Chapter 12: The First Pot of Gold
In the next few days, Jiang Hui was busy going to several other markets to do inspections, in order to better grasp the flow of people and sales at different points in time, he could be regarded as leaving early and returning late these days.
After a few days, not only did I feel the price information of denim shorts and short skirts in the zoo wholesale market, but also had a bottom of my mind about the daily sales. I also talked to the preliminary about the tone of some shops, and asked if there was a similar source of goods for them.
Many companies said that if the product quality and price were fine, they would consider purchasing from Jiang Hui, and a few said that they could sell it first, but they would not give money first, and they would settle the settlement after selling it.
In the middle, Jiang Hui urged his father to hurry up and ship them, and doubled the number of denim shorts and denim skirts from 100 to 200 pieces.
Although Yangcheng and the imperial capital are big cities, the speed will be faster, but it will take four or five days or even more than a week. The peak season for denim shorts and skirts is mainly in the last month or two, after which it is difficult to sell when the weather is cold.
Jiang Hui has been going out early and returning late these days, and the staff in the dormitory are curious about what he is busy with. However, the shadow of the goods had not yet been seen, and he had not thought about what to say, so Jiang Hui had to find an excuse to deal with it first.
The courier order of the post office is only delivered to the college, and then the class leader of each class will pick it up and distribute it to the corresponding personnel, but the sending and receiving records can be found in the mailroom of the college. In order to receive the package as soon as possible, Jiang Hui would go every morning in the next few days to see if he had his own package list, and once he saw it, he urged the squad leader to hurry up and help get it back.
On Tuesday, September 9th, the parcel list finally arrived. After taking physics class, Jiang Hui packed up his books and hurried to He Ling's side, and told her to help him go to the college's mailroom to pick up the letters, parcels, etc. in the class. In fact, it stands to reason that everyone can receive it by themselves, but the aunt in the mailroom is troublesome, and the regulations require that the things of each class be collected by the class leader.
This is the first time Jiang Hui and He Ling have spoken, and the last conversation in the cafeteria was Wang Lu.
"Class leader, I have a package that has arrived, and I need you to help you go to the college's mailroom to pick it up."
"Ah, I haven't been to the mailroom to get something, the counselor told us once during the class president's regular meeting, sorry, I'll go right away. He Ling felt that her work was not in place, and she was a little embarrassed to say.
"It's okay, I know where it is, let's go over together."
"Okay".
After speaking, Jiang Hui walked out of the classroom with He Ling, and Wang Lu, who was sitting next to He Ling, watched them walk out of the classroom with a suspicious expression.
After getting the parcel list, Jiang Hui hurriedly went to the post office next to the school to pick up the parcel, said thank you to He Ling and hurriedly walked away.
"What are you doing, such a strange look. Looking at Jiang Hui's back, He Ling muttered a few words.
Jiang Hui quickly got the package, it was a big bag, although they were all shorts and short skirts, but the four hundred pieces were at least seventy or eighty pounds together. I had no choice but to grit my teeth, sometimes hugging it, sometimes carrying it back to the dormitory.
Unwrapping the package, there are four styles of denim shorts and denim skirts, grab seven or eight pieces of each and put them in the backpack, move the package to the balcony and put it away, Jiang Hui went out and went directly to the zoo market.
Time is money, and Jiang Hui realized the true meaning of this sentence for the first time.
The average cost of this batch of goods is about six yuan and five yuan per piece, and it is estimated that it can be reduced to more than five yuan in the future. Jiang Hui was going to sell it to the shop owners for ten to fifteen yuan.
There are several in the market, in order to make himself feel the joy of success first, Jiang Hui, the first to sell the successful shop, is ready to sell the goods at a minimum price of 10 yuan, and then ship them at a higher price when they are sold in other markets in combination with the sales situation.
The first stop was the zoo's Kinchalide Market, and due to the many investigations in the early stage, Jiang Hui went directly to various shops to start his sales journey.
Hard work pays off, for the owners of these small shops, as long as the cost performance is high, it is the same wherever they buy from. The price given by Jiang Hui was much lower than their previous one, and the quality of the clothes was no problem, so soon a boss agreed to buy it.
Jiang Hui only brought samples today, and left one sample before negotiating a family, and then agreed that the thirty or so samples would be gone not long before tonight. Generally, each house is a trial sale of eight pieces of ten, and then add if it sells well.
Jiang Hui calculated, today's trip has sold out almost 300 products, the average price is about 11 yuan, and there are 100 pieces that are estimated to be sold immediately after another trip, but now the anxiety is that the inventory is not enough.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hui hurriedly called his father in Yangcheng and told him about the hot sales, and asked him to arrange for another 1,000 denim shorts and denim skirts to come over.
After making the call, there was a "grunt" sound in my stomach, and I remembered that I hadn't eaten lunch yet, so I bought an egg scone at the stall next to the bus stop to cope with it.
After returning to school by car, Jiang Hui specifically counted the number of sales today, which reached three hundred and five. After counting the styles and classifying them according to the order, Jiang Hui put the remaining ninety-five pieces in the wardrobe, and Jiang Hui picked up the package and delivered it.
The payment was very smooth, after all, the list was not big, but it meant very different to Jiang Hui.
The profit per piece of clothing was about 4.5 yuan, and he earned almost 1,400 yuan in one day, which was the first money Jiang Hui had earned since he was reborn.
Considering that Yangcheng did not ship it so quickly, Jiang Hui was going to use the remaining ninety-five pieces of clothes as a sales sample, and only left samples in stores with relatively large orders, and other stores did not have samples to leave and deliver them directly next week.
With the development of the distribution, each shop may increase orders at any time, although Jiang Hui also left the phone of his dormitory, but after all, he can't stay by the phone all day, it seems that he has to consider a mobile communication tool.
There is a Zhongxun communication next to the school, which sells mobile phones, PHS and other products.
After dinner in the evening, although he was very tired after a day of tossing, Jiang Hui was still ready to go to Zhongxun to buy a PHS to facilitate the promotion of the business later.
In 2003, BJ Netcom's PHS made Mobile Unicom scramble, the phone bill was lower, and the answer was free, forcing Mobile Linkage to follow the price reduction, but the two-way charging regulations have been reluctant to cancel.
For people like Jiang Hui, who are used to using smartphones, no matter which brand the mobile phone in 2003 is, no matter how high-end the model is, it doesn't feel like it. It is better to choose the cheapest PHS.
In 2003, BJ Netcom's PHS was vigorously promoting the "Campus Trip": an activity of 70 yuan per month (2.3 yuan per day), with unlimited calls to local calls and text messages.
Jiang Hui decisively spent more than 700 yuan to buy an ordinary PHS, and then handled the campus tour package. After I got it, I first called my dad and told him that this was my new PHS number.
