions?"
Several people shouted standing at the door.
"right."
Zhao Yi nodded.
Several people walked into the yard happily.
Zhao Yi hurriedly moved a few televisions from the second floor to the living room.
After seeing off a few people, uncle Zhao Dajiang came to Zhao Yi's house.
"Uncle has arrived just in time."
Zhang Jing smiled and invited her uncle to the dinner table.
"I just ate. Xiaoyi asked me to come over now. I came to see what's going on."
Zhao Dajiang waved his hand.
"Drink a little after you eat."
Zhang Jing took out two wine glasses and poured a glass for Zhao Yi and Zhao Dajiang respectively.
Unable to persuade Zhang Jing, Zhao Dajiang could only accompany Zhao Yi to drink a glass of wine and eat some food.
Then Zhao Yi pushed the cart and took Zhao Dajiang and Zhang Jing to the square.
"Look, look, the guy selling TVs is coming over here."
A lot of people came to the square. Many of them who didn't know where Zhao Yi's home was were waiting here. Some who liked to ask questions had already bought a TV.
"Comrade, do you have any TV sets for sale today?"
A group of people gathered around.
"From tomorrow on, televisions will be sold at the Zhao Yi home appliance store opposite the department store. We won't be setting up stalls here anymore. If you want to buy something, you can come home with me later to have a look.
It will be sold in the store after today. ”
Zhao Yi explained with a smile.
When they heard that there were televisions for sale, everyone's smiles suddenly brightened.
I am also curious about what Zhao Yi is selling at his stall today.
They all lined up in two rows, waiting for Zhao Yi to set up his stall.
When the mats were laid out, reels of tapes, some pretty hairpins, posters and other things were taken out, everyone shook their heads; it was obvious that they did not come here for these things.
He immediately walked aside to let someone in need come over and take a look.
Music was playing from a tape recorder and there was a small table lamp on the ground.
Older people don’t like these things, so they just go to the side and wait for the comrades setting up the stalls to take them to buy televisions and tape recorders.
"Hello, comrade. How much is this hairpin?"
Two girls came to the stall and were unable to move when they saw the colorful hairpins with butterflies on them.
"Hairpins are 60 cents each, cassettes are 1 dollar each, this kind of headband is cheaper at only 30 cents each, and these sandals are 1.5 dollars a pair."
Zhao Yi hurriedly introduced them.
Zhao Dajiang listened carefully to Zhao Yi's introduction to the customers and memorized the price of each item.
"This mat is very nice, and surprisingly so cheap."
The two girls started to pick items at the stalls. There were also some small gadgets, such as colorful bracelets. The cost was very cheap and the price was not high.
The two girls picked and chose and liked most of the items on the stall, picking up almost everything except the tapes.
"Comrade, can you please try these shoes on for size?"
The girl looked at Zhao Dajiang and asked.
You are not allowed to try it in the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores. I don’t know if you are allowed to try it here.
"Of course you can try it on. If it doesn't fit, why buy it? Just try it on as long as you don't damage it."
Zhao Yi smiled.
In just a few minutes, the two of them spent five or six dollars, bought everything they liked at the stall, and happily went back home.
"Uncle, just follow my instructions. Remember the price of each item is roughly the same. The profit is half and half. For example, if there are twelve dollars here, you will earn six dollars after deducting the cost."
Zhao Yi whispered in Zhao Dajiang's ear.
Hearing this, Zhao Dajiang looked at Zhao Yi in surprise.
"Don't be surprised, Uncle. This is how business works. Of course, you can't ask for too high a price."
Zhao Yi looked at his second uncle and whispered.
People nowadays don’t bargain, because in department stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, vegetable markets, pork stalls and almost everywhere else, prices are what they are if they are marked.
Zhao Dajiang didn't expect that he earned six yuan in less than twenty minutes after setting up the stall. If it were in the village, he wouldn't know how long it would take to earn six yuan. A hundred eggs at home only made five yuan.
If I could earn six dollars a day, I would live a better life than in the village.
At this time, Zhao Yi walked towards his home with people who wanted to buy home appliances.
There were more than twenty people waiting to purchase home appliances.
Zhao Yi just left not long ago.
The two young men pointed at Zhao Yi's back.
"Look, Third Brother, I didn't lie to you, there really is a TV here that doesn't require a ticket."
"I heard that he imported the goods from the south. You have to know that anyone who can do business across provinces nowadays has some background. We are unfamiliar with this place and have no idea about the other party's background.
If it was in the provincial capital, we could still say that we were in partnership with the other party to do this business. But this is in the region, if the other party has a strong background, we won’t be able to investigate even if they kill us. ”
The young man called Third Brother said.
"Third brother, you misunderstood me. I meant that we can buy from him and then take it back to the provincial capital to sell.
The price of a TV in the region is about 600 yuan, and you need a ticket. When we got to the provincial capital, we sold it for 700 yuan, and people were scrambling to buy it.
You say we make a hundred yuan for one TV set, so ten sets can make a thousand yuan. It is easy to sell ten TV sets a month. ”
The young man looked at the third brother and said.
"That's true. The monthly salary in the factory is only thirty-six yuan at most, and you have to go to work every day. It's hard not to get rich if you take advantage of this antenna. I really have nothing to fear when it comes to our small piece of land."
The third brother said with a smile.
After saying that, he quickly followed the crowd and rushed to Zhao Yi's house.
The two of them were at the end of the line. If they didn't wait in line now, they would be kicked out and it would not be worth it.
By the time the two of them arrived, Zhao Yi was already sweating profusely after running back and forth more than twenty times.
"Hello comrades, what do you need to buy?"
Zhang Jing looked at the two young men and asked.
"It's like this comrade, we want to buy home appliances but the quantity is a bit large, we don't know if we can buy them."
The two looked at Zhao Yi and said.
As for bargaining, they don't know the ins and outs of it.
"How much do you want to buy?"
Zhao Yi became interested, but he didn't expect that a middleman would come to his door so soon. As for stealing his business, Zhao Yi was not afraid because he was the one who controlled the majority of the supply.
"It's like this. We want to buy at least twenty tape recorders and twenty television sets."
The young man hurriedly spoke when he heard there was a play.
"Of course there will be discounts if you buy more. I'll give you two hundred yuan for a tape recorder and five hundred and fifty yuan for a TV. Cash transactions are not allowed on credit."
Zhao Yi looked at the two of them and said.
Zhao Yi could tell from their accents that they were not from the local area but from the provincial capital. Zhao Yi had been a scavenger in the provincial capital in his previous life, so he would not be mistaken about their accents.
When they heard there was a discount, they looked at each other.
"Okay, let's do the deal tomorrow morning. I'll call the transportation department's car over and we'll count the money and move the goods."
The two of them were so happy.
