Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"Yes." Tang Ting said: "Although it is said to be a defective product, it is actually not much different from the regular ones shipped from the factory. However, when each machine is operating, the color of the last batch produced may be slightly different. , but the quality is definitely not bad.”

Xu Wanning asked again: "Under normal circumstances, how are defective products from sock factories handled?"

"I heard from my sister-in-law that two pairs will be given to employees every month as a small benefit."

It can be said that the employees of the sock factory, as well as their families, are not short of socks to wear. After all, several pairs are distributed every month.

"What if we buy the defective products from the sock factory at a very low price and then sell them?"

Xu Wanning said: "I have learned that better wool socks cost [-] cents for women and [-] yuan for men. You can ask your sister-in-law to negotiate. We can buy them for [-] cents or [-] cents and resell them for [-] cents. It’s only [-] cents, cheaper than the ones in department stores, so I don’t have to worry about no one buying it.”

Although the net profit from a pair of socks is only two or three cents, you have to sell hundreds of pairs to earn 100 yuan.

But the advantage of doing this is that it is less risky and less tiring.

As long as the socks are of good quality, you don’t have to worry about no one buying them.

Tang Ting was inspired and said hurriedly: "In addition to socks, the sock factory also produces gloves and hats! Although there are not as many defective products as socks, it is not without them. We can buy them and resell them!"

Just do it. Tang Ting plans to talk to her sister-in-law after she goes back in the evening and ask her to help.

"When you mention it to your sister-in-law, you can discuss with her about weighing it by the pound at the beginning. Wool socks are on the heavy side, and one pound may only cost about seven or eight pairs. If you weigh it by the pound, it will only cost three to four yuan per pound. Maybe buy more. If the factory doesn’t agree, just buy them for a few cents a pair.”

The same goes for gloves and hats.

"When it comes to choosing hats, try to choose good-looking ones, and don't purchase too much at the beginning, because hats are not like socks and gloves. They are necessities and many people are not used to wearing them."

"Uh-huh."

Every time Xu Wanning said something, Tang Ting took note of it carefully.

"In addition, I want to tell you in advance that this sock sale is no longer a group activity in our dormitory. Apart from giving you a few suggestions, I haven't been able to help you with anything else. So, When the time comes for you to share the profits, it can be divided equally among the three of you, without counting my share."

"How can that be done!" Tang Ting refused without thinking: "We have agreed that we are one, how can I not give you a share?"

Chen Qiaoqiao and Gu Meng also disagreed with Xu Wanning's words.

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Before selling clothes, I took on the task of advancing funds and transportation, so you gave me a share of the dividends, and I accepted it with peace of mind. But this time, I have nothing to do with anything. How can you accept dividends if you don’t pay?”

"But...but..."

"There's not that much," Xu Wanning said, "To put it bluntly, the little money you earn from selling socks is actually nothing to me. I'm very happy that you can have this intention. We are indeed I said we would advance and retreat together, but it depends on the situation."

Tang Ting:......

Knowing that you are rich, there is no need to insert a knife into our hearts.

"By the way, Qiaoqiao Mengmeng, if you want to go shopping in Beijing, I can lend you my camera, and you can take more photos as souvenirs."

"Okay, okay." Chen Qiaoqiao clapped her hands happily: "Let's talk about it first, we have to pay for the film ourselves."

A roll of film costs several dollars. Even if Xu Wanning is not short of money, they don't want to take advantage.

"Okay, you can buy the film yourself."

The camera was placed in Xu Wanning's space, but she couldn't take it out so casually, so she pretended to rummage in the closet before giving the camera to Chen Qiaoqiao.

"I'm going home after the exam. If you have anything to ask me about, go to Xujiapuzi Restaurant to find Dongzi. He will notify me."

"Okay! Once our business of selling socks goes smoothly, I'll treat you to dinner."

In the evening, Tang Ting went home, found her sister-in-law, and expressed her thoughts.

"You said you wanted twenty or thirty pairs, I can give them to you, absolutely no problem. But if you want so many at once, it's really hard for me to get them."

"Sister-in-law, I'm not taking advantage of the public, I'm paying for it, buy it!"

Tang Ting emphasized the word "buy" very strongly.

"purchase?"

Tang Ting kept nodding: "Anyway, the defective socks and gloves are piled up in the warehouse, and they are all distributed to employees for benefits in the end. Why don't you sell them to me? I'll buy them for three yuan a pound. This money can be used It serves as working capital for the factory, and it can also be used to buy other things and give them to employees, even if it’s just a pound of rice, it’s much better than socks, right?”

After hearing this, Tang Ting's sister-in-law was also a little moved.

Not to mention anything else, their family has more than ten pairs of unworn socks.

A person only has two feet. As long as he washes them diligently, Sanwushuang is enough to replace them.

Their factory delivers goods every month.

There is still a lot of inventory in the warehouse. My sister-in-law has not estimated the exact number, but there must be dozens of kilograms.

"Well, you come with me tomorrow and I'll ask our director. If he agrees, I'll sell it to you. But don't say three yuan a pound."

Tang Ting didn't know what was going on: "What's wrong? Is three yuan missing?"

She also wanted to lower the purchase price even more. Although the price spread evenly on each pair was only a few cents, it would add up to a lot.

The sister-in-law glared at her: "You are stupid. If you had said the price first, wouldn't you have been in a passive position? What if the director asked you for three yuan and then took the opportunity to raise the price? Let the director quote the price himself. You just have to stick to it. A three-dollar bottom line would be fine.”

Tang Ting breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't too high.

After laughing, she found that she was a little uneasy inside, and asked cautiously: "Sister-in-law, do you think we are harvesting the country's wool?"

"You spent money to buy it, and you didn't take it for free. How can it be considered as harvesting wool?"

Hearing this, Tang Ting felt relieved.

The next day, Tang Ting and her sister-in-law went to the sock factory together. With the cooperation of her sister-in-law and her sister-in-law, Tang Ting finally wrapped up the defective products from the sock factory this month at a price of two yuan per catty.

A total of 120 kilograms, Tang Ting counted 24 large pieces and handed them over.

The host took it with a smile, and did not forget to praise Tang Ting: "Young comrade is really awesome, you can even think of doing this kind of business."

Tang Ting felt guilty.

After all, it was Xu Wanning who came up with such a good idea.
