Chapter Twenty-Six: Fangfang Ornaments
The formalities will be handed over to the three adults, Luo Ning is too young to help in this matter, that is, he can help with some ideas. The three of them discussed, there should be no problem with the Education Bureau, and then find the relationship with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to handle the other procedures together, and it is estimated that it will take a while to operate.
The music class was on track, and everything was shared and cooperated, and someone was in charge, so Luo Ning was idle. That's how I enjoyed my student life. In addition to the vocal class, she even enrolled in the recorder class and the trumpet class together. It's all something she hadn't learned in her previous life, and she wants to try everything.
She has already thought that after the winter vacation class starts, she should have enough funds to buy a piano, and then open a piano class and make it a small class teaching, with a maximum of four students in a class, and she can learn piano again.
During the New Year's Day holiday, Luo Ning went to Longkou, and Lin Fang had already asked Jiang Fenglian to bring her a message, and she had something to discuss with her.
"Sister Lin Fang, what's the matter?" Luo Ning asked.
Lin Fang said: "Our business is relatively stable now, and your aunt and I have not rested for three consecutive months, and the necklaces and bracelets we have made will be enough to sell." So last month I took it upon myself to call my cousin Xie Li to help, so we could rotate four days off every month. Until now, there are only more than 600 necklaces and more than 1,000 bracelets. If it's just a normal stall, the three of us can be busy. But last month, someone approached us and wanted to buy goods from us and sell them in the Cuiyun Mountain Scenic Area in Shun'an City. We didn't promise them for the time being, and we thought we'd talk to you about it first. ”
Luo Ning thought for a while and said, "Sister Lin Fang, if it's true, it's a good thing, but we have to be careful not to sell it to our local vendors." If they really come from Cuiyun Mountain and are willing to buy from us, then we can take the opportunity to expand, although the profit may be a little less, but it adds up to a lot, and we still have a profit. ”
"I've talked to them, and I've seen their ID cards and booth badges, and it's true that they're from Cuiyun Mountain. They also sell trinkets, and when they saw the necklaces and bracelets we sold from tourists, they thought they were very beautiful, so they asked the tourists. Then I made a special trip to Longqingshan to find us. I promised them to get back to them as soon as possible. Lin Fang is still very thoughtful about things, and has already done a basic investigation.
Luo Ning said: "You can promise to supply them with the specific price, Sister Lin Fang, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Lin Fang thought for a while and said: "We now have about two cents for each necklace, and the bracelet is one cent and four, plus the manual fee, I think the necklace is priced at four cents and five, and the bracelet is priced at three cents and five." What do you think?"
Lin Fang has been in business for a while, and it is indeed more advanced than before, and the price is higher than what she sold to Luo Ning before. But Luo Ning was not satisfied with the price: "Sister Lin Fang, this price is low." I think necklaces should be priced at least seven cents a piece, and bracelets should be priced at least five cents a piece. First, it avoids the increase in costs of materials in the future. Second, we must increase their purchase costs, and their selling prices will be higher than ours. Anyway, they are selling it on the side of Cuiyun Mountain, and it won't affect them. At the same time, it can also avoid local counterparts coming to us to buy goods and compete with us. ”
Lin Fang asked in surprise, "How can it be avoided?"
Luo Ning said: "The purchase price is so high, if someone wants to sell locally, they can only sell it at the same price as us, the profit is too thin to be cost-effective, if they sell at a high price, they will definitely not be able to sell us." ”
Lin Fang suddenly realized: "That's right! In this way, we can expand our business, and we are not afraid that someone will take advantage of it." ”
"But then we don't have enough people. Luo Ning said, "Sister Lin Fang, how many more people do you think we need?"
Lin Fang said: "During this time, the goods in Tun should only be enough for one month's shipment. We still need to recruit at least three people, one is because it takes time to learn, and the initial efficiency is not high. Second, it takes time to practice, and if there are only two people, I am afraid that it will not be enough. ”
"Then do you have a suitable candidate?" Luo Ning asked, she had promised Lin Fang before, and let her choose someone this time.
Lin Fang said: "I have two candidates, both of whom are my good friends Yu Min and Li Hongmei. Both of them are currently working as farmers at home, and they will definitely want to come. ”
Luo Ning nodded and said, "Okay, then you call them all." I'll go to Uncle Hong and ask them to find someone. It's just that there are so many people, I'm afraid there is no place for them to live?"
Lin Fang thought for a moment and said, "Actually, we don't need to call them all here. My mom and my brother moved to the county seat last month, we can call everyone to my mom, I go to the county seat to teach them, and the shipment will also be shipped from the county seat, so as not to have two more freight. ”
"That's the best. "But in order to protect our own business and our sign, we should use the name of our product as a sign." In the future, every necklace and bracelet will also have our brand name on it. Let others know that it is our product at a glance. ”
"It's a good idea. Luo Ning, you are so smart!" Lin Fang was once again shocked by Luo Ning's intelligence. She couldn't even think of any of these ideas.
Luo Ning smiled: "It's nothing." Sister Lin Fang, think about it, what name do you want to give our products?"
Lin Fang was surprised and said, "Luo Ning, are you willing to let me take the name?"
Luo Ning smiled: "Sister Lin Fang, these rope patterns are all self-taught, you are our living signboard, of course the name should be chosen by you." ”
Lin Fang thought for a while: "Then it's called Fangfang jewelry! I will add a Fang character to all products in the future, and others will not be able to imitate it." ”
Luo Ning asked, "Sister Lin Fang, can you make up the words directly on it?"
Lin Fang said: "It shouldn't be a big problem, I'll give it a try." ”
"If you can really make it up directly, it will save trouble. If it doesn't work, we can make a small pendant with words on it from rags and add it to it. Luo Ning suggested.
Lin Fang nodded: "I'll try it first, if it doesn't work, use the method you said." ”
"Sister Lin Fang, you make another signboard of Fangfang jewelry and hang it on our stall. ”
"Yes, I see. I'll get it done as soon as I can. ”
After discussing the matter, Luo Ning came directly to Hong Guowei's office.
"Uncle Hong, I will discuss something with you. Sister Lin Fang needs to increase manpower, she already has two candidates, and she still needs to find a reliable person, can you see if you have a suitable candidate?"
Hong Guowei smiled and said: "Luo Ning, you are giving a favor to Uncle Hong! Okay, Uncle Hong accepts your affection." I really have a good candidate here, it is Limin's aunt, your aunt's sister. She is more honest and credible. ”
Luo Ning clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Uncle Hong, then you tell your aunt and let her help watch the business." We plan to set up a point in the county town and ship goods to other merchants. You asked your aunt to contact Sister Lin Fang directly, and she worked in the county, and her salary was thirty a month at the beginning. ”
Hong Guowei said: "Okay, just do it." ”
