The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 173: Someone was plotting against me!
Chen Huaiyang praised, "Young people are ambitious!"

"Now that we have figured it out, let's go find the source of goods!"

"Didn't you say you would study it thoroughly? I'll let you come and I'll follow you."

Yang Xiaotao wanted to prove himself, so he didn't refuse and led the way. "I did do some research, and even found out where to get the goods and what the prices were."

"What price should I sell it at? How much can I make from the resale? I have already estimated the cost. Who would have thought that after all the hard work and everything being settled, I would be taken advantage of."

"My efforts over the past few days have all gone to waste. I've just been wasting my time doing it for others."

Chen Huaiyang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Have you ever thought about this question? Since you have paved the way for them, will they have already taken a large batch of goods back?"

"If you add a large number of videotapes now, will it cause a phenomenon? There are too many things and they can't be sold, so they are left over."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned after hearing this. He only wanted to get the videotapes as soon as possible to make money. He really didn't consider this matter. If he couldn't sell them by then, he might just have to hoard them.

"Brother-in-law, what do you say? I'll listen to you."

Chen Huaiyang licked his lips and quickly made a decision, "Sell the tape recorder."

Yang Xiaotao looked at him and fell silent. "It's not easy to carry a tape recorder! I can't carry more than a few, and it's a waste of time to make a trip." It's different with videotapes. I don't have to worry about bringing back two big bags.

Chen Huaiyang shrugged, "I'm just giving you some advice. The decision is up to you. You can handle this matter, and I'll assist you."

"Whatever you plan, I'll listen to you."

A person can only make progress after experiencing hardships. If he keeps giving advice, he will never grow.

It doesn't matter even if I lose money on this trip.

Failure is the mother of success. Some experiences can be fully learned by accumulating them.

"Think about it first. I'll write to your sister. I'm afraid she'll be worried at home."

Yang Xiaotao watched his brother-in-law leave, and went to consult the boss he had communicated with before. After learning more about the situation, he found out that the other party had taken a large batch of goods.

If you really insist on doing it, it will definitely not be that easy to sell when you return.

After careful consideration, Yang Xiaotao compromised. Who could have made him miss the most appropriate opportunity? Unless he sold it somewhere else.

Since you are unfamiliar with the place, it is a problem whether you can gain trust and sell the product.

He went back dejected.

At that time, Chen Huaiyang had just sent the letter.

"Why are you so discouraged? Did you hit a wall?"

Yang Xiaotao curled his lips, "Brother-in-law, you are right. The other party took a lot of goods. I will definitely not make any money if I try the same old trick again. How do you think I can go about buying a tape recorder? I will listen to you."

Chen Huaiyang led his people out again.

"Let's check out the market first to see which ones are cheaper. Then we can hire a car and take one back."

"It's not just VCRs or TVs, as long as the price is right and the purchasing channels are guaranteed, it's fine."

Yang Xiaotao's eyes suddenly lit up. He really didn't dare to think of such a big one. After all, it was too expensive and he didn't have the capital.

Compared to this, the videotape is just a small matter.

After thinking it through, he rolled his throat twice and swallowed, "Brother-in-law, do you really dare to invest so much capital in me?"

"If I can't sell it, my sister will break my legs!"

A VCR or a TV would cost at least 80 or yuan, and ten would cost over a thousand yuan, which was something he couldn't even think about.

Chen Huaiyang raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a hint of provocation in his eyes, "Why, you don't dare?"

"If you want to do something, do it big. What's the point of doing small things?"

"I'm doing this with you because I want to make money. How much money can you make from the videotapes you make?"

"The crooked and broken ones will take up too much of my time." "So do you dare to do it?"

"I'll lend you the money, and we'll split the earnings in half. It's up to you whether you can afford it or not."

"If you dare to do it, let's do it once. If you don't have the courage, come back with me and hand you over to our parents. Then my mission will be accomplished."

Yang Xiaotao looked at his brother-in-law's calm appearance and thought there was nothing to be afraid of. "We still have to do it. We have already said that we are going out to make a living. How can we give up halfway?"

"If I don't make some achievements, how can I face them?"

Chen Huaiyang still admired him very much. The young man was energetic and daring. Even if the road ahead was bleak, he did not get discouraged at all and dared to move forward bravely.

The two of them agreed and went to check out the source of goods.

During this period, there was not an overabundance of goods like before. There were only one or two stores and the prices did not fluctuate much.

Earn the difference in price.

It depends on how much price you can negotiate.

In this regard, Yang Xiaotao showed him a different side. He changed his usual shyness and talked about prices with people step by step without any timidity.

He was also very smart and spoke very logically, and he brought the price down bit by bit.

Finally, ten VCRs and ten televisions were taken.

After the agreement is reached, hire a car and load and transport the goods directly.

"Brother-in-law, my heart is pounding, do you think we can sell it?"

Chen Huaiyang looked at his nervous expression. He no longer had the same calmness as when they were discussing the price earlier.

Lest he be too negative, I said encouragingly, “I don’t think you need to worry. It will be absolutely fine for you to sell the goods. They will definitely not pile up.”

I returned home in a state of anxiety and tossing and turning.

Chen Huaiyang would not control him and let him do his best. In the end, he would make money if he made money and lose money if he lost money.

"Can you do this? I'm going back."

Yang Xiaotao held him tightly, "Brother-in-law, I'm worried if you leave me, how about you stay for two days?"

Chen Huaiyang: “…”

"Okay? I'll keep you company for two more days. What are your plans?"

Yang Xiaotao said, "Brother-in-law, I plan to go to your parents' place. They have a night market stall and there are many customers."

"I took the tape recorder and placed it there for people to listen to, and I also promoted it at the same time."

"And there are ready-made circuits. I just need to pay the electricity bill."

Chen Huaiyang gave him a thumbs up. It would be hard for this brain not to succeed. He arranged everything in such a short time, which showed that he was not blind.

"Xiao Tao! Brother-in-law paid for this trip. I will still give you half of the profit, but in the future, brother-in-law will take 20% of your business."

"I'll pay what I'm supposed to pay, and I'll get 20% of the money I earn."

Yang Xiaotao's eyes were bright, and he could see a different meaning from it. "Brother-in-law, do you mean that you believe I can succeed?"

"As long as you believe in me, nothing will be a problem. Not to mention 20%, even 50% will do."

"We are a family, why do we have to say those foreign words?"

Chen Huaiyang waved his hand and rejected his suggestion directly, "No, you worked so hard, how can you let me take advantage of you?"

"Just do as I say, your brain can make money."
