Chapter 351: Sell one unit for five yuan (1/3)
"Should not? Ouyang Xun is not such a person."
Li Hongwei has many sisters in the family, and he can't bear to see girls crying.
"You have seen it all, why not? He just doesn't like me, because I don't study well, they don't like me."
When Qi Yao said this, she was so angry that she wanted to cry again. She was not reconciled. Why should Ouyang Xun treat her badly? She has never done anything sorry for him!
"Ouyang Xun is gone, he can't see if you cry, I'm going back to the store too."
Li Hongwei also persuaded a few words, and was anxious to go back, after all, he still has business to do.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yao followed, "Li Hongwei, let me play in your store for a while."
Li Hongwei wanted to refuse, but couldn't find any excuses, so he reluctantly agreed, but he put the ugly words on the front, "I don't have much to play in the store, I still have to do business."
"I know, I'll just take a look."
After arriving in the store, Li Hongwei hurriedly opened the store, wiped the dust with a rag, adjusted the most popular tapes to a conspicuous position, turned on the recorder, and played the most fashionable songs to attract customers.
Qi Yao could not help complimenting him when he saw how he did it in a light car, and said, "Li Hongwei, I can't think of you as a big man, you are very careful."
"That's for sure, now this is the small shop where I settled down, and I must run it seriously."
Not long after Li Hongwei opened the store, someone came over to buy tapes, and within a short time, he sold several tapes.
Qi Yao looked a little envious, "Li Hongwei, how much can you sell this day? I think your business is pretty good?"
"Just make do, the tape purchase price is cheap, and you can't make much money."
Li Hongwei is telling the truth. No matter how profitable the tape is, it is only a few dollars. Unlike selling a tape recorder, one can make at least a few dozen.
"Li Hongwei, why doesn't anyone buy a tape recorder?"
"A tape recorder is not cheap. How can so many people buy it? Business has been good during the year. Whoever is willing to buy one is more than 100!"
"That's true..."
Qi Yao thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Li Hongwei, it seems we know one, how about I sell the tape recorder for you?"
"Are you selling for me?"
Li Hongwei immediately refused, "I
It would be nice if a small shop could feed me alone, but I can't afford to hire anyone. "
"I don't want you to ask me to be a salesperson. I mean, if I can get a friend to buy a tape recorder from you, you can sell one and give me a commission. What do you think?"
I have to admire that Qi Yao has this mind, and Li Hongwei is also very surprised. If Qi Yao can really help, of course he will.
"Qiyao, if you can really get a friend to sell the tape recorder for me, I will give you a commission of five yuan per unit, what do you think?"
This is also the high price that Li Hongwei can give by gritted his teeth, it is impossible for him to get ten yuan per unit, right? That would be too cruel! Now the wages of workers are only a few dozen yuan a month, and he is very conscientious to be able to offer Qi Yao this price.
five yuan!
Qi Yao originally thought that Li Hongwei could give her two or three yuan at most, but she didn't expect that Li Hongwei could actually give her five yuan!
This was irritating to her, and she couldn’t stay any longer, she just stood up and walked out, “We can say that Li Hongwei, as long as it is a friend I introduced, you will have to give me a commission of five yuan for each one. I Go and find friends now."
When Qi Yao left, Li Hongwei thought she was joking.
Only now is the reform and opening up. Although the living standards of residents have greatly improved from before, they are still not wealthy. Although the tape recorder is not a very expensive thing, it is about the same as a bicycle. It is also a more luxurious consumer product. It will certainly not be more demanding for people like bicycles. It sold well a year ago because The common people all think about the Chinese New Year and only consume one. Now it is just after the Chinese New Year, it is definitely not easy to sell.
Even if Mei Xiaoran didn't say this, Li Hongwei predicted it.
Two years later, Qi Yao actually brought two friends over to sell tape recorders.
Those two friends were young people about the same age as Li Hongwei. They had long hair and were wearing bell-bottom pants. They gave people the feeling of being airy, not like a serious person.
But Li Hongwei didn't dare to make a joke just because of this. After all, the visitors are all customers. As long as people buy his things seriously, he can't stop selling them because they don't dress up properly.
Under Qi Yao’s instigation, the two young men really bought two tape recorders, and Li Hongwei was also tall.
Very interesting, these are the only two tape recorders he has sold since opening a store in the Chinese New Year.
After the two young men left, Li Hongwei gave a commission of ten yuan to Qi Yao.
Qi Yao triumphantly accepted the money, "Li Hongwei, why don't you thank me? If you didn't take care of you, your tape recorder wouldn't sell it!"
"Yes, yes, I thank you so much, of course, I hope you can attract more customers, so that my business is good, and you can earn more commissions."
Up to now, Li Hongwei's favor with Qi Yao is limited to that she is Ouyang Xun's cousin, but she has no other ideas.
"Then you just wait."
Qi Yao took ten dollars and left happily.
Since she dropped out of high school and returned home, even the parents who always loved her couldn't help complaining about her. They thought she was waiting for work at home and couldn't make money. Now she took the money to her parents and let them see. Knowing that I can make money...
This weekend when Ouyang Xun returned to school, Mei Xiaoran came to Li Hongwei's small shop on Sunday morning.
She didn't have time to come and help her brother-in-law during this time when school started, even though it seemed that they were a partnership.
Li Hongwei was also very happy to see her here, "Ran Ran, your brother-in-law bought more than a dozen tape recorders this week, isn't it good?"
"A dozen units a week, that's really good."
Mei Xiaoran also knew that the current business couldn't be compared with that of the year, and she laughed if she could sell two units a week, but Li Hongwei was able to sell more than a dozen units at once, which was really far beyond her expectation!
"Uncle, you are so amazing, how do you sell it, it seems that I have to learn from you when it comes to selling things."
"In fact, it's nothing, friends are taking care of my business all this time."
Li Hongwei simply said it all. He told Mei Xiaoran that his friends had sold these tape recorders for him, and he would give him a commission of five yuan for every one his friends sold.
This kind of commission marketing method is common in later generations, but it is really not done now. Mei Xiaoran is a little surprised, "Uncle, this is the idea you came up with? Are you okay? My brain is pretty smart, and I can think of it. ?"
"This is not what I came up with, it was something someone else came up with."
