Back to eighteen, if I don't stand up, I'll be wasted

Chapter 20: No Reply
Of course, it could also be a middle-aged internet addict.

Li Yi can be said to have been a teenager addicted to the internet, and the entire Internet cafe is basically full of people like him.

What would such people consume?
Virtual items are one thing, but Li Yi can't get so many virtual items, and those things have too many limitations and are not suitable for everyone.

You may work yourself to death but still earn very little money.

These people are all immersed in the spiritual world. It is impossible to sell them clothes and shoes.

They can just wear their underwear even if it has holes in it, but their clothes and shoes are completely useless.

Family planning products? How many people who are addicted to the internet to this extent have girlfriends? Unless they have some perverted hobby and like to use it on the air.

What they need most is a pair of hands that can replace them.

Soon, Li Yi found his target and chatted privately with the store owner.

"Boss, do you have your own brand?"

"Yes, you're here to ask about the agency?"

"No, we are a distribution platform. We want to wholesale in large quantities and would like to ask if you have pricing power."

Currently, there are very few products on the Internet that are sold through distributors, except for some big brands.

Small brands are basically made by the merchants themselves.

Therefore, for many small brands, you can only find a few of them when searching, unlike the situation a few years or even more than ten years later when you can find a large number of them when searching casually.

When the merchant across the street heard that we wanted to wholesale in large quantities, he immediately became interested.

Ask directly: "Boss, how much is your order volume?"

Li Yi: "To be conservative, maybe 10,000 pieces, but it still depends on the traffic situation. The company sent me here to discuss the price and see how big a discount you can give."

As the boss of a factory, he must know what Li Yi meant. Ten thousand pieces is not a small order. It is basically the factory's monthly production volume.

After all, this small brand is not very big, and not many products can be bought online, so most of its products have to be sold to others under their own label.

Their OEM business basically only recoups the cost price, and the profit is almost negligible.

So the merchant asked, "Boss, what do you mean by rebate?"

"We don't offer rebates. We're a legitimate company. Boss, just give us a bargain price. We have a stable flow of traffic every day. If you're not confident, you can try to cooperate with us in the early stages. If the orders don't meet the standards, you can cancel the contract at any time."

Li Yi didn't know how much that thing cost, but it was too much of a rip-off for the merchant to sell it for 698.

Is it inlaid with gold?

Merchant: "How about 598? This is close to our cost price, and our profit is very limited."

"We are sincere in buying it. Boss, this price you are offering is just a joke."

"398, this is already our cost price!"

"Boss, we're not just doing one deal. If the purchase volume is small, we won't say anything if you just sell it at the original price! Also, our data traffic fees are not cheap. You should also be aware of how much it costs to run a through train in a month. Can it bring in 10,000 targeted users?"

Merchant: "Boss, this is really the cost price. If we outsource it to others, the price is about the same."

Li Yi: "The market is not limited to yours, and I'm asking more than just yours... If you keep going like this, we won't be able to reach an agreement."

"298!"

Li Yi felt that the time was almost up, so he said directly: "I'll give you a number: 98! If you can accept that, then we can discuss it in detail. If you can't accept it, there's nothing I can do."

The other party responded very quickly before, but after hearing Li Yi's offer, he fell silent.

This is fucking like them putting their own label on someone else's products.

But the OEM shipments are stable at three to four thousand per month, but Li Yi only has a few?

Even though they say ten thousand, it's unlikely that it's actually only one thousand.

They had seen a lot of people like this before. After a while, the merchant said, "Boss, if you can guarantee the order volume, we will do this business even if we lose money. Our main purpose is to expand brand awareness, and the loss will be considered advertising expenses."

"We'll do the first wave of push tonight. You can take a look at the order volume then. If you're not satisfied, you can change your mind at any time. Besides, we didn't ask you to ship first and pay later. We'll settle the payment right then and there. If you really feel like you're being shortchanged, forget it."

Merchant: "It's okay, it's okay, we believe you."

"Okay, then I've made a promotional brochure for your store. I also hope you can change the price to 1399..."

"what?"

"Please take a look at what I sent you first."

Soon, the merchant received a document.

After opening it, there are promotional pictures of their own products.

What about a famous teacher's one-to-one mold, using absolutely safe silicone material, and going through more than 9,000 procedures...

A lot anyway.

After seeing this, the merchants’ first feeling was, does this violate the Advertising Law?
But after a closer look, I found that the wording was very subtle and all of it was vague.

Apart from the possibility that the island country teacher might report the infringement of reputation rights, there seems to be no other problem.

However, teachers in the Japanese country are used to being violated in real life, so they probably won’t be so bored as to care about online violations.

Just ...

What is the price change operation?

They don't mind changing the price. After all, it's a small brand and not many people come in a day.

……

After Li Yi had settled the matter, he found the two teams that had previously stayed in the channel.

Currently, the two teams are each responsible for twelve hours, and the reception is done in six shifts.

"Brother, you've basically passed the assessment. Now there's only one thing left. You just need to master the channel's core business in the next two days, and then you can officially sign the contract! I've written the scripts and product content for you. Have your hosts memorize them."

……

Li Yi doesn’t know how much he can sell, so the conversion rate may not be high.

But he plans to set the price at 298. Even if he can only sell dozens of orders, the profit will be enough.

He also knew that even if sales were good on the first day and the second day, sales would get worse as time went on.

There aren't many things that can attract this group of internet-addicted teenagers, and with limited coverage, even the highest conversion rate has its limits.

But some things have no limits, at least relative to Li Yi at present.

He was busy until after ten o'clock, then he got up to stretch his legs and went to the Internet cafe next door to get a bowl of noodles.

While eating noodles, he felt as if he had forgotten something.

It was fine when I was busy before, but as soon as I had some free time, I couldn’t help but think about other things.

I opened my phone and saw the message from Song Xin.

"When are you coming to get your household registration? The rent is due soon."

Li Yi casually replied, "Go get it tomorrow."

Afterwards, I found Jiang Li’s QQ.

"Damn it! You didn't even reply to my message!"
