Investment Life

On the south China coast in May, there were heavy rains and typhoons. After driving through Shaoguan, heavy rain poured down. The provincial road was not as straight as a highway. It was hit by the rain and it was hard to see the road ahead. Worried about the cargo on the car, Scar did not force Chen Yuanming to continue on the road, but found a place to shelter from the rain. Of course, he didn't notice the pale face of the other person.

Stop and go all the way, originally three or four days to go, they walked for six days at a stretch, only to re-enter the small hotel in the suburbs of Wuhan until mid-May, the scar settled and hurriedly anxious Going to pick up the goods, leaving Chen Yuanming alone at the hotel.

It's been more than half a month since I last visited the small hotel, so when I saw Chen Yuanming again, the surprise on the boss's face was undisguised. That afternoon, the dining table was propped up in the living room, but this time there was no steam. Meals, but a bunch of brand new electronic watches with waterproof membranes, neatly coded on the table.

"That's ... pretty good ..."

Su Xiao looked at the table full of tables, and the sound was a bit stuttering. The electronic watch Chen Yuanming brought back this time was very outstanding, and it was a little more refined than her husband's, especially those cartoon-shaped, with bright colors. The smooth shape is extremely attractive. It was just ... She suddenly remembered what her husband said last time, and her face was a little pale. The young man had a good vision, but at what price would he ship it? Really only give 5 yuan profit?

Wang Haitao didn't move, he took them one by one, carefully checked them, adjusted the time, checked the seams of the strap and the buckle, and checked whether the display was flat. It took a whole half hour to look at the things on the table. all over. Putting down the last watch in his hand, he pushed his glasses and smiled at the teenager in front of him.

"Yuanming is very good at picking things up. The watches are all good. How about the price?"

Chen Yuanming smiled, looking a bit debilitated, but his expression was very relaxed. "According to the price you said, the watch over Zhuhai is quite cheap, so you can see how this works. An ordinary electronic watch without decoration is 10 yuan One, cartoon 17 yuan, waterproof watch is too expensive to dare to enter, a 30 yuan for you. "

Su Xiao showed a look of surprise, and immediately turned to look at her husband, and was swept back by the other person's gaze. Wang Haitao gently patted the table twice, revealing a real smile, "Okay, I have eaten all of this batch. It seems that this line of profit is still ..."

Chen Yuanming also smiled. "This is not the beginning. You sell it first, brother Wang. I'll buy more goods when I get rich next time."

For this answer, the couple did not have any objections, and laughed together. He took out a stack of banknotes and put away the electronic watch on the table. Su Xiao stubbed Chen Yuanming and ate a light meal at home. After the meal, he was really in a bad mood, so he had no choice but to leave. Chen Yuanming didn't go anywhere this time, went directly upstairs and locked himself in the guest room. It was raining again outside the window, and he was lying on the bed sternly, helpless inside.

With the first start-up fund, the business made a net profit of 980 yuan, which almost reached a profit of 100%. Together with the principal, he can continue to expand the purchase volume and pave the way for further development. However, that memory gave him opportunities and possibilities, but also never tortured him.

The bed underneath was still so hard, Chen Yuanming closed his eyes and listened to the rustling rain outside the window.

At noon the next day, it was fine. Chen Yuanming was waiting boredly for the scar to come back, and the door was knocked open again.

I saw Su Xiao apologize and smiled at him, "Aming, I have discussed with your brother, or you do n’t want to buy ordinary watches next time you buy, there are too many on the street, it ’s not very good Sell. Or cartoon watches are more trendy, it is best to buy more waterproof watches. Your brother knows all the big leaders in the factory. This kind of high-end watches sell better and earn more money than ... "

There is a long list of short stories, and there is only one central idea. Where does Chen Yuanming not understand. According to his observations, the price of electronic watches in Wuhan is still relatively transparent, and Wang Haitao's last reported price did not include major errors. However, his sales channel is a related household within the state-owned enterprise, and it must be cheaper than that sold in the mall. The profit margin of the most ordinary watches is too low. It is good to only earn 1,2. Cartoon watches can earn at least 4-5 yuan. Waterproof watches have better profit margins because of their good looks.

At the same time, his sales are not subject to the constraints of capital. He may even have greeted customers in advance. The electronic watch will be transferred to the account. How can he care about the profit margin of the family? He was dazzled by high profits, and only entered the waterproof watch that was best for him.

However, none of these thoughts appeared on his face, and Chen Yuanming smiled with approval. "Yeah, I just want to have more money to get a better watch."

Smiling and sending away the more enthusiastic boss, Chen Yuanming chuckled softly. Now the initiative is not in his hands, but he will be back soon ...

After the rainy season, Chen Yuanming came to the outskirts of Wuhan for the third time at the end of May. This time, the 2,000 yuan principal brought more watches. The Wang Haitao and his wife did not choose to continue to entertain him at home, but instead invited him to go to the city to eat the old Wuhan brand.

Laochengtong ’s Sanxian Soybean Skin, Tan Yanji ’s Dumplings, Fuqinghe ’s Beef Rice Noodles ... This is the beginning of the 1990s, and the time-honored brand has n’t deteriorated due to market economic squeeze. The ingredients are genuine and genuine. The fillings are delicious, and the soup is boiled for a few days. It is delicious and can make people swallow their tongues. There was a crowd in the crowded storefront. The taste of the food was more wonderful than the memory. The three of them ate and drank until they got dark before returning to the hotel.

After making a pot of tea, the smile on Wang Haitao's face never faded. Chen Yuanming touched his slightly swollen belly and grinned at him.

"Wang brother, if you want to say something, just tell me directly, we don't use these for nothing."

Wang Haitao smiled softly, "Look at what you said, why can't you come to Wuhan to taste the old-fashioned brand? We just enter the friendship of landlords. As for the future business ..."

After groaning for a while, he still decided to say, "Brother, it's not a secret. Our electronic watch business is not going to last long. Now that the season of popular electronic watches is over, it's just a little bit profitable. It ’s a day when there are so many customers on my side, is n’t it? So I want to do some really profitable business. I have inquired about it in the mall. Recently, quartz watches have become popular. They look high-end and look stylish. Children's gadgets like electronic watches. Several leaders I know are thinking about consuming quartz watches, like Shuangshi, Citizen ... "

"Oh, Japanese watches?" Chen Yuanming smiled casually. "What models do you want? There are a lot of these two models, as well as Casio, Tissot, Longines ... there are many famous watches in the world."

Sudden by this remark, Wang Haitao also unavoidably stopped awkwardly, he was a little bit wrong about the other party. I wanted to lead him to another more favorable direction. Who knows that the other party is more proficient than him, and may even have explored the number of quartz watches. If he doesn't say this, the boy will find a chance to drag him into the water. ?

But it was only a moment when Wang Haitao's expression returned to normal, and the standard instructor smiled again. "Look at what you said, we are not rich people, Japanese watches are enough, too expensive to afford. I have two models here, one with date on the dial and one with no date and the same model. The watch mall is out of stock. I really don't know what model they are talking about. You see ... "

In the face of a man who was suddenly polite, Chen Yuanming's expression did not change. He just played the list. "Wang, you know the market of quartz watches now. The ordinary model of Shuangshi is at least 1500 yuan. , Citizen is more expensive, 2,000 are often. And these watches can not be imitated. If you want high profits, you must take smuggled goods from Hong Kong. The risk is high, and the principal is also high. Look at my small body ... "

After understanding the other party ’s subtext, Wang Haitao smiled brightly, "I really want to do this business. Why wouldn't my brother let you carry the risk? I think smuggled goods must be cheaper than those sold on the market. Otherwise, I will pay half the original price I'll pay you the deposit when the goods arrive. Can you make it? "

"Well ..." Chen Yuanming thought about it, "The investment is still quite large, but it's a good idea to try, but my main business is still running long distances, and it depends on the schedule of my cousin, and this time the smuggled goods are all If you want to communicate with your boss now, you may not be able to get the goods immediately. So big a deposit, aren't you afraid that I will run away? "

"Haha, I'm really not afraid of this." He laughed twice and patted the other person's shoulder. "The deposit is just a small amount of money. How can you compare the profit after the pavement? Brother, you are so smart, don't Greetings brother. "

Chen Yuanming also laughed, "It's better to be respectful then."

Because it was the first attempt, the next day Wang Haitao only gave Chen Yuanming a deposit of more than 4,000 yuan, at a price of 700 yuan each, a total of six. 4 men's watches, 2 ladies' watches. Holding the double-drum bag, Chen Yuanming leaned comfortably on the driver's seat.

How could he not be prepared. He had inquired with the owner of the watch store before the second purchase, and now the price of a smuggled watch is between 650-730. With these deposits, he does not even need any principal, and a watch is net. Earn 2,300 yuan. More importantly, high-end watches will only be the beginning.

This was the beginning of the 1990's, when China had just opened its country and faced the world again. The gap between the rich and the poor is beginning to widen, and vanity and show-off are desperately in need of money to affirm. Maybe many people ca n’t afford a car or afford tens of thousands of luxury goods, but thousands of watches and cameras are not a problem. Will you let go of this symbol of status? In addition, this small item has always been a good prop for bribery and bribery, and it is even in short supply in some classes.

And this kind of purchase channel is not easily accessible to a mainland city. It not only means identity, but it will gradually become an indispensable part of the relationship network. For people like Wang Haitao, it is estimated that it is highly desirable. Now that there is a deposit and a strong demand, the rest is to open the wallet and wait for the money.

"Yo, Aming, it looks good!" The scar on the side saw Chen Yuanming's rare smile and joked, "I've run into a beautiful girl? The Hubei girl is fierce, you can be careful ~"

"Brother Qiang, where did you say that the girl is not as beautiful as Tianqing, just fine all the way." Chen Yuanming hit the steering wheel and answered with a smile.

"That is, Tianqing is the best!"

A few days later, a postal money order left the Zhuhai Post Office and floated inland.

At this time, it was only one and a half months before Chen Yuanming left his hometown.
