Rebirth 83: Hundreds of billions of net worth, starting from setting up a stall
Chapter 74 The night market is cold
The next day.
Li Cunxi, Huang Yan, and Jin Wen divided their troops into three groups and went to the streets where the nine night markets were held to inquire about the stalls.
noon.
The three of them met at Jin Wen's house.
"The three places I went to are still in the preparation stage and will open as soon as next month."
"Mine is about the same. The fastest one will be half a month later. The stalls are quite sufficient."
Jin Wen and Huang Yan reported one after another.
Li Cunxi said softly: "I have a Luoma Street Night Market here. It will start in three days. There will be a total of eighty stalls. The stall fee is only fifteen months. The first three months are tax-free. Now only twelve stalls are rented out."
Logically speaking, Luoma Street, next to the entrance to the vegetable market, has department stores, restaurants, and vegetable markets. It is also considered a business district in Nancheng. The night market is held here, and there should not be so few people. .
"It seems that no one is optimistic about this night market."
Jin Wen looked sad.
Li Cunxi said in surprise: "Don't you like the night market?"
Jin Wen hesitated and did not dare to speak.
Snapped.
Li Cunxi slapped him on the back of the head: "If you fart, hurry up."
"You asked me to say it, so I don't want to get angry."
Jin Wen cleared his throat and analyzed seriously: "Everyone is very tired after a day's work. We must go home early to rest. Who has time to go to the night market? If you ask me, this night market is just a waste of time and will not achieve anything big."
"I agree with Brother Wen. After eight o'clock, the department stores are all closed, and stalls are set up to sell to ghosts."
Huang Yan also scorned the night market.
Snapped.
Jin Wen jumped up and slapped Huang Yan on the head: "Did brother ask you? You just made random comments."
"Don't you also question Brother Xie?"
Huang Yan looked aggrieved.
Jin Wen defended: "I just questioned the night market. When did I question Brother X? Don't slander me. I 100% support Brother X's decision."
"But.."
"Okay, you two, stop arguing, clean up, and let's go to the state-owned factory to set up a stall."
Li Cunxi interrupted the argument between the two.
Judging from the attitudes of the two people.
He probably knows why the night market stalls can't be rented out.
In the 80s, people had no idea about night markets, and therefore had no confidence in the flow of people and transactions in night markets.
Even if some vendors intend to set up stalls at the night market, they will take a wait-and-see attitude a few days before the night market starts to avoid wasting their 15 yuan.
But the higher-ups never plan to open a night market without a clear goal. Naturally, the people and tourists coming to Beijing have this demand.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the night market will explode, and the supply of stalls will exceed demand.
He could pool some money, buy some stalls, and earn some transfer fees.
The Second State-owned Steelmaking Plant in Beijing.
It was lunch break, and many young people were eating and visiting the market in front of the factory.
"Brother Xie, this place is nice, let's put it here."
After Jin Wen finished speaking, he looked at the vegetable seller at the stall: "Uncle, please give way over there. Let's even out the space. Can we make it work?"
"No, I still want to put things in your place. Let's go to the end of the street."
The vegetable seller didn't give Jin Wen any face.
Jin Wen felt that he had lost face and wanted to argue.
Li Cunxi held his shoulders and said softly: "Uncle, please weigh me two pounds of potatoes and four pounds of tomatoes. These cucumbers and eggplants are also good. They are both one pound."
"Okay, wait a moment."
The vegetable seller followed Li Cunxi's instructions and weighed out the four types of vegetables: "Eighty-three cents."
Li Cunxi took out the change and counted out ninety cents: "I'll give you ninety cents. You don't have to change it. Then you're busy. We'll find a stall elsewhere."
"Oh, look, you young man, why are you looking for a stall elsewhere? Set up here. It's close to the factory gate. Business is good. I'll make room for you."
The vegetable seller moved all the vegetables on the right to the left, freeing up nearly one and a half meters of space.
"Thank you uncle."
Jin Wen and Huang Yan worked together to move a long table from the cart and put all the jeans and various bat shirts on it.
Li Cunxi took another wire mesh from the cart, opened the sack containing the toad mirrors, and placed all the toad mirrors on the wire mesh.
"Cough cough."
Li Cunxi cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Handsome guys and beauties, take a look, take a look, Apple brand jeans, factory direct sales, limited quantity, first come first served."
"Toad mirrors imported from the United States, the same model for Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, originally priced at 51, are now sold at half price, [-] pairs, only [-] pairs, once sold out."
.....
Soon a little girl was attracted, touching a pair of women's jeans, and asked: "Is this really Apple brand?"
Li Cunxi picked up the trouser legs and pulled them hard. The trouser legs stretched smoothly: "Just look at the material. Those cheap [-] or [-]-year-old pants on the market don't have this kind of elasticity. You can rest assured that they are genuine Apple trousers."
"Well, the material is indeed much better than the forty bucks I paid for this one."
The little girl showed off the denim bell-bottoms she was wearing.
Li Cunxi echoed: "You get what you pay for. However, the material is so poor, but it looks so good on you. If you buy a pair of our genuine Apple pants, you will be crazy."
"Hate."
The little girl looked shy, but she was so excited that she asked with a smile: "You said direct sales from the factory, how much does one cost?"
"Department store counters sell for 120 each, and our factory promotes new products with discounts of [-]. As long as [-], you can tell whether it's a good deal or not."
"Eighty is indeed cheaper than at the counter, but for me, it's still not cheap."
The little girl looked hesitant.
The steel factory's monthly salary is only 40 yuan. To buy a pair of pants, she can't take money from home for at least two months, and her parents will definitely tell her off.
"Hey, the price is too expensive for you, so you can only wear cheap pants. It's a pity that you have such a good figure, cheap pants can't bring it out."
Li Cunxi pretended to be sorry.
Seeing this, Jin Wen started to boo, "There's nothing wrong with that. My little girl is good-looking and beautiful. If she puts on this brand of jeans again, oh, I don't even dare to think about it. I'm afraid I'll be fascinated to death."
The little girl was told that she was ready to make a move, but she remembered the wallet in her pocket and said with a wry smile: "Do you think sixty is okay?"
"Sixty definitely won't work."
Li Cunxi refused.
The little girl could only put down her jeans and prepare to leave. Li Cunxi changed the subject: "But our manufacturer has an event where you can take away the pants cheaply or even without spending money."
"what activity?"
the little girl asked excitedly.
Li Cunxi walked out of the stall and whispered in the little girl's ear: "We are now having a sales promotion. You help us find customers. If you find a customer and the transaction is successful, I will give you five yuan cheaper. The more you find, the more customers you find." The greater the discount I can give you.”
"really?"
The little girl tried her best not to laugh.
She knew exactly which woman in the factory had the most treasury. If she pulled out a few of them, she would get the pants for free.
"Of course, if you can find sixteen people to buy trousers, you will get a pair for free and pretend to be your grandson."
Li Cunxi looked like he had sacrificed his life generously.
"Wait."
The little girl ran back to the factory.
Seeing this, Jin Wen came over and said anxiously: "Brother Xie, you are confused. If she really finds sixteen people, won't we lose eighty?"
"But those sixteen people can bring us more than 800 net income. Eighty for eight hundred, it's definitely not a loss."
Li Cunxi explained patiently.
There is too little traffic at the entrance of the state-owned factory, so it is completely unrealistic to rely on price reductions to promote products, which will cause a rush effect.
Then he adapted measures to local conditions, taking advantage of the fact that state-owned factory employees knew each other and knew everything about them, and adopted a head-pulling strategy to maximize the potential customers.
"Sixteen, eighty, eight hundred, Brother Xie, wait a moment, my brain is a little out of use, one, two, twenty, two, eight, one hundred and six."
Jin Wen started counting with his fingers.
Li Cunxi continued to greet the guests.
