However, I don't care how Wang Yong's business turns out. Whether it's good or bad, it has nothing to do with me. I won't go over and give him any advice. It's good enough if I don't just stand by and watch.
...
"Let me tell you all, starting this month, everyone will get an extra 10 yuan in salary each month, and isn't the holiday coming up soon?"
By the way, Uncle Wang, isn't the holiday coming up soon? Also, could you please order some meat? When we get paid, please give everyone 10 jin of pork to help them recover. Also, please tell the workers at the handicraft factory next door.
Also, we need to buy 50 jin (25 catties) of meat every day, and make sure to put plenty of meat in the meals we cook for everyone, so that they don't suffer from a lack of meat.
"Okay, no problem!"
Since the roasting of nuts and seeds got busy, Uncle Wang has been helping with the cooking. Although he is still working as a gatekeeper, he comes over to help with cooking whenever he has time.
Just as they were building a factory next door, they also built a small canteen there, which solved the problem of meals for the two employees. Otherwise, we would still have to find a place to provide meals for them.
To be honest, when things get busy, the two factories sometimes become like family, and everyone comes over to lend a hand, otherwise we really can't keep up.
When it comes to food, I'm never stingy. Not to mention anything else, even though the market economy has been liberalized now, people are still used to hardship and are reluctant to spend money on food.
Another reason is that there are many children in the family, as well as elderly people. Even if there are two or three workers in the family, everyone is used to living a hard life and is still reluctant to eat or buy things.
I understand their hardships, so I occasionally give them some meat, eggs, or something similar to improve their lives.
And you know what? These people are even more motivated. Sometimes, I don't even need to make any arrangements. As long as they discover a problem, they can solve some minor issues without me having to tell them.
For example, I've never worried about electrical leaks! As for things like fire prevention and theft prevention, they arrange their own shifts, with a few people on night duty or something.
It's fair to say that being a factory manager is quite an easy job.
Besides these, I've been thinking in my spare time about how to expand the sales channels for roasted nuts and seeds.
Another point is that handicrafts are now only limited to the vicinity of Beijing, while handicrafts from all over the country are incredibly diverse and, most importantly, extremely beautiful!
I remember in my past life, these handicrafts were very popular with foreigners.
I had nothing else to do, and the Mid-Autumn Festival had just passed a couple of days ago, so my sales staff from all over the country had returned. I decided to take this opportunity to hold a meeting with them.
"Factory manager, will this work?"
"Why not? The handmade items we're currently acquiring are about to become outdated. Not to mention, there are many similar items that can be seen everywhere. If we don't hurry up and acquire other items, there will definitely be no market for them."
Even if we collaborate with Linda Street, they can terminate the collaboration at any time if we don't produce new work.
"But if we do that, our entire book will be lost?"
“That’s not a problem. Once you’ve collected them from various places, we’ll set a uniform price at the factory.”
"Doesn't that mean we can set the price?"
"That's true, but the price can't be too high. Putting aside everything else, there are quite a few people who follow the trend. As long as their quality is good and their styles are novel, they can replace ours at any time. And most importantly, foreigners can now stay in our country for a long time."
They can keep track of the market prices for every kind of commodity in our country, so the prices can't be too high.
Also, for local sales staff, remember this: from now on, when you're making sales, tell those with skills that if they can create something new and unique, charge extra based on weight and size. We'll discuss the exact amount later.
"good"
"Also, you can contact your former comrades-in-arms for help. As long as they collect handicrafts locally that are of good quality and not currently available in their factories, we can give them a commission."
Similar to roasted nuts, as long as they reach a contract with someone locally, we'll give them a commission once we receive the order. We'll discuss the exact amount later.
"Factory manager, doesn't this mean we're essentially giving them money?"
"That's right, but even if I wanted to give it to them, they would have to make it happen first."
Putting aside other things, for example, if the other party wants 1,000 yuan worth of goods, I can give them a 10 yuan commission.
But earning 10 yuan isn't easy, is it? Otherwise, not everyone would be a good salesperson like you.
"That's really true."
"In this way, we don't expect to expand our business nationwide, but we must at least have a certain market share in major cities."
Also, when the time is right, I plan to see if we can start advertising, which would help us expand our business even further.
"Advertisement, factory, what is this?"
"It's like the programs that are broadcast on the radio every day. Besides, some households have bought televisions now, so they can also advertise on TV."
"So even if we don't talk about the countryside, at least half of the people in the city know about the products from our factory."
"That's right. In that case, when everyone goes out to sell things, as long as our products are on the shelves, they will definitely scramble to sell them. At that time, our factory will receive more and more orders, everyone will be busier and busier, and they will earn more and more money."
"That's really true."
"Leaving aside other things for now, the main thing is to see if there are any other handicrafts in the places you're going to this time."
If you're unsure how much to price during this period, just buy one item first, send it back, and I'll check it and then set a price.
"That's good. Otherwise, we were really worried that we would set the price too high and end up not making much money when we export. Wouldn't that be a waste of our efforts?"
"How should I reply? Are there any other questions?"
"there is none left"
"Since that's the case, let's talk about how much commission we should give to the people who help us with sourcing and shipping goods."
Here's my thinking: whether it's buying or selling, I'll give them a 10 yuan commission out of every 1000 yuan. That's 100 yuan in total. It's not much, but it's the most I can offer them right now.
"There are quite a few factories. Even if you're not good with words, you'll definitely have no problem with handmade products, let alone selling roasted nuts and seeds."
"That's fine. As long as it doesn't cause any delays, we can upgrade and replace it."
