National Tide 1980.

Chapter 353
"...The situation in the capital is probably like this. Is there a shortage of imported home appliances with original packaging? Yes, but there is no shortage. How to say it. It is a shortage for those who have no quota for going abroad and foreign exchange certificates. On the other hand, there is no shortage. However, there is also a way to meet the shortage, which is to increase the price and find someone to buy it.”

"For example, behind the Wangfujing Department Store, there is a seller of national indicators, and there is also a seller of foreign exchange near the Friendship Store. You can exchange them with RMB. Then take the indicators and foreign exchange certificates and go to the national store to buy them."

"But there is one thing. If you go by yourself, you must be careful. There are many scammers among the people who do these things. Many of the indicators sold are forged, and those who exchange foreign exchange certificates will use special methods to give you less money. Some of them were even robbed outright.”

"The most terrible thing is that even if you suffer a loss, I'm afraid you won't be able to find justice. Because you have made a mistake in doing so. Reporting to the official will not be good for yourself."

"The most unlucky thing is that when you are exchanging money, you happen to catch up with plainclothes beside you. If that happens, let alone a huge loss in money, I'm afraid even you will have to go to the police station to stay for a few days..."

Ning Weimin's words were clear and slow, as if he was talking about the principles of life.

He almost gave a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the situation of imported color TVs in the capital.

But the inside and outside of the words are undoubtedly the risk.

Having said that, he even paused on purpose.

To give the two people from Sichuan and Sichuan some time to think, and to increase the pressure.

"It's not that I deliberately poured cold water on you two to scare you. It is indeed easy to have problems when buying a color TV. You really have to be cautious."

"After all, people nowadays are going crazy for importing color TVs. Even in the capital, this aspect is also very chaotic! All ghosts and snakes are jumping out!"

"The two of you came from such a far place, and you are not familiar with the place here. Besides, buying imported original color TVs is for the factory's major business. It is better to focus on safety and pay more attention to safety."

Having said that, the two people from Sichuan and Shu nodded their heads and said, "Right, right..."

So far, it can be said that Ning Weimin's task has been successfully completed, and he passed the ball to Zhang Shihui very cleverly.

Zhang Shihui deserved to be an old partner with Ning Weimin who cooperated tacitly. He took the opportunity to pat Director Wei on the shoulder, and opened the prelude to the next step with a cordial tone.

"Old Wei, do you understand what's going on? Now, shouldn't it be time for us to talk? I won't say anything if it's useless. The guarantee I can give you is that my goods are the safest and most reliable. .In terms of quality, I am completely responsible for the end. There is an invoice, so if it is really broken, I will replace it. But there is one thing, and it is a three-point profit. Let us understand this truth? Help you so much. , you have to let me earn some..."

Director Wei nodded rather honestly. "Yes, yes..."

"Okay, then you can take a good look at it. This is the list of goods I made, including models, brands, and prices. Please tick whichever you want and write down the quantity."

Everything was going well at first, but the beautiful atmosphere had a problem at this step.

Dare to love Zhang Shihui's quotation, Director Wei took it over and only glanced at it, and couldn't help showing a stabbed expression.

Section Chief Liu took it over and looked at it, and it was the same, his smile suddenly turned into a wry smile.

Just like when they sat down and tasted the legendary coffee for the first time, they almost didn't spit it out.

"What's the matter? Too expensive? Didn't we just agree..."

Zhang Shihui deliberately made an unbelievable expression.

"Xiao Zhang, it's not that I won't let you make money. But if you give me this price, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to the factory. You've doubled the normal price..."

It was also the first time that Factory Manager Wei turned his head, and actually let out a big sigh.

But Zhang Shihui had his reasons, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, on the contrary she seemed extremely innocent.

"Normal price? Hey, old Wei, we can't talk nonsense in front of sensible people. A store is a store, and the market price is the market price. Is the price in the store reasonable? Is it for us to see? It's an illusion."

"What is the truth? The truth is that these things are not only known to be good in your hometown, but also in the capital. Even the whole country has two words-shortage."

"Now that our country is short of foreign exchange, we can't get many such things. As the saying goes, what is rare is the most expensive thing. There are only so many good things. If there are more people who want them, the price will naturally go up."

"Aside from other things, I sell you cigarettes and alcohol, which is twice as expensive as the store. Why don't you think it's expensive? You can't bear it when it's on TV? This is not like your usual happy style. To be honest, compared to tobacco and alcohol , I really don't want much from you..."

Factory Manager Wei showed a face of difficulties.

"Thirty cigarettes and alcohol are small things after all. Thirty cigarettes and thirty bottles of wine all add up to only 2000 yuan. What's more, our price is almost the same. The factory can understand it. But the color TV It’s different, we need at least four sets, and at your price, we’ll spend 1 yuan more than the store…”

At this time, Section Chief Liu couldn't help but agree.

"That's right. Why don't you give us a price that the factory can accept."

But Zhang Shihui still shook his head unwaveringly and resolutely defended his price.

"What is an acceptable price? If you can accept the price of smuggled goods, I can find them for you too. But the outer packaging is all imitated from Hong Kong City, and the stuff inside is inferior. Even the experts from Dongyang looked at it." My son will be green. Do you dare to take it? When you two go back to the factory, don’t say that your factory will treat me as a liar, just say you, can the factory let you two pass the test?”

"This is still a trivial matter. The problem is that your factory does not want this color TV to watch, but to use it as a prototype for research and analysis. If I want to make such a bad thing for you, it will hinder our country's four The realization of this modernization, to put it mildly, will drag down the back legs of tens of thousands of people in your factory. That's too unconscionable."

"So, Lao Wei, Lao Liu, no matter how we look at it, we can't do this. In business, we have to treat people with integrity. Right? What did the great leader say? Serving the people is the only way to do this." It is the quality of businessmen under our socialist system."

"You have to think about it this way. It's not a problem that the genuine ones are more expensive. I'll give you [-] guarantee tickets, and all the ones I get are the original 'No Top' (made in Japan) Goods, it's the seal that the little devil personally put on you."

"To put it bluntly, you have to have a good nose. After you unseal it, lie on the machine and smell it carefully. You might be able to smell the perfume of that Japanese female worker..."

Well, Ning Weimin just wanted to listen to these slanderous and exaggerated nonsense.

He quickly lit a cigarette with a lighter to cover it up.

While the two people from Sichuan and Shu were dizzy and tried to adjust their thinking that they had been brought into the narrow path.

He didn't notice at all that Ning Weimin had smoked himself before handing them the cigarettes, which was already a bit rude.

"Oh, Comrade Xiao Zhang, of course we believe in the quality of the goods you provide, but for the price, there must be a negotiation and a quantity. Do you want to do the math again and earn a little less..."
