Chapter 321 Information Gap is Important

The next day, Su Jiaojiao received a call from Zhang Miaomiao. Zhang Miaomiao said that she had feedback from several old customers that the wholesale price of jeans in Wudaokou was ten yuan, and asked Su Jiaojiao if it was true.

"It's true." Su Jiaojiao told Zhang Miaomiao what had happened in the past few days. "The price dropped again yesterday. Now the shipping price is nine yuan."

"Nine yuan?" Zhang Miaomiao exclaimed, "Why is the price so low?"

"Their costs are low!" Su Jiaojiao had long seen through Changyuan's strategy. They came late, and the merchants in Wudaokou already had a fixed customer base. If they also wholesaled twelve, they would not be competitive in a short period of time.

So they rely on their strong strength to lower prices, and they lower them again and again to compete for market share.

Of course it worked.

Now Ji Zhiqiang and his team are out of business. Although she only gets eight yuan for the goods, she still has to pay for travel expenses, shop rent, labor costs, and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses. If she is only paid nine yuan, it means she is not making any profit.

And she can't keep up with the quantity, which is a big problem.

Wan Zhuo has been preparing for half a year. The goods are available at a low price. No one within a radius of ten miles can compete with him.

"We've lowered our prices, but many of our good customers have gone to your Wudaokou location to get our goods," Zhang Miaomiao complained. "It was the same price last year. Occasionally, there was a sale, and we lowered it to ten yuan, but that didn't affect the market price. With the current market conditions, how can we continue to operate?"

No wonder Su Jiaojiao didn’t ask her to deliver goods anymore. That’s why.

Although Zhang Miaomiao is not a major wholesaler of jeans, this batch of jeans she bought is also held up. Apart from uninformed customers who can get some, the rest of the jeans can only be sold in the store.

Not much can be sold in a day at retail.

If you want to recover funds quickly, you have to rely on wholesale.

"I can't do it anymore. I'm in retail now!" Su Jiaojiao is now worried about the market situation in the electronics factory's staff quarters. In this era, news is not so well-informed. Qili Clothing City is not far from Wudaokou, and Zhang Miaomiao didn't know the news until half a month later.

The electronics factory’s staff quarters are farther away from Wudaokou, so I don’t think they would know about these things so quickly.

What she needs to do now is to take advantage of this time and information gap and quickly wholesale the goods in her hands.

If the people in the electronics factory’s staff quarters knew about this, she would be completely finished.

Thinking of this, Su Jiaojiao immediately called Xue Yuzhen and asked her how many of this batch of jeans were left to be made.

Xue Yuzhen said that they worked overtime day and night to rush the goods and packaged 15,000 finished products. Now there are about 4,000 to 5,000 semi-finished products, and they will be ready for shipment in another half month.

"Please send me those 15,000 pairs of jeans first!" Su Jiaojiao couldn't wait for half a month. The current situation was that time was money. Even if the goods were shipped today, they would still take three or four days on the road. If they were shipped in half a month, she would have to wait about twenty days to receive the goods.

There have been so many changes in these twenty days.

She also knew that Qifa Garment Factory alone could not produce so many goods.

Cai Ting said that Xue Yuzhen mobilized almost all the processing points in the town to help. It can be said that all the clothing processing points in Baota Town were helping to rush this batch of goods.

The main reason is that Baota Town is too far away from Jiao County. Ding Mei, Xue Yan and Chen Juan can't help at all. Just for the washing process, this batch of jeans cannot be separated from Baota Town.

"Okay, then I'll contact Master Yan and see what his schedule is." Xue Yuzhen agreed. "Master Yan will contact you about the exact time of shipment."

"Thank you, Director Xue, you have worked hard." Su Jiaojiao was glad to meet such a great manufacturer like Xue Yuzhen. They were all truly hardworking and capable people in the clothing industry.

"Miss Su, you're too polite." Xue Yuzhen smiled, "We're here to make money too!"

I have to say that Master Yan is still very powerful.

When he heard that the goods were to be delivered to Su Jiaojiao, he immediately adjusted the delivery time without saying a word, postponed the orders that were not so urgent, and arranged expedited delivery for Su Jiaojiao.

He drove the truck to the door of the packaging workshop early, and after they finished loading the goods, he immediately rushed to the next loading location and set off before dawn.

Three days later, Su Jiaojiao and Ding Linyu received 15,000 pairs of jeans at the electronics factory staff quarters.

This speed was quite impressive, and Su Jiaojiao was very touched. She had already prepared large and small bags of food, fruits, milk and beer, and stuffed them into his truck after unloading. Master Yan even said it was a waste of money: "You don't have to do this every time. I feel embarrassed."

"Thank you so much this time. I'll have to trouble you again in the future!" This time, Su Jiaojiao didn't have time to treat him to a meal. She paid for the car fare and booked a room in the hotel for him to rest.

The two men worked until dark, finally sorting the goods by number and putting them into the warehouse.

Su Jiaojiao didn't expect that she could come back here. The room upstairs had been cleared out long ago, without even a quilt.

It was now early April and the weather had turned warmer, so the room was not cold. The two had come in a hurry and brought nothing with them, so they just rested in their clothes for a few hours, waiting for daybreak to go down and ship the goods.

Su Jiaojiao originally wanted to stay in a hotel with Ding Linyu, but there was no room for all the goods. This place was different from Wudaokou, the security was very poor, and if someone broke into the warehouse in the middle of the night, the loss would be huge.

Ding Linyu is a hard-working person. She also knows the current situation and has no complaints. Instead, she says that having a mattress is great.

If Su Jiaojiao can live in such an environment, then of course she can too.

Ding Linyu lived here for a while before the New Year and is not unfamiliar with the surrounding environment. Although she looks weak, she is actually strong and resilient at heart. She and Cai Ting have different personalities, one quiet and the other active, but they both work very seriously.

The two of them quietly shipped the goods at the Electronic Family Compound for more than 20 days. It was not until the second batch of goods arrived that Su Jiaojiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In another half a month, these more than 5,000 pairs of jeans could be wholesaled.

As long as she can ship out this batch of goods, she will be lucky enough to succeed.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, everyone is starting to prepare for summer wear. The reason why jeans are still selling well is because the market sales are good. Even in summer, many young people are willing to wear jeans. There is a reason why jeans are so popular.

It was only after May Day that an old customer gave me feedback, saying that the jeans shipped from Wudaokou were only 8.5 yuan, and that many people were going to Wudaokou to buy goods.

"Eight dollars and a half? Impossible?" Su Jiaojiao was surprised. "We can't even get it. Is the quality different?"

She was surprised that Changyuan had lowered the price again, by another fifty cents.

They really went crazy killing...

"It's true, the quality is about the same," the customer assured. "I'm just reminding you that this kind of stuff is only nine yuan at Qili. Your price is too high."

Almost overnight, all the retailers in the Electronic Family Compound knew about the price reduction of jeans.

Except for Su Jiaojiao, other merchants also don’t know the reason for the price reduction in Wudaokou. They all say that the market this year is not as good as last year and business is getting worse and worse.

The time information gap was gone, and Su Jiaojiao could no longer ship the goods at the electronics factory's staff quarters. She and Ding Linyu counted the inventory and found that there were less than 6,000 pairs of jeans left.

"Jingjiao, we've already made back our investment, and the remaining jeans are all our profits." Ding Linyu showed the account book to Su Jingjiao. "We can sell this batch of goods for 8.5 yuan at the Wudaokou Wholesale Market."

"No, we can't do this." Su Jiaojiao looked at the account book. "The merchants in Wudaokou already hate Changyuan. If we also ship out at this price, they will hate us too."

Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing his parents.

She wouldn't do such a thing.

"Then what should we do?" Ding Linyu asked. The two of them had been busy for more than a month and had lost weight. She was fine, so she brought her bedding over and ate and lived here.

Su Jiaojiao runs back and forth, and comes here when she has no classes. It’s really not easy to make money!

"Since our capital has been recovered, let's go back to Wudaokou and sell the goods slowly!" Su Jiaojiao immediately contacted a truck and found two loaders to deliver the inventory to Wudaokou.

Although retail sales are slow, they will always sell out.

It is impossible for her to encounter all good things. The information gap in the past month is already very lucky.

When the goods for her order arrive next month, she will have completely escaped this competitive circle.

She knew that Changyuan’s next hit would be short-sleeved shirts, so as long as she didn’t touch short-sleeved shirts, she could avoid competition.

This incident also reminded Su Jiaojiao that she had to find a way to find a processing factory in the imperial capital to place orders. Mocheng was too far away and too inconvenient.
