NOVEL WEB Chapter 29 How to sell TVs
The next morning, Fang Bai and his father had breakfast and went to the city together.
When returning, Fang Shi rode a car and carried Fang Bai.
Fang Bai sat on the rear frame, carrying his father's clothes and watching his father pedal hard. When he reached the slope, he jumped off.
When I make money, I will buy a motorcycle for my father.
I can’t bear to buy such a motorcycle. Next time I go to T city, I will try to get a second-hand one. It will be more convenient for my parents to commute to the city. Unlike now, it takes at least half an hour to get to the rental house by bike. It is also convenient to ride a motorcycle at night. Some.
Half an hour later, the father and son arrived at the rental house.
"Son, this house is quite nice. How much does it cost to rent it for a year?" Fang Shi saw his son taking the key to open the door and looked up to observe the situation on the second floor and the surrounding area.
"About 360 yuan."
"So expensive."
"Dad, you have to adapt to this. When doing business, you have to think like a business." Fang Bai opened the door, and a room full of TVs appeared in front of his father's eyes, which shocked him.
"Oh my god, there are really hundreds of TVs." Fang Shi said in a daze and couldn't help but count.
The TV was placed against the wall, taking up half of the floor space, and was stacked several floors high.
Fang Shi was slightly worried: "Son, can these be repaired?"
"It's impossible to repair them all, just two of them can be put together into one."
Fang Bai has long said that he knows how to repair TVs. From then on, he will slowly show his genius in front of his family.
Even if the family members have doubts, they will not doubt anything too much and attribute Fang Bai's sudden intelligence to an accident.
"Dad, you sleep on the second floor, there is a bedroom."
Fang Bai took his father to the second floor. He had already discussed with his family that his father would help here and there was no way he would rush back to the village at night.
My mother can come here when she is not at work, and the family can live together here.
"Son, please do your work first. I'll put my things down first and see if there's anything I can do to help you."
Fang Shi quickly stepped into the role of working for his son. He couldn't repair a TV, and he didn't know how to deal with this business. His son could earn more than 10,000 yuan. If he could tinker with these things and see the way to make money, it would be better than being a father. Strong.
As long as he can repair some and sell them, he will get his money back, but he doesn't understand the specific operation and can only listen to his son's arrangements.
Fang Bai went downstairs to write posters. After a while, his father came down from the second floor and said to him: "Dad, we need to recruit a few people to help me repair these TVs. I know the general problems of these TVs, so I need someone to help me." To dismantle the TV, it is best to have some knowledge of electricians. I can instruct them to disassemble and repair the TV.
The salary is easy to say, but the main thing is to find people. I want to recruit students with related majors from nearby electronics factories or the University of Wencheng.
After a while, we split up into two groups. You ride to the nearby area to see if there is an electronics factory. If there is one, put up the poster near the factory. Don't put it up at the door of other factories, otherwise you won't get scolded.
I went to the University of Winchester to put up posters and had an interview at the store. "
"Okay, no problem, but isn't the salary of 10 yuan a day too high?" Fang Shi nodded, took a look at the recruitment information on the poster, and felt that the salary was too high.
"Dad, we are in a hurry now. There are many second-hand TVs in T City. The TV market is very big and there is endless money to be made.
Let alone ten yuan a day, if I can find talented people who can help me solve this problem and allow me to enjoy the benefits, I will give you a hundred yuan a day.
Dad, think about it, one person can help us earn hundreds or thousands of dollars a day, so why not give them a little sweetness?
Although we can recruit people with a salary of just a few dollars a day, the lack of capabilities in all aspects hinders our continued expansion and my review. "
Fang Bai patiently explained to his father, hoping that he would understand the key points.
In the next few years, the currency will depreciate rapidly, and wages will also rise rapidly. Now ten yuan a day is a high wage, but by 1993, it was very common.
"Okay, you have a point."
Fang Shi couldn't accept it at first, but after hearing his son's analysis, it made sense. He couldn't bear to let the child trap the wolf.
After a while, the father and son set off.
Fang Bai took a rickshaw to the nearby Wencheng University, which is still a junior college. Sneak into the university and put up recruitment posters on the school poster board.
[High-paying talent recruitment: As our company expands its business, we are in desperate need of talents, and now we need several students who are familiar with repairing TVs and circuit boards!
Salary: 10 yuan/day!
Settlement is done on the same day and lunch is included. This job can be done part-time or on a long-term basis.
Note: Only junior students are recruited.
Also a reminder, there is no registration fee required. Any companies that charge registration fees for interviews and registrations are scammers!
Work and interview location: Opposite Oubei No. 1 Middle School...
Contact person: Mr. Fang]
There is no contact number, and the company has not been established, but the poster is correct. Anyway, the company will be established sooner or later.
As soon as Fang Bai finished putting up the poster, students passing by flocked to watch it. After seeing the content clearly, they started talking about it.
"Wow, the salary is high."
"It's not much. After we graduate and enter a good employer, we might earn more than this."
"This is different. They are only recruiting temporary workers. Where can we find part-time workers with such high salaries?"
"I don't want to work for the private sector anyway."
The monthly living expenses of most students are not high. For children from rural families, the amount provided by their families is generally less than ten yuan a month.
The state also provides subsidies to college students, but if they are not normal college students, the subsidies are less.
Many students' families are particularly short of money. They also have younger sisters and younger brothers who need money to study. In this era, who doesn't have a brother or sister?
Now this company can provide a salary of ten yuan a day, which solves the urgent needs of most students.
The thinking of students in this era is different from that of later generations. Many students are arrogant and feel that they will work in the system/system for a job after graduation and that it is impossible to work in the private sector.
Even if I kill you, I won’t go!
What they didn’t know was that five or six years later, the country began to implement a no-bag distribution system for college students. By 1998, it was implemented on a large scale. By 2000, the package distribution system was completely stopped.
Some students are proud, but some students are willing to try.
Not to mention ten yuan a day, but only a few yuan a day, and many students are still interested.
Private companies come to the school to recruit part-time workers. Such cases are very rare at the University of Wenzhou, and many students have never seen them.
Since wages can be settled on the same day and lunch is included, students are not afraid of being cheated.
But the requirements are not low, and you must be able to repair TVs or circuit boards.
Fang Bai posted a few posters on several publicity boards at Wencheng University, then left the university and returned to renting an apartment.
How to sell a repaired TV?
This is a question he has been pondering recently.
He thought about ways to sell TVs, such as setting up street stalls, opening electrical appliance stores, door-to-door sales and other different sales methods.
Families that can afford a TV will not be very poor financially. They are more inclined to buy in regular stores, and it is best to open an electrical appliance store.
However, opening another store requires funds!
Store decoration also takes time.
For Fang Bai, spending more money is nothing, the main thing is time.
He thought about it briefly and felt that people in this era still had no problem accepting street stalls. He could try it first and save some money and time.
If the street stall sales results are not satisfactory, he can also consider other sales methods.
Maybe, his idea is wrong.
