Chapter 52: Big Business 4/5
(4,000-word big chapter for votes and collection, the next chapter before half past twelve in the evening)
Two days later.
Night.
Zhang Wei followed his father to Jinyutang, and Xie Fatzi found an empty box and entertained the two very warmly.
In the box.
"My brother-in-law has opened a new restaurant and handed it over to me to be fully responsible, these five hundred catties, you can make it cheaper!" said Xie Fatzi with a smile.
With an additional sales of 500 catties per day, Zhang Wei and his father couldn't help but be happy.
If he went to Yanshi to buy rice, Zhang Wei would never agree, but now it is different, the purchase price is cheaper, he said with a smile: "Dad, let's give Uncle Xie seven cents and five pounds!"
"Okay, it's just seven cents and five, Brother Xie, what do you think?" asked Zhang Aiguo.
There was oil and water to fish, Xie Fatzi smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, by the way, you wait a while, my friend will be coming soon, this time it is a big business for your family!"
"Then we have to thank you, uncle. Zhang Wei said, I couldn't help but look forward to this big business.
The three of them chatted for a while, and there was a knock on the door of the box, and the voice of the waitress came from outside: "Brother Xie, Boss Wang is here." β
Zhang Wei is looking forward to it, is it finally here?
Fat Xie ran over to open the door, and a meticulously dressed man wearing a short-sleeved shirt and gold-rimmed glasses walked in, looking like a successful person.
After the man ran in, he glanced at Zhang Wei and Zhang Aiguo, went straight to Zhang Aiguo, grabbed his hand, and said with a smile: "This must be Boss Zhang that Wen Qiang said, right? I have heard the name of your rice shop on the news!"
Zhang Wei's family had a night news at the promotion meeting, no wonder this man directly asked Xie Fatzi to find his own home, but Zhang Wei was a little speechless about Xie Fatzi's name Xie Wenqiang, why don't you call Xie Wendong? Or you can call Wenqiang directly! Those two people are so tricky, but unfortunately Xie Fatzi is a cook, and it seems that he is about to be promoted to store manager.
"Hello. Zhang Aiguo hurriedly said modestly: "The boss is not a small businessman, I don't know who this is?" The last sentence was said to Xie Fatzi.
"This is my classmate Wang Dongliang. Xie Fatzi pulled his friend to sit down and said, "Come, sit down and talk." β
"This is Boss Zhang's son. Wang Dongliang sat down and said with a smile, took out the wallet from his arms, there was a stack of 100 bills in it, and a few 10 yuan and 50 yuan, his fingers first touched the 100 yuan twice, then moved to the top of the 50 yuan, and took out one and stuffed it into Zhang Wei's hand: "I didn't buy any gifts when we met for the first time, so I really ordered a 50 yuan meeting gift." β
This... Zhang Wei looked a little sweaty, this Wang Dongliang obviously wanted to take a hundred at first, but then hesitated and took fifty yuan, which is stingy enough!
"I can't do it. Zhang Aiguo hurriedly excused himself.
Zhang Wei reacted immediately, pretending to be naΓ―ve and said: "Mom and Dad told me that I can't just take other people's money. After speaking, he wanted to return the money to Wang Dongliang, and he couldn't look down on fifty yuan!
"Don't, it's fate to be able to get acquainted in the vast sea of people, and besides, this time I have something to ask your family, and this meeting gift must be put away. "Wang Dongliang speaks very horizontally.
Zhang Wei saw that Wang Dongliang said that if he didn't accept it, he wouldn't give face, fifty yuan would be fifty yuan, and it would be good to be able to give fifty yuan as a meeting gift this year, generally the New Year's money is only five yuan and ten yuan, and there is a reason, this is the first cash Zhang Wei has after his rebirth!
"Okay, Uncle Wang said that this is on the list, and I don't know how to lift it if I refuse. Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?" As long as you can help me, my father will definitely help." β
"If you can help, I'll help. Zhang Aiguo said.
Fat Xie seemed to be a transparent person, and he didn't speak, just looked at the three of them.
Wang Dongliang glanced at Zhang Wei and his son suspiciously, as if this father and son were a little strange, how did he feel that Lao Tzu listened to his son? Immediately, he didn't think so much, and went directly to the topic, and said: "I just contracted a high school canteen, and I want at least 2,000 catties of rice a day, I heard Wen Qiang say that your rice can be cheaper, so I want to ask what is the lowest price in your house?"
Zhang Wei's eyes lit up, where is this asking his own family to help, it is clearly the owner of the money who sent it! Two thousand catties, the stall can't sell so much rice in a day! Now I just don't know how much the price Xie Fatzi and Wang Dongliang said, but this kind of business must not be let go, otherwise it will be punished by heaven.
"What is Uncle Wang's expected price?" Zhang Wei said.
Wang Dongliang glanced at Zhang Aiguo in confusion and found that he looked taken for granted, so he could only hold back his curiosity and said: "Since you asked, I will tell you directly, as far as I know, the price of rice on the market is eight to nine cents, and the price in my heart is seven cents a catty." β
"Impossible!" Zhang Wei directly refused, slowed down his tone and analyzed: "Since the beginning of this year, the country has been in macroeconomic control, prices have risen, and inflation is fierce, Uncle Wang, the price of eight cents you learned was at least a month ago, right? And to tell you, our purchase price is also seven cents, plus the fare, if we sell you seven cents, our family will definitely lose money." β
Inflation is true, but the price of eight cents a month ago is completely Zhang Wei's nonsense, and the purchase price of seven cents is even more nonsense, now take rice from the Yanshi Machine Rice Factory, the cheapest is only five cents, and the business naturally can't show the hole cards.
Wang Dongliang no longer dares to treat Zhang Wei as an ordinary child, and the state's macroeconomic regulation and control, price rises, and inflation will be ordinary children? No wonder Zhang Aiguo is comfortable letting his son talk, it turns out that this kid is not simple!
Fat Xie looked at Zhang Wei in surprise, he had contacted Zhang Wei many times, and he thought that Zhang Wei was a shy child who didn't like to talk, but he didn't expect to be a completely different person today.
"Then what is your psychological price?" Wang Dongliang felt that Zhang Wei was a little difficult, he hadn't talked to someone before, but others bit him to death.
"I just said, our family has to buy seven cents a catty, you and Uncle Xie are classmates, I will give you seven cents and five, what do you think?" Zhang Weizhi knew that Bamao would not agree, so he tried it by five cents cheaper, and if the other party agreed, there would be a profit of almost two cents.
Sure enough, Wang Dongliang fell into deep thought, and after a while, he exhaled and said, "It's still a little expensive, and the canteen I contracted only buys two yuan and five yuan per meal, which is not very profitable." β
"Are you saying that all the whole food in your canteen is sold?" Zhang Wei was stunned, which school canteen in later generations was not a combination of dishes, and even some schools even opened stir-fried dishes, which was comparable to the restaurant.
"Otherwise, how can you sell it?" said Wang Dongliang a little strangely.
"Uncle Wang, let's do it, I'll give you an idea, if you think it's okay, just seven cents and eighty-one pounds, and if you think it's not good, I'll drop you by three points." Zhang Wei is confident.
Zhang Aiguo laughed when he saw it, he was sure that his son had a bad idea again!
Wang Dongliang smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will deny what you say about your idea or not?"
"If that's the case, I'll admit it, but I believe that you are not such a person, and you are sincere in business. Zhang Wei did not hesitate.
"Okay, I'll listen to your idea, if it's okay, I won't say anything about signing a contract with your family. Wang Dongliang is not a school canteen in his hand, but the school canteen contracted this time is in the Bay Area, and he doesn't want to go far, and several other familiar rice merchants are also eight cents a catty, so he found Xie Fatzi, a catering, and wanted to ask if he knew the rice merchants with low prices in the Bay Area.
Xie Fatzi's first reaction was Zhang Wei's family, although Jin Yutang also took rice for eight cents and a catty, but at the beginning, he took rice for seven cents and five cents, and even took rice at the cost price for a few days, from the bottom of his heart he was grateful to Zhang Wei's family, and more importantly, Zhang Aiguo would stuff Hongta Mountain every once in a while, of course, this was Zhang Wei's idea, plus Zhang Wei's rice store was on the news, as soon as he said it, Wang Dongliang immediately agreed.
"In my opinion, you can set a price for every dish in the school, such as one cent for every two meals, three cents for one green vegetable, and five cents for meat, depending on how you set the price. Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, and decided to say the idea of stir-frying, and said: "And you can also open a window for stir-frying, the price is naturally more expensive than the big pot of dishes." β
These methods have been flooded in later generations, and anyone in later generations can think of them, but the people of this era are relatively simple, and not many people really think of such a means of rolling money.
Everyone's eyes lit up, but Zhang Aiguo was a little puzzled, his son's idea was okay, why didn't he have a bad stomach like usual?
"What if those kids pick the cheap ones to buy?" asked Xie Fatzi curiously.
"Well, that's a good idea. Wang Dongliang said happily, he didn't pay attention to Xie Fatzi's doubts at all, as long as he was a student with a little condition, he would not wronged himself, and besides, people have a sense of comparison, and when they see others eat well, they can bear to eat poorly? His business vision is better than Xie Fatzi, which is why he is a boss, and Xie Fatzi is a cook.
As a small and successful businessman, Wang Dongliang can fully imagine how many business opportunities Zhang Wei has in his mouth, and he dares to guarantee that if he does what Zhang Wei said, his profits will at least rise by several percent!
"Brother Zhang, you have given birth to a good son!" Wang Dongliang sighed, and in his joy, he even changed his name.
Is this the modern version of the legendary son who is like Sun Zhongmou? Zhang Wei touched his nose and laughed.
Zhang Aiguo was also laughing, and said, "Then Brother Wang, this business is settled, when will I start sending rice to you?"
"Let's start next week. Wang Dongliang said and took out the contract from his bag: "Come, let's initialize the contract first, and then sign the formal contract tomorrow." β
Zhang Aiguo was a little at a loss and said: "You don't have to sign a contract." β
Zhang Wei stopped: "Dad, my brother is still settling accounts, how can I not sign the contract?" He turned his head again and said, "Uncle Wang, show me the contract." β
Wang Dongliang was even more curious, and said, "Do you understand what is written on it?" Do you want me to read it to you?"
"Uh......" Zhang Wei was a little cold, he forgot that he was only five years old and had not yet gone to school, and said depressedly: "Okay, Uncle Wang, you can read it again." When he said this, he still looked at the contract in his eyes.
Wang Dongliang laughed at this time, yes, a five-year-old child would be too shocking if he could even understand the contract, the contract was not long, it didn't take him long to finish reading it, in fact, Zhang Wei had already read the contract before he finished reading it.
"This contract doesn't work. Zhang Wei shook his head.
"I think it's good. Zhang Aiguo muttered on the side, but he had always listened to his son about business and did not directly raise objections.
"What did Brother Zhang say?" Wang Dongliang didn't hear clearly.
"My dad said there were some things about the contract that didn't make sense. Zhang Wei changed the topic and said, "For example, the term of three years is too long." β
"Isn't it good to have a longer deadline?" said Wang Dongliang, frowning.
"No, if it is a longer term for other businesses, it is very good, but now that it is inflationary, it is very likely that the cost price of rice will rise next year, and then our small business will not be able to pay this liquidated damages. Zhang Wei said.
This abacus is too finely played!
Even inflation?
Do you want to be so shrewd?
But what Zhang Wei said was very reasonable, and Wang Dongliang couldn't find a reason to refute it, originally he wanted to pit Zhang Wei's family, but he didn't want to be recognized, and he was very depressed.
Fat Xie looked at Zhang Wei with strange eyes, when he went to Zhang Wei's house to buy rice, it seemed that Zhang Wei finally made the decision, this kid is different!
Zhang Aiguo smiled more and more happily, his son is really extraordinary, proud!
"Then what do you say?" asked Wang Dongliang.
"Let's change it from three years to one year, and then add another clause to the contract, and our family has the right of first refusal to renew the contract under the premise of the same price. Zhang Wei said.
Wang Dongliang smiled bitterly and said: "You don't suffer at all, okay, let's initialize the contract, it's a pity that you are too far away, otherwise I really want to hand over the business of several other canteens to your family." β
How many canteens are there? Zhang Wei's eyes lit up, well, I have to find a way to eat it, but not now, wait for the family to buy a truck and try it.
Another 2,000 catties of sales have been added!
Zhang Wei is very satisfied, his family is constantly growing, the old Chen family in the vegetable market is closed, and Li Wangliang's family has no power to fight back, he can sell five or six thousand catties of rice a day, counting Xie Fatzi's 1,000 catties, plus Wang Dongliang's 2,000 catties, and now he can sell 9,000 catties of rice a day!
10,000 catties is just around the corner!
The more money you make, the better your life will be!
If there are two more businesses like Wang Dongliang and Xie Fatzi, Zhang Wei can't help but want to be a wholesaler, but it's a pity that Qian Chong is in the way, and he must go through that hurdle if he wants to become a wholesaler!
Thinking of this Zhang Wei's excited expression became calm again, it was time to think about the future development of the family.
Zhang Wei's expression was seen by Wang Dongliang, originally he said it on purpose, just to find a little confidence in IQ, but this Zhang Wei was not shocked, but he himself was even more depressed!
With a child like you?
