Chapter 11: Expanding Sales Channels
Zhou Zuoshu asked anxiously: "How to cooperate?"
Guo Wendong said: "You sell my herbal tea as an agent, and I will supply it to you at a wholesale price of 3 cents and 5." ”
If it is sold through dealers in the future, Guo Wendong will also be at this price.
"Yes!" Zhou Zuoshu immediately nodded and agreed, selling a cup to earn a dime, of course he was happy, there was one more way to make money, why not.
Guo Wendong shook hands with him and said, "Happy cooperation!"
There is one more way to make money, Zhou Zuoshu is very happy and shakes hands with him.
After returning to the rental house, I took stock of the accounts, and today's turnover was 245 yuan, plus the original money, a total of 1705 yuan.
My sister said: "We have 205 yuan left, and we will definitely sell better tomorrow, and we already have a lot of money on hand!"
In the past three days, a total of 497 yuan has been sold, and the turnover is getting higher and higher day by day, which can make Guo Liyun happy.
She thought thoughtfully, thinking about the future development route, and said: "Wang Laoji and chrysanthemum tea are all packaged. I think that when we supply to others and sell, even if there is no packaging, at least the cup must have a lid. ”
Guo Wendong thinks that a plastic cover similar to Starbucks is the best, and the plastic cover has a hole that can be inserted into a straw, which must be ordered by the manufacturer.
He said: "After the sales volume is large enough and the cost is enough, we must find a manufacturer to process it on behalf of the manufacturer, and we can use a variety of specifications of packaging." Before that, find a manufacturer to order a batch of plastic covers. ”
Guo Liyun asked, "How can I find the right manufacturer?"
If she comes to find it, it's a headache.
If it was in the last time and space, it would be very simple, and it would be easy to find the corresponding manufacturers through Alibaba, Taobao, etc.
In this era when not only smartphones are not available, but also the Internet and computers are not yet popular, it is difficult to find them, and newspapers, television, and radio stations are the most important channels for disseminating information and advertising.
Guo Wendong said: "Newspapers, classified ads in newspapers, there is this information. Tomorrow we wake up early and go to the newsstand to buy newspapers and find information. ”
Guo Liyun feels that no matter what kind of problem it is, her brother has a solution.
At 9 o'clock the next day, the alarm went off.
The brother and sister got up, brushed their teeth and washed their faces, and went out for breakfast.
On the newsstand, there are many newspapers and magazines.
Among the local newspapers, there are Nanzhou Daily, Nanfang Daily, and Yangcheng Evening News, Guo Wendong bought one, found a place to sit down, he flipped through Nanzhou Daily, and his sister flipped through Yangcheng Evening News.
There are many kinds of classified ads, such as recruitment advertisements, property leasing, selling buildings, buying and selling second-hand cars, education and training, logistics and distribution, pawns, house decoration, lawyer services, etc., as long as you don't break the law, you can find newspapers to advertise.
After a while, Guo Liyun first said: "Brother, this factory can process all kinds of plastic cups, and plastic lids should also be possible, right?"
Guo Wendong took it and saw that the manufacturer was in the Tianhe District, with a detailed address, landline and BB machine numbers.
The Tianhe area moves in the Dongshan district, which is not very far from here.
In this era, a big brother costs more than 30,000, and it is troublesome to make a phone call.
Guo Wendong found a store where he could call, dialed the manufacturer's landline, and said that he wanted to process plastic covers.
The other party was very positive and said that the plastic cover could be processed.
Guo Wendong said again that he hoped that the manufacturer could send someone to come over for an interview, the time was at three o'clock in the afternoon, and he said the specific address, and the other party wrote down the address.
The manufacturer readily agreed.
When you hang up, the displayed call time is one minute and five seconds.
The shopkeeper said, "Two dollars!"
Guo Wendong handed out a two-yuan bill.
Compared with more than 20 years later, the people's income in this era is much lower, and the cost of communication is much more expensive, and the cost of communication is particularly high.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Kee Hotel, the brother and sister are here.
At this time, it is the most idle time in the restaurant, there is not a single diner in the restaurant, and the owner and the proprietress are sitting and watching TV.
At this time, a young man appeared, dressed in short sleeves, with a satchel on his shoulders and a BB machine pinned to his waist.
He saw the sign of Mei Duobao Herbal Tea and immediately walked over.
He said to Guo Wendong: "Is it Mr. Guo Wendong?"
Guo Wendong replied: "I am." ”
The man said politely: "Hello Mr. Guo, I am from Lihe Processing Factory, and you contacted our factory in the morning." ”
Guo Wendong said: "Yes!"
He led the man into the store, sat down in one of the seats, and Guo Liyun made him tea.
"Mr. Guo, this is my business card!" he politely handed over the business card with both hands.
Guo Wendong took it and saw that this person's name was Zhao Dewei, and his position was written as a sales representative.
He knew very well that the other party was specifically pulling orders for processing plants.
There are many products that are not mass-produced and sold on the shelves first, but are produced only after there are orders.
Zhao Dewei said: "Mr. Guo, in the morning you said that you want to order a batch of plastic lids for cups, you can draw specific shapes, give specifications, and our factory will produce according to the requirements." ”
With that, he took out a pen and paper from his bag.
Guo Liyun was very eye-catching, putting a paper cup on the table.
Guo Wendong said: "The plastic box is to cover this kind of cup. ”
Immediately, he picked up the pen again and drew on the paper the shape of the lid, similar to the shape of the lid of a later Starbucks coffee cup, with an opening hole for inserting a straw.
Speaking of price, Zhao Dewei said that the minimum starting price for accepting processing orders is 100 yuan, and 100 yuan can produce 8,000 caps, which are spread out for 2 cents for a lid.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow this time I'm going to have the goods! ”
"No problem, the factory can work overtime to produce it tonight!"
Guo Wendong paid 30 yuan, Zhao Dewei issued a receipt, and after tomorrow's delivery, he paid the remaining 70 yuan.
After talking about things, Zhao Dewei didn't leave, looked at the propaganda paper again, and said curiously: "Is herbal tea really delicious and fire-lowering?"
Guo Wendong said: "You will know if you taste it! I will give you a cup for free!"
Guo Liyun poured a cup and put it on the table.
After Zhao Dewei took a sip, he praised: "It tastes good!" and finished another cup.
Looking at the desktop again, there were only disposable paper cups, he found an opportunity to sell business, and said: "Mr. Guo, if a customer wants to buy a drink to go home, it is inconvenient to hold the cup! It is better to have plastic bottles to put up, you can order plastic bottles from our factory." ”
Guo Wendong replied: "How to calculate the price of a 350ml bottle?"
Ordering plastic bottles, in his plan, is just not as urgent as ordering lids, and it is not implemented immediately, since the other party is here, he also orders by the way.
Zhao Dewei introduced: "The larger the quantity, the greater the discount, if you only order 100 yuan, you can produce 2,000 pieces, spread down 5 cents per bottle, if you order 1,000 yuan at one time, 4 cents per bottle, order more than 3,000 yuan, 3 cents per bottle." ”
Guo Wendong decided to spend 100 yuan to order the bottle, and paid a deposit of 30 yuan, which will still be delivered tomorrow.
For the whole process, the boss couple watched in the eyes.
After Zhao Dewei left, Boss Chen said: "Adong, order so many bottle lids at once, and prepare to make the business bigger!"
