rebirth of cataclysm

"Haha, young man, this price is already a very low going price, why do you want less? I still treat you as a big wholesaler." The boss chuckled.

"Boss, I believe this is the going price, but when doing business, there are also special prices. We are very sincere. Don't look at us like this. We will not get less goods than others. Again.

Just a little less. If it's all at this price, then which one should I go to to get it? I want to have a long-term cooperation." Hu Mingchen stood in front of the boss and said in an old-fashioned way.

The boss did not immediately respond to Hu Mingchen's words, but looked at him and Hu Jianqiang and thought about it.

Hu Mingchen had two words that impressed the boss, one was "Which company should I look for to get it from?" and the other was "I want long-term cooperation."

When doing business, a fixed source of customers is very important, especially for savvy businessmen, fixed customers are even more important than profits.

For a wholesale business like this, if the profit per transaction is higher, but the customer is not fixed, then the profit may go to the competitor next time. On the contrary, if it is a fixed customer, then the profit per unit price will be

It may be less, but if it becomes the overall amount, you will actually earn more.

"Tell me first how much you can get?" After pondering for a while, the boss asked.

"If the price is right, it will be at least four to five hundred at a time, and the quantity will only be more, not less, in the future." Hu Mingchen said calmly.

"Four or five hundred sheets, four or five hundred sheets... Let me tell you the truth, the small one is 18 cents and the large one is 45 cents. This price cannot be lower. Others can buy a thousand sheets at a time."

, and it’s only this price.”

"A dime and seven cents, how about a big one of four cents?" Although the boss said that the price could not be lowered, Hu Mingchen continued to push the price down.

Hu Mingchen knows that the so-called low price does not exist among businessmen. Profits are like water in a sponge. If you want to squeeze out a little bit, you can always squeeze it out.

A businessman will tell everyone that his price is the lowest, but in fact, it cannot be that way at all.

Isn't there a saying, ask for a high price and pay back on the spot, which is the most vivid and direct game process in the business world.

"Young man, other people pay the same price for one thousand tickets, but you want a lower price for four or five hundred tickets. Hahaha, you're kidding me. I'm a businessman. I can't not make even one or two cents." The boss said.

He didn't relent because of this, but his attitude was obviously much kinder.

"I'm not joking, and I can't be joking. I'm doing my own business, and that kind of comparison doesn't mean much. Sell it to me for 1 dime and 7 cents, and maybe you meet someone else who falls in love with you, but you can't do it for 1 dime and 60 cents."

Sold it to him, right? Anyway, if you don’t tell him, I won’t know. We don’t have conflicts or competition, is that true?” Hu Mingchen’s half-smiling expression revealed a hint of amusement.

Sincerity and seriousness.

The boss was stunned for a moment. He couldn't see clearly the child in front of him.

Is this really from the countryside? Is this guy really a little kid? Ordinary business veterans are not as smooth and sophisticated as him. It is really rare to be able to speak every word in this kind of bargaining process.

.

"Young man, you are really a businessman. I think your ancestors were in business. You should have learned a lot of true stories from your elders, right?" The boss looked at Hu Jianqiang and said to Hu Mingchen.

The boss thought that all the rhetoric was taught by Hu Jianqiang, and he wanted to negotiate directly with Hu Jianqiang.

"Boss, no, no, no one in my family is a businessman." Hu Jianqiang said with a sneer.

"Then he..." The boss pointed at Hu Mingchen.

"He, maybe he is the first one."

"Young man, what kind of business have you done before?" the boss asked Hu Mingchen curiously.

"Never before, this is my first time with you." Hu Mingchen did not pretend to be pretentious, but told the truth.

Hu Mingchen's clothes were shabby and old, and his shoes didn't look that decent. However, the boss in front of him had different feelings and opinions about Hu Mingchen at this moment.

This little baby is neither humble nor arrogant, advancing and retreating. Although it is not majestic, it still exudes a certain special temperament that cannot be described.

Should we treat him specially in terms of price? If this is really his first time doing business, and he can perform in such a calm manner for the first time, then he should have a bright future. Maybe give him some special treatment now, and establish

With the initial willingness to cooperate, there is no telling that there will be unexpected gains in the future.

"Young man, you can, forget it, close the stall business, and after doing what you have done, I will close the shop. Okay, let's just make a friend and pay you the price you said. You can choose how much you want."

After a moment of hesitation, the boss decided to reach a cooperation with Hu Mingchen and give him an unprecedented price.

"Boss, thank you, I believe you will be happy with your decision today." Hu Mingchen said proudly.

After agreeing on the price, Hu Mingchen squatted down and selected the cards he needed.

Although the prices just discussed were for both large and small items, when choosing to get the goods, Hu Mingchen sorted out the exquisite large cards and got only small cards.

The reason for making this choice is based on two considerations.

First of all, of course, there is the problem of consumption power in Duge Township. Even if the wholesale price of such a large card is reduced to 40 cents by the boss, it is still very expensive. If Hu Mingchen takes it, it will cost at least 70 cents or even 80 cents. At that price,

It's a bit beyond the backward consumption scope of Duge Township.

Secondly, Hu Mingchen's capital is very limited. Even if he adds the ten yuan given by Hu Jianqiang, he only has less than eighty yuan. If he takes a big card, the number and variety will appear to be very small, even if it is only

Even if you take a hundred big cards, it will take up more than half.

Because of the difficult choice, it is better to get them all into smaller cards. The quantity can be larger and the types can be richer. If the capital is sufficient in the future, larger cards will be considered.

In the end, Hu Mingchen chose 400 small cards for 68 yuan. Hu Mingchen had to keep the remaining 6 yuan for travel expenses back.

"Boss, I would like to ask if there is a cheaper version of similar gadgets?" After paying the money, Hu Mingchen asked more.

"There was a three-point type that was sold before, but it was too soft and made of soft paper, so it didn't take much to play with. Moreover, the printing was too rough. After selling it for a while, the kids in the city didn't like it very much. Few people took it, so they didn't buy it.

The goods are in stock, what, which one do you want to sell?" the boss replied while counting the money.

"Is there a three-point score? Can you bring me some samples next time?" Hu Mingchen was a little surprised when he heard that there were such cheap things.

Hu Mingchen felt that in remote rural areas like Duge, price may be the important factor, and quality would take a backseat. If the cheap ones are not too bad, they may be more popular.

"Okay, I'll just ask someone to put some in there when I buy goods next time. This is you. If it were someone else, I really don't have that spare time." The boss agreed readily, but he didn't forget it either. Sell ​​Hu Mingchen a favor.

"Thank you, thank you, boss. I will not forget your kindness. Don't worry. From now on, I will only pick up goods from your house. By the way, let me ask one more question. If I can't come, can you come here? Can you help me deliver the goods?"

Hu Mingchen was overthinking this. He had to go to school, and not only did it take time to go back and forth, but he also had to pay for travel. Although he could selectively take the shuttle bus to the city where Sanniang helped sell tickets, but if he didn't pay every time, Letting the boss know will make it difficult for her.

In addition, sometimes the goods were out of stock, and Hu Mingchen couldn't wait and had to take the bus that her Sanniang sold tickets for. Just like today, if Hu Mingchen had to wait for that bus, he would have to come tomorrow.

"Ship it? Boy, if it's just this quantity, it's not cost-effective to ship it. It's not cost-effective for you, and it's not cost-effective for me either."

"Boss, I'm not talking about the post office, I'm talking about taking the goods to the bus station, asking the bus driver to take them with you, and giving him some money. Is this okay?" Hu Mingchen explained.

What Hu Mingchen is talking about is actually a normal state a few years later. Two thousand years later, contact methods have become more convenient. Some people want to save trouble, and car owners want to make more profits, so they have a piggybacking business.

"This... I've never done this before. Besides, it's hard for me to have time to go to the bus station." The boss said awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter, that's what I said. Let's look at this aspect later. I think it would be a waste of time and, to be honest, a waste of fare if I came in person every time. That's it for today. Thank you, and we'll leave. It’s my first time working with someone, so I’m not that familiar with him, so Hu Mingchen can’t overly impose things on others.

After bidding farewell to his boss, Hu Jianqiang helped carry two large packages of small cards, hailed a tricycle at the entrance of the wholesale market and rushed to the train station.

There will be a local train passing through Liangcheng City at 7:30 in the evening, and the train will stop at Duge Station for two minutes. Hu Mingchen and the others decided to take this train back.

When he came, his third uncle Hu Jianqiang paid for the train fare himself. When he returned, he only needed a train ticket of 1.5 yuan, so Hu Mingchen rushed to pay it.

"Third Uncle, it's good enough that you came with me. If I ask you to pay again, I'll be very sorry. I know you also borrowed money today, and didn't you give me ten yuan yesterday? "The money for the train ticket is equivalent to being paid by you, so don't rob me. Take these things back and I can sell them to make money tomorrow. Don't worry about me having no money to spend them." In order to persuade my third uncle Hu Jianqiang. Hu Mingchen gave several reasons in succession for asking him to pay for his return trip.

On the way back, Hu Jianqiang always had the illusion that he could not see through Hu Mingchen and did not know him well. Hu Mingchen's performance today completely overturned his impression and shadow in Hu Jianqiang's mind. Hu Jianqiang felt that this nephew was a bit elusive. Impenetrable.
