C19 Having a Way of Thinking

"Dear home, isn't imported air conditioners too expensive? It costs more than eight thousand, this … Aren't you going to buy a video recorder and a color TV? I just bought the refrigerator, and I did as you said. I bought the imported ones, and the refrigerator cost more than seven thousand yuan. Can this air conditioner be replaced with domestic ones? "

A middle-aged man in his early fifties was carefully discussing with the woman.

Beside the uncle was a young man about the same age as a girl. Although the two of them weren't walking together, they would look at each other from time to time and secretly laugh. With a single glance, it was obvious that they were a couple.

Kang Ying understood that the two families who were going to get married had come to buy household appliances. She looked through the documents and said that there were three big things that must be found in order to get married:

In the 1970s it was watches, bicycles and sewing machines; in the 1980s it was refrigerators, color televisions, washing machines; in the 1990s it was air-conditioning, sound, and video recorders. By Kang Ying's time, it was the era of cars, houses and money. With the development of the times, these things were continuously developing along with the trend of the times.

Hearing the uncle say this, the woman became unhappy and said unhappily:

"I didn't ask you to use all the imported things, but now that everyone is using air-conditioning, and there's no imported air-conditioning in the new room, wouldn't the bridesmaids and brides wear their makeup when they get married on such a hot day?

The video recorder, refrigerator, air conditioner, and color TV are all imported pine and summer. We don't want all of them to be pine and summer. It's not too much to ask for just the air conditioner to be pine and summer, is it? "

The old man mumbled, and the word "chuan" appeared between his brows. Dark clouds also appeared on the young couple's faces, and the young lady went to grab the corner of her mother's clothes …

Kang Ying, who was listening at the side, was speechless. It seemed that no matter what era it was, it was not easy for ordinary people to get married!

Household appliances were a hard target for them now, let alone in the future. Just the house itself would have to be "ripped off" by the bank for the rest of their lives.

However, even though the atmosphere between the two families wasn't very happy, the employees of the home appliances department store never looked at them. No one took the initiative to introduce themselves.

No wonder, the employees are all employees of state-owned enterprises, they are paid a fixed salary, they sell an additional electrical appliance, they won't earn any extra money, and in front of the customers, they are always on a high pedestal.

Kang Ying suddenly recalled that even though the electrical appliances were still commonly used in the country, with Haier, Changhong and other domestic appliances starting to grow stronger, they also had a sense of brand.

And Wu knew that they eventually beat foreign brands in the market for good and cheap, becoming the pride of domestic brands.

If he could obtain the exclusive right to represent these appliances, wouldn't he be able to easily earn a sum of money? Because compared with overseas electrical appliances, domestic electrical appliances have the price advantage, compared with overseas electrical appliances generally cheaper by one or two thousand or more.

Don't underestimate these one or two thousand yuan. To ordinary people, this was an extremely strong temptation.

Kang Ying thought to herself that if she could steadily open an electrical shop in the county, it would be a good time.

Now that the spring breeze of reform and opening up had touched the earth, many people's pockets were slowly bulging and the people's desire for consumption was being released.

Kang Ying remembered that in her previous life, she had a distant relative who opened an electrical appliance store in her hometown. It was said that she had become the first millionaire in her hometown.

And if he could get exclusive rights to big brands like Haier and Changhong, then even if he waited for big brands to advertise themselves, he would still be able to steadily receive money from them.

After a while, even if she left the shop and asked someone else to help her, she would still be able to make the electrical shop function properly.

The more Kang Ying thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good idea. After all, there wasn't a single private electrical shop in the county right now.

A light flashed in Kang Ying's mind, and her excitement grew. You have to do something big if you want to, rent a large shop in a prime location, decorate it with high-end decorations, and hire some talkative, sweet-mouthed, and well-serviced waiters … and after-sales service to keep up...

Kang Ying's brain was working furiously. What she regretted the most was that she did not have a smartphone in her hands right now. Otherwise, she would have been able to record these thoughts by voice so that she would not forget them.

Kang Ying then wanted to find a place to record her inspiration. She didn't want to go to a coffee shop. She only needed 15 yuan for a cup of coffee and it was instant Nestlé. It was really a scam.

When she walked out of the mall, she found a freezer next to the supply shop. There was an umbrella in the doorway, and under the umbrella were a few tables and chairs for customers who came to buy ice bars and ice cubes.

In the middle of summer, eating an ice-cold ice bar was a type of enjoyment. Therefore, the ice storage business was quite popular.

Kang Ying walked up to the counter and asked, "How much are the ice bars?"

"Five cents for peanuts and milk, two cents for sugar." The one selling ice bars was a seventeen or eighteen year old teenager. He was suntanned and looked very smart.

When Kang Ying saw that there were still people selling ice cubes, she asked, "How much are they selling ice cubes for?"

"A bag of twenty."

The so-called ice cubes were pieces of ice that had been quickly frozen by the refrigerator. People who didn't have a refrigerator at home and wanted to eat the ice would come to buy it, and when they sold, the ice cubes would be taken away in plastic bags.

The current business of ice was due to the fact that the prevalence of refrigerators was not high yet. Buying ice cubes during the summer and going home to make ice honey water, cold tea and quenching thirst during the summer was one of the ways for ordinary citizens to enjoy themselves during the summer.

When Kang Ying saw that there were quite a lot of people buying ice cubes, she couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that there weren't many families buying refrigerators nowadays. Didn't the lack of something in the market prove that the market potential of this thing was great?

Kang Ying bought a peanut ice bar and sat down in a vacant seat under the umbrella. She then took out a notebook and pen from her cloth bag, sucking on the ice bar as she made notes.

Peanut icicles were made with ground peanut powder and had a strong peanut flavor. The flavor was pretty good.

Kang Ying subconsciously did this act of eating ice bars on the street without caring about their image. After doing this, she became calm. She was no longer the CEO who was above everyone else. She didn't need to maintain her dignified image as a CEO in front of the employees.

Kang Ying happily ate the ice cube, her thoughts flowing like spring water. She quickly wrote down a few business plans that she had thought of.

When she had finished writing the two pieces of paper and her mind was empty, Kang Ying put the notebook and pen into her bag.

Kang Ying saw that there was no trash can on the side, but there were quite a lot of ice cream paper sticks and sticks scattered on the ground. She hesitated for a moment, but she still picked up the ice cream stick, walked for a distance and threw it into the trash can.
