Chapter 999: Eating a Living
When Zhang Lei heard that Guo Zhiyun could earn 500 yuan for a TV, he looked at him in surprise.
I originally thought that earning 400 yuan from a TV was pretty unscrupulous.
I didn't expect that Guo Zhiyun, a warehouse manager, would not be as far-sighted as myself, a purchasing agent. Who knew that he would be even more black-hearted than myself.
"Lao Guo, we have always had a good relationship, right? I went on a long trip to purchase goods, but I didn't bring you anything good when I came back.
This time something good happened, and I was thinking of you. We plan to split the money we earn equally between us two brothers.
But you don't treat me as a brother. I have to make 500 yuan for a TV. Let's not talk about anything else. How can I explain this to the big boss?
You can't let me work for nothing, right? "
Guo Zhiyun looked at Zhang Lei and said.
"Brother, you have been doing purchasing outside for many years, so you may not be very familiar with our factory's products. Let me give you a lowdown.
You can ask around and see how many factories in the country can produce 26-inch color TVs.
All you can buy for extra money is either a small 21-inch color TV or a black and white TV.
The color TVs produced in our factory are not only large and of good quality, but also have clear pictures.
After all, the technology used is exported, and you have to pay at least 600 yuan more to buy it in the market.
I only want five hundred dollars, but I'll leave the profit for you, brother.
You think I earn a lot by earning 500 yuan, but do you think I am the only one who gets this money?
Let alone the order from the supply and marketing department, can a warehouse manager like me get it?
Also, I’m not the only one in charge of the warehouse. Do you want to gamble on their business?
Even the porters, I have to give some benefits to them, so if you calculate it all, I may not earn as much as you do."
Zhang Lei is not a fool. He knows that only 30% of what Guo Zhiyun said is true.
Moreover, for a warehouse manager to know the price of his own TV so clearly, it is obvious that this is probably not the first time they have done this. Otherwise, it is impossible for them to know so clearly.
Zhang Lei let out a long sigh and said to Guo Zhiyun.
"Okay, after get off work, I'll go talk to the big boss about this."
At this time, the so-called big boss mentioned by Zhang Lei was at the gate of the automobile factory, chatting happily with other people.
Xu Xianke, who had been active in the south, had heard of the name of the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory.
But the impression of the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory is that it has won various honors.
Until this time, he came to Sijiucheng in person and saw the area of the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory and the crowds of people at the end of the day.
I have already gained a clear understanding of the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory from the colleagues at the door.
"Have you southerners heard of the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory? You come all the way here to buy TVs. Can you still make money shipping them back?
I'm from Tianjin. If you have any connections and can get a TV from the car factory, you can sell it to me. I'm willing to pay 600 yuan more than the market price.
If you don’t want to resell it, you can also consider shipping it from Tianjin and then transporting it to your southern region.”
"Six hundred?"
Hearing this, Xu Xianke's mind immediately became active. He could make two hundred yuan by reselling a TV. This was a good deal.
This old man from Tianjin has realized that the southerner in front of him knows nothing.
Most likely he has some connection with the leader of the car factory, and wants to get some televisions from the factory and sell them in the south.
Seeing that the other party was a little surprised to hear the number six hundred, the old man from Tianjin, intending to please the other party, immediately said.
"You southerners may not know much about the automobile factory. The automobile factory only has two models of color TV sets. One is a 29-inch color TV, which is only exported to earn foreign exchange. Very few of them can flow into the domestic market.
The other is a 26-inch color TV, which is exclusively for the domestic market. Compared with TVs produced by other factories, it is not only larger in size, but also of better quality and clearer in picture.
Even if the price of such a color TV is increased by 600, it is still profitable. After all, now is different from the past, there are many rich people. "
It was not until this time that Xu Xianke realized that he had made a fortune, and he was extremely excited for a moment.
As expected, I traveled thousands of miles to come to the old city alone. With such courage, I deserve to make a lot of money.
Later, people learned that Xu Xianke had connections in the automobile factory, and many people came to say hello to him.
I don’t know whether I can buy a TV from him, but I’d like to make myself familiar with him.
For a while, Xu Xianke received cigarettes from many people, and for a while he was quite popular in front of the automobile factory.
At this time, the workers of the automobile factory began to get off work. After walking out of the gate of the automobile factory, Zhang Lei saw Xu Xianke at a glance.
After learning the details, Xu Xianke became even more enthusiastic about Zhang Lei.
He walked over and said to Zhang Lei with a smile on his face.
"Brother, how is it? When can the goods be pulled out?"
Zhang Lei looked at his colleagues who kept coming out of the factory, and then looked at the group of self-employed people standing behind Xu Xianke, waiting for the results.
Zhang Lei said to Xu Xianke with a gloomy face.
"Let's find a place to talk slowly."
Then, under the leadership of Zhang Lei, the two came to a private room in the workers' restaurant.
Guo Zhiyun's asking price was too high, and he felt that Xu Xianke would most likely not agree to it. In the end, he just got a free meal, which seemed to be a good thing for his trip.
After all the dishes were served and two glasses of wine were drunk, Zhang Lei finally spoke.
“The person in charge of shipping at the factory asked for a high price, six hundred yuan higher than the market price.
And we have to pay for the goods at the same time. If you are willing, come to the factory gate tomorrow and ask the security guard to call me. If you are not willing, forget it. "
At this time, Xu Xianke was a little hesitant. He was an outsider who had just arrived in Sijiu City, but a group of people at the factory gate told him that he could increase the price by 600.
Then Zhang Lei, who had agreed to receive four hundred yuan before, went into the factory once and came out with six hundred yuan.
Xu Xianke was a little hesitant. It seemed like he was being set up.
"Brother, we agreed before that the price would be increased by 400.
I came all the way from the south to Sijiu City with you just for fun.
But the next moment, you told me it was 600. Brother, that’s not how we do business.”
“I can’t help it, the new factory regulations caught me off guard.
There was no other way. I had to spend a lot of money to get in touch with the leader of a powerful department in our automobile factory, and then I found some solution.
I just think that you are more capable and can consume hundreds of color TVs in one go, so I continue to look for you.
If you think the price is too high, forget it, I'll look for someone else."
"No, brother. Please give me one night to think about it. Tomorrow morning, no matter what, I will give you an answer. What do you think?"
Zhang Lei looked at Xu Xianke and saw the delicious food on the table. He thought that if he stayed another day tomorrow, he could get a free meal, so he nodded and agreed.
"Remember, give me a definite answer tomorrow night after I get off work, otherwise you won't get any of this batch of TVs."
After saying that, he picked up the remaining half bottle of Wuliangye on the table, put it in his pocket, and walked out of the box.
