He Wenlin personally visited the regional vice presidents and department heads of the two best-performing stores.
The vice president and supervisor each receive a 2% commission. If the store can provide a prominent display in the main aisle, He Wenlin will increase the commission to 10%.
However, the deputy general manager's approval isn't enough for the main passageway location outside the department; the store manager's consent is required.
As for how they divide that 10%, that's up to them.
The other stores were doing so-so, it was just Li Shulin who was running around, anyway, the conditions he offered were all the same.
The saying "money makes the world go round" is absolutely true.
Soon, all these stores were about to place orders, but none of them were given a location in the main aisle; instead, they were given the best location within the department.
He Wenlin also knew that all the manufacturers were eyeing the stores with good business, so it wasn't surprising that it wasn't her turn.
She wasn't in a hurry; now that the goods were in the supermarket, it was a big step towards success.
If you want more support from the stores, then take it slow.
These seven stores delivered goods for the first time, totaling 500 boxes of five-pound peach shortbread, 150 boxes of two-and-a-half-pound peach shortbread, 400 boxes of egg rolls, and 15 boxes of fried dough twists, with a total delivery amount of 21,000 yuan.
Now that we've signed a contract with a supply and marketing cooperative, the production of peach shortbread is barely keeping up, but the production of egg rolls is a bit behind.
So He Wenlin rented another house outside the factory to serve as an employee canteen.
They converted the canteen in the original second-floor shed into an egg roll processing room, bought twenty egg roll machines, and hired ten temporary workers in the village.
The food factory's business is booming, and the fast food restaurant's business is also very stable. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, He Wenlin told Li Shulin to focus on a few key clients. The matter of finding new clients can be dealt with after the New Year. Right now, securing the business of a few good stores is more important than anything else.
Ge Yuliang was a great help in enabling the successful cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative supermarket.
Without his introduction, I definitely wouldn't have had a chance to talk to Xing Feng.
Now that the goods have been successfully distributed, He Wenlin called Ge Yuliang again to invite him to dinner.
“Sister, you’re too kind. Actually, I didn’t help you much. It was all thanks to your own abilities,” Ge Yuliang said. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to sell that batch of goods so quickly.”
Now all the beverages in Ge Yuliang's warehouse have been disposed of. Originally, they were going to be destroyed, resulting in a complete loss of investment. However, He Wenlin's idea allowed him to recover more than 10,000 yuan in costs.
Ge Yuliang declined He Wenlin's invitation, but He Wenlin still sent Ge Yuliang two packs of good cigarettes, which cost He Wenlin more than two thousand yuan.
Ge Yuliang thought He Wenlin was a very generous person, but he also felt that it was wrong for an adult to take advantage of a little girl, so he thought about returning the favor to He Wenlin.
But he didn't know what gift to give in return.
Later, remembering that He Wenlin said she was going to study next semester, I simply bought her two sets each of nebulized workbooks for Chinese, math, and English, as well as a language repeater and English tapes for her to learn English. I also bought a game console for He Wenlin's younger brother.
When He Wenlin received the return gift from Ge Yuliang's assistant, Xiao Zhang, her face turned green.
What's even more infuriating is that Ge Yuliang said he called to ask He Wenlin if she liked it or not.
Who would like this gift?
I traded over two thousand yuan worth of cigarettes for these things, thank you so much!!!
Upon seeing this ninth-grade workbook, Mr. He asked, "Linlin, are you really planning to go to school?"
"Yes, my business will grow bigger and bigger in the future. I can't do without studying. If possible, I would like to study abroad."
It's not that her country is inferior to foreign countries, but He Wenlin simply wants to study abroad and experience it.
When He Wenlin mentioned wanting to study this time, her father didn't utter his old adage that studying is useless.
“If you want to study, then study,” Mr. He said. “Anyway, I’m already familiar with the fast food restaurants around here, it’s basically a food factory…”
The food factory is a big business, and Mr. He is worried that Mrs. He won't be able to handle it.
"Don't worry about that. As long as the salary is high, we can poach management and sales staff from other factories."
Next year, the food factory will definitely need to hire at least three more sales specialists; Li Shulin alone is definitely not enough.
...
Time flies, and it's already January 12th.
It was finally time for Dad He to take his driver's license test.
He's father is going to take his driver's license test, so He Wenlin has to help out at the fast food restaurant.
Back then, getting a driver's license wasn't as complicated as it would be ten or twenty years later; the second, third, and fourth parts of the test were all taken together.
At that time, there weren't many people taking the driving test, and the tests weren't very strict. Mr. He performed very well and passed all the tests on his first try, getting his driver's license that same day.
"We have the license now, Dad. Let's go buy a car tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Aunt He immediately said, "Buy another car? We already have a truck and a motorcycle, why buy another car? You've already said you don't have enough money to build the house, and you still want to buy a car? No way!"
"I'll just buy a used one. I can buy a Mercedes or BMW when I have more money. When I go out to discuss business, I need to take a taxi. If I need to pick up clients, I don't have a car and I have to call a taxi. Our place is so remote, it's not easy to call a taxi. I still need to have a car."
Mr. He is quite attached to cars, so he agreed with He Wenlin's words and chimed in, "Listen to Linlin, buy it!"
He's mother glared at him: "Ha, you make it sound so easy. It costs money, doesn't it? We have so much debt at home."
“Mom, don’t worry about the debt. Our business is doing so well now, the credit union and the bank might even want to lend us more money,” He Wenlin said. “We can just buy a cheap car for getting around. We can’t skimp on that. Mom, you should get your driver’s license next year too. Then, we can each have a car in our family.”
"One car per person? You're really rich." Aunt He sighed. "You earned the money, so buy whatever you want."
Aunt He was anxious about the debt, and she knew that a four-wheeled vehicle was essential.
The next day, as soon as the morning rush hour was over, He Wenlin and her father went to Boss Mo's place in high spirits and spent 22,000 yuan to buy a used minivan.
Although it was just a second-hand van, it still had four wheels. Dad He was so happy to be driving his own car that he couldn't hide his joy.
It's not that He Wenlin doesn't want to buy a better used car, but that she is indeed poor right now.
The more than 400,000 yuan loan was used up to build a house in Caijiang Village and a factory in Hengling.
The food factory seems to be doing well now, but in reality, Wankelai and the supply and marketing supermarkets are all on a monthly payment basis, which means they have to pay a lot of costs upfront.
Fortunately, He Wenlin still has two profitable fast food restaurants, and many small businesses buy goods from her and pay her on the spot; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive.
