Chapter 57: Not for Sale
Take it one step at a time, and it hasn't really reached the point where you really need to give up.
It was carried onto the shelves and squatted by Winona, and the two girls began to pack up the cardboard boxes full of fruit, and called a man from their studio to work as a coolie, Winona smiled and asked the other party to cheer up, and put the fruit and the price tag with Katie.
The opening process went more smoothly than Katie expected, and at this moment, a young man on a bicycle stopped and took off his headphones and asked her, "What are you doing here, selling fruit?"
"Yes, do you need one?" asked Katie.
Being beautiful is an advantage, and I didn't plan to buy it at all, but after hearing this, the ghost sent a sentence: "Do you have a watermelon, bring me a watermelon." ”
"Of course, you wait a while, I'll help you find it!"
Seeing the customer come to the door, Winona was immediately excited, found the box containing the watermelon, opened it, and held it out casually: "How is it?"
"Yes, but I only need half of it. ”
"Half?"
Winona looked at Katie, who realized that she had forgotten to buy a fruit knife, her head was spinning fast, and she didn't want to miss the opening business like this, and said, "You can pick a small watermelon, as the first customer today, the price will be cheaper." ”
The white young man on a bicycle, who didn't remember why he wanted to buy a watermelon, let alone a whole watermelon, smiled and said, "OK, you can help me choose one." ”
"Thank you, don't worry, the watermelon is delicious this season. ”
Katie had bought it, and knew what it made to make the best melon, so she held one and put it on the electronic scale that had been set up last night, for a total of five pounds and twenty pence, and only five pounds, and put it in a plastic bag.
Most parts of the UK have plastic bag charging laws, according to which retailers employing more than 250 full-time employees must charge five pence for each single-use plastic shopping bag used by customers.
This is a fruit stand, and it is inconvenient to buy too many fruits, so Katie deliberately bought boxes of plastic bags, the price is high, but the more environmentally friendly kind invisibly increases the cost.
They all sell some high-quality high-quality fruits, and the profits are relatively high, so you don't have to worry about this expenditure, after opening the first business, until they put all kinds of fruits in place, and they didn't welcome a second customer, there are quite a lot of people passing by.
This is also normal, it is still working time, and few people will buy fruit in the morning.
Pudding was paying attention to the passers-by, and the people who watched Katie and Winona were obviously more concerned than the fruits, and there were so many large boxes next to them, there was no doubt that there was too much wholesale of goods.
Originally, she wanted to buy them in two to three days, but she forgot that there was no place to put them, and the cinema had not yet opened, so Katie wanted to discuss with the theater manager to temporarily rent a warehouse from it.
This sales model is completely different from Du Yu's original imagination, he planned to open a store before.
However, not to mention the lack of money to invest for the time being, setting up a stall can indeed understand the problems of this industry in advance, and it is considered to accumulate some experience, if you feel that it is not good, then give up directly, the cost of failure is not much, so low that even he can accept it......
Miss Winona is a freelancer with a special job, in other words, she is often idle from morning till night until she has nothing to do, otherwise she would come over to help Katie.
Until now, it was not clear that Pudding was "Mr. Agent", and she was busy from the morning until nearly ten o'clock, so she had time to go to the convenience store to buy sandwiches and water, and doze off for breakfast.
"I'm sorry, you came to help and you bought these things, and the money should be paid for ...... I'm right. Katie glanced at the pudding as she said this, and only she knew that the business belonged to the cat.
"It's okay, we're friends, don't worry about that. Even if I didn't come, I still had to have breakfast, didn't I?"
Winona, who has high enough emotional intelligence, said that she purely came to help, experience life and pass the time by the way, and never thought about making money from this.
Changing the topic and asking the bottom of my heart: "How can the method of marketing the account already tell you, why do you still want to sell these? There are many other good ways to make money, you are more beautiful than me, you can be a model or something, I know a lot of people who are engaged in this industry, only sell for about a month, and definitely can't make too much money." ”
If Katie really had been poor, she would certainly not have talked about such a sensitive topic to avoid irritating the new friend.
But Katie clearly has good resources, but she chooses to sell fruits on the street, Winona doesn't understand her approach, who would have thought that this is Du Yu's business.
A fruit stand of this size is likely to make a small amount of money, and it is too difficult to make a fortune from it, at least so far, the business can only be said to be barely okay, and several businesses have been done one after another, which have been bought by office workers who want to use fruit for breakfast.
"I see what you mean, it's just an attempt to prepare for my next paper. "Just made an excuse, Katie didn't want to talk more about this embarrassing question, who let her boss Pudding, choose to do business on a whim?
"Oh~ I see, you see the message I sent, someone asked us where we were, we want to buy something!"
Katie leaned over and read it, and said with a smile: "This is very good, I will post one now, I feel that only one fruit stand is too monotonous, we should do something more, so that passers-by notice us." ”
Winona asked her, "What exactly?"
"I'm still figuring out how to do it, and it's better to look at how other companies are doing it. ”
Just then, a little girl stood in front of Pudding, let out a cry of surprise, and asked Katie, "How much will it cost me to buy it?"
Looking at the crowded streets, I got tired of it for a while, Pudding was lying on a pile of foam boxes and closed my eyes to recuperate, and waved her little paws when she heard the words, silently asking her to play elsewhere, Uncle Ben is not for sale.
Katie bent over her knees with her hands and replied, "I don't sell this cat, but can you buy some delicious fruit, do you like strawberries?"
"Bring my daughter a box, preferably somewhere to wash it and use it as lunch at noon. The little girl's mother said that she was carrying a briefcase and that she was supposed to work in the neighborhood.
The customer is God, but there is no clean water here, and Katie can't help it.
Knowing that there was nowhere to wash, the lady in the dress said sorry and left, Katie sighed, she had never dealt with these customers.
Du Yu is much calmer, the business has just started, it is not easy, such as fruit stalls, as long as the service attitude is good enough, not shoddy, can slowly accumulate regular customers.
He had one thing on his mind: school lunch.
I still remember that in the early days of the orphanage, fruit would be distributed in the morning, the cut kind, and then it would be turned into a whole apple or banana, which would be washed and put on a plate.
I wonder if there will be a market if I sell it directly to the school, and it seems that office workers will like it......
