Liu Wen is indeed a very careful girl. She keeps the small store in order and has 10 "brand new" VCDs on the shelves.
There are also some posters posted on the wall, of course not VCD posters, but some promotional posters for DVDs or celebrity posters.
Yang Ling also gained another thing in Shenzhen market, that is - a large number of pirated VCD discs.
Some of them are from movies and TV shows, and of course there are also songs.
These VCD discs may cost more than 10 yuan each in an inland city like Jiangcheng County. If you rent a video disc, it costs 1 yuan each.
But in Shenzhen City, a VCD only costs two yuan.
Yang Ling also purchases a large number of VCDs. When consumers buy VCDs from him, Yang Ling will give away two movie DVDs or two music DVDs.
This can also increase everyone's desire to buy.
Today is the first weekend after the Spring Festival working day.
As far as traditional Xia people are concerned, the Spring Festival is truly celebrated only after the fifteenth day of the New Year.
There are some people in rural areas who want to work in coastal cities, but because the factories have not yet started operating, they are stuck at home during this period.
Therefore, in a market at the junction of urban and rural areas like Fangcao Street, even though the Spring Festival has passed, the flow of people is still very large.
Yang Ling and Liu Wen were sitting in the store that day. Liu Wen also had a new job, which was to sell refurbished second-hand VCDs in the store.
Ma Dayong, the boss who sells second-hand VCDs and CDs next door, has been secretly and openly exploring Yang Ling's store many times.
Ma Dayong was actually very unhappy because there were not many shops selling VCDs on Fangcao Street.
He is considered one of the bigger ones.
Because there are not many stores and the demand is strong, Ma Dayong's business has been pretty good in the past few years. Moreover, Ma Dayong's annual sales and maintenance business can earn 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year.
Fifty or sixty thousand yuan is not a small amount of money for Ma Dayong.
Because of doing business here, Ma Dayong not only bought a house in Jiangcheng County, but also renovated the house in his hometown in the countryside.
Ma Dayong's next goal is to buy a car of his own.
So when he saw that Yang Ling also opened a VCD sales store, he felt very unhappy.
But what if I’m unhappy?
You can't just ask people to destroy Yang Ling's shop, right?
He could only observe first. If the business in Yangling's store was not good, it wouldn't matter.
If Yang Ling's business is good, Ma Dayong will definitely take measures.
Ma Dayong's supply of goods is completely different from Yang Ling's.
His sources of goods are basically from Jiangzhou City.
Some VCD users want to replace their VCDs and sell the obsolete VCDs to Ma Dayong, or to home appliance repair points in Jiangzhou City and its subordinate counties.
Users sell it directly to Ma Dayong. Ma Dayong can sell it directly after checking it and if there is no problem. If there is any problem, he can simply repair it. If it is still usable, he can sell it.
If the problem is more serious, such as the motherboard being broken, Ma Dayong has no choice but to remove the usable parts and use them for repairing other VCDs.
As for the second-hand VCDs purchased by home appliance repair shops in Jiangcheng County or other places in Jiangzhou City, this market is basically monopolized by someone, namely Xu Wenshan and Zhou Aiguo.
If these second-hand VCDs are of better quality, they will definitely be sold in the city. Those of lower quality will be eliminated in urban-rural areas like Fangcao Street and sold to factory workers with poor economic conditions or people in the countryside.
farmer.
As for the quality of the VCDs sold, Ma Dayong can only say haha.
What about the quality of second-hand goods?
Therefore, the items purchased here by Ma Dayong are basically non-refundable once sold.
There are many VCDs that can be used when tested in Ma Dayong's store, but if they suddenly burp after taking them home and using them for a few weeks or months, that's considered bad luck for you.
After all, buying second-hand items is like opening a blind box, it all depends on luck.
But even if there is no after-sales service and it is a second-hand product, it still has a high sales volume on Fangcao Street, which shows that this product has a specific market and group of people.
In 1997, China was still a relatively backward developing country. The income of most people was not high, and cheap prices were the primary consideration for everyone when buying things.
The shop in Yangling opened at 8:00 in the morning, but from 8:00 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon, there was not even a single order of business.
On the contrary, many customers walked directly into Ma Dayong's store.
After all, Ma Dayong's store has been open on Fangcao Street for several years, and they are all old faces.
If you buy electronic products, you can't go to a newly opened store to buy them.
Liu Wen was a little anxious and discouraged. She was restless in the store.
Yang Ling was calm and relaxed, drinking tea and watching the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
I have to say that Louis Koo and Li Ruotong's version is the most classic version. Although the special effects and scenery in the 1990s are very exaggerated, there are also some bad ones.
But that doesn't cover up the fact that this is a classic play.
Liu Wen couldn't hold back her anger, "Brother Ling, why do you think we don't have business here?"
Yang Ling said: "The store has just opened. It is normal for there to be no business. Please be patient."
Yang Ling could have thought of the difficulties he was currently facing.
Just imagine, if she had cooperated with Zhou Aiguo and Xu Wenshan, Yang Ling would not have to worry about sales at all.
Everything has pros and cons. Yang Ling said: "Sit down until half past five, and then we get off work."
Liu Wen couldn't help laughing and said: "Do you really think you work in a factory?"
At this moment, an old gentleman with a worried face walked over in a hurry, carrying a green bag.
Liu Wen thought business was coming and quickly stood up and smiled at the old man.
Unexpectedly, the old man didn't even look at Liu Wen. He first looked to the right at Lingtian Home Appliances on Yang Ling's side, and then looked to the right at Dayong Home Appliances on Ma Dayong's side.
Then we walked into Dayong Home Appliances.
Liu Wen sat down in frustration and complained: "Is it because I didn't pay attention to Feng Shui when looking for a shop? I sat here all day and there was no business at all."
At this time, Yang Ling and Liu Wen both heard the quarrel in the shop next door.
Ma Dayong: "Uncle, I admit that this VCD of yours was indeed bought in my store."
"But I made it very clear when we first sold it. What we sell here are second-hand items. If you test them in the store, there will be no problem. Even if there is a problem when you take it back, we will be irresponsible."
"Besides, you've been using this VCD for more than half a year, so it doesn't make sense for you to come to me now."
The uncle said angrily: "I bought the VCD from you just for my son and daughter-in-law to watch when they come back for the Chinese New Year. I left it at home without touching it, but something went wrong as soon as I opened it during the Chinese New Year."
