Chapter Twenty-Eight: The University's First Merchant Business
On the third weekend, after adapting to the university, Zhao Hong went to the MH district of Haishi early in the morning, and found Liu Yu according to the address of the Haishi Liaison Office left in the small factory of Hangzhou City Map, the conversation and image of the standard farmer enterprise salesman, and got the first batch of maps according to the agreed price and settlement method, including a large world map, a map of China, and a map of East China, all of which are encapsulated and look very exquisite and very formal. There are even hardcover versions. Zhao Hong took 1,000 yuan of goods, and Liu Yu prepared a number of more professional packaging boxes.
Zhao Hong started his first merchant business in Haishi. 1,000 yuan is already one-fifth of Zhao Hong's net worth now. This business is a choice made by Zhao Hong through analysis after the last inspection, and it is still relatively profitable at present.
This year, there has been a significant increase in private enterprises, especially trading companies, and at this time there is generally a map of China and a map of the region in the office, and the demand has increased greatly, and due to the monopoly industry nature of the map, the profit is very high, the cost of a map is only less than 20% of the price, and the domestic market is monopolized by the Geological Bureau, so only bookstores sell, and it is sold according to the price, you should not be dissatisfied. There is no semicolon other than this one. Hehe!
As for accuracy, the land of China is full of road construction, construction projects, and many geographical location names are originally changing every year, such as the current Haishi. It is impossible to solve the problem of the exact accuracy of the map by who prints the map, and there is no way to solve the problem of the electronic version of the map in 20 years.
Zhao Hong began the first sales journey in his life. I first went to the area where small and medium-sized companies are currently concentrated. I took the car to the vicinity of Nanjing Road, followed the address signs of various companies, especially the not so bad brands, the company names are what tall names of the company, one by one to do strange visits.
From 10 o'clock in the morning to noon before the lunch time, Zhao Hong walked two office buildings, visited more than 30 companies, failed more than 20 times, was thrown out 16 times, said that about 10 have been purchased, and the rest are basically according to the 20% discount of the price to buy 52 maps, of which the largest 2.5 meters by 1.8 meters map sold for 128 yuan, sales reached an astonishing 2368 yuan, net profit reached more than 50%, Zhao Hong's map purchase price is 35% off.
Zhao Hong is very satisfied, the probability of failure is not too high, and the difficulty of sales is not too high, especially since some companies have bought more than one map.
Zhao Hong walked on the road and felt that the drizzle was not so annoying. went to the store to buy bread, and Zhao Hong got on the bus to the business point of the map factory again.
When I met Liu Yu, I told him that the last map was purchased on behalf of the school, and I hoped to be able to sell it at a lower price. Each time 5000 or even more goods are entered, so that students can help with sales and work-study activities. The company is required not to set up a retailer in the Haishi area, but to have Zhao Hong as the sole agent for one year's sales work.
Zhao Hong took another 1,000 yuan of goods and started the afternoon sales activities. (More than 1000 maps, Zhao Hong really can't get it)
It's basically a copy of the morning, and the business of the vendors is still relatively smooth, as for being thrown out and scolding a few words, how can that be a problem? The old salesman, in the previous life, Zhao Hong had a bad temper at other times, but it was terrible when he was doing business. After all, if you want to earn other people's money, don't you want people to lose their temper? People who lose their temper are stupid people, and how can such a smart person be accountable?
If you deal with them, you will become the same person as them, and then you will be beaten by them with years of stupid experience.
In the evening, Zhao Hong returned to school, and he was satisfied with the business of today's vendors. This business can be done, it is easy to do, Zhao Hong will go out as long as he has time, especially Marxism-Leninism and other deputy departments can escape.
After nearly a month, Zhao Hong's principal and profit have reached more than 50,000 yuan.
In fact, Zhao Hong didn't want to do it for a long time, and make it bigger. Because at present, there are still copyright issues with maps, but who in China will care about this issue?
But in the long run, after all, they are taking advantage of the Geological Bureau, what if people want to be serious? Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. Therefore, Zhao Hong is just preparing to do this business in the short term.
On this day, Zhao Hong's sales went very well, and he returned to the dormitory in advance, and saw that he was not there except for Li Weidong, Zhao Hong asked, "What are you doing?"
Wei Dong said, "I went to the work-study center to see what opportunities there were." The accommodation fee of the eldest and second child has not been paid yet, and it has been urged several times. β
Zhao Hong: "It's also difficult for the eldest and second to be the eldest and the second, every day with pickles and sauce tofu, the subsidy has to be sent home for subsidies, which is bitter." Why haven't you come back today?"
Wei Dong sighed and said, "I heard that the work-study position in the school is vacant today, and many people are fighting for it, and it is not enough to grab it, and they are still begging there." I came back first, no way. Where did the third child go out today? I've been very busy lately. β
That night, the eldest and second returned to the dormitory, dejected and knew that they had failed without asking, and after a while, the fifth and sixth children also returned, exhausted, and their clothes were covered with mud and sweat.
Zhao Hong asked, "Where did the sixth and fifth go, why is this the case?"
Zhou Limin and Jiang Zuowei replied while cleaning up, "Recently, I found a construction site, and I worked as a small worker for 6 yuan a day. β
"I was introduced to a co-worker who used to work during the summer vacation. β
The eldest Sun Lin and the second eldest Zhang Weiwu asked anxiously, "Do you still want people?" β
The sixth Zhou Limin shook his head and said, "The project is short of people, and temporary workers are also available, have you two done this work? β
The eldest and second sighed in disappointment.
Zhao Hong thought for a while and asked, "Are you really so short of money now?" There is a job that is more certain than earning money on the construction site, but I don't know if you are willing to do it? Recently, I acted as an agent for a product, which is very easy to do, and I have also earned some money recently. You just can't earn it in the long run. β
The people in the dormitory all looked at Zhao Hong with wide eyes, and the eldest patted Zhao Hong on the shoulder: "Brother, why didn't you say it earlier? Today, I sent my brother to kneel for them, and I didn't ask for a post, so I lost the old man." β
Several other people also stared at Zhao Hong eagerly.
"Third brother, let's make it clear to everyone. The sixth also asked anxiously.
Zhao Hong told everyone about this period of time, and he didn't say much about the profits, so it wouldn't be too shocking.
No one had ever done this, and Zhao Hong explained in detail. In order to eliminate everyone's concerns, it was proposed that no matter how much it could be sold, the minimum salary would be 50 yuan per day, and everyone would earn more points.
Everyone understood, but they didn't agree with Zhao Hong's idea. The minimum salary is okay, and it is not good for everyone to share it if they make more money, Zhao Hong has an idea, the principal, and the salary, and then it is not appropriate to average the score.
Zhao Hong thought about it and agreed. There will be many opportunities in the future. This experience is also a litmus test to see if there is anyone who can be a future partner, and it is very challenging in the face of money.
Everyone was divided into three groups, led by the old six and five who could understand the Haishi dialect and Zhao Hong, and swept the units one by one. Everyone set off together in high spirits on the next afternoon without class.
For the first time, when it was time to get off work, we gathered together near a bank on the street. We were very happy when we met.
I took a taxi back to school, found a restaurant with a private room and started to have dinner, and after I was full of wine and food, I went back to the dormitory and closed the door.
The meeting finally began, and it was inconvenient to say it outside, but now the first thing is to laugh silly for a while, and everyone high-fives together to celebrate the success, and all the maps they brought with them were sold. Zhao Hong also told everyone the basic profit situation, sales of 5,368 yuan, gross profit of 3,166 yuan, everyone was excited again, ready to share 521 yuan per person. At this time, everyone seemed to be in a daze,
Everyone's problem seemed to be solved at once, and the fifth and sixth suddenly said, "No, it's too much, everything is prepared by you alone, we just have some strength, even if you give more, you can't do so much, at least you have to take half of it, and we will divide the rest equally, so it's enough." β
After being stunned for a while, the others also agreed to the proposal. Although the eldest and second child agreed, there was still some reluctance on their faces, but the fourth child was resolutely supportive, and the fifth child said, "Business belongs to business, and human favor belongs to human favor, so we are already taking care of us." β
Zhao Hong is very satisfied with the performance of these roommates, and the rest will get along slowly.
Such days lasted until a month later, and there were more people on the market who began to copy like this, and the price also fell rapidly, and slowly became basically transparent, Zhao Hong also gave up this short and fast project with his roommates, and everyone shared a profit of more than 100,000, Zhao Hong took 50,000, and the others each had 10,000. The rest will be used as funds for 218 dormitory activities.
Zhao Hong now has nearly 200,000 yuan in funds, and has temporarily achieved the initial task goal, but he has been able to do business for one year or two years to more than a month, and Zhao Hong's method of copying is very rough; the manufacturer's lack of credibility has unscrupulously copied Zhao Hong's practice, and he can only sigh that the reputation of the businessman is cultivated because of the lack of bargaining chips for betrayal. The third is that people here are very market-oriented, and if they find an opportunity, everyone will quickly participate in it.
Zhao Hong also needs to rest and rest, he has missed a lot of classes for a long time, and he needs to make up for it quickly, or there will be a lot of trouble in the final exam.
After repeated instructions, the dormitory's collective earning of money has not been fully revealed, at most, the eldest and second have paid the accommodation fee, and the food and clothing in the dormitory have been greatly improved.
Zhao Hong is still very happy and lives the same life as an ordinary college student every day.
Quietly waiting for the next attack.
