Chapter 303 Go for it!
"Uncle Pan, wait!"
Ma Junjie gripped the MP4 tightly in his hand. The cold casing pressed against his palm, yet it burned his heart.
When he looked up, his eyes gleamed with a light—an ambition that had been suppressed for a long time but was now fully ignited.
"I think this business is viable!"
His words were resounding, and the crowd's expressions were complex, showing great astonishment.
Liu Xiong frowned and kindly advised,
"Ah Jie, what I originally meant was to introduce you to Uncle Pan so you could learn from him."
"You can't rush things in business... I still feel like MP3 and MP4 players are a bit unreliable..."
"Ah Jie, why don't you wait a little longer...?"
Ma Junjie seemed to have suddenly made up his mind.
To be honest, he never intended to go into business.
However, what Pan Hai brought gave Ma Junjie a glimpse of a vast potential.
He decided to take a gamble!
He held the MP4 player up to the crowd, his fingertips tracing the glossy black screen, his voice carrying a confident excitement.
"Uncle Liu, Bingbing, you keep saying that you can listen to music and watch videos on your phone, but what phone has such a big screen? And such clear picture quality?"
"Besides, Mr. Liu, Bingbing, you're using the latest model phones that cost several thousand yuan, with big screens. But many more people can't afford the new models; they're using feature phones that can't even play videos."
Ma Junjie's eyes lit up.
He then pointed to the silver-white MP3 player on the coffee table.
"And this one too, it's small and exquisite, you can just slip it in your pocket and take it with you. You can listen to whatever songs you want, no need to change cassettes, no need to lug around a bulky tape recorder. Even I myself am very tempted by it!"
"But the price..." Liu Xiong was still a little worried, pointing to the MP4 player.
"199 yuan is no small amount."
Ma Junjie smiled faintly and looked at Pan Hai beside him.
"Mr. Liu, the price is high, but we get a discount when we buy from you!"
"Uncle Pan, you just mentioned that there are discounts when buying goods from your company. How much exactly is the discount?"
"If the price is right, I'll earn less initially and focus on high volume; maybe there'll be a market for it!"
Pan Hai looked at Ma Junjie, his smile deepening.
He hadn't expected this young man to be so thorough in his considerations.
more importantly,
He saw a kind of drive and determination in Ma Junjie's eyes and tone.
Pan Hai smiled but did not answer him immediately.
Instead, he picked up the teacup from the coffee table and slowly took a sip.
He put down his teacup and then asked quietly,
"Ah Jie, you should think this through first, shouldn't you?"
"Just because this stuff is popular in Hong Kong doesn't mean it will sell well here. What if we end up with unsold stock..."
"I'm not afraid!" Ma Junjie interrupted Pan Hai, his tone resolute.
"I've figured it out: young people these days just love new and exciting things."
"I used to work in a toy factory. My roommate earned less than 1,000 yuan a month, but he was still willing to spend more than 3000 yuan to buy a mobile phone."
"These days, which young person doesn't want to be trendy?"
"Mobile phones can play music and watch videos, but they're expensive! They often cost thousands of yuan, not everyone can afford them. This MP4 player only costs a little over a hundred yuan, has a single function, and the picture quality is good. I'm sure someone will be willing to pay for it!"
Ma Junjie became increasingly agitated as he spoke, even shoving the MP4 back into Pan Hai's hand and then picking up the MP3 player.
"And this MP3 player is even smaller and more convenient."
"When I was in school, the kids of rich kids in the city used huge Walkmans and tape recorders to listen to music, which was very inconvenient."
"If they knew there was such a novelty, I bet they would be willing to spend four or five hundred dollars."
Seeing Ma Junjie's excited and impassioned tone, and his serious demeanor, Liu Bingbing couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Jie, you're really quick-witted. You were hesitating just now, how did you figure it out so quickly?"
"However, I must say, after hearing your analysis, it makes a lot of sense. I feel like this thing is actually quite plausible!"
Ma Junjie took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions, and slowly said,
"Bingbing, it's not that I've figured it out, it's that I feel Uncle Pan has brought us this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"If I miss this opportunity, I'll never have another chance. If I don't go out and try now, I'm afraid I'll regret it later!"
After speaking, Ma Junjie turned to look at Pan Hai, his eyes full of earnestness.
"Uncle Pan, just give me a straight answer! I want this stuff! How much would you like to offer?"
Pan Hai put down his teacup, finally wiping the smile from his face, and his eyes became serious.
He looked at Ma Junjie and slowly nodded.
"Good lad, you have vision and guts!"
"Since you're so sure and so sincere, I'll give you a fair price."
"MP3 players, wholesale price 50 yuan each; MP4 players, wholesale price 100 yuan each. You decide the selling price."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, not only was Ma Junjie stunned, but even Liu Xiong couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The purchase price is 100 yuan, and the selling price is 199 yuan, which means a profit of nearly 100%!
Ma Junjie's heart skipped a beat; he could hardly believe his ears.
"Uncle Pan, are you... are you telling the truth?"
"When I, Pan Hai, speak, I mean it."
Pan Hai patted Ma Junjie on the shoulder, his tone tinged with approval.
"Ah Jie, young people should be bold and do things!"
"I see a reflection of myself in you. If you keep up the good work, you will definitely surpass me."
Ma Junjie clenched his fists, his chest almost boiling with pent-up passion.
He nodded and said gratefully.
"Thank you, Uncle Pan. I... I will definitely do my best."
Looking at Ma Junjie's serious and confident appearance, Liu Xiong felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his brows gradually relaxed.
He looked down at the MP3 player in his hand, then at Pan Hai, and a few thoughts began to form in his mind.
He walked up to Ma Junjie and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Ah Jie, once you've made up your mind, I support you."
"Just like you said, Uncle Pan, youth is all about action. Whether it's good or bad, just go for it boldly, and I'll take responsibility for the consequences!"
Ma Junjie suddenly raised his head, stared at Liu Xiong, his eyes trembling slightly.
After a long while, he said emotionally,
"Mr. Liu, thank you so much!"
"I...I really don't know how to thank you..."
Liu Xiong laughed heartily.
Turning to look at Liu Bingbing, he said,
"Ah Jie, don't be so polite. From now on, we're family."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing's face flushed red instantly.
She said reproachfully,
"Grandpa, it's not even close to happening yet. How can you talk nonsense like that..."
"Hahaha!" Liu Xiong burst into laughter, then looked at Pan Hai.
"Brother Hai, you should understand, right? Ah Jie will be my grandson-in-law in the future, so you must take good care of him!"
Pan Hai nodded, a smile on his face.
"Brother Xiong, you don't need to tell me, I'll take care of it."
After saying that, Pan Hai looked at Ma Junjie and said,
"Ah Jie, let me give you one last piece of advice."
"To do business, you must seize the opportunity and act quickly."
"Many companies have their eyes on this market. Within a month, all sorts of brands will flood in. With so many people, it'll be harder to make money. You'd better hurry!"
Ma Junjie nodded vigorously.
"Okay, Uncle Pan, once I get the goods, I'll get started right away."
