Chapter 93 Food Wholesale Station

On Monday, I wanted Minli Cannery Finance to send the money directly to Hongyuan Construction Company.

Bai Luoxue reminded me that it is best to buy a sales office in my own name, and I can collect rent in the future. If you buy the rent in the name of the company, you can go to the account of the unit.

I really didn't expect that. I originally thought that the canneries belonged to me, and the name was different, but in fact it was very different.

In the name of collecting management fees, I asked the finance department to transfer the money to the ecological agriculture company first, and then I withdrew the money and remitted it to Hongyuan Company.

In this operation, I need to pay a considerable amount of personal income tax, which is still very cost-effective compared to the continuous income of rent.

Bai Luoxue accompanied me to the sales office to handle the handover and went to the real estate bureau to apply for the real estate certificate. This thing has been running for a long time. Yao Hongyuan called, the sales office was emptied, and later he personally sent me the keys.

The efficiency is quite high.

At lunchtime, Bai Luoxue and I began to discuss what specific business the sales office would carry out.

When you open a shopping mall, you can handle a wide variety of goods and involve a lot of affairs. I'm very busy right now and definitely don't have that much energy. Bai Luoxue is now mainly focused on the Minli cannery, and it is impossible for her to stare at that side every day.

In the end, it was decided to use its own resource advantages to engage in scattered wholesale to make up for the business strategy of the canning factory.

The sales office was renamed as a green food wholesale station, and the canning factory operated a variety of canned fish. It is mainly aimed at retail investors who sell less than 100 cases per month. In this way, those small shops, small supermarkets and even street stalls can sell canned fish and special dishes.

When it came to determining the affiliation of the Green Food Wholesale Station, the two of us had an argument. Bai Luoxue wanted me to designate the ecological agriculture company as a subsidiary.

And I prefer to attribute it to Minli Canning Factory, as an export department of the cannery.

In the end, Bai Luoxue convinced me that it is better to have one more tertiary company than one more secondary company, so that once there is a problem in the canning factory, the green food wholesale station has nothing to do with it.

It seems that I thought it was too simple, and in the end it was decided as she said.

The wholesale station needs manpower, so I have transferred 10 people from the canning factory to be relatively young, both men and women, in line with the principle of leaning and efficient. One of the former team leaders was appointed as the store manager, and he was responsible for the day-to-day operation. An accountant was transferred from finance to take charge of finance.

When applying for a business license, Bai Luoxue and I had a disagreement again. She asked me to be a legal person because I was the funder. And I suggest that she do it. I was actually a little cautious about keeping her on a leash in this way and getting closer to me.

She excused herself, and in the end I had to force it by executive order. And she confessed.

After the legal matters were completed, I asked people to make three large plaques, hang them in front of the building, and held a grand unveiling ceremony. I didn't invite the county leaders to participate in this matter, but those well-informed media heard the news and waited in front of the building early to wait for the interview.

I'm not a legal person, I didn't give an interview, and I pushed Bai Luoxue to the front of the stage. In this case, she had no choice but to say a few words, and at the same time to promote the wholesale station.

On the day of the unveiling, the wholesale station was very lively. With a long line of customers in sight and 10 clerks overcrowded, Bai Luoxue transferred another 10 people from the cannery. The test sales goods prepared before were sold out, and several more truckloads had to be pulled.

Because it is the face of the store, it cannot be closed at noon, so the salespeople have to take turns to eat and take turns to rest, but fortunately, there is a dormitory and a kitchen on the third floor, which is also convenient.

In order not to overwork the clerks, I decided to close the store at night. Bai Luoxue also agreed, and the clerks were even happier, except for leaving someone on duty to guard, the rest of the staff went home to rest.

The next day, there was still a steady stream of customers. When I inquired closely, they were basically the owners of those small shops. They had been waiting for these canned fish dishes for days, and now they finally had them to buy. I could tell from their expressions that I couldn't contain their excitement.

This level of popularity has been going on for a week. After that, there were fewer customers, but they kept coming.

Bai Luoxue reported that most of the customers who came later were guests from outside Loess County. This means that they also got the news. I guess it's more likely that the news media is playing a role, in addition to word-of-mouth among friends and relatives. For this reason, I also praised Bai Luoxue, the role of the big beauty propaganda is very effective.

She said she was forced by me.

Since the nature of the store is characterized as a wholesale station, the retail business is naturally much less. Those small bosses can't go wholesale every day, and after a short time, the number of customers will be smaller, and even if there are only 10 people left in the store, they will be idle most of the time.

A comparison of turnover, much worse than some time ago.

According to Bai Luoxue's analysis, the varieties operated by the store are too single, and the next round of wholesale boom will not come until those small shops and supermarkets sell out of goods. During this period of time, the business will be relatively depressed.

In view of this situation, we must find a way, otherwise the wholesale station will not be profitable.

I thought of flour from a flour mill. At the mention of this, Bai Luoxue also agreed to increase the variety. She knows the advantages of this flour and has eaten it before, but she is worried that this kind of goods is very hot, and the flour mill is in short supply, so it is estimated that it is not easy to order.

I'll have to do it myself. When I got to the flour mill, I found the manager. The manager knew me, and when I met him, I was polite and polite with tea and cigarettes. The reason why his flour is selling so well depends on my wheat supply, and the manager naturally knows this premise.

If I buy flour directly from him, the price is higher, which compresses my profit margins. If I want to make some money, I can only rely on wholesale volumes, and I certainly don't want to do that.

Every day, I would go to the flour mill to hand over the wheat, and I offered to let the flour mill help with some of the processing, and I paid for the processing fee. The specific processing quantity depends on the sales performance of the wholesale station, so I tried to order a batch first. The manager of the flour mill was very willing to help me, and he would never lose me as a supplier of raw materials because of this profit, and now he is his customer again.

In this way, the cost of flour is much lower and the profit is considerable.

The flour was delivered directly to the wholesale station, but I didn't do that. In terms of accounts, let Bai Luoxue operate, in the name of the characteristic ecological company with the flour mill processing materials, and then resell to the wholesale station.

In this way, I can charge a fee at the preferential price of the flour mill wholesale, and the wholesale station will wholesale at a slightly higher price than the flour mill, and I will be dealing with the vendors who cannot buy goods from the flour mill.

At the same time, it is open to the public at the retail price of the mall for the convenience of surrounding residents.

As soon as this flour appeared, the wholesale station caused a wave of sales boom. Although the situation cannot be compared with the day of the inauguration, the sales are also quite impressive.

After calculation, Bai Luoxue found that the profit of flour was basically the same as that of canned fish. What's more, how much flour came in that day, it only took one day to sell out, so much so that I had to buy the next day, and I had to increase the amount of a single purchase.

The manager of the flour mill didn't seem to be happy with letting me process too much at once, but he couldn't refuse me except for a few small words, and finally used the sentence "If you have money, everyone earns!" "to end our conversation.
