Chapter 163 Inventory Crisis

Xia Keqing nodded approvingly.

"you're right."

“But that’s not right.”

Wang Wanzhen looked confused.

Xia Keqing said: "I have to go to Shenzhen in person for this matter."

As a store manager, Wang Wanzhen's thinking has changed a lot after some experience.

"Boss, when will you be back?"

Xia Keqing thought for a moment and said, "If it's fast, it will take two days. If it's slow, it may take three to five days."

Public transportation in this era was not as convenient as in later generations, so this was already the fastest speed.

Now, Zhang Xia cannot be contacted at Yuxia Garment Factory at all. When they called, a young woman answered the phone and said she was the factory director's assistant.

We are also responsible for Keqing's orders, but due to logistics reasons, we may not be able to deliver the goods on time.

This reason may be used to appease a child, but Xia Keqing is not a child.

She doesn't believe it.

She now has two assumptions in her mind.

One is that Zhang Xia’s appetite has grown and she wants to cause trouble.

The second reason may be that the internal conflicts there have not been well coordinated.

The former is a problem between her and Zhang Xia, and the latter is a problem with Zhang Xia's ability.

To Ke Qing, these are all big problems.

After all, no matter how good the business is, it is useless if there is no goods.

She had to go to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in person to see whether she had nurtured Zhang Xia's appetite, making her think she could raise the price at will, or whether there was some problem internally. No matter what the situation was, Xia Keqing had already anticipated it.

So she has been looking for a suitable location or a factory to sell during this period.

I plan to take it over and open a processing plant of my own.

At the beginning, she had not accumulated enough original capital and could not afford to spend so much money to start a factory.

Eat your food one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

Now, if Zhang Xia’s problem cannot be properly resolved, then she may have to speed up the process of setting up the factory.

You can't just close a store that makes hundreds of dollars in profit every day.

This is such a loss.

When Wang Wanzhen heard Xia Keqing say in person that she was going to Shenzhen, she had actually already expected it, so she was not surprised.

He just nodded and said with a sad expression: "Boss, you have to come back as soon as possible. You are our pillar of support."

These words made Xia Keqing laugh.

"You and my sister-in-law, the two store managers, are my pillars of support."

Wang Wanzhen was a little embarrassed, but Xia Keqing said seriously: "It's okay, just temporarily cancel some activities in the store, and everything else will be fine as usual."

If there is no major event in the store, under normal circumstances, a store will sell forty to fifty pieces a day. Because the store managed by Mrs. Shen is a new store, the promotion is stronger and it can sell fifty to sixty pieces of clothing every day. However, because of the big opening sale, the profit will be lower.

So the daily sales are almost the same.

In this way, the two stores can sell nearly a hundred pieces of clothing every day.

More than 500 pieces of inventory are at risk.

Xia Keqing had just finished talking to Wang Wanzhen and Qin Qiaowei when Mrs. Shen came over in a hurry.

"Keqing, what's going on? I heard from Xiao Wang that the main store doesn't have much stock left, and many styles are out of stock?"

Mrs. Shen manages a branch store, which also has a warehouse, so there is some inventory there, but relatively speaking.

×The store here is the "head office" and most of the inventory is stored here.

So Mrs. Shen would come over from time to time to adjust the goods.

She is also the most astute about inventory.

When I heard that some styles here could not be adjusted, I came here to inquire in person.

Xia Keqing nodded, "There may be some problem with the supply of goods. I have to go to Shenzhen in person."

At this point, Mrs. Shen was a little anxious, "What happened?"

Xia Keqing shook her head. She didn't know what exactly happened. However, if this incident was caused by Zhang Xia's greed, then the matter would be a bit serious.

But Xia Keqing was not afraid of this seriousness at all.

Because she had long known the complexity of human nature, she had been prepared from the beginning for the possibility that Zhang Xia might betray her.

Mrs. Shen became even more anxious. "What can we do? Our store's business is so good. If there is a problem with the supply of goods, will we not be able to get the goods in the future?"

"Is it because our shipment volume is too large and the source of goods cannot deliver the goods?"

Wang Wanzhen stared at Mrs. Shen dimly and said, "It would be great if that's the case."

Mrs. Shen’s face turned pale.

This period of time can be said to be the happiest and most fulfilling time in Mrs. Shen’s life.

She never knew that women don't just have to revolve around the kitchen, men, and children.

She can also leave her family, realize her self-worth, and make a lot of money.

Money really is a person's courage.

With money, the family status is invisibly elevated.

It’s like calling home and talking to my parents-in-law, my mindset is completely different.

It can be said that Mrs. Shen doesn't want anything to happen in the store at all.

She will work in the store forever!

Xia Keqing saw that she was really anxious and comforted her, "Don't worry, it's okay. I just told Wanzhen and the others to postpone the event for now and explain it to the guests."

"In general, people can understand it. If that doesn't work, just give them some gifts to comfort them."

Mrs. Shen could only nod.

But she was still a little worried. "Our store is doing so well, and I saw a similar store opened nearby, even the decoration style is similar."

Qin Qiaowei also said: "Yes, I saw it too. I was wondering why that store looked so familiar. It turned out to be the decoration style."

“It’s really like us.”

Xia Keqing looked very calm.

It is inevitable that business will be imitated.

But she adheres to one principle - I have what others do not, and I am better than others.

As long as you always stay ahead of others, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Once her factory is opened, she will have more advantages as a first-hand source of goods. Besides, her brand has already been established, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

In fact, you can't tell much about brands at first. People who don't understand them always think that as long as the quality of the product is good, it doesn't matter whether it is a brand or not.

But they simply ignore the fact that a loud, well-known name is also important.

For example, if you just bought a new dress and your good friend likes it too, and asks you where you bought it, you can directly say that it is the Keqing brand and it is sold at × University.

Good sisters can go directly to the vicinity of × University, where they can easily see "Keqing Women's Clothing" and find the Keqing brand clothes sold there.

If a brand's style has good sales, it will not be out of stock in most cases.

Once you enter the store, just give a brief description and the salesperson will have an impression of it, so it's easy to find.

But if the clothes you bought do not have a well-known brand, or you did not buy it in an exclusive brand store, do you have to remember the name of the store in addition to the style of the clothes?

That's the difference.

That afternoon, Xia Keqing went directly to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

When I arrived at Yuxia Garment Factory and explained my purpose, I quickly noticed the gap.
