Chapter 3331 Winter Goes and Spring Comes: Trouble Arises!
Xu Shengli said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, just come with me to see for yourself tomorrow. Small commodities in Wenzhou sell really fast. Yesterday, a college student even wanted to buy my wholesale record book. I haven't discussed it with Liangliang yet!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Zongbao and Lao Cao immediately clamored to go and see it.
Xu Shengli kept his word and the next day he really did take two people to the place where he sold his goods.
However, Xu Shengli did not bring the two men along for nothing. He had them take some of the goods and sell them in other places. In just one day, the three of them sold out all the goods.
The reason it sold so well was entirely due to Xu Shengli's highly targeted approach.
He selected items that students needed for daily life, such as notebooks, pens, towels, and clothes.
The prices of these goods in the store were higher than those at Xu Shengli's stall, and the quality was not as good as what Xu Shengli sold.
Actually, back in the 1990s, there were many small commodity processing plants in various places, but the competition among them was not as fierce as in Wenzhou, so the quality was much worse.
It's just that in the past, it was difficult to transport goods from Wenzhou, and no one had the courage to transport them by railcar from the beginning like Wang Yue did.
The main reason for this is that the Company Law was only introduced before 94, and before that, most businesses were run by sole proprietors.
Individual business owners also lack the financial resources to transport goods from Wenzhou to Beijing, and of course, they don't have the proper permits.
At this time, most self-employed individuals would travel to the south to purchase goods and then personally escort them back by train.
Of course, there were also some capable people who used trucks to transport goods, but the national highways at that time were not as safe as they would be 20 years later. If things went wrong, the goods would be gone while you were resting.
As for using freight cars directly, those with the resources are currently busy with international trade, which basically means shipping goods from China to Russia to sell for money.
There's no need to be like the famous products from Wenzhou; products made by ordinary factories in the north are also very popular in Russia.
Regardless, after helping Xu Shengli sell goods for a day and seeing him earn over 300 yuan after settling accounts, Guo Zongbao and Lao Cao couldn't wait to join in.
Of course, other sellers that Tao Liangliang had found also rushed over, and more than half of the dozens of tons of goods were quickly taken away.
After Xu Shengli gathered all his goods, he didn't leave immediately. He noticed that some of the money he gave to Shen Ranran was then given to Tao Liangliang by Shen Ranran.
Xu Shengli saw it very accurately: there was a hundred-yuan note, a twenty-yuan note, and some change.
Xu Shengli quickly went through the details in his mind; this was exactly one-tenth of the ex-factory price of the batch of goods he had previously acquired.
Furthermore, several small vendors would also purchase goods from her, and Shen Ranran would give some to Tao Liangliang each time the vendors paid.
After Guo Zongbao and Lao Cao left with the goods, Xu Shengli quietly asked Shen Ranran,
"Shen Ranran, why did you give Tao Liangliang money?"
Shen Ranran remembered that Wang Yue had said that they should get more people to help sell the goods so that they could make more money. So she smiled and said, "Wang Yue said that as long as you come early, you will get one-tenth of the purchase price of other people who come to buy goods."
If you want someone else to buy from you, just talk to Brother Wang. If he agrees, you can find someone else to buy from!
After hearing this, Xu Shengli looked at Wang Yue with some hesitation, as if he was conflicted and didn't know how to start the conversation.
He felt that Tao Liangliang received this preferential treatment because he had invested in the beginning, but he hadn't invested, so he wasn't sure if it was appropriate to ask for it.
Wang Yue asked with a smile, "Xu Shengli, we've known each other for so long, and you even helped me revise the script. Just tell me what you need to say, and I'll definitely do whatever I can!"
Seeing Wang Yue's words, Xu Shengli hesitated before saying, "It's like this, I also want to help find people to sell the goods. Do you think I can get the commission from the purchase price?"
Wang Yue was surprised that Xu Shengli had already built up his own network of connections so soon after arriving, so he smiled and said...
"No problem, but since you're not an investor, your commission won't be as high as Tao Liangliang's. I'll give you an 8% rebate, which we agreed on beforehand!"
Xu Shengli felt that half a point was already quite a lot, so he quickly thanked Wang Yue and then took the goods to sell.
When it was time to close up shop in the evening, Xu Shengli knocked on a door to wake someone up.
The door was quickly opened, and a woman peeked out from inside. Upon seeing Xu Shengli, she asked with some surprise:
"Xu Shengli, what brings you here? Is there something you need from me?"
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Shengli still told the truth, "Sister, I see you're also selling things at a stall, right? I have a channel for Wenzhou goods. As long as I find someone to come and pick up the goods, I can get an 8% commission."
"Sister, do you need to stock up on goods? If not, could you do me a favor? You can buy the goods and I'll sell them; I can give you a small commission."
Chen Yan didn't expect Xu Shengli to say that, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "You mean this? No problem for me. Just let me know whenever you need to pick up the goods, and I'll go with you!"
Xu Shengli thanked Chen Yan quickly and went back to wash up. He sold almost all the goods the next day, and on the third day, he called Chen Yan, and the two of them went to the warehouse together.
After learning about the purchase price, Chen Yan found that it was much cheaper to buy goods from her hometown, so she actually made a large purchase.
Xu Shengli still took some goods, but after leaving the warehouse, he took another portion from Chen Yan.
He felt that if he could sell the goods he got from Chen Yan at a low price, it would be extra income for him, and he wouldn't feel like he was letting his friend down.
Chen Yan had made some money from doing business over the years, and since it was just her and her child living together, she looked for a larger apartment.
Moreover, her house was located on the outside, unlike Xu Shengli's house which was deep in the alley. So Xu Shengli could leave his unsold goods at her place every day and pick them up the next morning, without having to put his own goods in the house of four people.
Xu Shengli was initially hesitant, but when he thought about how all four of them were actually selling goods in the house, including Tao Liangliang, and that the goods were in a really messy state, he agreed.
Xu Shengli's easy time didn't last long before he ran into trouble. Last night, he came out of Chen Yan's place and was blocked by someone as soon as he entered the alley!
