The small oil tube is the size of eye drops and is filled with kerosene. A small oil tube can fill the lighter twice and is sold individually for 5 cents per bottle.
Because there are too many models, Zhang Lei directly took out the wholesale price list, of course, the prices were after calculating the profit.
Many of these wholesalers have dealt in lighters before, and when they saw the price, they found it was indeed much cheaper than buying from other places.
"Boss, I'll take fifty."
"I want two too. Give me two so I can take them home and try them."
Although each person doesn't ask for much, there are dozens or even hundreds of wholesalers coming to Zhao Xiaohai to pick up goods every day. Each person wants dozens of lighters, which is also a considerable number.
These lighters,
It’s cheaper than outside.
Zhao Xiaohai only kept 20% of the profit.
The profit is much lower than that of the electronic watches and sunglasses sold before, but this is a business that can be done in the long run. Moreover, as long as the channels are straightened out, Zhao Xiaohai doesn’t have to worry about it later, Zhang Lei and others can take care of it.
The first day is over.
Taking inventory of lighter sales,
A total of more than 2,000 yuan worth of goods were wholesaled.
Zhao Xiaohai earned more than 500.
Is it too little?
If it were other merchants in Dehua Street, they would definitely be ecstatic. Making 500 yuan a day, they would become a 10,000 yuan household in 20 days. How could they not be excited?
But for Zhao Xiaohai,
Just basic operations.
Sunglasses, on average, I earn three to four thousand every day.
But sunglasses are too troublesome.
Every once in a while I have to go to the south,
the next day,
The lighter business was even better than the first day. Perhaps because the news had spread, many customers came to Zhao Xiaohai specifically to buy lighters.
The entrance of the new store is very busy.
Two people walked into Dehua Street,
One was Director Wang of the Flintstone Factory, and the other was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was tall and strong with a rough appearance.
The two stood outside the lighter shop for a long time, watching the wholesalers coming in and out, carrying large and small bags. Director Wang smiled and said,
"Haha, sales are good. It seems that our factory's New Year benefits are guaranteed."
There was a backlog of flints before, and it was almost impossible to pay the workers' wages, let alone their benefits. Now that the end of the year was approaching, Director Wang was very worried about it a few days ago.
Now that the lighters have been sold and they have received the money, they can give the workers New Year benefits so that they won’t be blocked at the door by workers and scolded during the New Year.
"Old Liu, do you want them to help you sell it?"
It turned out that the person next to Director Wang was Director Liu from the lighter factory. Zhao Xiaohai had previously told Director Wang to ask him to talk to the lighter factory and ask them if they were willing to let them sell the products on their behalf. This business could really last for a long time.
Director Liu was counting on his fingers.
"If we sell 500 a day, that's 180,000 a year. That's a lot more than we give to the supply and marketing cooperative. This business is really profitable."
Director Liu grabbed Director Wang's arm and said, "Come on, Old Wang, take me to see Boss Zhao right now."
Director Wang laughed.
The negotiations between Zhao Xiaohai and Director Liu went very smoothly. Both parties were willing to cooperate and quickly reached an agreement. After the Flintstone Factory sold out this batch of lighters, they would start to sell the lighter factory's products on behalf of the factory, and the price would remain the same as now.
As for the Flintstone Factory, since lighters are selling well in the future, their products will naturally have no worries about sales. All three parties will make a profit, and all three of them are very happy.
Director Liu was a straightforward man and insisted on taking Zhao Xiaohai out for a drink. When Zhao Xiaohai went, he brought Zhang Lei with him.
Director Liu's hometown is Shandong. He stayed here after he was discharged from the army. He enjoyed drinking very much. After a few rounds, Director Wang and Zhang Lei drank a little too much, and only Zhao Xiaohai was barely able to keep up with them.
When going out,
Director Liu obviously has too much.
He put his arm around Zhao Xiaohai's shoulders and said enthusiastically, "Brother Zhao, I recognize you as my brother. From now on, as long as there are no problems on your side, I will always do business with you."
Originally he had sunglasses, and recently he decided to start a lighter business. Zhao Xiaohai now has two stalls. If he starts selling children's clothing, he will have three stalls.
However, four or five days have passed, and New Year's Day is just around the corner, but the clothing factory has not contacted me yet. Could it be that they still plan to sell the goods directly and are unwilling to do the sales themselves?
Just as Zhao Xiaohai was thinking about this, Zhang Lei came upstairs with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Brother Hai, there's a telegram."
Zhao Xiaohai took the telegram, took a look at it, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Invite Comrade Zhao Xiaohai to visit our factory, Zhoukou Second Garment Factory, Lv."
Shake the telegram in your hand.
Zhao Xiaohai smiled and said:
"Big business is coming."
"Brother Hai, is this the batch of accumulated children's clothing you mentioned?" Zhang Lei asked.
"Yes, get ready and go to Zhoukou with me tomorrow."
"Okay, Brother Hai."
The next day, Zhao Xiaohai and Zhang Lei came to the garment factory. Director Lu received them and first took them to visit the Hall of Honor. He told them about the history of Zhoukou Second Garment Factory, its various achievements, annual sales, and even how much foreign exchange it earned from exports.
In fact, Zhao Xiaohai doesn't care about these at all.
Next, Director Lu took Zhao Xiaohai and others to the warehouse, where boxes of children's clothing were piled up. This was the purpose of Zhao Xiaohai's trip.
Director Lu held up the clothes and introduced them:
"These long-sleeved T-shirts are made of a cotton-triple blend fabric that is lightweight, breathable, sweat-wicking, odor-resistant, and wear-resistant."
"These shirts are made of nylon, and these pants are made of polyester. They are both high-quality fabrics produced by Taizhou Cotton Mill No. 3."
"This side is made of pure cotton printed muslin, and this side is made of linen, which is very comfortable to wear."
