Chapter 192: Two Cabinets of Diapers
When I first arrived at Dalian Port, I was still quite shocked for people who had never seen the port.
Cargo ships, cranes and colorful containers, Chen Erdong had only seen them on TV before, and everything was very novel.
Walking on the wharf, Chen Erdong, who had taken adequate measures to protect himself from the cold from head to toe, faced the cold wind, pointed to the container in the distance, and said to Du Yu:
"In the future, there will be our containers there, one cabinet will become two, two will become four, and I will let every child in Jincheng wear the diapers I supply."
Du Yu felt the same and shouted a few times at the sea.
Even the fat man was very familiar with the port and took them around to visit. There are many warehouses near the port, and the rent is not expensive, and even the fat man recommended a few to them.
Chen Erdong's plan, the first purchase, take two containers first, only import diapers, lay the first layer of market foundation, and then make purchase adjustments according to changes in demand.
In the end, they booked an 80-square-meter warehouse, which was managed by a special person, with fire and moisture-proof treatment, and the truck could drive directly to the door, which was safe and reliable.
Lian Fat Man said that he was usually busy with business, and found a distant cousin who worked in the port to be responsible for receiving the goods, and Chen Erdong and Du Yu combined to give him 2,000 yuan a month.
After the arrangements were made, Lian Fatzi suggested that they go to see what popular imported products were stored by nearby merchants, which would help them understand the market.
After a while, even the fat man's cousin came, and the young man was wearing a military coat, and he was in the dust.
My cousin's name is Tao Yunhu, nicknamed Huzi, who has not studied since graduating from high school and has been working as a worker in the port.
Huzi took out an ultraviolet lamp, Du Yu was curious, and asked him what was the use? Huzi said: "Genuine Japanese diapers have a secret code on the outer packaging, and they can only be seen when illuminated with ultraviolet light. ”
Du Yu went to a nearby imported goods store to buy a pack of diapers, and scanned it with a UV lamp, but he didn't see the code.
Chen Erdong and Huzi also went to scan it, but still didn't find it, Huzi smiled and said: "See, there are fakes even in the port, you must be careful when you buy goods." ”
There are three major brands of diapers in Japan, Kao, Daio and Unicharm, among which Kao is the best-selling in China.
Huzi was well aware of the current situation of imported goods and gave a detailed introduction to Chen Erdong and Du Yu. Du Yu praised the fat man for finding him a good helper.
Huzi said: "Many imported goods in the Northeast are sent out by Dalian Port, the north is not better than the south, the update and iteration will be a beat slower, if the goods have been popular here, then there should be a more mature market foundation in the south." ”
The group went around again, and Huzi took them to a familiar wholesale store, where he told the owner that it was the owner of the southern goods to see the goods.
He took the ultraviolet lamp to find a few packs of Kao diapers, and sure enough, he found the code, Chen Erdong said that this knowledge point is very important, and he will know how to distinguish the authenticity in the future.
Du Yu said: "Fakes are too rampant! What will happen if the child uses this fake diaper? ”
"The skin has a red rash and in severe cases, it can also become infected. They use inferior materials, which are cheap, have carcinogenic ingredients, and then add fluorescent agents to increase the brightness. These things are close to the body, so for those parts, it must be harmful. Huzi said.
These words shocked Chen Erdong and Du Yu, this is a product related to children's health, and it must not be taken lightly.
When he returned to the hotel that night, Du Yu had a video call with Tono and raised all the product problems he had learned today.
Tono is aware of these problems, and he said that there are many black factories in the country that specialize in counterfeiting Japanese best-selling products.
But what he can guarantee is that the products he handles must be from local supermarkets and drugstores, so that Du Yu can rest assured.
"What I'm going to say next, please don't mind, don't look for supplies from the Chinese in Japan, they have a lot of fakes in their hands, and the whole trade circle is in a miasma by them," Tono said. ”
Du Yu translated Chen Erdong, although these words are indeed uncomfortable to hear, but the domestic environment is indeed the same.
Chen Erdong felt a little embarrassed, skipped this topic, and asked Du Yu to ask him if he had any good product recommendations.
Tono said that he would send Du Yu a legend of the best-selling products later, some of these products are the same as diapers, which need to be scanned, and some can be ordered directly from the manufacturer.
Finally, he wished the brothers a prosperous business and gradually expand the market and sell more products in the future.
The day before leaving Dalian, Du Yu paid Tuye for the first order, two containers totaling 200,000 yuan.
This batch of goods, Tono sent from Osaka, is expected to arrive in Dalian within a month, and Huzi will handle customs clearance matters at that time.
Back in Jincheng, Chen Erdong went to contact a warehouse for receiving goods. The two sent reservation notices to the mother and baby store where they had left their contact information.
Chen Erdong set a wholesale price of 125 yuan and a retail price of 155 yuan, both of which were lower than the market price.
He asked to order the goods, and the merchant must pay half of the deposit first, but he didn't expect that the effect was surprisingly good.
In three days, these two boxes of goods were sold out, and a deposit of more than 200,000 yuan was collected, that is to say, more than half of their first investment has been returned.
Originally, Chen Erdong also planned to keep some of it in the circle of friends for retail to earn some high profits, but at this speed, he could only put the idea of retail in the next time.
Looking forward to a month, the goods arrived at Dalian Port, Huzi customs clearance went smoothly, and the goods did not even enter the warehouse, so they were directly loaded and headed for Jincheng.
Two days later, Chen Erdong and Du Yu stood excitedly at the door of the warehouse, waiting for their truck to arrive.
For the amount of two containers, Huzi found an extended truck to barely load it.
When watching the red leather truck with the familiar license plate number driving into the warehouse park, Chen Erdong and Du Yu looked at each other and smiled, looking like a trade tycoon.
In Dalian Port, Huzi has sampled and inspected hundreds of bags of diapers, and he can scan out the code, and he specially marked the boxes for random inspection, so that Chen Erdong could sample other boxes in Jincheng.
Du Yu was happy and said that this child was really careful, and he also sent a WeChat red envelope to Lian Fat to show his gratitude.
The workers in the warehouse were busy unloading the goods, and Chen Erdong and Du Yu were not idle, and stepped forward to work as coolies together.
In fact, they don't need to do it, but the two of them can't suppress their excitement, and they feel very down-to-earth to be able to touch their own goods.
At the same time as placing them in the warehouse, Chen Erdong sampled more than 100 packs of diapers, and all of them had secret codes like those sampled by Huzi, and he was immediately relieved.
Tono's work is also more meticulous, he put the receipts for scanning goods in different supermarkets into the corresponding boxes, and the receipts are similar to those in China except for Japanese.
Chen Erdong said: "This is true enough, we are the purchasing agent!" ”
This month, Chen Erdong made a live broadcast of the entire logistics process on Moments, and everyone can see how he loaded the goods on the ship in Japan, arrived at Dalian Port and received the goods in Jincheng.
Many people left messages under his circle of friends, congratulating Boss Chen on opening a new business.
He is popular, and all kinds of beautiful words and likes erupt.
For people in Chen Erdong's circle of friends, the business he is involved in has become the norm every two or three years.
