Chapter Thirty-Eight: The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
Open the door to do business.?? Huo Ran ?Wen w?w?w?.?
Zhang Wei lay lazily on the recliner, watching the people coming and going in the vegetable market.
After Qian Ming came to warn him two days ago, Zhang Wei didn't particularly care, but just ended the promotion in compliance.
Some time ago, the matter of malicious competition may be a big deal in the vegetable market, but for people like Qian Chong, the overlord of the rice market, it is definitely a very small thing, it may be that Zhang Weijia's incident has affected too many retailers, so Qian Chong will send Qian Ming to warn him, and this time the matter should be solved.
Of course, the solution does not mean the end, in the follow-up time, Zhang Wei's business may fall, the two means of promotion are too stimulating to the market, and the sudden end of the promotion may lose some customers, but it should be a small part.
The day passes......
Three days passed......
The influence of promotion is gradually declining, and Zhang Wei has vaguely counted the approximate number of customer losses, about 300 to 500 catties of loss, because there are no discounts, gifts and prizes, the money earned has increased, and there will be no change in business for the time being.
Worry no more.
Huh, Zhang Wei was relieved to hang his heart, the family's business was stable at 4,500 catties of sales, and now he just waited to make more money over time, and then he would consider investing something to make a fortune!
β¦β¦
Had dinner.
Zhang Wei went with his father to buy goods, and the rice in the store was sold out.
It's already past six o'clock in the evening, and the wholesale market where Qian Chong is located is still full of people, but fortunately it is summer, and if it is winter, the wholesale market will close at six o'clock in the afternoon.
"Dad, this time we have to go back with more rice, saving three days and two runs. "Zhang Wei said, anyway, now that the family is making money, don't buy seven or eight thousand catties of rice every time, simply buy 20,000 catties of rice at one time, anyway, the business at home is good, 20,000 catties can be sold in a week at most, and it will be 14,000 yuan if you buy so much rice.
"Well, just according to what you said before you came, enter 20,000 catties. Zhang Aiguo said with a smile.
Came to Qian Chong's shop.
As soon as he walked in, Zhang Wei found that it seemed to be about to close, and several people were cleaning up and cleaning.
This is not the first time Zhang Wei has come to Qian Chong's wholesale store, but every time he comes, he will be a little puzzled, other people's wholesale stores are generally about 70 square meters, Qian Chong's faΓ§ade is full of 200 square meters, if only the place is spacious and not to make Zhang Wei depressed, you can talk about a wholesale store is similar to a clothing store? What is even more speechless, there are really two seventeen or eighteen-year-old female cashiers.
Inside the wholesale store.
Qian Ming and another young man sat at the small round table, this young man Zhang Wei knew, it was Wang Saijian, Qian Chong's right-hand man known as Sai Zhang Fei, this person was not only loyal, but also Qian Chong's No. 1 thug, specializing in dealing with the old man who owed money for the purchase.
"Uncle Qian, Uncle Wang. Zhang Wei greeted politely.
Qian Ming nodded slightly, and said, "Come and enter the rice with your father again?" I just have something to inform you, so let's sit down first." β
Zhang Wei and his father found a bench and sat down.
I saw Wang Saijian shake the folding fan, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Recently, I heard that your business is very prosperous, how is it?
Zhang Aiguo said: "It's okay, how much you sell is under the care of your boss money." β
Zhang Wei was quite surprised, in his impression, his father has always been an honest person, and he rarely speaks politely.
Qian Ming also smiled and said, "I know how to do business." β
Wang Saijian smiled, and his tone was a little hard: "Some time ago, your family was not kind, right? I understand business competition, but you can't use such vicious means to almost make Lao Li and Lao Chen's family unable to do business!"
Zhang Wei frowned slightly, seeing that his father was a little overwhelmed, and said one by one: "Uncle Wang, our family's promotion is over." β
After a few words about Zhang Wei's unkindness, Qian Ming suddenly changed the topic and said, "I remember telling you about my brother in the panmi factory a few days ago, right?"
Of course I remember this, Zhang Wei still clearly remembers that Qian Ming said that he would give his own discount when the rice factory is down!
Wang Saijian sang and said: "Brother Chong's rice factory hasn't been put down yet, but I don't know how the news has spread, the attitude of several other rice factories has changed, and the ex-factory price of our rice is a lot more expensive, so Brother Chong is thinking about raising the price of rice wholesale to you a little, and it won't rise too much, don't worry!"
Zhang Wei was stunned, in this era, the wholesale price of Qimao is already expensive, and it will rise again? But now that I am holding the goods in other people's hands, there is no way to increase it, just pinch my nose and accept it.
Seeing his father looking at himself, Zhang Wei asked tentatively, "How much?"
"Not much, a dime. Qian Ming said.
When I go, it's not a dime? Many retailers only make a dime of profits? Zhang Wei thought he had heard it wrong, and then asked: "A dime per catty?"
Wang Saijian didn't seem to be satisfied with Zhang Wei's reaction, and said: "Of course, it will rise by one cent per catty, is it still one cent per hundred catties? β
Fall back to a fart!
Are you lying to children?
Zhang Wei knew very well in his heart that if he accepted the other party's price increase today, then don't want to lower the purchase price again in the future, and if he accepts the price increase, the price will fall? Originally, the wholesale price of seven cents was expensive, but I heard that the wholesale price in other parts of the magic capital was only six cents and five, so forget it, and now it is actually going to rise to eight cents? This is a money grab!
Do you think we are all fools? If it weren't for the fact that Qian Chong was a rice wholesaler in the Bay Area, Zhang Wei would never have allowed his own family to buy goods here, and he could tell from Wang Saijian's tone that Qian Chong had occupied the rice market in the Bay Area, and now he was unscrupulously tyrannical! What is estimated that the ex-factory price has risen under the guise of which rice factory is full and only targets one customer? Just because of hearsay, Qian Chong is in the pan rice factory? The rice factory wants to kill him one last time?
Don't be funny, a rice mill doesn't know how many wholesaler customers will care about losing one?
Definitely a disguise!
Qian Chong is estimated to squeeze profits, originally retailers can earn one to two cents, if they accept this price increase, they may only earn a few cents per catty in the future!
If the wholesaler's price increase is accepted, Zhang Weijia will inevitably have to raise the price in order to make a profit, and the consequence of the price increase is to lose a large number of customers, and the customer may reluctantly accept the increase of five points, if it rises by one dime, no one is willing to accept it, and one hundred catties will be ten yuan more expensive! Now ten yuan is equivalent to forty or fifty yuan in the future!
Zhang Wei knew that he must not agree, otherwise the family business would not be able to continue, so he said euphemistically: "A dime is too much." β
"yes, that's a dime. Zhang Aiguo echoed.
Wang Saijian's eyelids were slightly raised, his face was not very good-looking, and he said: "We are informing you, not discussing with you, you should think about it!"
Qian Ming twisted his eyebrows and said, "If you don't accept the price increase, then I will have to cut off your family's supply." β
Wang Saijian looked at Zhang Wei and his son with a gloomy face, and said in a very rushed tone: "You have to think about it clearly, there are no other wholesalers in the Bay Area except us, and wholesalers in other places can't come in, if you don't accept the price increase, don't sell rice, or get out of the Bay Area!"
It's okay not to listen to this, as soon as I heard Zhang Wei, I got angry, the last time Qian Ming came home to end the promotion, it was also like this, and now the price is going to rise, and the stock will be out of supply at every turn, it's too much, right?
Zhang Wei was too angry and unhappy in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't directly collide with the other party, so he could only say: "Dad, let's go back and think about it." β
"Hmm. β
Zhang Aiguo responded.
Qian Ming sneered: "I advise you to think about it now!"
Zhang Wei still said firmly: "This is a big deal, Dad, let's go back and think about it, and then give Uncle Qian an answer after thinking clearly!"
"Okay!" Zhang Aiguo also responded firmly.
Several other people in the store looked at Zhang Wei and his son, and there was an inexplicable mockery in their eyes.
Wang Saijian smiled instead, patted Zhang Aiguo's shoulder, and said: "I wish your family a prosperous business, and we will not force it if we refuse to raise prices!
This meaning is already very clear, if you don't accept the price increase, you won't supply rice, and Zhang Wei also knows that it will be impossible to take rice from Qian Chong in the future!
But so what?
The price increase must not go up so much!
If you want to turn all the retailers into your money-making opportunities, go on a dream! I don't believe that without Zhang Butcher, you still have to eat hairy pork!
Zhang Wei suddenly had a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come, and the wind was full of buildings!
