Zhang Laifu chuckled, "Young man, you've misunderstood. It's not about having your sister work as a chef at our restaurant. Rather, my family also runs a general store in the next town, and we'd like to discuss a potential collaboration on mosquito coils."
!!
Uncle Jiang's eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't expected that his niece could secure a collaboration simply by giving them some guidance.
As expected of his eldest niece!
Jiang Wanwan didn't expect Zhang Laifu to want to cooperate with her so soon; she thought it would take a long time.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Laifu, you really are my uncle."
"Hehehe, no need to thank me. It's because your mosquito coils are so effective at repelling mosquitoes, my dear niece. I also want to take advantage of this good opportunity to make some money."
So, Zhang Laifu, Jiang Wanwan, and the other two moved to a private room on the first floor.
“Don’t worry, my family’s general store isn’t in this town, but in the neighboring Yong’an town. It won’t affect your ability to continue running your stall. Even if you want to open a store in the future, that’s fine too, it won’t be delayed at all.”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanwan felt relieved.
She did indeed plan to open a mosquito coil shop in the town.
Since Zhang Laifu's grocery store is not located in this town, there is no need to consider competition.
"Uncle Laifu, how much do you plan to order?" Jiang Wanwan asked.
Zhang Laifu thought for a moment before speaking, "Order 600 rolls of regular scented mosquito coils and 300 rolls of osmanthus scented ones."
Uncle Jiang and Jiang Xun exchanged a glance, and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
The two were so excited they didn't know what to do. Holding each other's hands, they grinned, showing their teeth, and looked a little silly.
Jiang Wanwan glanced at the two of them, somewhat helplessly.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Uncle Laifu, the ordinary mosquito coils we sell today cost two coins per roll, or three coins for two rolls. The osmanthus-scented ones cost three coins per roll, or five coins for two rolls."
Since you're ordering in bulk, I'll give you regular mosquito coils for one cent per roll, and the osmanthus-scented ones for one and a half cents per roll. How about that?
Zhang Laifu quickly calculated in his mind: he ordered 600 rolls of ordinary mosquito coils, which would cost 600 coins. He ordered 300 rolls of osmanthus-scented mosquito coils, which would cost 450 coins. The total cost would be 1,050 coins.
If he sold the regular scented mosquito coils for two coins a roll, he could make 1,200 coins; if he sold the osmanthus scented ones for three coins a roll, he could make 900 coins.
After deducting costs, he can make a net profit of 1,050 coins!
Moreover, this mosquito coil is being sold for the first time in Longmen Town. It has never been sold in other towns or in Yong'an Town. He could easily raise the price of the mosquito coil and sell it to customers.
Furthermore, Yong'an Town is more developed than Longmen Town, and there are more wealthy families there, so there's no need to worry about selling the goods.
After some thought, Zhang Laifu felt the price was still very cheap, and the business opportunity was huge and profitable. So, he made a decision on the spot. "It's settled then! I'll order a batch of goods from you first, and if the response is good and they sell quickly, I'll place an additional order. Also, my dear niece, I have one more condition."
"Uncle Laifu, please speak."
“My dear niece, during our cooperation period, please do not supply goods to any shops in Yong’an Town. Can you do that?” Zhang Laifu said.
Jiang Wanwan nodded and said with a smile, "That's how it should be. Uncle Laifu, are there any other conditions?"
"It's gone."
"Alright, Uncle Laifu, I'll trouble you to prepare some paper and pen for me so we can sign a contract."
Zhang Laifu was taken aback, then suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect my niece to be such an expert. Sign it, you must sign it."
