Chapter 329 Li Hongwei is going to do business (1/3)
Li Mingyun moved quickly, and the shop window of the department store said it was taken down.
In fact, she had discussed this with her daughter a long time ago. Just after Li Hongwei was shaved off as a soldier, Mei Xiaoran suggested to her mother that her mother could help Li Hongwei rent a window to sell small electrical appliances, so that Li Hongwei would not be too bad. Do nothing. Besides, during the summer vacation, Mei Xiaoran also took Li Hongwei to the south. Li Hongwei, who bought something, also knew the way, so there was no need to specifically lead him on the road.
Li Hongwei heard that he could not be a soldier, of course, it was a bit regretful, but he can't be a soldier now, so he can't stay at home. Anyway, he is almost 20 years old, and he is not happy to eat leisurely at home!
Fortunately, the eldest sister helped him rent a window and let him operate audio-visual equipment, which was quite right for him.
The last time he sold the tape recorder, he himself kept one. With a tape recorder, it must have a tape... At that time tape was also a rare thing. The most he could find were red songs. He wanted to find one of the most popular Teresa Teng’s. Singing, tapes are hard to find! If he had his own store, he would play whatever songs he wanted to listen to, and he would be comfortable and earn money. Think about what a beautiful thing!
Of course, after the window was rented, Li Hongwei personally installed the storefront. There was no decoration at that time... But after all, Li Hongwei was a student from the beauty of craftsmanship, and I was still unique in aesthetics.
He found cheap plasterboard and made it into a counter. He also painted it in a colorful color with paint. He also used leather with metal patterns to decorate it. In Mei Xiaoran’s view, it was a combination of earth and foreign, but Kangping County in 1982 was incredibly fashionable!
After finishing the decoration, Mei Xiaoran came to Li Hongwei.
"Uncle, what do you want to sell?"
"Isn't it the phonograph, record, tape recorder, tape, etc. that your mother said... Otherwise, what else can there be?"
"Uncle, what I mean is that you mainly use a tape recorder. Do you want a phonograph?"
It’s not unreasonable for Mei Xiaoran to say that. Of course, it’s still an era when vinyl records are very popular. More people listen to songs with phonographs than with recorders, but phonographs are not portable with recorders. In the future development, Gradually declined, but the tape recorder has occupied the mainstream position in the market for a long time.
It was later replaced by MP3.
"Ran Ran, you said that I have considered these. Records are easy to wear. Relatively speaking, tapes are better. At least it is convenient to listen to songs with the small portable tape recorder we left last time."
"In fact, uncle, have you ever thought about selling only this kind of portable tape recorder?"
"Just sell a small tape recorder?"
This is somewhat different from Li Hongwei's original idea, his original intention was to sell these things.
"Uncle, you don’t want to think about it. You will only be in business for one year, and you will be a soldier next year. You will only sell this kind of portable tape recorder. Don’t look at the single one you sell, but I think someone will sell it. … Let’s just talk about the windows of the department store you rent now. They all add up to only four or five square meters. You sell too many and too many things to fit."
"That's true... But I'm afraid that the selling is too single and there will be no business coming!"
This is what Li Hongwei is most worried about. Well, he is afraid of letting down everyone's expectations. After all, the whole family hopes that he can be successful, even if he is a small business, he hopes that he will be successful.
"You don’t have to worry about my uncle. Look, the department store is at the intersection of Zhongshan Street and Chayuanxia Street. A hundred meters to the west is six high, and a hundred meters to the north is a small area. To the south, it’s away from the cinema and The second junior high school is not far away, and to the east is the second elementary and third junior high schools... The location here is so good, and there are schools nearby. What are you worried about?"
"You mean to let me specialize in student business?"
"It's almost like that. I guess the kind of small tape recorder you sell is most interested in the students."
"Well, just listen to you, I'll go into that kind of small tape recorder."
Speaking of this, Li Hongwei is a bit pity. I had known that he would not sell the tape recorder he bought last time. If it were retailed in his own store, he would definitely make more money.
"Uncle, you can't think so. If we didn't sell the recorders at that time, we don't have so much money now?"
Mei Xiaoran explained, "Now the purchase price of a small tape recorder is around 80, let alone anything else, the money in your hand is enough for you to purchase 30 units."
Li Hongwei thinks so too. Otherwise, wherever he got the purchase money, he would say that the shop is rented by the eldest sister, and the rent is also
Don't ask him if he wants it, and he can't tie everything to the eldest sister, right? The eldest sister is so busy every day, her own business is too busy, and she has to worry about his small business.
"Ran Ran, I thought for a moment. Even if it is sold in this single tape recorder, there are several grades. The domestic ones are the same as the imported ones? Besides, I have to buy tapes!"
"So you don't have enough funds, uncle, that's okay, I'm here to help you."
Mei Xiaoran gave the two thousand yuan he brought to Li Hongwei, which was regarded as a shareholding. "Uncle, this money is considered to be my shareholding. The two of us invested two thousand yuan each, which is regarded as the principal. Wait until next year when you don’t do it. Hou, I will take away the principal again. Normally, I definitely don’t have time to look after the store for you, and I can’t ask for too much profit, even if it’s two to eight? I’m two to eight, what do you think?”
Li Hongwei was overjoyed at the sight, "Ran Ran, you are really my good Ran Ran, my uncle won't worry about capital now."
"But my brother, I suggest that you don’t have to travel that far. You can go to Shenzhen for the first batch of goods, but if it’s for convenience, you might as well go to Fuyuan Town. The purchase price from there is definitely a bit more expensive than Shenzhen. But you have saved travel expenses and time, and once you enter, it's actually not much worse."
"Then I will listen to you, tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to Fuyuan Town to see what we buy!"
With the capital in his hands, Li Hongwei had confidence. When the next day happened to be Sunday, he went to Fuyuan Town to buy goods with Mei Xiaoran.
Of course, the goods in Fuyuan Town are not a first-hand source, and the prices are stacked one after another.
Just like the kind of tape recorders they sold before, the purchase price of each is one hundred and one. Li Hongwei's distressed liver hurts when he listens to the price. He sells eighty and it is not good, no wonder the store owner is so happy to receive it!
"Ran Ran, I really can't stand such an expensive price. I must go to Shenzhen! Anyway, the store hasn't opened yet. I can't spend 100 yuan for all the travel expenses. In case I can find Yuan Liang from him With the goods in my hand, won't I make more money?"
Mei Xiaoran wanted to persuade him not to think so big, but after another thought, my uncle is also doing business for the first time. It may not be bad for him to encourage him to break through, but even if my uncle goes out, he can’t. I went to Yuan Liang to get the goods, and Yuan Liang's path was not right after all!
