Chapter 55: Boss Fan who pretends to be stupid
On the evening of Zhang Wei's official entry, Fan Wan gathered all the people in the company together for a dinner party in a Hunan restaurant in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, which could be regarded as welcoming Zhang Wei's arrival, and his cousin Zhang Xiaojun was also there.
With the increase of the company's employees, Fan Wan also cares more and more about the harmonious atmosphere within the company, but Fan Wan's idea is more realistic, as long as everyone works hard, the sales of the store can go up, and he will not be stingy with that bonus, and the development of the story of the small town is getting better and better, the work passion in the office is very high, and the relationship is naturally harmonious.
That night, Fan Wan was quickly defeated under the siege of a group of men and women in the company, Fan Wan naturally couldn't get drunk, he just pretended to be confused, after all, he had something to do tomorrow, so he didn't dare to drink too much at all.
Fortunately, everyone accepted it when they saw it, and they didn't persuade much.
Now there are a total of 5 people in the office plus Fan Wan, Han Mei's main job is to deal with after-sales part-time customer service, while Xiao Liu and Qingqing are mainly responsible for receiving customers, and the new Zhang Wei is responsible for handling the pictures of the store, and the warehouse is led by Chen Xiaojun, plus two packed, the company has a total of 8 people, but with the increase in the number of orders for the story of the small town, so this manpower is still a little stretched, and everyone is busy in the dark.
Although Fan Wan has been recruiting people and there are many applicants, many people have not been exposed to the new business model of e-commerce, especially Fan Wan's age is too young, even if his behavior and speech are gradually mature, but these people who work hard in society do not think that the story of the small town will have a good development prospect, they are biased towards entities, if it is not for the conditions offered by Fan Wan are very attractive, they probably don't even want to sit more!
However, people like Zhang Wei are a special case, he was found by his cousin to come in through the back door.
Fortunately, he also has the ability himself, otherwise the story of the small town would not let a person in casually!
So now the story of the town has initially become a small company, although the business of this company is not even comparable to the large clothing stores!
This is the convenience and huge wealth effect brought by e-commerce, how many clothes can a clothing store sell in a day? How much is the profit? It is estimated that it is not more than half of the sales of Story Day in the small town, and this has to count objective promotional factors such as holidays and weekends, and then labor costs, rent fees for physical stores, and even lighting every month have to spend a lot of money!
Not to mention that horrible backlog of goods!
If all this money is saved, Fan Wan can recruit another 20 employees, and now, he only needs these few people to be able to move forward!
However, most of the people who are doing this business now are young people, because only young people can accept the e-commerce industry the fastest, and they are also the ones who buy things online, so it can be said that 80% of the country's online sellers are young people, and the average age is only 28 years old.
As for Fan Wan, a demon who opened a store at the age of 16 to change his ID card, it is estimated that there will be no second one in the country!
The company's side tends to be stable, and Fan Wan began to prepare for winter clothes while recruiting new customer service and packaging personnel, but the selection of winter clothes is a difficult thing, because of the cost problem, Lao Li and several other factories will be closed in winter, and here I have to put forward the cunning of being the boss.
People like Lao Li will take a holiday until the end of the year before the winter, because the factory is full of middle-aged women who work all year round, and they all want to fix it and have no intention of changing jobs, and many women who work in other places want to take the opportunity to go back to their hometown to see their children and spend more time with their husbands, and then come back in the spring of next year.
As for Lao Li's side, although he made less money, he reduced the risk of overstocking inventory and saved a lot of labor costs.
Not even more!
It stands to reason that the profit of winter clothes should be very high, but the corresponding cost will also rise a lot, at this time most of the goods in Hangzhou are still relatively high-quality, so in addition to large garment factories, there are few dare to make winter clothes, because after the price rises, consumers will also decrease.
A very common example, take women's clothing as an example, women's wardrobes always have the most summer clothes, then spring and autumn, and finally winter clothes, while men, it is estimated that there are few winter clothes in the cabinet.
So Fan Wan is very worried, what to do with winter clothes, whether to do volume or high profits, if you go to the volume, the profit margin is very small, you don't make much money, you consume manpower, and you have the risk of taking inventory, go up the profit, the profit margin is very large, but you buy very little, and you are an online store, not Bosideng.
Everyone knows that buying online is a cheap place, who will spend hundreds of oceans to buy your clothes, people don't know to go to the brand store?
You must know that winter clothes are not better than other seasons, at this time everyone wants to buy better clothes, and you can wear them in the coming year, plus you will go to relatives during the New Year, everyone will choose to prefer a little more expensive but a louder brand.
People, it's all good-looking!
The most typical of this is the down jacket, Fan Wan is not ready to touch this piece, because the down jacket market changes greatly every year, this style may be popular this year, and another style may be popular next year, and there is not even a little reference before and after!
Sitting in Lao Li's office, Fan Wan smoked a stuffy cigarette, and Lao Li was also comforting beside him, in the latter's opinion, Fan Wan's heart was a little big, winter clothes were not easy to make, and merchants did not dare to stock up on a large number of goods, many wholesalers were made of coats of general color, although there were down jackets, but they were all of inferior quality.
If you want to go to the down jacket in the small town story, although the quality is not as good as those brand manufacturers, it can't belong to that kind of mass goods, and this quality problem must not be there.
The matter was discussed to no avail, and Fan Wan could only go home, but there was a medium-thick coat that could make winter in the manufacturer that cooperated with Xiaocheng Story, and some down vests that were not too costly.
These fans were contacted early, but there were few orders, mainly because they didn't dare to overstock inventory.
However, when she left, Aunt Liu mentioned a proposal, that is, Fan Wan didn't have to worry about winter clothes at all, and only needed to clear all the summer and autumn stockpiles, so that not only the few remaining stocks would be cleared, but also a sum of money could be returned to prepare for next year's spring clothes war!
It's not that Fan Wan didn't think about it, but in the end, he thought about it and gave up!
The story of the small town has finally established a reputation, if you drop the chain in winter, then will customers still think of you in the coming year?
The women's clothing market is fighting every day, I don't know how many people want the story of the small town to be over, Fan Wan naturally can't lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot, so he has to find a way.
Winter clothes must be made, and they must be done with sound and momentum!
Fan Wan returned to the company with a heavy heart, and tonight she had to have dinner with two online sellers who were also in Hangzhou, which was agreed a long time ago, but everyone never had time.
And at this time, they must have encountered a problem when they proposed to eat, and it is estimated that they, like Fan Wan, are worried about this year's winter.
The place to eat is about a very high-end restaurant, and the e-commerce sellers who have done well this year have made a fortune, so many people have begun to enjoy it, and some people have even bought houses, and there are very few people who rent houses like Fan Wan!
Fan Wan is a person who will not be greedy for enjoyment, not that he doesn't want to, nor is he a turtle in his bones, but he feels that now is not the time to enjoy, he can already buy a house in Hangzhou, but he has no need for this, he can take out this money to continue to expand his career, only money can make money, those who deposit in the bank are fools, and those who buy houses when they have money are even more stupid!
Of course, if you have extra money to buy, you can, housing prices will keep rising, but at this time, doing e-commerce and buying a house is a drag on your career!
Can you change your life now by buying a house? Fan Wan felt that he couldn't, he was busy with his career all day long, and the room was just a place to sleep!
So when Fan Wan came to this high-end restaurant for dinner, the owner of the shop that initiated the invitation couldn't believe that the boy in front of him, who looked young and had a Liqun in his mouth, would be the owner of the story of the women's clothing star store pΓΉ with monthly sales of more than 400,000 yuan!
One is because of his age, and the other is that he came by bus!
"Mr. Wang, hello!" Fan Wan smiled and shook hands with the other party!
"Hello, hello, Mr. Fan!" The other party obviously hasn't come back to his senses yet, and he is a little stunned!
At this time, the waiter on the side also walked up to Fan Wan helplessly and said, "Hello, sir, we don't allow smoking here!" β
Fan Wan was also a little speechless, but if people didn't let them smoke, they wouldn't smoke, so they had to put out the cigarette butt on the exquisite trash can on the side, and at this time, the other boss also looked at his peers in surprise!
"I said Mr. Wang, is this person really the boss of the story of the small town?"
Mr. Liu, who was wearing glasses, was a little unconvinced, but Mr. Wang next to him shook his head with a smile, they thought that they were young enough to start doing this emerging industry after graduating from college, but what they didn't expect was that this Boss Fan seemed to be much younger than them!
After Fan Wan came back, because it was Mr. Wang's treat, he had already ordered the meal in advance, and began to chat!
The topic is very boring, that is, they are very optimistic about the prospects of the purchase network, and no one has revealed their own operation model, although the other two people want to put some dry goods out of Fan Wan's mouth, but at that time, Fan Wan waved his hand again and again, saying that the two are highly talented students who graduated from college, and they want to learn from the two of them, and they look very admiring, so angry that these two almost scolded their mothers!
The sales volume of the two stores together is not as high as your store, and you still have to learn more, it's just a slap in the face!
But what Fan Wan said is not bad, he has never studied in college, and he is young, so he naturally wants to study!
Renjing, this is the evaluation of the two Fan Wan, the most afraid of doing business is to compete with this kind of person, one is shameless, the second is to pretend to be stupid, and the third is to always look like a smile!
