Reborn since 1993

Chapter 722: Reverse Tiangang, Reverse Output

The official retail price of the Shenzhou second-generation electronic dictionary is 699 yuan. Now it is being sold on the market for 820 yuan, which means the price of the machine has indeed increased.

This made the two scalpers excited enough. It was only a few days, and after selling the 500 machines that Cao Taizheng and his team had stockpiled, they could make a profit of 60,000 yuan!
Even in Guangzhou, the city with the highest average wage in the country, the average monthly salary of Guangzhou residents is less than 1200 yuan.

Sixty thousand yuan is equivalent to a strong laborer who has to go without food or drink for more than four years to save this much money. It is definitely not a small sum of money!
Compared to the two calves who were so excited that they couldn't express their feelings in words, Cao Taizheng was much calmer.

The price has increased a bit now, but it is still a bit behind the machine he sold at a higher price last year.

"It's not the right time yet. In a few days, when the stock is completely out of stock on the market, the price of the Shenzhou electronic dictionary will increase to one thousand yuan, which will be nothing!" Cao Taizheng said to the two scalpers.

The two scalpers couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they heard what Cao Taizheng said. If they could really sell it for more than one thousand yuan, then they could make more than one hundred and fifty thousand yuan from the difference in the price of the machines they stockpiled!

That's 150,000 yuan. Not to mention nowadays, even in another 20 or 30 years, it will not be a small sum for many families.

Seeing the two little followers with their eyes wide open and looking like they had never seen the world, Cao Taizheng couldn't help but shook his head and prepared to teach them some experience by words and deeds.

Just as he was about to speak, the phone in the living room suddenly rang. Looking at the ringing phone, Cao Taizheng knew that only his colleagues could find him during this period. After hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the phone.

"Tai Zai, I'm Lao Shen. How many Shenzhou electronic dictionaries do you have? I know you must have some!"

As soon as the call was connected, a voice came from the other end of the phone, asking Cao Taizheng in an unquestionable tone.

Cao Taizheng knew clearly that the Old Shen on the phone was Shen Anming, the famous scalper in Yangcheng. Shen Anming has now been cleaned up and can no longer be called a scalper, but an electronics dealer.

Shen Anming has his own store in Huaqiangbei, as well as overseas sales sources and channels. Of course, he also does scalping activities. Compared with Shen Anming, Cao Taizheng can only be considered a small-time player.

Last year, Shen Anming also contacted Cao Taizheng, wanting to pay a higher price to buy the goods he had stockpiled, but was rejected by Cao Taizheng.

Cao Taizheng didn't expect that Shen Anming would ask him for goods again this year. He didn't want to sell those hundreds of machines to Shen Anming. He kept them and sold them himself. Although it was harder and the sales were slower, he made more money.

"Brother Shen, you know, I only have a few machines, they are just small things, they are not worthy of your attention..."

Listening to Cao Taizheng's words, Shen Anming's sneering voice came from the other end of the phone, "Just as Lao Xue expected, you little rascal, you are really slippery!"

Cao Taizheng knew who the Old Xue that Shen Anming mentioned was. He was Xue Jingwu, a well-known figure in the scalper industry in Guangdong Province.

Xue Jingwu started reselling many years ago, and even resold parallel-imported goods such as cars. In recent years, Xue Jingwu has set his sights on products from Dongling Hi-Tech, which have low risks but high profits.

Instead, they do the opposite and sell the machines collected domestically to scalpers in South Korea, Japan, Malaysia and other places. Because they have connections and do not have to pay tariffs, the profits are quite high!

"Tai Zai, don't blame me for not giving you a chance, I called you because I heard that you had stockpiled a batch of Shenzhou machines!

This time, we are still short of some of the goods we have collected. This time, the goods are for flashing the machines and selling them to places like Korea and India. The price to scalpers there is US$158!

Bring the machine here, we will find someone to flash it, and we will only take 5% of the turnover. Think carefully, if you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again!"

After saying that, Shen Anming hung up the phone, leaving Cao Taizheng and the other two alone sitting in the living room, looking at each other in bewilderment.

After hearing what Shen Anming said, not to mention the two little yellow cows, even Cao Taizheng himself was a little confused.

They flashed the Shenzhou electronic dictionary from the Chinese version to Korean, Hindi, Malay, Siamese, etc., and then resold it abroad.

This way of playing has far exceeded the imagination of a small fry like Cao Taizheng. It makes him feel like, "It turns out there is a way to play it." It's really eye-opening for Cao Taizheng!

"Brother Cao, do you want to give the machine to Shen?"

"He can really give us a machine for $158?"

The two young scalpers asked Cao Taizheng nervously and excitedly. They had never thought that their scalping business would one day allow them to do foreign exchange business.

The price is 158 US dollars. Even if Shen Anming takes 5% of the turnover, the selling price of one machine is equivalent to 1200 yuan. After deducting the cost of 699, they can still make a net profit of 25 yuan for one machine. From this batch of machines, they can make yuan!
"Shen Anming still keeps his word!"

Cao Taizheng shook his head and said that although he was also wary of his peers, he also knew that Shen Anming's reputation was relatively reliable in the industry. After all, his stall was so big that it was impossible for him to destroy it for a small profit.

"I'll go find him!" After taking a long puff of his cigarette, Cao Taizheng finally couldn't help but stood up and said.

……

"That little rascal will definitely come over later!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Anming said to Xue Jingwu that he had a very accurate grasp of the thoughts of those scalpers in Ban Taizheng.

Why do you become a scalper? You take risks and run around the streets every day, just to make a few more dollars.

The price they offered now was already high enough, so there was no need to worry that Cao Taizheng’s scalpers wouldn’t take the bait.

"We are still one or two thousand short of the 50,000 machines they want. Once we have enough machines, we will immediately deliver them to the port city. Once we are out on the high seas, the order will be done!"

Xue Jingwu, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and looking like a vegetarian, looked towards Shen Anming, but he had not seen through the world. He had never let go of greed for so many years.

Last year, a few of them started to collaborate with overseas scalpers and made a fortune by reverse-exporting Shenzhou computers.

This year, they naturally resorted to the same old tricks, teaming up with scalpers from Korea, Siam, India and even Eastern Europe to resell the machines together.

The reason why those local scalpers in Korea buy from Shen Anming and his people at high prices is of course because it is profitable. They have their own connections, which allow them to bypass the local customs and they don't have to pay various miscellaneous taxes such as tariffs.

For example, when the Shenzhou electronic dictionary was out of stock locally, it was not difficult at all to sell it as a parallel import product at a price increase of several dozen dollars.

This time, Shen Anming and his team had tens of thousands of machines, and the amount involved was close to 7.9 million US dollars. It was a huge deal!
"By the way, are those people responsible for flashing the phone reliable?" Shen Anming, who was about to call the next scalper, asked Xue Jingwu.

Xue Jingwu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Just don't worry, I spent a lot of money to hire this flashing team.

One of them is from abroad, yes, he used to work for Sun Systems, and the rest of them were invited from famous universities such as Yanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications. They guarantee that the flashed machines are indistinguishable from the genuine ones!"

As long as there is profit to be made, there is no shortage of absurd things happening in this world. Even Dongling Hi-Tech could never have imagined that there would be scalpers who would hire a technical team to flash the machines in order to resell domestic machines overseas!
But for scalpers like Shen Anming, as long as they can make money, and a lot of money at that, flashing the phone is nothing.

In the past, when Apple phones were in short supply in China, it was different. There were scalpers who flashed Hong Kong, US and even Japanese versions of Apple phones and sold them to China to make money.

The only difference is that in its previous life, Apple was an American company, and local scalpers had the advantage of supply and could control domestic scalpers.

Now, with Shenzhou as the case, Shen Anming and others, as local scalpers, have the geographical advantage and can collect machines and resell them to overseas scalpers, thus controlling the pricing power of parallel imported machines!

Even among scalpers, there are differences in status. Shen Anming and his colleagues wish that there would be more high-tech companies like Dongling Hi-Tech in China, so that they can resell more products overseas and earn more!

After all, who would want to be a grandson when there is a chance to be a grandfather?

……

Hanxi, Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-Tech did not expect that domestic scalpers would be so extravagant.

It is estimated that Li Dongling will not know about the outrageous operations played by Shen Anming and his scalpers until the domestic customs or foreign media expose the insider trading.

Just when the Shenzhou electronic dictionary was creating a frenzy in China and the entire industry chain was benefiting from it, the Microsoft team led by Ed Fleiss finally arrived in Hanxi.

In the past few days, Ed Fries actually missed some of his schedules. He originally planned to fly directly to Hanxi, but changed his mind halfway and went to major cities such as Yanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou.

In these cities, Ed Fries finally confirmed the popularity of the Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary in this land, and it was not a trap set by Dongling Hi-Tech to fool him or something.

"Ed, welcome to Pingyang!"

At the entrance of Dongling Hi-Tech's headquarters, Li Dongling, together with Ren Yuefeng and other senior executives, stood at the gate to welcome the arrival of Ed Fleiss and others. This could be said to be giving Ed Fleiss enough face and treatment. Of course, this was mainly aimed at Microsoft.

"Li, I have witnessed a miracle these days. It is hard to imagine that a product can make people in so many countries in Asia crazy about it!"

When Ed Fries shook hands with Li Dongling, there was a hint of surprise in his words.
