Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

With Shenlong TVs selling so well right now, it's definitely a sure thing that they'll make a profit.

Most of those who came to the television factory to discuss cooperation were from Beijing.

On this day, Liu Aiguo was drinking tea in the logistics department when Xu Damao, Uncle Yi, Uncle San, and others came to visit.

347 At first, Liu Aiguo thought they were asking him to plead for Jia Zhangshi's release.

The result is not!

As soon as these people arrived, they started grumbling about the Jia family, saying that Jia Zhangshi deserved it, and they just kept sucking up to Liu Aiguo.

"Alright, alright..." Liu Aiguo interrupted Third Uncle's flattery with a dark face, saying, "If you have something to say, just say it, everyone. Don't talk to me about the Jia family here!"

"Forehead……"

The three of them looked slightly embarrassed.

However, in the end, Xu Damao still said he was willing.

He chuckled and leaned closer to Liu Aiguo with his long face: "Brother Aiguo..."

"Stop!" Liu Aiguo gestured for me to stop and said, "You haven't called me 'brother' in thirteen years. This sudden enthusiasm is a bit much for me!"

amount……

Xu Damao's awkward move.

However, what Liu Aiguo said is also true.

At first, Xu Damao was somewhat afraid of Liu Aiguo and always addressed him as "Brother Aiguo." However, after marrying Lou Xiao'e, he felt his status had risen and stopped calling Liu Aiguo "Brother Aiguo" as much.

After Lou Xiao'e's family left, Xu Damao did not call them "brother" again.

In recent years, after the reform and opening up, when people no longer respected Liu Aiguo, Xu Damao despised him to the extreme.

It's truly embarrassing that calling someone "brother" has been exposed.

"Cough cough cough..." Grandpa Yi coughed a few times, took a deep breath, and said, "Patriotism... It's like this... We saw that your TV factory is doing this TV franchise business, and we want to become franchisees too!"

"what?"

This surprised Liu Aiguo slightly: "You want to join us and sell televisions?"

Do you have people? Do you have a storefront? Do you have capital?

Liu Aiguo posed three questions.

Uncle San chuckled and said, "This person is fine, we can recruit him... We've already found a shop, as long as you agree, we can sign the contract for the shop!"

"We still have funds!" Xu Damao said with a smile, "We just didn't have enough money... The three of us split the investment and took 20,000 yuan. See, that should be enough for start-up capital!"

Liu Aiguo nodded.

That's really enough.

The price for a television set from Liu Aiguo was 280 yuan.

The selling price is three hundred yuan.

The gross profit of a television set is about twenty yuan.

If you can sell ten units a day, you can make a gross profit of over two hundred. Who wouldn't be tempted by that?

Of course, gross profit is gross profit. After deducting rent and transportation costs, the profit per unit is about fifteen.

But it was still very profitable.

Twenty thousand yuan, and you can buy fifty or sixty units at a time. It's a bit small, but it's still enough to make a profit.

Considering that the TV factory had just opened and needed to establish a strong sales channel, Liu Aiguo didn't waste any words and nodded in agreement: "Okay... (cjbf) I'll give you one spot... However, there are a few things we need to clarify with you!"

"The first thing is... our minimum order quantity is one hundred units, but don't worry, if you're really having trouble, I can give you fifty units!"

"Secondly, we need to find a shop and renovate it right now. Let me show you a picture..."

As they were talking, Liu Aiguo took out a map.

A map of the old city of Beijing.

Liu Aiguo has already planned this out, with a specialty store spaced at regular intervals.

There are a total of 21 specialty stores throughout Beijing.

If there are any more, the specialty stores won't make any money, and it would be a waste.

"I've planned 21 TV franchise stores for the entire city!" Liu Aiguo said, pointing to the map. "I've divided them into 21 areas. Check which area your store is in, and I'll reserve one for you!"

"it is good!"

Several people watched for a while.

Third Uncle said, "It's in the northwest corner, here, in District Thirteen!"

"Row!"

Liu Aiguo said, "Then I will no longer recruit any other franchisees in my thirteenth district!"

"Good good..."

The three people expressed their deepest gratitude.

Liu Aiguo said, "We have a unified listing time, so the time I'm leaving you for renovations is limited... only two weeks and fourteen days. That means the entire city will open in two weeks. If you can't finish, don't blame me for being impolite. I can't leave you any more time!"

"Row……"

The three of them agreed.

Because store decoration is not like home decoration, it is much simpler. It only requires some wiring. As for the sect sign, it is all made by the TV factory.

With three days, it can definitely be completed.

It doesn't even take fourteen days.

Fourteen days is enough time for everyone.

“Okay…” Liu Aiguo said, “This is my referral card. Take my referral card to the sales department to sign the contract. Remember to pay a deposit of one thousand yuan!”

A thousand dollars isn't much!

The three of them had no objections and went to the sales department with Liu Aiguo's sign.

To be honest, Liu Aiguo really didn't cheat them this time.

Although Uncle Yi and Uncle San are rather ruthless, it must be said that they are quite decisive in their actions. Especially since this is their own business, even if everything falls apart, it has nothing to do with the factory.

Well, you have to pay for this stuff when you buy it.

The loss is your own, it has nothing to do with the factory.

The three arrived at the sales department, and thanks to Liu Aiguo's introduction, they quickly began discussing the contract.

Before signing the contract, the sales manager said, "Please read carefully, this 1,000 yuan is a deposit. If you withdraw midway, this 1,000 yuan deposit will not be refunded!"

Chapter 138 Deputy Factory Director Li is about to vomit blood.

"what?"

Some of the three people were bleeding!

That's a thousand yuan!

In this day and age, a thousand dollars is no small amount.

For an average family, this is an astronomical figure.

"Oh..." the sales manager said with a smile, "Let me explain a little... This deposit also serves as a penalty for breach of contract, regulating the honest behavior of both parties!"

"For example, we signed a contract, and I'm waiting for you to renovate and start the franchise. But if you suddenly tell me you're not doing it after fourteen days, I'm sorry, I won't give you that thousand yuan. After all, you've delayed my sales for fourteen days, and I have to find someone else to set up the franchise store, so that's a fourteen-day delay!"

"Fourteen days, that means we'll earn a lot less money!"

"We'll return this thousand yuan to you after we've worked together for two years and established trust!"

This……

The three thought about it and unanimously agreed that it was impossible.

How could they suddenly stop doing it?

This is a sure-fire way to make money.

Dry!

So the three of them paid a deposit and then started signing the contract.

After signing the contract, I immediately went to the 13th district to sign a lease for a storefront with the landlord, and then started the renovation.

At the same time, Xu Damao was also promoting his new business everywhere.

"Hey bro, wanna buy a TV?" Xu Damao casually grabbed a guy on the street and started chatting: "We're starting to sell TVs here soon... very soon... really soon..."

"Come buy a TV from us in half a month, and we'll give you a discount!"

"This is a major brand from Hong Kong. The world's first major television manufacturer was born in our Beijing!"

"I've secured the franchise rights!"
