It could have been sold for fifty yuan, and I made a net profit of thirty yuan.
In this way, it can only be sold for 17 yuan, with a net profit of a little over ten yuan.
This gap is extremely large.
Chu Xuan noticed that her husband was unhappy and patted the back of his hand lightly.
"I just said that if this gentleman doesn't buy it, I will keep it for myself."
After saying that, he looked at the old man and said with a smile, "I'll wrap it for you right away."
Chu Xuan brought a basket, put a clean white cloth on it, and placed the seaweed in it.
After confirming that everything was packed, the old man took out 17 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Chu Xuan, "Count it."
Chu Xuan counted the money quickly, "I need to give you three cents in change..."
The old man waved his hand quickly, "No need to look for it, just call a carriage for me."
"No problem." Chu Xuan was about to ride his bike out when Fu Qing stopped him. "I'll go call them."
Go out on a bike.
Chu Xuan picked up a few pieces of seaweed and handed them to the old man, "There's plenty of seaweed, eat as much as you want."
The old man nodded with great satisfaction, took it, and started eating it with a crunch.
Then she handed a few pieces of seaweed to Mu Chenze and Fu Ping.
Everyone ate seaweed and drank water while waiting for the carriage.
During this time, the old man introduced himself, his surname was Gu Zhiren.
About ten minutes later, Uncle Qi drove over in a carriage and took Gu Zhiren away.
Fu Qing grumbled as he cleaned the yard, "Gu Zhiren's name is hilarious. This old man's personality is just like his name—he's a stubborn person. He only recognizes 5,000 pieces..."
Mu Chenze was also helpless. "If we do business with him again in the future, we must first sign an agreement that specifies the size and even the weight of the seaweed, otherwise he will cheat us."
Chu Xuan smiled. "I don't think he's trying to trick us. I think he's teaching us how to do business with big companies. Let's all go to bed early today. We'll continue working tomorrow."
Fu Qing hesitated to speak.
Chu Xuan guessed what she was going to say.
"Sister-in-law, are you unable to come and help tomorrow because of something?"
It's said in a rather obscure way.
She knew that her sister-in-law wanted to go fishing.
After all, going to the beach to catch seafood makes more money than baking bread at home.
Fu Qing nodded embarrassedly, "Yes. Normally, your business is just starting out, so I should help you out, but..."
Chu Xuan smiled and responded, "Don't worry, sister-in-law! I'll go say hello to Grandma Gao and Aunt Mou later. They'll come over to help tomorrow, so you can just go ahead and get busy."
"That's good."
After finishing the cleaning, Fu Qing gave his sister some instructions before leaving.
Qin Mahua will come to stay with Fu Ping tonight.
Because Mu Chenze and his wife will go to the county town to enroll in cram school soon.
Qin Mahua was planning to discuss with Mu Qinlao about living here permanently in the future so that she could manage the bakery.
After all, Xiaoxuan and his friends not only sell bread but also have to attend cram school.
Fu Qing goes to the beach every day, but he also goes to cram school.
The three younger generations in the family are all ambitious, and Qin Mahua is happy to do it no matter how tired she is.
At this moment, Gu Zhiren had returned to the county guesthouse and was talking to his son on the phone.
"Son, I've sent you 5,000 samples of seaweed. When you receive them, have someone try them. I think the quality and taste are pretty good. Did your people buy seaweed in other coastal cities? Oh, they did. That'll be a good opportunity for comparison..."
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Chenze and his wife successfully registered for a cram school in the county town and could start classes tonight from seven to nine o'clock.
Fu Qing will also come to attend class.
It’s just right that the three of them can keep each other company.
Fortunately, they have bicycles, and it takes about 30 minutes to ride from the county town to the village.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, the three of them returned home.
After a quick wash, everyone went back to their bedrooms.
The day passed like this.
At seven o'clock the next morning, Mu Chenze and his wife got up, had breakfast, and went to the bakery.
One of them rode a tricycle to carry the goods, while the other rode a bicycle, and they headed towards the county town.
Qin Mahua took Lin Ping, Gao Meijuan and Mou Xing home to prepare ingredients for baking bread.
We plan to bake six batches today. Tomorrow, Chenze and Xiaoxuan will go to the city to promote the products and see if they can find a sales outlet.
When they arrived in the county town, Mu Chenze and his wife went to a place where they could set up a stall to sell bread and seaweed.
Before the store opened, I met Gu Zhiren again.
Gu Zhiren bought two seaweed breads for breakfast.
While eating, he said, "Don't you two consider doing it more formally? Only by completing all the business procedures can you do big business, right?"
Chu Xuan said with gratitude, "Thank you for your suggestion. If there really is a big business, our village-run factory will come forward. My bakery is like the development department of the village-run factory. If I release a new product and it sells well, I will put it into production at the factory."
Gu Zhiren swallowed a mouthful of bread and asked, "Do you have shares in the village factory?"
Chu Xuan didn't hide it, "That's right."
Mu Chenze said proudly, "The grilled fish fillets in our village factory were invented by my wife. Without her, there would be no village factory. She invested in the factory with the secret recipe of grilled fish fillets and also participated in the early design and subsequent sales of the village factory..."
When talking about Chu Xuan's deeds, he talked endlessly.
After listening to this, Gu Zhiren gave Chu Xuan a thumbs up and said, "You are very wise! Great! Can you give me some of your grilled fish fillet to try?"
Chu Xuan was very generous. "No problem. There's a sales point for our village factory over there at the train station. It's very close here. I'll go get some now."
Gu Zhiren laughed, "I'll be waiting here."
"good."
Chu Xuan then whispered to Mu Chenze, "Ze, chat with this old man for a while. Maybe we can help sell other fish products from our village."
Mu Chenze always listens to his wife, "No problem."
Chu Xuan rode his bike towards the train station.
Arrived in a short while.
Miao Dacui was in the shop, which was not busy at the moment. When she saw Chu Xuan, she warmly welcomed her in.
"Xiao Xuan, are you just passing by or did you come here specially?"
Chu Xuan smiled brightly, "He came here specially. An old man wanted to try our grilled fish fillets. He might be a big customer; his son owns a trading company."
Miao Dacui was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Great! I'll pack the samples right away. How about one kilogram of each?"
"Let's have half a pound of each! Don't we have fish with bones and without bones? Let's have something for every taste."
"no problem."
The village-run factory has internal management regulations that allow it to provide free samples to customers, as long as the quota does not exceed five kilograms per month.
As a salesperson, Miao Dacui didn't even get one kilogram of her quota this month. It wasn't because she was stingy, but because she didn't find any potential customers.
Now I finally found it.
It was neatly packaged into six bags in total, with the flavor and whether it contained fish bones pre-printed on the bags.
Chu Xuan didn't stay for long and left with the samples.
Not long after he left, Wang Mingchen came to the store.
Miao Dacui excitedly told him that Xiaoxuan might help the factory attract a big customer.
Wang Mingchen was very happy because he knew that Xiaoxuan could take on three people at once.
Once they successfully attract a big client, not only Xiaoxuan will get dividends, but he and his wife will also get them.
"Da Cui, we have to be nicer to Xiao Xuan and Chen Ze from now on. The orders from those big clients they brought in for the factory are increasing every month."
"Need I tell you that? You don't even know. The workers in the county heard that our village factory has good pay, so they all want to use their connections to get in. Fortunately, our factory has a rule that only recruits people with village household registration. Otherwise, the threshold of my father's office would have been trampled down by people."
"Yes. However, today a man with a strong background came to visit our father in person."
"What did they say?"
"My father wouldn't let me listen and insisted on sending me over to look after the shop."
"Can't you pretend to go out and then quietly return?"
"Wouldn't it be the same if we asked our father when we get back?"
"Do you think our father will tell us?"
