"If you're not comfortable with that, you can put in the batteries and try it out right here!"
There were three people who squatted down to examine it carefully, and each of them was handed a battery.
Standing to the side, Ruan Mi began to enthusiastically introduce the radio to the three of them, praising it to the skies as if it were the best thing in the world, describing it in an incredibly flowery manner.
After several sweet calls of "Big Brother," two of the men quickly nodded and paid, satisfied.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate that he had the foresight to ask the Peach Sisters for help.
After all, he himself doesn't speak Cantonese very fluently, and he has never done anything like sales before.
I can never fully lower my stance when talking to people.
However, Ruan Mi is different. As a delicate and lovely girl, she can melt anyone's heart with just a few sweet calls of "Big Brother." Therefore, she can easily attract customers to make purchases, making her an undoubtedly very competent salesperson.
After accepting the payment from the two women, He Yuzhu smiled and said to the Ruan sisters, "As for the rest, I'll leave it all to you two."
Upon hearing this, the straightforward Ruan Tao agreed without hesitation:
"Sure, no problem! Just you wait and see!"
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Mi said softly:
“Mr. He, in my opinion, it’s not very cost-effective for us to sell them for 50 yuan each. Think about it, even the most basic and cheapest radios on the market sell for at least 70 yuan.”
He Yuzhu frowned slightly after hearing this, and then asked:
"So, according to your opinion, what would be a suitable price?"
"It should cost at least HK$60! It would be nice if it were a little cheaper than other brands, but this is way too cheap."
After thinking for a moment, He Yuzhu said, "Alright then, you can sell it for 60 yuan and let's see how it goes."
"Okay!" Ruan Mi readily agreed, and then started shouting at the top of her lungs.
It was the busiest time of the night market, and her cries instantly attracted the attention of many passersby, and soon a crowd gathered around.
When people heard that the radio was only 62 yuan, they were all surprised and asked all sorts of questions.
Faced with a barrage of questions from the crowd, Ruan Mi and her sister Ruan Tao were initially a little flustered, but thanks to their fluent Cantonese and their accumulated sales experience, they quickly regained their composure and handled the situation with ease.
The two worked together seamlessly, with one answering customers' questions about the product's performance and the other focusing on the radio's unique design and easy operation.
He Yuzhu, standing at the back, was working quietly like a diligent laborer.
He deftly took out radios from his large bag and arranged them neatly on his stall, promptly handing out batteries to customers who needed them.
In this way, the three of them divided the work and worked together, each fulfilling their responsibilities, making the entire sales site appear orderly and bustling.
Despite the price of the radios having risen to around 60 yuan, their high cost-performance ratio, coupled with the Ruan sisters' excellent sales skills and He Yuzhu's thoughtful and meticulous service, still attracted a steady stream of customers.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen radios were sold, and sales revenue soared.
Looking at the bustling and lively night market, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
He never imagined that the night market would be so popular!
Looking at the bustling crowds in front of his stall, eagerly buying various goods, he felt a pang of regret:
"Oh dear, I really didn't expect this. If I had known the night market would be so popular, I would definitely have started producing vacuum tube radios first!"
He knew very well that although transistor radios had many advantages, such as better sound quality and smaller size, their price was relatively high, and the profit margin was naturally higher.
However, the current situation is that tube radios are clearly more popular with the public.
After all, for most ordinary people, price is the key factor in deciding whether to buy.
It's worth noting that in Hong Kong these days, people's monthly wages generally hover around 200 yuan.
If you ask them to spend almost a month's wages to buy a radio, then you really have to think about it carefully.
In contrast, tube radios were much more affordable, costing only a quarter of their monthly salary.
So when faced with such an affordable price, many people don't even blink and pay without hesitation.
After observing and reflecting on things at the night market tonight, a brand new idea suddenly popped into He Yuzhu's mind.
He thought to himself, "If I could get a large batch of tube radios and sell them at the night market, I'd be able to sell a considerable number in no time! I'd definitely make a fortune!"
Thinking of this, an excited smile unconsciously appeared on his face, as if he could already see a lot of money flying towards him.
As for transistor radios, they can be sold overseas and are more suitable for middle-class users.
Like Jimmy Sha Trading Company, their products are not sold much in Hong Kong. The products that He Yuzhu helps them manufacture are almost all sold to Europe and the United States.
As He Yuzhu was thinking, the crowd buying things in front of the stall was suddenly separated, and then a few gangsters walked over.
"You little brat, you've been hiding from me for two days, but I've finally found you today. Be a good girl and come back with me to be a young mistress."
Chapter 518 The Night Market was a Success
He Yuzhu slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping casually across the room. He saw that the person walking towards him was none other than Scarface Liu, the one who had once relentlessly pursued Ruan Mi and ultimately been severely punished by him.
In an instant, He Yuzhu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile, and he said casually, "Oh ho, so it's you?"
At this moment, Scarface Liu was leading a group of his underlings to the restaurant for a meal. His sharp gaze pierced through the bustling crowd and landed directly on the beautiful and charming Ruan Mi, completely unaware of He Yuzhu hiding behind her.
So, this guy arrogantly parted the crowd and swaggered into the restaurant.
But when he saw that the person standing in front of him was He Yuzhu, he was struck as if by lightning, his whole body trembled violently, and his face turned deathly pale.
"No, no, no...it wasn't me!"
Scarface Liu stammered, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away like a startled rabbit.
However, He Yuzhu was not about to let him off so easily. A furious shout rang out: "Stop right there! Who gave you permission to leave?"
Upon hearing this rebuke, Scarface Liu seemed to be frozen in place, abruptly stopping in his tracks.
His scarred face was now filled with bitterness and helplessness, and he inwardly groaned:
"Oh my god, what bad luck! I've run into this tyrant again! He beat me up so badly last time, I had to apply several bottles of liniment when I got home, and my injuries still haven't fully healed. It's just like what I fear most has come to pass!"
He Yuzhu beckoned to Scarface Liu with his finger, signaling him to hurry up and come over.
Scarface Liu dared not be negligent in the slightest and walked cautiously to He Yuzhu.
Before he could even regain his footing, He Yuzhu launched a flying kick, seemingly without much force, but it landed precisely on Scarface Liu's buttocks, making the guy wince in pain.
Immediately afterward, He Yuzhu narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "What were you trying to do just now, kid?"
Scarface Liu, who had been kicked to the ground, scrambled to his feet as nimbly as a leopard.
He was burning with rage and wanted to settle the score with Ruan Mi, but reason told him that he must not reveal this thought.
Then, his eyes darted around and landed on the radios being sold on the ground. A thought flashed through his mind, and he said, "I...I actually came here to buy a radio."
Standing to the side, He Yuzhu naturally knew that Scarface Liu's words were pure nonsense, but since the other party had not done anything too bad this time, he couldn't just shout for him to be beaten or even cripple him without saying a word.
So, He Yuzhu simply narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Scarface Liu and asked calmly, "So, you often hang out in this area?"
Scarface Liu quickly put on a fawning smile and bowed obsequiously, replying, "Hehe, yes! This night market is practically my territory."
He Yuzhu nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, then pointed to Ruan Mi and her sister beside him, and warned them sternly:
"Alright, this is my woman, the so-called 'sister-in-law' you're talking about, and her sister. From now on, if those two sisters encounter any trouble or suffer even the slightest harm in this area, I will absolutely not let you off the hook. I will definitely chop you up and feed you to the turtles!"
Upon hearing this, Scarface Liu trembled with fear and quickly patted his chest, solemnly guaranteeing:
"Yes, yes, don't worry! I guarantee with my integrity that my sister-in-law and her sister will be safe and sound in this area, and there won't be the slightest problem!"
At this moment, when Ruan Mi heard He Yuzhu call her "sister-in-law" in public, she couldn't help but blush, her cheeks as delicate and beautiful as a ripe apple.
However, at this moment, she knew that it was not appropriate to refute him under these circumstances, so she could only lower her head silently, her heart pounding like a deer.
Ruan Tao smiled broadly and leaned closer to her sister, whispering a few words.
Ruan Mi's originally slightly flushed cheeks instantly turned even redder, as delicate and juicy as a ripe apple, as if you could squeeze water out of it with a gentle pinch.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, and he said softly:
"Then you should go quickly."
Scarface Liu, standing to the side, politely bid farewell to everyone, and before leaving, he even took out money to buy a radio.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead before turning and leaving.
Once they were gone, the once bustling stalls finally returned to their usual calm and order.
However, at this moment, He Yuzhu suddenly realized that business seemed to be even more booming than before.
After all, Hong Kong in the 60s had a vibrant nightlife, and even after nightfall, the night markets were still bustling with people.
The large black bag that He Yuzhu was carrying was initially filled with a total of 100 radios.
As time ticked by and the radios were about to sell out, he calmly and quietly took out a number of new radios from his special storage space and discreetly put them into his bag.
Meanwhile, the Peach Sisters, busy enthusiastically introducing their products to customers at their stall, were completely unaware of this.
Before we knew it, the clock had struck past 10 p.m. After several hours of hard work, the stall had successfully sold a whopping 120 radios!
At this moment, He Yuzhu raised his hand and patted his now empty bag, then said to Ruan Mi:
"They're all sold out! Look, this bag is completely empty."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mi's eyes widened in disbelief, and she exclaimed:
