Chapter 36653667【Luxury and Poverty】
Hearing that Xiang Nan’s set of speakers was worth so much, Rui Xiaodan was stunned.
She originally thought that Xiang Nan was a sensual and prodigal son who enjoyed eating, drinking and having fun. Later, I saw that he ate instant noodles three times a day and was reluctant to install an air conditioner in the hot summer. I felt that he was a down-and-out businessman.
But now I heard that his stereo set alone was worth more than 400,000 yuan, which was much more expensive than the house he lived in now. I couldn't help but be surprised.
“Is it really that expensive?” Rui Xiaodan asked in shock.
Ye Xiaoming nodded, "KTA is one of the most famous speaker brands in the world, with a history of more than 50 years. The price of a pair of KTA47 is 58,000 yuan, which is absolutely true. You can buy Mr. Ding's speakers directly It can be understood as two pairs of KTA47, even if calculated as a kit alone, it would cost at least 100,000 yuan."
“A pair of small speakers, one hundred thousand?” Rui Xiaodan was shocked.
She really didn’t expect that a pair of speakers could be so expensive.
Ye Xiaoming picked up a strip power socket and said: "He used two Alna audio power supplies. Just understand it as this socket. The delivery price of an Alna audio power supply in Guangdong is 21,000 yuan, and Yanjing The delivery price is 23,000 yuan, while you can buy one of the domestic ones for 400 yuan, and the best ones cost only a thousand yuan."
“Twenty thousand yuan for one socket?” Rui Xiaodan was simply unbelievable.
“Oh my God.” Rui Xiaodan murmured and exclaimed, and at the same time he understood why Ye Xiaoming called Tian.
She thought that if Xiang Nan had noticed her thoughts that night, and if what he said at that time was not "get tens of thousands" but 400,000, then everything that happened later could have been avoided.
The set of speakers Xiang Nan uses is equivalent to the lifetime salary of an ordinary person. What a luxurious act.
Lesheng is the best HiFi audio brand in China, and Ye Xiaoming is their agent in the ancient city.
After all, Rui Xiaodan is a person who fights at the tip of a knife and at the point of a gun, and has a good psychological quality. She quickly adjusted her mentality, faced the reality, thought about it calmly, and asked, "Can I buy the Le Sheng flagship kit?"
Ye Xiaoming put down the socket, picked up the piece of paper, looked at it and said: "His CD player is an Alna top-level split machine. The price is 60,000 yuan. The Alna front-end is 40,000 yuan each, and the Alna rear-end is 50,000 yuan." Yuan, if you include wires and wires, I estimate that 450,000 won't be enough. Even if he has a way, it will cost at least 400,000."
Rui Xiaodan suddenly felt embarrassed. He could neither stand nor walk. His self-confidence was severely damaged.
“It is said that literature is like a person, and those who play music have a voice like the person, including culture, magnanimity, and financial resources.” Ye Xiaoming sighed, “This Mr. Ding is really not an ordinary person.”
The longing of her soul, the painful ideological struggle she experienced, her suspension from work to reflect on this set of speakers... In the end, it turned out to be such an embarrassing result, how ironic!
Although she understood Xiang Nan's statement of "getting tens of thousands" and knew that if he really said "four hundred thousand", he would be deliberately showing off in front of the lady, she still cursed in her heart angrily: Brat!
…
One socket costs 20,000? ! What a luxury.
“That’s no problem, I’m still Lesheng’s agent now.” Ye Xiaoming nodded.
That's why he attaches so much importance to Rui Xiaodan, a big customer.
“If I copy Mr. Ding’s audio model and configure it for me using LeSheng’s flagship kit and Slack pre- and post-amplifiers, do you think it would be difficult to make a homemade cabinet?” Rui Xiaodan asked again. “A lot of audiophiles make their own speakers. They focus on sound quality, but the appearance is definitely not as good as professional ones. If you can accommodate the appearance and give more profit, I think there will be no problem in operation.
It just takes time and effort. I have to find a skilled carpenter to make the cabinet, and the cabinet will definitely have to be paid several times, because the calculated cabinet volume will be different from the actual optimal volume for listening. "Ye Xiaoming nodded.
"I don't understand audio technology, but you can always copy what's going on, right? Both the Lesheng flagship and KTA47 use five-inch speakers. You don't have to design them. The speaker position, cabinet length, and board thickness are the same as Mr. Ding's speakers. That's fine, I don't mind if the paintwork is a bit different." Rui Xiaodan added.
“How much can you pay?” Ye Xiaoming asked.
“You are the seller, you have to ask me.” Rui Xiaodan looked at Ye Xiaoming and said.
“Okay, to be fair, I can make at least one thousand and fifty dollars by selling a set of 10,000-yuan ones. You have two sets of 10,000-yuan ones, so I still have to work hard.
I think this way, I will give you the equipment and speakers at the original cost price, and I will not add a penny to my conscience. On this basis, you can give me a remuneration of 4,000 yuan, and I guarantee that the speakers will satisfy you.
Although it’s a bit troublesome for me, it’s also suitable for me to make money and try out technology. If you agree, you have to give a deposit of one thousand yuan first. "Ye Xiaoming then said again.
"Okay. You draft a simple contract, and I'll sign it and pay the deposit tomorrow morning." Rui Xiaodan agreed readily.
"No problem." Ye Xiaoming nodded and suddenly said, "I have something else to tell you."
“What’s the matter?” Rui Xiaodan asked.
"I don't know if you are friends with Mr. Ding, but he must be in trouble now. He may have encountered some difficulties. Let me tell you." Ye Xiaoming said.
Rui Xiaodan asked in confusion: "How do you know?"
Ye Xiaoming handed the record to her and said, "Take a look at this record first, and look carefully."
Rui Xiaodan looked at the front cover and back cover, nothing happened. When she opened the record again and looked at it, she saw that there was a personal seal with the word "Yuan Ying" on it. She had seen this seal on "Daughter of the Kingdom of Heaven".
While she was looking at the records, Ye Xiaoming brought several more records from his own collection from the back room and opened them one by one. All of them had the word "Yuan Ying" stamped on them.
He explained: “These were all bought from Gudao Audiophile Record Store. The owner of the store is also an audiophile. An acquaintance went there for 80 yuan a piece and the retail price was 100 yuan a piece.
People in the circle are also wondering, where did he get so many records for his collection? I understood it as soon as I saw the record at Mr. Ding's house today, so I borrowed one for comparison.
If Mr. Ding’s name is Ding Yuanying, that would be correct. If a record is stamped, it is a beloved thing. Who would be willing to sell it unless absolutely necessary? "
Rui Xiaodan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she almost burst into tears. This story was so sad. That is to say, Xiang Nan is in such difficulty that he has to sell his records? !
This accidental event changed her impression of Xiang Nan. She thought of Xiao Yawen's words again: With my intelligence, I can't understand this kind of person.
She said in her heart: This guy still has some personality!
