Department stores in Jiangcheng County are still decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations because it is close to the Spring Festival.
Festive red lanterns and Xia Guojie are hung on the ceiling.
Spring couplets are also posted at the door of the store, and the shop assistants are also wearing bright red festive clothes.
Big speakers are roaring in various stores, and various New Year promotions are coming one after another.
Yang Ling looked at this scene with a smile on his lips.
It’s Spring Festival!
This is the first Spring Festival after my rebirth, but it is also the most worth waiting for in the past few decades (before and after my rebirth).
After all, before Yang Ling was reborn, although there were many confidantes in that world, his parents died young and Su Yi also left very early. Yang Ling had no father, mother, or children, and was alone with nothing to miss.
But things are different now. He has a father, Su Yi, and a family.
Yang Ling came to the home appliance section of the department store.
It’s the Chinese New Year, and many families have to buy new home appliances, so the business of home appliances is very good.
On the vcd side, Aido has also started promotions.
However, after the big price cuts in the middle of last year, the consumption potential of urban consumers has been exhausted. The current promotional prices are not as cheap as the preferential prices in the middle of last year, and people have even less desire to buy.
In Jiangcheng County in 1998, everyone who had the conditions to buy VCDs bought them. Those who didn't have the conditions to buy them would not buy them even if the price dropped.
Unless the price of VCDs has greater discounts or there are better innovations in functions, it will be difficult to attract the enthusiasm of consumers.
In fact, both Xu Wenshan and Zhou Aiguo have been in business for many years. They also saw the weakness in VCD sales, so they decided to renovate second-hand VCDs and sell the products to the countryside.
Moreover, Zhou Aiguo and Xu Wenshan were actually in the market during this period, and they sold the VCDs that Yang Ling had repaired some time ago at lower prices.
And most of the buyers are people from nearby villages and towns in Jiangcheng County.
It’s the New Year, and people in villages and towns also want to buy some New Year’s goods for their homes. Buying VCDs is cheaper than buying a big color TV and a big refrigerator, and it’s more respectable and practical.
When everyone gets together for the New Year's Eve, or when relatives come over at the beginning of the new year, I turn on the VCD and see Hong Kong movies on the TV. It feels absolutely foreign.
Xu Wenshan saw Yang Ling from a distance and ran over happily and said: "Brother Yang, where have you made a fortune these days? I called you several pagers, but you didn't answer any of them."
Xu Wenshan personally poured tea for Yang Ling again.
The last time Yang Ling came, the cup Xu Wenshan used to pour water for guests had cracked inside and turned yellow outside.
This time, Xu Wenshan went to his office to pick up the cups he usually used for tea ceremonies.
These small details were noticed by Yang Ling. Yang Ling laughed and didn't understand.
After Yang Ling drank two cups of water, he said, "Brother Yang, didn't you promise me last time that you would help me replace some motherboards? It's been a week, why haven't you brought them over yet?"
Why is Xu Wenshan not in a hurry? The customer is ready, but there is no goods!
Xu Wenshan carried out another box, which contained all kinds of VCDs. They all had a common feature, that is, these VCDs were all old and of different quality.
Yang Ling roughly counted and found that there were about twenty or thirty VCDs here.
Yang Ling chuckled and said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Xu, I did promise you that I would get the VCD motherboard out as soon as possible, but when I was halfway through it, I found that I would only lose money at the price you gave me."
Xu Wenshan's expression suddenly changed.
In fact, in the past few days, Xu Wenshan and Zhou Aiguo also discussed the business of producing VCD motherboards and some parts by themselves, and refurbishing VCDs themselves.
However, after much tossing and tossing, both parties found that this business was not easy to do.
The most fundamental reason is that the two of them do not have this technology. Even though many of the after-sales maintenance workers are very knowledgeable about circuit boards, they do not know how to turn a circuit board into a VCD circuit board.
It involves mechanical equipment, and the most important thing is the design of the circuit board.
Those who actually design VCD circuit boards are all design teams from large coastal companies, and some are even from overseas teams.
These people would never work in a small county like Jiangcheng. Even if they could come to work in Jiangcheng, the price demanded would be something Xu Wenshan and Zhou Aiguo would not be able to pay.
Therefore, Yang Ling, whom they despised, did not expect to be the most important part of their plan.
Zhou Aiguo even called the electronic component factory in Shenzhen City and contacted his friends in Shenzhen City to see if he could find a way to make a VCD motherboard.
Zhou Aiguo still imagined this matter too simply.
Even in some circuit board processing factories in Shenzhen, no one can make VCD circuit motherboards.
The design of the VCD circuit motherboard is very simple for Yang Ling, but it is still quite difficult for non-professionals.
Under this situation, Zhou Aiguo thought about it and decided to work with Xu Wenshan to find Yang Ling to cooperate.
Although Xu Wenshan didn't like hearing what Yang Ling said, he had no choice. Now he wanted to ask someone for help and said, "What price is more suitable for Brother Yang?"
Yang Ling looked at these VCDs and found that they were not as good as the ones he got from the Shenzhen market.
Yang Ling looked at it and said, "400 yuan."
When the price came out, Xu Wenshan was shocked.
"400 yuan?" Xu Wenshan said quickly: "You only charged me 350 yuan the first time."
Yang Ling pointed to a VCD on the shelf and said, "No, you are going to raise the price!"
Yang Ling put down the box of VCDs and prepared to leave.
This is how business is, and there must be no constant profit sharing.
Because everyone is in it for money, if you keep giving away profits, others will take advantage of you even more.
Now Yangling has technology, raw materials, equipment and factories.
The only thing missing is the market.
And the market is demand!
Yang Ling believed that even without the help of Xu Wenshan and Zhou Aiguo, he would be able to start a business.
Yang Ling said: "If Mr. Xu needs it, just call my pager."
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Yang Ling!" Xu Wenshan came over quickly, unaware that Yang Ling had already entered the crowd.
Xu Wenshan looked at a box of discarded VCDs and patted the table in frustration.
"Boss, can the price be more favorable? Other companies' Xinfei only costs 1,600, but yours costs 1,700."
Xu Wenshan was in a bad mood and said: "There is no discount, this is the price, how much money can we make from a VCD!"
"Hey, what's your attitude?" The consumer was dissatisfied.
Xu Wenshan was annoyed and quickly called Zhou Aiguo.
