Chapter 444: Pricing of Snacks
Lin Xiaoxia looked at the nervous Ju Huiyan and smiled: "It's okay, you are so outstanding. To be honest, if Dong Mingliang can marry you, it will be a blessing for him."
"Really?" Ju Huiyan still looked worried.
"Really, you are very outstanding in my eyes. Didn't I tell you before that after two years, when everything is stable, we can consider opening a garment factory?" Lin Xiaoxia said again.
Ju Huiyan was shocked by Lin Xiaoxia's words: "Open a factory?"
Lin Xiaoxia nodded: "Well, our styles have always been leading the trend. I think it should be possible to hire two more designers when the time comes."
"Xiao Xia, if someone else said this, I wouldn't believe it, but since you said it, I really mean it. I'll follow you from now on."
"Don't worry, I'm going to school to find talents. You should take good care of your apprentices. When we open the factory, they will be able to take our place."
"Okay, then I have to work harder. I've actually thought about this, but I'm not that strong. But with you, it's different."
"Don't worry, we can definitely succeed in whatever we want to do, but now is not the right time. You should pursue your love first. It's also good to put family first and career second."
"Well, I'm a little more confident now. I'll try him first. Please keep this a secret for me."
"clear."
After saying this, Lin Xiaoxia gave the drawing to Ju Huiyan, and the two went back to the house to talk.
In the afternoon, Lu Jingshen received a call from Professor Xu at work. He made his attitude clear: Xu Xinran must be transferred, and they should live their own lives in the future. He didn't want his life to be affected by her.
Professor Xu used his identity to ask Lu Jingshen for help to wait for a few more days. He had to arrange a receiving unit for Xu Xinran and let Xu Xinran go back, otherwise it would affect Xu Xinran's internship and future.
Lu Jingshen understood this. It was indeed very troublesome to return it directly without a receiving unit. Professor Xu had spoken up, so he regarded it as repaying the favor Professor Xu had taken care of him in the past. He asked Professor Xu to handle it quickly and gave him a week.
After Professor Xu put down the phone, he regretted calling Lu Jingshen. He should have called Lin Xiaoxia. After all, for Lu Jingshen's face, he couldn't say anything too harsh. But he had already called Lu Jingshen, so it would not be a good idea to call Lin Xiaoxia now.
After thinking about it, he called Xu Xinran again and asked her to be quiet for a few days. He would delay for a few days to let Lu Jingshen cool down. Then he would come and explain to Lu Jingshen and Lin Xiaoxia in person, and try to keep him, so that Xu Xinran's resume would look bad.
Xu Xinran felt more at ease after hearing her father's words.
In the evening, Lu Jingshen came back and told Lin Xiaoxia about Professor Xu's phone call. Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen still had the same opinion, that is, Xu Xinran must be transferred, and there should be no contact before she leaves.
The next day, Lu Jingshen went to work during the day, and Lin Xiaoxia went back to Shiqiao Township to get samples of snacks.
When she got home, Lu Lin was also there, and the snacks were all packed.
After seeing it, Lin Xiaoxia thought it was very beautiful. The bag was designed by her. It is simple and clean. There are independent small packages inside the big package, which makes it easy to store and not easily crushed.
The snacks are usually packed in bags, and each bag contains one type of snack. Since prices have risen recently, the cost price of a snack is 20 cents, and the wholesale price is set at 40 cents. The food still needs to ensure a profit of half.
The Beijing Eight Pieces look even more beautiful when placed in a box. One variety costs two yuan, and they are all packaged in independent small boxes, for a total of sixteen yuan. The large gift box is three-dimensional with a handle, and is very exquisite. The wholesale price of one box is nine yuan, and the cost is only four yuan and twenty cents. Because it is a gift box, it is normal to earn a little more.
Bulk wholesale materials have become cheaper, but with the addition of labor and machinery costs, the average price is about the same as before. It's just that prices have risen rapidly in the past two years, so food prices will also rise with them. This is an inevitable trend.
Li Shaofen looked at these and sighed: "I think this is all good. After we open, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. I guarantee that sales will be good then."
Lin Xiaoxia's eyes lit up when she thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival: "Mom, I'll teach you how to make Cantonese and Beijing-style mooncakes. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we'll try to use mooncakes to promote dim sum and expand our family's brand."
Li Shaofen and Lu Lin had no objection at all and followed Lin Xiaoxia to do it.
Lin Xiaoxia called Lu Jingshen and told him that she would not be back at noon and asked him to eat by himself.
By the afternoon, several types of mooncakes were finally made. Lin Xiaoxia said that she would send back some mooncake boxes at the weekend. This time, she would bring back snacks and mooncakes in plastic bags to sell.
Li Shaofen and Lu Lin saw Lin Xiaoxia off in the car. As they watched the car disappear at the end of the alley, the mother and daughter felt various emotions.
Talking about how lucky I am to have such a daughter-in-law and sister-in-law at home, I must treat her well in the future.
Lin Xiaoxia didn’t know all this, but in her heart, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were the same as her own mother and sister.
After returning to the city, Lin Xiaoxia took the samples and started going to shopping malls. She had greeted many of them before, so today she just had to bring the samples with her. In department stores and several shopping malls, as long as the items were suitable, they could make a deal.
Speaking of which, Lin Xiaoxia now has some reputation in the business circle of Lingyuan City, so it is easy for her to do anything now.
The demand for the places we visited in the afternoon was determined. We would try selling a small amount first and then increase or decrease the amount as appropriate.
After these were discussed, Lu Jingshen was about to get off work. She did not go home, but went directly to the door of Lu Jingshen's workplace to wait for him, and then went to her eldest brother Lin Xiao's house to talk to them about opening a specialty store. This was because Lin Xiaoxia wanted to open it earlier so that there would be more flexibility. For example, some small stores stocked their own goods, so she could go directly to them and make money by selling them in retail. If her eldest brother was willing to do it, she would let them do it.
When they arrived at Lin Xiao's house, Lin Xiao and his wife had just returned and hadn't cooked yet, so the four of them went straight out to eat at the restaurant, talking about this while eating. After the meal, Lin Xiaoxia didn't miss her class.
Arriving at the restaurant, after ordering their dishes, the four of them sat down. Lin Xiaoxia mentioned her purpose: "Brother and sister-in-law, there's an opportunity to open a restaurant now. Do you want to try it?"
Wang Lijuan smiled and said, "For the time being, I'm not planning on doing business. I just want to take care of my health and have a child first. I owe your eldest brother and your family too much. If I open a shop and focus on my career first, I might have to put off having a child. I don't want to wait any longer. Thank you, Xiaoxia. Don't worry, I was narrow-minded before, but I won't think so much in the future, and I won't compare myself with others."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled after hearing what Wang Lijuan said: "Sister-in-law, you have really changed. In this case, I will do it myself this time. When you have a baby in the future, if you want to do it, there will be plenty of opportunities. If you don't do this, there are other ways. Don't worry, if you want to do it, I will always have a way for you."
Wang Lijuan smiled and nodded, "Well, when I want to make money, I promise not to be polite to you, Xiaoxia, Jingshen, thank you so much."
Lin Xiao also said to them: "I'm sorry to have made you worry about us."
Lu Jingshen looked at the two of them and smiled: "We are all family, so it's okay to say this. Anyway, brother and sister-in-law can just talk if they have something to say."
Lin Xiao said: "Well, I'm not polite to you. If it weren't for you, your sister-in-law and I wouldn't be where we are today."
