Chapter 250: You're a Genius Too
"Eight meters long, one meter high, that's eight squares. $40 per square meter, a total of $320. Li Shun quoted directly.
Dong Xiu couldn't help but be stunned, three hundred and twenty yuan was a lot. He repaired motorcycles for other people, and his business was good, and he could earn more than 300 yuan.
It costs a month of profit to make a billboard, and he is a little reluctant.
But after thinking about it, if you can rely on advertising to recover the disadvantage of the business, and you can steal part of the business of the opposite Yafei, it is not impossible to have a billboard of more than 300 yuan.
"Can you get a little cheaper?" Dong Xiu bargained.
"No, the price of the light box is 50 yuan per square meter. You're the first customer, so you're given forty dollars. Li Shun said.
Dong Xiu fell into deep thought, and said with a smile after half a minute:
"Let's not talk about the price, I don't know what the lightbox you are talking about. I didn't see the goods, so I wasn't sure if it was what I needed. ”
Li Shun smiled dumbly, this is the truth, it is true that you can't do business if you don't let the other party see the goods.
"Xiaoyu Xiaochuan, make a signboard according to the size, let Brother Dong take a good look." Li Shun made a decisive arrangement.
The brothers frowned when they heard this, and Li Xiaochuan stepped forward:
"Brother Shun, electric welding is needed to make signboards, if we don't want to do a good job, won't we lose money?"
"It won't be a loss, if Brother Dong doesn't want it, he will install it on our door and use it himself. Let's get started! Li Shun said.
Now the signs in the store are aluminum-plastic panels, titanium lettering and neon signs, and it is necessary to make another airbrushed cloth light box.
At the very least, let customers see what the light box looks like, and only with the physical object as a sample, can the business continue.
When the younger brothers saw that Brother Shun had made up their minds, Yanbei immediately called the steel store and asked them to send the triangle over.
Li Xiaochuan pulled the welding machine, cutting machine and other tools outside the store, and started work when the steel came.
"Brother Li, I'm a little embarrassed." Dong Xiu was slightly embarrassed.
"It's that I'm embarrassed that I didn't prepare the samples in advance. Brother Dong, let's drink tea. ”
Li Shun smiled and continued to entertain Dong Xiu with tea.
Dong Xiu drank tea and chatted while watching everyone busy and witnessing the whole production process of the light box.
Yan Bei and Li Mingyu put down a 1.2-meter-wide roll of spray-painted cloth, measured the length of 8.2 meters with a leather tape measure, and cut it off with scissors.
Rectangular inkbrushed cloth, Yanbei held a rubber hammer and special tools, folded the edge of the inkjet cloth in half a few centimeters, and used a hammer to make holes in it.
Dong Xiu looked at it with interest, and suddenly thought of the lace holes in the shoes that his mother made for him when he was a child.
First use an iron chisel to open a hole, then fix the metal iron ring, and then you can wear the laces.
The sound of a cutting machine came from outside the door, and Li Xiaochuan used the cutting machine to cut the triangle.
Dong Xiu showed a strong interest, and Li Shun immediately proposed to go outside the door to have a look.
Li Xiaochuan cut the material according to the size of eight meters by one meter, and the cutting machine kept coming out of sparks.
After cutting the material, Li Xiaochuan began to weld, welding an iron frame eight meters long, one meter wide, and 15 centimeters thick.
Dong Xiu bent down and picked up a twenty-centimeter angle iron and studied it carefully:
"This is a domestically produced 30 cm x 30 cm angle iron, right?"
"Yes, the iron frame is the skeleton of the billboard, and I only use the national standard angle iron." Li Shun said with a smile.
Dong Chuan is very satisfied, the quality of the national standard angle iron is better than that of the non-national standard, and the service life is naturally much longer than that of the non-national standard.
After the iron frame was welded, Yan Bei and Li Mingyu carried the inkjet cloth out and put the inkbrush on the shelf.
Fix the four corners with 502 glue first, and then continue to fix the middle part.
Use pliers to cut many sections of tie wire, and the length of each section is about 20 cm.
The inkbrushed cloth had a circle of lace holes, and the brothers used silk ties as shoelaces to fasten the inkbrushed cloth to the shelves.
The billboard is like a rectangular drum, and the drum surface is as white as snow, which looks high-end and atmospheric.
"Putting the advertising words on the drum and installing the signboard on my door, this is the lightbox advertisement?" Dong Xiu said.
"Congratulations, you'll be answered." Li Shun smiled, pointed to the billboard and said:
"The reason why it's called a light box is that you can install an incandescent tube in the signboard. You can turn on electricity at night, and you can see the words on the sign at night, so you can know what your store is for. ”
Dong Xiu was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but praise:
"What a genius idea, did you invent this advertising method?"
"It's not, it seems to have been invented by Europeans, we're just picking people's teeth." Li Shun waved his hand and said:
"You don't fix the car at night, there's no need to add incandescent tubes. For businesses that are open at night such as restaurant food stalls, it is necessary to make light boxes. ”
Dong Xiu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said:
"Can you make me another small one? Two meters high, seventy or eighty long, twenty centimeters thick, placed on the side of the road to solicit business. Put an electric light in a small light box. ”
This time it was Li Shun's turn to be dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but praise him:
"What a genius! The big sign on the door can only be seen when you walk in. A small light box on the side of the road, which can be seen from a long distance. ”
Li Shun thought to himself, if my motorcycle breaks down on the road, I will see if there is a repair shop nearby.
If I see a light box from a repair shop on the side of the road, I'll just push the cart there.
I don't pay attention to other repair shops that you can't see at a glance.
People in the world have preconceived notions, and this is the business opportunity and benefit that advertising brings.
"Brother Li, how much does it cost to make such a big light box?" Dong Xiu asked.
"Come into the house and I'll do the math for you." Li Shun took him into the house and used a calculator to calculate the area of the small light box.
A cube with a height of two meters, a width of 0.8 meters, and a thickness of 0.2 meters needs to calculate the total area of six faces, what is the calculation formula?
Li Shun put pen to paper, and soon came up with the result:
"The surface area is 4.3 square meters, and the small light box is 30 yuan per square meter, for a total of 129 yuan."
Dong Xiu felt that it was a bit expensive, the eight-meter signboard was three hundred and twenty yuan, and the two-meter small light box was one hundred and thirteen:
"Brother Li, does this price include lamps and wires?"
"Two sets of incandescent fixtures are included, but the wires that enter the house are not included. The wire is a dollar and a meter, you can also buy the wire yourself, and we will install it for you. Li Shun said.
Dong Xiu lit a cigarette and began to think, two sets of incandescent tubes are about 30 yuan, and the overall price is okay.
After smoking a cigarette, Dong Xiu made up his mind:
"A signboard and a light box, a total of 449 yuan, how much wire is used, right?"
"Yes, I will use pure copper flower wire for you, so you won't suffer." Li Shun gave assurances.
"Okay, brother, let's do it for me now." Dong Xiu is also a cheerful person.
The business was successfully negotiated, Li Shun was very happy, and immediately arranged for Li Xiaochuan to weld the light box.
Arrange Yan Bei and Li Mingyu to find a two-meter-wide inkjet cloth and cut it according to the size.
"Brother Dong, let's design the advertising content. The signboard at the door is generally a line of large characters. Add a line of small print below, the small print is the main business, you can add the phone number,"
"Well, the big characters are made into Dong Xiu's motorcycle refinement, and the main business makes me think about it."
"Don't rush, think slowly." Li Shun poured him another cup of tea, and the first business is always expected.
