0:02:01 > 0:02:02Rayyan
0:02:02 > 0:02:04and Umar.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Our team is called Carpe Diem because it means 'seize the day' in Latin.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10And that's what we're all about doing - seizing the moment.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13PHONE RINGS
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Carpe Diem, how can I help you?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Brothers make a great team because we've always stuck together
0:02:18 > 0:02:20and nothing has ever brung us apart.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23These business brains already know how to make a profit.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Carpe Diem's biggest money-makers - personalised phone cases.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29We turn something like this, which costs us pennies,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33into something like this, which makes us lots of pounds.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Together, they're the complete package.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Aamir is the team's head honcho.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43In every great team you need a brilliant leader.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47I'm going to drive my team to victory. Pathetic! Come on!
0:02:47 > 0:02:50If we're going to win this thing we need stamina! Come on!!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Rayyan can make a sale, whatever the weather.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57I'm the team's sales specialist, and I sell with the seasons.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00In the winter, I sell woolly hats.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03In February, I sell Valentine's chocolates.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08In the summer, I sell sunglasses. Now, these are what people want.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Youngest brother Umar sells home-made cakes.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13He's sure he's got the recipe for success.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I've got flair, I've got imagination...
0:03:16 > 0:03:17HE LAUGHS
0:03:17 > 0:03:20..and that's what's going to help our team win.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25ALL: We're Carpe Diem and we're going to seize the day
0:03:25 > 0:03:29and trade our way to the USA.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49..Tabby...
0:03:51 > 0:03:53..and best friend Evie.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59I think our team can win because we've kind of got it all as a group
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and we work really well together and we get on, like, never argue.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04We're, like, mega team.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Street Smart Sellers already run their own successful
0:04:09 > 0:04:10jewellery business.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Our strategy is to take things with low cost
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- and turn them into...- Big bucks.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20ALL: We're Street Smart Sellers because we're all smart
0:04:20 > 0:04:23and we're ready for action. Bring it on!

0:04:37 > 0:04:39the brothers with business brains.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41But only the team that makes the most money
0:04:41 > 0:04:43can win today's challenge.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52The teams have arrived in Manchester
0:04:52 > 0:04:55with no idea what their trading challenge will be.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59All they do know is that they have to win to stand a chance
0:04:59 > 0:05:00of competing in our USA grand final.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Welcome to Manchester.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21You're here because tomorrow there's an enormous festival
0:05:21 > 0:05:24to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27It's the year of the Dragon
0:05:27 > 0:05:32and over 65,000 people are expected to join in with the festivities.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35That's a lot of potential customers.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Your challenge is to sell a selection
0:05:38 > 0:05:40of glow-in-the-dark products.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44They could be from glasses to glow sticks, face paints to fingernails.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50You're going to have to choose which products to buy,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52negotiate the lowest prices...
0:05:53 > 0:05:56..and then sell, sell, sell.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59The team that makes the most money wins the challenge.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Here are your trading funds.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I've given each team £75 to trade with.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Street Smart Sellers, are you ready?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13ALL: Yes!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Carpe Diem, are you ready? - ALL:- Yes!
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Let's buy!
0:06:21 > 0:06:26The battle is on. The teams have £75 to spend.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Buying the right products now is crucial to winning this challenge.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Now, before you buy any product, you really need to understand
0:06:34 > 0:06:37exactly what it is you're selling. So I've brought you here to meet
0:06:37 > 0:06:43your expert, Mark. He's going to show you exactly how to make money
0:06:43 > 0:06:45from glow-in-the-dark products.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49This is your market research time. Here are your notebooks.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Are you ready?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- ALL: Yes! - Let's buy!
0:07:00 > 0:07:03The teams have just 15 minutes to learn all they can
0:07:03 > 0:07:05about goods that glow in the dark.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07They must make every question count.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11What's your most popular item?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13We sell lots of the glow sticks, the bracelets,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16the urchin pendants and the spike pendants.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17They're our biggest sellers.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Do you know in them tubes what are they?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23These are hair colorants. They're OK for people having parties,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26but maybe not so good for the Chinese New Year.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Which is most appropriate for the challenge we're doing?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Depends who you think you'll be selling to -
0:07:31 > 0:07:34younger children have that sort of thing, adults will want the glasses.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38(Both teams are demonstrating excellent questioning skills.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40(They've already asked what are the top sellers
0:07:40 > 0:07:43(and what products would be appropriate for their challenge.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45(I'm very happy.)
0:07:45 > 0:07:47What is RRP on the foam tubes?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I suggest you sell for a pound.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Excellent from Maddy, asking about RRP -
0:07:54 > 0:07:56that's Recommended Retail Pricing.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59She's demonstrating great business awareness.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Any more questions?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03If there was one product you'd recommend to get,
0:08:03 > 0:08:04which would you say it is?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I would say go for the spike balls. One of our biggest sellers,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09they look good, go for the spike balls.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13OK, teams, your time for questioning is up. Thank you very much, Mark.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Now you've got to decide how you're going to spend your £75.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27So, guys, we've got £75. How shall we spend it?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30We've got to try and spend it as well as we can,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32so let's think about this really carefully.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Huh?- Yeah.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39If I were doing the challenge, I'd invest my £75 on two products -
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Mark's best-sellers, the spike balls,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46and his biggest profit makers, the glow-in-the-dark bracelets.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48'These bracelets can be turned into anything
0:08:48 > 0:08:51'from glasses to bunny ears.'
0:08:51 > 0:08:55I'd buy both in bulk to negotiate the best prices.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59But what will the teams do?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01OK, so 20 to 30 starfish,
0:09:01 > 0:09:05154 glow bands, 100 glasses and ball and things.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09£30 LED blue stars and rings and glasses frame.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11If we have enough money...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13'That's a very long list.'
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Carpe Diem are struggling
0:09:14 > 0:09:18to decide exactly what their business strategy is.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20..and £15 into spike balls.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Are the girls doing any better?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Spiky balls. - Right, spiky balls is right.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Mark said they were popular.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30These are going to be the best-sellers, these bracelets.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34OK, girls, so, Tabby, what has caught your eye and why?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36We're going to buy these bracelets,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38because we can make loads of things out of these
0:09:38 > 0:09:42and he said they make the most profit and they are his best-sellers.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44You are going to go and negotiate now.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47What's your strategy for negotiation?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50We're definitely going to buy in bulk,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52because the price should go down.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55'It's a great business strategy,'
0:09:55 > 0:09:58but the boys are also sure they've got what it takes to win.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00We think we'll start at a low price
0:10:00 > 0:10:03and work our way up and meet with him.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07And also buy in bulk order, so we get discount and hopefully get it cheap.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11OK. Sounds like you've got a plan. I'll see you in the negotiation.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Carpe Diem are convinced that buying a wide variety of products
0:10:20 > 0:10:22will make them the most money.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Street Smart Sellers reckon bulk buying bracelets
0:10:26 > 0:10:29and turning them into lots of different items
0:10:29 > 0:10:30will bring them the cash.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33But it's down to who can negotiate the best deals
0:10:33 > 0:10:35for their glow-in-the-dark goods.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42This will be the toughest negotiation
0:10:42 > 0:10:45they've ever had to face. But to win this challenge,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48they must get great deals now.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50First, it's the girls.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53They need to know exactly what they want to buy
0:10:53 > 0:10:56with their £75 trading fund to get the better of Mark.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- OK, what would you like to buy? - OK.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01We've been looking at these spiky balls.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- How much do you sell them individually at?- At £1.10.- £1.10.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08So if we bought 20, how much would that cost us?
0:11:08 > 0:11:09It would cost you £22.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11How about £12?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14No.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Will you meet us halfway?- N-n....
0:11:17 > 0:11:18£16?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27OK.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30The girls have come in with a firm handshake,
0:11:30 > 0:11:35sat down and negotiated £6 off the best-selling product.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Can't ask for better than that.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- These bracelets, they're 100 in the pack?- Yes.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41And they are all different colours?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Yes. There are five different colours.- How much for 100?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- £6 per 100.- We were hoping to get three packs for £10.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- No.- OK.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Will you give us £5 a pack?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57How about £5.50 a pack?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00£15.50 for three packs.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- 16.- £15.90.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Just 10p. 10p, it makes a big difference.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10My top tip in any negotiation is hold your nerve.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14You can't let your guard down and Maddy is demonstrating that.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Er, OK. OK.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22The girls negotiated brilliantly and got some great deals.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24They're a tough act to follow.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26The boys are next.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30They had a very long wish list. I only hope
0:12:30 > 0:12:34they've decided what they're going to get with their £75.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35What do you want to get? Glow bands.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40So, the 100 glow bands, I think we should buy them.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43We could sell 100 and make it for about 20 quid.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Are they connected with...?- No, you get them... Shall we get five?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50They're spending a lot of time
0:12:50 > 0:12:52trying to pick the products they want.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55They're not giving themselves a lot of time for negotiation.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I'm a bit concerned.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Because we're buying 400 glow bands, could you do it for £20?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05That's 20% off, isn't it?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Could you do £21.20?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Yeah, OK.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Ten starfish, how much are they? £8?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15£9.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17£8.70, please.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19£9.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22£8.90.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- OK.- Thank you.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28And how much are the fibre-optic hair bands?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- The fibre-optic hair bands are £2.50 each.- We'd do five of them.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Which is £12.50, isn't it? Yeah?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Shall we ask for one more for free?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Um, please can we have one more fibre-optic hair band for free?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- So you want six for £12.50? - Yes, please.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Um...
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- OK, OK.- Thank you very much.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Well done. I love that. They got something for free.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Great negotiation.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- So how much does it all come to, please?- What have you got there?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- £44.95.- It's more than that.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14They haven't been writing down the prices. They're not keeping track
0:14:14 > 0:14:17of what they're buying. My top tip in any negotiation
0:14:17 > 0:14:19is write down the prices
0:14:19 > 0:14:23and look at what the numbers are telling you.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25That way, you can't go far wrong.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- I think it's £69.- It is. You've got some money you haven't spent.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- Could we get some more stars and hearts, please?- OK.- Thank you.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43The girls spent half their £75 trading fund
0:14:43 > 0:14:47on 20 best-selling spiked balls and 300 glow sticks.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53They also invested in 25 foam sticks at 76p each.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57It's a big gamble, but will it pay off?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00The boys didn't buy any of the best-selling spiked balls.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Will that be a decision they regret?
0:15:03 > 0:15:08They did buy hair bands, hearts, stars, starfish and 400 glow sticks.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13I just hope there's enough time to sell them all.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Tomorrow, one team will shine brightly.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18For the other, it's lights out.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Today, the competition hots up.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Street Smart Sellers take on Carpe Diem.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Both are desperate to win
0:15:37 > 0:15:42and get one step closer to the Trade Your Way To The USA grand final.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Because the team that takes the most money today at Chinese New Year
0:15:46 > 0:15:50will be in with a chance of becoming Britain's best young traders.
0:15:51 > 0:15:57Good morning, Carpe Diem. Good morning, Street Smart Sellers.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00You're here in Manchester, where over 65,000 people
0:16:00 > 0:16:03are expected to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07You have two hours to sell your glow-in-the-dark goods.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12Remember, the team that makes the most money wins the challenge
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and they will stand a chance of trading their way to the USA
0:16:15 > 0:16:19and becoming Britain's best young traders.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Are you ready?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- All: Yes!- Let's set up.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28The teams need to get ready for when the visitors arrive.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Let's get going, guys.- Street Smart Sellers have a secret weapon
0:16:31 > 0:16:34they think will beat the boys.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38We've worked out Chinese figures that mean "glow-in-the-dark products".
0:16:38 > 0:16:40It's one of our winning strategies!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Great idea, girls, but in order to sell,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45it's vital the teams get their prices right.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47So what's the plan?
0:16:47 > 0:16:52We're going to sell these for £5, or three for £12.50.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54So you've some discount set up?
0:16:55 > 0:16:59'Carpe Diem's strategy to get them to the USA is the more you buy,'
0:16:59 > 0:17:01the cheaper the price.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03But the girls aren't giving up without a fight.
0:17:03 > 0:17:09Most of them are £3, like these, those and the starfish.
0:17:09 > 0:17:15They paid 80p each, so at £3, that gives them a £2.20 profit.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17The foam sticks are £5.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Hang on, they only paid 76p for each of those sticks!
0:17:21 > 0:17:23If they don't sell,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25'it could cost them a place in the semi-finals.'
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Are you feeling confident? - ALL: Yes!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30OK, I'll see you later. Good luck.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32'Their stalls are set.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36'Tens of thousands of potential customers are heading their way.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38'Let the battle begin.'
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Teams, are you ready?
0:17:45 > 0:17:46ALL: Yes!
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- Three, two, one, start trading. - KLAXON
0:17:52 > 0:17:55One starfish, £3. Two for a fiver.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57All of our prices are here.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59There you go.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Thank you. We made our first sale, a necklace for £3.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05The boys are off to a flying start.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10Glow-in-the-dark glasses! One for a fiver, three for a tenner.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14My top trading tip for demonstrating products, show them off.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Wear them so that customers can see exactly what they are
0:18:17 > 0:18:18and how they'll look.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Are these Chinese-y? - No, not really.- How much are they?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24£4. Two for £7.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- Thanks. Thank you very much. - Rayyan has made another £7 sale
0:18:28 > 0:18:32and taken Carpe Diem one step closer to America.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I'm feeling pretty confident that we can win this thing.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37He may well be right.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41The team that makes the most money wins, and only metres away,
0:18:41 > 0:18:43the girls don't seem to be selling a thing.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45No-one's interested.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I'm surprised at Street Smart Sellers,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51because before they were so confident about selling,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53now they seem to have stage fright.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Spiky pendants!- No-one's coming.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59You guys try as well, because I can't just do it.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Guys, you've got to come forward and do it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Would you be interested in buying our glow-in-the-dark goods?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Not going very well. We haven't really sold much at all.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16We've just got to work harder and get some more confidence and happiness,
0:19:16 > 0:19:20because Tabby and Evie are getting really depressed.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Because they're too scared to go up to people.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Selling is not easy and if you get down in the dumps about it,
0:19:27 > 0:19:32your customers will pick up on your body language and they won't buy.
0:19:32 > 0:19:3430 minutes in and Street Smart Sellers' dreams of winning
0:19:34 > 0:19:36seem shattered.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Get your glow-in-the-dark glasses!
0:19:40 > 0:19:42One for five quid, three for 12 quid.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- Street Smart Sellers, how's it going?- Badly.- Not very good.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- What's wrong?- There doesn't seem to be many people around.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Excuse me, there are thousands of people here!
0:19:57 > 0:20:02Nobody really wants these glow-in-the-dark goods.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04You've got to be passionate and confident
0:20:04 > 0:20:06and make your customers come to you!
0:20:06 > 0:20:11Come on! Do you want to win this or not? Let's go for it!
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Glow-in-the-dark goods! - Would you like to have a look?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Would you be interested?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22We've got rings and we've got little flashing starfish.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Finally, Street Smart Sellers are demonstrating their products
0:20:27 > 0:20:28and they are getting customers.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32We've got some wicked pink rings. They're only £2.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38One hour to go.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42So, Carpe Diem, how's it going?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45It's going really well, we have sold quite a lot.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48What's your best-seller so far?
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Our best-seller has been the starfish.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Have you sold out of those? - We've got about four left.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55What's not selling so well?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I think these glow sticks and the glasses and things.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02OK, and you bought 400 of those, didn't you?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06'To be in with a chance of winning today, and competing in the USA,'
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Carpe Diem need to sell those glow sticks.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13'And for both teams, time is running out.'
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- How's it going?- Quite well.- Better.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18And which has been your best-seller?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21The best-sellers are the rings and the pendants.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23We haven't sold these.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25We thought these would be our best-sellers, but they're not.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29'In business, no-one gets it right all the time.'
0:21:29 > 0:21:31The trick is to realise your mistakes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35With half an hour to go, the girls do just that.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38£2! £2 for these.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41We're selling these for £2 when we originally wanted
0:21:41 > 0:21:42to sell them for £5.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45So not so great, but we have to because none of them have been sold.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Only £2!
0:21:46 > 0:21:50The foam sticks cost 76p each, so even at £2,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53it's still a fantastic profit. Well done, Maddy.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Thank you. Have a nice day, happy Chinese New Year.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02So how are Carpe Diem doing with those 400 glow sticks?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Um, you know your stall,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- do you think it looks pretty?- No.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Are you just going to leave it like that?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- Put them at the back. I told you to tidy up before.- I tried.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- I didn't know it was all there. - Just do it!
0:22:17 > 0:22:21With 15 minutes to go, who will pull it off?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Everything must go! £1 for everything.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30They got off to a slow start, but there's no stopping the girls now.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Everything here's £1!
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- These are £1 each?- Yes.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41I got quite a good deal here. I got one, two, three, four, five,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- a fiver's worth.- Glow-in-the-dark products, glow in the dark.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Sometimes in business, it doesn't matter how much profit you make
0:22:47 > 0:22:49as long as you make something.
0:22:50 > 0:22:5450% off! Half price!
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Carpe Diem bought 400 glow sticks. With just minutes left,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59they have to sell them.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02You snap them, then you shake them and they glow in the dark.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05We need some help at the store.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11OK, you do these. Take some of them as well.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- How much is it?- 100 for £10.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18What?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Three for ten? £10. Deal.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22This man's doing a good job.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25There's only one minute left and it's all to play for.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Every penny counts.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Everything is now 50p!
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Everything must go!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- Would you like to buy some glow sticks?- Take it all.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Thank you very much. - Nine, eight...
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Thank you so much.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42'Unbelievable. With seconds to spare,'
0:23:42 > 0:23:47'Aamir sold 100 glow sticks for £10, double what he paid for them.'
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Two, one, stop trading. - KLAXON
0:23:55 > 0:24:00Boys, stop trading. Can I have your cash box? Good luck.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I need your cash box. Thank you.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05We're in it to win it.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08We made the last sales in the last ten minutes,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10which was £10 in the last ten seconds.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I think we're definitely in with a chance of winning,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15so hopefully we will win it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18I'm relieved it's over, because it was quite stressful.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I'm not sure we won, but we tried our best.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24But we all really want to win, so...
0:24:24 > 0:24:25ALL: Fingers crossed!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38They bought, they sold
0:24:38 > 0:24:41and they closed deal after deal.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45But now it's time to find out who's won the challenge
0:24:45 > 0:24:49and is still in the running to go to our USA grand final.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Welcome to Manchester's Royal Exchange.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58At one time, this was the largest trading room in the world,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01so the perfect place to reveal today's winning team.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Remember, 1,500 young traders applied to be in your shoes.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Only 14 teams made it through.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12You should be very proud of yourselves.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Only one team can win the challenge
0:25:15 > 0:25:19and only they stand a chance of trading their way to the USA
0:25:19 > 0:25:22and becoming Britain's best young traders.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26The cash has been counted.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Carpe Diem. You made...
0:25:32 > 0:25:35..£81.60.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Street Smart Sellers...
0:25:43 > 0:25:44..you made...
0:25:49 > 0:25:52..£168.50.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Congratulations. You're our winners!
0:25:58 > 0:26:01'Street Smart Sellers are today's winners
0:26:01 > 0:26:05'and are in with a chance of competing in the USA.'
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- I'm feeling so excited! - Yeah, we're really proud.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12And we can't wait, like, to find out what's next.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15We're going to be a much better team of traders after this experience.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18As you they say, you learn from your mistakes.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19We made quite a lot of them.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22We might not have won today, but we've had great fun,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25we've had great experience. It's been a truly amazing time.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28We're going to keep trading and keep making money.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Street Smart Sellers,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32you've demonstrated some excellent business skills. Well done.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35That earns you a place on our leaderboard.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37'Along with the winner of each heat.'
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Only these teams stand a chance of getting to the final.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47Street Smart Sellers' £168.50 knocks DNA into third place.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51But will it be enough to keep them in second position?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Because only the four teams that make the most money
0:26:54 > 0:26:56go on to fight it out in the semi-finals.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02The most successful people in business demonstrate
0:27:02 > 0:27:05strong leadership in difficult situations.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08They roll their sleeves up, get stuck right in and never give up.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12These are the traits we saw today in our winning team
0:27:12 > 0:27:14and their skills are worth remembering
0:27:14 > 0:27:18if one day you to want to trade your way to the USA.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Next time on Trade Your Way To The USA, two more teams do battle.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- What would you say at 20p? - Absolutely no.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32You're not doing very well, because you're not demonstrating.
