Chapter 26: New Sources of Supply
I ran three supply and marketing cooperatives in the morning, and the prices were similar to Manager Sun's, and one was cheaper, but it was not cost-effective to calculate that it was not cost-effective.
"Hao'an, why don't we raise the price. Zhang Jian thought about it and suggested. They sell fruit boxes just to make money, completely using fresh fruits, the cost is too high, they can earn it, won't Wang Haoan lose money.
"Not good. Do you know why the fruit box is priced at 10 yuan? One is because it is convenient to collect and pay, and most of the time there is no need to find money, which reduces the possibility of receiving the wrong money, remember that our money was wrong on the first day, right?"
"In addition, it is sold on the platform, many people are in a hurry to get on the train, you are too slow to find money, others would rather not buy it, and you can't get off the train, right?"
Wang Hao'an added in his heart, there is also a good accounting, how many boxes are sold, and how much money should be charged at a glance.
"The price of ten yuan is already very expensive, and if it is more expensive, then the sales will definitely decline, and our profits may not increase. I tried to find a way to do it, but it really didn't work, so I reduced the variety of fruits in the assorted fruit box. ”
Assorted fruit boxes are the best to sell, there are five kinds of fruits inside, compared to apples and oranges, the price of cantaloupe and grapefruit is too expensive, but just apples and oranges, there must be a lot fewer people who want to buy them, because these two fruits are also common in winter.
When he returned home at noon, Wang Haoan was a little absent-minded when he was eating.
"What's the matter, don't you think my cooking is not delicious? Wang Haoping said dissatisfiedly.
"I'll take you out to eat at noon tomorrow, and you can say whatever you want. Wang Haoan looks like a local tyrant.
"Really, let's go eat the casserole pot tomorrow on the corner." "Every time I pass by there, I can smell the fragrance, but unfortunately I have never eaten it. Now she suddenly felt that the food she cooked was not delicious.
There was a sound of cars downstairs, Wang Haoan walked to the window and took a look, it was fruit!
He immediately put on his shoes, pushed open the door and ran downstairs.
"Why are you going, are you still eating?" Wang Haoping shouted behind him. My cooking is so bad, that's all you eat?
"If you don't eat it, I'm fine. ”
When he ran to the warehouse, he saw someone unloading the fruit, so he leaned next to the driver: "This is the fruit bought in the factory?
The driver glanced at Wang Haoan, guessing that it might be a child from the factory, and replied casually: "Apples, transported from Shencheng." ”
Wang Haoan's eyes lit up: "You don't just have this cart of apples, do you have other fruits? If I buy more, can it be cheaper?"
This should be cheaper than buying it from the supply and marketing cooperatives, after all, there is one less change of hands.
"You buy it, I'll be a delivery driver, this is all ordered by your factory, you have to buy it and go to your logistics office, or go to the warehouse yourself." ”
Uh~~ Hit a nail.
At this time, there are very few self-employed people who pour fruits, mainly because most families are reluctant to buy fruits, because the price of fruits is comparable to the price of meat.
For example, on the street, it is difficult to find a fruit shop, and you can only go to the vegetable market to find a stall selling fruit, but there are few of them. Wang Haoan suddenly patted his head, and actually forgot the truth that it was dark under the lamp.
What is the main basis for inter-provincial logistics today? Not those big trucks, let alone airplanes, but trains. Then there must be a warehouse near the train station that sells fruits, and he can go there to wholesale directly.
In the afternoon, Wang Haoan came to the railway station again, but it was not Bingcheng Railway Station, but another small station, which is also the most important freight station in Bingcheng.
After a while, I found a fruit warehouse that was being loaded.
"Boss, do you wholesale fruit here?"
"Wholesale, how much do you want, which unit, if it is too far, we can't guarantee door-to-door delivery. A man in a dogskin hat walked over, took out a crumpled pack of Bingcheng cigarettes from his pocket, took out two and handed them over.
"Thanks, no. What fruits do you have here, and what is the wholesale price?"
"As long as you can buy fruits in Bingcheng, we have them here, we are a state-run cargo station, and the fruits of the political axe organs for the New Year are all purchased from us, as well as supply and marketing cooperatives, and major factories are also bought from me. It's a Kuniko apple, and the price is ...... Batch of 50 boxes. ”
Wang Haoan was overjoyed, the price quoted was seventy percent of what the supply and marketing cooperatives gave them, so calculated, a box of assorted fruits, he could have more than two yuan of profits, planing off the commission given to Zhang Zikang, and then planing off the loss, he could also earn a piece of a box.
It seems that he and Zhang Zikang earn the same money, but those dozen or so people are all working for him, and he alone can earn more than ten times that of others.
After bargaining for a long time, Wang Haoan selected six kinds of fruits, added a banana this time, and put together sixty boxes, spending all the money he had earned in the past ten days. Fortunately, Zhang Zikang and they can still get some money back this afternoon, otherwise the money for the lunch box will be gone.
……
"Brother Anzi, it's all fresh fruits, how much does it cost? Didn't you say bananas can't work, why did you get so many of them this time?"
"Of course, rotten bananas can't be sold, these are all fresh, expensive, and half a banana will be added to a box in the future." From today onwards, we will not sell those that are not fresh, or the previous price. ”
"Brother An Zi, are you not making money?" Zhang Zikang hesitated and asked. He wants to make money, but he can't let Brother An Zige lose money.
"Fart, this is not from the supply and marketing cooperative, it is cheaper than that, I earn less, but I still have to earn, and I still use you kid to worry about me?"
"That's, Brother Anzi, who is it, a college student, not better than your brain. There was a smile next to him.
"Brother An Zi is stronger than me, are you also better than me? I was the first to sell out this afternoon, if I hadn't helped you, would you be able to come back now?" Zhang Zikang said angrily.
"Didn't I sell those two boxes you left over the day before yesterday?"
A few boys quarreled again, this kind of thing happens almost every day, but they just sell more to each other, and they don't really blush.
I heard them say that they haven't seen the people who made trouble before in the past few days, and I don't know if they stopped doing this or changed places. Wang Haoan also reminded Zhang Jian to pay attention every day, but he was too worried.
found a place to wholesale fruits, the cost was able to be controlled, and Wang Haoan felt that the business could continue to be done after the New Year. Although the sales volume will decline, the profit is still there, and he can completely hand it over to Zhang Jianguan, or Zhang Zikang, and be a hands-off shopkeeper himself.
It's not that he is reluctant to give this business to Zhang Jian and them, it's just that they don't have the capital, the money for the purchase is not a small amount, and if they can't sell it, they may rot, and their family will definitely not take this risk.
When he thought that he didn't need to worry about this matter, Zhang Hongguo found Wang Haoan with a look of embarrassment.
