Reborn I am a bear child

Chapter 28 The tape is unsalable!

After the holiday, I went to the rental house and saw all the workers squatting at the door. Brother Gou was squatting there smoking a cigarette with gauze wrapped around his head. I stepped forward and asked, "Why? Didn't work start today?"

When Changmao saw me coming, he stood up and said, "We don't have much money in our hands. We basically bought Li Yue's tapes with all the money. Now the house is almost full, and people can't even get in! "

When I opened the rental house, I was dumbfounded. The house was slowly piled up. There were at least tens of thousands of tapes. The other party sold so many tapes at the cost price?
"You bought them all at a cost price of [-] cents?" I asked Changmao in surprise.

"That's right!" Changmao patted his head and said, "No, Li Yue did sell it for [-] cents at the beginning, but recently the price has started to pick up, and when it reaches [-] cents, he stopped buying. There are almost [-] cassettes here. , there are all kinds of records, basically more than half of them are tapes of popular stars!"

"So what's the price now?" I asked.

Brother Gou took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "Li Yue is not an idiot. He came here seven or eight days ago. He saw that we hadn't closed down yet, so he raised the price at that time, and the price of a genuine tape was competing with the two of us. Now the price of [-] cents has been restored, and the price is still increasing, mainly because the price of magnetic strips and plastic sheets is increasing!"

I looked at the tapes all over the room and said to the two of them: "Then what are you waiting for? Go out and sell it now. We have no labor costs. To put it bluntly, these tapes were given to us by Li Yue. If they are handed over, they will be money." what!!"

The faces of Brother Gou and Changmao were not very good-looking. They leaned against the wall with a frowning look. After a while, Brother Gou said: "We can't sell it. We were tricked by Li Yue. We stocked up so much. Now the production capacity of the original factory is stronger than ours, and the goods of many retail stores are no longer purchased in a short time!!"

"The most important thing is that these tapes are very popular now. Once the popularity of those stars drops, these tapes will really not be sold!" Changmao said helplessly.

Market saturation?

I was too busy fighting with Li Yue. I forgot that both we and Li Yue are like ants in front of those regular tape manufacturers. Now the market in the urban area has been occupied by the manufacturers. If this batch of goods cannot be sold, I am afraid they will go bankrupt. Sooner or later, how to expand without working capital?

"Doesn't Sun Dagui want it?" I thought for a while and asked.

Brother Gou sighed and said: "There are only a few people in the urban area who like portable tape recorders. Everyone's financial situation is limited, and the tapes are updated frequently. Now many retail stores have stockpiled a large number of tapes!!"

The market is saturated and new markets must be discovered!
I guess Li Yue is not feeling well right now. The scene of the fight has really hurt both sides. Changmao squatted there smoking a cigarette. I thought for a while and said, "By the way, from now on, you will come forward publicly here, and don't let others know of my existence." , When you go to school to find me, don't be at the main entrance, go to the back wall!"

Brother Gou and Changmao nodded, the atmosphere was a bit dull, Brother Gou was smoking one cigarette after another, there was a sound of a car outside the door, and then Li Yue pushed the door in, and when he saw the three of us, he laughed and said : "Little boss, have you taken advantage of the sky? I spent labor and transportation money, and finally made you a wedding dress. Take a look at the tapes in this warehouse. During this time, the The workers are exhausted!!"

"You haven't made any money after you've been busy for so long?" I stared at Li Yue and said, "How can there be an egg under the whole nest? Don't come and laugh at us this time, your life will be hard!"

Li Yue's complexion changed, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "The little boss is right. Our scale is too small. Even if the two companies join forces, they are not the opponents of those factories. Now the market share has been almost robbed." Now, let me tell you the truth, our tapes can’t be sold these days!”

"Why did you come to see us?" Brother Gou said angrily, "We don't dare to deal with Boss Li. My brother Gou's head injury is not healed yet!"

"Look at what you said, it really looks like I'm behind my back!" Li Yue said with a look of being wronged: "I just came to see, after all, we are on the same boat now, and the result of not expanding is to be caught by those The big factory ran and went bankrupt, that's all the talk, I'm leaving first!"

After Li Yue left, Brother Gou yelled and cursed: "Shit!!"

Changmao lost his mind looking at the tapes all over the room, and asked me, "There are so many tapes, what should I do?"

what to do?Of course it was for sale, and I tried to find a way to sell it. I stood up and thought for a while and said, "Go to Sun Dagui first to see what's going on, and we'll talk about it when the time comes!"

After going out to Sun Dagui's place, only Sun Xiaoli was there. Sun Xiaoli asked after seeing Brother Gou, "Are you feeling better?"

"It's much better. I haven't had anything lately. I just have high resistance and excellent recovery ability!" Brother Gou patted his chest and said, "What kind of man doesn't have any injuries on his head!!"

Changmao whispered to me: "Brother Gou ran here every day during that time, and started talking nonsense when he saw Sun Xiaoli. I was just wondering, where did he talk so much!"

I looked at Changmao and shook my head without saying a word, then asked Sun Xiaoli, "Where's your brother?"

"Brother, someone is looking for it!!" Sun Xiaoli shouted at the door.

After Sun Dagui came back, Brother Gou suddenly froze. Seeing me coming, Sun Dagui looked a little embarrassed, coughed a few times and said, "The little boss is here. I know why you came. I have been hoarding goods here recently. It's really not good." Dare to take over again, you also know that the popularity of this tape depends on those singers, once the singer dies, the popularity of fans goes down, the tape will not be able to sell, don’t talk about small stars now, even those things Even the great heavenly kings are gone!"

Sun Dagui is right. Now the sales of tapes are all supported by groupies. This year, the country as a whole is in a downturn. It is normal for tapes to be unsalable. It can be regarded as a hurdle.

The most important thing to do now is to expand the market, but where can I sell it other than the urban area? Now the scale is too small, and I can't go to other places to develop the market. I am worried. A middle-aged man in his thirties pushed the door in. , Sun Xiaoli on the side hurriedly said: "Welcome, do you need a tape or a portable tape recorder?"

The man had a dusty face, and there was a car outside the door. He seemed to have come from a long way. The man wandered around the store and said to Sun Dagui, "Brother, I am In the surrounding counties, do you wholesale tapes here? I also opened a tape store in our county, but no one supplies them, take a look."

Before Sun Dagui spoke, Brother Gou suddenly became excited. I saw that Brother Gou was about to open his mouth to grab business in front of others and kicked him. Sun Dagui frowned and said every day: "Oh, I'm also out of stock recently. , and at this price!!"

"The price is easy to talk about. We are out of stock there. Those factories think our place is small and won't deliver the goods. Tell me a price!" the man said without hesitation.

Sun Dagui didn't say the price, but turned his head to look at us. I hurriedly stood up and said, "We still have something to do, so don't bother me, goodbye!!"

After leaving the door, Changmao shouted: "That person just went to Sun Dagui's place because he obviously couldn't find a source of goods. Why didn't he talk? Where are we? It looks like Sun Dagui is going to kill that person!"

"I was just going to say why you kicked me!" Brother Gou said helplessly, "It is true that tapes can no longer be sold in urban areas, but those places in the county are just becoming popular!"

"You can still grab business in front of others? Your brain is kicked by a donkey?" I was also depressed, and said to the two of them: "Do you know a saying that cutting people's fortunes is no less than killing their parents? Wait, wait for that person to come out!!"

I have been waiting at the door for more than two hours, and the person came out several times, probably because he thought the price was too high. I vaguely heard that Sun Dagui was selling it for one dollar a box.
The man finally came out, his face was not very good-looking, he had two more packs of tapes in his hand, and then he rode away. Brother Gou hurriedly chased him and forced him to stop, holding two packs of tapes nervously, as if we It looks like robbery!
"Don't be nervous, we met in the store just now!" Changmao said.

"Yes, we just want to ask you how much the tapes cost?" I asked.

The man relaxed this time, sighed and said: "Now this tape is very expensive, and it is out of stock everywhere. Several audio-visual stores in our county are very expensive to buy. Today, this is a product that costs [-] cents. Sell ​​it first!"

It seems that the shops in the city are eaten up. These small shops in the county towns have no channels to buy goods, so they show their knives and slaughter them. I am a child and the other party may not believe me. I winked at Brother Gou, and the other party Immediately understood, he said, "To tell you the truth, brother, I have a lot of tapes on hand, the price is negotiable, why don't you go and have a look?"

The other party looked at Brother Gou and said, "How many do you have?"

"Anyway, there are many, so there is no problem in supplying your county!" Changmao said.

The other party was overjoyed immediately, rode to the place, opened the rental room, the other party was dumbfounded seeing so many tapes, Brother Gou repeatedly assured that the quality was trustworthy, and if there was a quality problem, the product could be returned.

"How much money do you have?" The man said, "Our county is out of stock now, and the surrounding counties are also out of stock!"

Brother Gou and Changmao looked at me, I pondered for a while and said: "There are a lot of tapes, if you buy less, the price will be higher, starting at fifty boxes, nine cents for one box, eighty-five cents for more than three hundred boxes, the lowest price You can go for seventy cents!!"

Now it's not a question of earning more and earning less. You have to sell the hoarded goods. Once these tapes are out of date, there will be nothing left!
