Zhao Zitong suddenly understood.
It turns out that this is the real reason why the shop has not been sold.
Which businessman would like to get involved with gangsters and loan sharks
In business, harmony is the key to making money.
In such a shop, several debt collectors sleep there every day.
No matter how good the location is, people don’t dare to take it…
"How much does it cost to buy this store?"
Zhao Zitong is not superstitious and is not afraid of these debt collectors.
Why should you be afraid of the debt collectors? They are drinking and having supper with you right now, aren’t they
We are all human beings, not gods or ghosts.
Since we are all human, there is always a way to make it work.
Debt collection is even easier, as long as you have money, it can be solved.
That's why Zhao Zitong likes money.
Because 90% of things in this world can be solved with money.
As for the remaining 10%, even if money cannot solve the problem, it will be much better if you have money...
Take love for example, this cannot be solved with money.
But after the breakup,
Want to break up happily.
I don't want to spend the winter tired of heaviness,
Just fly to a tropical island to swim.
No money,
How to go swimming in the Maldives
That was a double whammy.
I have no money, so I can only drink a cup of coffee to warm my hands...
Li Guoqiang thought she was just asking casually, so he answered casually:
"Including the renovations and everything else, it will cost at least 300,000 yuan."
300,000
This is no small amount.
If Zhao Zitong can continue to be a smuggler.
300,000,
She can earn that in a month.
Zhao Zitong doesn't feel the slightest bit guilty about being a smuggler.
Because the electrical appliance tycoon she knew later became a real estate tycoon.
In the early days, he made his fortune by dealing in electrical products.
Mr. Huang, the boss of a later electrical appliance chain, was a famous "smuggler" in the early days.
He started from scratch, from electrical appliance retail to real estate investment.
Watching the first half of Huang Lao Shi's life, besides the drama,
His ups and downs in the past thirty years also conform to the history of the development of China's early commercial capital.
At the end of 1986, Mr. Huang bought a clothing store in Zhushikou, Beijing.
Later it was changed into an electrical appliance store, which was the electrical appliance store that later became as famous as Suning.
That year, Mr. Huang was only 18 years old, and this electrical appliance store was the foundation of his career.
Before opening this electrical appliance store, Boss Huang had been dealing in imported electrical appliances for many years.
At that time, in order to develop production in China, most of the foreign exchange was used to purchase scarce materials.
This led to stricter approval of imported products in China at that time.
In the 1980s, reform and opening up led to the first rapid growth of China's economy.
On the one hand, the general public hopes to use better products.
On the other hand, there is the reality that domestic production is not possible and imports are not allowed.
At that time, there was a huge gap between the household appliances available in China and those available abroad.
It is completely different from the current situation where stocks are launched simultaneously around the world.
As early as the 1960s, the United States, Japan, and the European Union had color television programs.
In the early 1980s, in China, the only way to buy black and white televisions was at the Friendship Store with coupons.
Not to mention the high price, you can’t even find TV tickets that represent “purchasing qualifications”.
Because of the huge price and quality differences, the "gray industry" of home appliance smuggling has emerged.
In the 2017 Hong Kong Film Awards Best Film - "Trees Catch the Wind",
The leading actor in the film, Ye Guohuan, is Ye Jihan, one of the “three great thieves of Hong Kong” in real life.
He was a thief who robbed a gold shop, but later found that he could make more money by "smuggling".
He immediately quit his criminal business and became a smuggler living in hiding.
This shows how tempting the profits are here.
The smuggling of household appliances lasted from the late 1980s to the early 2000s.
A huge industrial chain has gradually been formed, which is mainly divided into three parts: border transportation, electrical appliance distribution and electrical appliance retail.
The first step of "smuggling" is to transport a large number of electrical appliances from Hong Kong to the coast of Shenzhen Bay.
In the movie "When a Tree Catches the Wind", the speedboat used to transport goods is called "Da Fei" in slang.
Dafei is a speedboat modified by civilians.
Its transformation is very simple and crude, which is to add a lot of high-horsepower engines.
The big plane is incredibly fast and can reach over 90 kilometers per hour when traveling on the sea.
This speed was absolutely impossible for the coast guard ships at that time to catch up.
However, because the modification did not take into account steering and braking issues, flying the big aircraft is very dangerous.
Apart from smugglers, almost no one else uses it.
But the biggest difference between Mr. Huang and others who are both dealing in electrical appliances is:
All electrical appliances are quickly in and out, and he is extremely sensitive to market conditions.
To this end, he set up a special intelligence organization in Panyu.
This organization is mainly distributed in various ports to collect information.
Because there is no normal purchasing process for smuggled electrical appliances, the quantity coming in is random and the price is unstable.
So when there is a backlog of goods, retail prices can easily plummet.
For example, in the early 1990s, the average selling price of Panasonic Panasonic TV on the market was 19,800 yuan.
Boss Huang's intelligence organization learned that a batch of goods was about to land.
After getting the information from Panyu, they responded quickly, lowered the price of the TV to 17,800 and shipped it quickly.
When the next batch of goods arrived, the market price was reduced to 17,800.
Boss Huang continued to lower the price and quickly shipped it out to the market at 15,800.
This fully demonstrates how important it is to collect intelligence when doing business.
As a result, Mr. Huang's goods were always sold out first.
The high turnover rate brought ample cash flow, and Boss Huang began to expand step by step.
Boss Huang's approach has affected the interests of many people in the industry, and he is often reported.
At that time, there were many imported home appliances circulating in the market.
But the approval documents for formal customs declaration are very limited, so some people report it for illegal smuggling.
Boss Huang himself did not deny this, but he claimed that the electrical appliances sold by Gome were "completely legal."
He explained that different local governments have different degrees of control over "smuggling".
Therefore, there are many ways to "legalize" "illegal" smuggled goods.
For example, in some places it is legal to smuggle electrical appliances for a small tax.
There were also two special purchasing stations in Beijing in the early years to recycle and sell electrical appliances brought back by people going abroad.
Even some confiscated electrical appliances may be sold again by the authorities.
These are all legal channels to obtain imported electrical appliances.
To sum it up in one sentence: every policy has its own countermeasure.
Without a flexible mind and extraordinary courage, it is impossible to succeed in starting a business.
Of course, this won’t work in 2021.
But it was the early 1990s. We were attacking the market quickly,
It is the first step towards success for many self-made wealthy people.
Zhao Zitong is smart and courageous, so of course she dares to play this.
But now he is still charged with "suspected gold smuggling".
If you want to go to Shenzhen as a smuggler, there is no way without a home return permit.
