"I think it’s feasible!" Chen Xiting nodded, "But after all, this is foreign goods, which might not be easy to get, right? The cost is also high, so the price definitely won’t be low. I wonder if people who know about its effectiveness would believe in it?"
"Promoting it is the way to go!" He Zhilan declared, "I’ve decided to give it a try! I’m still young and I’ve got to take a gamble. If I succeed, I’ll be on the road to success. If I fail, the worst-case scenario is paying off debts for a few decades!"
"You sure are courageous!" Jiang Biyun commented, "Don’t you already make some money from selling hair accessories? We’re still students after all. Is it too risky to gamble on this?"
"Isn’t the greater the risk, the higher the return? I’m really short of money right now. I just think about making money as soon as possible, then bringing my elder brother to the capital for treatment and my dad to live in the capital. That way, our family can see each other whenever we want!" He Zhilan declared, "Wish me well! I’ve made up my mind! I’m going to discuss this with Lin Chan this afternoon!"
A woman of her words, He Zhilan went straight to Lin Chan’s company to find him after lunch.
When He Zhilan arrived at Lin Chan’s company, Lin Chan was in a meeting with his staff. After waiting for a half-hour, Lin Chan finally returned to his office. Seeing He Zhilan there, he walked in with a smile, "Distinguished guest!"
"Come on, don’t tease me. By the way, I just heard you discussing electronics with your staff during the meeting, what’s up with the electronics?" He Zhilan asked casually.
"Prices are going up." Lin Chan sighed, "These are all imports, and the suppliers overseas are raising prices. Plus, transportation costs have also gone up recently, so this has inflated our costs. We’re discussing raising our prices for our goods! However, the current prices for electronics are already high, so we’re quite worried that any additional increase will greatly affect our sales."
"Why are you just focusing on imported goods? As you said, when they raise prices, you can’t bargain, and transportation costs are high, not to mention the risk involved in transportation. Why don’t you consider domestic goods?" He Zhilan suggested, "I’ve heard from someone in a scientific research institute in C Province that domestic technology is developing in these areas as well. We won’t always have to rely on foreign imports to meet market needs. Your connections are good, take a look at which companies are engaged in their own tech development. You can get involved as a shareholder and provide capital. Once the technology has been successful, there will be domestic manufacturers in this industry. The price will definitely be lower than imported products. Moreover, our country’s economy is growing rapidly. As long as the prices are not high, everyone might just switch to using these domestic products. This provides a larger market, unlike imported goods, which can only reach a fixed market."
He Zhilan remembered that the domestic economy developed particularly fast, and in a few years, many domestic brands of household appliances would emerge. These offered good quality and affordable prices, quickly taking up the entire domestic market. As more and more domestic brands emerged, the prices became lower and lower, and these appliances became the most popular items in people’s lives.
"Also, this portable phone in your hand, there should also be domestic teams developing this technology. You should be able to find out with some inquiries. Pay more attention, and once their technology matures, buy it if you can. If you can’t buy it outright, you could invest in them and be a major shareholder. These gadgets would be a big market in the future!"
