Chapter 665： Distributors are in short supply

Chapter 665 Dealer places are in short supply

"Young man, what a blessing. It's not easy for a woman to study, and it's even more difficult to be admitted to a university."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man sighed again: "Studying in a university in the capital costs a lot, so you have a heavy burden, right?"

"Fortunately, I have run a small business with my elder brother, and it is not a big problem to support our family."

The two chatted one sentence at a time, and they got to know each other easily.

The middle-aged man, surnamed Jin, is a native of Shanghai. He is 45 years old this year. He used to resell electronic watches. Now he is aiming at the new industry of pagers and wants to try his luck.

Jin Zhigang pointed to the surroundings, "Did you see these people? They all came from all over the country. They want to be the first to eat crabs just like you and me."

Ling Chuan was sitting in front of the building of the Shanghai branch of Motorola.

In front of the building, there are many flower beds and benches for pedestrians to rest. At this time, the flower beds and benches are full of people, and there are even people sitting on the curbs on both sides.

Ling Chuan was one of the people sitting on the curb.

Ling Chuan didn't know who these people were at first, and thought they were just sitting and resting, but he didn't expect that they all came here for the quota of dealers.

"Uncle Jin, is it difficult to obtain Motorola dealership qualifications?"

"There are only two quotas per month, what do you think?"

Ling Chuan looked at the people around him, there were at least two hundred people, that is to say, one in a million.

At this time, he finally realized that Wanbai was really capable of getting the dealership in Jiang City.

"Pagers are not like electronic watches. There are many factories in China for electronic watches, and you can get the supply through various channels. This pager is high-tech, and our country can't produce it at all. It depends on imports. The supply is very tight. If If you have no connections, even if you bring money to people, they won't talk to you."

Originally on this trip, Ling Chuan was full of confidence, but after realizing that dealerships were so scarce, he inevitably felt a little heavy in his heart.

"Uncle Jin, there are so few places, so wouldn't it be a waste of time for everyone to wait here?"

"Most of them are waiting here to try their luck. If some people can't eat by themselves, they can come and find someone to work with them."

Speaking of this, Jin Zhigang suddenly became mysterious, and said in a low voice: "When you are lucky, if you meet someone who sells parallel imports, you can make a profit of several hundred yuan."

"Parallel imports?"

"Tsk, it's the goods that come in through informal channels. Do you think why this pager is so expensive? It's because the tariffs are high. Parallel imports don't go through customs, do you understand?"

Ling Chuan nodded quickly, "Then, can the quality of this parallel import be guaranteed?"

"Why not, they are all produced by the original Motorola factory, but they are sourced from other regions. Do you know how much this pager sells abroad?"

"do not know."

"The price is at least half cheaper. Some people make millions a month in this line of work."

Ling Chuan was startled, "Aren't they afraid of being caught?"

"You don't understand this. They are not like us. They do it alone. They have spent a lot of money to arrange contacts and connections."

Seeing that Ling Chuan didn't speak, Jin Zhigang continued to say: "Young man, I see that you are a real person, and I won't hide it from you. I bought 50 parallel imports last month, and I made a net profit of 300 by reselling one. It's a full month's worth of money. Fifteen thousand, this is much better than an inverted electronic watch."

"Aren't you afraid of being found out by the police?"

"What the police want to investigate are major and special cases, and there are tens of millions of cases at every turn. People don't bother to care about your petty profits."

"Oh."

Jin Zhigang took out a business card and handed it to Ling Chuan, "Young man, it is fate to meet each other. Let's exchange contact information. We can communicate with each other if there is any situation. This is my pager number, and you can also give me your pager number. "

Ling Chuan shook his head, "I don't have a pager."

Jin Zhigang was a little unbelievable, "Didn't you buy one beforehand if you wanted to do this?"

Ling Chuan smiled embarrassedly, "I only learned about the pager industry a few days ago."

"That's it, then you have to buy one for yourself first, and it's convenient for you to contact me at ordinary times."

"Well, I plan to go to the specialty store tomorrow."

Jin Zhigang immediately said: "Don't wait for tomorrow, I'll take you to an acquaintance to buy it. Based on my relationship, it's no problem to give you a 10% discount."

A pager costs more than one thousand yuan, and a 10% discount can save more than one hundred yuan. Ling Chuan couldn't help being tempted.

But he has been vigilant in his heart, but his wife said that it is better not to have a reason.

It was also a coincidence that the specialty store that Jin Zhigang took Ling Chuan to was inspected by Ling Chuan before, and it was confirmed that it was a regular specialty store and not a black shop, so Ling Chuan followed Jin Zhigang into the door with confidence.

Judging from the attitude and conversation between Jin Zhigang and the store owner, the two are really familiar with each other.

Finally, for Jin Zhigang’s sake, the boss gave Ling Chuan a 20% discount.

Saved nearly 200 yuan, Ling Chuan planned to treat Jin Zhigang to dinner to express his gratitude.

Ling Chuan chose the restaurant of the hotel where he was staying, and Shao Lin gave him an internal VIP card, which gave him a 50% discount on all consumption in the hotel.

The two ordered four dishes and ordered a few bottles of beer, which was discounted to about 80.

Jin Zhigang was obviously very satisfied with the meal, his face flushed after eating, and his address for Ling Chuan also changed.

"Brother Ling, I really can't see that you can have such a strong strength at such a young age. Although I have a small fortune now, when I was your age, I couldn't even afford food. Alas, the younger generation is awesome, Ling Brother, I am very optimistic about you, you will definitely be worth a million within two years."

Ling Chuan waved his hand shyly, "Uncle Jin, you are too famous. I only earned a little by luck, so I can't compare with you."

"Okay, brother Ling, let's not come here for those polite things, we hit it off, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Jin. I have no other skills, but I still have a good eye for people.

Brother Ling, you are a person worthy of deep friendship, and I will also let you know. A batch of parallel imports may come in in a few days. It's in vain for you to come all the way here. "

"I only told you about this because of your honesty. Don't tell the third person. If you leak the news, none of us will get anything."

Ling Chuan nodded quickly, "Brother Jin, don't worry, I don't know anyone else here except you."

Jin Zhigang patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "It's okay, I'm not here. I'll take you to meet some friends tomorrow. They are all very powerful experts in this industry. They entered the industry earlier than you and me, and have already earned a lot of money." It's full."

Ling Chuan declined politely: "Brother Jin, thank you for your kindness. Let's wait two days. I came to the Shanghai Stock Exchange this time mainly to get dealers. I don't have the mind to do other things if I can't get this done."

Jin Zhigang didn't force it, "It's easy to say, then you should take care of your own affairs for the next two days, and I will contact you when I have good news in two days."

"it is good."
