Chapter 5 Spiritual Mentor Lin Chen
...
The plan to find a middleman was frustrated, so in the following time, Lin Chen took advantage of the young man's physical strength to go back and forth to those mobile phone shops to inquire and negotiate prices.
In the end, it took about half a day to finally get the amount he needed, a total of 43 mobile phones.
Among them, he asked no less than hundreds of shops, but most of them still rejected him.
After all, why should I sell it to you if I can eat all the profits by myself? Wouldn’t it be good to eat it all by myself? And they didn't know Lin Chen at all, they didn't know where this guy came from, and they didn't know if he was a trick.
So unless they buy too much, or there are other factors, they will consider making a small profit as a middleman.
In this way, he went to nearly a hundred mobile phone stores and got a lot of stares. Lin Chen barely bought 43 units, but getting a mobile phone does not mean stopping.
The next more important task is to disassemble those mobile phones for inspection and maintenance. Those that are difficult to repair are removed and put aside first, and those that are easy to repair are replaced and adapted, and finally the production of these 43 mobile phones is quickly completed.
As for the refurbishment of these 43 mobile phones, Lin Chen didn't plan to do it all by himself, and he didn't have to sleep at night alone.
So when purchasing the Nokia 5110 mobile phone, Lin Chen also met two apprentices on the way.
Of the two apprentices, one from Shandong is called Huang Hua who is brighter and the other is from Guangxi who is taciturn and called Chen Dong.
Both of them have a high school degree, and they are both young people who have come to Huaqiang with dreams for a long time.
For this kind of young people who have dreams and are willing to endure hardships, Lin Chen, who is very dark, also uses brainwashing words such as "be bitter before sweet", "it's always right to learn some technology", "become your own boss after learning technology", etc. .
Directly gave a basic salary of 300 yuan plus a follow-up variable bonus to accept two apprentices.
This basic salary in Huaqiang in the current era is equivalent to a basic salary of 1,500 yuan when the general monthly salary in the mainland of later generations is 3,000 yuan. To a certain extent, Lin Chen really has a dark heart.
Maybe Lin Chen's brainwashing words are useful for this, maybe they really want to learn some technology, or they want to learn some mobile phone repair technology first and then become their own bosses.
At the cost of 600 yuan a month plus a follow-up variable bonus, Lin Chen successfully obtained two hard-working workers named apprentices. With these two hard-working apprentices, Lin Chen can make even bigger hands and feet and earn more money. to even greater profits.
The two apprentices would definitely not be able to repair the mobile phone now, but it is not a problem to just ask them to dismantle the mobile phone and even the accessories mechanically in order.
In this regard, Lin Chen didn't just let others do the work without teaching them something. When Lin Chen asked them to dismantle it, he also told them what it was, why it should be dismantled and how to dismantle it.
And they are worthy of being admitted to high school talents, with their own talents plus the system's 15% learning speed and 15% bonus to work concentration.
When Lin Chen taught them, they knew almost everything, and they could quickly memorize the knowledge points Lin Chen said. For this, Lin Chen was a little surprised and applauded.
Lin Chen came from the later generation in 2023 and worked for BYD Electric Vehicle Company. He is a senior talent proficient in software and hardware. Whether it is mechanical electric or software programming chip, Lin Chen can tell a thing or two.
At this time, what he had in stock was not something these two apprentices could learn in a short time. Of course, they wanted to learn, and Lin Chen would not teach them those things that were beyond the age.
...
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the next day.
"Then why hasn't the young man come? I've been waiting for him for an hour."
"Could it be that the mobile phone is not sold? Although Huang He ran away with his sister-in-law, the remaining equipment should be worth some money.
It may be that those workers sold the equipment, so they don't come now. "
"I think there is a great possibility."...
At this time, more than a dozen passers-by were waiting for Lin Chen's arrival. Some people had been waiting for more than an hour, and some had been waiting for more than ten minutes.
But no matter which one it was, they all felt a little impatient, if they hadn't seen the Chenguang brand mobile phone with their own eyes, it was really good quality and cheap.
Then they really wouldn't spend a lot of time waiting for Lin Chen here, but even so they were getting a little impatient.
At this time, a passerby heard their words and asked curiously:
"Why did Huang He run away with his sister-in-law? What are you doing?"
Hearing the passerby's question, a potential customer who was waiting for Lin Chen suddenly smiled and said:
"It's about the Chenguang mobile phone. It is said that the owner of the Chenguang mobile phone named Huang He ran away with his sister-in-law who owed 20 million for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
And the remaining workers took out the remaining mobile phones in the factory to sell, and now the mobile phones that originally sold for 1,000 only cost 850, so we are waiting for the mobile phones here. "
The passer-by who heard the words nodded slightly, and then said disdainfully:
"It turned out to be like this. Although this phone is cheap, I don't know how the quality is. If the quality is too bad, I wouldn't even dare to ask for 100.
Moreover, the Chenguang brand sounds like a small brand. If you have the money, you might as well buy Bodao mobile phones and TLC mobile phones.
If you don't like domestic products, you can add a few hundred to buy the cheapest foreign brands such as Nokia or Motorola. "
At this time, the potential consumer saw the disdainful eyes of passers-by, and the potential consumer immediately frowned and said:
"Then I don't know the quality of Bodao and TLC, but I can trust the quality of this Chenguang brand phone, because I saw with my own eyes that it wouldn't break even when it was thrown hard in front of me!"
However, no one believed his words, and the passers-by just shook their heads slightly and prepared to leave.
But at this time, the dozen or so potential consumers suddenly started commotion, and the passers-by who were about to leave also stopped curiously to see what was going on.
On the other side, at this moment, Lin Chen's two apprentices asked Lin Chen with some shame:
"Master, do you really want to read it? Isn't this a bit too shameful?"
"Yeah, it's too shameful, I think it's better to sell mobile phones honestly."
Facing the words of the two apprentices, Lin Chen immediately taught earnestly:
"You can go a thousand miles without taking small steps. If you want to succeed, nothing is easy. If you can't even let go of a little shame, how can you realize your dream of catching up with the US empire in technology?"
"this……"
Lin Chen's two apprentices hesitated, and after a few seconds, the more cheerful Huang Hua gritted his teeth and said:
"Yes, if you can't even achieve a little shame, how can you realize the great dream of catching up with the US Empire in technology?"
Lin Chen nodded with a smile, and then slowly came to the stall he set up last time, and more than a dozen consumers on the opposite side were already waiting anxiously.
