Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Chapter 392

Hou Bingde was anxiously waiting for Hou Yaxin's news at home.

He bought more than 8,000 TV sets, but not all of them were paid with his own money. A large part of them were borrowed from the family.

If others really lowered the price below his purchase price, he would have to sell even if he didn't want to.

It was impossible for the family to keep him using so much money. He had to get the funds back as soon as possible. If he couldn't get the money back, it would not be so easy for Hou Bingde to continue to borrow money from the family.

That's why Hou Bingde was so anxious when the sales of TV sets in the store were not good at the beginning.

In the past, his store could sell several TV sets a day, but now he couldn't sell any, and he felt like he was frying in oil.

Suddenly, an idea came to Hou Bingde's mind.

Was he being calculated by someone?

The second-hand TV industry is not so profitable?

But soon Hou Bingde rejected this idea. If the second-hand TV business is not good, why did other stores have such a prosperous business when Hou Yaxin went to see the sales of other stores a few days ago?

There must be something wrong with his own store.

After an anxious wait, Hou Yaxin finally came back.

"Yaxin, have you heard the news? What's going on?"

Hou Bingde asked Hou Yaxin with a little excitement.

"I have found out that several stores are indeed reducing prices to sell out their inventory, and several other stores are now waiting and watching. They also want to see how much inventory those stores have."

"So that's the case, then we will wait and see for two days."

While others are waiting and watching, Meng Haisheng is making a lot of money.

The price Ajie gave him is also much cheaper than before.

In general, Meng Haisheng's profit has not shrunk too much.

But Meng Haisheng's sales have been soaring recently. He used to sell 30 TVs a day, but now he can sell at least 50 to 60.

500 for an 18-inch color TV, which is equivalent to a fraction of the price of a new color TV, and it is imported, so no tickets are needed, and no one needs to beg for help.

Many workers who are not well-off have joined the ranks of buying TVs.

Anyway, Meng Haisheng's TVs are under warranty, so they are not afraid that the TVs will break down.

While others are waiting and watching, Meng Haisheng is secretly selling like crazy here.

He thought to himself, you guys continue to wait and see, I have a lot of inventory, if you want to wait until I clear the inventory, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the TV store closes.

The first to lose patience were the merchants who used to sell second-hand TVs in Beijing with Meng Haisheng.

They know the domestic market best, and Pengcheng has already reduced prices. If they still want to stick to the price, it will be difficult.

After Meng Haisheng sold three TVs, several other shops also followed suit and reduced prices one after another.

Some people even took the initiative to reduce prices more in order to attract customers.

Hou Bingde, who had just entered the industry, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

"Ya Xin, you said that the prices of all second-hand TV sets in Beijing are being reduced? Is this news reliable?"

"I was out all day today and visited all the stores in Beijing. They were indeed selling at a reduced price."

"And I also found out that they were not clearing out their inventory, but the prices in Pengcheng were much lower."

Hearing this news, Hou Bingde was dumbfounded.

He hadn't done anything yet, but he had already lost 80 yuan for a TV. If he added the money he spent on renting the shop and decorating it, he had lost 640,000 yuan in vain?

Even Hou Bingde couldn't accept such a large sum of money.

Originally, he had a good amount of working capital, and he was thinking of doing the second-hand TV business to subsidize his somewhat tight working capital flow.

Now, his working capital didn't work, but he lost a large sum.

At this time, Hou Bingde felt more and more that something was wrong with the matter.

He suppressed his anger and carefully reviewed the whole incident.

"Yaxin, you just said how many TV sets the store in Dongbu sells in a day."

"More than 55, I asked someone to count them."

"That's not right. When their TV sets were at a high price, they could sell so many TV sets in a day."

"Now the price has dropped so much, why are they still selling the same number as before?"

Hearing Hou Bingde's words, Hou Yaxin also felt that there was something wrong with the sales volume.

"Go check it out quickly and see who is behind this."

Hou Bingde almost bit his back teeth and said.

He is now in a dilemma.

"I'll go right away."

Meng Haisheng didn't clean up the mess he had set for Hou Bingde.

He just wanted Hou Bingde to know that he did everything.

Meng Haisheng is not someone Hou Bingde can move whenever he wants.

Let alone the Shi family, the Lin family alone can bite Hou Bingde.meat down.

This feeling of knowing who the enemy is but being unable to take revenge makes Meng Haisheng feel very happy. He likes to see Hou Bingde get humiliated. He is still a little naive to play with him.

Hou Bingde, who has been doing business for many years, suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Could it be that all this was a trap set by Meng Haisheng?

This is too incredible. If there is any mistake in any link, Meng Haisheng can't deceive him.

But he just made the impossible possible.

Hou Bingde was busy investigating Meng Haisheng.

Meng Haisheng increased his publicity efforts and launched the gimmick of coupons and lottery tickets to compete with TV dealers in the whole capital.

A coupon is 50 yuan. As long as you bring the coupon to the store to buy a second-hand TV, you can directly reduce 50 yuan.

A TV that originally cost 500 yuan suddenly became 450 yuan.

And those who buy TVs in all Meng Haisheng chain stores can participate in the lottery once when buying.

The highest prize was a brand new imported TV.

The prizes behind were mostly small items like books and notebooks.

But even if his gift was not luxurious enough, his prize-giving mode attracted a lot of attention.

"Uncle, what should we do with the TV in our hands? Should we continue to wait and see?"

As soon as Hou Yaxin entered the house, he saw Hou Bingde with a sullen face, and he was a little afraid to talk to him.

"Of course we should sell it. Others want coupons for 450 yuan, but we don't want anything for 450 yuan. I don't believe we can't sell it better than those poor boys."

Doing business and fighting a price war can only hurt both sides.

Hou Bingde knew very well what this sentence meant, but knowing and doing are two different things.

His brain was about to explode because of these more than 8,000 TVs.

And his eldest brother had mentioned to him several times that the loan he borrowed was due to be repaid.

If he didn't pay it back, the house he was living in now might belong to someone else.

"Bingde, what have you been busy with recently? You took so much money from the family and it's not enough. You even went to borrow from others. Aren't you mobilizing too much money?"

"I understand. I will definitely give my family a sum of money at the end of this month, just as interest."

Hou Bingde held the phone, his face was so cold that it could scare people to death.

The person on the other end of the phone didn't know that he had already been struggling forward in the face of difficulties.
