After all, it was already very close to the closing time of the service department, so not long after waiting, the two dark-skinned men came out.
One of them was pushing two bicycles, and the other was holding a radio.
Of course, these two products are only domestic products.
As soon as he saw this scene, Hong Yanwu was more sure of his thoughts and hurried up to offer a toast and answer.
After asking about it, it turned out to be exactly what he thought.
These two were construction workers who aided in the construction of Tanzania and had just returned home after four years. Except for the large and small two they had just used, all the remaining indicators were still there.
Not to mention, they really can't use it. In fact, because they don't make much money abroad, they just plan to purchase the "three turns and one ring", and the other indicators are basically useless.
Moreover, their relatives and friends in their respective families are not rich, and no one asks for the quota in their hands.
So when they heard that Hong Yanwu wanted to pay for the indicators in their hands, they were all stunned, and then they were overjoyed.
To be honest, under normal circumstances, anyone would have to "swoop up" at this time and "slaughter" them severely. Basically, giving them ten or twenty yuan would be enough to get rid of these two people.
But Hong Yanwu really felt that it was not easy for workers like them. After all, his own eldest brother was also a worker like this. Whether he was stupid or naive, he all contributed to the country in this way. He really didn't want to be too conscience-stricken and put the last of his life on them.
Every bit of oil and water was scraped off.
As a result, he felt compassion and quoted the price at 40 for small items and 80 for large items.
Of course, this is also leaving room for the two of them to bargain. His real expectation is that the small item will cost fifty and the large item will cost one hundred.
Unexpectedly, the working people are straightforward and have no crooked minds. Without even paying the price, these two people pointed out four large items and four small items. They seemed to be afraid that he would regret it.
Push it into his hand.
As soon as the two construction workers heard Hong Yanwu's initial quotation, they felt it was quite suitable. If they exchanged money at this price, they would undoubtedly have gained several months of extra wages. With the money to buy "three turns and one ring", they could get
More than half of it was taken out. I was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away.
Seeing how impatient they were, Hong Yanwu and the others were all happy. Then he took them to a secluded place with understanding and immediately ordered two hundred and forty yuan for each person.
As soon as they got the money, the two construction workers couldn't stop laughing.
But things were not over yet. Hong Yanwu knew that they still had a few more in their hands. With his shrewdness, he could naturally guess that the "Service Vouchers for Overseas Personnel" left by these two people were intended to be used as industrial vouchers.
How can you not feel bad when you buy a "three turns and one beep" product, watching them waste a good thing?
So I gave them another cigarette, and then talked about the remaining indicators in their hands.
The two construction workers are actually very interested. But what makes them embarrassed is that if they sell all the quotations, what will they do with the remaining things in the future? They have already promised their family, but they really can't explain it.
When Hong Yanwu heard this, he said that the matter was easy to handle, and immediately asked "Tang Xin'er" and "Cier Mei" to go to the front of the department store to "find a solution."
So within ten minutes, the two girls exchanged fifty yuan for the price and returned with enough industrial coupons.
Hong Yanwu immediately expressed his willingness to give away these industrial bonds for free, but the price of the quota remained unchanged.
At this time, Chen Liquan also sent a few bottles of soda to the two construction workers. Seeing how thoughtful the two were, what was there to hesitate about? They quickly handed over the remaining indicators.
Drinking soda and smoking cigarettes, with their pockets full of money, the two of them felt a little embarrassed. One of them even wanted to be generous and spend money to treat Hong Yanwu and the others to eat steamed buns.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu laughed, said "I understand", and then continued to trick the two of them. This time, for a higher goal, he started to ask them whether there were any other aid workers who could not use them.
index.
When he heard that a total of eight people had returned from the capital, and their situation was similar to these two, Hong Yanwu had a new idea.
What he meant was that he wanted the two workers to introduce others to them, and if they paid the same price, they would be charged ten yuan for each large item and five yuan for each small item.
It would be fine if these two workers collected other people's quotas and resold them to them. That would be 90 yuan for large items and 45 yuan for small items. How much profit they can make depends on their own abilities.
The two construction workers were really stunned this time. This was a beautiful thing that they had never even thought about. How could they not be happy about it?
What's more, in order to gain their trust, Hong Yanwu also took out another 20 yuan on the spot and gave each person 10 yuan. In his words, this was called a "deposit" to prevent them from worrying that their trip would be in vain.
The two construction workers didn't say anything, accepted the money on the spot and settled the matter. In this way, the two parties agreed to meet again at the main entrance of the department store at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow, rain or shine.
Finally, after shaking hands with great solemnity, Hong Yanwu said goodbye to them like revolutionary comrades.
It was truly a complete success when things got to this point.
Both parties were happy, and Hong Yanwu fully exploited the potential of the two construction workers. The two construction workers were also lucky to have encountered such a way to make a fortune. In today's terms, it is called a "win-win".
"Tangxin'er" and "Ciermei" almost regarded Hong Yanwu as their idol. They didn't expect that the closing quota could be discussed like this.
Ask yourself, they can achieve the first step, or at most the second step, by themselves.
But the profits hidden behind this "big business" are much greater than they appear on the surface. If those construction workers really want to get them all back, these indicators will be enough for them to work for a year.
So sitting in the "Cuihua Building", "Tang Xin'er" kept pouring wine for Hong Yanwu Bucai. His eyes were affectionate and extremely gentle, and he really regarded him as his sweetheart.
"Ciermei" was generous with her kind words and praised Hong Yanwu very much. She even praised Hong Yanwu as a peony. She also frequently raised her glass to toast him.
"'Red Boy', I thought you were impatient at first. How could you give those two blind fools such a good price? This would be detrimental to your wisdom! I didn't expect that you were more scheming and used it first.
You slapped the two idiots in a big way and made them regard you as a good person. Then you took out all their secrets step by step. You did it so neatly. Sister, I admire you!"
It's just that Hong Yanwu didn't feel so comfortable hearing her words. Moreover, he couldn't explain it. If he told his true thoughts, it would be a big joke in this circle.
Therefore, for him, apart from being perfunctory on the surface, he could only smile bitterly secretly.
Alas, how come our fate is always calculated differently from others? I don’t know if it’s because they didn’t calculate it correctly, or if I’m just doing it wrong.
Anyway, no matter how you put it, although everyone has different feelings, getting a "good start" on the first day is actually a very important event.
Not only is it a great success, but it also proves that this road is feasible. It is like giving "Tangxin'er" and "Ciermei" a "safety pill".
Even though the business didn't open again that afternoon, they were not discouraged. After the service department closed, they all happily waved goodbye and agreed to meet again tomorrow.
Besides, having said that, this afternoon was not wasted in vain. At least Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan came forward and successfully ordered two more TVs.
A color TV is an 18-inch Hitachi, priced at 1,280 yuan. A black-and-white TV is a 14-inch Sony, priced at 520. According to relevant regulations, the goods will be picked up after three days.
It should be said that compared with domestic TVs at that time, even if they were tax-free, the absolute price of imported TVs was more expensive.
But the problem is how to think about it. At that time, most of the Peony black and white TVs produced by the Beijing TV Factory were nine inches, and the price was about 400. To make a comprehensive comparison in terms of size, quality and performance, the price of imported TVs could be
It's such a good deal.
Of course, this is not an absolute rule.
For example, the German brand "Telefunken" is very popular on the radio, but has a bad reputation on the television.
This brand of TV has a very beautiful appearance, but the color dots on the screen are very thick. Japanese screens generally require a magnifying glass to see the red, green and blue colors, but the "Telefunken" is almost visible to the naked eye.
The sound quality is very pleasant, the image quality is not as good as that of domestic machines, and it is easy to break. "Danube Waves" are common. Anyone who repaired TVs in those days knows this.
Fortunately, Hong Yanwu didn't want any brands that he was unfamiliar with. Don't mention "Telfungen". Even Polish and Hungarian TVs shook their heads. They only asked for cheap and high-quality Japanese products, so they were able to avoid this "land mine."
.
If it weren't for this, he might not even have a good impression of the Japanese.
