Chapter 024: How Big Is the Grape Market?
For five consecutive days, Sang Zhiheng's vineyard harvested a lot, and he could pick about 1,800 catties of grapes a day.
These grapes, in addition to being sold to Han Xiaohui for 40 yuan a catty, the rest were stored in the warehouse of Ginza supermarket.
Sang Zhiheng gave Han Xiaohui a trap, and unfortunately, the other party had already got into the trap.
In five days, Xu Xiaohui purchased a total of 5,000 catties of grapes, and the purchase price of one catty was 40 yuan, and he was very excited to calculate that if he sold it to Boss Sun at the price of 100 yuan per catty, he could make a net profit of 300,000 yuan!
What is the concept of 300,000? That's Xu Xiaohui's annual salary!
It is a happy thing to earn enough annual salary for a year with a single transaction.
However, to his surprise, Boss Sun of Quancheng suddenly called, saying that the grapes were gone.
After saying it briefly, the other party hung up the phone, and when Han Xiaohui called back, he found that the other party had turned off the phone directly.
He angrily threw his phone on the wall and roared loudly: "Sun respects this bastard, and if he says don't want it, don't want it, is there such a business?" Lehi, how did you know this big boss, you don't have any credibility at all! ”
Xiao Li, who was standing on the side, was frightened, but he spoke a lot more neatly: "I met from the QQ number." ”
When Han Xiaohui heard this, he angrily grabbed Li Hai's collar and shouted loudly: "QQ number? A netizen? Lehi, if you don't get me a buyer, I'll kill you!" ”
"Okay, okay, boss, I'm going to find you a buyer! This selling price? ”
"Eighty dollars a pound!"
Han Xiaohui let go of his hand, and Li Hai ran out of his office with a rolling belt.
However, not far from Han Xiaohui's office, Aunt Zhang from the fruit section of Ginza Supermarket called.
"Hey, Zhang, Zhang, Aunt Zhang." Lehi answered the phone, and there was some impatience in his tone.
"I said Xiao Li, just now the supply side called, saying that the price was going to be raised, and it cost sixty yuan a catty!"
When Li Hai heard this, he said in his heart that we can't find a house for 5,000 catties of grapes here, and you will raise the price when you go to the house?
"Hehe, Zhang, Aunt Zhang, you, you tell the supply, he, he loves, love to sell to, just, sell to."
Although this grape is delicious, the market cannot be opened, and it is not useful at all.
With a retail price of thirty or forty yuan a catty, it would be good if the sales volume of the entire Gangcheng County could reach one hundred catties a day.
It would take at least 50 days to sell all the 5,000 catties of grapes.
Hey, Lehi is busy now.
Li Hai is the assistant manager of Xinbai Supermarket, and his speech in the supermarket is also very weighty. He said in his heart that when he was in the fruit business, he was afraid that the goods would rot in his hands, and there was not much market in the first place, so if he went to develop the market by himself, it would be troublesome.
Dejectedly, Lehi walked to the fruit section of the supermarket, intending to see how the grapes were being sold.
However, as he stood behind the two salesmen, he heard the news that broke him.
"Hey, I said Sister Zhao, the grapes on the platform in Ginza are doing activities, it's only 10 yuan a catty, let's go buy some after work."
"It's so cheap, I'm afraid we'll all sell out after we pass."
"No, I heard them say that this time it is a direct supply from the vineyard, hey, do you know, Sister Zhao, the person who opened the vineyard is the old lover of our manager Zhang Hai's wife. is still a college student, named Sang Zhiheng! I also heard that Zhang Hai's wife is also working in the vineyard in Taizi Village. ”
"It's really fake, I heard that Zhang Hai and his wife divorced."
Hearing this, Lehi coughed twice.
"Ahem."
When the two salesmen turned around, they were startled to see that it was Lehi.
"Oops, it turned out to be Assistant Li."
"You, you, you two take good care of the customers, don't do it, don't, don't chew the root of your tongue!"
The two salesmen nodded again and again and hurriedly walked away.
And at this time, Lehi Ke couldn't sit still.
"No, I, I, I'll go to the Ginza supermarket to find that Aunt Zhang!"
Li Hai thought to himself, he must ask Aunt Zhang for an explanation!
Then, Lehi drove to the Ginza supermarket and went straight to the supermarket's fruit section. However, what surprised him was that Aunt Zhang, who he could see every time he came, disappeared this time.
"Please, please, excuse me, didn't Aunt Zhang come to work today?" Lehi asked a salesman.
"Aunt Zhang? Oh, you mean Sister Zhang, he's back in Quancheng. ”
"Return, return, return to Spring City? How could she go back to Springs? ”
"Sister Zhang is a staff member of the headquarters in Quancheng, of course she is going back to Quancheng."
"And she, she, when will she be back?"
"It's not certain, and I probably won't come back."
When Li Hai heard this, he became even more anxious, hurriedly ran to the side, took out his mobile phone and dialed Aunt Zhang's number.
However, what made him desperate was that Aunt Zhang's phone was shut down in arrears.
"It's over, it's over, it's over, I, I, we've been tricked!" Lehi was also smart, and when he thought about what had happened, a hint of foreboding came to his heart.
So, he hurriedly drove back to the Ginza supermarket and broke into Han Xiaohui's office.
Li Qian was sitting on Han Xiaohui's lap giggling, and was suddenly a little disappointed by this stammering person who broke in, and stood up stupidly.
"Baby, go out first, what's the matter? Xiao Li. ”
Seeing Li Qian twist her waist and walk out, Han Xiaohui's face immediately became gloomy, and Li Hai trembled with fright.
"Come here!"
Li Haizhan walked up to Han Xiaohui tremblingly, bowing his head.
"What's the matter?"
"It's about grapes."
Han Xiaohui frowned and looked at Li Hai. When Li Hai saw it, he hurriedly leaned into Han Xiaohui's ear and told his speculation to the other party.
"Hmph, good, good, my good wife, my good classmate, okay!"
Some people stutter when they are nervous, while others don't stutter when they are nervous.
"Manager, what should we do?"
"What to do? They sell for ten dollars, and we can only sell for ten dollars! Hmph, just this one, we lost 150,000, even if this account is on Sang Zhiheng's head! Sang Zhiheng, I want you to know that I, Han Xiaohui, am not easy to mess with! Li Hai, you contact me with some brothers on the road, and we will go and smash Sang Zhiheng's vineyard tomorrow!" ”
Being able to get to the position of manager is not simply based on relationship and luck, as soon as Han Xiaohui saw that he was set a trap, he took the safest approach. It can be said that this is also the lowest loss for yourself.
Lehi gritted his teeth and said, "Good! Let's see if he dares to play us in the future! In Gangcheng County, he dared to bully our Brother Han, I think he Sang Zhiheng has eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard! ”
"Alright, you can get out."
Here, Han Xiaohui was angrily discussing how to deal with Sang Zhiheng, while on the other side, Sang Zhiheng happily drove the grapes to the Ginza supermarket.
Although it was the first day of the sale, and there was not much advertising, there were many customers who came to buy the grapes.
The original thirty yuan a pound of things, now the price has been reduced to ten yuan a pound all of a sudden, and everyone thinks that if they buy it, they will earn it.
Customers who didn't plan to buy table grapes immediately joined the queue to buy them when they saw that the price had dropped so much.
Everyone, you are five catties, I am ten catties, in one morning, more than 200 customers bought 1,500 catties of grapes.
A pound costs ten yuan, and this morning's income is 15,000 yuan.
Removing 10 percent of the supermarket's commission, there are still 13,500 yuan in his hands.
Sang Zhiheng and Zhang Hai stood at the entrance of the delivery elevator, looking at the long queue of customers buying grapes, Sang Zhiheng said: "Seeing that customers like my grapes so much, I feel happy in my heart." ”
"Yes, no matter what you do, being recognized by others is the greatest happiness."
"Hey, I said Brother Zhang, how big do you think there is a market for grapes and fruits in our Gangcheng County?"
"Oh, well, we've done special market research. Among the fruits sold in our supermarket, the first in annual sales should be watermelon. Especially in the summer, the sales of watermelons are very large. However, although the sales of watermelons are large, there are very few local products, and local watermelons have never been sold in supermarkets. Then the second place is apples, and the apples sold in our supermarket are mainly produced locally. Our locally produced red Fuji is crispy, sweet and delicious, and sells very well. The third fruit is the tangerine. However, as you know, tangerines are a southern crop, and we can't grow them here. Counting further down, you get to the grapes. It can be said that grapes are the favorite fruits in the hearts of the people of Gangcheng County. Then melon and peach, two fruits, also have a relatively large sales, ranking behind the first four fruits. Let me give you a trade secret, we have a population of 200,000 in Gangcheng County, and in a year, the average person eats 0.1 taels of grapes per day. ”
Sang Zhiheng is a top student at Shanghai Beijing University, and of course he is very good at mathematics.
"200,000 people, one person eats 0.1 taels of grapes a day, and the total sales volume of a year is 730,000 catties! It is now April, and the price of early-ripening grapes is generally more than eight yuan, and according to the annual average price of about five yuan, the grape market in our Gangcheng County is about 3.65 million yuan. ”
"That's pretty much it."
Sang Zhiheng frowned and thought for a while, and said: "If my grapes are sold at a price of ten yuan per catty, then I will almost undoubtedly occupy the grape market in the entire Gangcheng County." This is a pity for my small vineyard, which has less than 200,000 catties of production a year. Brother Zhang, the next step I think our grapes will go to the big city. Hey, by the way, what's going on with Boss Sun? ”
"Oh yes, Lao Sun just called, the people of Quancheng love grapes far more than Gangcheng County, there are many customers over there, they want to eat your grapes by name, I see the price of fifty yuan a catty, it is easy to sell it!"
"Great!"
