Chapter 184: First Talk
Huang Zhitian saw Li Jian come to the store and greeted Li Jian, "Li Jian, you sit next to me first, I'm done here, let's have a good chat!" ”
Li Jian nodded, found a stool and sat down, "Okay, you get busy first!" ”
After a while, Huang Zhitian sent the customer away, and then came to Li Jianjian's side, stretched out his hand and patted Li Jian's shoulder, "Is it that if you become the champion, you can't look down on the small shop of my brother?" It's a bit uninteresting to come here with so many geniuses! ”
Huang Zhitian is in the book business, educational books are the main item of Huang Zhitian's profits, it can be said that more than 90% of the profits come from all kinds of textbooks, Li Jian, as the top student in the college entrance examination, itself has great use value, not to mention that Li Jian is also doing his own business, and he is mixed up at a young age, so Huang Zhitian did not treat Li Jian as a junior, and intersected with each other as equals, although he was more than ten years older than Li Jian, but he was still the elder brother and the elder brother shouted!
Li Jian's first pot of gold came from Huang Zhitian, if it weren't for Huang Zhitian supplying him at a low price, Li Jian would not have occupied the book market of Nanxi County No. 1 Middle School so quickly, for this old brother, Li Jian is also very respectful, "Brother Huang, blame me, time is too tight, after arriving in Nanzheng, I will not be idle, otherwise I would have come to see you a long time ago!" ”
Huang Zhitian nodded understandingly, looked at the time, it was already more than twelve o'clock at noon, so he said, "Well, brother, I know, otherwise I wouldn't recognize you as a brother, go, brother, I haven't seen you for so long, brother, please eat!" ”
Li Jian said embarrassedly, "I'm here to buy goods this time, and the goods in the store are almost sold out!" If we don't buy again, we'll have to close tomorrow! ”
"Huh? Is your business still so hot? Huang Zhitian said in surprise, and then remembered that there was such a living signboard as Li Jian, if the business of Hongshu Society was bad, it would make people suspicious!
"Hey, just leave this little thing to the people below, let's go, let's go to dinner!"
Huang Zhitian asked Li Jian to say the name and quantity of the textbooks needed, and then instructed the guys in the store to prepare the goods, and then he took Huang Zhitian to a nearby restaurant to eat!
After two glasses of beer, Li Jian asked, "Brother Huang, how is business now?" ”
"It's okay, the sales volume is OK, but compared with previous years, the profit margin has decreased, and the money earned from selling two textbooks in the past can only be earned by selling three or even four books, mainly because there is more competition! Look at the three new bookstores that have opened near me, and the business is not doing well! ”
Speaking of business, Huang Zhitian is a little melancholy, to say that the book market is becoming more and more prosperous, but the growth rate of Huang Zhitian's money has decreased a lot compared with previous years, because now there are more bookstores doing wholesale business, and the prices of goods purchased by everyone are about the same, if you want to win more customers, you can only desperately reduce the price of shipments, which also makes the profits diluted, and it looks very lively, but it can't make much money more than in previous years!
Li Jian asked tentatively, "Have you ever thought about starting a company?" After having a company, expand the scale, so that you can get a lower purchase price! ”
Now the competition between Huang Zhitian and his peers is to rely on their own bookstores to compete, a bit of a small fight, everyone's scale is about the same, the purchase price is also about the same, it is difficult to open the distance with peers!
The only possibility is to find someone to inject capital and expand the scale of this business, as long as the scale is expanded, he will have the confidence to negotiate the price with the upstream publisher, so that Huang Zhitian can purchase directly from the publisher, and there will be fewer links in the middle, and the profit will come out! At that time, maybe Huang Zhitian's peers will have to buy goods here in Huang Zhitian!
The various textbooks and test papers that students need is a good market, and as long as there are students, they need these educational books, which is a considerable market, and the annual sales are not a small amount!
With the continuous improvement of people's economic conditions, people's attention to children's education will also be improved, which will also promote the growth of this teaching and auxiliary materials market!
Li Jian is very optimistic about this market, if the operation is good, it will be a good source of money, not only to make money, but also to provide Li Jian with business points!
Now Li Jian's only dilemma is that he doesn't have the right talent in his hands, he has a good idea, and if he doesn't have the corresponding talent reserve, he can't do anything, and the blueprint in his heart can't become a reality!
Huang Zhitian has been in the book market for decades and has a lot of experience, so Li Jian plans to persuade Huang Zhitian to expand the scale and make money together with the brothers!
Huang Zhitian frowned, and said helplessly, "I also know the benefits of expanding the scale, but although a bookstore like ours looks very lively and profitable, this industry also needs a lot of liquidity, and there is a lot of money pressed on the inventory, and there is not much money that can be used, so it is not easy to open a company and expand the scale!" ”
Li Jian smiled faintly, picked up the paper cup that poured beer, touched it with Huang Zhitian's wine glass, and said with a smile, "There is not much money, you can find someone to inject capital!" Come, Brother Huang, let's have a drink! ”
Huang Zhitian drank the beer in the cup and asked rhetorically, "Looking for someone to inject capital?" Who will inject money? ”
Li Jian stretched out his hand and pointed at himself, "Look for me!" Our brothers do things together, and occupy the book market in Pubei City, and then we will not stay in this small shop, and replace the office with an office building in the city, how magnificent it should be! ”
"Forget it, brother, don't joke with your brother! Tell us about your college life! ”
Although Huang Zhitian is very concerned about the prospects depicted by Li Jian, he is not ready to open a company and pull people to partner with him, so he has changed the topic and does not plan to talk about opening a company anymore!
Li Jian only tasted it at a superficial level, and saw that Huang Zhitian was not too interested, so he didn't persuade him again, saying too much, but it would cause Huang Zhitian's disgust, rather than that, it was better to put it aside for a while, and wait for Huang Zhitian to change his mind, and then Li Jian would mention this matter again, and it would be much easier to do it then!
Even if Huang Zhitian doesn't plan to cooperate in the future, Li Jian will develop towards this market in the future, after all, he still has the title of the top student in the college entrance examination, and the sales of the book market are very large, even if he doesn't make much money, Li Jian can also get compensation from the company!
After Li Jian and Huang Zhitian finished eating, they returned to the Culture Bookstore, at this time Huang Zhitian's men had already prepared the teaching materials that Li Jian needed, Li Jian threw the materials into the body behind the pickup truck, and then drove back to Nanxi!
