Chapter 77: Do you want to hit the streets?
Li Xian didn't have any bad habit of peeping into other people's privacy, he just wanted to hear what the first batch of people who received toilet paper had to say about the rolling paper.
Although he was almost regarded as a hooligan, he still gained something along the way.
Although most people are a little unacceptable to the price of rolling paper, they are still very satisfied with the quality of the toilet paper itself.
Compared with the coarse, black and hard of the most common straw pulp toilet paper on the market. Fine, white, and soft are the three labels he heard most frequently along the way.
This gave him a lot of confidence.
The free paper giveaway was held for three days, which caused a huge response in several regions. The number of people queuing up to receive papers is increasing every day, and in Beilin City, the most populous city, the paper giveaway even caused a scramble and almost a stampede. Thanks to the fact that there is a police station next to the square where the paper was given, the people from the sales unit found the police to come and maintain order, and the matter was stabilized.
In just three days, the backlog of finished paper in the factory warehouse since the start of production was empty.
More than seven tons of toilet paper were given away.
On the fourth day, when Li Xian arrived at the Forestry Bureau Stadium again, no less than 1,000 people had gathered at more than three o'clock.
When he arrived, he happened to meet several leaders of the bureau's supply and marketing cooperatives and wholesale department.
These people came to see the excitement, and in the past two days, they have already known that Li Xian, a young man who is in his early stages, is the new director of Sina Paper Mill.
Seeing Li Xian, Han Chunsheng, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, came over. took out a cigarette and handed it over, "Brother, I heard Lao Chen say that you have given it to several surrounding cities and counties, and it's been four days." It's not a loss, is it?"
Li Xian smiled and excused the cigarette that was lowered to his eyes, "It's okay." ”
"Tsk," Han Chunsheng lit a cigarette and sighed, "It's not a way for you to do this." Your rolls of paper have been sitting on the counter of the supply and marketing cooperatives for five days, but not a dozen of them have been sold. Here's a lot of free giveaways for you every day, but no one buys them! If it goes on like this, can your factory withstand it?"
On the side, the leaders and bosses of several wholesale departments also echoed it, and the situation there was similar. The customers of the wholesale department are grocery stores, commissaries and hawkers, and these days have passed, and not even one of them has come to Sina toilet paper.
"Take a look. In the face of everyone's care, Li Xian could only spread his hands.
Before the start of the paper giveaway, the sales unit had already sent a portion of the toilet paper to the distributors in various regions for consignment. The cost price of the roll paper was finally combined at 9 cents a roll, and the paper mill made it into a large package of twelve rolls and a bag. The price given to these channel providers is a piece of six. In this way, every time you sell a piece of paper, the channel dealer will have a profit of three or four cents. And this kind of large-scale packaging method also leaves a certain profit for the commissaries and sellers who are retailed in a single volume at the next level.
Compared with other toilet paper at present, this profit is considerable.
But the current situation is that sales are dismal.
"Ahem," Seeing Li Xian's calmness, Han Chunsheng choked on the smoke, "Brother Li, brother has to talk to the front." The counter of our supply and marketing cooperatives is also limited, and we also grasp the benefits, you can put this paper for a week or two, but if you don't go for a long time, then we can't always waste space for you. ”
That's a bit of a rude, but it's true. These channels are all drunk by sales stocks, and the relationship is not very deep. A considerable part of the reason why the merchants were able to accept the new Sina special offer was because of profits.
And if you can't create profits, naturally there is no favor to talk about.
Li Xian thought about it for a while, and snorted: "Director Han, you can rest assured." Starting tomorrow, our paper giveaway will be suspended. After a while, it will not sell well, and the sales will not rise. Don't say that you take us off the shelves, our factory has to consider changing to a new business. So be it, two weeks. If it doesn't work out after two weeks, then don't bother you, I'll send someone over and clean it up by myself, will it be successful?"
Seeing that Li Xian gave the deadline, Han Chunsheng and the others nodded again and again.
……
Over the next two days, the salesmen from all over the world returned to the mill one after another. They have already agreed with various channels that they can call the factory at any time if they want goods.
Since the end of the paper donation, Li Xian has been waiting with Chen Shulin in the office of the sales unit.
But I waited left and right, and I didn't wait for a call to ask for goods.
Chen Shulin was naturally nagging, in his opinion, Li Xian made such a big noise, and gave away nearly 11 tons of finished paper with a total value of 6,000 yuan for nothing, and it took more than 4,000 yuan to engage in propaganda in various regions.
More than 10,000 pieces were smashed up, and in the end...... Hmph, play for nothing!
It didn't work at all!
In the face of his nagging, Li Xian behaved calmly.
But Chen Shulin didn't know that under this light cloud and light wind, there was infinite anxiety.
It's already November, and the business of the renovation team has gradually stopped due to the weather. Yesterday at the beginning of winter, the first light snow in the forest area has fallen. Although I didn't stand still, as long as it snowed, neither the wall nor the iron cover could go on.
Wang Qinghe in the forest farm has dismissed all the workers, leaving only a few brothers in his own family to do some odd jobs of sewing and repairing, and dealing with some tails left over from the previous construction.
The construction team has completely lost its input.
After paying the wages of the workers, excluding the 100,000 yuan in the bank, Li Xian had more than 30,000 yuan left in his hand.
The paper mill has been running for more than ten days, and there is still more than half a month to go. If there are more than 100 people, then it will be 20,000 again. Money, electricity, water......
Thinking of the huge and complicated expenditures, Li Xian couldn't help but have a headache.
Just as he was looking at the phone on his desk, the office door rang. Zhang Dagong and Li Jie walked in together.
"Factory director," Zhang Dagong rubbed his thick palms, "What, there hasn't been an order in the past two days, and the warehouse is almost full." But there are still two liners over there, you see...... Either let's change to a shift, or just ...... Stop for two days?"
Li Jie saw that her second brother's mood was not very high, and she also sneered: "Second brother, Dad came here just now." asked me upside down how the sales were in the past two days, and I said that it could be maintained, and I could sell three or four hundred catties a day for him to pay back. He'll have to ask you when he goes back in the evening, so don't miss it. ”
Listening to these two news, Li Xian sighed heavily.
Looking at the snow outside the window that had melted and turned into small droplets of water sticking to the window, he felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart.
Oh my!
Am I going to hit the streets?
