Chapter 49 Partnership in business(2/2)
I remember reading an official novel before, and there was a sentence in it that said, "Some people, if you treat them as a human being, they will treat you as a bird; if you treat them as a bird, they will treat you as a human being."
This really makes sense.
The benefits of recycling used electrical appliances are very obvious. Today I repaired two radios and a tape recorder for someone. It didn’t cost an extra penny to replace the components. They were all removed from the old machines. Twelve yuan is almost a pure profit. If you want to buy it,
The cost of replacing new components is almost six yuan.
Liu Jun dismantled all the old electrical appliances, cleaned them, tested them, replaced the casing of one of the radios, and replaced a few components. The thing started broadcasting news like a new machine.
Fang Wenti was surprised and delighted: "This, this is as good as new."
Liu Jun smiled and said: "It looks like new, but it's still second-hand inside, so you can take it out at half price."
Fang Wenti beamed: "Half price is too cheap, at least it's 40% off."
"That's up to you. Anyway, the price negotiation is your responsibility. By the way, the brand selling second-hand electrical appliances must be put up, otherwise people won't know about it. We don't have many acquaintances and friends in this area, and it's too slow to rely on person-to-person communication."
"It makes sense, Xiaojun, why are everything you said so reasonable?"
While Fang Wenti was overjoyed, he did not forget to take a photo of Liu Jun.
"Go to hell and stop flattering me. This cassette player looks good, but it's rusty inside. I need to spend some time to fix it. Once it's repaired, I can sell it for a good price."
Liu Jun was talking about a Zhujiang brand monophonic cassette recorder produced by Guangzhou Shuguang Radio Factory. This was a very good home appliance at the time. A brand-new one seemed to cost three to four hundred yuan. The new model was produced just this year.
It was probably a fashionable item purchased by a cadre's family when they got married. I don't know how it got rusty like this in just a few months. Maybe there was too much humidity in the room.
Radio cassette players have only emerged in the past year or two. They are absolutely new in a small inland county like Xiangyang County, and most families cannot afford to buy one. There are only three repair shops in the entire old street, and none of them specializes in repairing radio cassette players. I guess.
When I opened the casing and took a look, I immediately sent it back. At that time, the service quality from both the manufacturer and the merchant was very poor, and there seemed to be no warranty period.
Fang Wenti exclaimed: "Can this be fixed? That would be a huge profit."
"I'm not sure whether it will work. Let's try it first."
Not long after lunch, someone came to ask about the selling price of the second-hand radio. Fang Wenti was so shady that he actually offered him a 30% discount. Before the other party counter-offered, I was already blushing and embarrassed.
The two parties bargained, and Fang Wenti insisted on a 60% discount and refused to let go.
"This radio of yours is a second-hand item. It's an old thing. I don't know how long it will last if I buy it back. It's so expensive. Forget it, I don't want it anymore."
Seeing that Fang Wenti was stubborn to the end, the other party was also a little unhappy.
Liu Jun hurriedly interrupted: "We guarantee this radio."
"Warranty? What do you mean?"
sweat!
I didn’t even understand what the warranty meant. At that time, no one really cared about the rights of consumers.
"The warranty is within three months. If something goes wrong, as long as it is not man-made damage, we will repair it for free."
"Is there such a good thing?"
"Of course, what we sell must be done responsibly."
Seeing Liu Jun's certainty, Fang Wenti immediately started to brag.
"really?"
Liu Jun said: "We will write you a receipt and note the warranty matters."
"Okay, I'll take it."
Fang Wenti was so happy that he hurriedly looked for the receipt, but he forgot to buy it. As a last resort, he had to find a piece of paper to replace it. Fortunately, the people at the time were honest. After seeing the "receipt" that was neither a donkey nor a horse, they had no objection and returned it.
His face was filled with joy and he felt like he had gotten a bargain.
"When you get rich, you get the cost back in one day, and the rest is all for nothing."
As soon as they left, Fang Wenti seemed to be so happy that he started dancing in the room with his brand-new banknotes.
"Keep your voice down and you'll know what to say!"
