Chapter 57 Hot-selling sandals
The sandals have been counted and strung together. There are indeed more than 360 pairs.
Counting the money for gifts before, the cost is 3.4 yuan per pair.
Fang Mingche asked Uncle Yuan for a paper shell to cover it. Then he said goodbye to his uncle and drove back with Song Quan.
His uncle looked at their backs, still a little worried. Before leaving, he glared at Old Yuan and said, "Don't drink too much in the future! You will talk too much when you drink too much."
The sandals were carried to the small side yard. Uncle Gu sat at the door and looked at the way they came.
He was waiting for the postman and couldn't help looking over when he heard the bell. He was
a little surprised to see Mingche coming back during the day. Didn't they even change someone to deliver water in the slum?
Because Song Quan's business is good now and he is too busy. This job was given to another male educated youth who had just returned to the city in the slum.
Nowadays, the big bowl tea stall has a good business and needs to refill the water five times a day. This delivery can also earn 50 cents a day, 15 yuan a month.
One trip takes 20 minutes, and you can also take care of the housework.
Uncle Gu asked, "Why are you back at this time?"
Fang Mingche said, "Ayan's uncle is from the supply and marketing cooperative. He introduced us to a batch of unsalable goods. I just went to pick them up with Brother Song."
Uncle Gu followed to see what the unsalable goods were. If they were for daily use, he could also take care of the business. Anyway, no tickets are required!
As a result, they were children's rubber sandals, and he almost laughed.
"Are you sure they are your wife's relatives, not enemies?"
Fang Mingche said, "You don't understand this. This is called off-season purchase."
Fang Mingche called Song Quan and ordered 25 pairs of the same size to stay in the car. That's 100 pairs. Put them in two boxes made of cardboard that Uncle Yuan asked for.
These rubber sandals are blue and can be worn by both men and women. They are a bit rustic in BJ, but they are actually okay in a small place.
The rest were moved into the room and placed.
Fang Mingche also brought the shoe rack that the handicraft cooperative had twisted with wire two days ago. When the time comes, it will be used for display, and it can hold 20 pairs of shoes at a time. The rest were put in a cardboard box, which was used as a small warehouse.
Then the two of them rushed to the square.
Passing by a small restaurant, Fang Mingche said to the boss: "At six o'clock in the evening, give me eight dishes and one soup. Eight adults and two children, for ten people. Mostly meat dishes!"
"Okay!"
Now he said he would prepare the dishes!
Then Fang Mingche said to Song Quan: "Call my sister-in-law and nephew to have dinner together in the evening."
When Song Quan asked the boss to prepare the dishes, he thought that Xiao Fang wanted to thank him.
He still said: "You are too polite. We are neighbors, just lending a hand. Besides, you have helped us so much."
"As for my help, I will ask Lao Wang to use public funds to treat me, and then I will invite you to accompany me. As for this meal, it is my way of thanking you. Let's talk about it separately!"
"That's great, I won't be polite to you."
When he arrived at the square, Fang Mingche invited Lao Wang and two logistics people who often came to help to have dinner in the evening. The person who accompanied A Yan to get the money before was also invited.
Old Wang said, "How can this be so embarrassing? We all help each other."
"It won't affect everyone treating each other to dinner." Fang Mingche smiled.
Old Wang nodded, "Okay, I'll apply for a grant later."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Invite Brother Song as well."
That's no problem, this matter depends entirely on Old Song's mediation.
However, "Your sandals..." Can they be sold?
Old Wang looked at Fang Mingche, who was putting out the shoe rack and placing sandals on it, with some concern.
"Everything depends on human effort."
Fang Mingche inserted a sign made of paper shells clamped and tied with broken bamboo poles on the shoe rack.
It was written in calligraphy: Off-season discount, no tickets needed! One pair for five yuan, two pairs for nine and six yuan, three pairs for fourteen yuan, four pairs for eighteen yuan. Each person is limited to four pairs.
As a teacher, the blackboard writing must be passed. He asked Uncle Gu to borrow a brush and ink.
Lin Yan also came over to take a look.
"Do you still want to limit purchases?"
"Yes."
The two logistics people who were helping had just accepted the invitation and were very enthusiastic about their work. If she walked away from the front line of making tea for a while, they would not have any objections.
Fang Mingche nodded, "Yes, limit the purchase to four pairs."
Then he shouted: "Buy sandals-produced by BJ big factory, no ticket required! Off-season discount, take it home and keep it for two or three months, a pair will be discounted by at least one dollar! The supply and marketing cooperative sells it for five or six yuan a pair, and you need a ticket!"
There was one last small climax in the morning, so he opened a shop first.
People from his own big bowl tea stall, the stalls around, and even a few other people like Lao Cheng who were a little far away all looked over.
Seeing that he was selling sandals in the cold spring, many people laughed.
Some even said, "You are joking, attracting customers' attention?"
Fang Mingche smiled and said, "Do I need it?"
With craftsmen to help attract traffic, he had enough traffic.
Fang Mingche shouted again.
There were actually tourists who came out of the Forbidden City who heard the sound and came over.
You do need a ticket to buy rubber sandals at the supply and marketing cooperatives. All supply and marketing cooperatives in different places need a ticket.
The boss is right. You can wear them after you take them home for two or three months. When I come to the capital, I buy a pair of sandals for each of my children.
"Oh, there is a purchase limit?"
Fang Mingche said with a smile, "It's a small business.
" "Can you buy less?
" "No, how can you buy less when there is a purchase limit?"
The man asked and walked away.
Fang Mingche was not discouraged and continued to shout. Soon another customer came and bought three pairs after checking them out. He
spent a total of 14 yuan and made a net profit of 3.8 yuan.
Lin Yan was relieved to see that they could really be sold. At worst,
she could sell them slowly. She went back to make tea.
People came to buy one after another. Most of them bought two pairs. They were of different lengths.
Nowadays, there are many children, and they usually wait for the older ones to wear them before the younger ones. If they are broken, parents often use a red-hot fire hook to burn them directly. A black spot! It doesn't look good, but it can be worn.
But some children wear out their shoes. They can’t wear them in public after one or two years.
This doesn’t require a ticket, and it’s cheaper if you buy more.
Some people who come on business trips can get travel subsidies. I made up my mind to give each of the two or three children in the family a pair of shoes.
Let the younger children be happy for once, so that they don’t have to complain that the shoes they wear are all old.
There were also people sitting here drinking tea. Seeing that Fang Mingche really didn’t need any more, he also stood
up and prepared to buy some. Just as he was about to speak, the first person who came to ask, carrying a briefcase, came back and brought a colleague with him.
The other person nodded after seeing it. The first person said directly, "Give me four pairs."
Fang Mingche smiled slightly and went to find colleagues who were on a business trip to share the order.
The person who had just finished tea and was about to place an order was inspired. Yes, we can just get together and buy four pairs.
He whispered a few words with the person who was drinking tea at the table next to him, and bought four pairs.
The person who wanted to see the joke just now watched Mingche collecting money and handing out shoes.
