Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 124
"Do you think I want this thing to be useful?" Duan Yun said with a slight smile.

"This is definitely a good thing. After using it for half a year, there is no problem at all, and the sound quality is also very good. We don't have many in Daxing..." Gao Lei tried his best to sell his tape recorder.

"This thing is really useless to me." Duan Yun shook his head.

"Hey." A look of disappointment flashed across Gao Lei's face, and then he took off a watch from his wrist and placed it in front of Duan Yun.

This is a plum watch that looks [-]% new, and the steel case looks full of texture.

"And this..." While speaking, Gao Lei put his sunglasses, which had not been torn off the trademark, in front of Duan Yun again.

"You..." Seeing this scene, Duan Yun couldn't help frowning, and asked Gao Lei, "I want to know what kind of business you want to borrow money for?"

"I see that there are quite a lot of people buying TV sets in our factory. I heard from my friend that there is a fishing village in the south very close to TW, where fishermen often exchange things like silver dollars with the fishing boats opposite for TV recorders and so on. , if you are lucky, you should be able to buy very cheap things..." Gao Lei said excitedly.

"Hahaha!" Duan Yun laughed upon hearing this.

Duan Yun could see it, this Gao Lei must have heard friends bragging at the dinner, saying that reselling this one can make a fortune, and reselling that one can also make a fortune, but the actual situation is not that simple, but Gao Lei heard these things and let His blood was boiling and his heart was surging. He wished he could go to the South to buy some things and return to his hometown to resell them to make a lot of money. Obviously, he imagined things too ideally.

"I feel that this is really a good way to make a fortune..." Seeing that Duan Yun seemed a little disapproving, Gao Lei tried to explain.

"Then let me ask you, if you bought a cheap TV from the south, how would you transport it back to the north? How many TVs can you bring with you at a time? Now that the law and order is so bad, what if someone robs you? Even if you are Huo Yuanjia, One can make ten, what if the TV is broken or broken? In addition, the quality of the parallel imports you bought is problematic, can you tell if it doesn’t work well, can you still sell it?” Duan Yun breathed out Gao Lei was asked several questions.

"This..." Gao Lei was at a loss for words when he heard the words.

"Let's talk about borrowing money first." Duan Yun changed the subject and asked Gao Lei, "Tell me, how much do you want to borrow from me for these things?"

"Six hundred!" Gao Lei said to Duan Yun with wide eyes.

"You are not kidding, second-hand goods are not worth so much." Duan Yun replied with a smile.

"That's five hundred!" After Gao Lei finished speaking, he saw Duan Yun still smiling and said nothing, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Three hundred is fine, nothing less. My watch alone cost more than 200 at the beginning." What about..."

Obviously, 300 yuan is Gao Lei's bottom line.

"Yes!" Seeing that Gao Lei's tone was pleading, Duan Yun finally nodded.

"That's great." Gao Lei was overjoyed when he heard the words, and raised his wine glass to toast with Duan Yun.

"Wait." Duan Yun signaled Gao Lei to put down his wine glass, and said to Gao Lei, "I can lend you money, but there are conditions."

"you say!"

"My suggestion is that you don't go to that fishing village in the south to buy smuggled TVs and radios. Those things are too risky, and the transportation is not convenient." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "Actually, you can go to If you take a trip to Guangzhou, there is an electronic goods street in Hong Kong, and you can buy some electronic watches and sell them, and you can make a lot of money.”

Duan Yun also learned about Guangzhou Electronics Street from some news reports in his previous life, and he also knows that many people have made a fortune by reselling electronic watches these days.

In addition, in this year, different from the "luxury goods" such as TV sets, watches are definitely a necessity for many people. People's first watch, which is an important reason why electronic watches are now popular in China.

"Digital watch?" Gao Lei was startled when he heard that.

Gao Lei is no stranger to electronic watches.

At the beginning of the 80s, various electronic watches began to emerge in China. The prices were much cheaper than mechanical watches, and the styles were also very trendy, so they were very popular.

But Gao Lei only wanted to do something big in his mind before. For example, if you buy a TV for 300 and sell it for [-], you can earn [-] yuan in one go. Although the electronic watch is profitable, the profit seems to be a little less. It didn't suit Gao Lei's taste.

"This is 600 yuan, please order." At this time, Duan Yun took out a wad of banknotes wrapped in newspaper from his pocket, put it on the table, and said to Gao Lei: "I borrowed 400 yuan from it." For yours, I don’t care what watch you buy. For another 200 yuan, you have to help me buy electronic watches made in Japan. The more functions, the more fancy the better. In addition, the other party must issue an invoice and bring it back to me. Look at this Can you accept the conditions?"

Duan Yun is a person who does not get up early without profit. He pointed out the way of making money for Gao Lei, and of course he wanted to make a fortune from it. As for how to sell the watches he bought, it is not difficult. Electronic watches have been selling well in Daxing in the past two years. Duan Yun has acquired a lot of high-quality users through the installation of antennas. At that time, he only needs to use the guise of antenna after-sales service to take the opportunity to sell a wave, and it should be completely sold.

In fact, Duan Yun can also go to the south to buy goods by himself, but it is too risky to be a loser these days, especially when the "Eight Kings" incident broke out in a few years, Duan Yun dared not take this risk easily, and let Gao Lei go Asking for directions with stones is a very safe way.

"Okay!" Gao Lei agreed immediately after hearing the words, counted the money Duan Yun handed over carefully, then pushed the sunglasses watch and the tape recorder in front of Duan Yun, and said, "These are all yours." !"

These three items are equal to 400 yuan sold to Duan Yun. Although it is a bit of a loss, Gao Lei can fully accept it. After all, these items are used second-hand goods, and the price Duan Yun gave is considered a conscience.

"You can keep this for yourself." After Duan Yun glanced at the things on the table, he pushed Gao Lei's plum blossom watch back.

"You are..." Gao Lei was taken aback when he saw this.

There is no doubt that among these three things, this plum watch is the most valuable, but Duan Yun actually chose to give it up.

"I already have a watch, and it's useless to hold it." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Besides, you can't do business without the concept of time, so just treat it as a gift from me."

"Duan Yun, it's so interesting..." Gao Lei couldn't help being moved when he heard this.

"As for the other two things, put them in my place for the time being. I'll return the radio and sunglasses to you when you come back from the south this time." Duan Yun smiled slightly at Gao Lei, raised his glass and said: "Come on, finish this glass of wine, I wish you success this time!"

"Do it!" Gao Lei also said gratefully.

The next moment, with the sound of the wine glasses colliding, the two drank the wine in one gulp...
