Chapter 3 Money-back Guarantee
While Huang Yiliang and Wu Hao were busy and dizzy, they finally realized that something was wrong.
They came together as a group of three, so why are only two people working now?
Huang Yiliang and Wu Hao turned their heads at the same time, as if by telepathy.
Huang Haidong was posing against the door of his BMW, surrounded by a group of young girls.
"Sir, the muscles in your arms are really well-developed!"
"Uncle, what perfume are you wearing? It smells so good!"
"Uncle, I'm also a performing arts major. Take a look at my palm lines and tell me how long it will take before I have a chance to become famous."
"Uncle, you drive such a nice car, why are you setting up a stall?"
Huang Yiliang got goosebumps listening to the girls' affected, high-pitched voices.
"You guys don't understand. I set up this stall not to make money, but to make friends and give out freebies to everyone."
Huang Haidong's voice truly exemplified what it means to have a worthy opponent and a capable general.
The exaggerated, bubbly sound was so greasy it was outrageous.
Huang Yiliang looked around and found that no one had noticed the problem.
Is the "older man" aesthetic more popular now?
Huang Yiliang recalled carefully and realized that at that time, whether in movies or TV series, young, handsome actors with slicked-back hair were not very popular.
"My idol! This is what a true man should be like." Wu Hao looked at Huang Haidong with eyes full of admiration.
Huang Yiliang: "..."
The queues were already incredibly long, and Huang Haidong was still flirting with young girls; he was clearly not someone to be counted on.
"Hurry up and get to work! There are only about ten left. Once they're sold out, we'll have to register pre-orders!" Huang Yiliang emptied all the dozen or so players out of the box.
"Alright!" Wu Hao continued to roll up his sleeves and get busy, without even asking why Huang Yiliang wasn't shipping any more goods when there was still a box left in the trunk.
"Haven't received your student ID yet? So you're a freshman?"
"This event is only for senior students with student IDs. You can either buy it at the original price of 398 yuan, or borrow a student ID and I'll pretend I don't know anything," Wu Hao said skillfully, reciting his sales pitch.
"Those who can't buy it, please make way!" urged the senior student behind them in line.
The new students had no choice but to borrow student IDs from upperclassmen they knew.
"Huh?! It's you again. Aren't you from the propaganda department?" Huang Yiliang was stunned.
The guy in front of me just bought three of them by himself.
"Hey junior, let's get to know each other. I'm Yi Ran from the Journalism and Communication Department, a junior this year." Yi Ran said, quickly counting the remaining machines Huang Yiliang had.
"I'll take all 12 units. Buy two get one free, that's 8 units for 3184 yuan. Here's 3200 yuan, keep the change." Yi Ran paid as readily as ever.
"No, senior, wait a minute. You can't buy them all, and you've already bought them. This is very unfair to the other students." Huang Yiliang pretended to stop Yi Ran.
Yi Ran quickly stuffed the money into Huang Yiliang's hand.
"Junior, isn't it good that I told you to finish work early?" Yi Ran said with a grin. "If you have any difficulties at school in the future, just mention my name."
"Senior, this really won't work. We mainly want to experience working while studying, not to make money. Otherwise, we could just transfer the money directly to the retail store," Huang Yiliang said with a troubled expression.
"Senior, believe it or not, at the price we're selling it at, even those unscrupulous merchants in the electronics market can't get their hands on it," Wu Hao chimed in, skillfully choosing his moment to deliver a witty remark.
"I believe you!" Yi Ran chuckled.
In fact, this guy had just made a trip to the computer mall closest to the school.
The same MP3 player with 512MB of storage and recording function sells for 550 yuan in computer stores, but if you buy 10 at once, you can get them for 450 yuan each.
Yi Ran tentatively bargained down to 300 yuan per unit, and the shop owner almost chased after him with a knife to cut him.
Therefore, these two junior students are selling at an absolutely fair price, or even a ridiculously low price.
"Flammable, you bastard, get one running, or you're not leaving here."
"What do you mean 'run one machine'? Run three machines, you son of a bitch, you're a bastard too."
"When you asked us to join you in ordering together earlier, you called us 'beautiful Yao Yao' and 'beautiful Jia Jia,' but now you're only thinking about yourself."
The three senior students in line clearly knew Yi Ran.
Just as Yi Ran was about to run away, someone grabbed his shoulder.
He was tall, but Cao Digang was half a head taller than him.
"Brother Gang, Sister Yao Yao, stop messing around. This was purchased for our publicity department," Yi Ran explained with a bitter face.
He wasn't afraid of Cao Digang, but he was afraid of Bai Yao. Every man is afraid of Bai Yao.
Bai Yao is one of the very few women since the founding of the Communication University of China who can make a man cry in pain and even break down.
She is 170cm tall and weighs 170kg, and those numbers alone are enough to make anyone's heart tremble.
"Little Ranzi, obediently let San Tai out, or you'll bear the consequences." Bai Yao smiled gently, like a lady.
Wu Hao, always eager for a good show, encouraged her, "Senior, I support you, go get him!"
This guy is hostile to any man more handsome than him, including Wong Yat Leung.
"Shut up and get to work." Huang Yiliang quickly slapped Wu Hao.
He also knew Bai Yao, and of course, he was afraid of her.
Bai Yao's most infamous feat was when, during her sophomore year, one of her fellow villagers was harassed by a scumbag male teacher from the broadcasting department.
Bai Yao was incredibly loyal and stood up for her fellow villager. She took a megaphone and waited downstairs at the teachers' building to confess her feelings to the male teacher in a very cheesy way.
According to some students who were watching at the scene, the level of nausea was so intense that it made them feel both mentally and physically disgusted.
After Bai Yao confessed her love, she stayed by his side, shouting that she wanted to have his child and never be separated from him for life.
If she were good-looking, or even just average-looking, the school could probably suppress this scandal.
But Bai Yao's figure and appearance, which resembled Zhu Bajie's second aunt, were such a stimulating and heavy-taste thing that the news quickly spread to other schools.
Even before the school's disciplinary action was announced, the male teacher couldn't bear the humiliating stares of everyone and submitted his resignation.
After that, no one dared to provoke Bai Yao anymore, all fearing her confession and warning.
After all, confessing your feelings isn't illegal.
But the person being confessed to will die.
"Junior, if I register for a pre-order now, when will it be available?"
One of the female students was so angry that her breasts started to hurt when it was her turn to go and there were no more available. Both of them were in pain.
"Wait, how much is the deposit for the reservation? And is the deposit refundable?" The speaker was a cautious, chubby senior.
Huang Yiliang thought for a moment. He had expected his super low-price promotion to be a hit, but he still greatly underestimated the popularity of MP3 players among college students.
This guy immediately made an even more radical decision in his mind.
Hello everyone, senior students!
Huang Yiliang jumped onto the hood of the car so that the people in the back could also see him.
"I am a freshman at our Communication University of China this year. This is my first time working part-time and selling things, so I have no experience. Please bear with me, senior students, and I would like to express my special thanks to you all for your enthusiastic support."
"First of all, as you can see, all the MP3 players are sold out today. We can only accept pre-orders now. The pre-order amount is one dollar, and the deposit is refundable at any time."
"Of course, if you don't mind the trouble."
Huang Yiliang's words drew good-natured laughter from his senior brothers and sisters.
"The first 100 MP3 players ordered now will be delivered tomorrow morning. For those not in the first 100, delivery is guaranteed within five business days."
"Finally, to address everyone's concerns, all MP3 players sold through me, whether unopened or used, will be guaranteed as long as the device is in brand new condition, undamaged, and the instruction manual and packaging box are intact."
"Within three days of receiving the device, you can return it for a refund, regardless of whether you are not used to using it, feel that you bought it at a higher price after comparing prices in stores, your parents object to the purchase, or you suddenly stop liking it."
"In short, you can return the goods within three days without giving a reason."
"Junior, you're awesome." The senior students in line applauded Huang Yiliang.
It wasn't because Huang Yiliang was handsome, but simply because he let them have three days of free fun.
College students are quick-witted; they can return items within three days if they don't like them, which is equivalent to getting three days of free play!
This kind of consumer rights protection should be promoted nationwide.
Huang Yiliang chuckled to himself, "How about you check out 'seven-day no-reason return policy'?"
He wasn't worried about the return rate.
Starting with the second purchase of 12 machines by Yiran,
Huang Yiliang understood that as long as his goods maintained a huge price difference with the stores, returns would simply not exist, as scalpers like Yiran would profit from them.
In fact, some "clever" students have already sold the MP3 players they just snatched to their roommates for a markup of several tens of yuan.
However, when they returned a second time to "restock," they found that the goods were already sold out.
As for the warranty, this product does support mail-in repairs, it's just a bit of a hassle.
Most importantly, the firmware of MP3 players is very simple and rarely has problems. If it does break, it's usually the buttons that are damaged, but button damage is considered human-caused damage and is not covered under warranty, so you'll have to pay for the repairs yourself.
After receiving Huang Yiliang's promise of "three-day no-questions-asked returns," the students queuing to pre-order became even more enthusiastic.
The queues have become even longer.
In fact, Huang Haidong's BMW played a very important role here.
College students these days are still relatively simple-minded. They drive luxury cars, so they wouldn't cheat you out of a dollar for a reservation fee.
Huang Yiliang and Wu Hao each led a separate line, frantically registering reservation information.
By the time they finished, both of their right hands were almost cramping from writing.
