Generally speaking, the temperature in the south can be considered pleasant. On a March day, wearing two sweaters, it was even a little warm.
In the early morning, Song Wenjing woke up early.
This has always been my habit. Although the previous trip was quite tiring, when I woke up and looked at the clock on the wall of the hotel, it was only about 6 o'clock.
It was getting light, and Song Wenjing, who could no longer sleep, had already gotten up and was going downstairs to find a place to have a Cantonese breakfast.
From the information I learned, the location of the hotel is not very far from Huaqiangbei. Even if you walk there, it will only take half an hour at most.
Huaqiangbei Electronics Market has a long history. It was established as early as when the special zone was being prepared. It is considered the first electronics street of a certain scale in the country.
When Song Wenjing finished his breakfast and strolled around to the electronics market, it was already past 8 o'clock. At this time, most of the merchants in the electronics market had just started to open for business.
In SEG Electronics City, a huge signboard hung on the top floor of a building, making Song Wenjing seem to have returned to his previous life in an instant.
In this kind of interlocking electronic city, in his previous life, Song Wenjing often collected junk and was very familiar with the layout inside.
Of course, the things sold in today's electronic city are still very different from those in the past. At this time, SEG did not open a branch in the Shuzhou area. At this time, there were more home appliances and the like.
"Boss, what should I buy? A TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine, I have them all, come and take a look!"
As soon as he stepped through the door, a young man who was still placing goods saw Song Wenjing and started to greet him.
Of course, Song Wenjing was planning to buy a TV set. As for the size and price, of course he would have to watch it to know.
"Which brand do you sell? Forget the 12-inch one, I'll look at the 14- and 17-inch ones." Song Wenjing walked in and looked around casually.
"Boss, it depends on which brand you need. I mainly sell Panda brand and Shanghai brand here. If you want a foreign brand, no problem, I can get it at any time."
The young boss is very enthusiastic. He has just opened his first business and is obviously eager to facilitate it.
Of course, Song Wenjing would not consider those foreign brands. The prices of foreign brands at this time were ridiculously high, and there was no need to spend that money.
"I'll just take a look at the Panda brand and the Shanghai brand. If you give me a good price, I will definitely go elsewhere to look and compare. If your price is higher, there is no need for me to come here again."
After shopping around, there must be more than one TV business in the market, and Song Wenjing would certainly look around.
"Well, the price of the 17-inch Panda brand is pretty good recently. I'll give you the lowest price, 1,800 yuan. You can go around the market and see if there's anything lower than mine."
The boss was very concerned about today's first business and wanted to get off to a good start. He directly quoted a low price.
Before coming here, Song Wenjing had seen it in a state-owned shopping mall in Shuzhou. A Panda brand 17-inch color TV was priced at 2,000 yuan, without any counter-offer, and a TV ticket was required to purchase it.
Originally, Song Wenjing planned to buy a 14-inch TV and make do with it at first. But then Yang Dan raised 2,500 yuan, and his cousin also spent his only 700 yuan. Master Shang Shaohua learned that Song Wenjing was going to open a video parlor.
, also provided support and also lent him 800 yuan.
In addition to his own 1,700 yuan, he brought a total of 5,700 yuan in cash to Pengcheng this time.
Since the funds are sufficient, of course it is better to do it in one step to avoid upgrading in the future.
Moreover, if the TV is larger, the rented house can have two more rows of seats. In this way, the income can be increased a lot.
"Okay, boss. How about I go around inside first and come back later?"
Of course, Song Wenjing would not listen to his boss's words, but he was still prepared to continue to spin around.
"Okay, no problem. But let me tell you, if you run away, it will be in vain. If you don't believe me, just try it." The boss said confidently.
Song Wenjing was too familiar with this way of doing business, so he would not really believe it.
So, after checking the TV picture for a while, I left the counter and went to other places.
There were not many people in the market at this time, and most of them were employees of the merchants themselves. Song Wenjing was one of the earliest customers.
Someone has been staring at Song Wenjing for a long time, waiting for him to come out from the TV counter.
"Boss, how about a digital watch? It's absolutely high quality and cheap. It's all made in Hong Kong."
"What's the price?"
"It's ten yuan each. If you want more, I'll give you a cheaper price."
"You are trying to take advantage of me, brother. On my way here just now, two people came over to sell me. They only asked for 6 yuan each. You directly quoted 10 yuan, which is too shameless."
"Hey, brother, don't leave. The price is negotiable. Come over and take a look at the goods first!"
Just as Song Wenjing was about to leave, he was grabbed and stood in front of the clock-making counter again.
Electronic watches entered the domestic market as early as the 1980s. At the beginning, the price was very fast, selling for fifty or sixty yuan. Later, as more and more products were produced, the price gradually came down.
Of course, Song Wenjing was deceiving the other party when he said they only cost 6 yuan outside. He came early and had never met anyone selling electronic watches.
Song Wenjing was thinking in his heart, if it was indeed very cheap here, he planned to buy a batch back and sell them piece by piece in the Shuzhou market. I believe he could always make some money. This trip to Pengcheng cannot be in vain, he must bring some with him.
Order something and earn back the cost of travel and accommodation.
According to his understanding, in the center of Shuzhou, people often sell electronic watches secretly, and they sell them for ten yuan. If it is profitable here, of course he is willing to make a fortune.
"Boss, just give me a real price and don't play with the fictitious things. I am also in business myself and know the ins and outs." Song Wenjing said pretending to be mature.
"Okay, since you're happy, I'm happy too. How about you just tell me how much you want, and I'll figure out what price is right based on your quantity?"
The boss took out several electronic watches directly from the counter for Song Wenjing to choose from.
"One hundred. I want some of several styles. You give me the lowest price and I'll see if I can accept it!"
One hundred electronic watches, if Song Wenjing went to a place with a large flow of people in the city to sell them, it would probably be sold out in a month at most.
The boss did not answer Song Wenjing's question immediately, but pondered for a moment, "4 yuan 5, this is the lowest price I can give. If you don't believe it, go and ask in the market. The price of electronic watches is too transparent here now.
The profit isn’t very big either.”
Song Wenjing still knows the approximate price. He estimates that the boss's purchase price should be around 4 yuan. Looking at it further, the profit will not be very big.
So he didn't hesitate again, "Okay, then I will purchase 100 pieces. But I need to inspect the goods. If there is a problem, that's not okay."
"Of course, I'm right here. If there's any problem, just come and change it." The boss agreed happily.
Song Wenjing would not think about coming back to change in the future. It would not be easy for him to come to Pengcheng once.
Half an hour later, the inspection was finally completed. After Song Wenjing paid the money, he also received the 100 electronic watches in his bag.
"Hey, brother, this imported Walkman is a good thing."
The owner of the counter next to the electronic watches had been staring at Song Wenjing for a long time, waiting for him to finish selling the electronic watches and call him in.
The Walkman only entered the market in the mid-1980s. Currently, there are not many of them in China. They are only sold in some southern cities.
According to Song Wenjing's understanding, most of these things are parallel imports, and many of them are secretly shipped in from Hong Kong Island.
"What's the price?"
"1,700 yuan."
"Bye-Bye……"
After hearing the price, Song Wenjing walked away without even thinking about it.
Just kidding, in a year or two, this thing will cost at most two to three hundred yuan. 1,700 yuan? You can buy a big color TV. Do you really think that Song Wenjing is a genius?
