Return To 1977 Chapter 698: Not greedy
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, this is a very good deal.
More than 24,100 fur collars were purchased for 6,000 yuan, and the average cost was only 250 cents a piece.
According to everyone's estimation, this thing can be sold for only two and a half yuan.
Isn’t that the same as walking on the ground and picking up a box full of banknotes out of thin air?
So regardless of the constant search for a truck, it is not an easy task to carry this batch of goods back to the warehouse on "Jingcheng Road" and move them up and down.
But no one complained at all during the whole process. Instead, everyone was in high spirits and worked extremely hard.
After the matter was over, "Ciermei" even congratulated Hong Yan on martial arts.
"Xiao Wu, I just rented a house and the goods came, so there is no one as suitable as you. What do you think I'm saying? With your brain, it's unreasonable not to get rich."
Hong Yanwu laughed.
"Hey, this is just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. You're welcome, we have a role to play when we meet, and you have the final say on how many packs you want."
How can "Ciermei" be embarrassed to accept it?
"Farewell, whoever belongs to whom belongs. You have taken care of me enough, but I can't take advantage of you."
“If nothing else, today’s incident made me witness with my own eyes what it means to ‘die when the goods reach the ground.’ It’s really scary.
"Just because you gave me this knowledge, and because of your special reminder, I should pay your tuition, and I must always remember your kindness."
"Xiao Wu, you know so much, you can say that you have left out everything. No wonder you can spread such a big situation and succeed in whatever you do."
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but smile again.
"Sister, if you continue to praise me, I will blush."
"Actually, the truth is very simple. Anyone can figure it out. My reminder is just a small effort that should be done."
"Whether you get a good outcome in the end is ultimately up to you. So don't thank me."
His modesty has no effect at all, "Cier Mei" can tell the difference between good and evil.
"That's what you said, but if you hadn't pointed it out specifically and made it concise and easy to understand, would I have been enlightened?"
"I'm afraid without your guidance, I might not be able to understand it even if I have suffered a loss myself. We know it, and we have to thank you."
While the two of them were being polite, Hong Yanwu's men came over to join in the fun, holding cigarettes in their mouths.
These boys were not only curious about how Hong Yanwu knew that there was something wrong with the brothers' goods.
Everyone said, "Thanks to Mr. Hong for being wise, otherwise we would have let these two wimps fool us, and that person would be in great disgrace."
This compliment, combined with an expression of half shock and half admiration on his face, made Hong Yanwu's limbs feel comfortable.
As soon as he got interested, he took the opportunity to teach them another lesson.
"How did I see it? I didn't see it at all. But I know that there are not many honest people in business nowadays."
"Who are the people doing business today? If there is no other way to go than us, then they are restless people. Can restless people be stupid? If they are really stupid, they will settle down."
"Besides, the business here is all about 'short-term and fast'. Every day merchants come and go, mainly to get an advantage. Come back next time, who will know who? Then you can't just be confused, you have to lie. Just cheating? It’s like selling movie tickets.”
"So, many people here are scheming. They are all thousand-year-old foxes. What is going on in "Liao Zhai" that some of you still don't understand? Can we not be careful?"
At this point, this metaphor made everyone involuntarily happy.
Hong Yanwu himself remained calm and continued to talk.
“The secret I summarized is actually two words, ‘Don’t be greedy.’”
"Being not greedy does not mean deliberately avoiding money, and not accepting money when it comes to you. It means that you cannot take advantage of all the advantages in the world, and don't worry about good things always coming to you. If you have money, everyone earns it and leaves it for others. Leave some room for yourself, so that you can keep going smoothly and rely on everyone to work together to withstand the risks that may be encountered in the transaction. ”
"This is the same both internally and externally. Just like buying movie tickets, you can buy fake ones if they are cheap. Right? Isn't there a lot of people posting tickets at the entrance of movie theaters now? When it comes to business, you will die. If you worry about the price, the negotiation will probably fall apart. In fact, even if you are doing well, you can't give up everything just to make money, regardless of the risk."
"Take the two brothers we met today as an example. Are they stupid? Think about it, in these days, two farmers can make a profit by producing a fur collar for a few cents a piece. With a net worth of tens of thousands, is this something ordinary people can achieve? At least they are better than us in terms of hard work and careful budgeting."
"The reason for their failure, in my opinion, is the word 'greed'. If they didn't care too much about the gains and losses in profits, would they have kept all the goods in their hands? If they hadn't invested everything later, All the goods were shipped to Huacheng at once, but they couldn't move forward or retreat. If they hadn't been too greedy and wanted to cheat people, they could have taken 10,000 yuan from me."
When it came to this, everyone nodded, thinking that this was indeed the truth.
Especially "Cier Mei" immediately agreed with a look of surprise.
"That's right. Through this incident, I figured out that when doing business, you really can't just care about the smoothness. If you are greedy, you have to act within your ability and leave some backup. Otherwise, no matter how fast you make money, you can still make money. If anything happens, you will lose everything and die quickly."
Afterwards, her eyes even lit up and she expressed her feelings.
"As soon as I talked about this, I discovered that the key here is not to squeeze money. Running out of cash when doing business is like running out of ammunition in a war. Sometimes the goods are not in the right place, and you have to be willing to stab yourself. You can use money to replace the meat you cut off, otherwise you will be dumbfounded and the money will continue to be lost, and the opportunity to make money will be gone, right?”
This time, not to mention everyone cheering in unison, Hong Yanwu gave her a thumbs up.
This is so beautiful for "Cerion Plum".
It wasn't until she joked with everyone for a while that she returned to the topic.
“Actually, what I mean by ‘greed’ includes many things, not just money.”
Hong Yanwu successfully attracted everyone's attention with one sentence, and then began to analyze in an orderly manner.
"For example, coveting to save worry is also included in the word 'greed'. If we are lazy and don't investigate the market first when we come here, how do you know that the price quoted by others is really unrealistic?"
"Even if we find a good buyer this time, we will always have to shop around from now on, and we can't always give our business to one person. Otherwise, if someone gives you a cheaper price at first, you will gradually feel that you are looking for him anyway. It won’t be cheaper anymore.”
"In addition, if we don't observe the market ourselves, we can easily be misled by others. If I have low-priced goods that are difficult to sell, I will hire a few people to act and compete to buy them first. Do you think those who come from other places to purchase goods will do so? Will you be fooled? ”
"Also, when buying things, we have to avoid checking the goods according to the quantity and take them away after giving the money. Then it is inevitable to encounter shortages, fakes, and substandard goods. Even subcontracting is possible. It happened, just like what these two brothers did."
"In short, the business world is like a war. Everyone is thinking and scheming against each other. There are so many dirty tricks that it is difficult for people to guard against. We can only stick to the word 'not greedy' and do what we should do. Only by doing what you can do and making the most sure money can you develop steadily. ”
