Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

Xia Chuntao's plan is to sell lucky bags, which is equivalent to modern blind box sales. She plans to launch three grades of lucky bags: high, medium and low. Each grade is divided into lady bags (for ladies) and universal bags (for household use). The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in ten days, and Xia Chuntao decided to sell lucky bags on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The problems to be solved now: selecting goods, preparing packaging, finding stalls, calculating costs, and... promotional methods, this is also very important! If it can't be sold, Xia Chuntao will be a time traveler in vain!

"Chuntao! Tell me honestly, is this idea of ​​yours...did...Laojun tell you?" Li Yue'e approached Xia Chuntao and asked quietly.

Xia Chuntao rolled her eyes, "Laojun doesn't care about his business, that's what I suddenly thought."

"Did Laojun really send you a message?" Obviously, Li Yue'e's thoughts have gone astray.

Xia Chuntao:......

I am really not the Golden Horned King, sisters!

"What are you talking about, Sister Yue'e, you still don't know who I am? If I were a god, why would I still be doing business? Why don't you just change some money to spend!"

"So, Sister Yue'e, can you borrow some money?" Xia Chuntao chuckled, "I don't have much money now, and I'm afraid I won't have enough money to purchase goods."

"How much to borrow? I'll make the decision within fifty taels!"

Q: How does it feel to have a friend who is rich and generous?

Answer: Cool!

"Sister Yue Nga is so righteous!" Xia Chuntao raised her thumb and praised: "If everyone could treat me like Sister Yue Nga, would I become the richest man in Dai Viet in a few days?"

Li Yue'e was amused: "You two-faced fool, what are you dreaming about?"

Xia Chuntao took Li Yue'e's arm and shook it, "The Erpilian named Xia wants to ask my sister to come with me to purchase goods tomorrow. Can I do it?"

Li Yue'e chuckled and said, "You can act like a spoiled brat, so why should I not respond?"

Xia Chuntao's face was not red, her heart was not beating, and she was laughing.

There are ready-made resources, so of course you can’t let them go!

Early the next morning, after Xia Chuntao entrusted the children to the care of Sister Zhao, she met Li Yuee at the entrance of the village, rented Lao Zhengtou's oxcart, and set off for the county seat.

Xiyang County is considered a wealthy county among the counties under Rongcheng. Xiyang County has eight villages under its jurisdiction, and its county seat area and permanent population are twice that of ordinary counties and cities.

Xia Chuntao is particularly happy every time she goes to the county town and sees the bustling streets.

Only when there are people, there is business! Where there are many people, it is easier to make money.

The two went to Yunlai Grocery Store first, and Li Yuee introduced Xia Chuntao to shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang is chubby and has small eyes. He smiles at everyone and his eyes narrow into slits when he smiles.

With this look, if you don’t do business, you will lose!

Xia Chuntao got straight to the point: "Shopkeeper Wang, I want to see the slow-moving goods in your store."

Shopkeeper Wang was stunned for a moment, "Oh, then follow me to the warehouse!"

Xia Chuntao and the other two followed shopkeeper Wang through the shop and headed to the yard at the back. The yard should be about 200 square meters, divided into several warehouses.

Shopkeeper Wang led the two of them into one of the rooms, "All the slow-moving goods are here. If you sincerely want them, the price can be negotiated."

Looking around, you can see everything from needles and threads to pots and pans. Reasons for not selling: either the price is too high or the quality is defective.

Xia Chuntao and Li Yuee carefully selected: needlework, purses, accessories, small makeup mirrors, cups and plates, exquisite makeup, and so on.

Xia Chuntao: "Shopkeeper Wang, can you give me a price?"

Shopkeeper Wang was unambiguous and quoted directly: "I'll give it to you at 50% off the original price."

Xia Chuntao shook his head, "50% off is too high. Look, half of the warehouse has been emptied by me. Doesn't it feel good to you?"

Shopkeeper Wang hesitated for a moment: "Then... the minimum is 40% off, it can't be any lower!"

Xia Chuntao added: "Look, your warehouse has accumulated so much dust. These items must have been there for at least a year or two, so the money you spent on purchasing them at that time was also spent on these items. I bought these It not only helps you clean up your inventory, but also helps you withdraw funds. What do you think?"

Shopkeeper Wang thought for a while and asked, "How much does Madam Xia think is appropriate?"

Xia Chuntao made a sign of "one".

"10% off? That's not possible, it's too low! I can't explain it to my employer at such a low price." Shopkeeper Wang was worried, "The minimum is 30% off, if you don't want it, forget it!"

I have found out the bottom line of Shopkeeper Wang, so I will give up as soon as possible!

Xia Chuntao gritted her teeth: "Shopkeeper Wang is also a cheerful person. Since we have already talked about this, I have no point in bargaining anymore. I will do what Shopkeeper Wang said, 30% off!"

Shopkeeper Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief. These slow-moving goods are indeed useless here. It is always good to get most of them out.

Xia Chuntao seemed to have thought of something, "Shopkeeper, I plan to sell these things on the Mid-Autumn Festival. I haven't found a suitable place to store them yet. Can you find me a separate warehouse to store them for a few days?"

"This is no problem! What about the payment?"

"This is what I think, either I will pay half of the price first and pay the other half when I pick up the goods on the same day; or I will pay the entire price in one lump sum now and you can give me the key to the warehouse and I can pick up the goods at any time. Don't worry, I can use the warehouse for ten days at most."

This is obvious: there are several places in the warehouse that are idle, and it doesn't matter how many days it takes. It would be best if the payment for the goods can be settled now.

Shopkeeper Wang thought for a while and said: "Then settle the matter now. Our store also has a warehouse opposite Longxing Street, just on the street. I'll ask the guys to move your goods over there. If you plan to set up a stall, There is a place outside the warehouse. There are officials collecting stall fees every day. The location is good, and you can get 150 cash a day."

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Wang! Also thank your boss for me." Xia Chuntao bowed her hands and said, "Your boss is very discerning, so I will save you a lot of trouble by asking you to be the shopkeeper!"

Shopkeeper Wang was delighted when he heard this, "Ms. Xia, you're welcome. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come. I'll give you the best discount!"

The stalls and warehouse are all done together!

I feel great!

Li Yuee's expression was dull throughout the whole process, but just looking at Xia Chuntao, her little mouth opened and closed like that, the business was concluded!

Then, the two went to Daxi Trading Company. This time Xia Chuntao used a 10% discount to buy a batch of last-minute goods. The tail goods here are different from those in modern times. They are mainly goods that the firm purchased more than planned and have not been sold due to various reasons. There is no problem with the goods themselves.

Not only that, Xia Chuntao also made two large half-person-high full moon lanterns and several small lanterns from the store.

Well, decorating the stall is indispensable, it has to be eye-catching!

Finally, the two went to a large car shop. Because it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, some merchants want to sell off their remaining goods and go home. This gave Xia Chuntao a big advantage.

By the time all the goods were put into the warehouse, it was already mid-afternoon. The two of them drove back in Lao Zhengtou's ox cart.

Li Yue'e was a little worried, "Chuntao, you bought so many goods, what if you can't sell them?"

This time Xia Chuntao spent a lot of money. He took out ninety taels himself and borrowed Li Yue'e's fifty taels. Except for a few taels of spare silver, the rest was basically spent.

How could Xia Chuntao not know what Li Yue'e understood.

You must take risks when doing business. If you don’t want to take any risks, just stay at home!

The key is, can you bear this risk?

Xia Chuntao thought about it. If she couldn't sell it, she would sell it at a low price. Even if she had to pay some compensation, she still had to pay back the money she borrowed from Li Yuee.

When a friend lends you money, it is a sign of trust in you.

However, trust cannot withstand casual squandering.
