Chapter 1298 1282. Second-hand Books (35)
The term BACH appeared in the 1950s, when the main roads in New Zealand were basically built and the traffic began to develop.
In this way, as the number of families with private cars continues to increase, some two- or three-bedroom houses have gradually been built in places that were previously inaccessible but beautiful. open" place.
These places are some distance away from the main roads, but the roads are not too dangerous. They are very suitable for people who want to escape the big city life for a while to find themselves and find quietness.
So, from that time on, the word Bach became popular.
Except for Wang Bo and Na Qingyang, most of you here know this word, but they don't connect it with Wang Bo's needs.
Because Wang Bo asked everyone to provide a durable, short construction period, high-quality and low-cost housing, the cost of BACH is not low.
The main reason is that it is located on a mountain, on the beach or by a lake. In this kind of place, it is difficult to set up a tent, let alone build a house? Even a small house can cost a lot of money.
In New Zealand, owning a Bach is the dream of many Aboriginal people and a symbol of middle-class status.
Wang Bo knocked on the table and said, "How about we also build BACH?"
Charlie shook his head and said, "No, Wang, I know what score you want to play. This is absolutely not acceptable. Everyone is not stupid, so don't be fooled."
Wang Bo said dissatisfied: "How did I fool people? You see, Google said that this thing is very popular in New Zealand, and rich people will buy one."
"What they buy is the surrounding scenery, not this kind of house. Just like in China, if someone develops a community full of color steel and tile houses, will anyone buy it?"
Kidd also said, "Boss, I've lived in this kind of house. It's hot in summer and cold in winter. It's worse than a building made of blocks."
Wang Bodao: "I have made up my mind to build BACH, but it will be built by the lake or on the mountain. After it is built, the price will be higher and sold to the wealthy people in the city."
"However, our residential housing problem has not been resolved." Charlie said.
Wang Bo sighed helplessly: "Build a building, sell the building out, I want to build a high-rise!"
There are no high-rise residential areas in towns and towns in New Zealand. People call this kind of house a birdcage because the occupants live in mid-air. The house is small and can only move in one area. There is no garden or yard, just like a birdcage.
But only building high-rises can solve the contradiction between residential housing and the land he doesn't want to sell out, and he can only do this if there is no other way.
"Since a building is going to be built, why build a BACH?"
Wang Bo lazily said, "Of course it's to make money."
In many beautiful places in New Zealand, there are such small houses all over the place. It has been like this for decades, but over the years, with the development of society, BACH must have changed.
A few decades ago, the interior of Bach was similar. There were basically no recreational facilities, and the furniture was often second-hand. There was no telephone in the house, and even the water was stored through rainwater collection facilities.
The contemporary New Zealand Bach has begun to become more sophisticated, with more and more luxurious decoration and higher building specifications; with the increase of population, many original Bach districts have become the suburbs of big cities, with convenient transportation , Convenience store Internet cafes live in the community, mobile phone signal coverage is full, and there are even souvenir shops.
Wang Bo noticed business opportunities from it, and the number of forest farm hearts has grown to four. These forest farms can produce timber, but he doesn't want to do so because it will damage the environment.
In this way, the best way to make good use of the forest farm is to build holiday houses in it.
Anyway, the environment of the forest farm is very beautiful, the air is very fresh, and there are a lot of small game in it, so there is definitely a market for building a holiday home.
There was nothing to do in the middle and late August, so Wang Bo made a plan and decided to take his staff to buy books.
Because some subordinates leaked information about the library before, the library cannot be banned, and the books in it cannot be rented, but must be bought.
However, books in New Zealand are not cheap, and it would cost an incalculable amount of money to build a library as large as Wang Bo boasted.
Under such circumstances, Lao Wang began to think of ways to save money. Needless to say, the best way is to go to the second-hand market to find treasures.
He mobilized all his confidants, and asked them to bring his subordinates to buy second-hand books and audio-visual products through various channels.
Fortunately, it's not difficult. New Zealand's second-hand market is booming, and there are many transactions. There are various second-hand stores, second-hand markets, online auctions, home garage sales, and so on.
Wang Bo is still an old Chinese. Since economic conditions permit, he is unwilling to buy second-hand goods, unless it is a classic car that must be second-hand.
New Zealand's protection of intellectual property rights is very strong. Audio-visual products and books are an important part of the second-hand market, and books are sold through these channels.
At the end of August, the Mexican pretty boy saw on the Internet that there was a special sale of second-hand books in Auckland, so he forwarded the news to Wang Bo.
Seeing this, Wang Bo immediately gathered his troops and went straight to Oakland!
The special sales will be held within a large warehouse company. Wang Bo had contacted this company online in advance, saying that he intends to buy a large number of books.
So, they arrive at the warehouse company to identify themselves, and someone takes them into the warehouse area.
This warehouse company has a total of twenty-five warehouses. The largest warehouse covers an area of two hectares and stands on the ground like a bomber production workshop.
The second-hand books to be sold are in the back two warehouses. The manager in charge of sales said: "There are about 1.4 million books in all, including novels, magazines, popular science textbooks, etc."
Wang Bo asked: "If you buy them all, how much will it cost?"
The manager gave him a surprised look and said, "If I'm in charge of the transportation, I think two million will be enough."
After thinking about it in his mind, Wang Bo found that such a book only costs more than one yuan, which is simply too cheap compared to the price of a new book.
The warehouse was opened, and some people inside were picking out books. They were carrying bags and dragging boxes, and they had long sticks with hooks in their hands. They picked out any books they saw that interested them.
Haney introduced to him: "These are book hunters. They select extra valuable books, buy them back and then sell them, earning the price difference."
Wang Bo asked: "In this case, how much is a book?"
The manager shook his head and said: "I don't know, we have workers who are responsible for settlement, and they are responsible for pricing used books."
