350.Lesson to the Elephant (Monthly Pass 18+)
Many people think that South Africa is rich in fruits, known as the state of fruits, and domestic fruits must be cheap.
This is the case in Southeast Asia such as Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam.
But that's not the case in South Africa.
Except for some abundant subtropical fruits, most fruit varieties are similar to the domestic price, such as bananas cost seven or eight rand a catty, and the price of apples is similar in China, and a catty of apples in the market is almost three or four yuan.
But the price of fruit used by fruit estates for bulk export is different, and it must be much cheaper.
Yang Shubao set the price of the fruit according to the Hluhluwe market, and the price fluctuated by 20%.
He is very conscientious in this wave of price increases, and in terms of quality and quality, the fruits produced by the fruit grove are much better than ordinary fruits on the market.
But he can't raise the price too much, because his target customers are passers-by. Drivers drive fast, glancing at the price tag at best, and if the price is too high, they won't stop to make a purchase.
In fact, there are quite a few stalls at the intersection in South Africa, and the prices of goods in this place are often cheaper than in the market.
Knowledge knows this law, so after seeing the numbers on the price card, he hesitated: "Mr. Yang, do you really want to sell it for this price?"
Yang Shubao woke up and squeezed his eyes, he asked, "What's the matter, do customers think it's too expensive?"
Zhizhi helplessly spread his hands and said: "No, there are no customers coming to the door, the car will slow down in front of us at most, and then leave after they see the price." ”
Yang Shubao said: "But you know the taste and texture of our fruits, do you think the price is too high?"
Zhizhi shook his head: "In terms of taste, I think the price is too low, but passers-by don't know, they haven't tasted the deliciousness of our fruit, so they only pay attention to the price." ”
Uncle Yang rubbed his chin and said, "In other words, you have to attract them to stop and taste the fruit, right?"
Knowledge said: "That's right, I suggest you bring Simba over and let him crouch next to the stall to attract pedestrians to stop and watch the excitement." ”
This is a good idea, but Lao Yang has a more ruthless idea.
He brought the herd of zebras, and when a car appeared on the road, he whistled and sent the zebras out into the road.
The car slowed down, and a woman poked her head out of the window and asked, "Where did these bastard zebras come from?"
Yang Shubao shrugged at her.
The woman asked, "Can you help get rid of them?"
Yang Shubao said: "That's no problem, in fact, the trouble is caused by me, they are attracted by my fruits, blocking your way." But I can't help it, I have to do business here, who knew that fruit would be so tempting to them?"
He gave the knowledge a look, and the young man took an orange and walked over to the woman, and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused you, please eat some fruit first, be patient, etc., and we will drive them away." ”
The old woman had a maternal brilliance in her, and the woman smiled tolerantly at the knowledge and said, "Of course you can't be blamed for this, thank you child, you are such a polite fellow." ”
Yang Shubao went to drive the zebra herd, he drove the zebra herd away, and the woman had already pushed the car door down: "Where is this orange produced? The juice is rich, the sweetness and sourness are moderate, I like its taste, buy me a box, it's all like this, right?"
"You take any one and try it. Knowledge said.
The woman casually touched an orange and opened it and ate a piece, then nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I want a box." ”
Yang Shubao said that Zhizhi recommended other fruits to her: "Auntie, please try the snake fruit and grapes we have here, as well as this peach, it is simply amazing, it used to be processed into canned food and sent to high-end shopping malls in Asia, Europe and the United States for sale." ”
The quality of the fruit irrigated by the Fountain of Life was so good that the women bought a box of each of them after tasting it.
Immediately, eight hundred and fifty rand arrived.
The car left, and the zebras came back to the middle of the road.
Zhizhi sighed and said, "Mr. Yang, isn't it a bit bad for us to do this? ”
Yang Shubao said: "Of course not, how about our fruits?"
"Good. ”
"Isn't that right? We're introducing great fruit to our customers, and it's not good if we don't find a way to entice them to buy such delicious fruit." ”
Zhizhi thought for a while and said: "What you said makes sense, in that case, why don't we just buy and sell it? Use the zebra herd to force the car to stop, and then you have to buy fruit, and if you buy the fruit, help them drive the zebra herd away, otherwise let them wait." ”
Yang Shubao said: "You are a brother who buys and sells, and violates the law!"
Knowledge shrugged and said, "But our purpose is for them to eat such an excellent fruit, and the intention is good." ”
Yang Shubao shook his head and said, "No, this is not okay, because the law does not allow it." ”
Another horse suddenly arrived, and Yang Shubao saw that this was a big customer, and directly asked the knowledge to sell the fruit.
It's a pity that most of the passengers are poor, they are very sensitive to prices, they hit hard when they taste fruits for free, and when they get off the bus and see the price card, they only promise, and in the end, only the driver bought five catties of mangoes.
Yang Shubao summed it up, and the money he made from mangoes was not as much as the loss he had when they tasted it before.
"In the future, Matatu's business will not be done. Lao Yang said categorically.
Most of the owners of private cars were interested in fruits, and on this day he sold all the fruits he picked, and the total income reached a considerable amount of more than 9,000 rand.
Yang Shubao calculated, because the fruit tree has been bought, this is almost a business, a small 5,000 yuan a day, 150,000 yuan a month, this is a big business.
The Fountain of Life is such a good thing.
In order to improve his enthusiasm for work, Yang Shubao changed his salary model to a basic salary plus commission, the basic salary is ten yuan, and the commission is one percent.
In this way, as long as he has an income of 5,000 yuan a day, his income can exceed before.
Based on the experience of the previous day, Yang Shubao felt that as long as he could stop customers, it would be easy to do more than 5,000 a day.
He couldn't keep an eye on the stall today, so he sent Nate over and asked Nate to control the zebra herd to block the way.
Looking at the zebras on the road, Lao Yang sighed: He has now become a road rage.
As he picked the fruit, he found that some of the leaves of the fruit trees had been removed, there were broken branches on the ground, and the bark of several fruit trees had been torn apart, which was definitely a good thing for the elephant herd.
So he decided to clean up the guys.
The elephants went to the wild pond in the morning to frolic and appeared with mud, and Uncle Yang waved to the king with a tiger face: "You, come here." ”
The elephant shook its nose and walked slowly, and Yang Shubao pointed to the tree whose bark had been torn off and asked in Elven language, "You did it, right?"
The elephant king blinked slowly, its eyelashes were long, like a fan.
Lao Yang impatiently punched it, and said angrily: "Talking to you about business, what do you mean by flattering me? You want to hook up with me? You want to corrupt me with beauty? That's impossible."
