Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 590 Greeting the God of Wealth, Sending off the Poor Ghost

Facing Brewer Markham's malicious smile, Christabel Hess resolutely stopped his unhealthy thoughts: "No."

Brewer Markham looked a little disappointed, but he quickly returned to normal and asked, "Do you want to go to the movies tonight? "Mission: Impossible 2?"

Christabel Hess rejected the proposal of Director Two Markham without hesitation, then threw the bills in his face and said with some anger: "No, look at these bills, our life You are already stretched, and you still want to watch a movie? Have you ever thought that our baby will be born in nine months, and I still have to save money for milk powder, diapers, and tuition..."

In the United States, if you want to receive higher education, you need to pay high costs.It is not a small expense for many middle-class families, let alone for ordinary families.

Many families, in order to support their children in college, have to open special accounts and deposit money in them when their children are still young.

However, Brewer Markham obviously didn't think so far. Facing his wife's reprimand, he quickly changed the subject and said: "Christmas is coming soon, what gift do you want? By the way, we The TV set at home is very old, how about we buy a TV set? Don’t you like watching TV series very much?”

The TV set at home was bought from a flea market when they first got married. At that time, because they hadn't found a job yet, they were short of cash.

Now the income is gradually stabilizing, and before Christmas, the company will give a bonus.That's why Brewer Markham thought about improving life at home and making his wife happy.

However, how could Christabel Hess, who couldn't even bear to watch a movie, agree to Brewer Markham's proposal?
Seeing that Brewer Markham was so heartless and didn't think about the problem at all, Christabel Hess became even more annoyed, and said, "Buy a TV? Do you know that the cheapest TV on the market is A thousand dollars for a computer? How can we have so much money?"

Brewer Markham knew that his wife was still worrying about the baby's education.

He also understands the reason. In the United States, it is very difficult for people who have not received higher education to stand out, especially for ordinary families like them.

Because Brewer Markham did not go to college, the jobs he can find now are only some low-skilled jobs, and his income will never increase.

Three consecutive proposals were rejected by his wife, and Brewer Markham suddenly became like a deflated ball, and his whole person became decadent.

Poor and lowly couples mourn for everything, which is probably the situation he is facing now.

It's not life at all, it's just a struggle to survive.

Early the next morning Brewer Markham took two slices of brown bread from the cupboard and went out to work.

He works in a decoration company. Apart from moving and lifting, his daily work is to paint for others.

After two hours of work, he was already hungry and dirty.But he had to be patient first, because the company would provide a relatively cheap lunch at twelve o'clock.

Having just finished installing a panel, Brewer Markham, sweating profusely, sat on a pile of building materials to catch his breath.

A worker named Jacob Bedford came over and said mysteriously: "Brewer, I have some good news for you. A batch of new goods just arrived from Mexico. Would you like to share with me?" to see?"

Brewer Markham thought that the worker was talking about the contraband that made people happy, so he refused without hesitation: "I promised my wife that I would never touch those things. Don't hurt me .”

Jacob Bedford said with a look of disgust: "Do you think we are like people who can afford that kind of thing? I can't afford it. I mean, I just got the news, I just came from Mexico A batch of TV sets have flowed in over there, and I heard that the quality is good and the price is very cheap. Didn’t you say that Christmas is coming soon, and you want to surprise Christabel Hess?”

Brewer Markham was a little shocked: "Mexico still produces TV sets? I thought they would only sell local products."

Jacob Bedford spread his hands and said, "I don't know. Anyway, if it's true, I'm going to buy one. I heard that the price is only half or even a third of the TV set here."

"Brand new?"

"Of course!"

Brewer Markham was very excited to be able to buy a TV for half the price.After all, there is no better entertainment than watching TV in this age.If you can buy a new TV for Christmas at a low price, it must be a good deal.

Brewer Markham asked, "Where can I buy it?"

"You come with me."

Jacob Bedford took Brewer Markham to a flea market not far from the company.

Looking at the cars flying around on the dirt road in front of him, the dust was flying, and the iron door of the warehouse was still stained with rust, Brewer Markham had some ominous premonition in his heart.He asked Jacob Belfort, "Are you sure this is the place? Are you sure it's a brand new TV?"

Jacob Bedford said: "Of course, I guarantee it!"

Then, when he came to the warehouse door, a man with an AK and a beret flashed out of the warehouse, blocking their way.

"stop!"

The more Brewer Markham looked at it, the less it looked like a place that sold serious things.

Jacob Bedford also felt a little muttered, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "I heard that there are cheap TVs for sale here, are there any more?"

The man poked the two kraft boxes on the ground with the AK in his hand, and said, "These are the only ones left. Give me a thousand dollars, and they will be yours."

Brewer Markham asked hesitantly, "One thousand dollars for two? The price is so cheap, so there won't be any quality problems?"

The other party obviously didn't understand what "service with a smile" was. Faced with Brewer Markham's questioning, he said impatiently directly: "If you have a problem, you can take it back to me and return it for free, so you can't buy it. Buy? Don’t buy and get out.”

With this "promise" of free returns, Jacob Bedford told Brewer Markham, "Look, I told you it's okay."

Brewer Markham asked, "Can I take it apart?"

The man resolutely refused: "No."

At this moment, another person came over on a motorcycle and asked, "Is there still a TV?"

"Only these two, five hundred dollars each."

"Give me one."

Seeing that the TV set was about to be taken away, Jacob Bedford became anxious immediately, and hurriedly took out the money and said, "You are late, we have already bought these two TV sets."

Brewer Markham also realized that the situation was serious, and if he didn't pay for the TV set, it might be gone, so he immediately took out five hundred dollars and said, "Yes, these two TV sets have already been bought by the two of us. "

Seeing the two pay the money and take the TV away, the motorcyclist looked annoyed and whispered, "I knew I should drive faster."

He asked the people in the warehouse, "When will the next shipment arrive?"

The man said blankly: "I don't know, I will have it when I come."

Is not this nonsensical?

Of course there is.

The motorcyclist groaned, then seemed to remember something, got on the motorcycle and twisted the accelerator, made a beautiful tail flick and turned around, kicking up a cloud of dust.He caught up with Brewer Markham and Jacob Bedford, took out a stack of banknotes, and said loudly, "I'll offer six hundred dollars. Which of you will sell me the TV?"

Brewer Markham was about to agree to earn a hundred dollars from changing hands, but thinking of his beloved wife, he gritted his teeth and refused: "I'm sorry, this is a Christmas present from me to my wife."

Jacob Bedford also laughed and said: "It's a Christmas present from me too."

Seeing the motorcyclist leaving helplessly, the two laughed very happily, as if they were able to buy the last two TV sets, which meant that they would continue to have good luck in the coming year.

In the afternoon, Christabel Hess, who had just completed a big purchase from the supermarket, was in a good mood. When he got home, he quickly noticed that the old TV in the living room had been replaced with a 34-inch large color TV.

Her mind was buzzing suddenly, and she felt bad all over.

Thinking of what her husband said before to buy her a Christmas gift, and looking at the big color TV in front of her, she felt that she understood what happened at once.

Brewer Markham, who was tinkering with the TV installation at this time, looked back at Christabel Hess standing behind him, and immediately stood up to claim credit: "Honey, you're back? Look..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Christabel Hess crying with aggrieved expression.

Brewer Markham suddenly became at a loss. He dropped the instruction manual and hugged Christabel Hess, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Why are you crying so hard?"

Christabel Hess was full of grievances, and looked at him angrily: "Are you ashamed to ask? Didn't I say before, don't spend money recklessly! Don't you care about me? Don't you care about the things in my stomach? child?"

Two consecutive critical strikes broke Brewer Markham's defenses, and he quickly argued: "Listen to me, my wife, I really didn't spend money randomly! I only spent money on this brand new TV. Five hundred dollars!"

Christabel Hess didn't believe it at all, and yelled: "Five hundred dollars? Such a big brand new color TV, do you think you can fool me? I saw it in the supermarket just now, and such a big color TV costs at least 1000 taels One hundred dollars! Husband, I know you want to make me happy, but you can't lie to me! Our family is so poor, what you should consider is how to survive and your children..."

Brewer Markham argued, "Why don't you believe me? It really only cost five hundred dollars!"

Christabel Hess was shocked: "The 34-inch color TV really only sells for five hundred dollars? You can't buy stolen goods, right?"

Brewer Markham hastened to assure: "It was definitely not stolen."

He remembered the place where he bought the TV set at that time, and said in a low voice, "I think it might have been shipped from Mexico through a special channel."

"Mexico country? Mexico country also produces TV sets?"

Christabel Hess obviously didn't believe it. After all, from her usual impression of reading the news and newspapers, Mexico was in turmoil, the industry was backward, and people couldn't even eat enough. How could it be possible to produce such high-tech things as TV sets? ?
In this era, in order to convince the public that America is the beacon of mankind and the ultimate form of civilization, the United States has launched propaganda through various channels on a daily basis. On the one hand, it praises the beauty and cash of the United States, and on the other hand, it exaggerates the turmoil and terror abroad.In particular, these countries around the United States are described by them as a sinful hell.

Brewer Markham shook his head slightly, and said, "I just looked in the dictionary, and it says in this manual that these things are all made by Xia Guo."

Christabel Hess's understanding of Xia Guo even stayed in the era when men wore braids—no way, that's how the media publicized it. According to the media's propaganda, Xia Guo didn't even have electricity now.

"Xia Guo can still make this? Is it reliable?"

"Wait until you look good and you'll know."

After half an hour, Brewer Markham finally installed the TV, connected the satellite dish, and after turning it on, a picture appeared on the TV.

"It's easy to use!"

Christabel Hess was overjoyed. The 34-inch super-large screen brought an unprecedented shocking picture, which was better than the previous 19-inch second-hand TV.The key is the price, a brand new TV is only five hundred dollars, even comparable to the second-hand one I bought before!
While feeling sweet in her heart, she glared at Brewer Markham angrily, and complained to him, "Before spending money next time, you must discuss it with me. I will forgive you this time, hmph."

Brewer Markham saw that the shopping was safe and that everyone could have a merry Christmas, so he nodded quickly and said, "Definitely."

In this way, through special channels, these large color TVs have entered thousands of households in San Diego at ultra-low prices, especially for many low-income families, the price of [-] dollars is too sweet to resist.

Soon, the [-] color TV sets were sold out, and many people came to inquire every day, expressing their strong willingness to buy.

The news was directly fed back to Epstein, who immediately called Lu Yiming without hesitation and said, "Lu, I need more goods, do you know that the product you recommended is really selling well?" gone."

Epstein was as excited as a two-hundred-pound child. He earned more than $100 million almost effortlessly, and judging by his posture, he could earn more in the future.

Therefore, compared with Lu Yiming, he was more impatient.

When Lu Yiming heard the good news, although he didn't expect it, he was still very happy, and immediately said with a smile: "As long as the money is in place, the goods can be shipped to Mexico at any time."

Huizhou.

Yang Xiaopeng came back directly from Mexico this time by plane. As soon as he left the airport, he returned to the company non-stop, found Li Dongsheng, and said: "The payment has been sent back from the United States, and [-] color TVs will be sold within a few days." It's sold out. There's already a push to get the goods over there."

In the office, Li Dongsheng got up immediately and said excitedly, "What you said is true?"

No wonder he was so excited, it was because the company was really sad right now.

It can even be said that no one in Xia Country's color TV industry has a good life.

Under the crazy involution of major domestic brands, even foreign brands have completely given up on Xia Guo's low-end market. It can be said that there is not even a single one that can compete.

And those who can successfully fight their way out in the Xiaguo color TV market are naturally called ruthless characters. Selling the products to the United States this time can even be said to be a blow to dimensionality reduction.

After all, there is no country on earth that can match the cost and selling price of Xia Guo's companies.

At this moment, the haze in Li Dongsheng's heart was gone, and he successfully sold the TV set, which can almost be said to bring the company back to life.

Not only has a solution to the problem of overstocked inventory been found, but also precious foreign exchange has been earned.

Now, Li Dongsheng can even proudly say: We are also an enterprise that can earn foreign exchange through export!
He imagined a beautiful blueprint for the future in his mind, and when he came back to his senses, Li Dongsheng immediately gave Yang Xiaopeng an order: "Immediately deliver the goods to the country of Mexico, this time directly transporting [-] units."

Now, he is the only TV company that makes money through this model, and directly monopolizes the market.What he thought was that he must eat as much of this market as possible before other colleagues reacted.

But obviously he underestimated the difficulty of this matter.If it weren't for Lu Yiming's relationship with Epstein, this business would have been impossible to win.This is not something that others can do if they want to.

Although this decision is bold, Yang Xiaopeng still supports it. After all, he has personally visited the market in the United States and knows that there is no rival for his own 34-inch color TV at the same price.

What Philips, what Sony, all stand aside.

You have strong technical strength and a good brand image, but so what?
Do you dare to sell your product for less than $[-]?

For those users who don't have much money on hand, it's all nonsense to talk about brands and technologies, and price is everything.

Yang Xiaopeng went to arrange the delivery, while Li Dongsheng called Lu Yiming to announce the good news. Knowing that Lu Yiming had just returned to Baiyun City, Li Dongsheng insisted on visiting Baiyun City to treat Lu Yiming to a meal and express his gratitude.

In the hotel box, Li Dongsheng was holding a glass of white wine, and when facing Lu Yiming, he was very respectful: "I, Li, will always remember Mr. Lu's kindness and virtue, and I will never say anything if I can help you in the future."

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are being polite. We are all from the Xia Kingdom, and we should help each other."

Li Dongsheng sighed and said: "If everyone thinks like you, then Xia Guo will have no difficult business. The current situation is that everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, so who cares about others' roofs? The industry has a conscience."

Regarding this point, Lu Yiming is of course clear. To put it mildly, this is called competition, and to put it bluntly, it is a coward.He said: "Mr. Li, I won't say these words. All in all, we are making a fortune in silence. Don't make this matter public. If any diplomatic disputes are caused, it will not end well."

Li Dongsheng was as good as others, and said on the spot: "I will definitely not talk about this matter. After all, I don't want to have another competitor."

However, if they don't say it, it doesn't mean that others don't say it either.
