Chapter 50: To get back into business
Liu Lamei blinked, "Miao Xiu, you mean, let's buy fish from other contractors and send them to the canteen of the unit in the town?" Miao Xiu, this didn't make money, and it was a waste of time. ”
Tian Xiuying tilted her head and calculated the account for a while, and said, "Miao Xiu, not only did you not make any money by doing this, but you also lost money." If you think about it, we are borrowed fish, but we have to buy it, but we can't get it back immediately when we sell it, how can we have so much money to pay for the fish in advance? You can't borrow it. ”
"It's not a good business, you can't do it." Liu Lamei shook her head.
Both mother and daughter were embarrassed, but Tian Miaoxiu's expression was calm.
Zhou Shuoran looked at Tian Miaoxiu, her eyes were surprised, waiting for her to answer.
Tian Miaoxiu smiled slightly, not in a hurry at all, "Mom, eldest sister, you can't just think about making money in business, you have to consolidate a good relationship." Earn less this time, what about next time? We're looking for the next business. ”
"Next time? If you can't make money next time......" Liu Lamei sighed, "Your eldest brother is not too young, you have to hurry up and save money for him to marry his daughter-in-law, as well as your second brother's tuition fees......"
Tian Xiuying also said, "Yes, Miao Xiu, we can't take risks. ”
Tian Miaoxiu said again, "Mom, eldest sister, listen to me, we will collect a hundred fish, but we may not give it to other contractors according to the price just now, we can give less and make a little difference." They don't need to go to the stall to make a profit, and they will be happy to cooperate with us. ”
Liu Lamei was still skeptical, "Are they willing?" Earn so much less? ”
"There's a business called small profits but quick turnover! They sell at wholesale prices, and although the retail prices are high, they have to waste a lot of time. Tian Miaoxiu said again.
Liu Lamei has been a workshop worker for half her life, and she has never been in contact with business, and she doesn't know what small profits and quick turnover, or retail.
"Let's go home and talk to your dad and big brother first." Liu Lamei said.
Tian Xiuying tilted her head and looked at Tian Miaoxiu in surprise, "Little sister, you actually know more than me." ”
When Zhou Shuoran looked at Tian Miaoxiu, his eyes were also filled with surprise.
Tian Miaoxiu snorted lightly and raised her eyebrows proudly, "Because, I also did business at school. ”
Liu Lamei turned around and glared at Tian Miaoxiu, "Miao Xiu, you don't study well in school, how do you start a business?" ”
Tian Miaoxiu said with a smile, "Mom, when I say business, I mean our school. For example, I help my classmates solve problems that they can't solve, and they pay a dime for solving a problem. Solve two questions and send one question, which is called small profits but quick turnover. Many classmates in the class have asked me to solve problems, my business is the best in the grade, and I have money to eat steamed buns every day. ”
Listening to her talk about her proud past, Zhou Shuoran couldn't help but wonder.
Tian Xiuying smiled and touched her little head, "I said, why do you always have money, I want to give you pocket money, you are not short of money, it turns out that you will still make money." ”
Liu Lamei couldn't help but smile too.
But she was still worried about this unbearable business, "Let's go quickly, we have to discuss it with your father quickly." ”
She wants to make money quickly now.
The eldest son fell out of love and didn't arrange the next marriage, she was worried that the eldest son wouldn't be able to think about it.
Besides, the environment at home does have to be changed, and living in a dilapidated and dilapidated house is inevitably a joke.
Everyone quickened their pace and went home.
The tavern in the town happened to deliver lunch, and Tian Miaoxiu went to pick up lunch.
Liu Lamei took Tian Miaoxiu and went to the backyard to find Tian Changfa.
It's midday, and it's the hottest time.
The people who helped, all went back.
Tian Changfa and his two sons sat in the shade behind the house to enjoy the shade, talking about homely things.
"Dad, I'll discuss something with you." Liu Lamei put down the burden of the bucket, didn't even have time to wipe the sweat, and walked over quickly.
"Mom, what's the matter? Gone in such a hurry? Tian Guodong took a fan and fanned Liu Lamei.
Liu Lamei talked about selling fish just now, "This is a big business, but we don't have so many fish, Miao Xiu said, find other contractors to borrow, Guodong Dad, do you think this method is feasible?" ”
"Mom, this is a good way, first have a good relationship with the buyer, don't worry about the next business, and when our fish pond officially has fish, this is a long-term customer." Tian Guoliang patted his thigh and said.
During the lunch break these days, he would sneak to the village team's outlet to watch TV.
On the news on TV, this kind of business method was mentioned.
Tian Guodong also said, "Dad, when doing business, you pay attention to relationships. They all like to find familiar buyers, and when they get acquainted with each other, they become fixed buyers. ”
Liu Lamei sighed, "I understand this truth, when we were on the road, I also discussed it with Xiuying, but we don't have so many fish, go and borrow it, can you borrow it?" ”
The contractors of several other fish ponds in the contracted village team knew that their families also had to raise fish when they dug fish ponds, but they did not say anything sour.
Liu Lamei is also a person who doesn't like to make friends with Pan, and she has always been timid in terms of personal accidents.
Asked her to borrow the fish, and she retreated.
Tian Changfa thought for a while and said, "I'll borrow it first, let's borrow as much as we can." The village team couldn't borrow it, so they went farther away to buy some as a buyer, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to buy fish. ”
"Mom, just do what Dad says." Tian Miaoxiu was not in a hurry at all.
"Mom, this is our first big business, we shouldn't think about making more and making less, as long as they don't lose money, as long as they come to buy fish next time, it's a harvest, and what they do is long-term trading." Tian Guoliang said his thoughts after watching TV.
Liu Lamei looked at the father and son, and nodded, "Okay, let's do it first." ”
"Uncle Tian, Aunt Tian, don't worry, I just asked the waiter who delivered lunch at Yueke Hotel, and he said that he knew a contractor in the next town, who had more than ten acres of fish ponds at home, and the day after tomorrow, I directly asked him to transport a hundred, just say that we sent it, and stabilize this business first." At this time, Zhou Shuoran came over and said to everyone.
"Shuo Ran, why is it so good to trouble you again? We've figured it out on our side. Tian Changfa waved his hand and said.
"yes, Shuoran, we've got a good idea." If Zhou Shuoran is asked to help, Liu Lamei will be even more uneasy.
After all, there are too many favors owed.
Tian Guodong and Tian Guoliang also said that they had already figured out a way.
Zhou Shuoran heard them say this, and did not deliberately force it, and said, "It's okay, Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian will arrange it first, and I will also ask someone to prepare, let's prepare with both hands." ”
Only Tian Miaoxiu tilted her head to look at the sky.
She'd wait until it got dark and then go find some fish.
.
After lunch, Tian Changfa took Tian Guodong and Tian Guoliang to borrow fish from other contractors in the village.
Sure enough, as Liu Lamei guessed, as soon as the father and son opened their mouths and told people that they wanted to buy 30 big grass carp of more than five catties, the contractor smiled teasingly.
"Long-haired brother, don't you have a fish pond at home? Why do you still buy it at my house? My fish weighs only half a catty. ”
