"The two of us are going to sell fireworks? Didn't we agree before that we would go to the town to sell them during the market five or six days before the New Year?" Tang Shen was a little confused.
Qin Zijin shook his head and said seriously, "No, the news that we're selling our products everywhere must have spread. Since Zhihao's friend has so much supply, why doesn't he seize the market himself?"
"If he seizes the opportunity in Qinghe Town first, then if we wait until a few days before the New Year to sell, our advantage will be greatly reduced. By then, the goods will be piled up and unsold, and our losses will become huge."
After listening to Qin Zijin's words, Tang Shen suddenly understood.
He just thought that someone would follow their example and drive ox carts to sell goods from village to village, which would make their business much more difficult. However, he never thought that Cheng Zhihao's friend who had the source of fireworks would personally take action to seize the market.
If this is true, then they may not be able to sell all the goods they have.
By then it will be a disaster.
Couplets are small businesses and the profits are not that big.
At the end of the day, the most profitable business was still the firecracker business.
It was because a few wealthy bosses who had returned from other places bought a batch of fireworks and firecrackers from them that they were able to make more than 6,000 yuan a day.
Otherwise, how could they earn so much money in just one day just by selling Spring Festival couplets?
Tang Shen felt a little scared when he thought about it.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that Qin Zijin was smart and thought of this in time. They still had time to remedy the situation. If it was too late, they would probably lose a lot of money.
"By the way, Zijin, how did you know about this?" After Tang Shen recovered, he looked at Qin Zijin in surprise.
Qin Zijin's heart skipped a beat, but she explained calmly, "That's easy to guess. We've been selling couplets everywhere and people have copied us. We can't keep the fireworks business secret; it will quickly spread to other people. Who would complain about making too much money?"
Tang Shen thought it made sense, so he didn't doubt it.
Early the next morning, several people readjusted their sales plans.
Zhao Daniu has made a lot of progress following Qin Zijin and Tang Can. At least he has no problem selling goods. He took Zhao Ermao and Aunt Zhao with him to help collect the money.
Qin Zijin and Tang Can drove an ox cart to Qinghe Town.
As expected, there were already people selling fireworks in Qinghe Town, and the prices were much lower than what Tang Shen and his team had set.
At this price, the profit of the batch of goods in Qin Zijin's hands is less than 10%. Although they can make money, the time spent and the income are not proportional.
"It is true." Tang Shen frowned as he looked at it.
There are many wealthy people in Qinghe Town. During the Chinese New Year, the whole family gets together, with adults and children all present. It is a custom here to burn fireworks and firecrackers. As the saying goes, a single blast of firecrackers is worth a fortune. Whether the fireworks and firecrackers at home are loud enough and how long they last during the Chinese New Year means whether the income in the coming year can be high.
People here are still very superstitious about this.
Unless the family is really struggling, anyone with some spare money will be willing to spend it to buy some fireworks.
This is also the reason why Cheng Zhihao felt that there was a market and was willing to sell everything he had to do this business.
"Let's go and take a look at the town government first." Qin Zijin took a look and then looked away, pulling Tang Can directly to the town government building.
It's not holiday yet, but compared to other places in town, it seems a little quieter here.
Qin Zijin and Tang Can greeted the security guard at the door, handed him a cigarette, and explained the situation, and the other party reluctantly went to help.
But he came out soon and just shook his head at the two of them.
Qin Zijin had already anticipated this. What she could think of, anyone with a quick mind could certainly think of as well.
It seems that the business in Qinghe Town is completely hopeless.
"Let's go to the town closest to Qinghe Town, and leave now." Qin Zijin made a quick decision and spoke immediately.
Tang Shen nodded and set off in the ox cart.
The biggest drawback of this ox cart is that it is too slow. Even if it is driven at the fastest speed, it will take at least more than an hour to reach the next town. Even if something happens on the way and it is delayed, it may take at least two or three hours to arrive.
Qin Zijin and Tang Shen were obviously unlucky.
Because something happened on the way.
The roads between the towns here are not wide and can only accommodate one car, which is very inconvenient.
It is precisely for this reason that the development of Qinghe Town has been very slow.
Without convenient transportation, it is naturally difficult to develop.
Qin Zijin and Tang Shen's ox cart was only halfway there when it got stuck.
Something seemed to have happened up ahead. The traffic jam was at least one kilometer long. Many drivers got out of their cars and cursed.
Qin Zijin and Tang Shen were also forced to stop.
"I don't know what happened ahead." Qin Zijin frowned.
If they delay like this, they might not be able to make it to the town in time. This team will probably have to suffer today.
Tang Shen jumped off the ox cart, looked ahead, turned around and told Qin Zijin, "I'm going to go check ahead. You wait here for me."
