Chapter 782 Reselling
Brother Liu looked at the dozen or so local tyrants who had come from various cities and said, "It's not impossible to resell the tapes to you, but I shipped them from the south, and there are many checkpoints that need to be handled. The cost is not cheap."
The local snake from Shenyang was a bit impatient. It shouted, "Brother Liu, just tell us how much you want to sell it to us per plate."
Brother Liu lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I bought them for twelve yuan a plate. Adding in all the handling and expenses, the total cost is about fourteen yuan. I've taken so much trouble to transport these things here, so I have to make some money. After all, there are over a hundred brothers down below waiting for me to feed them. So I've set the price at sixteen yuan a plate and will sell it to you. As for how much you want to sell them for, I have no say in the matter! What do you think?"
The people sitting below were all shrewd people, and they didn't believe Brother Liu's claim that he could buy the goods for 12 yuan per plate.
The local tyrant from Changchun curled his lips and said, "Brother Liu, isn't it a bit unrealistic to buy cassettes for twelve yuan a piece? There are cassettes for sale in the market, but they're just not as good as this one. They only sell them for ten yuan a piece. You said the purchase price is twelve yuan, we definitely don't believe it."
Brother Liu smiled slightly. "Let me tell you this. In the past, the songs sold on the market were all military-themed. They were only for educational purposes, not for profit. The purpose was to let the public sing and understand the emotions of soldiers. The company that distributed this tape is a private enterprise. Their goal is to make money, so the price is definitely higher than those tapes in the past. If you think the price is too high, you don't have to buy it. I have some brothers who are idle all day, so it's a good opportunity for them to gain experience. It also saves me from worrying about their livelihood."
The hot-tempered local tyrant in Changchun said, "Brother Liu won't let us sell. Aren't you worried that Brother Liu's followers won't be able to gain a foothold in our city?"
Brother Liu stood up, flicked the hem of his coat, revealing the pistol Li Moer had given him, and said, "I'm not really worried about my people not being able to enter a city. At worst, I can go there myself and finish off those who are obstructing me.
When Brother Liu swung his shirt, the people below subconsciously looked at his waist. After seeing the pistol, they all fell silent. Some even had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
The local tyrant in Changchun suddenly became speechless. He was a little impatient, but he was not stupid.
He cupped his hands and said, "It was just a joke, Brother Liu, don't take it seriously. When your little brother arrives in Changchun, I'll definitely make sure he has smooth sailing. But Brother Liu, if you eat the meat, you should at least let the brothers have some soup, right? Could you please lower the price a little more?"
The remaining local tyrants also changed their big brother demeanor and nodded in agreement.
Brother Liu thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, since everyone is in agreement, then I will make less profit and sell it to you for fifteen yuan a plate. However, at this price, I really won't make much profit. In other words, I will lose money to gain publicity."
The group of people saw that it would be too late to continue to argue. He had so many subordinates under him, and at worst, he would let his subordinates sell him out. He really didn't dare to do anything to him, otherwise he would be dumbfounded if he was killed. He only had a few days of good life, and he didn't dare to joke with his life!
After agreeing on the price, Brother Liu was very happy. He could buy the goods for five dollars and make ten dollars per plate. His brothers didn't even have to sell them themselves. It was really a huge profit.
Brother Liu immediately arranged for his subordinates to prepare the banquet. When the local tyrants sat at the table, they were all shocked by Brother Liu.
The table was filled with chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables and seafood. The local tyrants from all over were amazed. They thought that being able to eat four dishes was already the envy of others. Look at the other people's strength, there is really no comparison.
There were more than ten bottles of Wuliangye on the table. Brother Liu filled a glass first, raised it and said to the dozen people, "Everyone has come from afar. I would like to offer a toast to you all."
After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. The dozen or so people picked up their glasses and drank them in one gulp as well.
