Chapter 1906: I don't fry shoes

"Ligger, how did you let go of those guys just now?" Wowen looked puzzled.
Xiao Peng explained: "I know the aunt of one of the boys."
Warvin grinned smirkly.
Xiao Peng pointed out his to him: "It's the girlfriend of my buddy friend. The relationship is pretty complicated, but one thing is for sure. The'Samuel and Samson' cigars you smoke now were produced by his aunt's house."
"What?" Warvin looked at the cigar in his hand: "Ligger, a lot of people are looking for this cigar now, you tell me this, are you afraid to leak it out?"
"I'm not afraid at all, because this cigar will only be supplied to me. Only the one you get from the company below us is real. Even if you go to their factory and get the same cigar, it's a fake. I mean you know. Right?" Xiao Peng said cheerfully.
Warvin nodded: "Of course I understand, it's just like the same AJ shoes, even if you copy them out of the exact same thing, they are not genuine."
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers: "BINGO, as long as the cigars are not from us, they are all counterfeit goods. This is the case in the luxury goods market."
Warvin smiled and said, "Hey, speaking of sneakers, I will give you a gift."
Xiao Peng said speechlessly: "Isn't it your Owen sneakers again? Now the people on our island wear your sneakers for work."
By the way, don’t look at Warren as the top star in the NBA, but his ability to sell shoes is not to be underestimated. In the entire NBA’s Nike global signature shoe sales, he ranked second for three consecutive years, second only to LBJ. And his sneakers are the only one in the top five series that still maintains an upward trend. And if it is only in North America, his sneaker sales are the first.
Every time he puts out new shoes, he will send them to Xiao Peng, and Xiao Peng is not a shoe-controller, nor is he a centipede. He can't wear so many sneakers, so he distributes the shoes to everyone.
After listening to this, Wowen widened his eyes: "Ligger! I gave you those shoes for collection! They are all limited editions of joint models! There is room for appreciation!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Wowen, I know what you said, fried shoes! But in my eyes, if the shoes are not worn, there is no meaning."
What is the most profitable business in the last ten years?
If you ask the Chinese people, you will definitely answer in unison: real estate speculation! In the past ten years, housing prices across the country have risen nearly twice on average, and housing prices in places like Imperial Capital and Magic Capital have risen five or six times!
But this is really not the most profitable business. What is the legal and profitable business now? That's fried shoes!
Just like back then, Li Ning and Wade sold a pair of sneakers after signing a contract. It was priced at 1,000 yuan, and only a few months later, these could sell for 40,000 yuan! Still second-hand. In less than a year, it has skyrocketed forty times!
Such examples are really not rare. No matter what kind of sneakers they are, as long as they are linked to the ‘co-branded’ ‘limited sale’, it means that there is an opportunity for speculation.
For example, AJ used to cooperate with the trendy brand OFF-WHITE to design a joint sneaker called OFFWHITE-AJJordan1. When it was sold, the price was 1499. As a result, the price reached 12000 within a month. Among them, the red, white and black AJ1, The price has soared to 70,000 in just two years! The increase is over 4500%! Does real estate speculation make money?
Last year, Travis Scott and AJ collaborated on a pair of 1299 sneakers. This year it has reached 20,000, and it continues to rise; Anta and Klay Thompson jointly launched a sneaker called KT3-rocoo, worldwide Limited to 300 pairs, although Anta can only be regarded as a second-tier brand in the world, this pair of shoes has risen by more than 2000% so far. These years, middle-aged people speculate in real estate and young people speculate in shoes.
When the scalpers arrive at the limited sale of sneakers, they queue up in advance and sell them directly after they buy them. With their eyes closed, there are thousands of dollars in their pockets. Such a scalper party can be encountered in almost any country in the world.
Some sneakers are pre-sold online? People don't worry about it. They directly use technology to snap up tens of thousands of accounts and make a fortune when they get it.
Just like at the end of last year, a joint brand of AJ shoes was put on sale in Kunming. A Northeast speculator went directly to Kunming by plane and temporarily hired fifty uncles and aunts to queue for him. Each person cost 200 yuan. As a result, there were only 26 pairs of that shoe in Kunming, and he himself ate 21 pairs. Does he really love these shoes? No, what he wants is the profit this shoe brings.
In fact, these can be regarded as a little trouble. The dealers who sell a shoe directly increase the price and scan the goods in batches. They spot a shoe, regardless of its size and color matching, directly at a premium of 30%. The above open acquisitions, and then increase the price as you like before shipping.
Look down on sneakers? At present, the total scale of the global brand sneaker second-hand market exceeds 50 billion US dollars! And now the total amount of global arms trade in one year is only more than 300 billion US dollars! This is big business!
Wowen said helplessly: "Ligger, how do you feel that you are not interested in the shoe-making business?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "A bubble is a bubble. How many of these shoes are really bought back to wear? Just like Bitcoin, only a few people are the real demanders, that is, the celebrity's stock-carrying effect. Kanye’s coconut shoes, those celebrities will show off their coconut shoes in various public occasions at the first time, so that many young people will follow up. If you analyze carefully, those sports brands have greatly increased their popularity through limited hype. , Just like AJ has now become a sub-brand of Nike that represents'high-end'; and those endorsing stars use their reputations and shoe factories to sell new shoes, making money and making famous; those speculators and dealers for a year Hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars were earned; those so-called "identification trading platforms" earned intermediate fees; and those fake shoe factories, all of which made a lot of money. Who is the unfortunate one? That is the cost There are a large number of young consumers who buy these shoes at a premium. In order to follow their idols and show their individuality and financial resources, they can’t grab shoes with those scalpers. They can only risk buying fake shoes to buy second-hand shoes and wait for them to grow older. After the psychology matures, regrets are beyond reach, but who is to blame? It is their needs that feed so many intermediate links."
Wowen said speechlessly: "Ligger, what you said to me seems to be wrong, right? I'm the star endorsing sneakers! My limited-edition joint sneakers are the best sold in North America, but you just said fake shoes. I have really experienced this. Someone once asked me to sign with fake shoes. I was very helpless. Should I sign or not?"
"Can you still get fake shoes?" Xiao Peng was taken aback after hearing this.
Wowen shook his head directly: "I can't tell it at all. But every time I sign, an expert sent by the shoe factory is responsible for testing whether the shoes are genuine or fake. This is to prevent this.
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "I tell you, nine of the ten pairs of fake shoes in the world are from China Putian, and among all AJs in the world, there is a pair of Putian in every three pairs! No exaggeration. , There are only 300 pairs of sneakers in the world, and you can find 200 pairs in any university of Huaxia! The great ideal of our Putian people is to make the whole world wear famous brands. I tell you, don’t underestimate our Huaxia Putian’s fake shoes are made more real than real shoes! Not only the shoes are made of real shoes, but also the product receipt to the authentication QR code can be in place in one step! The latest official models are not available yet, Putian is already available! Want to sort out their fake shoes? Let the experts of your shoe factory come to you, and you may not be able to tell them!"
Wowen asked curiously: "Do you have no appraisal agency in China?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "There are some so-called appraisal agency sales platforms in China, and they all say that they are appraisal authorities, but you think, a popular and highly popular appraiser has to appraise four thousand pairs of shoes a day on average. What is this concept? Appraise a pair of shoes in a few seconds? They think they are monkey grandsons? Eyes bright? You take the same pair of shoes to appraise. It is possible that this appraisal is fake, and the next appraisal will be true. Do you still pretend to be authoritative?"
Warvin nodded and said, "Isn't this a pitfall? Isn't anyone accusing them?"
Xiao Peng patted Wowen on the shoulder: "How to tell? People can say that the counterfeiting technology is too high, he just missed it. Who hasn't made a mistake yet? This is a very profitable business. Many people who are engaged in identification are themselves. The scalpers who fry shoes and the shoes hoarded at home have become advertisements proving their'authority'. Then these people sell shoes while appraising them. He said that the real is true, and he said that the fake is the fake. Don't make too much money. Easy... Hey, what are you doing with this? I said Liger, what are you going to do with those kids? Even though they weren't a good person at that time. Let me tell you that the girl we were cheering on outside the city just now I've seen it, there...you know what I mean."
"I know, it seems that there are women who work in the star-stripe country. But what can you say? The life of your own choice, and your boyfriend doesn't mind what we care about? They may regret it in the future. But now they can’t do anything. They can’t starve to death, right? I have contacted a place and threw them there to change their lifestyle. They will leave when she recovers."
"Ligger, you don't seem to discriminate against such a girl?" Warvin asked.
Xiao Peng said: "What is discrimination? Anyway, they are all about with men. Those who don't charge money are called love, and those who charge money are called selling themselves? What is the truth? If it is to survive, why do they discriminate? I only look down on those who do A girl who sells her vanity and high material life."
After hearing this, Wowen curled his lips at the girl who came with him: "Ligger, you see, here are all the girls like you said. But Liger, believe me, it’s the easiest to be with such a girl, you You don’t need to go shopping with them; you don’t need to buy cosmetics for them; you don’t need to wait for them to make up, just pay for it. And according to my experience, finding such a girl is really cheaper than finding a girlfriend. Well, if you don’t want to get married, it’s still the same. The girl is better. Hey, Tom is here."
