Five boxes of mooncakes sold for forty yuan, and Secretary Guo and Bai Hongjun rode their bicycles with light steps.
He wasn't really sure, and he hadn't expected the mooncakes to make money.
They're still selling so many!
"Secretary, those people won't come looking for a refund, will they?" He was very guilty.
People in state-owned factories only earn thirty-four yuan a month, yet they dare to charge ten yuan for a box of mooncakes. He even thinks the police might come and arrest him.
Qiao Wanyue explained, "We worked on it for a week. The aunties in our village worked for seven days straight, without sleep, to make the mooncakes. The shapes and outer packaging were all meticulously crafted."
"We lost eight dollars."
If it weren't for the need to open up the market, she would have asked for fifteen.
Considering the current average price per person, we will set the purchase price at eight yuan per box.
The purchase price of goods in department stores cannot exceed ten yuan.
Xiahe Village supplies goods to department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives throughout the county, and there cannot be a situation where one place offers higher prices than another.
Prices must be standardized.
Next, they went to the department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives in the county town, delivering to five places in total. The biggest order came from the largest department store in the county town, which ordered forty gift boxes.
After delivering the goods, they didn't leave but waited in the department store to see how the sales were going.
Qiao Wanyue prepared the ingredients in bulk in advance, cut a plate of each, and gave them away to the department store free of charge so that the customers could try them.
At first, customers weren't interested. Who would be foolish enough to buy a gift box for ten yuan? But after tasting the mooncakes, their eyes lit up. However, it would be a waste to buy something meant for gifting and eat it themselves.
The department store manager was a flexible person. He immediately opened four boxes and sold each mooncake for one dollar, and also gave away a handmade flower.
I wouldn't even look at a ten-yuan gift box, but I'd rather try a one-yuan mooncake to see what it tastes like.
In no time, all the opened boxes were sold out.
Even the paper-cuttings and packaging boxes were bought for one yuan.
We also sold about ten gift boxes.
When the manager turned around and saw Secretary Guo, it was as if he had seen a god of wealth.
He grabbed Secretary Guo's hand and said, "Secretary, are there any more gift boxes? I'll take them all."
Secretary Guo twitched the corner of his mouth.
"No."
Bai Hongjun continued, "We only made a hundred, but don't worry, we can make another batch in three days, though I don't know if we'll be able to..."
"Yes, I'll take fifty more."
Secretary Guo's smile was practically reaching his ears.
"Okay, I'll deliver the goods in three days."
Secretary Guo smiled politely and said, "We'll be leaving now. We wish you a prosperous business."
The three left.
The manager watched the three figures disappear into the distance and scratched his head.
Isn't he being too impulsive? How can these three be so calm!
As soon as they left the mall, Secretary Guo almost screamed, "We really made money!"
"Secretary, where did your composure go?" Qiao Wanyue said with a smile.
“That was just for show, now we can develop our own small workshops,” Secretary Guo began to plan.
There are now seven or eight people who know how to make mooncakes. In half a month, it will be time to harvest corn, and the whole village will be busy with farming. Grain is a major issue, but mooncakes cannot be neglected either.
“Wanyue, I’m thinking of getting all the skilled women in the village involved. As for the gift boxes, could we talk to a cardboard box factory about a collaboration?”
If they were to operate in a planned manner, cardboard boxes would definitely be a big problem. A hundred cardboard boxes would require a dozen women working day and night to make them. If they did it like that, the cost would be too high.
Qiao Wanyue also had this idea.
But they didn't know anyone at the cardboard box factory.
