Reborn in 1985, he made a fortune from space

Chapter 180 Manipulating the Market

"Pfft." Xiao Guofeng and Zhou Meng were both amused by the wholesaler's funny words. It must be said that this wholesaler is quite funny.

But Xiao Guofeng still stopped and turned to look at the young man. His hair was very long, covering his eyes. He was wearing a pair of glasses, a white shirt, and denim bell-bottoms. He had a sense of rebellion all over his body. breath.

This is a young man who cannot possibly follow an ordinary path.

But his rebellious temperament deeply attracted Xiao Guofeng.

"Comrade, can I take a look at the bell in your box?" Xiao Guofeng walked up to the young man and asked.

"Ah, yes, yes." When the wholesale dealer saw Xiao Guofeng coming back, he immediately introduced Xiao Guofeng to the young man, "At that time, a handsome boy bought your trashy little star. Please tell the handsome boss about your trashy little star. Bell, maybe the boss will like it."

"Boss, let me tell you, my little bell is great." The young man immediately began to promote his design, "You can use red rope to make a bracelet and wear it on your hand. It jingles when you walk. It sounds nice. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Guofeng's eyes suddenly became serious when he looked at the young man.

Because this kind of bracelet with a red string and a small bell did exist later, and it was popular for a long time, but it seemed to be in the [-]s, and all the girls walked in the streets and alleys wearing this kind of bracelet. jingle.

It's only eighty-six now.

This little bell is definitely not popular yet.

But this guy actually came up with a clever trick for weaving little bells on a red rope. Could it be that he is one of his own kind?

"Boss, what's wrong with you??" The young man saw Xiao Guofeng's eyes suddenly becoming serious, and his face looked a little nervous.

"How did you come up with this method?" Xiao Guofeng realized that he had just lost his composure and smiled.

"Oh, I read a folk fairy tale, which tells the story of the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong. The clothes worn by the Seven Fairies in the story have small bells made of gold sewn on them. When they walk, they will A clanking sound occurs.

I originally wanted to make a batch of small bells and sell them to garment factories so that they could sew them on clothes.But the people at the garment factory said I was mentally ill, and I was really angry. Is it okay that other fairies dress like this? "

As the young man spoke, he was angry at what he had experienced. But after he finished speaking, he remembered that he was now facing a product that he had to sell, and immediately said to Xiao Guofeng,

"Boss, you bought my little star last time. It shows that you are a discerning person, and you are definitely different from those who don't appreciate it. You should buy my little star this time too."

"Let me take a look." Xiao Guofeng decided to take a look at the goods first.

"Okay, okay." The young man was very excited and immediately opened the box. Xiao Guofeng saw a box full of small bells, each one the size of a corn kernel. Xiao Guofeng took out one, shook it, and it jingled. , crisp and nice-sounding.

"But it's not easy to hang up." Zhou Meng immediately understood Xiao Guofeng's intention. There were not many little stars they bought for one dollar last time, and they had to find something else to decorate their bell-bottoms.

This little bell is nice. If it can be hung on bell-bottom pants, young people can wear it to dance in the square. When they raise their feet and kick their legs, the bell-bottom pants will make a jingling sound. Don't be too eye-catching.

But now there is a big problem with this little bell. That is, this little bell is a single one, not a string.

This is not easy to hang on bell-bottom pants.

"Yes, these small bells are useful for us, but we can't use you individually. If you can use a kind of material to make a chain and put these small bells on it, I will buy it. You can give me a price." .”

"Made into a chain?" The young man was stunned.

"You can make a bell. It shouldn't be difficult to make a chain." Xiao Guofeng asked. He didn't know how far the metal manufacturing industry in this era had developed.

"Yes, I will make it for you when I get back. The chain is very easy to make." The young man agreed, then thought of something and asked Xiao Guofeng, "Do you have any requirements?"

"Yes." Xiao Guofeng nodded and drew a length, "We want to make it this long, with nine bells hanging on it."

"Yes." The young man nodded.

"How much do you charge?" Xiao Guofeng asked. He likes to agree on everything with his master first.

"I'll charge you, um... [-] cents per piece. This one is made of metal, which is different from those plastic accessories."

It’s good that metal can be used to make jewelry in this era. After all, the times have not yet developed to the point where stainless steel is not valuable.

"I will give you fifty cents a piece, but there is a condition, that is, you can't make it for others. People want to make a lot of money with this chain. If you make it for others, I will make less money, and you will have to suffer this loss. Responsible."

"Fifty cents a piece?" After hearing this, the wholesale dealer on the side was so jealous that his eyes bleeded. Fifty cents a piece, that kid can earn at least 300 cents a piece, a hundred pieces a piece is three yuan, a thousand pieces is a [-] yuan.

"Yes. Fifty cents apiece, we should ask for two thousand, or even more..."

Xiao Guofeng nodded, and when he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the wholesaler again, "Two thousand pieces, maybe more? Doesn't that mean a net profit of more than 600 yuan?"

"Yes, but you have to sign a contract with us and you cannot make it for others. Otherwise, if you make small bells for others and cause our losses, you will have to pay for it. The liquidated damages will be very high. Do you think you are willing to do it?"

Xiao Guofeng did not force this young man.

"I'll do it." The young man with fame and fortune hesitated for a moment and agreed.

"Okay, let's find a place to write the contract.

Zhou Meng was good at writing contracts. The three of them found a place and drafted the contract. Both parties signed and fingerprinted. Xiao Guofeng gave the young man a deposit, "Where can I deliver the goods in three days?"

"I can pay you three hundred."

"Okay, I'll pay you the balance when the time comes." Xiao Guofeng said, "The location is at the train station. Then find me, Brother Zhou. We are from Changjin and will often come to Dongcheng to purchase goods. You have to go to Changjin before the train leaves. Kim delivered it to the train station before.”

"Okay, no problem." The young man assured, Xiao Guofeng found a few coolies and went to get the bell-bottom pants. They both checked carefully. After confirming that there was no problem with the bell-bottom pants, they paid the balance and asked the coolies to deliver them. Go to the train station, get on the bus and go back.

In the train compartment, Zhou Meng asked Xiao Guofeng, "Is this manipulating the market?"

There was no one in the cubicle now, so Xiao Guofeng nodded and said to Zhou Meng, "Yes, this is market manipulation. We have to control consumers' desire to buy."

Zhou Meng made it clear at one point, “We must capture the psychology of consumers.”

Xiao Guofeng nodded and explained to him in detail while he had time.

"That's it! Today's young people have been suppressed for too long in the past years, and they have developed a rebellious heart.

It's time for them to show off their youth. They want to be different, want everyone to shine for them, and want more attention than they can get.

And our little stars and little bells just happened to hit this mentality of theirs. "
