Chapter 150 Situation
When getting off the car, Meng Changli saw her sister holding cigarettes and wine. She also asked how Gu Hansong's things ended up in her hands.
Meng Shulan explained that Gu Hansong didn't smoke or drink, so there was no need for it, so she gave it to her.
Meng Shulan had originally thought of further explanations for giving away such good things as cigarettes and alcohol to people at will, for example, Gu Hansong wanted to thank them for taking care of Grandma Wu and Xiao Yue'er during this period of time.
In the end, Meng Changli didn't ask any more questions and just said "Oh".
Gu Hansong's bicycle was still at the workshop, and Cheng Shenyuan was there too. After getting off the bike, the four of them didn't go anywhere else, but went to the store first.
The Meng sisters planned to take half a month for this trip, but it actually only took thirteen days, so they returned early.
When she left, Meng Changli arranged everything she could in the store, and explained all the related matters to Shen Chengyuan in detail.
With He Jinqiu watching over it for two weeks, nothing should go wrong.
I just don’t know how Shen Chengyuan’s wholesale work is going.
In order to cope with the pressure of the supply leakage, Shen Chengyuan proposed to start the wholesale plan immediately, and Meng Changli agreed after considering it.
At that time, Meng Changli had a simple idea. She only had one product on hand, so she could give it a try. If it succeeded, that would be great. If it failed, that didn't matter. She could think of a solution when she came back.
When they returned to the store, they saw from afar that the store entrance had changed.
In the past, the store would only set up the stall outside on market days, and it would be closed at other times.
But today, not only is it not a market day, but it is almost dark, but the stalls outside are still set up, filled with goods of all colors, and there are customers choosing goods at the stalls.
This Shen Chengyuan is really working too hard. He really doesn't want to stop for a moment and doesn't want to let go of any customer.
In fact, there are not many people who go to town except on market days. There are only about a dozen or twenty people from morning to night. Most of them have things to do at home, go to town to see a doctor, or go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy necessities. There is no need to set up stalls and waste manpower.
But when they got closer, they found something was wrong.
The few customers who were selecting goods did not look like ordinary consumers. They either carried large bags or pushed carts, and they wanted a lot.
Shen Chengyuan happened to be at the stall, holding a clothesline and pointing left and right, introducing something to the customers.
There were an old lady and a young man standing next to him, one was helping the customers load goods, and the other was calculating prices with an abacus.
Seeing the situation at the stall, Meng Changli quickened her pace.
She felt that this was the beginning of wholesale.
In the fabric market in South City, the shops are doing business in much the same way, except that their stalls only have samples, and customers have to go to the warehouse to pick up the goods after making their selections.
It seems that Shen Chengyuan has done a very good job in these two weeks.
"Shen Chengyuan."
Meng Changli hadn't arrived yet, but she waved and said hello first.
Cheng Shenyuan looked up and saw that Brother Han and Sister Meng had returned. He was very happy and hurried over to help carry the luggage and welcome everyone back to the courtyard.
He Jinqiu was also in the yard. Seeing her two daughters come back, her eyes were red with joy.
When the two children saw their mother and aunt, they immediately hugged them and the younger one even cried, feeling very aggrieved.
Seeing that the dolls missed her, Meng Changli felt sad and quickly took out the toys and candies she had brought back.
The two kids had everything to play with and eat, so the excitement soon wore off.
When He Jinqiu saw that Gu Hansong and Jiang Jun had come over, he wanted to keep them here for dinner before leaving.
Gu Hansong thought about it and agreed.
He Jinqiu quickly called Meng Shulan, and the two went outside to buy meat and vegetables.
There is definitely no meat for sale in the town at this time, but you can buy it from nearby farmers.
During this period, everyone is slaughtering pigs for the New Year. There is meat everywhere and you can buy any of it by paying a little money.
When the mother and daughter went out, He Jinqiu also asked whether the trip went smoothly and whether they encountered any problems.
Meng Shulan told her mother everything.
Hearing that everything went well and the fabric had been purchased and would arrive in a few days, He Jinqiu breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy.
"Now that you're back and have new materials, there's still a week before the New Year, let your sister make some new goods so we can compete with them..."
He Jinqiu talked about the family business in the past half month.
Shen Chengyuan is a good guy, smart, knowledgeable, and a good businessman.
After he took over, he set up a stall outside on the same day, integrating retail and wholesale, and also hired two young men he was familiar with to help them with the wholesale business.
No one had done this before, but now they were the first to do so, and immediately attracted a lot of people to come and see the goods.
Most of those who came to see the goods had the idea of starting a business. After hearing that the minimum order quantity of ten was low, they quickly took the goods and started setting up stalls in several nearby towns.
In the first few days, because we had a full range of colors, we had an advantage over the Ye family. Those people sold well, and their business was also good.
However, the Ye family soon produced exactly the same goods and started to engage in wholesale like them. The so-called advantage no longer existed, and a price war broke out later on.
The workmanship of their products is better than that of those over there, and they even have special trademarks, so they feel more upscale than those over there.
It's just a small place, and people haven't formed a concept of the brand yet, so they only look at the appearance and price.
Seeing that the Ye family's business was getting better and better, Shen Chengyuan became anxious and gritted his teeth to keep up with the prices there.
So, even though their shipment volumes are still good, their actual profits have already been squeezed beyond recognition.
Over at the workshop, in Meng Changli's office.
Shen Chengyuan took out the account book and explained the current business situation to Meng Changli.
"I'm sorry, Sister Chang Li. I sold a lot of goods, but I didn't make much money. They just looked good, but I didn't do a good job."
Shen Chengyuan felt quite guilty because Sister Chang Li trusted him so much.
Meng Changli: "It's okay. I think you've done a great job. No matter how much you earn in the past half month, at least you have kept the market. This is success. Don't be sad. I'll help you get revenge next."
Meng Changli also started to comfort Shen Chengyuan. She really didn't expect it to turn out like this.
There was pressure from the Ye family. Although Shen Chengyuan was forced to keep up with the prices there, he still made a lot of efforts, such as continuing to expand the market and exchanging speed for price and volume.
Although they didn't make any money on paper after deducting all the costs from all parties after going through so much trouble, their market share has already increased. As long as they can come up with something different, they can immediately turn the situation around.
No wonder Gu Hansong brought Shen Chengyuan with him. This guy seems to be making a lot of noise as if it’s nothing, but he is actually a powerful person.
