Chapter 5: Pear Technology.
Fang Li just smiled but said nothing about his mother's comfort. He had no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, and his uncle and aunt's family were in average. It was a kindness and righteousness to be able to help raise his father's surgery fee. Everything depends on himself.
In the next week, Boss Li had completely handed over the store's business to Fang Li. He specialized in the company's procurement market. Compared with fragmented and troublesome businesses like the personal computer market, the company's procurement is where he really makes money, and he works as a single-top Fang Li in the store for a month.
The stores in Computer City have some business in this area, otherwise they will have to drink the northwest wind during the off-season of the assembly market.
At the beginning, Fang Li could only install a dozen computers a day. It was not a matter of installation speed, but only so many customers. There were so many shops in the computer city that he could not grab all the customers' business.
However, starting from the third day, with the establishment of reputation, some regular customers introduced them to the door, and Fang Li's installed capacity gradually increased. On average, there were 17 or 8 sets a day, which was calculated to earn at least 50,000 in just one week.
With the money in his hand, Fang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. This money was enough for his father's later treatment costs, but he did not hand over the money directly to his mother.
Because the father's later recovery treatment is a long-term process and does not require a one-time payment. It is best to finally make the first pot of gold, and let the money make money.
First, Fang Li applied for a Taobao store "Lizi Technology". Of course, the name was not to be a fan of apples, but just to be lazy. Who made him have a "Li" in his name?
The Taobao store quickly passed the review. This is the time when Taobao's business is growing rapidly. The application process is also very convenient. Just one ID card can be completed.
After applying for the Taobao store, Fang Li did not add the product as soon as possible, but instead found Boss Li to negotiate in advance.
Boss Li frowned as soon as he heard this: "Brother Fang, we have discussed it before. The hardware accessories will follow my quotation. You suddenly have to lower the price. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
Fang Li slapped his forehead and said regret: "Hi, Brother Li blamed me for not saying it clearly. That's right. The hardware accessories installed in our store will be based on the previous price. I'm a brother. I recently opened a Taobao store. You also know that the price on the Internet is much cheaper than the price you gave me. If I still sell it at this price, I can't sell a computer."
Boss Li picked up the teacup and drank water, and his face calmed down: "Oh, that's the case, but brother, the price of the accessories I gave you is really not much profit. Don't we have to get the goods from other agents."
Fang Li cursed in his heart: I believe you. The installation price of each hardware given by this guy is at least 40 yuan, which doesn't seem to be much. In fact, there are seven main hardware on a computer: CPU, motherboard, hard disk, memory stick, graphics card, power supply, optical drive, and seven main hardware. Together, it is a profit of nearly 300 yuan. This is why he agreed to only 200 yuan for a computer. It is equivalent to Fang Li installing a computer, and he makes 500 yuan in total. Of course, this business can be done.
"Brother Li, let's not make up these false things. In this way, I will give you a profit margin of five yuan for each hardware. But this time you can't be empty-handed, I have to see the purchase order."
Boss Li stood up and said, "Brother Fang, aren't you kidding me? A profit of five dollars, isn't I was in vain?"
"Boss Li, you are all foxes for thousands of years, so don't sing Stories from a Chinese Studio. I will give you a profit of 35 yuan on a computer. In fact, as long as you get goods with an agent exceeds a certain amount, you will get a rebate? 3% or 5%?"
As soon as these words came out, Boss Li stared at Fang Liming in shock. Although this is a hidden rule in the industry, in fact, those who really know this rule must be the old fox who has been working in the industry for several years. Because your purchase volume of goods cannot meet the requirements of the agent and the sales volume cannot be met. If you negotiate a rebate with the agent, no one will be able to win you.
Boss Li himself had been in trouble for many years before he learned about this news. He was cheated by an unscrupulous agent and had a rebate of at least tens of thousands of yuan, which was expensive.
"Okay, since Brother Fang has been talking, I won't hide it anymore. In theory, I accept your pick-up plan, but I have two conditions."
"You said."
Boss Li cleared his throat: "First, the sales volume of your online store must reach at least 300 units per month to get this price, otherwise you will have to increase the price of five yuan for every 50 units less."
Fang Li thought for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
"Second, you have to pay me the money for your online store installation once a week, otherwise I won't have that much money to get goods from the agent." Boss Li himself didn't know why he thought Fang Li's Taobao store's business would be booming. This feeling flashed by, and even he himself felt it was a bit ridiculous.
In recent years, it has been a rare occurrence for his peers to do e-commerce, but most of them give up because of bad business. After all, most of the people who make trouble with hardware have no Internet thinking.
"I agree to this one too." Fang Li calculated that the money in his hand should be able to transfer it. If it really doesn't work, there will be a daily profit of the physical store.
"Okay, this is a purchase order. Brother Fang, I have to rely on this thing to make a living. Don't spread it out." Boss Li took out a few A4 papers from his bag.
Fang Li saw that the various brands on it had a complete range of hardware, and the prices were each 30 to 80 cheaper than the installed equipment price given by Boss Li. This guy was indeed a scam, but his face was still full of smiles: "Look at what you said, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, and I can't scam myself."
"Haha, it makes sense."
As a newly opened Taobao store, the most important thing is to get the goods. For this reason, Fang Li specially borrowed a camera from the boss who sold digital cameras in the computer city to take photos of the hardware in the store. Although the SLR is better, Fang Li will not use it.
Taking photos and photo editing is a must-have for Taobao store owners. Fang Li has mastered it well. Compared with other stores, Fang Li is not only leading the photo editing technology, but also the aesthetic that transcends this era. The pictures produced by Fang Li in the post-production are even more exquisite than the promotional posters made by large manufacturers.
After working overtime for two nights, more than ten sets of configurations of varying prices were listed in the "Lizi Technology" store.
Among them, the most configuration is about 3,000 yuan, including Intel platform and AMD platform. In fact, no matter when, the sales volume of computers at this price is the best. After all, there are still a few people who are willing to spend 5,000 or 6,000 yuan to buy a computer.
For ordinary people, being able to watch videos and playing mainstream online games is enough. Real veteran players buy accessories and assemble them themselves. Who would come to Taobao to buy the whole machine?
