Chapter 36: The Mountain Man Has His Own Trick
Ever since Hu Mingchen came with this low-priced card, his business has been getting better and better day by day.
At first, it was only the students of Dugg Primary School who bought it to play, but later, this trend gradually spread, not only elementary school students, but also many students from the adjacent Dug Middle School will also buy it.
Hu Mingchen's sales also changed from a few hundred on Monday to nearly 1,000 on Tuesday, and exceeded 1,000 on Wednesday. By Thursday, sales had reached 1,600. Every time between classes, even if it is only ten minutes, Hu Mingchen has to come to the store to open the door for a few minutes.
At noon, Hu Mingchen was even more busy alone, he had to collect money and count cards for others, and in the end he could only ask Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao to help him after class.
Seeing those change flying into their boxes like snowflakes, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao smiled from ear to ear, and even if they didn't have time for lunch, the two of them had no complaints.
On Friday, Hu Mingchen's remaining more than 1,000 cards were all sold out before he could go to school in the afternoon.
"Boss Wang, you have to help me prepare the goods for Saturday. On Tuesday, Hu Mingchen, who saw the trend, used the public phone in the shop on the street to make a call to Wang Zhan.
Hu Mingchen must not wait until it is completely out of stock to contact Wang Zhan, now is the time when business is booming, and it is necessary to plan in advance and take precautions. Otherwise, once there is no goods to sell, the momentum stops, and it will be very troublesome.
"Xiaohu, the five thousand tickets you took are sold out?" Wang Zhan was very surprised, he only took the goods on Saturday, why did he call on Tuesday to make a reservation.
"Not yet, but it's okay to sell out this week. I'm afraid there won't be any goods for me on Saturday, so I'll call you in advance. Hu Mingchen said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"How many do you want to prepare? Or 5,000?"
"No, no, this time I have to double it, you can prepare 10,000 for me, I don't have enough capital, otherwise I can ask for 20,000 tickets." Hu Mingchen said with confidence.
"20,000 sheets, you sell them so well?" Wang Zhan felt a little incredible.
"I can sell it anyway. ”
"If that's the case...... I owe it to you on credit, do you dare to take it?" Wang Zhan was shocked and groaned.
"Boss Wang, are you ....... Do you mean you can help me advance money?" Hu Mingchen didn't believe his ears.
The most feared thing for this business person is credit, they often prefer a lower profit than choose the way of credit, for fear that the account will not come back or it will be difficult to get back.
It is really rare for a seller like Wang Zhan to take the initiative to ask for credit, no wonder Hu Mingchen was surprised and puzzled.
"Yes, I'll help you advance 10,000 sheets, how about it, do you dare to ask for it?" Wang Zhan said briskly.
"Of course I dare, but ...... If you do this, you won't be afraid of me......"
"Hehe, don't be afraid, is it possible that you will still swallow my money? I believe that Xiaohu, you are by no means that kind of person. Wang Zhan on the other end of the phone did not have Hu Mingchen's hesitation and concerns, on the contrary, he smiled heartily.
There are two reasons why Wang Zhan is willing to help Hu Mingchen in this way.
First of all, Wang Zhan admires Hu Mingchen, a child dares to do this kind of business, so good at doing business, which makes Wang Zhan, who has been in business for more than ten years, really impressed.
Now it's so powerful at such a young age, so given time, it's even more unfortunate, so Wang Zhan decided to help and support, and now establish a good relationship and opportunity, maybe he will get unexpected returns in the future.
Secondly, Wang Zhan also has a very realistic consideration. He looked for upstream purchases, and followed a rule the same, the larger the quantity, the lower the price.
And the price at which Wang Zhan sold Hu Mingchen has already been finalized, so if he can still look down a little from the upstream in terms of unit price, it is equivalent to his profit invisibly increasing his profits.
Whether it is public or private, Wang Zhan's treatment of Hu Mingchen like this is beneficial.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if Hu Mingchen is really greedy and relies on his account, then Wang Zhan will only lose about 200 yuan at most. Spending more than 200 yuan to see Hu Mingchen's true face is also a gain.
"Boss Wang, since you have said so, then I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart. Don't worry, I promise that I won't lose the debt I owe you, and I will definitely give it to you by all means, no matter whether I make it or not. Prepare 20,000 for me, I can't refute your kindness. Hu Mingchen said with emotion.
Hu Mingchen's statement made Wang Zhan on the other end of the phone satisfied and relieved.
On Saturday, Hu Mingchen, who took a half-day leave, went into the city with more than 200 yuan, and this time because the three children were running the right bus, Hu Mingchen did not get a cheap car, but bought a ticket by himself.
Of course, Hu Mingchen can also go again on Sunday, but he is not willing to waste a day because of a little travel expenses, besides, Hu Mingchen still has very important things to do on Sunday, if he does a good job on Sunday, he can earn back several times the travel expenses.
In Wang Zhan's warehouse in the Xiangyang Road Wholesale Market, Hu Mingchen saw his goods, and four boxes were full.
"Xiaohu, how long do you plan to sell out of these 20,000 copies?" Wang Zhan asked Hu Mingchen intently.
Although Wang Zhan appreciates and supports Hu Mingchen, Wang Zhan is still a little worried in the face of so many goods, this is 20,000 instead of 200, a full 500 yuan of goods.
"It will definitely be sold out within ten days, and when the time comes, when I get a batch of goods, I will be able to settle the payment owed to you for this batch of goods. ”
"You're really confident. ”
"Hehe, I'm really not afraid of the number now, but I'm afraid of how I should transport these boxes to the station to get on the train, you see, with my small body, I still don't have enough strength. Hu Mingchen smiled lightly.
"Hahaha, you, you, you're just a slippery head, you plan to use me to make it clear, and you're going to beat around the bush. Wang Zhan pointed at Hu Mingchen and laughed.
Obviously, Hu Mingchen said that, he just hoped that Wang Zhan would help him carry it, otherwise why would he tell Wang Zhan this?
Wang Zhan was able to laugh, which also showed that he didn't mind Hu Mingchen's so-called cleverness.
After collecting half of the payment paid by Hu Mingchen, that is, two hundred and fifty yuan, Wang Zhan acted as a coolie to help Hu Mingchen move the goods to the door of the wholesale market, and also helped him find a familiar manpower freight tricycle by the way.
"Lao Zhang, this young man is my friend, you can do me a favor, after bringing these freight to the station, help him get on the train. Wang Zhan explained this to the coachman Lao Zhang.
"Boss Wang, just send it to the station, I still have to help him carry him to the car? ”
"Add money, add money, add eggs, you only have money in your eyes, you can't have anything else but money?
"Boss Wang, it's about 200 catties here, do you think it's easy to resist getting on the train, add one dollar, I only charge two yuan from here to the station, shouldn't I add one dollar?" Lao Zhang is a native of Sichuan, and his Sichuan dialect is very authentic.
"Add a dollar, don't be crooked, hurry up, if he can't catch the car, I'll trouble you." Come back, I have some paper shells in my warehouse, you can take them all. ”
"Haole, Haole, Boss Wang, you said it earlier, don't worry, I will definitely help him get into the car before coming back." Hearing that there was a paper shell, Lao Zhang became happier than adding a dollar to the fare.
These small three-wheelers who help people pull goods will also do waste recycling many times. Wang Zhan: They do wholesale business, and they often have waste paper shells. Those paper shells can actually be sold for money, Wang Zhan said so, the paper shells given must be more than one dollar, of course Lao Zhang is happy.
In the past, Hu Mingchen took the shuttle bus where she sold tickets, and people didn't have to buy tickets, goods and tickets. But this time it was different, people asked for tickets, and his four boxes of goods added up to five yuan tickets.
Although it cost five yuan more, Hu Mingchen could only bear to pay.
Lao Zhang's service was very good, not only helped Hu Mingchen move the goods to the roof of the car, but also helped him tie it with a rope so as not to leave after a bump and fall.
20,000 pieces of goods were taken back to Duge Township, and it was impossible for Hu Mingchen to say that there was no pressure.
Of course, Hu Mingchen's pressure is not whether these cards can be sold, after all, the popularity of last week made him believe that these low-priced cards can be popular. His pressure came from the question of how long to sell.
Not to mention that Hu Mingchen told Wang Zhan that he could sell it out in ten days, just selling it to the students of Duge Primary School and Duge Middle School, Hu Mingchen had to consider a saturation problem.
"Xiao Chen, why are there so many this time, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sell them?" Hu Yandie, who was waiting on the street to help, was shocked when he saw that there were many more cards than before.
"I'm not afraid, of course I'm not afraid, I'll take more while it's good to sell now, and half of it is still given to me on credit." ”
"Why do people give you credit?"
"Why? Hehe, your brother and I are so charming. Hu Mingchen joked with a smile.
"You're charming, you're charming, if you can't sell it, what money do you give to others? Don't let people chase after you, you know how sad you are. Hu Yandie glanced at her younger brother and said angrily.
"Impossible, how could I not sell it, the mountain people have their own tricks, I know it in my heart. Besides, even if I can't give him the money, the boss doesn't know where our house is, where will he go to find me? Sister, don't worry, when I sell this batch of goods, I will buy you and Xiaojiao a piece of clothing. Seeing that his sister's flower shirt was already a little yellow, Hu Mingchen couldn't help but say.
"Okay, that's what you said, don't be a scalper when the time comes. "Girls always have a heart for beauty, and Hu Yandie is still very yearning for new clothes.
"The gentleman has no jokes, I will do what I say, let's go home quickly, Xiaojiao is at home alone, I'm afraid she will be hungry. ”
