Chapter 390
Meng Haisheng quickly glanced at the dozen or so papers in his hand.
No matter if he didn't know, he was shocked when he saw it.
He never expected that the Hou family had such a deep foundation in Beijing. No wonder Lin Jiangchun didn't dare to touch the Hou family easily after returning to Beijing, even though he was very popular with his old leader.
Now Hou Bingde is the second child in the Hou family. Although he is not the head of the Hou family, he has a lot of power in his hands.
There are more than a dozen industries involved. It can be said that there is nothing he doesn't touch in Beijing.
And he can reach out to other places outside Beijing.
If others see that Hou Bingde has so many industries, they will definitely think that Hou Bingde is very rich.
But Meng Haisheng took a rough look and knew that Hou Bingde's industries were basically regular. Although a few of them took advantage of some loopholes, they didn't make any money.
Judging from his industries, Hou Bingde should not have made a lot of money in the Hou family, so he is tossing so many industries out.
Even if it was a small profit, he would not let it go.
Starting from him, it would be a very good choice to bring down the Hou family.
As for Hou Yaxin, he was just a small fry, and obviously had no industry.
Even Lin Jinyan was too lazy to investigate him, and just passed him by in two sentences.
Since there was no need for veterinary drugs in Hou Yaxin's industry, it was more certain that this matter was probably related to Hou Bingde.
And Hou Bingde's target was that strange little note that no one could understand.
Meng Haisheng curled his lips and showed a sly smile on his face.
He went back and called Meng Daniu to ask about the number of TV sets in stock there.
It was already the second half of 1986, and although the price of second-hand TV sets in Beijing had not changed much, the price in Pengcheng had already started to fall.
The merchants in Beijing were also waiting and watching, and the policies and the output of TV factories directly affected the price of their second-hand TV sets.
Meng Haisheng was ready to dig a big hole for Hou Bingde and make him a big one.
"The last batch of more than a dozen containers, plus the previous inventory, there are more than 8,000 TV sets."
"Okay, you send me all the inventory, and we will sell all the TV sets that come in later at a lower price."
Meng Daniu didn't ask Meng Haisheng why he suddenly did this, he just agreed and found a car to deliver the TV to Meng Haisheng tomorrow.
Before the summer vacation, Meng Haisheng asked Meng Daniu to clear the inventory once, and several stores in Beijing were full of TV sets.
This time, more than 8,000 TV sets came, and Meng Haisheng planned to put them in the idle warehouse of the garment factory first.
Anyway, after he came, he would be able to sell them in a short time.
Fang Zheng and Xiao Zhihu had just started work on their first day, and Meng Haisheng gave them a very difficult task.
Find a way to spread some news, saying that Meng Haisheng knew the gossip that the price of second-hand TV sets would increase, and the profit margin of this price increase would be very large.
"Just make Hou Yaxin believe this news."
Fang Zheng and Xiao Zhihu looked at each other in surprise. They never expected that the first task they received would be like this.
"Boss Meng, we don't know Hou Yaxin, how can we make him believe these rumors?"
Fang Zheng was a little embarrassed. He and Xiao Zhihu had never come into contact with such things before.
"This is easy. Just tell Hou Yaxin's familiar people about this matter. Hou Yaxin wants to make money, so he will definitely believe it."
After being pointed out by Meng Haisheng, Fang Zheng knew what to do.
Fang Zheng and Xiao Zhihu had never done such a thing before. For two consecutive days, whenever Meng Haisheng came to the factory, they would ask Meng Haisheng for advice on how to act.
This surprised Meng Haisheng. Although the two of them were a little unfamiliar with doing things, it was still very good to be able to ask for advice humbly.
"Boss Meng, things are almost done. This morning, Hou Yaxin was asking around in several second-hand TV stores in Beijing."
"When I came back just now, Hou Yaxin went to a TV store in person and squatted to see how many TVs he could sell in a day."
"Which store did he go to?"
"The one on Dongbu Street."
Meng Haisheng's eyes lit up. Wasn't he the only second-hand TV store on Dongbu Street?
"Fang Zheng, transfer 20 workers from the pharmaceutical factory now, give each of them 700 yuan, and go to the TV store on Dongbu Street in batches to buy color TVs."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Fang Zheng was quite smart. He understood what to do as soon as Meng Haisheng said it.
Isn't this just going to be a shill to create a false impression for Hou Yaxin?
On the other side, Hou Yaxin brought his little follower Zhou Qin, and the two of them squatted at the door of the TV store, counting the flow of people.
"Brother Hou, this second-hand TV business is good. A color TV that costs more than 1,000 is only sold for 700. No wonder so many people are doing second-hand TV business."
"Don't rush to make a conclusion. Uncle Er asked us to see how many TV sets a store can sell."
After all, Hou Bingde has been in the business world for many years. It is impossible for him to enter an industry he is not familiar with just because of Hou Yaxin's words.
Hou Yaxin and Zhou Qin squatted on the curb, counting the people carrying TV sets out one by one.
Even at noon, the two did not leave, but bought two buns to make do with it.
Usually, Meng Haisheng's store sells about 40 TV sets a day at most.
In recent months, it has been easier to get tickets for new TV sets, and the sales of second-hand TV sets have declined significantly. , only 30 sets a day.
In order to make the sales volume look larger, Meng Haisheng added 20 more pallets. At the end of the day, Hou Yaxin counted and sold a total of 55 TV sets.
He was still very shocked by this data.
The state-owned stores selling new TV sets may not be able to buy more than this second-hand one.
When night fell and the second-hand TV store closed, Hou Yaxin went to Hou Bingde with full excitement.
"Second uncle, I went to the second-hand TV store and saw that they sold 55 sets a day. This business can definitely be done."
"The store you went to."
"On Dongbu Street. "
Hou Bingde nodded slightly. He did not ask Hou Yaxin to go to a more prosperous place, but asked him to find a store with less traffic.
No matter what business he invests in, Hou Bingde likes to look at the bottom line.
Even if he loses money, he has to have a bottom line.
The location of Dongbu Street is not very good. If the sales here are good, he can import second-hand TVs on a large scale.
But even so, Hou Bingde did not rush to open a second-hand TV store, but asked Hou Yaxin to go to various stores to see how they operate.
The next day, Hou Yaxin followed Hou Bingde's instructions. Then he went to various second-hand stores to learn.
While he was shopping, he saw a big truck unloading TVs in front of a second-hand TV store.
The truck was loaded with hundreds of TVs, which looked very spectacular.
Hou Yaxin was also smart. He walked up with a cigarette and asked the truck driver where all the TVs were shipped from.
The driver did not hide it from him and directly told him the address of Meng Haisheng's factory.
"We have more than 8,000 TVs in this batch, all of which are placed in Boss Meng's warehouse. I heard that Boss Meng did not have enough funds and wanted to sell off this batch of TVs recently."
The driver smoked the cigarette handed to him by Hou Yaxin and told Hou Yaxin about his own affairs in a low voice.
