Chapter 302 Not Optimistic
Everyone's curiosity was piqued by Pan Hai's words, and they all turned to look at his briefcase, their eyes filled with surprise and anticipation.
Slowly, slowly…
Pan Hai carefully took two exquisite little items out of his briefcase and placed them on the coffee table.
It is small and exquisite, silver-white all over, and only the size of a few fingers;
The other one is about the size of a palm, with a glossy black casing and a huge, eye-catching screen.
As Liu Bingbing looked at it, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Pointing to the small object, she said with certainty,
"I recognize this! Isn't this an MP3 player? A music player, used to play songs!"
After speaking, she looked at the slightly older one, her brows furrowing slightly, her tone tinged with curiosity.
"The other one looks like a cell phone, but the screen is bigger than a regular cell phone, and it doesn't have many buttons. This thing is quite novel!"
Liu Bingbing looked at Pan Hai eagerly and asked,
"Uncle Pan, could you take a look at this?"
Pan Hai smiled and nodded, then handed the two little things to Liu Bingbing.
Liu Bingbing carefully took it, held it in her palm, and examined it closely. Her fingers gently stroked the smooth outer shell, and she clicked her tongue in amazement.
"Wow, this feels amazing! It's so much more refined than any other media player I've ever seen!"
Liu Xiong also came over for a look, a hint of surprise on his face. He looked at Pan Hai, his brows furrowing slightly, and asked, somewhat puzzled,
"Pan Hai, the thing you were talking about that would make you rich, is it these two little gadgets?"
Pan Hai burst into laughter, his voice booming, and said earnestly,
"Brother Xiong, don't underestimate these two little gadgets; they're worth a fortune!"
Liu Xiong stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous, clearly not believing Pan Hai's words.
In his view, these two small items were at most novel toys, how could they possibly be worth a fortune?
Ma Junjie was also very curious. He leaned closer, his eyes fixed on what Liu Bingbing was holding.
To be honest, I was already quite shocked when Liu Bingbing said that the small thing was an MP3 player, used for playing music.
In the countryside, all he knew was how to play songs on a tape recorder. A tape recorder also played cassette tapes, which was much more advanced than that.
There was also that huge screen, which Ma Junjie had never seen before.
He swallowed hard, his curiosity growing stronger. He looked at Pan Hai with a very humble and respectful attitude, and asked for his guidance.
"Uncle Pan, what exactly are these two things? Could you tell us about them?"
Pan Hai burst into laughter, and without further ado, he took two more identical items from his briefcase and placed them on the coffee table.
Then he picked up the small MP3 player and explained to everyone,
"Bingbing was right just now. This thing is called an MP3 player, and it's specifically used to play music."
"It's small, portable, and can store a lot of songs. It's selling incredibly well in Hong Kong right now; almost every young person has one!"
Liu Bingbing nodded, echoing her sentiments.
"Yes! I bought one when I went to Hong Kong before. It's so convenient for listening to music, much better than a portable music player!"
After saying that, she eagerly pointed to the huge screen and pressed Pan Hai for more information.
"Uncle Pan, what's that big screen? It looks so cool!"
Pan Hai put down the MP3 player, picked up the large-screen device, and lightly pressed a button on the side with his fingertip.
A moment later, the screen lit up.
The massive 3.5-inch high-definition screen lit up instantly, displaying a clear image to everyone's eyes.
At the same time, everyone's eyes lit up, their faces filled with shock.
Pan Hai cleared his throat, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, before slowly introducing himself.
"Listen up... This thing is called MP4, it's an evolved version of MP3."
"It can not only play music, but more importantly, it can also be used to watch videos and view pictures!"
He paused, pointed to the screen, and said with a hint of pride in his voice.
"Look how high-definition the picture quality is, and how big the screen is! The viewing experience is fantastic, even more enjoyable than watching on TV!"
Immediately afterwards, Pan Hai tapped the screen a few times to open a pre-saved video.
In the video, a majestic lion is hunting on the grassland. Its eyes are fierce, its jaws are wide open, and its sharp teeth are clearly visible.
The next moment, the lion leaped up as if it were about to jump out of the screen.
Ma Junjie watched with his heart pounding, his eyes wide open, and a surge of hot blood boiling in his chest.
This stuff is so tempting!
He stared intently at the MP4 player, his eyes filled with longing.
He took a deep breath, quickly turned to look at Pan Hai, and asked in a somewhat urgent voice,
"Uncle Pan, how much does this MP4 player cost?"
Pan Hai smiled, his sharp eyes fixed on Ma Junjie as if he could see through his thoughts, and slowly spoke.
"It normally sells for 199 yuan on the market, but you'll definitely get a discount if you buy from our company."
When Ma Junjie heard this, his heart skipped a beat. 199 yuan was indeed not cheap.
The average factory worker now earns only 1000 yuan a month.
All things considered, this little gadget is worth one-fifth of my salary.
However, Ma Junjie quickly calmed down. He reached out and took the MP4 that Pan Hai handed him, looking at it over and over, his fingertips rubbing the cool casing as he quickly made up his mind.
At 199 yuan, the price is a bit expensive, but compared to mobile phones that often cost several thousand yuan, it's incredibly cheap.
Moreover, this thing is so novel and has such powerful functions, it would definitely have a market if it were sold!
Hearing Pan Hai's earnest introduction,
Liu Xiong, who had been watching from the side, finally understood what Pan Hai meant by "big business"—it turned out to be selling MP3 and MP4 players.
He also took an MP3 player from Liu Bingbing's hand, examined it over and over, but his brows furrowed tightly, clearly not optimistic about the business.
He took out his latest smartphone, placed it next to his MP3 and MP4 players, pointed at the phone, and said with a hint of skepticism in his voice.
"Pan Hai, look, my phone may have a small screen, but it can still play videos and listen to music."
"These two things of yours can't make calls, they're expensive, and they don't have any special functions. A mobile phone can completely replace them."
"Brother, not to be a spoilsport, but I think this stuff probably won't have much of a market around here."
Although Liu Bingbing also liked MP4 players and found them quite novel,
But when it comes to actually using it to do business, she's not confident.
She nodded, agreeing with Liu Xiong's words.
"Yes, Uncle Pan, I think so too. Everyone has a cell phone now, so spending another 200 yuan on this thing is probably a bit unrealistic!"
Pan Hai simply smiled, showing no anger at their doubts.
He didn't offer much explanation, but turned to look at Ma Junjie with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and asked calmly,
"Ah Jie, what do you think?"
"Anyway, I've already told you. Whether you have any thoughts or not is up to you."
Ma Junjie fell into deep thought, then held up the MP4 in his hand and examined it again.
It has a heavy, solid feel, a refined and compact appearance, and a large high-definition screen.
Pan Hai also mentioned that the wholesale price could be reduced significantly.
Ma Junjie hesitated for a moment.
However, soon, a voice inside told me that this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Seeing that Ma Junjie remained silent, Pan Hai roughly guessed what was going on.
He shook his head slightly and smiled.
He reached out, ready to take the MP4 from Ma Junjie's hand.
"Ah Jie, it's alright. Young man, it's always better to be down-to-earth."
"hehe!"
Next second,
"Uncle Pan, wait..." Ma Junjie suddenly spoke up...
