Ye Beiping smiled faintly and explained, "Of course, we'll find someone else to help us sell them."
"Others?" Jiang Hai frowned, then immediately realized what he meant and said, "Beiping, you mean we sell the goods to others cheaply, and then those others resell them?"
"This is the one..."
Suddenly, Jiang Hai couldn't remember what the term was. He had heard similar words before when he was smuggling, but he never thought that leather shoes could be handled in this way.
Ye Beiping nodded slowly and said, "That's right, it's distribution. We can use our current advantages to vigorously develop our downstream network. In the future, not only in Hangzhou, but even all over the country, we will have downstream networks selling our products."
"Not only that, with these people, we can also sell other things later, that's the sales channel."
hiss!
Jiang Hai gasped, thinking that it was indeed possible to do so, and that the potential for growth on a large scale was unimaginable.
Although Jiang He didn't quite understand, judging from Jiang Hai's expression, he seemed quite impressive.
At the same time.
In the office of the sales director of Jiangnan Leather Factory, the young man who had just run back from the state-run hotel was reporting to Li Peiqiang what he had seen.
"Director Li, I saw that Mr. Ye from before has returned and is currently in the hotel."
"You're back?" Li Peiqiang stood up in surprise, frowning. "You're back after only three days? Did something happen?"
The young man shook his head and analyzed, "They seem quite happy; they don't look like anything has happened."
Li Peiqiang frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number of Wei Daming from Wencheng No. 1 Leather Shoe Factory.
Beep beep!
After the call connected, Li Peiqiang immediately said, "Hello, is this Wei Daming?"
"Yes." Wei Daming's cheerful voice came from the phone, sounding very happy.
Li Peiqiang had no time to deal with Wei Daming, and instead quickly asked, "Have you heard the news that Mr. Ye has returned?"
If he could arrange for someone to keep an eye on Jiang Hai at the state-run hotel, then Wei Daming must have arranged for someone as well.
Although a thousand pairs of leather shoes from two state-owned factories isn't a lot of money, it still represents the wages of many of their employees, so it's necessary to assign someone to keep an eye on it.
Unexpectedly, Wei Daming chuckled on the phone and said, "Oh, it's Director Li. I heard about it. I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be back so quickly. It means our leather shoe sales are very promising. I was planning to report this to our factory manager to see if we could increase the quantity a bit more."
"What?" Li Peiqiang didn't expect Wei Daming to want to increase the amount.
And does Wei Daming mean that Ye Beiping had already sold the goods before returning? Is that possible?
Those were a thousand pairs of leather shoes, and they sold out in just three days?
Li Peiqiang was shocked by the speed of the sales.
What does it mean to produce 1,000 pairs of leather shoes in three days?
A state-owned department store might not be able to sell ten pairs of leather shoes a day. If it weren't for special occasions, it would take a state-owned department store at least a hundred days to sell a thousand pairs of leather shoes.
Unexpectedly, Ye Beiping's company sold out in just three days.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, he needs to report this to the factory manager.
Now that Wencheng No. 1 Leather Shoe Factory is preparing to increase its orders significantly, Jiangnan Leather Factory must also take corresponding measures. They cannot allow Wencheng No. 1 Leather Shoe Factory to gain the upper hand in this large order.
No matter what Wei Daming said on the phone, Li Peiqiang immediately hung up and ran towards the factory director's office.
It's almost time to leave work.
Fortunately, Li Peiqiang ran fast and managed to catch Hou Jun, the director of Jiangnan Leather Factory, at the office door.
"Director Li, what's the rush?" Hou Jun was somewhat annoyed by Li Peiqiang's panting appearance, especially since it was almost time to leave work, and meeting this person would probably prevent him from leaving on time.
Yawn! Yawn! Yawn!
"I've been sneezing a lot these past few days, and I don't know why," Hou Jun complained, his face flushed and neck red.
After catching his breath, Li Peiqiang said, "Factory manager, Mr. Ye is back."
"Mr. Ye? Which Mr. Ye?" Hou Jun had never met Ye Beiping directly, but he had heard Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming mention the name.
However, when he saw Li Peiqiang, he remembered the goods that had been shipped out a few days ago and asked, "Never mind Mr. Ye for now, how's the leather shoes that were shipped out a few days ago? Have you received any reply from them?"
With the Jiangnan Leather Factory facing a turbulent period and currently in dire need of funds, Hou Jun couldn't help but take this matter to heart.
Li Peiqiang pursed his lips, but still reported truthfully: "Yes, Mr. Ye is back. The person we arranged to keep an eye on him at the state-run hotel just came back and told me that he is back."
Hou Jun then realized who this Mr. Ye was.
Once he figured out the key point, his eyes lit up and he immediately pulled Li Peiqiang into the factory manager's office, asking in a low voice, "Are you sure he's back? Has all the goods over there been sold?"
Li Peiqiang's lips twitched. How come Hou Jun and Wei Daming thought the same thing: the other party sold the goods, instead of encountering difficulties and failing to sell them?
"Factory manager, we don't know about this matter yet, but I heard from Wei Daming that he believes Mr. Ye sold the goods and is planning to apply to Factory Manager Chen for an increase in the quantity of goods."
He paused, then cautiously looked at Hou Jun and asked, "Shouldn't we follow suit and increase the quantity?"
Upon hearing this, Hou Jun frowned and pondered for a moment before making a decision: "If the First Leather Shoe Factory can afford to play this game, then our Jiangnan Leather Factory certainly can't afford to. Director Li, you should go find Mr. Ye now and find out the situation. If we can recover the previous payment, we are willing to give him 10,000 pairs of leather shoes in one lump sum."
