Chapter 177 Conditions
"How about Hong Kong products?" Song Yuanchao asked with a smile.
Luo Yang nodded repeatedly with shining eyes, picked up a pair of sunglasses and couldn't let go. This pair of sunglasses was exactly the same as the ones Mike Harris wore on TV, and there was a full English label on it, which was obviously a high-end item.
"This thing belongs to me!" Without saying anything, Luo Yang put it on without any hesitation. After putting it on, he asked Song Yuanchao where he could find a mirror. Song Yuanchao smiled and pointed in a direction. The guy ran to the mirror and looked at it from all angles, laughing so hard.
"Handsome! So damn handsome! Yes! That's it!"
Luo Yang now was as excited as a little girl in later generations who received her first donkey-brand bag in her life. He narcissistically took pictures for a long time and then picked out a digital watch to put on. He wore it on his wrist to show off, and then turned his attention to other things.
"Okay, these are all yours, stop messing around, take them back and try them yourself." Seeing his look, Song Yuanchao said with a smile . He didn't expect that Luo Yang was a trend follower and couldn't take his eyes off these things.
Although Song Yuanchao is an experienced person, due to the long time, he has somewhat overlooked the powerful lethality of these things to the young people of this era. Luo Yang's reaction today is actually very normal.
Hearing Song Yuanchao say this, Luo Yang was even more delighted and excitedly punched Song Yuanchao's chest twice: "Give them all to me? Haha, thank you so much, brother. From now on, you are my brother, dear!"
"Go to hell, you didn't even treat me as a brother after I helped you so much before? Now that you're dissatisfied with me, you don't even have a bottom line? If you were in wartime, you would definitely be a traitor, the kind that can be bought off with a little trick."
"Hahaha, not really, not really." Luo Yang laughed so hard that his eyes became slits.
"Old Song, you are amazing. You actually have a way to get these. By the way, how much did these things cost?" Returning to the topic, Luo Yang was reluctant to take off his sunglasses and asked while putting them on.
"I have a friend in Hong Kong, and I asked him to help find someone to bring it back during the Chinese New Year." Song Yuanchao said half-truthfully.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have overseas connections?" Luo Yang was a little surprised.
"What overseas relationship? Hong Kong is also our country's territory. One day, it will return to the embrace of the motherland. As for that friend, he was a fellow educated youth. We have a very close relationship. He just went there to visit his family not long ago."
Luo Yang nodded, clenched his fist and said solemnly: "You are right, Hong Kong is also our territory. Not only Hong Kong, but also Macau, Hong Kong, and the Taiwan Strait... One day we will take all these places back!"
After expressing his emotion, Luo Yang continued to ask about the price. Song Yuanchao gave him a general idea. After hearing the price, Luo Yang felt that it was a bit expensive, but then he thought that after all, these were imported goods, so it was normal for them to be a bit more expensive.
"These are retail prices. If you purchase directly, the cost is actually not expensive." Seeing Luo Yang frowning as if he was thinking about something, Song Yuanchao of course knew what he was thinking at the moment and spoke immediately.
Luo Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked how much the purchase price could be lowered if he bought in large quantities.
Song Yuanchao had been prepared. He pointed at these things and quoted their approximate prices one by one. After hearing Song Yuanchao's offer, Luo Yang could no longer sit still. He immediately asked if Song Yuanchao could tell his friend in Hong Kong to help him get a batch of goods to sell.
"Of course that's no problem. Otherwise, why did I call you here today?" Song Yuanchao had long anticipated Luo Yang's reaction. He called Luo Yang here today to discuss this matter. He planned to continue cooperating with Luo Yang in the next sales. After all, Luo Yang was still very reliable through the previous cooperation. Moreover, after the fake collar business, Luo Yang's store had become well-known in Dashilan. At the same time, he had initially established channels through wholesale. If he wanted to quickly occupy the Yanjing market, Luo Yang was a key figure.
Just like the reason why Song Yuanchao chose to cooperate with Zhang Yong in Shanghai, Song Yuanchao did not expect to make money from start to finish in business. Such an operation can certainly obtain greater profits, but overall such an operation is too rudimentary from a business perspective, and is not suitable for occupying the market in the shortest time.
In addition, Song Yuanchao did not want to come forward himself. Lin Daoyuan's words yesterday also reminded him that it was better to be cautious in some aspects. There would be no such concerns if Luo Yang and Zhang Yong were to do this. In addition, Song Yuanchao controlled the source, and the real big head was still in Song Yuanchao's hands, but he only gave them a part of the profit.
"These quotations are temporary. The final prices will vary depending on the fabric and quality. I'll ask my friend to send you a quotation sheet and you can take a closer look." Song Yuanchao said so. Luo Yang nodded to indicate that it was no problem. This was actually the same as a fake collar. The price would naturally vary depending on the fabric and workmanship. Of course, he knew that.
"Also, clothes and the like may not be delivered so quickly. It will take at least a month to get them back and forth, and the earliest will be next month. But the digital watch and sunglasses are no problem. I have already made arrangements with the south before I came back, and they will send the first batch over in a few days."
"That's no problem. It's enough to sell these two things first. Clothes and pants can be sold later." Luo Yang said happily.
"Oh, there's one more thing I want to make clear." Song Yuanchao looked at Luo Yang sternly, "I'm just the initiator of this deal. My friend also has some requirements. If you can agree, then we can cooperate. If you can't agree, then just pretend we didn't mention it today."
"Request? Please tell me in detail."
"Three requests." Song Yuanchao held up a finger , "First, you must not disclose the source of the goods after you make contact. I'm afraid that if too many people know about it, it will cause trouble. You also know that it's not easy to get the goods from Hong Kong..."
Luo Yang expressed his understanding of this. After all, these were imported goods. Hong Kong and the mainland were two different places. Capitalist Hong Kong was completely different from the inside and the outside. It might require some special channels to get the goods here. As the son of a high-ranking official, Luo Yang had also heard of this.
"That's no problem. Besides, once this business is started, I won't tell anyone about it. Wouldn't that reveal my true identity?" Luo Yang agreed without hesitation.
"As for the second point." Song Yuanchao raised his second finger. "These goods are not like fake collars, but we can't buy them on credit. Let's test the waters first. All the rest will be paid in cash. For convenience, you can settle directly with Yangcheng. My friend has a business in Yangcheng. You prepare the money and I will notify them to ship the goods after you pay."
"This..." Luo Yang hesitated. This would put a lot of pressure on his funds. Although he made some money from the fake collars, he didn't have much money now. This business was not about fake collars. It had high costs and occupied a lot of funds.
But on second thought, these things have high costs but high profits! Selling one can bring much higher profits than selling fake collars. After thinking about it, Luo Yang gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
"As for the third one." Song Yuanchao raised his last finger: "My friend can give all the sales in Yanjing to you, but you have to guarantee the maximum shipment volume and retail price. If you can't guarantee it, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it for long."
"How much shipment volume does he want?" Song Yuanchao had already mentioned the retail price, but the shipment volume had not been discussed yet.
Song Yuanchao said a number, which was a little beyond Luo Yang's expectations, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally agreed.
"But Old Song, there is something I need to make clear ." After agreeing to Song Yuanchao's conditions, Luo Yang suddenly said.
"you say."
"It's OK at the beginning, but if there are other supply channels in the city in the future, I can't guarantee it. I'll make this clear first."
"That's natural. You can't have a monopoly in business. You start early and get the first chance. After a year or so, other people won't be fools. Besides, my friend is just a channel for these things, and he knows very well about this. By that time, the conditions mentioned above will naturally change. What I said just now is only limited to the current situation." Song Yuanchao explained a few sentences. In fact, Luo Yang's meaning was similar to Zhang Yong's, but compared with Zhang Yong, Luo Yang was a little more reserved and spoke more tactfully. From this, we can see the difference in personality and style between Luo Yang and Zhang Yong.
After hearing this explanation, Luo Yang was immediately relieved. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, that's no problem for me. By the way, you said that the sunglasses and electronic watches will arrive by the end of the month? Can you hurry up and get them here one day earlier so that I can sell them earlier."
Seeing Luo Yang's impatient look, Song Yuanchao smiled and said he understood. He would urge the matter as soon as possible and let Luo Yang prepare the funds in advance.
After saying this, Song Yuanchao refilled Luo Yang's teacup with tea and then lit a cigarette.
"Let me ask you something."
"What's up?"
"Are Xiao Qiao and Zhao Minglei related?" Song Yuanchao asked slowly.
Luo Yang's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. He took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, nodded, and said, "Xiao Qiao is Zhao Minglei's cousin, and his mother is Zhao Minglei's aunt. Zhao Minglei asked me for help through Xiao Qiao. Old Song, I didn't mean to hide this from you, but I didn't mention it because I was afraid you would misunderstand. And although Xiao Qiao and Zhao Minglei are relatives, I know they don't interact much in normal times. The class committee election was just a matter of face..."
"I know that. I've also met Xiao Qiao. He's a good guy. He's serious and responsible in his work. He doesn't talk much on weekdays. He's not unreliable." Song Yuanchao waved his hand without waiting for Luo Yang to finish his words.
Hearing Song Yuanchao say this, Luo Yang felt relieved. Luo Yang knew something about the grudge between Zhao Minglei and Song Yuanchao. The two had not gotten along since they met. To be honest, Luo Yang really didn't want to have any misunderstandings with Song Yuanchao on this matter. After all, they had always cooperated very well, and Song Yuanchao took the initiative to find him for this deal today. This was to give Luo Yang face and to show his respect for Luo Yang. Luo Yang was a particular person, so he naturally appreciated this favor.
Moreover, although Luo Yang and Zhao Minglei knew each other, they actually had no friendship. They were just acquaintances, and that was just Xiao Qiao's relationship. As for Luo Yang, he looked down on Zhao Minglei, thinking that this guy was too fake and too vain, and had too many tricks, which was not to his taste at all.
