Chapter 2384 Trivia

Wan Feng carried one child in his arms and led the other out of the house. After walking thirty meters down, they arrived at You Shuiping's house.

He returned home and stayed there for about ten minutes. When he came out again, there were fewer cars in front of You Shuiping's house. The key point was that the beer truck had finished unloading the beer and had driven to the side of the avenue below and parked.

As soon as the big truck left, the situation in front of You Shuiping's house became much more relaxed.

The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month is the time when the most people buy firecrackers. It was only when he arrived at You Shuiping's house that Wan Feng regretted coming out to buy firecrackers today.

You can come and buy it anytime since it's so close, why join the crowd today?

But it’s impossible to go back now. There are two little ones here. I said I brought them here to buy firecrackers, but now I’m going back without even entering the door?

You don’t have to buy large quantities for now, but you have to buy some firecrackers for your daughter.

You Shuiping has two stores, one of which sells beer. There is a room full of beer unloaded in the room, estimated to be more than 500 boxes. This is what was just unloaded. You Shuiping is calculating the beer fee with the people from the brewery.

An employee was loading beer onto a horse-drawn cart at the door, probably from the small shop downstairs.

In Jiangwei's generation, there were not many people who still used horse-drawn carriages to transport beer, and it was probably not in the Jiangwei Industrial Zone.

"Brother You, do you have any good beer?" Wan Feng asked, stretching his neck.

"Just another dry beer, nothing more."

In 2002, small-packaged beer was still very rare. The most common packaging was large plastic boxes, with 24 bottles in a box.

The main product of Hongya Brewery is the 12.5-degree Hailanghua beer, and the other is the 11-degree white dry beer.

This is pretty much all over the hotel.

"Leave me eighteen boxes."

These beers are not for Wan Feng and his father to drink. They can't drink so much beer during the New Year.

Don’t we have two fathers-in-law? Wan Feng is in charge of the wine and meat every year.

Eighteen boxes of beer, six boxes for each family, basically enough for the New Year.

As a result of Wan Feng's repeated warnings, now during the Spring Festival, apart from the neighbors in Xiaoshutun Village, basically no outsiders come to visit his house.

He hid away in the past few years, but now that no one comes, he doesn't need to hide anymore.

If no one comes, six cases of beer will be enough for him and Laozi to drink.

After ordering the beer, Wan Feng took the prince and princess of the Wan family into the store selling firecrackers.

There were so many people in this store that it was almost shoulder to shoulder.

Against the walls on both sides of the room were stacks of fireworks samples taller than a person. At the innermost part was a counter with firecracker samples and sparklers for children to play with.

This is only the place where small portions are sold. Large portions are sold in the warehouse of the fish pond, which is managed by Yingwu and Xu Meilin.

"Brother Wan is here? Oh! He even brought the little princess out." Yingrong greeted Wan Feng warmly when he saw him.

Wan Chongyang and Wan Yu were no strangers to Yingrong. They lived downstairs from his house, and Wan Chongyang passed by her house every day on his way to school.

When Wanyu and Wanfeng were taken out to play, they would often see You Shuiping and his wife.

"Buy some fireworks for my son and daughter first."

Wan Feng put Wan Yu on the ground: "Daughter, tell Daddy if you want that."

The counter is filled with all kinds of firecrackers, probably dozens of varieties.

The son and daughter leaned on the glass counter to watch the fireworks on the counter.

Wan Feng chatted with Yingrong for a while.

This year, her store became the fireworks sales unit with the largest orders in Hongya, and she ordered 1.2 million worth of goods.

"For so many orders, won't this local company give you some discount? If not, I won't ship from them next year."

"There are discounts, but not much, only a little over 5,000 yuan."

"You didn't want it?"

A discount of 5,000 yuan for goods worth 1.2 million yuan?

Isn’t this just a joke!

Strictly speaking, the profit margin of fireworks is not very high. The profit of fireworks is higher, while the profit of firecrackers is lower.

The total profit is about ten percent.

This thing depends entirely on volume. If there is no volume, there is no point.

For goods worth 1.2 million, the wholesale profit is still low, maybe 7 or 8 percent?

This is a profit of more than 100,000 yuan, and you only gave up 5,000 yuan?

How can the local miscellaneous company have the nerve to give it up?

If I were Wan Feng and you didn't give me 30,000 or 20,000, I would place an order from someone else.

Hongya is not the only one qualified to wholesale firecrackers.

"Your brother-in-law wasted his time. He accepted whatever he was offered. He didn't even tell me when he came back. He only told me about it two days ago. I was so pissed."

"Then you can just place an order next year."

"Of course I'll book it next year. I hope your brother-in-law has a wife and a child."

You Shuiping is honest and you really can't count on him.

"Daughter! Which ones do you and your brother like?" When Yingrong went to greet the guests, Wan Feng asked his son and daughter who had been studying fireworks for a long time.

Little Wanyu was dazzled by the sight, and finally just stretched out his finger and swiped: "I want them all."

"I agree!" Wan Chongyang echoed.

They all have to be good, so you don’t have to choose.

"Sister Ying! One box too."

Oh my god! When Yingrong took out a box from the counter like a firecracker and placed it on the counter, someone was dumbfounded.

There were so many of them that even a big cardboard box couldn’t hold them all. Wan Feng had no confidence in getting this box of fireworks home.

"Let me ask Xiao Liang to send it back to you." Yingrong suggested.

Since someone gave it to him as a gift, Wan Feng simply bought the big fireworks as well.

After viewing the samples of the fireworks, Wan Feng bought fireworks worth 30,000 yuan.
