Chapter 53: Forced Purchase and Sale
"What did you say? I'm really impressed by you! Okay, hey, I didn't expect to lose money as soon as I opened the business!"
It was rare for the purple clay teapot uncle to meet someone who paid so readily, so he surrendered.
Although he said that he was aggrieved, his hands moved quickly and he picked up the big box behind him and showed it to Su Xiaoli.
He had no recollection of what he had just said - that he only had fifteen bottles.
After the two men had settled the bill, the uncle was still muttering, "It's a waste of money to gain publicity!"
After Su Xiaoli walked out and away, the uncle could no longer hold back his pride and sat back in his rocking chair.
He picked up the purple clay teapot and took a sip.
Happy like a fool.
Hey! Hey!
Isn't this how business works? The more you want to sell something, the more you should pretend that you are reluctant to sell it or that you don't have any stock to sell, only then will customers take the bait.
What's the point of opening a business? Money!
Money is yours only when it is in your pocket.
That batch of goods is indeed hard to sell in this wholesale market, so just get rid of it quickly. It would be good if you can sell it at a high price, but cash is more needed for turnover.
If he didn't take the time to promote high-priced goods, he could sell ten boxes of goods that were above the passing standard!
Anyway, I bought it for 2.3 yuan, and I made a net profit of 50 cents per bottle. The key is that I don’t have to keep the inventory in stock anymore. Hehehe! I am so awesome.
Hehehe! Su Xiaoli walked forward holding the box, her heart bursting with joy, she actually found a treasure in her first purchase.
As the saying goes, if you can’t buy profit, you can’t sell profit.
Doing business is the process of buying at a low price and selling at a high price, making profits from both ends.
But in most cases, it is difficult for you to sell the same product at a higher price than others.
Therefore, the lower the purchase price, the higher the profit is likely to be.
Therefore, it is necessary to extract profits from upstream suppliers as much as possible.
Of course, we cannot suppress the upstream all at once. It would be even more terrible if we have no place to purchase goods.
Two dollars and eighty cents, both sides can make money, that's the most reasonable thing.
She dared to swear to heaven that next time she came, the purple clay teapot would definitely welcome her!
What's more, she chose this pearl cream after comparing for a long time.
The ingredients are safe and effective, and the packaging is relatively exquisite. It can be regarded as a mid-to-high-end product with a very high cost performance.
She expressed satisfaction with her fighting ability.
Su Xiaoli went to the management office at the corner and borrowed a trailer. With the confidence of making her first purchase, she began to slowly select the products one by one according to the list.
After a morning of work, the small trailer was so full that it could no longer accommodate anything.
Su Xiaoli was thinking about bringing some small gifts for her family.
As for Grandma and Sister Hongxia, she used the first pearl cream she bought and each of them got a large pure cashmere scarf.
The scarf is made of cashmere from cashmere goats in Yimeng City. Su Xiaoli carefully tried the feel of it.
It is light as a feather, not prickly at all, soft and warm, and will surely be able to withstand the cold winter wind in northern Hebei.
She bought several stainless steel thermos cups for Su Yuhe, Li Zhengde, Zhou Zhiyong, etc., which were new products that had just been launched on the market in the 1980s.
This is much more fashionable than enamel pots and cans, and it looks good! Oh, and there are also Zhang Yu and Gu Feihan. They are young and don’t work in offices. What should I buy for them?
After wandering around, she turned into a belt shop near the market gate.
Belts of various styles are displayed on the shelves, in varying heights and in a dazzling array.
The shop owner greeted Su Xiaoli with a smile: "Miss, welcome, welcome, is there anything I can help you with?"
Su Xiaoli nodded: "I want to buy two belts for two young men. Do you have any suitable styles?"
The shop owner's eyes lit up.
"Of course we have. Ours are all handmade, made of top-grain leather. There are many styles and they are fashionable. We have all the international brands!"
After listening to his introduction, Su Xiaoli just smiled and didn't say anything.
The shop owner's eyes flashed, and he personally selected two tin box packagings, one dark blue and the other black.
"You want to give it to someone, right? Then I'll pick one with a box. These two are both 20 yuan a box. They're high-end belts!"
Su Xiaoli took the belt and took a look at it. Before she could say anything, a man in his 30s came up from behind her.
The man opened his mouth and said, "Boss, these belts are 20 yuan a box? They are obviously leather. The packaging of this iron box is also good. It is suitable for gifts. Come on, give me a black one."
The shop owner's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately greeted the customer warmly and skillfully, and packed the black belt.
He was busy with his hands, but he didn't stop talking. "This is an export product. It sells for more than ten dollars abroad. Not to mention abroad, it sells for fifty or sixty dollars even in a big mall! You're making a profit!"
It seemed that he was talking to the man who was buying the belt, but in fact his eyes kept glancing at Su Xiaoli.
It took less than five minutes for the 30-year-old man to come in, pay the money and leave.
Su Xiaoli twisted the edge of the belt in his hand, his brows were cold and his expression was indifferent.
The shop owner spoke with certainty, but she just listened with indifference.
Good first-layer leather does not have such a high gloss, but is slightly matte.
The overall texture is smooth, soft and elastic, with irregular pores and tendon marks on the surface.
The leather the shop owner recommended to her was not even first-layer leather or recycled leather, let alone second-layer leather.
They are all made of artificial leather, with a rough, stiff surface and poor softness.
A belt like this will probably start to peel off after not even two months of use.
The man who just came up and bought a belt...
If he is not a fool, then he must be a "shill".
Seeing that she was not taking the bait, the shop owner quietly turned sideways and gestured outside in an inconspicuous place, and then two fat women wearing masks came in.
The two pretended to be very interested, asking questions here and there, and trying their best to fool people indirectly.
Su Xiaoli didn't want to fight anymore, so he put down his belt and tried to leave.
At the boss's glance, two fat women sandwiched Su Xiaoli on both sides.
Su Xiaoli was stunned and didn't move.
Yo ho!
Is this a forced sale? !
Su Xiaoli looked at the shop owner coldly, and the smile on the shop owner's face had disappeared.
"Miss, you came into my store and were so picky. It would be a shame if you didn't buy something."
Su Xiaoli gave him a glare.
"What if I don't want to buy it?"
"Don't want to buy it? I'm not afraid that you won't buy it."
The shop owner sneered, "No one who comes into my shop has ever left empty-handed."
As he said this, he glanced at the two fat women, and the two of them were about to snatch Su Xiaoli's bag.
Damn it!
Is this even possible? This is robbery! Su Xiaoli saw that the situation was not good and immediately put on a smiling face.
"No! Boss, the purpose of opening a business is to make money! I'll buy it! Isn't it okay for me to buy it?"
"Wouldn't it be better if you knew what was best for you earlier?"
The shop owner nodded, and the two fat women loosened their grip on the backpacks.
Su Xiaoli pretended to zip up her bag, but in fact her eyes were fixed outside the store, trying to find a chance to escape.
After much hesitation, the shop owner's patience was almost exhausted by the length of time it took to zip up the zipper...
