1987: Sleepless Tonight

He said so on the lips, but his heart felt a little thumped. Did Lu Hao imply that the sales of Wanjia soda were no longer good? Could it be that some accident happened during the operation?

It wasn't just Zhang Yongqiang who thought so in his heart, including the other people on the table, Su Xingmin, Wang Guizhi, Su Jiangang, Su Min, and Su Jin, all looked at Lu Hao strangely, with worried expressions on their faces.

"Of course I was joking." Lu Hao said.

???

!!!

Zhang Yongqiang looked at Lu Hao in astonishment.

What does this mean?

Is it really a joke, did you deliberately play him?

If he hadn't been mentally prepared before coming here, thinking that he might suffer humiliation, and this meal was his last chance, he couldn't help but rushed to Lu Hao to question him.

"Brother-in-law must be joking. How could Wanjia Soda not work? Compared with Wanjia Soda, the soda from the second factory is not suitable for carrying shoes. What you said just now is testing us, right?" Su Yumei said, "Don't worry, Regardless of whether there is a problem with Wanjia Soda now or in the future, Yongqiang and I will definitely continue to sell Wanjia Soda and will not sell other sodas."

She thought that Lu Hao was testing her and Zhang Yongqiang.

"It's not a test." Lu Hao shook his head, "I've made it very clear just now, you two are not good at selling soda, you can't do this business, and you can't do business for long if you want to speculate, and I don't Because the two of you are relatives, I will write a note and ask you to jump in line."

"Wanjia Soda is a brand that I have worked hard to create. It is impossible for it to be ruined easily. If this back door is opened for you two, the business of Wanjia Soda will be damaged, which is not conducive to the unity of other distributors. , so I will not open this back door for you two."

The back door cannot be opened at will, even if it is opened, it is not facing Zhang Yongqiang and Su Yumei.

"But I'm not that unreasonable. You two first went to Jiangang, then to my office, and now you have your parents to invite you to eat at Yujin Restaurant. After doing so much, you just want I'll give you two a hand." Lu Hao said, "I can do it, but only if it doesn't affect the business under my name."

There is still hope for these two people.

He was intentionally indifferent, and even intentionally made the two of them lose face, but both of them endured it. If this is the case, then help a bunch of people. Anyway, it's just an idea, or a thread, but definitely not The two arranged to go into a business under their own name.

The reason is also very simple. One is that these two people are soft, but it is also for the sake of money. The other is that these two people do not have Su Jiangang's character. The third point is that they should try to avoid involving relatives and friends in business. From the very beginning, he tried his best to prevent the business from becoming a family business. The last and most important point is that the business acumen of these two people can only be regarded as ordinary. .

"Then what kind of business do we two do?" Su Yumei asked, "We are not suitable for business either."

Su Yumei has already realized that without Lu Hao's help, she might lose any business.

"In addition to business acumen, you must have vision in order to do business. If you have vision, then you will be a pig, and you will be blown up in the wind." Lu Hao said, "It doesn't matter if you two don't know how to do business. Let me show you two a way, not to mention being rich and powerful, but having a small family property is definitely not a big problem."

Su Yumei and Zhang Yongqiang looked at each other.

Isn't this scolding?

Said they were pigs.

But at this time, the two of them didn't care about it anymore. The purpose of this meal is to let Lu Hao help out. The best situation is to let them run the soda business, or hand over the purchase channels of department stores to them. But obviously Lu Hao disagreed.

But being able to point the way is better than doing nothing.

"What way?" Su Yumei asked.

"You said, we will definitely do what you said." Zhang Yongqiang also nodded.

"Stationery business." Lu Hao said, "Sell erasers, pencils, ink, exercise books, knives, etc., as long as it is related to stationery, you can operate."

The stationery business has existed for a long time, but it is not called a stationery store, but a stationery store.

Before 1840, paper, ink, pens and inkstones were the main types of stationery in the Jiangcheng market. Paper, ink, pens and inkstones from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were exported to Hankou, and the business was very good.

By the end of Guangxu, Hankou's paper shop had developed into one of the eight major shops in Hankou, with annual sales reaching 600 million taels!

Later, when various schools were established, the stationery market further expanded, and the types of business also continued to increase. From traditional paper, ink, pens and inkstones to stone pens, chalks, pens, and pencils, new stationery also appeared.

In 1955, Jiangcheng City established a stationery company, with a wide scope of business, not only paper, stationery, musical instruments, etc., but also microcomputers, electronic calculators, electrostatic copiers, and audio-visual teaching tools.

Industry sales are nearly 1.5 million yuan!

Just in Jiangcheng, and it was still in the 80s, the sales reached this level.

Although the money earned in this industry is not as exaggerated as the department store industry, it is still quite a lot.

There are also some stationery stores on the market at the moment, but the number is not many, and most of them are state-owned stationery stores. With the popularization of education, the increase in the rate of admission to higher education, and the aggravation of learning tasks, more and more learning materials are placed on the desks. There will be more and more stationery stores.

This is the trend.

Primary school, junior high school, high school, including universities, stationery stores inside and outside the school, initially sell homework books, pens, erasers, etc., and then add various secret volumes, full explanations of textbooks, famous school rolls, etc.

"Can this business make money?" Su Yumei was puzzled.

"The stationery is only a few dollars. Is there any profit?" Zhang Yongqiang was also a little less optimistic.

The two felt a little disgusted with this business.

No matter how I think about it, I never thought that Lu Hao would introduce this business to them.

"Are you doubting me?" Lu Hao took a sip of tea, "If you don't want to do it, just treat it as fart. Although I have eaten the meal you invited, I have already made up my mind. If you two choose not to do it , That is your own problem, if you are willing to do it, I can set up a line for you, help you contact wholesalers, and help you find a suitable location to operate."

He made up his mind, he didn't care whether Zhang Yongqiang and Su Yumei listened to him or not.

If you don't listen, leave after eating. If you listen, you will help and guide.

"What do you two have to worry about, and what is there to hesitate about? Lu Hao is willing to give you two ideas, which is already very face-saving. Since he is willing to give advice, he will not harm you two. Just do what he said, for sure. Can make money." Su Xingmin said.

He couldn't bear to see it.

If the second uncle really wanted to play tricks, there was no need to say so many words. I'm afraid the meal would never come.
