Chapter 188: Encountering obstacles in opening a store
The vendors in the venue were quite moved when they heard this.
Most of them have no purchase channels, and they sell only high-quality and squeezed foreign trade goods, because the purchase quantity is not large and the price is not cheap.
For example, the price of trousers and clothes that are exported to domestic sales is more than 15 yuan for better fabrics. Because there are many people selling them, the profit is low. It is common to earn one or two yuan per piece.
There are several stalls in the venue that have purchased goods from Yangcheng.
They were well aware of how difficult and dangerous the journey to purchase goods was, not to mention the fear of carrying a huge amount of money along the way. After going there, they were bullied because they were from outside the country and the prices they were given were not cheap, such as low-quality thin jeans.
Their starting price for 20 pieces is no less than 22 yuan. After shipping them back, including travel and accommodation fees, the total cost is 30 yuan per piece, and then selling them for [-] yuan. In fact, the profit is only a little higher than that of Deliang, which is not cost-effective.
Now someone can help them purchase goods together, and the price is attractive.
For these stall owners, it’s pie-in-the-sky benefits.
But just because it’s a pie-in-the-sky thing, you have to pay first.
That's why they hesitate to take a stand. You look at me, I look at you, waiting for someone to take a stand first, and then make their own decision.
Li Cunxi didn't rush and picked up his chopsticks to eat calmly.
After a few minutes.
Finally, someone couldn't help but ask: "Boss Li, why are you so kind to help us purchase goods?"
Li Cunxi put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "This boss's question is a bit redundant. Naturally, I want to make a profit from it. As for making one yuan or two yuan from a piece of clothing, that is my ability. You don't need to envy me. You just need to know , this matter is mutually beneficial.”
"Then we gave you the money, how can you promise not to keep it for yourself?"
Someone asked again.
Li Cunxi replied: "You can draw up a contract, that is, a contract, and both parties sign and pledge it. If I don't deliver the goods, or take the money and run away, you can go to the police station and sue me."
In fact, this kind of contract is just for psychological comfort. If he really wants to run away, who can stop him? You know, in the near future, there will be a new profession that will spread wantonly with the development of the times.
That is the fraudster who is as hated as the thief.
In this day and age, the saying goes, there are too many liars and not enough fools.
Everyone understood almost everything and started to go straight to the topic.
"Boss Li, how much is the minimum amount of goods you want to purchase here?"
"No less than 500 yuan is enough, but I suggest you try to buy as much goods as possible. After all, we will buy goods together next time. I don't know when it will be. You have few goods and sell well. I can only stare at you with the money."
"How many days will it take to get the goods?"
"Within a week at the earliest and half a month at the latest. If I can't get the goods after half a month, I'll give you a dollar a day discount on the unit price."
"Okay, then I want 500 pairs of pants and 500 pairs of toad glasses."
"I want a thousand pairs of trousers and eight hundred pairs of toad glasses."
At this time.
Jin Wen stood up and said, "Don't be anxious, everyone. Let's eat and drink first. I'll register at the table and write you a note. Come to my house with the money tomorrow and we'll sign a formal contract. The goods will be picked up at my house."
After hearing this, everyone calmed down and waited for Jin Wen to come over and register.
I was busy for half an hour.
Li Cunxi and Jin Wen saw off all the stall owners.
After Jin Wen made statistics, he took his notebook and reported softly: "They asked for a total of 9500 pairs of trousers and 1 pairs of glasses. If the full payment is paid, the total amount will be 25."
"How much we can earn now depends on our ability to bargain. Let's go and make a call."
Li Cunxi and Jin Wen left Dongxing Building and went straight to the garment factory. They first called the denim garment factory.
With a huge order of 9 pairs of trousers and a promise of no less than [-] pairs of trousers in the future, he successfully reduced the price to [-] yuan a pair, and he added a requirement to the custom-made trousers.
That’s [-] pairs of pants, all of which must be marked with the Swallow logo.
As for the transaction method.
He first transferred [-]% of the deposit and the remaining [-]%, and asked the manufacturer to send someone to deliver the goods to the capital, paying one hand and delivering the goods.
As for the toad mirror.
He definitely couldn't give money to the smuggler Lao Liu first. The two of them argued and fought, and finally Lao Liu compromised and personally escorted the goods to the capital, paying the money and delivering the goods.
In this way, if the transaction goes well, he can make a profit of nearly 9 yuan.
Beyond that, there are two additional benefits.
He added the Swallow brand to the pants, and then taught the vendors how to speak, and established the Swallow brand through their mouths.
Second.
Jeans and toad glasses have become popular, and profits have returned to the normal range. Then Zhu San, the grandson's good days of making money are over, and he can be regarded as letting out a bad breath.
This is the end.
Li Cunxi completely quit the night market, gave Jin Wen and others a few days off, and gave everyone a four-digit bonus.
While he was looking for a house to open a shop, he was also tidying up the courtyard.
It has been a busy half month.
This half month has been a mixed bag for him.
The good news is that the courtyard is almost ready. Furniture, a house, and electrical appliances are all available, including a telephone. Because the street itself has an exchange, he only spent less than 2000 yuan to own a landline.
As long as the wife successfully completes the play, this long-awaited surprise can be revealed in front of her.
Besides.
The pants and toad mirror were also handed over to the vendor.
For the swallow brand on the pants.
He compiled a complete set of words, taught each vendor step by step how to introduce products, and wrote multiple fictional brand histories of Swallow.
The specific general idea is that Swallow is a high-end luxury brand from Italy. All the people wearing this brand are foreign royal families and celebrities. Anyway, they are just bragging.
As for whether customers and vendors believe it or not, it doesn't matter. Sellers are happy to use this rhetoric to increase the value of goods and sell them at a good price.
Customers who bought jeans are also willing to use this lofty expression to tell their friends how expensive their pants are to satisfy their vanity.
In this way, Swallow's reputation has been initially opened. When the store is officially opened, he will have a group of fans without even publicity.
But speaking of shops.
Li Cunxi was terribly worried.
After half a month of inquiring, he learned a cruel truth.
That is to say, it is impossible for Wangfujing’s shops to be used by individuals.
Even if it is used by a state-owned enterprise, it must be reported to each level. If the enterprise is not large enough or does not have an iron-clad relationship, it will not be approved.
But Li Cunxi does not intend to give up his plan to open a store in Wangfujing until he attends the premiere of his wife's play.
He was going to discuss it with Lu Changgui, hoping that Lu Changgui could rent a street shop in the name of a garment factory and then sublet it to him.
