Chapter 243: Acting Furniture
Shi Lei finally got a taxi back to the hotel, and felt that it was really inconvenient to have no car. But he can't take out too much money now, and he can't get a license plate to buy a car in the capital.
Acting as an agent for health care products and elevators, Shi Lei's cash has been almost spent, the elevator has not yet opened, and health care products have been opened, but the payment is still pressed on the health care product company, and it will not be returned until next month. Although Panshi Company's profits are not bad, he used all the profits in the previous months to buy Zhang Wenyuan's shares, which is equivalent to earning shares and not making money.
In the past two months, he has been going back and forth between the capital and the ice city, and the cost is not low, and he still has more than one million left, I don't know how many furniture stores he can open, and whether ten is enough?
And you have to be prepared to lose money, at least the initial rent and salary, and you have to invest a lot, Shi Lei has thought about whether to tell Hu Changsheng and hand him over to Hu Changsheng to invest the 20 million, and spend two or three million first.
"Uncle Fang, this is a pine nut and hazelnut bought from the Northeast by a friend, it's not very valuable, but it is guaranteed to be a mountain product, for you and your aunt to taste." Shi Lei bought this from a Northeast mountain goods store in Beijing, he thought that when he came to Fang Xuan's house, he couldn't be empty-handed, other people's families lacked anything, so he got a little souvenir and tasted it himself, the taste was quite right, it should be from the Northeast.
"Leizi, come here, bring something. But I liked to eat this when I was a child, and I couldn't eat enough of it, but now I can't eat the same taste as when I was a child. Fang Yanhong said with a smile.
Shi Lei was actually a little apprehensive in his heart, he used Fang Xuan strong last time, although it didn't work, Fang Xuan didn't seem to blame him much the next day. But who knows if she told her family. If she said it, then Shi Lei would be embarrassed today. However, judging from the enthusiasm of Fang Xuan's parents, it seems that they did not say anything.
"Uncle Fang, in fact, I still have something to ask you for today, like you to inquire personally. Inquire about something. β
"You kid, what are you polite to your uncle, ask directly if you have anything." Fang Yanhong feigned anger.
Shi Lei took out Han Delai's business card from his arms and handed it to Fang Yanhong: "Uncle Fang, have you heard of this Han Delai?" Songbai commercial building. It's his inheritance. β
Fang Yanhong thought for a while and nodded: "When you say that, I think about it, I like to invest in shopping malls, office buildings, hotels and other properties in first-tier cities, as if the business is doing quite well." I hadn't dealt with him much, but I knew such a person. How can you have his business card, he doesn't seem to invest in the Northeast, right? β
"That's really a coincidence...... Shi Lei told him how to expose the thief in the mall, and then Han Delai invited him upstairs, talked about the furniture, and asked Shi Lei if he wanted to be a furniture agent.
"Well, Han Delai heard that there is a quirk, that is, only others owe favors to others. He never owes favors to others. The longer he owes a favor, the harder it is to repay, as if it was because he made a fortune. There was a guy who did him a small favor, and he gave him millions. But that person is still too little, thinking that he helped Han Delai when he was in the most difficult time, Han Delai was ungrateful, and finally Han Delai gave him another house to finish. Since then, Han Delai has endured any favors. You have to pay it back quickly, and you have to owe it to others. You did him a favor. It's normal for him to give you something in return. β
"What Uncle Fang meant. Can this business be done? "Shi Lei is overjoyed, if this is done well, he can earn at least half of the tens of millions of sales a year, right?
"Well, don't use your Jinshi company's brand to re-register a company to manage these furniture stores." Fang Yanhong pointed at him and said.
"Why? In a company, finance, internal office or something, I can't save a few people, how can I save 10,000 or 20,000 a month, what is the money for? "Shi Lei's health care products, elevators, canned food and everything are all in Jinshi Company, and together they can save a lot, why should they be separated?
"He told you that this furniture is purely imported, right? Then you find someone to find out, the furniture is a domestic OEM, walk around from the waterway, get an export certificate, get an import certificate, and it becomes an imported goods. On the surface, it seems that there is nothing wrong with you having import bills and selling them out under the brand of import. But once this is found out, the furniture company is unlucky, and you, who sell furniture, won't you be unlucky? You register a new company, if the furniture problem is exposed~ light, then you will directly close those stores, and the company will go bankrupt, which will not affect the reputation of your Jinshi company. The most profitable thing for your Jinshi company is health care products and elevators, these two lists are not short, if it is affected, others withdraw the contract, and sue you for breach of contract, what should I do then? β
"What does Uncle Fang mean, this furniture agent is actually a bit risky to do? Then I don't know, is it a crime? Shi Lei asked hesitantly.
"If you don't know, how can you count it as a crime, and you are also a victim. I have also heard of the furniture brand you mentioned, and it seems that the publicity is doing well, under the banner of 100% Milan imports, fooling many people who don't know the truth into buying it. If the news you find is true, then once they happen, the company will be quickly seized by the government ~ government, you just need to return the samples in the store to him, and there is nothing else to lose. If you don't know it, normal business agency behavior will not deduct your company's account, you just don't want this company or sell it at a low price. β
Shi Lei gritted his teeth, since Fang Yanhong also said that this business can be done and is worth doing, then he will do it, go back and choose the store address immediately, and enter those large furniture stores first.
Shi Lei called first and gave Han Delai a reply, saying that he was willing to act as an agent for their furniture brand, and he would immediately choose an address in the three northeastern provinces, and now the provincial capital city will open a store.
Shi Lei's luck seems to be particularly good this time, six of the eighteen stores in the three top domestic large-scale furniture stores said that at the end of this month, there will be business contracts expiring and they can rent booths to Shi Lei, including three in Shencheng, two in Jicheng, and one in Bingcheng. Only then did Shi Lei know that the place rented in the original furniture store was called a booth.
Shi Lei immediately contacted them, the booth rent is slightly different, the size is also different, and the cost can be half the difference. Just the store rent and property fees, the minimum cost of each booth is 30,000 yuan per month, and the highest one is 160,000 yuan, which is too expensive! Moreover, the rent of the shop pΓΉ is paid annually, and it costs a sum of money to decorate it yourself.
Each booth must have a store manager and at least two shopping guides, and their wages are guaranteed plus commissions, even if one is not sold, the basic salary of three people will be 10,000 yuan.
That is to say, Shi Lei wants to rent ten booths, even if it is the cheapest, the decoration is relatively economical, he has to take out at least four million, and there is a city, there is always a warehouse, right? It's a pity that he only has more than a million funds in his hands, and the money is simply not enough.
Besides, the eleventh has just passed, and his entry into the market is the off-season for sales, and it is likely that he will start making money after three months, which is too high. But once it opens, the income will definitely be good, just on New Year's Day, ten booths can bring him millions of sales, and he can earn at least more than half. And in the future, sales will get better and better, even if there is a problem with the brand, the store will allow the booth to be subleased.
Shi Lei contacted these stores while quickly registering a company in Bingcheng, named Aishi Furniture Co., Ltd., a little narcissistic, love stone.
"Brother Hu, are you free today, I have something to discuss with you."
Shi Lei asked Hu Changsheng out, mentioned to him about his agent import of furniture, and also told him about his financial difficulties.
"You act as an agent for furniture, and this business is not bad. According to what you said, he doesn't want you to deposit, he doesn't want you to pay for the goods, he will send it to you for free, you only need to bear the booth rent and shopping guide salary, and the delivery money can be spread out in the price of the furniture. So why don't you use the brand of Jinshi Company for this business, why do you need to register a new company, and you need to recruit a few more employees, isn't this a waste of manpower? Hu Changsheng also had the same puzzle as Shi Lei at that time.
Shi Lei hesitated, the furniture was a fake import, he could tell Fang Yanhong, because it was Fang Xuan's father, but whether to tell Hu Changsheng or not, he was not sure.
Hu Changsheng was silent, Shi Lei said it if he was willing to say it, even if he didn't want to, he could see that Shi Lei must have some unspeakable secrets.
After waiting for almost a minute, Shi Lei said that this furniture brand was counterfeit and imported, but it was Han Delai who was suspected of fraud, not him, so he didn't have to bear any legal responsibility, he was not afraid of Hu Changsheng saying it, but he was embarrassed to say it, he always felt that it was so profitable, it seemed a little unsophisticated.
What kind of person is Hu Changsheng, how many of them made a fortune in that era were regular people?
He smiled and comforted Shi Lei: "This business can make money and can be done." If you don't break the law, if you don't do it, others will do it, just be careful, don't get involved in other businesses, it's best for you to register a new company. The 20 million I invested for you has now become 36 million, so you can keep 30 million for me, and I will continue to help you invest until the end of the year. β
Shi Lei didn't expect that Hu Changsheng was willing to continue to help him invest, of course he was willing. It's only been a long time, 20 million is about to double, more than he earns as an agent in a year, no wonder so many people are willing to invest in the financial industry.
Shi Lei first gave the commission this time, 16 million, 5% of the commission, a total of 800,000, and asked Hu Changsheng to help transfer it to the financial broker. His account became more than six million.
In addition to the three top domestic furniture stores, Shi Lei found two more furniture store booths in Bingcheng, one in Jicheng, so that each of the three northeastern provinces is three.
The company's registered capital is 5 million, Shi Lei directly recruited a senior manager Xie Rulin from a furniture store, promised to give him a 5% dividend on sales, and he took care of all the store procedures and decoration, including the recruitment of store managers and shopping guides, just waiting for the decoration to be completed, and the goods can be delivered there.
