Chapter 612 Monkey Spirit
“New goods?”
With the goods brought back from Guangzhou, Fu Jingyou didn’t take anything too conspicuous, just a few lighters.
Men are still men who smoke.
Either a match or a lighter, this is a necessity.
There are many people smoking in the factory, and the workers say they have to be short of money, but the economic situation is better than that of most people, that's for sure.
The electromechanical factory itself is closely related to industry. Lighters are also considered small industrial products and are easy for a group of people to study.
Fu Jingyou said it was a new product, and the old smokers from the electrical machine factory immediately surrounded him.
Want to see how this "new product" is different from the past ones?
What’s new?
A group of old smokers were interested in lighters, which was completely expected by Fu Jingyou.
Fu Jingyou handed the lighter out, then took out a few more from his pocket and handed them out to show them.
He opened the windproof cover and talked in detail about the differences between these lighters and old-fashioned lighters:
“It turns out that the lighters we use need to be filled with flint and kerosene every three to five days. Sometimes kerosene will leak out..."
"This won't happen."
Fu Jingyou showed the air hole at the bottom of the lighter:
“Although this is also a gas pump, it uses liquefied petroleum gas. The air hole is as big as the tip of a needle and will not leak. It is safe and easy to use.”< br>
Not only is it safe, if you hold this lighter in your hand, you can use it for half a year even if you smoke every day.
It’s not like the original old-fashioned lighter, although it’s still easy to use.
But it’s like a small toy. It has to be dismantled and installed in various ways every time. It’s troublesome just to toss it back and forth and fill the small metal tube with kerosene.
As soon as Fu Jingyou finished his analysis, everyone else nodded in surprise and approval:
"Yeah, it's true."
Of course, there were also blind students who discovered Hua Dian.
"Xiao Fu, where did you get this lighter? Is it for sale?"
"I have a classmate from Shanghai. His family background is poor, so he can only find some way to work and study."
Fu Jingyou nodded and explained:
"I saw that he was in trouble, so I thought I would help if I could."
He did not intend to win sympathy.
It is true that this matter needs a reasonable reason.
Shanghai and Beijing are both big cities.
Although the industry is underdeveloped, every city has things and advantages that each city is developing.
Not only did the old smokers have no suspicion, they also inquired about how many such lighters Fu Jingyou still had.
They want them one by one, but they are afraid that others will get up and they will not be able to grab them.
“This matter is risky after all, and I don’t dare to take too many, only eighteen in total.”
Fu Jingyou calmly narrated:
"My classmate said that he bought this lighter from them for 1.4 yuan. He brought it here and added 10 cents and sold it for 1.5 yuan. But when he heard that I wanted to give it to a factory worker, he said he didn't make any money and still charged 1.40 yuan. Come. "
It would be nice to be cheaper, but a group of old smokers also remember what he just said.
"That's not okay. You have gone to such great lengths to bring her here just to earn a dime, or for a work-study program. I don't think you'll listen to him, just listen to us, and the price is one dollar and a half."
“I agree, I’ll take one.”
“I want one too!”
"I want one too. Oops, I was in a hurry when I went out in the morning and didn't bring any money. Xiaofu, I'll give you some money when I go to work in the afternoon. Do you win?"
"Okay, it's easy to say."
Good things never have to be sold.
The lighter that Fu Jingyou took out was two cents more expensive than the one sold in the department store.
But it is made of metal and is very heavy in the hand. It also comes with a windproof cover. It not only looks good in texture, but also very novel.
A group of old smokers all think it's a good deal, one for this one and two for that one. Some say that they should be brought to family and friends, and that they should have all three.
Reselling is risky.
In the time it took to smoke a cigarette, everything was sold out.
Everyone tacitly understood each other and returned to their respective workstation areas with their things.
No one preached much.
Fu Jingyou silently calculated an account while working.
Eighteen lighters that had been purchased in the south for 70 cents were sold out in the blink of an eye for 1.51 yuan.
After deducting the cost, the profit from the lighter alone was fourteen yuan and forty cents.
For comparison, the salary of a junior worker in an electromechanical factory is 40 yuan per month. It is indeed quite good.
Fu Jingyou has tasted the sweetness, but he is family-oriented and always remembers his father-in-law's instructions.
In the factory, he only occasionally picked up some inconspicuous gadgets.
Some larger items, such as ready-made clothes, bundles of fabrics, etc.
It is not convenient to carry, and it is easy to take out and sell it to the outside world. Fu Jingyou has no intention of showing up frequently or passing it through his own hands.
He came here for the internship class before, and he had already noticed that in the alley behind the electrical machine factory, during lunch, a group of black market people would come here to sell food and drink. .
Occasionally, some other things are mixed in.
What those people value is that factory workers have a stable income and are willing to spend money.
Fu Jingyou focused his attention on this group of people.
After staring quietly for several noondays, and finally choosing the right person, Fu Jingyou stepped forward and revealed the news tactfully, saying that he had a batch of good goods in hand.
If you are interested, you can cooperate.
The person on the other side heard that what he said contained good quality fabrics, and he immediately showed strong interest.
Although good quality fabrics are expensive, they are always in short supply in the market.
Last year, a batch of new goods appeared on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which caused quite a stir.
It is said that a stampede occurred and a young female teacher in her forties died on the spot.
After winter comes summer here in northern Beijing, and it is indeed a good time to sell good products.
The black market hawker asked excitedly:
"Is it really good? What's the price? How is the quality?"
"The department store sells it for 84 cents a foot, and it requires a ticket. I don't want a ticket. , one piece at a time, as for the quality, if you think it is OK, I will choose a place and see the goods tomorrow."
The black market hawker frowned and looked at Fu Jingyou carefully.
No need to print tickets, one dollar and ten cents per foot is fine.
If it is really good and there is nothing wrong with the item, it will be easy to copy it later and sell it for RMB 1.5 plus a coupon.
At this time, anyone who dares to do this job under the nose of a big leader is a fool.
After roughly calculating an account in his mind, the black market hawker nodded without any temptation:
"Okay, you tell me the time and place."
Fu Jingyou said that tomorrow evening At 6:30, I went to the grocery market in Chongwenmen to look at the goods.
Fu Jingyou has also worked in the black market and knows what things are easy to sell.
Especially the quality of the things he brought back this time have been selected by him, so it is easy to get rid of them, but it is not convenient for him to participate.
If something is too good, it will be easily spotted.
To be on the safe side, it is necessary to send people further away to see the goods.
The electromechanical factory gets off work at 5:30, so he left early and was fine.
After getting home, I packed up and went to Chongwenmen on my bicycle.
