Chapter 207 Hot Sale
Today is Sunday. Leilei, who lives in Meihua Village, the provincial capital, and her best friend decided to go shopping at the bottom of Nonglin Road not far away and buy some small items for the little girl.
"Hey, Leilei, you see this advertisement, isn't it the Walkman you mentioned last time, or the advertisements that were broadcast on TV every day before." When I arrived at Wangfujing Department Store located on Nonglin Lower Road, my best friend suddenly patted Leilei's arm and shouted loudly.
"It's true, my dad said he couldn't find this walkman at the window. He walked in and took a look and bought the night clothes." Lei Lei had originally wanted to come to the department store to buy daily necessities, but now she saw something she liked and became even more interested in shopping.
"Don't run so fast, be careful not to miss..." My best friend was pulled forward by Lei Lei, who was suddenly full of motivation, and staggered a little, and said jokingly.
"Go, I haven't come yet, will you miss it? Let's talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will tear you." The little girl was very quiet in front of others, but she had no scruples in private and could say anything out.
"Is this? Wow, I saw an advertisement here, it's the counter over there." When I walked into Wangfujing, my best friend's eyes were sharp and I saw the instructions on the advertisement. There should be this Walkman on the counter for electronic consumer goods.
When I arrived at the counter of electronic consumer goods, there were many kinds of walkman, such as Aihua, Sony, Panasonic, Pioneer CD, cassette type, and all.
"Sister, is there any of the walkmans on the advertisement?" Lei Lei looked into the counter several times, but did not find the cassette-type walkman with a metal shell, so she asked the salesperson.
"Oh, you said it was on this advertisement?" The salesperson was an aunt who was almost forty years old. When he heard the little girl calling her sister, he must be very happy, so he was happy to answer Leilei's question. She pointed to the calendar sign on the counter, which was the advertisement of Tianxing Walkman.
"Yes, we came in from outside following this advertisement, but we couldn't find it in the counter." Lei Lei replied very well.
"You're late. This Walkman started to be launched last week. Because it was advertised on TV for a long time before, everyone is familiar with it. So as soon as it was launched, many people came to buy it and it was sold out. If you want it, you probably have to wait until the next batch of goods arrives." The salesperson has answered this question countless times in the past two days, and has long been so familiar that it can't be familiar with it. In just a few short sentences, it explained the matter clearly.
"Sister, do you know there is this Walkman elsewhere? We are students, and now it's the end of the semester. We don't have time to go shopping and want to know where to buy it." My best friend also helped Leilei ask the salesperson, because the two girls didn't know where to buy this. Now that they asked, they could buy it directly, which is the most convenient.
"I probably have no goods. As far as I know, there is a point in Xinda Xin, and there is one in Guangbai. I heard that this manufacturer has a direct store on the pedestrian street outside Guangbai. I don't know if there is any, but I guess there is no one either, because many people have asked these days, and there are many people who want to buy it." The salesperson saw that the girl was so sweet, and didn't care about saying a few more words, and told them that there was a direct store at the intersection of West Lake Road.
"Oh, thank you, so I want to ask, how much does this Walkman cost? I'll bring the money next time so I won't be able to travel back and forth a few times." Lei Lei was a little disappointed, but even if she saw it this time, she couldn't buy it. Because she didn't have enough money, she had to go home to find her father.
"The 699 is much cheaper than Sony's. If you have a cassette, you can use this Walkman again. It is smaller than a CD player and convenient to carry. Otherwise, you can leave your home phone number and I will notify you to come and buy it when the goods arrive?" The salesperson saw that the girl really wanted to buy it, so he said a few more words, because the counter looked like it was operated by Wangfujing, but in fact it was contracted out, and the salesperson would receive a commission for every item sold.
The commission for this Tianxing Walkman is particularly high. It costs ten yuan to sell one. This time the boss got two hundred units back. With the same promotion of advertising and salesperson promotion, it was sold out in less than a week. The commission for salespersons is also a great driving force.
You should know that this year, a pound of pork costs only 6 yuan, lean meat costs only 8 to 10 yuan, beef costs twenty yuan, and if you only need one yuan to get a monthly card by bus, it only costs 45 yuan per month. In the era, these 200 Walkmans only receive a commission of 2,000, which is enough to earn as much as a monthly salary.
"Oh, this is quite expensive, the domestic one next to it is only less than 400." My best friend pulled Lalelei's hand, pointed to the domestic cassette-style walkman inside the counter, and said in a low voice.
Of course, the salesperson, the salesperson, saw this little move, so he immediately began to explain: "You can't compare this with the domestic ones. The domestic ones are not as good as the all-metal shell alone. In addition to the CD-type Walkman, this type of aluminum-magnesium alloy shell machine has only one cassette type from Tianxing and Sony. Sony's sold for more than 2,000 yuan. How much is this Tianxing? One fifth, think about how much is it cheaper?"
"It's not also domestic, right?" My best friend originally thought it was expensive, but after speaking to the salesperson, he thought it was too cheap, and he doubted the origin of Tianxing.
"The origin is domestic, and it is absolutely impossible to sell it so cheap without relying on the low labor costs of our country. However, this product is sold for the US imperial examination, and the technology inside is also US imperial examination technology. Otherwise, you think any factory can have a metal shell." Whether Lei Lei and her best friend ask, the explanations will be the same, because these are the unified caliber produced by Su Jingzhen, and this is not a false propaganda. After all, the Walkman technology is indeed authorized by foreign companies.
"Okay, let's go to the other side of Beijing Road to see if you can buy it, thank you sister." Lei Lei pulled her best friend's hand. Since there was no goods here, there was no need to stay anymore. She quickly bought the night clothes and left. It didn't take long to let the news today.
"Hey, little girl, don't you leave a phone number?" The salesperson didn't want the ten yuan to slip away from his eyes, so he quickly reminded Leilei whether to leave a phone number.
"I'd better not want it. If I want to buy it, I'd better come back to find my sister." Leilei's family had been educated for a long time and could not give her phone number casually to others, so as not to get into trouble.
The salesperson could not go to the post, and the two girls were young again. In a blink of an eye, they ran away and disappeared. The salesperson looked regretful on his face. Those who didn't know would think that the pork she bought today had fallen to the ground and got dirty.
