Plans can't keep up with changes
Wenli was worried and frowned.
By the time he had walked around the entire market, the word "distressed" was almost written on his face.
None of the shops are for rent or transfer!
Is your business so good?
He couldn't help but roar in his heart, and asked himself and answered: Yes, their business is so good!
Frustrated, Qin Wenli returned to the bookstore with his head down and continued to help his second sister-in-law publish books.
Yao Yun was a little surprised: "You won't be going back tonight, did your aunt tell you?"
Qin Wenli nodded: "I said it before I came out."
I have consulted my mother about this matter today. She also knew that her second brother had passed away, and her brothers would definitely help her second sister-in-law, so she nodded and asked him to help.
At five o'clock, Qin Wenping also came to help. The few of them ate a quick meal and worked until almost the early morning, when all the books were finally put in place.
Yao Yun didn't know how to express his gratitude. Her family also runs a bookstore, so when her family is busy, they are also busy, so even if they want to help, they are powerless. Only these brothers and nephews were really busy and hardworking. If it weren't for these two brothers, they might have to work for two more days.
Alas, when the second brother was reborn, he did not feel that having more brothers was any good. Instead, he complained that relatives were too troublesome and caused too much trouble. It was not until I actually needed someone that I realized how reliable my family members were.
Qin Wenli stayed at Qin Wenping's house at night.
I originally wanted to ask my fourth brother for some advice, but we were both so tired that we started snoring as soon as we touched the pillow.
After sleeping till dawn, the two brothers got up and washed their faces, and only then did they have time to talk.
"Longding Mall is in a very bad location. People from eight counties and one district come here to buy goods. Even if there is a transfer, it will be snatched up before the news is released. You want to open a store there, no chance!"
Qin Wenping pointed out bluntly that this approach was not feasible.
"What should we do? All our plans this year are centered around this store, but now we are stuck at the first step..." Qin Wenli didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I also felt a little annoyed and frustrated. This is the disadvantage of not researching the market in advance.
"There's no chance of success there, but the shop in Longding facing the street on three sides is not that difficult to rent, but the rent is a bit more expensive."
Expensive rent means high expenses and low profits.
Qin Wenli could only make note of this matter and let his mother make the decision when he got home.
After dinner, he still didn't give up and ran to Longding again. Just like yesterday, he could only give up completely.
…
"This is the situation. I asked my fourth brother, and he also said it's hard to find..." Qin Wenli reported dejectedly and waited for his old mother to speak.
Hu Yufeng did not expect this situation. How can I put it? It's just that the people from these villages have too little experience.
Hu Yufeng pondered for a moment and decided to go and see it in person another day.
It’s not that I don’t trust Wenli, but since I don’t have a storefront to open a shop, why not try that small stall?
The next day, Qin Wenli accompanied her to Longding. When they saw the small stall in person, Hu Yufeng fell silent. How could she think that Wenli was a little too arrogant because he had a factory and looked down on the small stall? It was just that the stall was so small that if it was sold here it would easily lower the quality of the products.
Forget it, let’s think of another way.
So the four of them held another meeting and came up with a new plan.
First, promote the product to various wholesale shops, and at the same time keep a close eye on the shopping malls and their surrounding areas, and seize the opportunity as soon as there is any sign of the product.
In March, Qin Wenli rode his beloved motorcycle and officially entered the Longding Shopping Mall.
The motorcycle was bought last month. It was Hu Yufeng who took the initiative to buy it. Since the factory was built, she either worked at the factory or went back to her hometown to relax. She left all the errands to Qin Wenli, so she didn't notice the inconvenience of waiting for the shuttle bus.
But after traveling to Qingyuan for the past few days, I’m really fed up with the pain of waiting for the bus. The bus arrived at the gate at 9:40 on the first day, so they left at 9:30 on the second day, but ended up not arriving until 10 o'clock. I left home at 9:35 on the third day, but I missed it again. I was fed up with it.
After taking the money and arriving in Qingyuan, she called Qin Wenli and went straight to the place where motorcycles were sold.
As soon as Qin Wenli arrived at the place, he was like a mouse entering a rice jar. Although his face remained expressionless, his eyes were shining and he thought that every show he saw was good. But he kept in mind the purpose of buying a car. They were not rich enough to buy whatever they liked, so practicality was the most important thing.
After listening to their request, the boss recommended two models, a Loncin and a Jialing 125.
Qin Wenli sat on it and tried it out, and his heart was already leaning towards Jialing. After discussing with Hu Yufeng, the two took turns to bargain for the price, and they managed to reduce it from 6,000 to 5,400, with a helmet included.
Pay the money, go through the formalities... Qin Wenli inserted the key into the keyhole, turned the accelerator twice, and the motorcycle started with a roar. After his old mother got into the car and sat down, Qin Wenli lifted his foot off the ground and released the clutch. He had only one feeling: awesome!
Thank you, mother.
…
Today, Qin Wenli was tied with twisted gift boxes all over his body. These were left over from the Chinese New Year and they came in handy this time.
When I arrived at the place, I adjusted my expression, picked up the gift box and went into the shop.
As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted with a smile: "Oh, the boss is busy!" They are all shrewd people in the business world and know the principle of not hitting someone who smiles at you, so the boss also responds with a smile.
At the end of the day, all the gift boxes were sent out, but no one accepted the offer. Qin Wenli also knew that this matter could not be rushed. He should at least wait for a few days to let others find out more and have a better understanding of his own products.
But you can't really do nothing these days.
He came up with an idea and printed a stack of promotional leaflets. He then stood at the entrance of the alley where food was wholesaled and gave one to everyone who came in, inviting them to taste his own fried dough twists. This actually attracted a few customers, and some individual travelers also squeezed over to listen, and then bought something after listening.
Qin Wenli simply rented a tricycle, pulling four or five boxes of fried dough twists and selling them while promoting them.
After a few days, he shamelessly came to the house for the second time. One of the food wholesale shops, called "Jia Jia", showed some interest and asked him to send some of their products to test the waters first. Qin Wenli was immediately overjoyed. He called Yang Jian to ask him to deliver the goods, and then asked his boss to go out for a meal in the evening.
The goods have entered the mall, but Qin Wenli has not stopped promoting them. It’s still the same combination of sending out information and tasting food. If you’re interested, you can get “Jia Jia”. The goods in each shop were similar. The merchants bought fried dough twists and other goods at the same time. The boss looked at Qin Wenli with more and more kindness, and even addressed him as "brother" instead of "Xiao Qin".
During these days of promotion in the mall, Qin Wenli also paid close attention to how others sold their products and actually learned a few tricks. Take the one delivering clothes, for example. They were all white with four big yellow characters on them: “Xingwang Food”.
Well, this approach works, and Qin Wenli immediately kept this in mind.
When they passed by the bookstore in the afternoon, Yao Yun stuffed a bag of clothes into his hand and said, "These are given to us when we bought new stock. We can't wear them all. You can take them back to your hometown and wear them when you work."
Qin Wenli opened it and took a look. Isn’t this the same one that the person gave him today?
I asked Yao Yun and found out that this is called a T-shirt. Almost all brands will customize it and it is also a kind of promotional product. Qin Wenli immediately asked where to order it, and Yao Yun actually knew the place and pointed out the place on the spot.
Qin Wenli went home and showed the clothes to Hu Yufeng. He mentioned the idea of custom-making the clothes, and Hu Yufeng agreed. Why not just ask him to customize more and use them as factory uniforms, so that drivers and employees can wear them in the future.
When the factory uniforms arrived, Yang Xiu's crispy oil cakes had also passed the inspection and were ready to be bagged and sold.
So Qin Wenli once again rode his motorcycle towards Qingyuan.
In such a busy manner, summer is here again in the blink of an eye.
There is still no news on shop leasing. There are shops for rent in the surrounding area, but they are either too big or too expensive. He then regained his focus and continued to focus on these wholesalers. Fortunately, hard work pays off. In addition to Jia Jia, four other companies have also signed supply agreements with the factory.
…
Hu Yufeng is now a hands-off boss. Huizi is in charge of production, Wenli is in charge of marketing, and Yang Xiu is more active in R&D than she is. After all the calculations, she finds that she seems to have nothing to do.
The unbearable scorching summer has just passed, but the heat in the air cannot be completely dissipated for a while. The setting sun melts gold, and a gorgeous cloud in the sky shines on the outer wall of the factory, and a thin layer of pink gold appears on the white wall.
Hu Yufeng stood in front of the window for a long time, looking at this peaceful scene. Her heart, which should have been at peace, always felt like it was walking on air.
This emotion came inexplicably, and Hu Yufeng just thought that she was bored, so she simply looked away, stretched, walked back to her desk, picked up the phone and called Secretary Gou.
In August, winter wheat can be planted as long as there is a few light rains.
As soon as the phone was connected, Secretary Gou picked up quickly. The two exchanged a few pleasantries as usual, and Secretary Gou spoke of the progress before she could ask.
"All the work for the four teams has been completed. People from other teams have also come to inquire about it. I have picked a few households in a row. The wheat seeds have also been distributed, and Qing is waiting for God to send rain so that he can sow them." Lao Gou laughed loudly on the other end.
Not only that, he even made the signs for the demonstration points and was just waiting for the right time to order them.
I feel very proud when I think about other villages still struggling to prepare for the year-end observation.
Upon hearing this, Hu Yufeng smiled and thanked him, made an appointment to come back and visit another day, and then hung up the phone.
After sitting for a while, she took out her meeting notes and flipped through them. She went over this year's events in her mind and felt that the visit could be put on the agenda.
At the beginning of the year, we said that Yang Xiu would go out, but after a busy third quarter, Xiu'er is still working around the frying pan.
On the one hand, the family is really busy. Not only are they busy with factory matters, but they also have to deal with weddings and funerals in Murakami and relatives' families. Whenever something happens, someone at home has to help. This person used to be Yang Xiu and Wen Li, but now people know that they are too busy to leave, so Wen Li was relieved of his duties. All he does is serve dishes and stand at the table. Just replace him.
But Yang Xiu cannot be replaced, she is an expert in the kitchen and a good helper to the cook in any household. There are only a few capable young wives in the village, and there is really no one to replace them.
On the other hand, Yang Xiu also fell into a bottleneck period in research and development. The oil cakes were still fine, but problems with the oil cakes kept emerging. The fried cakes in Yang County are made of hot dough wrapped with a sugar core. The outer skin is crispy and crumbly, while the inside is soft and melty.
But if you want to make it ready to eat right out of the bag, the skin will become cold and hard. Yang Xiu really racked his brains to solve this problem. He made fried sugar triangles and pastry cakes, but he failed to make a successful fried cake.
