Chapter 21: Old-School Thinking
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations.
At this time, there were several more orders in the store, and Li's father took Li Shiyu to start running non-stop, each time he still installed 10 units, and sent them to the construction site one by one.
After seven or eight days of busy work, I finally rented out all these TV sets.
"Xiangsheng, I didn't expect this TV to be so popular, it's only been a few days, and it's all been rented, and there are a lot of people who come to ask, and they don't dare to take the money. Mother Li took the record book and said to Father Li.
"I would have received more if I had known. "Father Li is also very regretful, he was afraid that it would not be easy to deal with it, and he didn't dare to accept it if he was in good condition, and the price was a little higher.
"Mom, how many units have been rented out?" Li Shiyu has been busy for the past few days, and he didn't calculate this number.
Mother Li took the record book and turned to the last page, looked at the serial number and summary: "There are 387 in total, including 145 color TVs and 242 black and white." There are still 20 units that have already been paid, and there are no goods to be delivered, a total of 407 units. ”
Li Shiyu calculated in his heart: These 407 TVs, the daily rent is 552, and there are more than 150,000 a year, but this is just an ideal state, in fact, a TV set cannot be rented out all the time, and some people who rent for a long time will choose not to return the TV, and buy it directly, so it is estimated to be 100,000 in a year.
100,000 yuan in 91 is not a small amount, in the north longitude, let the sea, Shenzhen can buy two houses of about 50 square meters. There are no big houses now, they are all standard 50 square meters.
Father Li didn't seem to have any feelings, but he was a little anxious about the unfinished order: "Guiyuan, tomorrow I will still go to collect the scrap, and the family will hand it over to you, and I don't know how many days it will take for more than 20 TVs to be received." ”
Mother Li, who is particularly sensitive to money, gave full play to her strengths: "This time we will raise the price of the TV, 15 yuan, last time there were several asking for 15 yuan, we only sold 10 yuan, there is no sale, I remember that place, Shiyu, tomorrow you look after the house, I will go with your father, and strive to collect a little more, this is all money." ”
"Let's go alone, Shiyu is still so young, how can I be busy when the villagers come to deliver scrap?" Although his son has given him a lot of surprises during this time, after all, he is only less than 10 years old, so many things, how can he rest assured.
Li Shiyu thought to himself, he is dozens of years old, isn't it just to watch the house and collect a scrap, and he said: "Dad, you can rest assured, the people who send the scrap are some fellow villagers, and nothing will happen." Besides, I'm such a big person, it's time to exercise, and I can't let you accompany me in everything. ”
Father Li glared at Li Shiyu: "How old are you, are you ten years old?"
Li Shiyu immediately froze when he heard this: Hey, this age is a hard injury.
"What's wrong with the ten-year-old, there was a twelve-year-old prime minister in ancient times, and it's not a big deal to collect waste, so I weigh it and keep a count, these methods are still taught to me by my son, and I'm afraid he will make a mistake. "Mother Li collects waste at home, she can't see the money, and her heart is always unsteady, and now the deposit for the TV set alone is more than 90,000 yuan, and she will have an income of several hundred every day in the future, how can she still sit still.
At home, the father is in charge of big things, and the mother is in charge of small things, of course, Mother Li has the final say.
However, Li Shiyu still has his own ideas, and said: "Dad, it's still not good, now there are more than 20 orders a day, and more and more people will know about our store in the future, and more will be ordered when the time comes, and the two of you can't complete the TV set, what do you think? ”
Mother Li heard Li Shiyu's words and said, "Yes, you can't have a business that you don't do, it's a dollar a day." ”
Father Li said: "That's no way, there are only two of us, and we can collect more than ten units a day at most." ”
Li Shiyu pretended to think about it and said: "Dad, you're right, there are only a dozen at most two people, otherwise, let's recruit people, just our family of three, we can only do so much if we are tired, now the villagers believe in us, the waste products are sold to us, and I can't be busy at home alone." ”
Mother Li glared at Li Shiyu: "You don't need money to recruit people, the price of the construction site has risen, and the small worker in the first half of the year is only 15 yuan, and now there is no 20 yuan a day, who will do it for you." ”
Li Shiyu was also helpless: "Mom, let me ask you a question, are we too busy now?"
Mother Li had a stupid expression: "You also ask such an idiotic question, aren't you too busy to discuss it here?"
Li Shiyu was convinced: "Okay, let me put it another way, are there a lot of orders for TVs piled up at home now, and there will be a great demand for TVs from workers in the future?"
"That is, every time I go to a construction site now, those workers are asking, when will there be a TV, you must help me keep it first. As soon as I said this, my mother was a little proud, and every day someone said good things, and it was so good to beg.
"Then I, a third-grader of primary school, will settle the account for you, and now I will ask a worker to give him 20 a day, and let him send a TV, 8 sets at a time, 1 hour at a time, and give him 8 hours of working time a day. ”
Mother Li interrupted Li Shiyu's words: "How can it be 8 hours, they are all 10 hours on the construction site, and we are relaxed here, at least 12 hours." ”
Li Shiyu didn't refute either, and said along the way: "Okay, let's count 12 hours, excluding meals and rest time, count 8 hours, then we can send 8 times a day, a total of 64 TVs, 1 yuan each, that is, 64 yuan, in addition to the worker's salary 20, we can also earn 44 yuan, now my dear mother, you tell me, is it a loss or a profit to invite someone?"
Mother Li listened to Li Shiyu's calculation, and it was really such a reason, but as the actual controller of the family, how could she admit defeat like this: "Even if what you say makes sense, this person is not so easy to invite, and if you are not at ease, you will load this thing halfway and run away, who are you looking for?"
This is why many of Huaxia's enterprises are family-owned, which has something to do with many aspects, and Li's mother's scruples are also reasonable.
Li Shiyu heard that so-and-so was taken away by his secretary or subordinates who carried the box containing money, and lost hundreds of thousands, which is really not uncommon, those Hong Kong people, foreigners, have always acted in accordance with the rules of foreign countries, and the bags and everything are carried by the younger brother, thinking that this is a good way, so it gives some impure people a chance.
