82. Negotiation
In the lobby of the Supreme Gang, Wu Zheng used black charcoal to write some words and symbols on a large wooden board, and at the same time explained the meaning of these things. A dozen young people sat across from him www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, listening intently, and from time to time they were writing down their notes in the small notebook in their hands.
"When encountering customers, we must first put out the advantages of our products, and don't directly raise the price......"
"You have to be friends with customers, not business, friends are permanent, business is temporary......"
The meaning of the 28 principle is that there are only 20% of the decisive factors, and the other 80% are non-determinants. For example, only 20% of the rich people in Hexi Town are poor, and the remaining 80% are poor......"
Occasionally, someone raised his hand to ask a question, and Wu Zheng re-explained something again, and then asked if there were still people who didn't understand, and only after everyone understood it did he move on to the next question.
At this time, the scene is a bit weird, a teenage child stands in front, old-fashioned to give a lecture to a group of people in their twenties below, and the expressions of the people below not only do not have any contempt, but some even have a look of reverence.
These young people who attended the class were different from those in the factory, they were all the best selected by Wu Zheng from the people who passed the assessment. They are flexible, articulate, and adaptable, and are suitable for business people. Wu Zheng also intends to cultivate them and instill some modern concepts and knowledge in them, and these people will become the backbone of the Supreme Gang in the future.
Young people are very receptive, and although there are many things that are beyond their comprehension, these people still rely on rote memorization to swallow these things in their stomachs and then digest them little by little. This made Wu Zheng a little surprised, originally thought that they would resist these things that they had never been exposed to, but who knew that their curiosity was so strong, which made Wu Zheng very happy.
Lan Xiangyu hid in the back hall and listened with relish, the small notebook in her hand was almost full, and she made special marks for a few things she didn't understand. Because Wu Zheng was in class at this time, she couldn't disturb at will, so she had to wait until the lecture was over to ask.
Ding Yueming and Zhao Qiaoer on the side were drowsy when they listened, and the two of them couldn't hold on after listening to the half-pillar incense, so they left Lan Xiangyu, who was concentrating on the class, and ran out to play with paper kites.
During the recess, the young people did not leave, but gathered together to discuss what Wu Zheng had just said in class, and many people took out their understandings and ideas to share with others, and sometimes encountered disagreements and heated quarrels.
Wu Zheng has already left the lobby, and the next class is taught by Pei Xinyuan, and at this time Pei Xinyuan always complains, after these people listen to Wu Zheng's class, he can't listen to his class at all. Wu Zheng could only smile apologetically at this, compared to Confucianism, what he talked about was more popular.
Walking into the living room of the back hall, an old man with a middle-aged man was sitting in it drinking tea, and when he saw Wu Zheng coming in, the two stood up and saluted each other. The old man's surname is Kang Mingqian, he is over 60 years old, his hair and beard are gray, but his spirit is strong, and his eyes are bright. He came to visit Wu Zheng today for his family's business, because the rouge shop of the Supreme Gang had purchased rouge gouache and other items from his house every month for sale, but since last month, someone suddenly informed him that he would no longer come to his house to buy goods in the future.
Originally, this was nothing, and the sales volume of the rouge shop of the Supreme Gang was not large, and the monthly purchase volume was only more than 100 taels of silver. In the past, it didn't matter if there were a few small shops like this, and the impact on one's own business was minimal.
But since Wu Zheng's soap and perfume became popular, the business of the Supreme Gang's rouge shop has been getting better and better, and the monthly purchase volume has increased greatly, which makes Kang Qian have to pay attention to it.
Wu Zheng's situation Kang Qian has already sent someone to investigate, before this person left Hexi Town, it was said that he was a waste who was divorced and didn't dare to say anything, no one was optimistic about him, they all thought that the Supreme Gang would definitely be destroyed in the hands of this young man, although the Supreme Gang had reached the point of desperation, but with him, it should collapse faster.
Three months ago, this person quietly returned to Hexi Town. Things have changed strangely from here, and the original waste suddenly becomes powerful, like a tiger waking up from a deep sleep, leaving an extremely shocking impression on the world. Judging from what he did, this Wu Shaogang leader is talented and witty, and later used clever means to turn the troubled store into a profit, which is really a rare figure in the world.
However, Kang Qian felt that the information about Wu Zheng was too exaggerated, how could a teenager have such a skill, there must be a master behind it. When I first arrived at the Supreme Gang, it was not easy for the middle-aged man who received him, and I heard him introduce himself as Pei Xinyuan, who must be the master behind Wu Zheng, and he must make friends when he has time. So, Kang Qian, who had this idea, met with Wu Zheng in the living room.
"Old decay is here to ...... this time" Before Kang Qian's words were finished, the young gang leader opposite suddenly interrupted him with a smile.
"Is it because of the cancellation of the restocking? I know that Kang Lao is not very happy in your heart, but there is no way...... Wu Zheng took out an account book from the bookshelf on the side, flipped through it, found the account between the rouge shop and the Kang family, and then handed it to Kang Lao's eyes.
"Your family's things are too expensive, and we can't make much money." Wu Zheng said calmly.
Kang Qian glanced at it, the way the ledger was recorded was very different from the way he knew, but the accounts were clear and clear, and in each row and column of entries, the process of the transactions between the two families was recorded exactly in detail. Kang Qian even felt that this way of recording was much better than the previous way.
"Now that the Supreme Gang has two rouge shops, the demand for goods is even greater, and I have set up a factory to generate the goods sold in the store, and I will soon be self-sufficient." After listening to Wu Zheng's words, although Kang Qian's heart felt that his idea was a little ridiculous, he still maintained the original expression on his face: "With all due respect, it is a good thing for the Supreme Gang to open more stores and expand its business, but the Wu Gang mainly opens factories and makes things by themselves...... Well, I think it's a bit of a child's play. ”
"Oh? What is Kang Lao's opinion? ”
Kang Qian said: "First of all, although rouge is a very ordinary thing, anyone with craftsmanship can make it, but it is difficult to say how high the quality is. Red and blue pollen can be very uncomfortable to use if it is too coarsely ground, but too fine will make the color too light and unaesthetically pleasing. Secondly, even if the Wu Gang Leader could find highly skilled workers, raw materials like red and blue flowers would not be easy to come by. Because the flower beds that produce red and blue flowers have been contracted by large merchants, others can't get them at all, and even if they do, they are all ruined things, and they can't be used to make rouge at all. ”
He paused and continued: "And our Kang Kee's rouge is of high quality, as long as those who have used it say it is good, and we also have seven flower beds in our hands, their red and blue flowers are bright in color and fragrant in smell, and they are all excellent raw materials. This is also the reason why our things are more expensive, you get what you pay for. Therefore, according to the old opinion, Wu Gang Leader still doesn't want to run any Laoshizi factory, wouldn't it be better for the two of us to continue to cooperate? ”
Kang Qian's words make sense, in order to monopolize the operation, the flower garden will naturally be contracted by rouge makers like Kang Kee, so red and blue flowers cannot be bought on the market at all. In his opinion, Wu Zheng's desire to produce rouge by himself is simply a fool's dream.
Wu Zheng raised his index finger and shook it, and said, "NONONO, Kang Lao, you misunderstood......" Kang Qian cast a puzzled look at Wu Zheng, only to hear the other party say: "I never said that I would produce rouge in the factory...... That stuff is going to be obsolete soon, so what am I going to produce it for? ”
A long thing the thickness of the index finger was placed in front of Kang Qian, Kang Qian picked it up and looked at it carefully, the bright red color, the fragrant smell, the old man who had been dealing with women's cosmetics all the year round suddenly understood the purpose of this thing.
The words of the young gang leader came from the opposite side: "I think Kang Lao should have guessed that this thing is used to apply lips, and its name is lipstick." ”
