Chapter 62: A good start
Ryu finally got the exact news again, this time not only talking to customers, but also repacking the best of the rice samples he had taken from Kyoto, and then keeping one in the store, and the other points he was going to take with him to visit the site.
Because of the original father's early ventilation, the reaction of these old customers was quite calm, and after seeing the rice samples, they said that they could test sell it, but they were more concerned about the price, because in any case, for those consumers who are accustomed to the taste of Beidong rice to try to accept new things, the price must be attractive enough.
Liu did not give a definite answer to this question, but said that he would definitely surprise them.
The county seat of Huazun is not very large, and the proportion of professional food stores is still very small compared to all the practitioners in this industry, and the names of these people given by my father Liu Relative took three nights to basically turn around, and the demand information fed back exceeded Liu Relative's initial expectations, and the demand for these customers alone has exceeded the number of a trailer.
Taking into account the follow-up sales and its own storage, Liu Zhao discussed with his father on the phone to use wagons and semi-trailers to deliver goods at the same time, but the price positioning is still based on semi-trailer delivery, after all, it will save a lot of time if you take the car transportation.
After a few days of non-stop visits and investigations, Liu Rushan finally determined the southern supplier for the first cooperation, and the determination of this supplier was determined after he fully considered the scale of the processing plant, machinery and equipment and character, and Liu Rushan was the focus of the investigation.
Everything is in order, on the right track, rice in Liu Rushan personally under the operation of the first loaded wagon, wagons to be rearranged at Hui'an terminus, arrived in Shantang City to be re-divided to Huazun, is expected to arrive in 10 days at the earliest.
The first wagon was sent out, the large ticket was sent by registered mail, and Liu Rushan began to arrange the loading and transportation of the car.
The speed of automobile transportation is very fast, and it is expected that it will only take about 4 days to reach Huazun market, which is the first batch of goods to test the water.
Liu Rushan's arrangement Liu is relatively reasonable, after the arrival of the rice transported by car after about 5 days of market testing, will send back a clear feedback, quality acceptance, price acceptance, and sales speed will directly affect Liu Rushan's follow-up purchases, and the two cars of rice are 5-6 days apart, just make up for the gap in the market, to ensure sufficient supply.
Of course, in the few days of waiting for information feedback, Liu Rushan did not stay in one place, he continued to look for high-quality sources and suppliers, compare prices, and at the same time, he also received two inexplicable suggestions from Liu on the phone: inspect the printing plant, inspect the market acceptance price and demand of corn.
These two suggestions seem to have nothing to do with the work he is currently doing, but Liu Relative's words are very solemn, because he can't explain it on the phone for a while, Liu Relative only talks about brand strategy and breadth management.
Although it was only a few words, the shrewd Liu Rushan sensed the meaning revealed by his son, and this aspect happened to be what Liu Rushan had always wanted to do, so the two hit it off.
Waiting for the arrival of goods is a kind of torment, of course, this torment is not only experienced by Yanagi, but also by some vendors who have been notified in advance.
After the exact price and arrival date were determined, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang basically had to come to the store every afternoon to see if the goods would arrive in advance, making Liu relatively laugh that they were not in a hurry for the emperor and eunuchs, but it seemed that Uncle Wang's family was more optimistic about the prospect of rice sales in the south than himself, sighing at Liu's ignorance, and told him that this kind of cheap and high-quality rice is actually the most suitable for the market, and it will definitely usher in a crazy situation.
For Uncle Wang's business vision, Liu Relative admires the five-body casting, but for the worry about the quantity, Liu Relative just smiled and said nothing, now Liu Rushan is in the production area, don't dare to say anything else, as long as the payment is timely enough, they can ensure that the car will be sent out every two days. This is still only one supplier, if you add more suppliers, the number will be even larger.
Just after noon on the fourth day, Uncle Wang had already driven a sudden big four-wheeled car to the Rushan grain store, and in the following hours, customers who were farther away and had a better relationship also began to arrive one after another.
Liu greeted each other, and in the order of first come, first served, he handed out a numbered square card, on which the serial number and the number of reservations were marked.
Many people giggled and laughed, saying that Liu was too formal, just like the big city auction with a sign, Liu was just smiling and not speaking.
The arrival of the willow is relatively not ready to be unloaded into the store, but directly on the trailer packaging, there are too many buyers, their own store is limited, if there is no order to load the car is easy to cause the number of errors, but also easy to miscalculate the money, more importantly, if there is a customer in front of the surprise want to load more than ten bags of eight bags, the follow-up person may have no goods to load, he must avoid this situation.
Deng Wei is also working overtime today, and it is the first time she has experienced this kind of chaotic scene, especially when Liu Zhao told her that she wanted to divide the goods directly in the trailer, and she was a little nervous after calculating the accounts in real time.
This is a test for her accounting speed and the identification of fake coins, even if there is Liu Zhao by her side, she can't help but feel apprehensive.
The trailer full of rice finally arrived very late at nightfall, and before the car could stop, the vendors who had been waiting anxiously hula hula surrounded them, and the driver probably did not see this situation, and opened the door and froze in place.
Liu squeezed over and instructed the driver to untie the rope and tarpaulin of the rear car first.
He didn't dare to uncover it all, a total of four laborers, plus a somewhat stunned Deng Wei, in the face of these scattered more than 20 shrewd grain sellers, if he didn't pay attention, he would lose the rice.
He climbed into the trunk, motioned for the four laborers to follow and got into the car, and shouted at the somewhat restless vendors below: "Uncles and uncles, don't crowd first, haven't we already issued license plates before, unload and load the trucks in the order of the license plates." ”
The people under the car didn't feel much better when they heard Liu Zhao's words, and they all wanted to squeeze closer, Liu Zhao waved his hand, and continued: "I'll open a bag of rice first, and send out the sample to everyone to see, no matter what the quality is, it doesn't meet your expectations, and the number booked in the number plate in your hand can only be reduced, not increased." ”
As soon as they heard this, these people looked down at the number plate in their hands, and then they understood the meaning of those numbers, looked at each other, and discussed for a while, as if they were a little hesitant, but no one said anything.
Uncle Wang understood Liu Relative's intentions, and saw that the scene was a little deserted, so he shouted loudly: "Relatively, we listen to you, you open a bag first and let everyone take a look." ”
Everyone nodded.
Liu motioned for the laborer to open a package, jumped out of the car and walked into the crowd.
And Liu Zheng also lowered his head and looked carefully at the first batch of rice to test the water.
It is long-grained indica rice, but the grains are full, the luster is very good, plus the cover of the night, the senses are great, Liu Zhao secretly praised his father, and he really deserves to be the leader of Huazun's grain industry, and the first batch of goods selected is really outstanding, and the quality is better than the best rice samples they selected in Kyoto.
When these traders saw the rice samples in the hands of the laborers, they were also a little restless, they originally thought that the quality of the arrival would definitely not exceed the quality of the samples, this is the custom, so they have a certain reservation when Liu is relative to the number of statistics, but now they all regret it.
According to this condition, this purchase price, they will definitely make a lot of money, but it is still too late, after all, there is no packaging yet, so some people jumped up and shouted at Liu Zhuang: "Big nephew, you wrote it wrong to me on this brand, I don't want 20 bags, it's 40, don't blame me!" ”
There was familiarity and affection in the voice, but the people present were all clear-eyed people who knew what was going on, but who didn't want to pretend to make more money, so some people followed suit, and the scene was noisy again.
"Haha, Uncle Li, it's too late to say anything now, I'll give you 20 more bags, why don't you do it to Uncle Zhang, who is at the back of the line?"
Liu Zhao stood in the car and shouted at a middle-aged man at the back: "Uncle Zhang, you discuss, anyway, give him these 20 bags, and yours will be useless, so much in total." ”
Liu is relatively good at passing on the crisis, if you want to get more, discuss it with the people behind you, no one is stupid.
"Li Dagui, you get out of here, Lao Tzu has not written much!"
Uncle Zhang really disagreed.
Hearing his words, the people behind the number plate began to heckle, and finally reached an agreement, and they wrote according to the number plate.
"Uncles, in fact, this is just the first car, you sell it first, and the follow-up will come soon, you don't have to be afraid of running out of stock, I promise you, only when you are tired of selling, there is no time when our family is out of stock."
Liu Zhao spoke again at this time, he calmed down the somewhat dissatisfied crowd, and continued to shout: "We have limited manpower, 2 cars are loaded side by side, 2 numbers at a time, finish loading and checkout, finish and drive away, let's start!" ”
Deng Wei stood near the car, holding a calculator, she had already calculated the total price according to the number plate in the afternoon, and now all she had to do was to count the money and distinguish the authenticity.
The scene was in full swing, and when everyone came to load, they couldn't help but ask Liu Relative about the time when he got off the car and arrived, and Liu Relative gave an estimated time, the slowest one week.
This orderly loading and unloading proved to be very efficient, and according to the rules, it must be faster than disorderly, and in less than an hour and a half, all the rice was divided into parts, and the money and goods were gone.
