Chapter 40 I was caught

Ma Liang lost his temper: "Brother, I'm really here to purchase goods. Hurry up. Is there a product catalog? Don't let me look for it one by one.

I only want American TV series, and I don’t want other products. Are your American TV series incomplete?"

It’s not that he worships foreigners, it’s because these days only American dramas have some room for manipulation. Korean dramas and Japanese comics are sold everywhere.

And there are a lot of online resources, so who can make money from them?

Only American dramas are still a niche, the culture has not spread, and they can still be sold for a while.

"Brother, if we don't have all the geese here, you won't be able to find a more complete wasteland in the entire East China Sea." The fat boss replied arrogantly, "Here is the catalogue, you can choose whatever you want."

After saying that, he handed Ma Liang a booklet, which contained a product list of all movies and TV series.

Ma Liang took it and flipped through a few pages before finding the list of American dramas, so he started reading them line by line.

Not to mention, our big brother Hu Jianren has to be good at doing business. The supply of American dramas is really comprehensive.

Except for a few uncommon dramas, this [Awang Audio and Video City] has a complete collection of some popular American dramas.

Ma Liang asked curiously: "Boss, what do you call me? Why do you produce so many American TV series?"

"My friends all call me Awang! I'm not bragging to you, this is an exclusive source of goods that my son helped me get in Huaqiangbei, Pengcheng.

He said that this American TV series would definitely sell well in the future, so I would buy it and watch it.

If you go to other places to find them, they will never be as complete as mine." The fat boss explained proudly.

In fact, these pirated discs are not all so-called high-definition DVD discs. Most of them are videos downloaded from the Internet, then translated by a subtitle group, and then burned into compressed discs.

After all, some American dramas are still on the air but have not been released on genuine DVD, and even if you want to transcribe them, you cannot find the original copies.

Ma Liang smiled and refused to expose it. Selling American TV series can still make money in the past two years. In a few years, when broadband becomes popular and speed increases, everyone will download it and watch it. Who will buy the disc?

But that was two or three years later, so it doesn't stop him from making a quick buck now.

He then asked: "Brother Awang, what is the price for these American TV series?"

"Brother, all the discs are priced at 2 yuan each. The market price is, how much do you want to take?" Boss Awang introduced enthusiastically.

Ma Liang calculated in his mind that a set of American dramas might only have two or three discs, and most would only have four or five discs.

The cost of purchasing a set of American TV series should be about 6-10 yuan. With the little money he has left on hand, he can't get much. If he can't afford a few hundred sets, he should always leave some money for food.

But I can't tell the fat boss about this, I still have to bargain.

So Ma Liang pretended to be displeased and said: "Brother Awang, your offer is not sincere! I want more, please give me the real price."

"How much do you want?" Boss Awang became excited after hearing this.

Ma Liang stretched out a hand to signal but said nothing.

"500? That's too much?" Awang said disdainfully.

Ma Liang shook his head and said easily: "Tsk, it's 5,000 sets of American TV series, at least 20,000 to 30,000 discs."

"Young boy, please stop joking on a big weekend, okay?" Boss Awang obviously didn't believe that the young boy in front of him could have such strength.

Although tens of thousands of dollars is not much, it is not something that a student can easily get.

Ma Liang knew this would happen, and he did not forcefully explain: "Stop talking nonsense, do you want to do this business?"

"Let's do it. If you don't do business, you'd be a fool. If you really want such a large amount, I can give you one yuan and eight pieces." Awang replied very grandly.

Ma Liang was very dissatisfied when he heard this: "One yuan and five yuan."

"No, no, brother, I'm going to lose money for one dollar and a half, the minimum is one dollar and eight." Brother Awang bit him to death and refused to let go.

He didn't know if Ma Liang was deceiving people, saying that he wanted tens of thousands of tickets, but actually he couldn't get that much at all.

Ma Liang didn't waste much time and directly gave me a plan: "In this way, you can pay me one dollar and eighty for the first 2,000 pieces. If I take more than 2,000 pieces, you can pay me one yuan and five cent in the future.

I don't want to bargain with you too much. If we can succeed, we will cooperate. If not, forget it.

The worst I can do is get the goods from a few more stores, it’ll be a little troublesome at best, but it’s not like I can’t get everything together.”

"That's it." Boss Awang was very hesitant, but finally nodded, "Okay, how much do you plan to ask for today?"

Ma Liang still held out five fingers and asked with a smile: "Five hundred sets, can you deliver them to your door?"

"No, brother, look at me, I'm so busy, I don't have time to give it to you." Brother Awang quickly shook his head and refused.

Ma Liang was very worried: "Please help me, even if I send it to you at night.

Brother Awang, I am not joking with you, I really need to replenish the goods frequently, you will know after we work together a few more times."

"The best I can do is wait until I close the store and deliver it to you in a van, but it will be very late." Awang said reluctantly.

In order to do more business, he had no choice but to hope that Ma Liang did not deceive him.

Ma Liang then replied with satisfaction: "Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter how late it is. Thank you Brother Awang for your help."

"Where is the address?" Awang asked helplessly.

Ma Liang blurted out: "Songjiang University Town."

"Songjiang? If you don't want to go, you can figure it out yourself." Boss Awang regretted it on the spot when he heard that it was so far away.

Ma Liang could only lie: "Brother Awang, are you stupid?

There are hundreds of thousands of students in Songjiang University Town. Even if one tenth of them come to buy one, I can still sell more than 10,000 units and make no money at all?"

"Little brother, you want to fool me, you are still young, how could there be so many people buying it?" Boss Awang still did not fall for the trick.

Ma Liang had no choice but to persuade: "You will only delay more than two hours by sending goods, but you can get a potentially big business in return. Are you not willing to do this?

Okay, you can give it a try, and it won’t cost you two ounces of meat. What if it works?”

"You, if what you say makes sense, then I will give you a ride.

I made an agreement with you in advance, if it doesn’t reach the quantity you said, don’t blame me for raising the price afterwards.” Boss Awang did not hesitate to threaten.

Ma Liang waved his hand: "An Xin, I also want to earn more."

After paying a deposit of 1,000 yuan, choosing some representative classic American dramas, and leaving his contact information, he took the receipt and rushed back.

This trip was not in vain, at least the supply of goods was secured.

Although it may not be the cheapest source of goods, it is more stable and he is too lazy to look for other sources of goods.

I don’t plan to do it for a long time, so it’s not worth the effort just for the price difference of two to three cents.

More than two hours later, he returned to Songjiang University Town and was exhausted.

Ma Liang did not go back to the dormitory directly. Instead, he found a graphic printing shop in the commercial street and inquired about the price of making advertising roll-ups.

When the time comes to set up stalls to sell CDs, some posters will have a completely different effect.

Good guy, I was shocked by this question.

Design and typesetting plus printing costs will cost hundreds of dollars to make an advertising roll-up. It’s really a shady shop.

He immediately gave up the idea. He was just selling pirated discs and there was no need to make such a big show.

So I went to a stationery store and spent 60 yuan to buy two drawing board stands. Then I printed two posters on KT boards and hung them for display. Although the effect was not that grand, it was not much different.

Isn’t this more fragrant than a roll-up? It saves money.

The biggest headache now is poster design. He has no plans to design any advertising blockbusters. Publicity mainly relies on copywriting.

He already has the copy in his head, so he just needs to find some pictures to simply design it.

But the designer of the photo and text agency was dragged into the sky. Not only was the fee expensive, but the quality was probably not much better. Ma Liang didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Go back and post a post on the campus online forum and find a college student who knows graphic design. It only takes a little money to do it.

It would be much cheaper to just take the source files to a graphics agency and just print a few posters.

Ma Liang had just walked out of the picture and text printing shop, planning to go to the cafeteria to deal with the couple casually, and then rushed to tutor, when he was suddenly stopped by a familiar voice.

"Gua Wa Zi, what a coincidence!" It was Liu Feifei who called him.

Standing next to her was a young lady wearing thin black-rimmed glasses who was full of intellectual beauty. It was her roommate Yu Mo.

Although the graphics and text printing shop is closer to the student dormitory of East China Normal University, there is no one like this that I can encounter by chance.

Ma Liang was very surprised: "What a coincidence, you are also here to print documents?"

"Isn't there a print shop in your student apartment? Why come so far to print?" Liu Feifei asked curiously.

Ma Liang quickly replied: "The posters I want to print must be from a graphic agency, not an ordinary printing shop.

You guys take your time, I'm leaving first."

As he said this, he planned to leave in a hurry, but unexpectedly Liu Feifei had no intention of letting him go.

"You idiot, don't leave.

You were finally caught by me and you want to run away again? Don’t forget you still owe me a meal!" Liu Feifei said angrily.

This Fang Naoke seemed to be hiding from her when he saw her. Was he really afraid that he would kill him?

Is she that kind of person?

Uh, it seems so.

After all, the last time he bumped into me about raising fish in a coffee shop, there was no image left at all.

But she never thought about what she would do to the idiot in front of her. She was really angry to death.
