1987: Sleepless Tonight

He picked up the receiver and called Yang Bin.

Yang Bin was very happy when he received a call from Lu Hao, "Brother Hao."

Very affectionately.

"Director Yang, I need to trouble you with something." Lu Hao said.

"Brother Hao, just tell me." Yang Bin said.

He is not afraid that Lu Hao will find him, but he is afraid that Lu Hao will not find him.

The more Lu Hao looked for him and troubled him, the more it meant that Lu Hao let go of the previous feud between the two of them.

"I want to buy a bb player, do you have a way there?" Lu Hao said.

BB machines are expensive, ordinary people cannot afford them, and the output is not high.

The same principle applies to color TVs and automobiles. The high price is mainly due to the production volume.

Although it is expensive, if you want to buy it, you have to rely on some connections and find some connections.

"Brother Hao, do you want to buy a bb machine?" Yang Bin asked.

"Yes." Lu Hao nodded, "I'm busy with business here. Sometimes I'm not in the office, and I don't have a phone by my side. Someone wants to contact me, but I can't find anyone. No one answers the phone. Go to the office to find me. I'm not here, delaying things, if there is a bb machine, at least I can know who is looking for me and who is looking for me, and I can give a response immediately, which can save a lot of trouble."

Jiangcheng shopping mall is the largest shopping mall in Jiangcheng, and it is well-known throughout the country. As the director of the purchasing department of Jiangcheng shopping mall, Yang Bin must be able to get a bb machine.

"Brother Hao should have been equipped with a bb player a long time ago." Yang Bin said, "Jiangcheng Mall recently purchased 30 bb players, and they were delivered here two days ago, and they are locked in my office."

"Brother Hao wants it, I'll leave one for you."

The bb machine is very expensive, and it is not stored in the warehouse like other commodities, but locked in his office.

These purchased bb machines will not be sold to the public, they are all allocated quotas, some are allocated to government agencies, some are allocated to enterprises and institutions, and some quotas are given to other more important personnel, and if there are quotas, they will be given Some well-connected bosses.

The average boss, even if he has money, has no connections and no way out, so he can only buy a bb player when more quotas come out.

Expensive, but in short supply.

This is the same as buying a car decades later. The more ordinary the car, the more popular the car, the quicker you can get it, and you can even drive away on the same day. It may take several months to get a license.

"Is there only one quota?" Lu Hao asked.

Yang Bin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Brother Hao, how many bbs do you want to buy?"

"How many places can you give me here?" Lu Hao asked, "You don't need to give me a cost price, let alone a discount. How much can you sell to others, and how much can you sell to me."

He doesn't want discounts, but wants to buy more bb machines.

Yang Bin immediately thought in his mind, what quotas can be squeezed out, let Lu Hao first, government agencies are definitely not good, large enterprises and institutions with real power are definitely not good, there are two small state-owned units, and there is no big network It doesn't matter, I can squeeze out 2 places for Lu Hao. In addition, there is a private boss who has some money, but it doesn't matter. This time, I will leave the quota for the private boss bb machine to Lu Hao, plus one more quota, which is exactly 4 indivual.

The others can't move anymore, if the others move, they will offend people and they will wear small shoes, but these few move a little, and the quota originally scheduled for this month will be moved to next month, there is no big problem.

After thinking about this clearly and weighing the various pros and cons, Yang Bin said, "Brother Hao, most of these 30 bb machines have been reserved, and there are only 4 places that can be squeezed out."

"Only 4? It's a little less, but let's go as little as possible. I want all of them." Lu Hao said, "Are you in the Jiangcheng shopping mall now? I'll go straight there later and bring you the money."

"Yes, I'm in the office right now, Brother Hao, you can just come to my office." Yang Bin said.

He was very surprised.

According to Lu Hao, 4 bb machines still can't meet the demand!

Four bb machines cost nearly 4 yuan, but Lu Hao didn't even blink his eyes.

Really willing!

After hanging up the phone, Lu Hao took the money and left the office. After locking the door, he drove directly to the Jiangcheng shopping mall and arrived at Yang Bin's office.

Yang Bin had already prepared 4 bb machines and handed them to Lu Hao, "Brother Hao, these 4 bb machines are all Panasonic brand, the quality is good, and they are all new."

Lu Hao nodded, without looking carefully, he directly put the 4 bbs into his pocket, and then gave the money to Yang Bin according to the retail price.

Yang Bin was surprised to see Lu Hao put the bb player into his pocket with a somewhat disgusted expression, and didn't even look at it.

He can't afford a bb machine. If he can have a bb machine, I don't know how rare it is. It's as if he just married a wife. He gets tired of being together every day. Lu Hao hasn't used a bb machine before. This should be the first time he uses it. Why is it so so? dislike?

"Brother Hao, don't you like this brand of bb player? If you like other brands, I can contact someone. You wait a little longer, and when the store has stock, I will send it to you immediately." Yang Bin said.

He thought that Lu Hao did this because he was not optimistic about this brand of bb player.

But this brand of Panasonic is very good.

"This shit costs 2000 yuan a piece. It's really a robbery." Lu Hao said, "It's nothing to look at. I don't have an opinion on the brand, but on the price."

Have an opinion on the price?

Yang Bin looked at Lu Hao puzzled, "Brother Hao, the retail price I just told you is not added at all, it is indeed this price, if you are not satisfied with this price, you can calculate it according to the cost price, I I will return the extra money to you."

He really went to take the money that Lu Hao gave just now, and wanted to give Lu Hao the difference between the cost price and the retail price.

"No, that's not what I meant when I said I have an opinion on the price." Lu Hao waved his hand, "This thing has few functions and no value to preserve value, but the price is ridiculously expensive. The price will definitely drop in a few years. I can buy one."

Can you buy one for a few hundred dollars?

"This thing is very small, even if the price is reduced, it shouldn't be so big." Yang Bin said.

He didn't quite believe it.

In a few years, it has dropped from 2000 yuan to a few hundred yuan?

This is too exaggerated.

"If the price is really reduced so much, I will continue to take it out, buy more, stock it up, and sell it to others." Yang Bin said.

He was thinking of hoarding.

He thought it was because of the price reduction of raw materials or other reasons, which led Lu Hao to make a judgment that the price of BB would be reduced to a few hundred yuan apiece.

"In a few years, you will know that what I said just now is not false at all." Lu Hao said.

Panasonic's bb machine may not be reduced to a few hundred yuan, but what about the counterfeit machine?
