Chapter 254 IPhone, health care products
“Damn it, why did you sleep until now?”
When I woke up the next day, it was already afternoon.
Chen Xi found himself lying on the big bed in the apartment, with Shazhi sleeping soundly next to him.
Without waking up Saori, he went directly to the living room and found Dongdong sitting on the sofa in the living room, yawning.
"Are you awake?"
"Well, why is Saori here too?"
"We don't know where she lives, so we can only bring her back together. By the way, you insisted yesterday "Pull her back."
"How much did you drink last night? Where are Chengxian and the others?"
"He said he didn't want to send her off, but he wanted to meet again the next day. Sad once.”
"Uh..."
After thinking about meeting him at a party later, Chen Xi didn't say much.
I hope we can all still be good brothers in this life!
"Why did you get up so early?" He was a little confused when he saw that Xiao Ming, who usually got up first, was still sleeping, but Dongdong was uncharacteristically.
“Of course I’m going to the branch! I’m in charge there, and I said I’m going to do my job well.”
“Come on, give me the Oreos!”
“I don’t understand, I’m giving you the Oreos!”
Dongdong rubbed his swollen head and gave Chen Xi an international The gesture left home.
Light a cigarette, walk to the balcony alone, and let the smoke linger.
The smoke of cigarettes was intertwined with the memory of last night, bringing back some memories of his past life.
He has repeatedly thought that if he had not chosen to return to China after completing his studies, his fate might have been different. If he uses the funds to purchase real estate, collect rent, and become a salted fish, it may also be a good choice.
However, Chen Yifeng's incident has always been a thorn in his heart. While studying in Tu'ao, he once determined to defeat him after returning to China.
However, it failed in the end.
Nowadays, a life as a salted fish no longer seems possible, but the experiences in his past life have made him continue to reflect. This contradictory thought was always swirling in his mind.
He was deep in thought and did not notice anyone approaching. It wasn't until a soft jade arm wrapped around his waist and Shazhi's soft voice sounded in his ears: "What are you thinking about?" He was startled.
"It's nothing, my classmate has returned to China, I'm a little sad."
"Don't think too much, we will all return to China by then, it's just a matter of time."
Shazhi comforted him, but little did he know Chen Xi was thinking about other things.
“Have you thought about the branch address?”
“Well, let’s choose Boxhill!”
Hearing this, he nodded.
"Nana bought a car, so it is convenient to travel back and forth."
"Your store is doing well, and only BreadTop can compete with you in Boxhill."
"I plan to open a branch in Xicun. There are many young people there, so business should be better."
"I didn't expect you to be quite big-hearted. I haven't even done business in Xicun yet! ”
"Haha, I want to be a female CEO."
Chen Xi did not object to Shazhi's idea. He felt that women should have their own careers.
He doesn't like that kind of housewife. She is out of touch with society at home all the time. When she comes home, she only talks about daily necessities. As time goes by, it is difficult to have common topics, and there are only endless quarrels.
“iPhone-subverts tradition and reshapes the future. Opens up a new mobile life, making every moment full of infinite possibilities...”
On the streets of Tuao, advertisements for Apple mobile phones have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Advertising slogans can be seen everywhere in bus stations, trains and TV advertisements.
There was an endless stream of people queuing up to buy iPhones. The Apple store was so crowded that the queue stretched outside the mall.
Some people even set up tents at the door, waiting to buy iPhones, despite the security guards' objections.
Today's situation is such that it is hard to find a machine. People often wait in line for a day and are told that there is no stock.
This situation was very common in Tu'ao in previous lives, especially when console games were released. Game enthusiasts were willing to wait for days just to experience the latest products as soon as possible.
Chen Xi will not waste this time waiting in line, because there is a profession called scalping.
Scalpers exist all over the world. In the case of fair competition and queues, it is not a problem if people spend their own time to sell at a reasonable price.
He bought several IPhones for a thousand yuan each.
The official selling price of IPhone1 in Tu'ao is 799 for the 16GB version and 899 for the 32GB version.
This is much more expensive than in beautiful countries, where the prices are only 499 and 599.
According to the current exchange rate converted into Chinese national currency, the difference per unit is about 1,200 Chinese national currency.
No wonder Chen Ran asked his uncle to buy it for him from Beautiful Country.
In his previous life, Chen Xi was used to spending a lot of money, and he didn't even think about calculating this small amount of money.
"Wow! New phone, great! I want to try it out. I saw this online a long time ago."
"Did you buy so many as a gift to us? What a good brother."
Today, Dongdong came to Sihai to pick up documents. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chen Xi walking in with a plastic bag containing several brand-new Apple phones. He and Xiao Ming immediately beamed and praised Chen Xi's goodness with joy.
Chen Xi smiled, took out a mobile phone from the plastic bag, and walked directly into Xia Lian's office.
"Xiao Lian, this is for you."
Looking at the Nokia that had been used for many years on Xia Lian's table, he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.
Obviously her salary is not low, but she is still so frugal.
"This is too valuable, I can't accept it." Xia Lian shook her head and did not reach out to pick it up.
"This is for outstanding employees, everyone has it!"
He knew Xia Lian would disagree, so he deliberately bought several mobile phones.
"This..."
"Take it! There are even field hooks!"
He forced the phone to Xia Lian, and after seeing her accept it, Chen Xi showed a satisfied smile.
"Glen Waverley, I sent out a lot of recruitment information over there, and a Vietnamese from Spring, Vale came to apply. Do you need to accept it?"
"Yes, accept them all! Again Recruiting people with special skills, the branch still lacks repairmen for door-to-door repairs! It is also one of the company’s main incomes.”
“Understood, I think we can also add other businesses, such as locksmithing, computer repair, interior renovation, etc.”
“That’s a good idea! Then I’ll leave it to you. Work hard and I’ll give you a promotion when the time comes!”
"Yes. It's no longer necessary for promotion. You have helped me so much."
"The company should reward its employees."
Xia Lian felt happy after hearing Chen Xi's words Feeling a little lost again.
Does he just treat me as an ordinary employee?
Then who else do you want to be like for him?
Xia Lian felt a little confused. It was true that she liked the other person, but she didn't want to be a bad woman and ruin other people's feelings.
Thinking of this, she quickly returned to normal. When she looked up, she saw that Chen Xi had left and was discussing other things with Dongdong and the others.
“Aunt Shi Tao’s accounting firm is really good! After talking with her, we can save a lot of money this year!”
“Don’t evade taxes!”
Chen Xi reminded Xiao Ming.
It's easy to say that it's easy to find small Chinese restaurants like Tu'ao. For companies of a certain size, Tu'ao's inspections are still very strict. If anything happens, the fine will be huge, and in serious cases, you will go to jail.
"Don't worry, I'm avoiding taxes reasonably! I try to use cash as much as possible, haha!"
"Just understand, everyone in foreign countries likes to use cash."
Chen Xi acquiesces to Xiao Ming's approach. He is not a pedantic person. Everyone does it anyway.
“I saw that the pharmacy in Boxhill is very popular recently! Many Chinese people go shopping there. Are everyone paying so much attention to health now?”
"That's a purchasing agent."
Chen Xi explained, but Dongdong looked like she didn't understand.
“Just buy some health care products from Tu’ao and send them back to China and earn the price difference. However, 99% of purchasing agents are illegal because they don’t pay taxes.”
“That can How much money do you make? Sell it for a lot of money! No one else will buy it. How much can one person buy? It’s not a big deal. Why bother?” Big money!”
Chen Xi remembers that purchasing agents had not yet become popular at this time. Tu'ao is a country with developed animal husbandry. Milk powder is one of the specialties here. The price is reasonable and the food is safe.
In 2008, a serious milk powder incident occurred. At that time, people began to buy from abroad for the health of their children. Tu'ao was the largest milk powder purchasing place in the world at that time.
International students who originally had little income have joined the army of purchasing agents.
This job has no threshold, does not require a lot of investment, and does not take much time. This has become an ideal source of income for overseas students in Turkey and Australia.
Many international students are not satisfied with small individual shipments and have begun to work together to engage in larger ones. Since everyone at home has some money, they can easily open a small shop in their hometown.
However, as the number of domestic import and export supermarkets increased, their purchasing agents gradually shifted their attention to luxury goods.
While several people were discussing purchasing on behalf of others.
A Chemist Warehouse in Burwood is the largest drugstore chain store in Tuao. It has a history of more than 30 years and has branches all over Tuao.
pharmacies in Tuao often have discounts, and they are amazingly half-price sales.
Purchasing agents have sensed business opportunities. Although not many are currently participating in purchasing on behalf of others, most of them have chosen to wait and see. But some international students who are strapped for money will choose to give it a try.
Today, the drug store has another special offer. In Chinese districts like Boxhill, most of the best-selling health products are already sold out.
The smarter ones started to run to the pharmacy further away.
"Brother Shi Tao, my hands are so sore!"
Li Yuqing looked at the basket full of health care products and rubbed her arms.
“Oh, just don’t buy so many.”
"Huh?"
Shi Tao's answer shocked her. Shouldn't it be the other party who offered to help her carry things?
This boy is not a straight man. There are many girls around him. How come he is not gentle to her at all!
Actually, Shi Tao is such a person. He will not give gifts to girls, nor will he be gentle and caring to girls, but those girls just move towards him. I think he is humorous and versatile.
However, this aroused Li Yuqing's competitive spirit even more. She didn't like dog-licking like Tian Gou. Although the Shi Tao in front of her was not gentle to her, she still wanted to try to get closer.
During this period of time, the two chatted a lot. Li Yuqing felt a little happy after learning that Shi Tao was a non-marriage person.
Because her parents have a bad relationship, she is not optimistic about marriage now, and the idea of not getting married has already begun to form in her mind.
In fact, this was the case in her previous life. She didn’t want to marry Chen Xi, so she kept looking for reasons to ask for this and that, creating a high threshold for the other party. As long as he couldn’t meet the requirements, she could keep delaying.
“Of course you have to buy more during today’s discount! You can make a lot of money this way!”
“Oh, these discounts happen often, so there’s no need to pay too much attention. Okay, you buy it There are too many things, I think these can all be put back." After saying that, Shi Tao took out the things from Li Yuqing's basket and put them back on the shelves.
This pissed her off half to death. Wouldn't it be nice to make money?
Is there something wrong with this person?
Actually, Shi Tao is a casual and Buddhist person. He doesn't want to make a lot of money at all. He just wants to increase his living expenses and have fun.
The two people have fundamentally different ideas. Li Yuqing suppressed her anger and glared at him, but Shi Tao didn't notice it at all and was still arranging things for himself.
