Chapter 4 Turn Huaqiangbei into a back garden!
Author: Dr. Yingman
"This is?!"
Brother Peng's eyes were wide open because he discovered that there was such a surprising picture inside this bright morning phone.
“These tiny disassembly scratches and old rubber ports, is this a refurbished machine?!”
Brother Peng exclaimed in disbelief. As a practitioner in the mobile phone sales industry, he also knows a lot about mobile phones.
Among them, refurbished mobile phones are very common in Huaqiang Beina. It can even be said that five out of ten "new mobile phones" sold by his brother Peng are refurbished phones.
There is no way, the profits earned from selling refurbished phones are too great. You can sell the price of a new phone at a lower purchase price. It can be said that the profit you can make from selling two normal new phones is not as good as one refurbished phone.
Profit earned from mobile phones!
Therefore, selling refurbished machines in Huaqiangbei is almost a routine operation, and it is not surprising.
At this time, Brother Peng was surprised that the mobile phone that he thought was of such good quality that it could never be a refurbished phone turned out to be a refurbished phone, which surprised him.
"Hahaha, it seems like I should make a fortune."
…
On the other hand, at this time, Lin Chen did not take the huge sum of 9,320 yuan to the bank for deposit. Instead, he took the funds to SEG Electronics Plaza in Huaqiangbei because the goods he wanted to buy next were quite large.
It cost him a lot of money to go to five or six mobile phone stores to purchase 13 units. Not to mention that the subsequent purchase volume will be even larger and more troublesome. Just by looking at such mobile phone stores one after another, the subsequent supply will not be able to grow rapidly.
After all, what he needs is not dozens or hundreds of Nogenia 5110s, but hundreds or even thousands!
If we look for such a large amount of goods one by one, I am afraid that all mobile phone stores in Shenzhen will have to search for them, and whether they sell them is another matter.
After all, people can make money by refurbishing mobile phones, so why should you make money? You are not the only one who can repair mobile phones!
Therefore, it is best to spend a little more to find a middleman with well-connected contacts.
At least before his strength reaches a certain level, it would be easier for middlemen to go to other mobile phone stores to get the goods at a slightly higher price, and more refurbished phones can be sold more quickly.
So Lin Chen arrived at SEG Electronics Plaza in less than 5 minutes with a huge sum of money.
This SEG Electronics Plaza is the oldest one among the Huaqiangbei Electronics Plazas. It has a history of more than 14 years since it was founded in 1988. The most famous one here is the One Meter Pavilion.
As the name suggests, a one-meter shop floor is a shop floor about one meter in size. That is, the counter of a daily computer desk is the same shop floor.
On the surface, it seems that their shop is too small to sell anything, but in fact, repair shops or shopping malls all over the country purchase goods from here, so although the shop is small, it has a lot of energy.
A few years later, experts and media came to Huaqiangbei for investigation, and experts from Mediland gave 100% praise for Huaqiangbei's supply capabilities.
Experts from the United States pointed out that if a company needs to purchase 400 electronic components and accessories, it would take 4 months to complete the purchase in the United States, but it only takes one day here in Huaqiangbei!
This is the strength of Huaqiangbei in this era, and it is also the reason why Lin Chen came to Huaqiangbei to develop.
There is no way, if you want to produce electronic products in this era, there is no place in the country that can match Huaqiang's component supply capacity.
…
“Do you sell the disassembled parts or faulty or broken units of the Nokia 5110?”
When Lin Chen came to SEG Plaza, he asked about a salesman named Xinke Electronics Store. He was a young man about the same age as Lin Chen. At this time, he was reading a newspaper intently.
And this Xinke Electronics store is pretty good within the area of hundreds of meters. One store alone is three meters in size. It stands out among the many one-meter stores. They should be able to supply Nuoji on a large scale in the future.
The faulty and broken machine of Asia 5110.
"Of course there is, but how much do you want to buy?"
The Xinke Electronics salesman replied casually, without letting go of the newspaper.
In response to this, Lin Chen thought for a moment and gave his answer:
"At least 500 units are needed within the next month."
"future?"
The Xinke Electronics salesman had an inexplicable smile on his lips, and then said with a cold face:
"Don't talk to me about the future. Huaqiangbai said there are too many people in the future. To be honest, how many units do you want now?"
Seeing the Xinke Electronics salesman who was very difficult to talk to, Lin Chen could only tell the quantity he wanted to purchase with a calm face:
"40 units."
Previously, he bought 13 Nokia 5110s at a mobile phone store for 2,000 yuan. Two of them could not be repaired and had to be disassembled for other accessories.
In addition to 2,000 yuan, I also spent about 500 yuan on repair parts, so I actually invested 2,500 yuan and finally earned 6,820 yuan.
This time I have 9,320 yuan, which theoretically can buy 60 units, but this time Lin Chen wants to buy some better-looking Nomagia 5110s, so that Lin Chen can repair and replace them faster.
But better quality means a higher purchase price. Finally, with the addition of a middleman, the purchase price will be even higher, so you can actually only buy about 40 units with the principal of 9320.
However, when the Xinke Electronics salesman heard that Lin Chen only needed 40 units, he immediately shook his head with disdain and said:
"How dare you come to us to purchase just 40 units? Do you know when our purchase this time didn't cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan?
If you need to buy 40 pieces of accessories and disassembled parts of Nokia 5110, I would welcome it, but collecting faulty and broken machines of Nokia 5110 is too troublesome.
You'd better go to those mobile phone stores to look for them, you can't come here."
Looking at the disdainful eyes on the other side, Lin Chen's face suddenly darkened, and then he realized the reason for everything.
Everything is due to strength. Outsiders don't know that his Chenguang mobile phone can sell well. They only think that he is a young man who is destined to lose money.
They thought that after making this small business, there would be no next profit, so they were not willing to invest capital in Lin Chen, and were not willing to waste manpower, material resources and human feelings for a mere 40 units.
"Then I'll say goodbye."
Lin Chen did not savagely entangle with the other party because it was meaningless!
People just look down on you and don’t want to make your little money. What can you do at this time?!
However, it may have been an accident. Lin Chen then went to ask another smaller one-meter store, but the result was undoubtedly the same as that of Sinovac Electronics.
"Ah."
At this time, when the Xinke Electronics salesman saw Lin Chen hitting a wall in a smaller one-meter shop, he immediately let out a sarcastic laugh.
Seeing this, Lin Chen also felt angry.
After all, Lin Chen was ridiculed and despised over and over again, and Lin Chen was not a statue of Buddha made of clay. How could he still be content and happy after being ridiculed and despised?
However, Lin Chen was an adult after all, so he did not curse and fight with the Xinke Electronics salesman on the spot, but left the place expressionlessly.
After all, there is no point in verbally quarreling, cursing or even fighting with him. A real man should find a way to give the opponent a hard blow and make the other person suffer for a lifetime, instead of scolding him like a shrew and making others laugh at him!
So the rest of the journey was speechless, when Lin Chen came to the gate exit of SEG Electronics Plaza.
Lin Chen turned slightly and looked inside the densely populated SEG Building. His eyes showed great ambition, but he made a decision in his heart:
"In the future, I will become a super boss that everyone in Huaqiangbei admires!"
Although Lin Chen did not say what was in his heart at this time, many adults who passed by could tell what he was thinking through Lin Chen's movements and firm eyes.
But soon, after being surprised, they shook their heads and turned away, not optimistic about this young man's ambition.
Because they also said very similar words to Lin Chen many years ago.
When they first came to Huaqiangbei, they were full of energy and always thought they could make a career, but in the end reality taught them the principles of life.
