Upon hearing the number Ye Beiping mentioned, Tang Xiaolong's eyes widened in surprise.
He earns a commission of 2,000 yuan for every 1,000 pairs of leather shoes he sells. If he could sell 10,000 pairs a day, wouldn't that be a lot of money?
100,000 pairs, that's 200,000?
hiss!
Those who heard this gasped and stared at Ye Beiping, unable to believe that he had such a big heart.
At this moment, Su Xinyi also realized that, based on the cost price of ten yuan, Tang Xiaolong paid them twenty yuan for the goods, so the price difference was ten yuan.
After deducting the two yuan commission given to Tang Xiaolong, there is a profit of eight yuan.
Based on 10,000 pairs, Tang Xiaolong would receive a commission of 20,000, and Ye Beiping would earn 80,000.
Su Xinyi didn't dare to calculate anymore; it was too terrifying.
No wonder Ye Beiping dared to tell Jiang Hai to be bolder. With this kind of profit, if you don't want to be bold, money will push you to the edge.
After his initial shock, Tang Xiaolong completely believed Ye Beiping's words and nodded vigorously.
“Brother Beiping, I want to make money. Just tell me what I should do. I can do it right away.”
"Uh-huh."
Ye Beiping wanted Tang Xiaolong's courageous and forward-looking nature. To build an empire, one needed someone like him, not someone as hesitant and cautious as Jiang Hai.
"I hope you can cultivate a few people you trust, or find people who are willing to pay for goods in advance, and let them go to other cities to develop."
"This..." Tang Xiaolong was instantly caught in a dilemma.
A person you trust?
To be honest, when it comes to people he trusts when it comes to fighting, he can name dozens or even hundreds.
When it comes to money, Tang Xiaolong isn't stupid. He quickly went through a list of names in his mind, but none of them seemed quite trustworthy.
As for paying for the goods in advance?
That's utter nonsense. If he had such wealthy people around him, he wouldn't be in such a bad situation.
He was able to recruit thirty people because he spent a lot of time and money to get them to work so hard today.
When he was setting up his own stall, two of the people who followed him left because they couldn't stand seeing that he wasn't making any money and went to work for others.
Seeing Tang Xiaolong's dilemma, Ye Beiping didn't say anything, but comforted him, "Xiaolong, you need to know that making a living in this industry depends on courage. If you can share some of your two yuan with others, wouldn't they be more willing to work hard for you?"
"Huh?" Tang Xiaolong looked reluctant when he heard that he had to share his proposal.
Ye Beiping had anticipated this situation, but he still continued to do ideological work.
"Tang Xiaolong, be more open-minded. If you're willing to share your 50 cents commission per pair with someone else so they can help you expand into other markets, you might lose 50 cents in commission on the surface, but you won't lose out if the volume increases."
"A person's energy is ultimately limited. For example, why did I look for you and Jiang He? Why was I willing to give up my profit of two yuan per pair of leather shoes? On the surface, it seems like I'm making two yuan less, and I'm making two thousand yuan less from a thousand pairs of leather shoes. But you have to know that we've never sold a thousand pairs of leather shoes in half a day before when we were setting up our stall. You set this record."
“I sell them for 25 yuan each. After deducting the cost price to them and your commission, I earn 7 yuan less per pair of shoes. For a thousand pairs, I earn 7,000 yuan less. I’m willing to give that up. What are you unwilling to give up?”
At that moment, Tang Xiaolong suddenly understood.
Yes, Ye Beiping is willing to earn seven yuan less per pair of leather shoes, so why can't he earn fifty cents less per pair of leather shoes?
Once a new market is opened up, sales will definitely increase.
But he still hesitated and stammered, "Brother Beiping, I understand what you mean, but I don't have anyone I can trust."
His voice grew softer and softer, the last three words barely audible.
But Ye Beiping heard this and smiled, saying, "You don't have any? No... you do."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaolong looked at Ye Beiping in disbelief.
Su Xinyi and Ye Xiaoxin also blinked and looked at Ye Beiping.
I don't understand why Tang Xiaolong himself said he didn't have anyone, but Ye Beiping was so sure that he had someone he trusted.
Seeing that no one understood, Ye Beiping stopped cryptic.
"If you have guts, then people you can trust will naturally follow. When you were just hanging around on the streets all day, did those famous thugs have people they could trust when they started out? They all had to find people they could trust. Every time you find someone you can trust, it's a gamble. If you win, they're someone you can trust. If you lose, you might lose money or even your life."
"Don't think that those people rely on luck; more often than not, they rely on cunning and audacity."
This left everyone completely confused. How did doing business have anything to do with gangsters?
Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, Ye Beiping had no choice but to explain in even more detail.
"Actually, the bold thing is that you're willing to take a batch of goods to test them. If one doesn't work, then take ten. A hundred pairs of leather shoes is only worth two thousand yuan. You've already made two thousand yuan in half a day. Are you afraid of losing a hundred pairs of leather shoes? Strictly speaking, if you lose a hundred pairs of leather shoes, you'll only lose eighteen hundred yuan."
If Tang Xiaolong still doesn't understand after I've explained it so clearly, he's a pig.
But I'm still conflicted, because that's 1,800 yuan.
Ye Beiping seemed to have seen through Tang Xiaolong's thoughts and sneered.
"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy. If you've figured it out, you don't need to tell me. Just go and pick up the goods."
