Chapter 317: The Bleak Home Appliance Market

After entering the home appliance city, Li Yi was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Unlike the home appliance market in Longguo, which was crowded with people, the home appliance market here was deserted, like a ghost cave.

In front of each store, there were only the boss and a few clerks.

Such a scene appeared in a home appliance city, which made Li Yi feel a little surprised.

And these bosses and clerks also looked at Li Yi with very surprised eyes, as if wondering why a Longguo person appeared here?

Li Yi looked around and came to a store of considerable size!

The owner of the store was a fat man, sitting at a desk, holding a magazine in his hand, and on the desk in front of him were two bottles of vodka and a can of canned food. The packaging of the can was printed with the words of Longguo, which was purchased by Li Yi and his team from China.

"Boss, is there no business recently?"

After hearing Li Yi's words, the boss finally reacted and simply sorted out the messy items on the table, then smiled and said: "It's been a long time, almost like this for the past few months!"

"Why is this?"

"There is no way. Now people with some money go to stock up, and generally not many people come to the home appliance city."

Li Yi nodded. The problems facing the Federation now can be regarded as the most severe in history.

First of all, in terms of economy, the exchange rate has fallen sharply, and the people's purchasing rate is gradually declining.

In addition, the development of the food industry and agriculture is not taken seriously, and the entire country has almost no way to be self-sufficient in food.

In addition, light industry has not received due attention in the following years, so the sales of home appliances have continued to decline. In addition, whether it can even guarantee the simplest food and clothing is a problem, who will go back to pay attention to the problems of home appliances?

This also gave Li Yi a great opportunity. As long as he could find a large-scale home appliance supplier, he could purchase a large number of Maozi's home appliances or technology!

Maybe he could even buy the entire company and develop it in China!

Li Yi smiled and said to the boss: "Boss, what are the prices of your home appliances here? Can you introduce them to me?"

First, we need to understand the market in detail so that we can make our own judgments based on the current situation.

The boss immediately became interested and thought that there might be a big business coming to the door, so his attitude naturally changed.

"Of course! Sir, please come this way!"

Maozi seemed to never care about things like store decoration. There was almost no ceiling in the entire store. You could see the exposed keel when you looked up.

Then there were several simple rows of shelves inside, and the electrical appliances were labeled with prices.

Li Yi followed the boss to the first row of shelves, which were full of medium-sized or small home appliances. Some of the home appliances were not even familiar to Li Yi himself.

The boss pointed to an oval-shaped appliance that was about 40 centimeters square and said with a smile: "This is a vacuum cleaner. The price is not very high, but it is very popular!"

"It is especially for people living in buildings, and the design is very novel. I believe you will definitely like it!"

Li Yi frowned. This vacuum cleaner looked strange no matter how he looked at it. It was completely different from the vacuum cleaners he saw thirty years later.

In fact, before he was reborn, Li Yi had only seen one vacuum cleaner in the 1990s, and he saw it in the window of the home appliance city.

That vacuum cleaner was a more serious square, which was nothing like the oval one in front of him.

But it doesn't matter. Maybe this style of vacuum cleaner will be more popular!

Seeing that Li Yi seemed to be somewhat interested in this product, the boss continued to introduce: "This vacuum cleaner is a product of our famous home appliance company RE. RE's appliances are very famous throughout the federation. The vacuum cleaner in front of you is one of their most proud representative works, and the price is fair. It only costs 600 rubles at present!"

600 rubles?

Li Yi frowned when he heard this. No wonder there are so few people coming to the home appliance city.

A vacuum cleaner of more than 40 centimeters costs 600 rubles. This is really not something that ordinary people can afford!

Let alone other things, it seems that the smaller the size of the home appliance, the higher the price.

However, this is also in line with the trend of the development of home appliances in the later period. Basically, the smaller the technology products, the wider the audience.

"RE Home Appliances Company? I see you have a lot of their products in your store. What is your relationship with them?"

The boss smiled and explained: "The relationship between me and RE Appliances Company is actually that of a distributor and a manufacturer, a kind of cooperative relationship!"

Li Yi nodded and walked around the store twice. He really found a very rare thing!

Camera!

The price of this kind of thing in Longguo can be said to have been hyped up to the sky. It is a joke if it is not several thousand yuan, except for this camera in front of you...Zenit 122!

This camera has always maintained a relatively low price, because it is launched by the public, and it has complete functions, excellent quality, and perfect shape. When it was first launched, it was almost popular in sixty or seventy countries!

Although the Russians pay attention to the development of heavy industry, they have a very special and unique feeling for cameras.

Therefore, the development of cameras has always been the focus of widespread attention. Zenit camera is one of the representative works. This camera gives many people who are interested in this area the opportunity to get started for the first time, because it is not only exquisitely made, but most importantly, it is cheap!

Li Yi looked at the cross-era work in the glass cabinet that truly represents the current level of the Federation's light industry, and asked with a smile: "Is this camera also a product of RE Jiaidan Company?"

The boss smiled and said: "Yes, but this technology is not theirs, but the Krasnogorsk Optical Machinery Factory, not far from here, just in the suburbs of Moscow!"

Li Yi smiled and nodded. It seems that RE Home Appliances Company is currently the most popular home appliance giant in Moscow, but this so-called popularity is only relative, right? After all, in this very embarrassing environment, the income of RE Home Appliances Company may not be comparable to that of its own home appliance city!

But it seems that I still have to talk to this company. As for this store...

To be honest, the business that Li Yi wants to do is too big, and this boss can't make the decision at all.

But before discussing with RE, I should discuss it with Qi Rong and others first.

So Li Yi smiled and said to the boss: "Pack this camera for me!"
