Chapter 80: Three Stories
Tong Chen didn't know this.
"This is where the gap between us and the online store lies, the small online store, people can do it in their own homes, there is no rent cost, although they have an additional express delivery fee, but people face a very large customer base, per capita, almost negligible."
Brother Ping shook his head helplessly: "I don't want to do this, take one step at a time, why do you have time to come here today?
"You guessed right, it wasn't that we couldn't receive the goods before, and I was sorry to delay your business, so as soon as I came back, I tried to receive something, and I sent it to you as soon as possible", Tong Chen said slightly apologetically.
Brother Ping laughed: "You have such a mouth, you are too good at talking, to be honest, it's not that I am not righteous, although the things you have sent can be sold a little, but not much."
"Why can't the sales be good, the quality of the agricultural products I sent is absolutely passable, someone should want it", Tong Chen was very puzzled.
"First of all, the price is too high, I will add a little profit, many people are asking and no longer buying, and secondly, the agricultural goods you send are really not very good, now people are pulling a plastic bag as soon as they enter the door, they go over to pick, pick are good-looking, a little scar, or a little bent, people don't want it, although everyone knows that this does not affect the taste at all, but people are like this, I can't help it", Brother Ping said and sat on a bench next to him, and his eyes motioned for Tong Chen to sit down too.
"Those agricultural products are all received from the farmers' own fields, they look like that, the taste is absolutely good, and in terms of price, it is still the same sentence, I will definitely not pit everyone, after all, everyone will still do business together in the future", Tong Chen still stood and said.
Brother Ping pointed to the basket of carrots in his hand and said, "What do you think is the difference between this basket of carrots and yours?"
Tong Chen's gaze fell on the carrots he was referring to, these radishes were uniform in size and bright in color, and they felt very good when they looked at them.
"Where are you carrots, they look so beautiful."
Brother Ping smiled: "The next thing I want to say is this, most of the things in my store are wholesaled from the Yangnan Town Vegetable Wholesale Market, and the quality looks pretty good, especially its price is not expensive."
Tong Chen was stunned again, although people did not say it clearly, but the meaning was already very clear, I wholesale goods from the vegetable wholesale market, the price is appropriate, the quality is not bad, why should I buy from you? The price is not cheap, and the quality is average.
"Brother Ping, I'll taste a radish from you", before anyone agreed, Tong Chen had already squatted there and picked up a radish and took a bite.
As for whether it is clean or not, Tong Chen is not so taboo, first of all, he feels that the first bite is not much different from the radish he usually eats, it is quite crispy, but under chewing, he slowly tastes different, Brother Ping's carrots in addition to a radish smell, the water is not so sufficient compared to his own radish, in addition, Tong Chen also feels that his own radish has a faint sweet taste, a radish does not need to stop much, and the whole radish will enter the stomach in a few minutes.
"Whatever you like, how do you taste the difference?".
Tong Chen didn't eat any more, holding a radish in his hand, and also sat on the bench.
"Brother Ping, then I'll tell you the truth, the taste of the radish in this wholesale market is really not as good as my radish, although the appearance is indeed not as beautiful as others."
Brother Ping opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Tong Chen said again: "Brother Ping, wait, I will bring some carrots this time, and when I take a few, you can also take the two radishes and taste them yourself."
Tong Chen said, and trotted out, Brother Ping smiled and didn't say anything.
In an instant, Tong Chen walked in with a few of his own radish, and picked up a knife that was still at the door, he squatted on the ground, first picked up a radish of Brother Ping, the knife fell down, and the skin of the radish was immediately peeled off, and then picked up a radish of his own and began to peel it.
It's no better than not knowing, two kinds of radishes are put together, and Tong Chen's radish looks more difficult to see.
Brother Ping took the lead in taking a bite of his own radish: "This is the taste of radish."
"Brother Ping, you bite slowly to taste the difference", Tong Chen prompted.
Brother Ping then took another bite of Tong Chen's radish and chewed it slowly according to his meaning.
"Did you taste the difference?", Tong Chen hurriedly asked, this little radish is not only about the taste of winning or losing, but also representing his vital interests
Brother Ping didn't answer right away, but took another bite.
Tong Chen had no choice but to watch Brother Ping's expression and wait for his evaluation.
"Indeed, it seems that the water is slightly more than my turnip, not much worse."
Tong Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that his radish taste is indeed better, in this case, there should be someone who wants it.
"But this still doesn't work, even if the taste is slightly stronger than mine, but when the two are put together, people first choose to buy beautiful and cheap", Brother Ping said again decisively.
Tong Chen has declined, is his own radish always inferior to theirs in the market?
After a while, Tong Chen packed up his radish and prepared to leave, so disheartened that he didn't even have the heart to sell other agricultural products.
"Little boy, wait, since you have already delivered things to the door, then leave some, there are many people, there are all kinds of things to buy, some choose the big ones, and some still prefer the small ones, leave some such agricultural goods, don't worry too much about not being able to sell them."
Hearing this, Tong Chen felt that his heart was almost unbearable, this boss, if you want to buy it, you can buy it, it's one thing if you don't buy it, how can there be such a grind.
In the end, Tong Chen left dozens of catties of radishes and some other agricultural products, and the price was still the original price.
However, then, Tong Chen's encounter in other stores was not so smooth, and he still didn't sell the little thing in the car body for half a day.
In the end, he only shouted loudly as usual, but fortunately, he didn't have many goods, and the price was slightly lower than the market price, so he sold out almost every time he retailed.
In the afternoon, when he returned home, Tong Chen did not go to collect the goods again, he thought for a long time, since he couldn't receive any agricultural products in the village now, why didn't he go to this vegetable wholesale market to see if there were any opportunities to make money.
It seems to be a very correct choice to follow the rules to a certain extent, but sometimes breaking through habits or laws, it is very likely that there will be further development, Tong Chen knows very well in his heart that if he continues like this, the goal of completing 50,000 yuan a month is very slim, and he must find a way to break through the status quo;
