Chapter 101 Wholesale business from retail business
As soon as I got to work on Friday, I called Xiaotao to tell him that the counter had been rented. Xiao Tao promised me to send me the first batch of blankets right away. After putting down the phone, Tanya called me to tell me that she had resigned and was now ready to apply for a business license. The thing about opening a store is now ready.
Sasha came over in the morning and told us: "I just came back from customs, the container has arrived in Novosibirsk, and the customs clearance documents now need to be made again according to the advice of my customs friend, and I will hand it over to the customs today, and we can pick up the container on Monday." So Brother Chao asked Lena to make a new proforma invoice according to Sasha's request. After making the proforma invoice, Lena told us: "I just calculated the tariff, and if I clear the customs at the current price and the total amount, the tariff can be reduced by 4,000 US dollars." After looking at the proforma invoice, Brother Chao asked Sasha worriedly: "If the price is so low, will there be a problem with customs clearance?" Sasha replied confidently, "You can rest assured, I have already agreed with my customs friend, and when we get the cabinet, we will give him two thousand dollars." He also said that the quantity can be reduced next time. Brother Chao asked: "If you put some other items in the container, it's okay not to declare customs, right?" Sasha said: "As long as they have money to collect privately, whatever they want, when the container arrives, they don't need to open it for inspection." The goods you sent to me before, the container was pulled directly to my company's warehouse, and the container was not opened for inspection at all. "As soon as I heard it, I thought to myself, this Russian customs is simply useless, and this group of customs staff is really enough.
While Sasha was drinking coffee, I said to Sasha, "Sasha, Roman helped me rent a counter in the mall next to his restaurant yesterday, you know that, right?" Sasha nodded and said, "Peng, congratulations!" Roman told me about this the other day, do you want Tanya to sell the goods? I nodded yes, and Sasha asked me, "So what are you going to sell?" I said, "Sasha, did I tell you about my trip to Irkusco last month?" Sasha nodded, and I said, "It's my good friends in Irkusco who sent me their blankets to sell." "It's a good business to sell blankets, and you can also sell them with plastic flowers and greeting cards, which don't take up much space," Sasha said. As soon as I heard Sasha say this, I laughed, "Sasha, I was about to tell you about this, and when the goods come into your warehouse, I will take some plastic flowers and greeting cards and sell them, and I will give you the money after selling, do you think this is okay?" Sasha said, "Why not?" We are family. When I heard this, I happily said, "Sasha, thank you!" So I'm relieved. Sasha smiled, "Peng, you're welcome, I also want to ask you, are your friends' blankets produced by themselves?" I replied, "Yes, they have their own blanket factory." Sasha then asked me, "What is the quality of their blankets?" I replied: "The quality of their blankets is very good, and last time there was a conflict because the quality of their blankets was better than the quality of another Chinese's blanket, and another Chinese had no business." If the quality of their blankets is not good, then I won't sell them with them. Sasha nodded and said, "It makes sense, there will be a market for good quality." You ask your friend, can they send some of their blankets wholesale in Novosibirsk? I asked, "Where is the wholesale?" Sasha said, "Wholesale in my warehouse, how about we work together?" I glanced at Brother Chao, and Brother Chao said, "I think it's feasible, Dapeng, you can ask Xiao Tao if it's okay?" ”
I called Xiao Tao and told Xiao Tao about Sasha's thoughts. Xiao Tao said: "It should be no problem, I originally thought that you could sell more of our blankets in Novosibirsk, and I will study it with my manager now." I'll call you later. Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Tao called, "Dapeng, I have studied with the manager, what my manager means, I want our domestic headquarters to send you a container of blankets directly, so that you don't have to go through us, you can save a lot of costs, do you think this is okay?" In addition, today I will send you 100 blankets for retail. After putting down the phone, I told Brother Chao what Xiao Tao meant, and Brother Chao thought about it and said: "It's okay to do this, just take Sasha's company as the consignee, don't involve our company, and don't need to know about it to the domestic headquarters." I nodded and said, "Brother Chao, I understand, I'll talk to Xiaotao." "I called Xiao Tao again and told Xiao Tao what Brother Chao meant. Xiao Tao said: "As long as the payment can be guaranteed, there is no problem, and I told the domestic headquarters that Sasha is my customer." You fax Sasha's company information to me, and I'll make a contract and send it to you, and you can sign it. I told Brother Chao about Xiao Tao's words, and Brother Chao said, "Then let's do it, we will share the profits equally with Sasha." "Brother Chao told Sasha about the specific plan we had set, and Sasha agreed without any objection. Sasha asked Katya to print out his company's information, and then faxed it to Xiaotao.
In the beginning, I just wanted to find a business for Tanya, make some money myself, and gain some experience. Unexpectedly, from this small retail business, a wholesale business was triggered. I think this is just the beginning, and slowly, more and more business will be discovered.
After drinking coffee, Sasha took Lena to the customs office to clear customs.
Sitting there was nothing to do, and I suddenly remembered that the Vietnamese were loyal. I haven't been in touch with him for a long time, I don't know how he's doing? So I found the phone of Zhongjia and dialed it, and it rang for a long time before someone answered the phone. The person who answered the phone was Zhong's wife, Mi, and I said, "Mi, hello! I'm Peng, why did it take so long to answer the phone? Haven't you gotten up yet? Mi was very happy when he heard my voice and asked me, "Peng, hello!" We had already gotten up and were all out to go to the market, when we heard the phone ringing and opened the door to answer the phone. It's been a long time since I've heard from you, how have you been and where have you been? I replied, "I've been busy lately, and I just came back from a business trip." Mi said, "Oh, you and Tanya come to my house in the evening, and I'll cook Vietnamese food for you." I will now speak faithfully to you. After Zhong took the phone, he chatted with me for a few words, and he said that he had a good business recently, and asked me to go to his house for a drink and chat in the evening. I took advantage of Zhong not to put down the phone, held the microphone and asked Brother Chao: "Brother Chao, do you and Natasha want to go to the Vietnamese house with me at night?" "Brother Chao made an OK gesture to me. I said to Zhong, "The four of us will go together in the evening, you can prepare more delicious food, and we will bring Chinese wine." Zhong Hehe smiled and agreed.
At noon, Danya came over, and when we went downstairs to eat together, she told me: "Peng, I have already handed in the application materials for the business license, and I will go to the bank in the afternoon to pay the handling fee." I said, "Okay, I'll go with you in the afternoon to pay the money." My good friend in Irkusco sent us a hundred blankets today, and Sasha promised me to sell plastic flowers and greeting cards for us. We went to the mall in the afternoon to see if we needed to book a shelf? Tanya kept her head down and didn't speak, I thought she was upset, I looked down at her, and suddenly found two tears in her eyes. I put my arm around her shoulders and asked, "What's wrong, aren't you happy?" Tanya wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Peng, I'm very happy." It's just that after I handed over my resignation letter to the principal this morning, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. When my colleagues came out to see me off, I cried. Now that I think about it, I feel a little sad, but to be honest, I still like my job as a teacher. I always thought that I would work in school until I retired. After getting to know you, I was influenced by you to think about doing business on my own. I kissed Tanya on the forehead and said, "Okay, don't feel bad, you can go back to school to see your colleagues and students in the future." ”
