Chapter 58 Personal wealth 4.05 million yuan
Chapter 58 Personal wealth 405,000 yuan
November 25, Saturday.
The weather was nice and sunny, and Fang Bai went to T-market for the fourth time to purchase second-hand TVs.
The TV in the rental house will be repaired in three or four days. He will have his monthly exam in a few days, so he has to go shopping in advance.
This time, the veteran driver Zhang Guoping, who had worked with him three times, was no longer in T city, and the state-owned fleet arranged another driver for him.
Fang Bai thought it didn't matter, so he followed the previous routine to find a porter and came to Yaming Electronics Recycling Company.
After many purchases, he also became familiar with Chen Ming, the business manager of Yaming Company, but the other party was not of high enough quality to count as a personal connection.
The other party was not a personal connection, but he could still find connections with higher-ups. Fang Bai didn't want to miss this opportunity. It was too difficult to gain personal connections.
Moreover, if the senior management of Yaming Company was able to obtain first-hand electronic waste, he must have a deep background and connections that he did not know about.
Even if he doesn't have a golden finger, Fang Bai still wants to accumulate more contacts, which he might be able to use in the future.
A network is just a network of relationships. This cannot help. Maybe friends of friends can help.
After selecting the TV, weighing and moving time, and paying the price of 22,530 yuan, Fang Bai found the sales manager Chen Ming:
"Manager Chen, I admire the senior management of your company very much. Can you introduce them to them? I would like to get to know them."
The other party was silent for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Mr. Fang is a big customer of our company. This is not a problem. Our general manager, Mr. Luo, happens to be here. He is in charge of our company."
"Okay, thank you for the introduction."
"Mr. Fang is welcome."
Fang Bai walked behind Manager Chen. The two crossed an electronic field and came to a three-story office building. They walked up to the second floor, the largest office in the middle.
Chen Ming knocked on the door twice, and the room echoed "Come in!" before he pushed the door open and went in.
Fang Bai then took a look at the situation in the room.
The office layout is somewhat similar to Wang Hengli’s.
In the room, a middle-aged man with a square face, about fifty years old, was sitting on the solid wood sofa in front of the tea table, drinking tea and reading a newspaper. He looked up and saw that it was Chen Ming who had brought someone in, and asked calmly: " Manager Chen, what’s the matter?”
After Chen Ming approached Luo Hai, he said respectfully:
"Hello, Mr. Luo, Mr. Fang is a big customer of our company. His monthly purchasing volume is tens of thousands of yuan. He wants to come over and meet you."
Luo Hai, who was sitting on the sofa, was slightly surprised. He thought that the person he brought in was just an ordinary young man, but he didn't expect that he was a customer of their company, and the transaction volume was not small.
Since he is a customer, he is the God of Wealth. He stood up politely, motioned for Fang Bai to sit down, and said with a smile:
"Oh, Mr. Fang is young and promising!"
"Thank you. I admire Mr. Luo very much, so I'd like to get to know you, if you'd like to bother me." Fang Bai smiled and stretched out his left hand to shake hands with him.
The other party was startled for a moment, then changed his left hand.
After shaking hands, Fang Bai handed over his business card and then sat down.
"Haha, you're welcome. Where is Mr. Fang from?"
"From Wencheng."
"Oh, then we can be considered half fellow villagers. My ancestors are also from Wencheng."
Fang Bai smiled. If I hadn't been able to detect your information, I wouldn't have believed it.
However, it didn't matter, he got the information he wanted.
After being polite for a while, Fang Bai left Mr. Luo's office. He had to rush back to Wencheng.
Returning to the venue, I found that the number of connections increased by one.
Sure enough, such a network is still useful!
The background of the other party's acquisition of foreign garbage is a bit complicated. There is also a big boss above Luo Hai who rarely comes forward. This is the only information Fang Bai can find.
The levels are different. Fang Bai doesn't intend to contact these people who he can't mess with for the time being, and his methods are a bit shady, so he doesn't want to socialize.
At around four o'clock that afternoon, Fang Bai returned to Wencheng.
While the part-time worker was moving the TV, the bosses around him were also curious about Fang Bai's workshop.
On the street where Fang Bai rents a house, the owner of his neighbor to the east is a small OEM shop that makes insoles. The business is good, and the annual income is estimated to be tens of thousands. He has been doing it for three or four years.
The neighbor's house to the west is not rented out. The landlord lives in it and opens a store in the city.
The landlord's family in the building to the west produces zippers, and their business is also good.
This street is part of the town's unified planning land. After the landlord buys the land, he obtains a land title certificate and builds a building with his own property rights.
Those who can afford to buy land and build buildings on this street have some capital, and most of them are doing small businesses.
For such a long time, the bosses around him probably knew that Fang Bai was engaged in refurbished second-hand TVs, but they didn't know where to buy them from and what the price was.
They ship cheaply, not to mention deceiving consumers.
Everyone makes money in a low-key manner, and there are always some shameful things that they will talk about in private, but they will rarely expose your things publicly unless there is a competitive relationship or a conflict.
They usually talk to each other, saying something like, "Boss Fang, your TVs are sold out again, business is so good."
"Oh, it's not as good as your zipper maker. They are already exporting to make extra money."
"Where, where, zippers don't make money, why not produce insoles like Lao Liu."
In short, they will not tell their secrets of making money.
Like Fang Bai's TV, even if they know where to buy it, they don't know how to repair it. But when people see that Fang Bai can do anything, they have to admire him.
After dinner, Fang Bai and his parents settled the third batch of TV revenue and expenses.
The third batch of TV sets, about 500 units, has been sold out three times, and there is another one.
When the family was halfway through gathering, the power suddenly went out.
"My mother, there have been power outages recently, it's true." Liu Fengqing complained, groping in the dark to find a flashlight first, then turning on the light and then looking for a candle.
After a while, he found the candle, and his father struck a match, lit it, and placed the candle on the table, providing a faint light.
Power outages are common these days, so every household always has candles.
Fortunately it's not summer, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep without a fan blowing at night.
Fang Bai still remembers that when he was a child, when he went to bed at night in summer, his parents used cattail fans to fan him until he fell asleep.
Nowadays, there are still many families who do not have electric fans and cannot afford them.
Looking at the pile of money on the cardboard again, Fang Bai felt so happy.
It seems that happiness comes from contrast.
I'm not as miserable as you, so I'm relatively happy.
I make less than you, so I'm miserable.
Alas, such values are unacceptable.
Under the dim light, Fang Bai and his parents continued to calculate the TV revenue and expenses.
With complicated emotions, Fang Bai took a pen and paper and began to sort out the data, listing the purchase cost of each batch of TVs and other related expenses.
Ten minutes later, the settlement was completed.
The total revenue for the three times was about 145,000 yuan!
Fang Bai's personal wealth has also reached 405,000 yuan!
Less than two months.
