Reminiscent of the previous scene where Ye Chen and Feng Qiang called themselves brothers, Chen Xiaowen had a vague feeling that this Ye Chen was really no longer someone he could afford to offend.
But fortunately, Liu Yang seemed to want to teach Ye Chen a lesson. Since it was Liu Yang who took action, Ye Chen must be dead!
Thinking about this, Chen Xiaowen began to prepare to investigate the source of Ye Chen's funds.
…
Ye Chen didn't know that Liu Yang had already taken action against him at this time.
After finishing the meal, he found a lot of white paper, then took out a writing brush and wrote on it: Red Star Leather Factory in Los Angeles closed down, the boss ran away, leather wallets and bags were sold at cheap prices, and wages were mortgaged!
Liu Lingya, who was standing aside, looked confused, "When did the Red Star Leather Factory close down?"
"Not yet, but soon!"
"Then when you write like this, aren't you lying?
And for what?"
Ye Chen smiled, and after writing the last note, he straightened up and said, "If I say it's bankrupt, that means it's bankrupt. Do ordinary people really go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to verify whether it's really bankrupt?"
?”
In this era of lack of transportation and Internet, the information gap between people is huge. In many cases, it all depends on one word.
Just like when he pretended to be Chen Xiaowen and went to the cannery to cheat on canned goods, the other party had no way of verifying him. As long as you pretend to be the same enough, people will believe you when you say you are the mayor.
After writing this, Ye Chen began to take out the tape recorder and tapes and prepare to record.
"Lingya, take Jingjing to the bedroom. No matter what happens, don't make a sound."
Ye Chen said.
Liu Lingya nodded, not knowing what the other party was going to do, so she could only carry Jingjing and walk into the room.
After Ye Chen confirmed that there was no noise around him, he cleared his throat and began to shout loudly: "Los Angeles Red Star, Los Angeles Red Star, the largest leather factory, Red Star Leather Factory, has closed down! The boss, Lu Huazhong, owed 200 million from eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling.
He ran away with his sister-in-law.
We have no choice but to use our wallets and purses as wages."
"They are all made of real cowhide. The original prices are more than fifty, more than thirty, more than twenty wallets, all of which cost fifteen yuan, all of which cost fifteen yuan! Lu Huazhong, you are not a human being. We have worked hard for you for more than half a year.
If you don’t pay wages, you will pay me back my hard-earned money, and you will pay me back my hard-earned money!”
After Ye Chen's voice finished shouting, it was still echoing in the small room. The tape happened to be rolled up. He played it out and listened to it several times. After he was satisfied, he let Liu Lingya and Jingjing come out.
At this time, Liu Lingya was completely stunned, "Ye Chen, are you okay?
Why are you doing this?"
"It's okay, it's just a marketing ploy, don't worry about it."
Ye Chen replied with a smile.
What he has to do is to use what happened at the Jiangnan Leather Factory in his previous life as a marketing tool this time.
The Jiangnan Leather Factory in the previous life did indeed go bankrupt. The boss, Huang He, caused the Jiangnan Leather Factory, which was originally very profitable, to collapse due to gambling. It can be said that a good card was played to pieces.
However, after the incident at Jiangnan Leather Factory, Huang He's uncle immediately stepped in to solve the problem and did not owe the workers wages.
After that incident, a large number of street stalls appeared across the country selling wallets with the slogan "Jiangnan Leather Factory closed down, wallets for wages".
These people took full advantage of the lack of information at that time and deceived others into saying that their wallets were high-end goods from Jiangnan Tannery. They were selling them just to offset their wages. In fact, they had nothing to do with Jiangnan Tannery.
Since the news of Jiangnan Leather Factory's collapse was well-known throughout the country, people immediately believed in these stalls. Coupled with people's natural tendency to take advantage, this marketing method indeed achieved miraculous results. A large number of businessmen relied on
This made a fortune.
However, what they call hundreds of genuine leather wallets is not just artificial leather that costs a few dollars.
Information at this time was even more underdeveloped than ten years later, and Red Star Leather Factory was also facing a rupture in its capital chain and was unable to pay wages.
Ye Chen knew very well that as long as the Red Star Leather Factory could not pay wages tomorrow, there would be rumors in Los Angeles that it was not working. At that time, he would stand up and say that it was bankrupt, and he would use his wallet cheaply to compensate the workers.
If the salary is high, a large number of people will believe it and take advantage of it.
By the time others notice, most of my goods will have been sold.
On the way home, Ye Chen carefully counted the goods in his hand. Although these leather bags were all made of real cowhide, they were not top-grain leather, so the cost was much lower than bags made of top-grain leather and the quality was poor.
It's a bit rough, but it's much better than artificial leather.
In fact, in a small city like Los Angeles, few people can afford products made from top-grain leather.
Now the cost of a wallet is about 5 yuan, the market price is 25 yuan, it is cheaper to sell it for 10 yuan. The cost of genuine leather women's leather bags and men's leather bags is about 10 yuan, the market price is 30 yuan, it is cheaper to buy it yourself
Order fifteen dollars.
Based on this calculation, he can earn about 350,000 yuan from this batch of goods. This amount of money is undoubtedly a huge amount of money in this era!
Of course, the premise of this is that everything should develop according to your own expectations.
Just as he was thinking about it, the phone rang. Even if Ye Chen didn't answer it this time, he knew it was Lu Huazhong's reminder call.
"Hello?
Mr. Ye, didn’t you say you would pay me tonight?”
Lu Huazhong asked, his tone obviously anxious.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Lu. When my secretary went to withdraw money just now, my old man found out."
"so what?
Isn’t it that your father gave you the money just to let Mr. Ye go out and make a living?"
"Oh, Mr. Lu, when my old man heard that I was going to place such a large order, he was really worried that I would be cheated, so he decided to send someone to investigate your company first, and only after confirming that there was no problem with your company, did he lend money to
Don't worry, I will call you as soon as possible!"
When Lu Huazhong heard this, he immediately became anxious, "You can't do this, Mr. Ye! We agreed at the beginning to pay the money tonight! You... what about the workers' wages tomorrow?"
"Mr. Lu, it doesn't matter if the workers' wages are delayed by two or three days, right?
Don’t you have any credibility in front of your employees?
If this is the case, I would really consider cooperating with you."
Ye Chen said.
When Lu Huazhong heard this, he realized that someone had caught his pigtails!
Moreover, he couldn't really ask the other party to bring the goods back, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, but Mr. Ye, I am really in a hurry here, you really have to hurry up!"
"Don't worry, it's no problem!"
Ye Chen promised swornly.
He knew very well that Lu Huazhong had a good reputation in the Red Star Leather Factory, so there would be no problem if he promised to pay the workers a few days later.
And he also wants to take advantage of it!
Ye Chen and Lu Huazhong exchanged pleasantries for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
