Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu continued, "Although the profit isn't much, if headquarters is satisfied, they might increase orders later. This is also an opportunity for you."

"But if we do that, there's really no profit in this business. Can't the price be a little higher? So I can make a little more money." The female shop manager looked at Li Haoyu with a pleading gaze.

"I know it's not easy for you to run a business, but I understand. You also need to consider my situation. If I give the price quote to headquarters, it might be too high."

"It's a minor issue if headquarters doesn't agree to the quote. If they think I'm profiting from it, I could lose my job. I've already tried my best to apply for the budget, but foreign companies are very particular about rules, and the budget is fixed."

Li Haoyu said sternly, "This is your only chance. If it doesn't work out, I won't come back. You can reconsider. If it still doesn't work out, that's fine too, but I'll have to consider other suitable businesses."

Li Haoyu firmly rejected the female shop owner's request.

He said no more and waited quietly for her to make her final decision.

The female shop owner looked at Li Haoyu and gave a wry smile.

She hesitated for a long time but ultimately couldn't bear to give up the opportunity.

The female store manager said, "There really wasn't much profit this time, but at least I made a friend in Manager Li, so I haven't lost out!"

The female shop owner pointed to the table Li Haoyu had his eye on and said, "This lazy desk you chose is made of composite board, but the quality is definitely not a problem. The wholesale price is 80 yuan per piece for orders of 100 or more, and 50 yuan per piece for orders of 1000 or more. I'll give you the wholesale price of 50 yuan this time. 👌🐲 ➅❾𝔰卄ùЖ.匚𝕆爪😳☯"

"Okay, this price is fine. I won't look for other vendors. I've already given you the sample orders. For all subsequent tables, regardless of the quantity, the price will be 50 yuan each!"

"But you also need to be responsible for part of the freight. You don't need to deliver it to the port, but you need to deliver it to Xishan University Town. I'll find someone to transport the goods afterwards. Pack 100 samples for me this time," Li Haoyu said, frowning.

"Alright, I still need to take some sample photos. Boss, I need to borrow your shop temporarily to take some pictures. Would you be willing?"

"It's alright, feel free to use whatever you need in the store. I'd also like to learn more about young people."

The female boss looked at Li Haoyu with a slightly curious gaze.

Her previous clients were either very wealthy or extremely calculating.

But I've never seen anything so professional and meticulous before; it's truly an eye-opener.

The shop uses glass windows, so there's no need to worry about lighting. Li Haoyu can just adjust the angle slightly and take the picture directly, saving him a lot of trouble.

He chose to shoot in the store to save on the budget; otherwise, finding another shooting location would have cost money.

He only realized the importance of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure after becoming his own boss. Every penny he saves now means he can earn more later.

Li Haoyu's target customers are students.

In this case, the shooting quality is high enough: product images become crucial. ♨🐺 ❻➈ˢℍ𝕦𝕏.ᑕỖᵐ 🍬💋

He chose to shoot at a 45-degree angle to the light source, which not only made the photos more three-dimensional but also highlighted the texture of the table.

He spent over an hour working on it before finally finishing filming.

Li Haoyu also discussed the payment method with the female shop owner. Since the number of samples was not large, the female shop owner was also worried about the risks.

Except for the first batch of samples where payment can be delayed, subsequent orders must be placed on a cash-on-delivery basis.

Li Haoyu was very satisfied with the negotiation outcome. After all, getting something for nothing isn't that easy, and merchants aren't fools. Being able to delay payment for the first batch of goods was already a very good negotiation result.

For him, that already gives him enough room to maneuver.

After the site visit, Li Haoyu took Yuan Yuan to a restaurant, where he reviewed the negotiations.

He started bragging to the viewers again: "Dear viewers, bargaining is that easy!"

"Today's live stream is to teach everyone a lesson: failure is not terrible. As long as you master the right methods and persevere, success will eventually come!"

Li Haoyu said in a very serious tone.

A viewer, Vietnam's richest man, commented: "This streamer's got some skills! He managed to turn a disastrous show into an inspirational one. Streamer, awesome!"

A viewer nicknamed "Lazy Killer" commented: "The streamer is starting to talk about the entrepreneurial journey, everyone hurry up and listen to Teacher Li's lecture!"

A viewer commented remotely: "The streamer just has a bit of luck, what's he pretending for?"

…………

Since some people question my success, I'll do a post-mortem analysis to explain why I was able to succeed.

Some people can't wait to walk into the store and immediately ask if it's cheaper or if they can get free shipping. These people have already lost the initiative the moment they step inside.

By so easily revealing their hand, they will undoubtedly find themselves in a passive position in subsequent negotiations.

"You have to understand that negotiation is something that no one can avoid."

Negotiations are everywhere in life, from the small vegetable market to the large shopping mall, from the workplace to the family. We all need to explore opportunities with different people.

So how can we maximize our profits with limited resources?

The most important thing is to keep your cards hidden, so that you can turn the tables and take the initiative.

Many people who come to furniture stores on their own have a poor shopping experience. They feel that the merchants there are unresponsive and indifferent. Many merchants won't even bother to talk to you once they hear you're an individual buyer.

Did you all want to yell, "What a snob! What a piece of trash!"?

Actually, it's not entirely the merchants' fault.

Because the furniture mall's businesses are positioned as suppliers and wholesalers, not retailers.

You didn't do anything wrong, you're just not their target customers.

If you go to a large department store to buy furniture, the sales staff there will definitely be incredibly enthusiastic.

The reason is simple: furniture in shopping malls has high profit margins, and salespeople receive high commissions, so they are naturally more enthusiastic.

Many people assume that furniture stores offer high-quality goods at low prices, but that's not always the case.

Because the businesses here make money by volume, following the path of low profit and high sales.

If your purchase quantity is small, including labor and utilities, and you sell it to them at the wholesale price, you may not only not make a profit, but you may even lose money!

Of course, they will never refuse business that comes to them.

However, they will secretly raise the price slightly, so the final price you get won't be very attractive.

Taking into account the time and shipping costs you incur, the final result may not necessarily save you money.

"Everyone sees that I succeeded just by chatting, doesn't it seem so easy?"

Actually, that's not the case. The moment I stepped into the shop, the game between me and the shop owner had already begun.

Deceiving people is not the goal, but you can't do business entirely by telling the truth, or you'll suffer a terrible fate.

If I tell the truth, the merchants probably won't bother with me because they think they won't make much money.

Conversely, having a young and beautiful female secretary as a subordinate, coupled with the added advantage of being a foreign trade manager of a well-known company, makes it easy to gain the trust of merchants.

"Therefore, even if I purchase small quantities, negotiate low prices aggressively, and take a tough stance, the merchants will still give up some profits in order to seize this opportunity and gain a big client."

"Have you all learned from the details, the design, and the effort behind each streamer's work?"

Viewers have taken it to a whole new level: "Don't worry, streamer, we've all learned it."

A viewer, Chaosanfusi, commented: "Putting everything else aside, where did you get such a beautiful secretary?"

One netizen chuckled and said, "This guy deserves 100 points."
