Lin Yi was not in a hurry to purchase goods. He visited all the stores and asked about the prices of various commodities, trying to fully understand the current market conditions.
Through comparison, Lin Yi found that the prices on the island were indeed cheaper than those in Linjiayuan, and there were more types of goods, including sunglasses, cosmetics, instant noodles, suits, bat shirts, tape recorders, televisions, and even motorcycles.
Moreover, there are more goods stored here. Every house is filled with goods, and the stalls at the door are just samples to attract customers.
Nowadays, the biggest difficulty in doing business is transportation. The state prohibits long-distance transportation and the sale of industrial products. When obtaining a self-employed license, the Industry and Commerce Bureau issued a business catalog with more than ten pages for the prohibited portion and only two or three pages for the permitted portion.
His biggest reliance is space, so the products he sells must be small in size and high in added value.
Of all the products Lin Yi considered, sunglasses met the criteria the most.
"Boss, how do you sell sunglasses?"
I came to a store that specializes in selling sunglasses. The room was filled with all kinds of sunglasses, and the packaging was only the simplest transparent plastic bags.
"Resin lenses here are priced at 1.2 yuan, a pair is 1.5 yuan, glass lenses are 2.6 yuan, and brown lenses are 2.8 yuan. There are also plastic frames and metal frames. The best ones are 3.6 a pair.
, all have import labels on them.”
By type, the cheapest resin glasses cost more than one yuan, glass lenses are more expensive, and the most expensive ones only cost more than three yuan.
Lin Yi calculated it in his mind. The cheapest one can be sold for five yuan, and the most expensive one can be sold for fifteen or even eighteen. The profit can reach three to five times. It is not worse than the electronic watch at all, and this one can be placed
If you sell it in the market, you don't need to be sneaky like a digital watch, it should sell faster.
"Boss, give me a woven bag." Lin Yi said.
When the boss heard Lin Yi's tone, he knew he was a big customer, and smiled and handed over a sturdy Stanley woven bag.
We all load the goods here ourselves, and when we bring in hundreds of boxes at a time, the boss can't keep an eye on them. It's most convenient to do the counting at the door after loading, and you can't steal them anyway.
But they don't know,
There are people in this world who have such heaven-defying abilities as space.
Thinking silently about renting a prime space, I grabbed a handful of sunglasses and stuffed them into a woven bag. When I let go, two-thirds of them had been sucked away. I dug out the goods in the pile and accidentally took another part away.
that's all,
Lin Yi packed one bag of goods, and the space had already received two bags.
It wasn't that Lin Yi didn't want to give money, it was that he found that the more than 10,000 yuan he brought was simply not enough to fill a cubic meter of space.
You can't catch a sheep and pluck it up.
Lin Yi went to another store, which also wholesaled large quantities of toad mirrors. Lin Yi picked up a variety of different styles and filled another bag.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon,
Lin Yi boarded the ship carrying two large woven bags, and everyone else also carried large and small bags, similar in appearance to Lin Yi.
At this time, people's mood was obviously much more relaxed, and many people were chatting.
Most of these purchasers are two or more people, and there are very few people like Lin Yi who work alone. They chat about what is easy to sell, and what price they will sell it for. Lin Yi listens to their chat and takes the opportunity to learn a lot of information.
What these people talk about the most is how strict the inspections are on the road. One of them has been inspected three times in a row.
On the contrary, when I go back to the place where I sell goods, there is basically no one to care about it, and the sales situation is very good. No matter what goods I bring back, they will be sold out in a short time.
It's strange these days.
Although people have little income, their consumption is very barbaric.
A black-and-white TV costs 400 to 500 yuan, and no one can grab it. A tape recorder costs 200 to 300 yuan for a cheap price, and 400 to 500 yuan for an expensive one, but many people still buy it. It’s not worth spending half your life’s accumulated income to buy something big. Hanhu.
It seems that if you buy it, you will earn it.
On the contrary, modern people mostly rely on the situation when consuming, and their savagery is far less than that of the 1980s and 1990s.
Lin Yi can also understand that the mortgage loan is stressful.
It was already dark when we returned to Nansha. Everyone disembarked with the goods and carried them back to the hotel with difficulty. As soon as Lin Yi put the things in the room, the owner of the store came.
"Little brother, we have bought a lot of goods." The boss looked at Lin Yi's two large woven bags and said.
"It cost several thousand," Lin Yi said.
"Isn't the place I introduced good?"
"Yes, thank you boss." Lin Yi knew the other party's intention, took out 50 yuan from his pocket and handed it over. This was the introduction fee agreed before.
The boss smiled and took the money.
"The room fee for these two days will be waived for you. I will stay here next time I come. If you want to go to the island, I will contact you. Next time it will only cost 50."
"If you are not satisfied with that place, I can also introduce you to a new market. The introduction fee is still 50. Don't worry, it will definitely not be worse than here."
Lin Yixin said that the boss did good business.
Newcomers earn RMB 100 each, and returning customers earn RMB 50. You don’t know how much you can earn in a year just for the introduction fee. No wonder people say that the more water you have, the easier it is to raise fish. After forming an industrial chain, not only the main business makes money, but also more peripheral industries. .
"Okay, I'll see the boss next time I get back." Lin Yi said with a smile.
Suddenly something came to mind, "Boss, can you help me buy a sleeper berth ticket?"
It's very difficult to buy sleeper berth tickets these days. It doesn't matter that it's not your turn at all. When Lin Yi came here, he bought the tickets from a trusted person, but he didn't care about the return ticket.
"Let me ask about the sleeper berth tickets."
"Thank you, boss."
The boss left, probably to ask for money from other customers. He will ask for money after finishing the work. This boss is actually quite honest in what he does.
After a tiring day, Lin Yi simply took a shower and went to bed. The next day, he went downstairs to have breakfast. As soon as he came back from the meal, the boss stuck his head out of the window and waved to Lin Yi, "Brother, it's for the train tickets." I asked you something."
Lin Yi hurried over.
"You can get a sleeper berth ticket and add 50 to the fare. Are you willing?" the boss said.
The ticket price is more than fifty, which is equivalent to doubling the price. Lin Yi knows that the money is for the related person, and the boss should also get a share of it, but it doesn't matter, this is normal, the price is clearly marked. It depends on whether you are willing or not.
"Okay, I want it. You can get one for me." Lin Yi agreed simply.
The boss smiled and nodded, "You give me 110 yuan first, and I will send it to you directly after I get the tickets."
Lin Yi happily took out the money and said, "Thank you, boss."
...
night,
Lin Yi boarded the train back to Jiangcheng. When he left the hotel, he still had two big bags in his hand, but before entering the train station, they turned into a broken travel bag with only a few clothes and some food in it.
Those goods naturally fit into the space.
After putting the two big bags in, the space became full. This was all calculated by Lin Yi. It took a long time to come here, but it was cost-effective to fill it up no matter what.
Bang~
Bang~,
The monotonous sound of railway tracks sounds quite rhythmic once you are used to it. Later generations of high-speed trains passed by in a flash, but this feeling was lost.
Three days later,
Lin Yi finally returned home to Jiangcheng.
I poured everything out of the space, and the bed was instantly filled with all kinds of sunglasses.
Count the numbers.
I couldn't count them when I collected them. After Lin Yi counted them, there were more than 6,000 pairs in total. Even based on the cost price, the price of these sunglasses was more than 10,000 yuan.
...
The next day Jiang Wu and Li Xiangqian came over.
He was very surprised to see the goods Lin Yi brought back, "Brother Yi, the sunglasses you brought in, how did you transport so many things?"
"I found a friend to open up a relationship on the railway. In the future, we will have a relatively stable transportation route." Lin Yi said.
Jiang Wu extended his thumb.
"Brother Yi is awesome."
"How have the sales of electronic watches been doing over the past ten days since I've been out?" Lin Yi asked.
"Hey Brother Yi, look at this." Li Xiangqian said and went to the east room and took out a bag from the corner.
Open your pocket.
It's full of banknotes.
Ten yuan, five yuan, two yuan, one yuan.
Bundles were tied up with rubber bands.
He took out an account book from it and handed it to Lin Yi: "Brother Yi, the account registration is all here. A total of 196 electronic watches, 28 quartz watches, and 8 mechanical watches were sold, totaling 10,283."
Jiang Wu interjected: "I also sold three tape recorders and two TV sets for a total of 2,634 yuan. The money is all here, and there is no difference."
Lin Yi didn't pay attention to the woven bag placed in the east room yesterday. He didn't expect that there was so much money in it.
He calculated in his mind that there should be more than 300 electronic watches, more than 100 quartz watches, and more than 100 mechanical watches now.
Ask the two of them to sit down.
Lin Yidao: "I plan to wait until the batch of electronic watches in my hand is sold out, and we will stop making electronic watches and concentrate on the Hanzheng Street business. Selling smuggled goods will not last long."
Li nodded forward: "Listen to Brother Yi."
Jiang Wu felt a little pity, "Brother Yi, you are willing to give up the electronic watch for making so much money?"
"Is there any reluctance? I decided to sell electronic watches because we had no capital. Selling electronic watches was considered speculative. If you are caught, you will have to go to jail. Selling sunglasses may not necessarily make less than selling electronic watches. If you do it well, you may even make more.
many."
At this point, Lin Yi muttered in his heart, I'm not setting a flag, don't make any drama that will cause thunder as soon as it's over.
"What about Ma Dan and the others?" Jiang Wu asked.
"It's okay. I have arrangements to prepare tomorrow. The store on Hanzheng Street will officially open the day after tomorrow."
