Chapter 162 An unexpected gain
"Xiao Cui, you have been in Xishi for some time, you should be able to guess the reason. These local merchants in Xishi have no other problems but xenophobia."
Perhaps this matter also tormented Shui Danhua. When she talked about this, her brows were deeply wrinkled, and her face was obviously annoyed.
Cui Xue nodded. It is true that the locals in Xishi are very xenophobic. She discovered this when she first came to Xishi for investigation. Xenophobia is not
the only thing. Some customs in Xishi are more serious than those in prefecture-level cities.
If you want to conduct business activities here, either the locals have some background, or you have to find a backer.
The backer Cui Xue found was Shui Danhua, or the government behind her.
No force is more reliable than the government.
"I understand the problem you mentioned, but if the current situation cannot be resolved, it will be difficult for Xishi's economy to develop, right?"
But for the rest, he only mentioned the largest local industry - coal.
If it is not exported, the economy will never improve if the people of Xishi only produce and sell it themselves.
Other cities are soaring to the sky with the east wind of opening up, but they are still standing still, which is simply seeking death.
Attracting investment is not only to boost the economy, the most important thing is to exchange and learn from the development of various places, learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses, so as to promote their own progress.
Cui Xue knows these principles, Shui Danhua knows them, but the local bosses who hold the resources are not unaware of them, but they are just unwilling to share the benefits in their hands.
Just talking about transportation, the cost of having your own transport team and asking others to help with transportation is not at the same level.
No matter how rich they are, they are unwilling to take out an extra penny from their pockets.
So this is Cui Xue's biggest headache.
She can't convince these local people, especially those big guys.
Shui Danhua sighed deeply, "That's true. We have thought of many ways to change, but they just won't budge. This really makes it difficult for me to do it."
People these days are simple, but not stupid. You're asking people to give up their own profits. Who wouldn't be happy?
"Xiao Cui, do you have any solution?"
Cui Xue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a wry smile, indicating that she was powerless.
She really didn't have any good solution for the time being. Even if she did, she had to think carefully about whether she could come up with this plan.
After all, this is no small matter. If she blindly gets involved, there may not be any good thing. If the news leaks out, she may even be hated by others.
The logistics business has not improved much, but Cui Xue is not in a hurry. She goes to investigate the market seriously every day, which gives her some ideas.
She rented a shop in a more prosperous place, designed it carefully, and opened the shop soon.
Although the economy of Xishi is not very good, there are still many rich people. In
addition to coal, there are also bathing cities. The consumption of these bathing cities is not low, but the business is not bad.
Cui Xue did not set her sights on them, but on the female companions who come in and out of the men.
The products made by her foreign trade company can stand the test, and there is absolutely no problem with the quality and supply.
Xishi is far from import and export, and the prices of some imported goods have increased several times when they come here.
You know, women and children's money is the easiest to make, and Cui Xue also has her eyes on this.
So she plans to try her idea and open a store to do import business.
She investigated the market and did some calculations before she decided to do it.
Even if the cost of foreign trade and transportation is included, and she makes 30% of the profit, the price is cheaper than the current market price in Xishi.
It seems that she still has a chance.
So when the store opened, it suddenly became popular.
As mentioned before, rich people are afraid of wasting money, especially people of this era.
Cui Xue's first-hand source of goods cannot be faked, and the price is cheap, so of course she is popular.
The eyes of those rich ladies lit up, and each of them wanted to pack up everything in the store and take it away. Cui Xue was frightened by their robbery-like posture.
It took a long time to calm those rich ladies down, and then recommended suitable products according to their skin types.
Not to mention that Cui Xue's special training in skin care was still somewhat useful, and it made those rich ladies stunned.
"Boss Cui, you are very different." A rich lady spoke with an accent from another place, and it was unclear whether she was praising Cui Xue or mocking her.
"What's different? Don't you like my suggestion to you?" Cui Xue asked with an unchanged smile.
The rich lady glanced at her hands that were smeared with the product and smiled with satisfaction.
"In the past, when we went to those beauty salons, they wanted us to buy the whole store. But when we come to you, we may not be able to buy anything even if we want to. Boss Cui, you are honest, I like you."
Before she finished speaking, the young ladies around her also nodded in agreement.
Cui Xue heard this, and the smile on her face deepened a lot.
"Who doesn't want to make money in business? But some money is not necessary. In addition to making money, I sell these things to make the sisters more beautiful. If I deceive the sisters into buying inappropriate products for the sake of making money, causing them to be ugly, it would be a sin. It would be hard to have a clear conscience if I made such money."
Her words made the rich ladies happy.
"Oh, Boss Cui is really good at talking. But by the way, Boss Cui, have you ever considered opening a beauty salon?"
This suggestion made Cui Xue stunned, and then she pondered for a while.
She really hadn't thought about it, mainly because she really didn't understand the business model of a beauty salon.
"I haven't thought about it, and I've never done it before. I opened this store because I have some connections in foreign trade."
Cui Xue was humble for a moment, not revealing her background.
"Oh, it's actually not difficult, why don't you go and learn? We will invest in you."
"Yes, yes, you see, the things you have here are not bad, but they are too monotonous. It would be great if there were some facial cleansers and massages, so that we don't have to rush in and out every time."
"Of course not. Actually, it's quite comfortable to stay here with Boss Cui. It's just that the place is a little small, and there are so many people coming and going, so it's not easy to stay for a long time."
Cui Xue kept the rich wives' words in mind, and smiled and promised that they would consider the beauty salon.
After a busy day, they were finally able to close the store before dark.
She returned to the compound with something on her mind, and on the way she ran into Shui Danhua who had just got off work, and the two returned to the compound together.
On the way, Shui Danhua talked about some things, about persuading the locals not to shoot outside jobs, but there had been no progress, and Shui Danhua was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night.
Cui Xue listened silently without expressing any opinions.
But her thoughts were a little divergent. If she could maintain a good relationship with those rich wives and use them to persuade others, would it work?
