Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 96 Am I famous?
Initiating a repurchase requires cooperation from three parties.

The appeal of Liu Sangen and Xie Jiao'e determines the final repurchase volume, the final market realization, and whether the project can be successful. On the contrary, the work in the exhibition hall in the middle is the easiest.

They only need to receive customers and complete the handover based on the purchase price.

On March 2207, 3, several repurchase news were forwarded by Liu Sangen and his accomplice to the people around them who had bought Kang Yin Ge and Great Wall Senior.

"Celebrate the Lantern Festival, Buy Back"

"…All Kang Yin Ge and Great Wall books purchased in the eight exhibition halls last year will be repurchased at a 20% increase on the original price. The repurchase price is: Kang Yin Ge 6300 yuan per copy, and Great Wall 3600 yuan per copy."

“The buyback period is only one week.”

Lv Feng edited several text messages and sent them out. He was not sure how much he could get back, as it depended on the appeal of Liu Sangen and the other two.

In the next few days, the store's traffic increased rapidly.

There was only one thing Lu Feng had to do every day, which was to stay at the Pearl River Hotel, keep an eye on Xu Huiying's messages, and transfer payments to customers who came to the store in a timely manner.

In just three days, Lu Feng had almost recovered all the goods he had sold before the New Year, which was much less than he expected.

Lu Feng originally thought that in one or two months, a 20% profit would be enough to attract these middle-aged women and men, but he underestimated the financial resources of the customers.

On the fifth day, the acquisition was coming to an end, but no customer came all day.

When the traffic dropped sharply on the third day, Lu Feng asked them to contact as many people as possible, and told them that if the item did not sell this time, the store would not guarantee the price the next time.

"I have contacted everyone I could, and the rest said that there were only a few items and even if I sold them I wouldn't be able to earn enough to buy a few meals, so I saved them for my grandchildren to play with." This was Liu Sangen's reply.

……

Bank of America Center, inside a separate office.

Ling Dong leaned slightly to the side and read the information in his hand carefully. According to the above information, the customer flow of eight stores of Jiuzang has begun to pick up in recent days and returned to the level before the New Year.

"Have you found out what varieties they are selling now?" Ling Dong asked.

A woman in a business suit nodded: "According to the on-site confirmation of several people we sent out, they are not promoting any products this week."

“No products were promoted?”

"Yes, Mr. Ling. This time, not only did they not sell any varieties, but they purchased two varieties from customers. One is called the Great Wall Four-piece, and the other is called Kang Yin Ge Four-piece. Both were sold from their store before the New Year. The purchase price was more than ten percent lower than the market price."

"You mean, they didn't take this opportunity to promote their new products?"

"Confirmed! Many customers have asked the same question as you, intending to sell their items and buy new ones, but the confirmation they received was the four words 'stay tuned'. As far as I know, there has been no action in the 24 stores after the New Year. Apart from this acquisition, the other store employees have received orders not to accept customers for the time being."

"I understand. Go ahead." Ling Dong waved his hand.

After the woman left, he quickly walked out of the office, opened the secret door, and came to the independent meeting room.

In the conference room, a man sitting in a wheelchair was staring out the window in a daze. From the reflection of the glass, it could be seen that there was not much emotion on his face. Ling Dong hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and put his hands on the wheelchair.

The man with a tuft of white hair on the back of his head shook his head gently, stopping Ling Dong's action. "Adong, from this angle, Zongyuan Market looks a bit run-down."

Ling Dong didn't know what this meant, and didn't dare to say anything. Looking through the window, he saw the stamp and coin market two streets away.

Compared with Renmin Middle Road where Bank of America is located, Haizhu Middle Road is like a scar in the city, full of old flavor.

"How does it feel to be back in the market during this period?" The man adjusted the direction of his wheelchair and moved to one side of the meeting room.

"The market is always the same, there's nothing new." Ling Dong said truthfully.

"It's been a week since the guy named Lu Feng came back, right?" The man finally adjusted himself to a suitable position and looked at Ling Dong who was following closely.

Ling Dong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "I have already informed all the merchants in the market who have a say, and no one will supply him with any goods. Guangxin and Tiangong's affairs have also been arranged."

"Have you taken the bait?"

"Not yet. I just got the news that the 24 Jiuzang stores have stopped promoting new products."

"Oh?" The man's face finally showed a change of emotion. He did not reveal the purpose of the guaranteed buyback to anyone in the team, and he believed that most people would see it as an opportunity and would not see the crisis hidden behind it.

He thought about the matter of a spy in the team for a long time and observed for a while, but in the end he was unable to identify any one person.

This is unreasonable!

Could he see through the crisis behind this plan?
"Boss, there is another thing. This time, not only did he not promote new products, he also bought back the two varieties he promoted before the New Year, Great Wall Silian and Kang Yin Ge, from old customers. According to their recycling price, it is more than ten percent lower than the market price."

"This is interesting!" The man tapped the table with his fingers and said with interest, "Let's leave it at that for now. We'll take the next step when he releases a new product. The most urgent thing is to find out who wrote the article that appeared last week."

"Could it be from BJ?" Ling Dong asked. An article titled "On the Harmfulness of 'Guaranteed Repurchase'" that suddenly appeared last week caused a small sensation in the circle. It can be said that it completely disrupted their rhythm and made some end customers who were originally preparing to start this model very hesitant.

Ling Dong also read the article, and he couldn't help but admire the man's careful consideration.

If it weren't for the article, he wouldn't have guessed the boss's motivation for implementing this guaranteed plan. The article not only comprehensively explained the possible harm to the industry, but more importantly, it also issued a final warning.

The market’s excessive pursuit of expansion will lead to policy sanctions, which will be fatal to terminal retail!
After reading the article, even Ling Dong, who has great self-control, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

On the one hand, I was afraid of the deeper motives of the man in front of me, but on the other hand, I was surprised that someone could analyze things so thoroughly.

Apart from the few people at the top of BJ who could have this vision, he really couldn't guess who else could have it.

"I have asked about collecting, collecting coins, and interacting. The backstage replies are very consistent. The IP is not in BJ, but in Guangzhou." (Collecting coins, collecting, and interacting are all popular forums in the industry.)
"Guangzhou! That's impossible. I've come into contact with a lot of people in the Guangzhou market during this period. I don't believe anyone can..." Ling Dong stopped talking halfway when he realized that he had said too much.

Fortunately, the man didn't say much this time, but just said: "Such a talent should have a place in our team."

"I'll check it out right away!" Ling Dong lowered his head and left the secret meeting room.
