Chapter 31 Promotions
"Okay, Lu Ling, the shop will be handed over to you, Dongzi and his father will go to help you, my aunt won't go, Lu Feng can't leave people there for the time being."
Lu Xiumei was still nagging before leaving, in fact, she wanted to go to the branch, but the old store really couldn't do without people, Lu Feng had only been here for two days, and she was not even familiar with the price of the dishes. Fortunately, the child's father is at home, although he is not familiar with it, but it is no problem to start.
"Auntie, don't worry, I can learn everything I should learn, nothing should happen." Lu Ling patted her chest and reassured, looking full of confidence.
"A-Niang, it's not early, we're leaving."
Li Dong shouted outside the gate that the branch was a bit far away and needed to leave half an hour in advance. Fortunately, I drove Master Wang's electric tricycle back yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't know where to borrow a bicycle in the morning.
Speaking of traffic, it was also a problem, and Li Dong decided to equip his cousin with a bicycle to make it easier for her to commute to work. In fact, there are buses in the city, but unfortunately the work time is too early, and the buses have not yet departed.
"Here, auntie, then I'll go first."
"Don't be nervous, just like usual, don't miscalculate." Lu Xiumei admonished behind her back.
"Got it......"
"Buzz, buzz......"
Li Dong set off with his father and cousin, the sun had just risen, the temperature was still below zero, and the tricycle had no shelter, and the wind was shivering.
"Daddy, when the meeting is over, you go and buy a bicycle for your cousin, otherwise it will be a problem to go to work in the future." Li Dong chatted with Li's father while driving.
"Got it, you can concentrate on driving your car." Li's father was still a little worried about his eldest son's driving skills, originally he wanted to drive it himself, after all, he had driven a tractor on the farm, but he was unanimously opposed by everyone.
"Don't worry, Daddy, I can drive this broken car with my eyes closed." Li Dong boasted that because of lack of funds, in his previous life, he had transported a lot of people and luggage for the MLM organization in three rounds.
Early in the morning, there was no one in the vegetable market, and Li Dong lit the firecrackers he bought yesterday, which was a small celebration. Then, the three of them began to put vegetables on the shelves, most of which were leafy vegetables like cabbage, which grew quickly and did not require manual pollination, which was very efficient.
Soon, the first customer came to the door, and Lu Ling, as the store manager, immediately greeted him.
"Auntie, what do you want to buy? Our new store opens, the whole site is 10% off, absolutely cost-effective. ”
"Yes, no wonder I heard the sound of firecrackers just now, girl, what kind of dishes do you have in your store?" The eldest lady was immediately interested and said, this new store can't be met a few times a year after opening, and the discount is rare.
"Cabbage, lettuce, turnips, everything, you can come in and see." Lu Ling welcomed the eldest lady into the store.
"Yes, yes, it's all fresh, and the tender ones can be pinched out of the water." The eldest lady turned over a few vegetables at random and praised them.
"Yo, and tomatoes, I haven't touched them in a long time, so I can buy a little more."
In the end, Lu Ling sold a total of six catties of vegetables, three of which were tomatoes. If calculated according to the purchase price given by Li Dong to Lu Xiumei, this order not only did not make money, but lost money. Only people like Li Dong, who have a large supply of goods, can play a price war.
"Dongzi, isn't the nine-fold discount too high, I think it's going to lose money." Lu Ling was a little worried, although the discount could attract customers, but the loss also made her feel uncertain.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's just today, and now our main goal is to open up the popularity as soon as possible, and this loss is still acceptable at present."
Of course, Li Dong won't tell his cousin that these are almost all business-free transactions, he just wants to use the gimmick of opening the business to ship in large quantities. Moreover, more and more vegetables are harvested in the space, and they are about to be oversupplied, if it weren't for the fear of arousing the suspicion of others, he would even want to cancel the transaction in Xiahe Village.
Sure enough, low prices are the best way to promote, and the news of the discount of the branch immediately spread throughout the entire Qianhe Road vegetable market, causing a huge sensation. In front of the small shop, there are three inner and outer three floors, and everyone rushes to buy them, and often the vegetables are intercepted by customers before they can be put on the shelves.
……
"Boss, I inquired clearly, the owner of that store is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, it opened on the first day today, and the whole site is 10% off, and there is no limit." In a shop next door, a guy was reporting what he had heard.
"Hmph, it's really 'newborn calves are not afraid of tigers', don't worry about it, let him die by himself, I want to see how long he can last."
Zhao Lianshan is already an old man in the vegetable market, and he has worked hard to sell vegetables all his life, and today is the first time he has encountered such a strange thing. The quality of the vegetables is not bad, the whole audience is 9% off, why doesn't he lose the **.
Middlemen like him generally buy vegetables from major planting bases or rural areas at a price lower than 10% of the market, plus freight, labor and rent, the actual profit is only about 3%, and they can only make a small profit but sell quickly.
The fool next door is probably the first time to do business, and he actually played a profit promotion, and he didn't want to think about whether he could play it. Li Dong was about to become a dog at this time, of course he didn't know that his peers were laughing at him behind his back, even if he knew, he would probably reply: "The bird's ambition is clear." ”
The rush lasted until eight o'clock, when all the vegetables in the shops were sold out, until Li Dong repeatedly assured that the afternoon event would continue, and the crowd dispersed.
"Cousin, it's hard work, let's drink saliva."
Lu Ling is counting sales, which is a necessary job for her every day, and in the old store, her aunt gave her this task to do.
"Thanks, Dongzi." Lu Ling took the cup, took a sip and put it aside, continuing her great business of counting money.
"Dongzi, there are too many people, you tell your father honestly, how much you will lose this time." Father Li asked a little absent-mindedly, even if he had enough confidence in Li Dong, he was still nervous at the moment.
"Daddy, put your mind at ease, I can't lose, I got a preferential price from the supplier, and it can be regarded as his support for me to become bigger and stronger in disguise."
I don't know if Father Li accepted this explanation, but just muttered vigorously""": "Is there really such a good person in the world?" ”
"Dongzi, I calculated it, and sold for a total of 8,554 yuan this morning, 12 yuan less than the original estimate." Lu Ling said cautiously.
"Well, it is estimated that the 12 yuan should be a loss or the wrong money, which is still within a reasonable range." Li Dong said indifferently, these are normal phenomena.
"Okay, Dad, you and cousin go home together, I still have to go to the warehouse and bring back some vegetables." Li Dong put away a large handful of banknotes and left three hundred yuan in change for his cousin.
"Be careful on the road."
"Buzz, buzz......"
