Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

In the small compartment, the elder brother swallowed his saliva.

The small room was full of discs. Just looking at the cover made the elder brother feel dry in the mouth.

"Brother, this is not a lie, right?"

The elder brother asked in a low voice.

"Boss, how can it be a lie? You choose one, I'll play it for you..."

The boss whispered, and the elder brother swallowed his saliva, looked at it and directly chose a foreign film. Looking at the foreign girl wearing black silk on the cover, the elder brother felt hot all over. The foreign girl was really beautiful.

"Boss, you have a good eye. This is from Europe and America. It seems to be a woodpecker. There are very few products..."

The boss took the disc directly and turned on the TV and DVD player in the small compartment. Although the DVD player has just been sold, these audio-visual stores quietly supported by the top ten brands have already received the product.

The elder brother stared at the TV and watched the boss's operation. He felt that this DVD player was very magical.

The boss put the disc in, fast-forwarded it, and turned the volume down to the minimum. Soon, a beautiful sound came out of the small compartment.

The elder brother widened his eyes, wishing that he could get into the TV.

The boss looked at the elder brother and laughed. Men, those who understand, understand. In this era, without the baptism of small movies during the Internet explosion, the temptation of this kind of movie is very strong.

"Boss, how is it? Did I lie to you?"

After watching for a few minutes, the boss turned off the TV and took out the disc and put it away.

"How do you sell such a movie?"

The elder brother asked directly.

"Boss, this kind of thing is more expensive, mainly because there is less stock. Five yuan per piece. If you buy ten at a time, I will give you another one..."

The boss said directly, with expectation in his eyes.

"Okay, give me ten, no, twenty, can I get one more for twenty?"

The elder brother asked directly.

"Okay, no problem. I think you are a straightforward person. So, for 100 yuan, I will give you 25 discs, which is 4 yuan per disc. But you can't say you bought them from me when you go out."

The boss whispered.

"Don't worry, I understand..."

The brother smiled and started to choose discs directly. The boss also gave him reference and asked what type he liked.

Although there are many discs and the covers are similar, the content and style are different. Some are just fake, and the scale is not so big, but some are real.

During this period, the boss has watched these discs a lot, so he is very familiar with them.

After a while, the brother came out of the small compartment with a black bag in his hand.

The brother went out with the bag, and the boss looked at the 100 yuan in his hand, and his face was so happy.

Huge profits, this thing is really huge profits.

The purchase price of the discs outside is 30 cents per disc.

The discs in the small compartment are a little more expensive, but only 50 cents.

Selling 25 discs to the big brother only cost 12.5 yuan, but he sold them for 100 yuan. This is several times the profit. Even if there is only one business in a day, it is crazy.

Think about working in a factory before, working so hard and earning only 300 or 400 yuan a month. Now I open a video store and earn more than 80 yuan per order. If there is one order a day, I can make 2,000 to 3,000 yuan a month. If the business is good, it is not a dream to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

The boss sat there, grinning, looking forward to his business booming. In this era, the bold will be fed to death and the timid will starve to death. As long as you are brave enough and add some connections and opportunities, you will be rich.

After the big brother left the video store, he went directly to the Changhong store.

"Girl, give me that DVD player..."

The elder brother said loudly without even bargaining. At this moment, he couldn't wait to go home and see the treasure he bought.

"Okay, boss..."

The waiter smiled and quickly brought a new DVD player to the elder brother.

The waiter could get a commission of ten yuan for selling a DVD player, which was a lot of money.

Carrying the newly bought DVD player, the elder brother drove away directly.

"Boss Zhao is back, what did you buy?"

In a community in Shanghai, a middle-aged man couldn't help but asked with a smile when he saw what the elder brother was carrying.

"Lao Wang, let's go, I'll show you something good..."

The elder brother whispered, and Lao Wang looked curious.

"Oh, let's go, you'll know in a while..."

The elder brother took Lao Wang back to his home directly. There was no one at the elder brother's home, his wife went to work, and the children went to school.

The elder brother turned on the DVD player directly, installed it according to the instructions, and then turned on the TV.

"Lao Wang, draw the curtains..."

The elder brother's words made Lao WangI was very curious about what it was. It was so mysterious.

After closing the curtains, my brother opened it and took out the discs. He picked one and put it into the DVD player.

"Lao Zhao, what is this?"

Looking at these discs, Lao Wang widened his eyes.

"Hey, this is called VCD. This thing can be used to watch movies at home. Look, it's a good thing..."

In the room, the two men started watching the movie in a mysterious way. When the movie started playing, they seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

Two hours later, Lao Wang left his brother's house and went directly to Changhong's store.

This good thing must be bought.

Such scenes are happening in many places across the country. The top ten brands of VCD players are officially on sale.

As soon as they appeared, they attracted many people to watch and buy. The store owners were very happy, and the owners of the audio-visual stores were even happier.

"Mr. Ni, the data of the VCD player yesterday came out..."

In the office of Ni Feng in Changhong Factory, an assistant walked in early in the morning.

"How many have you sold?"

Ni Feng asked quickly.

"Yesterday, we sold a total of 1,872 sets..."

Ni Feng laughed at the assistant's words.

OK, 1,872 sets were sold in one day, which is a perfect start. And Ni Feng knows that with the spread of word of mouth and trends, the sales volume will increase a lot in the future, after all, the market is blank and the supply is in short supply.

As for the profit, a VCD player can bring 2,000 yuan profit to Changhong Factory. This is too much profit.

In comparison, the profit of a TV set of Changhong Factory is only 200 to 300 yuan, and with the increasingly fierce market competition, this profit is even decreasing.

Compared with TV sets, VCD players are simply robbing money.

Selling 10,000 sets means a profit of 20 million yuan, and selling 100,000 sets means a profit of 200 million yuan. If it is the same as its own TV, selling 1 million sets a year, then it will be a profit of 2 billion yuan.

Thinking of this profit, Ni Feng swallowed his saliva.

"Go and urge the goods, let the purchasing department wait at Huasheng, there are too few goods, not enough to sell..."

Ni Feng said directly, there are too few goods, now there are only more than 10,000 units in stock, and they must be sold out in the next few days, how can this be possible. How can you make money without goods, you have to rush to grab the goods. Now even if one adds a few hundred yuan, Ni Feng is willing to buy it.

Changhong Factory is like this, and the other top ten brands are similar. Although they don’t sell as much as Changhong Factory, they are still hot sellers.

On this day, VCD video discs were officially launched and sold.

Some rich people were the first to experience the charm of this machine. And after these rich people bought it, many people would show off.

Most of the rich people’s circle is rich.

For these people, seeing their friends buy this thing, they have to buy it too, even if it is expensive, this is face, this is fashion.

Especially after some people watched the movie with the curtains drawn, they looked at the video player one by one as if they had discovered a treasure! Under this effect, DVD players became popular all over the country.
