Chapter 245 Call Machine Business
Chapter 245 Call Machine Business
Shanghai Street, Anye Building.
Three days later, Da Pao returned to Hong Kong Island again. With the negotiated terms, he stepped into the office, bowed and shouted, "Brother Tang!"
Yin Zhaotang pulled the drawstring, closed the blinds on the glass window, and asked Dapao to sit on the chair.
Da Pao picked up the teacup, sipped the tea, and said in a tired tone and with a bitter face, "After two days and two nights of drinking, I finally got the deal done."
"The only way to send a call to Shencheng is through Shencheng Bay and land at Shawei."
"One shipload of goods costs 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Call to report one week in advance. If you don't report the goods, you will be unlucky if you suffer losses."
"Shenzhen City doesn't allow us to open a distribution store yet, so Long Ke's brother-in-law will do it."
Yin Zhaotang was wearing a black suit and was holding a teacup, shaking the incense vigorously.
After opening the lid of the bowl, he lowered his head and took a light sniff, looking satisfied, he put the teacup in place and started pouring hot water.
A little bit of steam comes out, spreading the fragrance of tea.
Amid the sound of flushing, he slowly said, "One person can never make all the money. The profit from supplying goods across the sea is already high enough. Someone else wants to make money from distribution. Let them make it!"
"If you can sell more goods, the price can be lowered."
Da Pao was holding a cigarette in his hand and tapping the tabletop with his legs shaking. He said anxiously, "I know. The boatmen are looking for water, and the landowners are collecting rent."
"It's easy for everyone to make a profit, but I feel bad when I think about having to go back and beg for mercy."
"This is the Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao sent by Uncle Ji from Dong'an Society." Yin Zhaotang poured him some hot tea, sat back in his chair, and wiped off the water stains with a tea cloth. He understood Dapao's feelings very well.
Those who have experienced the treatment of Hong Kong businessmen have become humble again and beg for help by posing as gangsters.
There must be a gap.
But he asked Da Pao to return to Hong Kong Island to separate investment from social group behavior. Without seeking political protection from Shenzhen leaders, there will be no political liquidation in the future.
People from the society go to discuss business with someone in a certain position.
That was a personal behavior and had nothing to do with him.
Long Ke is a smart man. He can see through Yin Zhaotang's little tricks and feels unhappy. He will definitely ask for a high price. The price of one hundred thousand dollars for a boat is a sky-high price!
However, the price of calling machines in the early 80s was not cheap.
To buy a digital machine in Hong Kong Island costs about HK$500, and to buy a text machine costs HK$900.
The purchase price is between NT$400 and NT$700. These cheap products from Taiwan factories are generally NT$50 to NT$100 cheaper than the Japanese versions.
On the market, users are mainly businessmen, securities traders and public officials, and ordinary citizens of Hong Kong Island cannot afford to own one.
When it is really introduced to the mainland, a calling machine will cost thousands of yuan, and the user is unlikely to be a small business owner. The calling machine will soon have social attributes and become a symbol of social status.
If you bring goods into Shenzhen, you don’t have to worry about selling them.
Because in the future, the mainland will have the world's largest population of pager users, and as the first wireless communication equipment launched for civilian use, the pager will fill the social demand for mobile communications for the first time.
Being able to negotiate with the mainland and ship at the same market price as Hong Kong Island, Dafei's profit from starting a motor has soared to 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. 100,000 may seem like a lot, but it doesn't mean you owe anyone a favor, and 50-50 is the market price!
As long as the Taiwan factory has goods and the mainland company receives them, running back and forth for a month can make more than 10 million. Of course, that is the most ideal situation. The Taiwan factory needs time to ship goods, and the mainland distribution also takes time.
But you can earn at least 5 million Hong Kong dollars a month, which is really lucrative.
Da Pao complained because he was unwilling to accept it. He also wanted to be a patriotic businessman, but unfortunately he didn't have the qualifications. After drinking tea, he sighed and vented his frustration, and sighed: "If I make money, I will be a grandson."
In fact, I have always been a grandson before, but after being a Hong Kong grandfather once, who would still want to be a grandson?
Yin Zhaotang shook his head and said comfortingly, "The most important thing is that the bosses make money and the brothers have jobs. Okay, let's go to Taiwan Island tomorrow to find a factory and have a good chat. We can even ask them to take care of the transportation, and we can save a few bucks."
When Da Pao heard about the business, he regained his composure and laughed, "Okay, I'll go to Taiwan in person and try to bargain."
"It's hard work, flying around all day."
Da Pao joked: "My brothers fly over the sea, and I fly in the sky. We are almost flying in the sky. I have been selling goods for more than ten years. With the help of the big boss, I finally started selling electrical appliances."
"Honestly, the call machine doesn't have a refrigerator, and the money earned by the TV is enough for me to eat all I want."
Yin Zhaotang showed dissatisfaction, tapped the table and cursed: "You idiot, are you still not satisfied? I have been eyeing this project for a long time. If you don't go back to the mainland to invest, don't even think about taking over the line."
Although he asked Dapao to take the money back to the mainland to negotiate, without Director Wu and others watching, it was not a collective action but an individual transaction. It was still unclear whether Long Ke would agree to it.
After all, whether the call comes or not is another issue.
The cannon can supply electricity, which shows its power.
They want high profits, don't offend anyone, and make money for the mainland. If they had foresight, they would have missed it. It's not that no one is doing smuggling, but the large companies have limited transportation capacity and need to transport other goods.
We only ship a batch occasionally, but it has not yet reached a large scale.
Call machines are expensive electronic products. Small companies have no money to purchase them and no connections in the mainland, which creates a short window of opportunity for Lao Zhong to enter the market.
After Dapao said goodbye, Yin Zhaotang opened the newspaper, folded the corner of the Shenzhen Daily's supplementary edition, stood up and put it into the bookcase.
The publication volume of 91 Magazine has stabilized at copies. The advertisements on the last page of the magazine include advertisements for some magic drugs, tiger and leopard pills, and Indian magic oil.
The remaining telephone advertisements, whether it is horse racing, gambling, or dating beautiful girls, etc.
They all direct traffic to the magazines and sell them themselves. In terms of the revenue from magazine sales, it may not be better than the historical "Longhubao", but in terms of the income from the entire newspaper, it is three to five times higher than "Longhubao".
evening.
Yin Zhaotang, accompanied by Niu Qiang and Hua Pi, walked out of Anye Building. Sha Hui followed him to take over the shift for a few days and did a good job, so he was kept by his side as a night shift driver.
It was time for the shift change. Sha Hui went up to greet Brother Niu Qiang and Brother Hua Pi, then drove Brother Tang home.
When passing by a music and video store on the street, there is a poster of Zhou Huimin on the door. When passing by the busy streets of Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei, you can hear tea restaurants and shops playing "Thousands of Songs" and "Silly Girl".
Two days ago, EMI Records officially released Zhou Huimin's first album, with the promotion and distribution channels of a large company laid out. She was the first contestant to release a personal album in the first singing newcomer competition.
"Thousands of Songs" attracted attention in terms of topicality, and with its excellent song quality, 6,000 records were sold in two days.
According to the standards of the Hong Kong Recording Association, it is certain to get a gold record. Whether it can be certified as a platinum record depends on the sales volume for an entire month.
