Early the next morning, Huazhuangbei, Seger Electronics Market.

Liu Qiang, who runs an electrical appliance company that mainly deals in products such as walkman, CD and game console, just opened the rolling gate to prepare for business.

He is not a retailer here, but a wholesale business. The entire Seg Electronics market is mainly wholesale, so there are almost all night long outside the market full of trucks waiting to pull goods.

Not long after the door was opened, Liu Qiang looked sharp-eyed and saw Ma Weiguo and two of his subordinates patrolling the field.

"Oh, Ma Suo is back. Thank you for your hard work. I went to the provincial capital for further study. My spirit is different. Come and eat a popsicle." Liu Qiang was very capable of opening the freezer in the store and handed over the best chocolate crust cream popsicle.

There are not many freezers in the electrical appliance store, and Liu Qiang also wants to entertain large customers or suppliers sometimes.

"You have a good business here. So many cars are parked outside to get goods?" Ma Weiguo asked a little dissatisfied.

Liu Qiang didn't want to say anything at first, but after thinking about it, he decided not to offend the current manager, so he went over and lowered his voice to explain:

"Some of them are foreign second-hand mobile phones. Since the country relaxed the import of licensed goods last month, the demand has been too high. I heard that the factory in Hanle Electronics has not been enough to allocate 100,000 licensed goods to dealers a month.

There are so many dealers in small cities, so they feel so expensive that they renovate their phones, eliminate their second-hand phones from abroad, and sell them cheaper, so there are more people who want them."

Ma Weiguo was going to be arrogant, but when he thought of the serious matter, he gritted his teeth and straightforwardly:

"If you are honest, you won't make things difficult for you. I'm here today. Your son lent my son a learning machine to learn English history and geography. I've seen it really well. I can't make mistakes and lend you self-employed things, so I'll buy it. I heard that the original price is 1,500."

"Yeah, the kids borrow money, how can you ask for money?"

"Did you want to frame me and make a mistake?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it really can't be counted as 1500. This is a second-hand product, the rules of the game console industry, it's 80% new if you open the packaging. And before lending it to your house, my son had been playing for a month and was tired of playing it. This can only be counted as 60% new. Let's do it, and you'll count 1000."

This is indeed fair. If these people knew the algorithm of game console depreciation rate on later generations, they would definitely be able to lower the price.

In this era, only those who are in the society are more likely to have bad people.

After the two parties made a deal, Ma Weiguo took a few more glances at Liu Qiang's store out of professional habits. He was originally just unintentional to look at it, but a label similar to a poster caught his attention.

"Please show your ID card by purchasing a study machine? What does this mean? You self-employed people dare to check the ID? Who gives you the power!" Ma Weiguo immediately raised his face.

These days, checking people's identities is a matter of tolerance. When staying in a hotel and buying train tickets, the situation of letters of introduction was gradually reduced in the south after 1984 years, and the ID card was not checked, leaving a vacuum window.

When Liu Qiang heard this, he knew that he had violated the other party's taboo and quickly handed over a cigarette and explained: "You misunderstood that I wrote "please"? It's not that I have to show it. Where can we dare to interfere in our small business?

This is really what the superior dealer means. It is said that the senior management of Tiankun Company has taken care of by level-by-level care. It is best to protect minors. In principle, it is best not to sell game consoles to people without ID cards. Dealers at all levels must follow the warnings they said. Sometimes they will send people to market research and collect feedback. If we don’t do it, we may not get the goods."

There is no doubt that the request they were talking about was ordered by Gu Ao to Shi Yu Zhugan.

The newly established Tiankun mainland marketing department represented by Shi Yuzhu was of course very frankly opposed at the beginning and tried to persuade the boss to change his mind. In their opinion, this is an impact on performance, and the country doesn’t care about it. What are you worried about when you eat carrots and eat them lightly?

But Gu Ao insisted on this requirement.

However, the required standards also vary. Gu Ao took the initiative to propose that he would not sell it to people without an ID card, rather than saying that he was "over 18 years old."

This is also in line with the context of the times.

First of all, the domestic "General Rules" have just been promulgated for a month and will not be officially implemented on January 1 next year.

Secondly, the general requirements for "civil capacity" clearly state that "if you are over 18 years old and over 16 years old and who are mainly based on personal labor income, they are considered full civil capacity."

Gu Ao felt that it was nothing wrong to follow this idea and set his own corporate standards.

In the late 1990s and even the 21st century, you were basically required to go to college to find a job if you were an individual. However, in the 1980s, there were many people who went to work after graduating from junior high school, and even less than half of them were in high school.

Gu Ao always believed that 16-year-old students should not be greedy for playfulness and indulgence because they failed to support themselves and their mentality was not as good as self-reliant. Moreover, their future has not yet been established and there are various possibilities for development. At this time, giving them a game console can be considered indirectly harming others.

But if you are a 16-year-old worker, why don’t you let others play game consoles? The trajectory of others’ life has been set. Although the possibility of a bright future has been compressed, you can at least work hard and support yourself for the rest of your life. Is there no problem if someone wants to enjoy life at the same time?

Playing games will not make people even worse than workers.

Therefore, the situation will be different if the time changes.

Gu Ao's ideas are very far-sighted. He hopes to allow the industry to develop healthily and be self-disciplined from the beginning.

However, there are not many people who can understand his ideas at the moment. Those who want to make money have their own thoughts and cannot be completely strict with themselves. Many distributors from other places rely on Tiankun's marketing department staff to completely shed sheep.

At the same time, the purchasing power environment in 1986 also made many people feel that this regulation is actually unnecessary: ​​this is not the time when the Little Overlord Model appeared in 1992.

In later generations, the per capita wages in first- and second-tier cities were 400 to 500 yuan, and a small bully was only 300 to 400 yuan. Minors may save pocket money for one or two semesters, and they may also buy them secretly.

The per capita salary in 1986 was at least half, or even two-thirds lower than in 1992, while a learning machine price was 1,500. How many naughty kids can save money to buy a game machine by themselves?

So even if you don’t care, at least 95% of those who can afford to buy a game console are adults who make money by themselves, and 5% are children who get rich first.

Just like many people in later generations think that in 2000, in addition to curious about online dating, other netizens seem to be much better in terms of conversational qualities and social cultivation than in 2010 and even 2015.

Some people who don’t know the truth will say rudely that “the quality of netizens born in the 1970s and early 1980s is really high, but later the generation of people born in the 1990s and 2000s is not as good as the generation” is of course wrong. The truth is that most of the people who can afford to go online in 2000 are rich and have avant-garde ideas.

20 years later, the Internet is already something that the whole nation can access. If you really pick out the part of the 1970s and 1980s who just learned to access the Internet in 201x and have Internet access, you will find that their qualities in all aspects are similar to those of the late 1990s and early 200s who just entered the Internet during the same period.

By the same token, if you go back to 97, 98, then you are playing bbs, see which one is not a cultural person.

In fact, few people who bought game consoles in 1986 have bad social problems, and they can’t afford to play bad social problems.

Using hardcore games like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as the starting point for domestic promotion of learning machines, it has curbed potential users with full minds and oriented the initial tone of the product to the rational end.

...

In this context, not to mention the distant future, there are many distributors who are lip service to the wholesale and goods sold on Huazhuangbei and Seger Electronics.

After learning about the situation at Liu Qiang's stall, Ma Weiguo became more curious about the big bosses who had a sense of social responsibility in Tiankun. He followed the trend and walked around Seger Electronics a few more times and found that in addition to Liu Qiang, there were many merchants who did not follow the entrustment promises when supplying Tiankun.

But these are not related to industry and commerce. They are just small breaches between operators, and industry and commerce are not easy to deal with.

After a round of the entire market, when he returned to Liu Qiang's store, Ma Weiguo saw an amazing scene.

A bald man wearing sunglasses seemed to be low-key, but he was following many strong subordinates who were questioning Liu Qiang.

This is nothing strange in itself, but the key point is that Ma Weiguo vaguely recognized that the guy wearing sunglasses was also the one he had been detained when he was working in other relevant systems a few years ago.

"Isn't this Shi Yuzhu? I heard that after he came out, he went to Xiangjiang and defected to some big boss. Could it be Tian Kun?" Ma Weiguo couldn't help but think.

Shi Yuzhu has been very low-key for the past three or four years. He is the kind of existence that only makes money and does not show his face.

Tiankun Company, who is crazy about promoting Shurhof in the United States, and Gu Ao in other markets.

But this is also normal, because a person who has had a disgraceful experience always needs to be low-key for several years. Therefore, Shi Yuzhu can only make money in a low-key manner in this era when information is not very smooth, but no one he once knew knew about his current situation.

Shi Yuzhu also saw him, and he said hello to him with confidence, and then walked away proudly.

After the other party left, Liu Qiang wiped his sweat and said luckily: "Brother Shi came to check the dealers. He found that several companies did not do as required by Tiankun. There was no warning that people without ID cards were not allowed to buy games. Brother Shi removed their distributor rights.

I was a blessing in disguise. We were a man with our duty and got the distribution rights of Lao Wang and Lao Yu. Alas, I still couldn't hold my head up, for fear that I would be afraid that I would know his early history and would exclude me. I didn't expect that with Boss Gu, I could get so big. We can have a fairy and a chicken or a dog in the troubled relationship with Brother Shi."

After hearing this, Ma Weiguo was even more moved: A person who has been in has classmates because he has been in any of Gu Ao's subordinates, and he can also achieve this.
