Chapter 7 Talking Bad About People

However, just when Sun Fuda was about to ask his secretary to completely block the number, the office phone rang.

Sun Fuda was stunned for a moment, then picked it up subconsciously, and before he could speak, he said bluntly, "Mr. Sun, how are you thinking? Give me an actual offer!"

Although Sun Fuda did not dare to believe the other party 100%, he still said, "Sir, may I ask your surname?"

Chen Ping did not hesitate: "My surname is Wang!"

The moment Chen Ping's voice fell, Sun Fuda felt relieved.

He just checked, the Ocean Internet Cafe in Anhe City, the registered legal person is indeed Wang.

"Hello Mr. Wang, the computer configuration you gave, if you buy more than 500 units, the minimum price is 2,600 yuan. How much do you plan to buy?"

Chen Ping was silent for a while. He didn't answer Sun Fuda's words. He just asked: "Then you can check it for me now. The configuration is... What is the price for a computer with this configuration?"

As soon as Chen Ping finished speaking, Sun Fuda found the result.

In fact, at this time in 2003, there were only a few mainstream configurations of computers, and they were not that complicated. Zhiguang Technology had a price list updated every day, and the computers with the previous configuration were all in one file, which was easy to check.

"Mr. Wang, the price of this configuration is indeed lower, but if you open an Internet cafe, this configuration of computers may not be enough, right?"

"Don't worry about it, just give me an offer!" Chen Ping's tone was not polite at all.

Sun Fuda didn't care, and replied directly: "Similarly, if you buy more than 500 units at a time, the lowest price is 1800!"

"Okay, I'll think about it again and give you an answer tomorrow!"

After speaking, Chen Ping decisively hung up the phone.

Sun Fuda was dumbfounded.

This is decisive, your house is on fire?

Chen Ping couldn't hear Sun Fuda's slander. Anyway, what Chen Ping heard, there was no dissatisfaction in Sun Fuda's words. It seemed that the thing that was delayed for half an hour had never happened at all!

But Chen Ping didn't delay it on purpose. He had already made more than a dozen calls in the past half hour.

Contacted more than a dozen companies, two types of computers, and recorded more than a dozen prices.

But overall, the price is not much different.

The price of low-end computers is generally between 1700 and 1800.

The mid-range computer is between 2600 and 2700.

There is also a high-end computer, but Chen Ping didn't pay much attention to it. There are not many people who can buy high-end computers these days, and the quotations are all over 5,000!

Chen Ping thought for a while, wrote a number on the configuration sheet given by Wang Hailong, and then ran downstairs.

"Uncle Wang, take a look at this offer, okay?"

Wang Hailong glanced at the numbers on the list and immediately widened his eyes!

4200!

"What is this?" Wang Hailong was fascinated.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Computer quotation!"

Wang Hailong was stunned, then sighed and said bitterly: "Chen Ping, you are still young and you are preparing for the college entrance examination, so don't waste your energy on these things. When you go to college and have a lot of knowledge, you will consider doing business. It's not too late!"

Chen Ping frowned.

Somewhat puzzled: "Uncle Wang, is this price too high?"

Wang Hailong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not high, it's too low! Do you know what the retail price of a computer with this configuration is in the city's computer city?"

Chen Ping made an estimate and asked tentatively, "5000?"

Wang Hailong pouted: "It's 7800! Even if I find an acquaintance and give a cost price, it will cost 7000!"

Chen Ping's face darkened immediately.

This is such a slaughter!

But think about it, in 2003, computers were a luxury, and ordinary people rarely bought them because they were too expensive!

A computer costs more than 7,000, which is not high-end!

But in a few years, the price will not be so high.

With the development of online e-commerce platforms, group buying websites emerge in an endless stream, and online prices are more than half lower than retail in physical stores!

At that time, these retailers have to close their doors!

Chen Ping complained a few words in his heart, but then smiled: "Uncle Wang, are you worried that I'm being cheated? Don't worry, I'm from the city's computer city, I'm just a middleman, reselling computers to make a little difference! Wang! Uncle, don't you mind if I earn some hard money from you?"

Wang Hailong was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head, a little puzzled: "From the computer city in the city? The acquaintance I was looking for was also from the computer city, that is, Dong Baiyan from Daewoo Computer. The lowest price he gave me was 7,000!"

Chen Ping smiled: "So, I'm the way I make hard money! I can negotiate a lower price, but I have to earn about 1,000 yuan per computer!"

Wang Hailong was dumbfounded.

Chen Ping's offer was only 4,200 yuan, and he still made 1,000 yuan. Does that mean that he only needs 3,200 yuan to get the goods from the computer city? !

how can that be?

Wang Hailong couldn't figure it out even after breaking his head.

He runs an Internet cafe, not a computer dealer. He really doesn't know how deep the water is!

Who in the industry would casually spread the word?

After hesitating for a while, Wang Hailong could only say uncertainly: "Well, after you have negotiated the price, let's go together, and we can't be deceived!"

Chen Ping readily agreed.

"Chen Ping, do you really want to help Lao Wang buy a computer?" Wang Yang, who was pulled out of the Internet cafe by Chen Ping, asked in surprise.

Chen Ping smiled and nodded: "Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Wang Yang wondered: "But the price of the computer sold in the computer city is 7,000. If you sell it to Lao Wang for 4,200, you still have to lose money? What do you think?"

"Don't worry, my purchase price will definitely be lower!"

"Bullshit, do you really think I don't know? Anyway, my family also runs an Internet cafe, okay? The price of 7,000 is low enough, and the lowest price given by other companies is at least 7,200. Where can you find a source of 4,200?"

"The price of the physical store must be high, the price difference between the agents and dealers, and the rent, labor, storage, and transportation of the physical store. Which one doesn't need money? Although the price of 7,000 is a bit inflated, others are also If you want to make money, this price is not too outrageous! However, if you buy directly from the general distributor, it will be more than half cheaper!"

Wang Yang nodded, but Chen Ping could only explain what he had done before.

The dozen or so calls he made before, including Zhiguang Technology, were all general agents in Zhongguancun, and the prices were of course much cheaper to purchase directly from there.

This is also the approach taken by the group-buying model that prevailed a few years later.

It saves layers of middlemen and various expenses for physical stores, and the gap between the price and the retail price is simply worlds apart!

But after listening to Chen Ping, Wang Yang was surprised: "Since you can buy goods directly from Zhongguancun, why do you go to the computer city?"

"Of course I'm looking for a partner! Do you really buy from Zhongguancun? 300 computers, after the arrival of the assembly, maintenance, after-sales service, what do you do?"

Only then did Wang Yang understand Chen Ping's thoughts, but it was still a pity: "This will cost you a lot of money!"

Chen Ping rolled his eyes at him: "Are you stupid? With such a one-shot deal, we won't have to worry about anything after we earn a vote, and we can continue to resell the next batch of computers. On the contrary, if you do it all by yourself, you won't have to worry about it in the future. If you do anything else, just open a computer shop!"

Wang Yang nodded hesitantly, he didn't understand anyway, just listen to Chen Ping.

The computer city in Anhe City is not small. It does not only sell computers, mobile phones, cameras, and various digital products here, but the entire second floor is full of computers.

Chen Ping led Wang Yang to stroll around the second floor, and finally walked to a store in the corner that was hardly visited by anyone.

Wang Yang grabbed Chen Ping and said, "Go to this store? This store is obviously not going to open anymore, can't you see it?"

Chen Ping shook off Wang Yang's hand: "Don't pull it! Only those who can't drive can cooperate with us!"

After that, Chen Ping didn't explain to Wang Yang, and walked in directly.

There is only one salesperson in the store, and there is also a master who is sitting in the innermost part and is installing the machine.

As soon as the salesman saw someone coming, he hurried over: "Two gentlemen, do you want to buy a computer?"

Chen Ping smiled: "I'm looking for your boss!"

The salesperson smiled: "Sir, if you want to buy a computer, I can introduce it to you..."

"You can't be the master, ask the boss to speak out!"

The salesperson's smile stiffened and looked at Chen Ping and Wang Yang carefully.

These are two seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people, and the salesperson couldn't help but look down on them: "Sir, our store manager is very busy..."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Ping frowned.

He knows why this store is almost no one patronized, just like this service attitude, if they don't close down, they will die!

Chen Ping's face was worried: "I said, look for your boss, don't you understand? Can you handle the business of hundreds of machines as a salesperson?"

The salesperson was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Ping suspiciously.

Chen Ping raised his chin and gestured to Wang Yang: "My brother's house has an Internet cafe, and he needs hundreds of computers to replace the machine. Do you understand?"

The salesperson hurriedly smiled: "Okay sir, I'll contact our boss now!"

After speaking, she hurriedly walked to the side and called.

Wang Yang on the side was stunned: "Chen Ping, dare you to pull me over here, just to make a big flag by pulling tiger skins?"

Chen Ping smiled: "No, I'm bullshitting!"

Wang Yang didn't understand for a while, and after thinking for a while, his face changed: "Bah! You are the egg!"

After a while, the salesperson came back: "Sir, our boss's house is nearby, we will be there in ten minutes, please wait!"

Chen Ping nodded and casually found a seat in the store and sat down.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, the store door opened and a pretty figure walked in.

Seeing this woman, Chen Ping was stunned. She looked like she was only in her early twenties, not a few years older than herself. She should be a guest, right?

Chen Ping glanced at the time, and glanced impatiently at the salesman who had been with him: "It's been ten minutes, when will your boss be here? You don't have a sense of time, right?"

The salesman just stood up, and suddenly glanced at Chen Ping strangely: "This is our boss!"

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, then looked at the young woman who walked in front of them.

So embarrassing!
