Chapter 217 Setting up a stall
This batch of goods contains a total of 3,000 pieces of clothing.
The three decided to conduct the inspection separately, with each person checking one thousand pieces. This would not only improve efficiency, but also ensure that every piece of clothing was carefully checked.
The standard for this cooperation is that the authenticity rate must reach more than 98%.
In other words, out of these 3,000 garments, at least 2,940 must be qualified products.
Although they have a good relationship with Zhong Huijie privately, this is the first time the two parties have cooperated. In order to make things go more smoothly in the future, this inspection work must be taken strictly and seriously.
Once the factory fails to produce the standard quantity of clothing, we will have to reconsider whether to continue the cooperation.
After four hours, the three people's inspection work was basically completed.
Indeed, they also found some substandard products with minor flaws.
However, the total number of defective items was only about thirty, which was within an acceptable range.
If the number of defective products exceeds sixty, it reaches the minimum requirement and they can clearly ask the other party to reprocess the products.
Fortunately, the defect rate this time was within the standard. Overall, the first step of the cooperation was successfully completed.
Any unsold items that do not exceed 60 pieces are considered normal losses, and they need to find ways to dispose of these unsold products on their own.
According to the terms of the contract, Chen Yan settled the remaining 70% of the payment to Zhong Huijie.
After calculation, the total amount is 11,550 yuan.
Fortunately, just yesterday, Cao Yangfei provided them with 48,000 yuan in working capital for the payment of goods, and Chen Yan also received half of the share, totaling 24,000 yuan.
She first took out 5,000 yuan from the money and gave it to Zhu Jingchen as funds for the next batch of purchases, and then took out another 1,000 yuan and gave it to Cao Yangfei as a kickback.
Shen Yan kept the remaining 18,000 yuan as her working capital and daily expenses.
It is worth mentioning that the deposit for the previous batch of orders for denim tops was paid in advance by Song Xiaomei.
At that time, she had made it clear that she would temporarily advance the deposit, and everyone would settle the accounts together after the clothes were sold.
Therefore, it was natural for her to pay the 11,550 yuan this time.
According to industry practice, Zhong Huijie is obligated to deliver these 3,000 pieces of goods to the designated warehouse in Shanghai at one time and complete the delivery task.
However, the scope of transportation is limited to one-time door-to-door delivery and does not include subsequent transportation support.
If there are subsequent business transactions that require delivery, the buyer must arrange the logistics and transportation matters on his own.
In response to this situation, Shen Yan had already discussed it carefully with Cao Yangfei and He Xinci in advance, and they decided to transport this batch of 3,000 pieces of goods back to He Xinci's home first.
This not only reduces the transit links, but also saves storage costs.
In the next few days, they will divide the work and work together to sell the goods as quickly as possible.
So, the truck loaded with goods started rumbling, and the wheels rolled towards He Xinzhi's house.
Shen Yan and Song Xiaomei also went there by car to ensure that the goods could be delivered accurately and safely stored.
At the same time, Cao Yangfei had called a motorized tricycle and loaded the 400 pairs of jeans onto it, preparing to transport the goods back to his home for storage.
In a short while, He Xinci's house was filled with a large amount of goods, and there was almost no place to step inside.
Fortunately, He Xinci and Cao Yangfei both lived on the first floor, He Xinci lived in the main house and Cao Yangfei lived in the side room next door, which greatly saved effort and energy when moving goods.
If they lived in a building, not only would it be very difficult to carry the goods up and down the stairs, but just imagine such heavy goods pressing on the old floor of the old house, the floor might collapse at any time.
They simply couldn't imagine this scene. It was so frightening that they would probably back down and give up the plan.
So under the current circumstances, the benefits of living on the first floor are obvious: first, you don’t have to climb the stairs to carry goods, saving energy and time; second, you don’t have to worry about the old floor being unable to withstand excessive pressure, which is safer.
Shen Yan had no place to put the goods. There were too many of them. The warehouse was no longer enough, and her own rental house was completely unable to accommodate them.
We can only put the goods here for now. Although it is a temporary solution, we have to make do with it.
Although Zhu Jingchen also has space, his house has a storage room, which is indeed quite spacious, but it is still someone else's residence after all.
We are all friends, and it is inappropriate to rashly pile up a large amount of goods in someone else's home.
Moreover, Zhu Jingchen has no direct interest in this matter. To put it bluntly, he is just a temporary partner.
Shen Yan and Song Xiaomei were too embarrassed to ask for others to bear this burden for free.
And if the other party is unwilling, it will hurt the relationship.
If it is placed at Song Xiaomei's house, it will be even more inconvenient. Her house is on a high floor and she has to climb the stairs. Not only is it troublesome to transport it, but the efficiency of carrying it is also too low.
Obviously, this is not very realistic.
As for Cao Yangfei, he is not only directly related to this incident, but is also one of the main participants.
More importantly, he lives on the first floor.
Placing it at his house makes it most convenient to move in and out, saving the trouble of moving goods and the cost of storage and transportation.
Taking all factors into consideration, it would be a perfect fit for his home.
They first reserved 400 pairs of jeans for He Xinci, and asked her to arrange for embroidery processing.
This was a plan that had been agreed upon in advance. He Xinci was responsible for the processing and then put the products on the shelves for sale.
The next step is the first batch of shipments. They plan to first deliver 1,000 denim tops to set up a stall on Liulin Road for trial sales.
The quantity is controlled appropriately, so that there is not too much inventory left and a stable supply can be guaranteed.
They arrived at the stall at around 1:30 p.m.
The sunlight was still a little dazzling, and the number of people on the street gradually increased. It was a good time to set up a stall.
If we just sell 3,000 denim jackets one by one on the street stalls, it would probably take several days to sell out.
After all, the daily customer flow is limited, and sales will not be particularly high.
But fortunately, the retail price is also high, 33 yuan per piece, so the gross profit is still considerable.
As for the wholesale price, they had held a meeting before, discussed it in detail and made a decision: starting with a minimum order of 50 pieces.
For orders between 50 and 500 pieces, the unit price is set at 12.2 yuan; if the order quantity is between 500 and 1,000 pieces, the price will drop to 11.9 yuan; if it is a large order of more than 1,000 pieces, the price will be further reduced to 11.5 yuan, which can also attract large customers to place bulk orders.
Chen Yan and Song Xiaomei were responsible for handling the retail business in front of the stall.
One of them greets customers while the other organizes the shelves. They cooperate very well and can handle the situation well.
Cao Yangfei had other plans.
