Wanfeng’s strategy is to first attract people with cheaper goods, and then force vendors to set up stalls behind the depression.
The clothes sold here are cheaper than those in the market, and the shoes are also cheaper than those in the market. Driven by such interests, people who are greedy for bargains will go to the market behind Wa to buy them, which will form a flow of people. With the flow of people, there is no need to worry about the vendors not coming.
In this way, through word of mouth, it won’t be long before more and more customers and vendors come, and the spread distance will become farther and farther.
Customers and traders from other places will gradually gather here to buy goods in bulk or purchase them.
It is estimated that a wholesale market will be formed in three to five years.
Yiwu began to take shape in 1983, and Xiliu probably saw a few people setting up stalls on the roadside this year.
Generally speaking, it is not too late to start in Wahou. If it is managed properly, I don’t think Wanfeng will be worse than other places.
Wan Feng is already thinking about what he should do once the market is formed.
He planned to move the store of Jiangwei Brigade to Wahou. Even if he couldn't move it, he would persuade the manager of Glass Flower to open a branch in Wahou.
What would a commercial center be without shops?
Now that we have a store, we can find a way to open a snack bar or something, and turn a few vacant rooms in the team headquarters into a hotel, so the hardware conditions will be almost complete.
If customers come from other places, they will have a place to stay.
It’s a pity that it will take another two years for one to open a store on his own, otherwise Wan Feng would have just opened a hotel and all the problems would have been solved.
The vendors smoked the filter cigarettes given to them by Wan Feng, and argued with each other for a long time, all thinking that this was a good idea.
"Xiao Wan! What I don't understand is that it seems like the shoe factory hasn't gained anything from what you've done. It seems like there's no change in sales compared to before, right?"
Wan Feng chuckled: "Indeed, nothing has changed, but there is one more thing behind the depression."
"What's extra?"
Wan Feng just laughed it off and didn't say anything more.
"Okay, the problem is solved now. You can go back and do what you need to do. No one will take care of your meals here."
The vendors left happily.
After the vendors left, Wan Feng went into the shoe factory to see the installation of the first set of equipment.
The crane carefully lifted the machines one by one into the workshop in order. In order to lift the equipment in, the roof was lifted.
After one unit was hoisted in, Zhang Shiqian directed the people at the machinery factory to install it. By noon, the first set of equipment was fully installed.
After lunch, we started installing the second set of equipment in the vacant factory building to the east of the machinery factory.
This set of equipment was unloaded in this yard when the truck was unloaded yesterday.
By the time the equipment was installed, it was already too dark.
Zhang Shiqian spent another day helping to debug the machine. After the debugging was completed, the team settled the bill for Zhang Shiqian and Wan Feng sent him to the station.
Before leaving, Zhang Shiqian said, "I might come again," and got into the car.
Wan Feng also contributed 10,000 yuan to the team's purchase of equipment this time. Therefore, after returning to the village, Wan Feng held a small meeting with Zhang Hai and the accountant and cashier, mainly to discuss the distribution of interests between Wan Feng and the factory.
This thing must be understood now and put into black and white to avoid any trouble in the future.
Wan Feng gave up the dividends from the brick and tile factory, leaving only the machinery factory and the shoe factory.
Almost all the products in the machinery factory are designed by Wan Feng based on original drawings, so he has a licensing fee of 5% of the profit. That is to say, no matter what products the machinery factory sells, 5% of the profit belongs to Wan Feng.
Wanfeng originally owned one-third of the shoe factory's shares, but now Wanfeng has voluntarily given up 20% of it, leaving only 10% of the share.
Zhang Hai added an additional condition: If Wan Feng has any good inventions in the future, he should give priority to Wa Hou if he does not want to make them himself. Only after Wa Hou is sure that he will not make them can he give them to others.
Zhang Hai knew Wan Feng’s value. This guy was born with a monster head and any idea he came up with could be turned into money.
Once these were implemented in the contract, everyone was happy.
The group of shoemakers who were originally supposed to work in two shifts on the old equipment were assigned to the first set of new equipment, while the second set of equipment was temporarily idle because no one was working there.
There is really no one left in Wahou, so the only way to hire people is to recruit from outside.
When Wan Feng walked into the Xiaoshutun Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he suddenly felt as if he had not been here for a long time. Manager Bolihua didn't even recognize him.
"You've been here for a long time, kid. Are you dissatisfied with the lack of local commodities here?"
"Manager Yu, where are you talking about? I came here specifically to see you today."
"Looking for me? What can you come to me for?"
"Manager Yu, how about moving the supply and marketing cooperative to our Wahou? I'm serious."
"Nonsense, how can this thing be moved?"
"Why can't we just move? We provide the house, and you just move the goods in! It's such a simple thing."
"Go, go, go and have some fun. I don't have time for your nonsense. It will be more convenient for us to buy things in your village after we move there. But what about the Zhou family in Dashutun? They are even further away from the supply and marketing cooperative."
This is a fact. Even now, for the Zhou family team, it is almost like traveling through mountains and rivers to come to the supply and marketing cooperative. After moving to the depression, it is another two miles away.
It seems a bit unrealistic to move the supply and marketing cooperative to Wahou.
"We need a store in Wahou. Since the brigade store can't be moved there, can we set up a branch in Wahou under the name of the Jiangwei Brigade Supply and Marketing Cooperative? We'll provide the building, and you just need to go there to buy people and goods. All the sales profits are yours."
Manager Yu was confused: "Wahou isn't far from here, what do you need a store for?"
"There might be a market in the area after a while, attracting people from all over. It wouldn't be a good idea to have a prosperous business without a store. Setting up a branch there wouldn't be a bad idea for you, at least it would give you another way to complete your tasks. How about asking the secretary of the commune's supply and marketing cooperative for permission?"
Manager Yu rolled his glassy eyes and said, "I'm just free, right? I just want some quiet time."
"Manager Yu, if you want peace and quiet, then after we have a branch, you'll buy less goods here, and you'll be more peaceful, right? Is that the right explanation?"
"That's a silly explanation, but it doesn't seem like a bad thing. Since you need it, I'll ask the commune supply and marketing cooperative for instructions. You can go back and wait for the news."
"Manager Yu, you won't make me wait until the year 3000, will you?"
"No, just wait until 1990."
Wan Feng heard that Manager Yu was joking.
Actually, Manager Yu is a good person. Except for that white glass eye, he seems to be a good person in other aspects.
