My rebirth is different

Chapter 680 Start Pre-sale

Who knows, my mother who is usually very shrewd is not tempted, she just said: "Isn't it more than 1000 cheaper? If spending more money can make you spend more time studying in your freshman year, it's worth it! Don't worry, After your sophomore year, mom will buy you a good one, we won’t buy those cheap ones!”

The dad next to him also interjected: "That's right, you're just worthless, and you're always fussing over such a small gain. Look at Yu Wenfei, he's the same age as you, and now he's the richest man in the country! Take a long-term view and have a bigger picture! "

Xiao Gao curled his lips slightly, thinking to himself, what do I think Yu Wenfei is doing, of course there is no one among his peers who can match him.But why don’t you take a look at yourself, brag all day about how good you are in business, but after ten years of business, the money you earn can’t compare to what Yu Wenfei earns in a year.

Of course, he didn't dare to say these words, otherwise let alone buying a computer, even the cost of living would probably drop by a notch!
I was anxious about how to persuade my parents to pay, and I heard my father say: "I was a little touched after reading the letter written by Yu Wenfei on Facebook. Indeed, it is also playing computer, and Bill Gates plays it." Became the richest man in the world! Yu Wenfei wrote three best-selling books with a computer, and now he is the richest man in the country. Of course, there are also many big bosses who start Internet companies who make money through computers. Your kid still majored in computer science Yes, have you thought about starting a business and starting an Internet company in the future?"

Xiao Gao's eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "You don't buy me a computer, and I don't have the opportunity to study it every day. Maybe I am also a computer genius, but you killed me in the end!"

The mother snorted and said, "Don't your dad and I know you? Your kid has poor self-control ability since he was a child. Are you still a computer genius? A genius will not even be admitted to a key university. You, don't become a waste in the future." I’m so thankful for it!”

These words hurt my self-esteem a bit. Although Zhongyuan University is not a key university, it is still an undergraduate course!
Xiao Gao was forced to be anxious, but he was quick to think. His eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "Dad was right. I really have an idea. I can make money through computers!"

Both parents are businessmen, so they are naturally more interested in the topic of making money. My father asked dubiously: "Make money through computers? Don't fool me, kid. Tell me, how do you make money?"

Xiao Gao smiled calmly, and said confidently: "The fruit wholesale market is not far away from the Computer City. Mom and Dad, you pass by there every day, and you should know how good the business in the Computer City is."

This is true, not far from the fruit wholesale market where my parents are, there is the largest computer city in the provincial capital, a five-story building, which sells electronic products, and the business is very good.

My parents have said several times with jealousy that when the computer city first opened, they had the opportunity to buy two shops, but because they didn't know that business, they didn't buy it. Now the prices of the shops have doubled several times.

"What's wrong with the computer city? Don't you want to rent a shop to practice stalls, kid?" Mom asked in surprise.

"How is that possible? I haven't finished college yet. However, this time, if the Huimin computer developed by Lenovo Group is operated well, it can make a lot of money!" Xiao said happily.

"Huimin Computer? How can we make money through this? The computer is not produced by our family. What's more, don't the newspapers say that Huimin Computer loses more than 1000 yuan when it sells one?" Dad said puzzled.

"That's right! Why does Lenovo lose money selling Huimin computers? It's because the price of this computer is much cheaper than the market price! Mom and Dad, think about it, a computer that sells for 2699 yuan on the market, I bought it with an education discount of 600, and then resold it for an additional [-] yuan, will it sell well? Did I make money!" Xiao Gao said with bright eyes.

Mom and Dad looked at each other, wondering for a while whether what the son said was right or wrong.

After hesitating for a while, Dad asked, "The question is...why do other people buy computers with a price increase from you? Isn't everyone on Taobao able to buy them?"

Xiao Gao said confidently: "Not everyone can buy it! First of all, in the first month, Lenovo only allows college students to buy it, which means that other people can't buy it at all.

Secondly, after these computers were put on the market, the response was so great that basically all those who were going to buy computers would not buy computers of other brands, and everyone was waiting for Huimin computers.However, Lenovo Group has announced that due to the limited production, the products can only be launched in batches. During this process, there will inevitably be many, many people who want to buy but cannot.

If you spend five or six hundred more, you can get the computer two months or even longer in advance, would you like it? "

As he spoke, Xiao Gao looked at his parents.

"I should be willing." Dad said thoughtfully.

"I don't want to, I will continue to wait." My mother disagreed.

Xiao Gao smiled and said: "Look, at least 50.00% of people will accept the price increase to buy computers in advance. In fact, although I said an increase of five or six hundred, for ordinary people, it is equivalent to an increase of only two or three hundred, because education Discounts are not available to them, and all I buy are educational discounts!"

Mom and Dad thought it was the same thing. If you can buy your favorite computer a few months in advance for only two or three hundred more, then most people will probably accept it. After all, computers are also big-ticket items.What's more, even if the price is increased, it is still much cheaper than other computers with the same configuration on the market.

But Dad thought of another question, and he asked: "No, even if you bought a discounted computer for education, isn't it true that a student can only buy one? Even if you sell your computer, you can earn hundreds of dollars. It’s just a block, is it worth the fuss?”

Of course, this education discount is limited, and it is impossible for a student to buy many computers.Lenovo has clearly stipulated that the same student can purchase at most one educational discount computer per school year.

Xiao Gao smiled ghostly and said: "Dad, you are still in business, don't you understand this? Although I can only buy one, what about the other students! There are so many students in our school, there are always many people who buy it. Those who can’t afford it or have already bought a computer. I will find some students like this and borrow their qualifications. At most, just give them 100 yuan.”

Mom and Dad suddenly realized, and after thinking about it carefully, this is really a good way!
In fact, isn’t this the same thing as a scalper who resells train tickets for the Spring Festival travel rush!
Buy goods that are in short supply at a fair price, and then sell them at a higher price. The middleman earns the difference and makes money easily.

This issue……

It's really worth doing!

Think about it, a computer is not too much, just earn 500 yuan after all costs are deducted.

If one hundred units were thrown away, that would be a profit of [-]!

What if two hundred or more...

Now that there are low-priced and short-selling products, you have to consider the issue of sales. My mother asked: "When you buy the computer, how do you solve the problem of sales? No one in our family is in this business, so I don't know who to sell to?" .”

Regarding this issue, Xiao Gao's father has his own ideas. He frowned and said, "If there are fewer computers, the problem can be solved. Our relatives and friends, as well as the bosses in the wholesale market, ask who If you want to buy a computer, you can basically deal with a lot. If you have a lot of trouble... you can go to the computer city and ask the bosses who sell computers to see if they will accept it. It is also worthwhile to shop for computers exclusively!"

At this point, the three of them have basically reached an agreement that this business can be done!
Dad made a decisive decision and said simply: "You can try this. I will give you 5 yuan to buy a batch of computers first. After buying them, we will see how the sales are. If the computers are really easy to sell, we will increase the capital at that time. Work hard, you kid, I didn't expect you to be quite flexible. If this business is done well, it will be much better than you graduating from college and going to work in the future, haha."

Xiao Gao began to gear up, took the 5 yuan sponsored by his father, and planned to go to the school to inquire first, to see which students were not going to buy a computer, and then borrow their student ID cards.When the Lenovo Huimin computers on Taobao officially go on sale, they will start snapping them up immediately.

…………

The new Lenovo Huimin computers are naturally not produced so quickly. From bulk purchases to production and assembly off the assembly line, and then to transportation to Lenovo stores in various places, it is expected that the first batch of computers will not be officially launched until mid-December.

However, this does not affect the early start of pre-sale.

According to Yu Wenfei's suggestion, the sale of Huimin Computer adopts the pre-sale method this time. Consumers need to pay to place an order first, and then wait for the computer to go offline in the order of ordering.

On December [-]th, the official website of New Lenovo Group, Facebook, Taobao, and Facebook Mutual Gold all issued announcements.

"On December 12th, at ten o'clock in the morning, Huimin Computer's first batch of educational discounts will be officially launched for pre-sale. Please go to Lenovo's flagship store on Taobao to place an order and rush to buy. The quantity is limited, first-come-first-served!"

The number of the first batch of discounted computers for education is indeed limited, a total of 120 million units. In fact, in the first half of the year, the monthly shipments are about 100 million to 120 million.After half a year, the output will increase accordingly, and the output is expected to increase to between 150 million and 200 million.

However, the cost is much higher in the first year, so in terms of the overall production and sales volume, there will be no unlimited supply.

Moreover, putting too many low-priced products into the market at one time has a great impact on the entire industry. Although Yu Wenfei doesn't care about the life and death of other brand machine manufacturers, he still leaves a way for others to survive more or less. Time for transformation.

After the announcement was issued, it immediately spread to all universities in the country. I don't know how many college students have already prepared money and are waiting for the launch of educational discount computers.
