Chapter 758: Business Situation in the Courtyard
While Wang Tiedan was preparing for the opening of the electrical appliance city, the people in Yard 95 were also busy.
Envious Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng visited Sha Zhu again and reluctantly offered him an eighty-eighty-eighty-eighth-day salary.
Sha Zhu was unwilling at first.
However, he always felt uncomfortable when he saw his arch-enemy Xu Damao inviting his son and daughter to his home to watch color TV every day.
Two color TVs, three thousand yuan, you can buy them if you are patient.
There is a washing machine for washing clothes, a refrigerator for eating popsicles, and air conditioning in the summer.
He has two sons, one is with He Daqing and the other is with himself. He cannot favor one over the other, so he has to buy double for both.
If that's the case, the pressure is too great.
As an old father, Sha Zhu couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.
Of course, the effect is immediate.
As soon as Sha Zhu and his apprentice arrived, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's Sichuan restaurant became extremely popular that night.
Another person who was busy was Xu Damao.
Xu Damao's original plan was to start with seafood wholesale, and then open a seafood restaurant after accumulating a certain amount of capital.
But I didn't expect that I would start a business with Liu Haizhong and earn more than 30,000 yuan in just two months.
Thirty thousand is nothing to Wang Tiedan, and it is definitely not enough to buy a restaurant and open a store.
However, it is now possible to buy a courtyard house with two or three entrances, renovate it and open a seafood stall.
Xu Damao has never neglected the seafood business and hired a driver to help with the business.
He was busy managing the rebar business and looking for a suitable courtyard house.
Of course, there are concerns.
The lifeline of the steel business is in Liu Haizhong's hands, so he has to be on guard.
Compared with the first three, Banggeng’s shoe store business is a bit disappointing.
Expanding and operating again is the only solution that Banggeng can think of.
I have a store next to his, so I will buy a large batch of goods and not only give away insoles but also offer a promotion at a low price.
You purchase less goods, so the cost is high; I purchase more goods, so the purchase price is low.
See who can beat who.
When you all go bankrupt, he will raise the price and take over the shoe market in one fell swoop.
This is what Banggeng thought and did.
In order to purchase goods, he took out all the 4,000 yuan profit he had accumulated before. After paying off the loan, he originally had 5,000 yuan left, but he squandered it a lot in recent days, so only 4,000 yuan was left.
At the same time, Banggeng also asked Qin Huairu to help him raise money.
Not much, just six thousand. I'll collect ten thousand so I can go and purchase the goods.
Qin Huairu was very worried.
Six thousand is not enough, but five thousand is okay. I mortgaged all four rooms in my house and was able to barely get the loan.
But what if you lose money?
Qin Huairu was very conflicted.
"Mom, don't worry, you won't lose money. Shoes are in great demand now, and there's no need to worry about sales. Look at the last time I bought a thousand pairs of shoes, and they were almost all sold out in just ten days.
If I lower the price, won’t it sell faster? Isn’t that right?”
BangGeng explained.
"But what if it can't be sold?" Qin Huairu was still a little worried.
"How could it be that they can't be sold? I have the cheapest shoes of the same kind. People are stupid to buy expensive ones instead of cheap ones. Besides, even if they can't be sold, I can just sell them at wholesale price. The most I can lose is the shipping fee. They won't go bad, right?"
Qin Huairu nodded, that was indeed the truth.
As the mother and son were discussing, Jia Zhang, who was eating fried chicken, spoke.
"My dear grandson, if you lower the price, can you still make money? Don't lose money?"
"Grandma, don't worry. I've calculated it. Even if the price is reduced, I can still make at least seven or eight yuan per pair. With this order, I can make at least two thousand yuan."
"More than 2,000, really? How much fried chicken do you need to buy?"
Jia Zhang still couldn't believe it.
"Grandma, once I succeed in this business, I'll let you eat fried chicken every day!"
Hearing Banggeng's words, Jia Zhang's eyes lit up.
"Okay, grandma agrees to your loan."
As he spoke, he took out the house deed from under the bedside table, and Jia Dongxu's name was still written on it.
"Huai Ru, go get a loan for Bang Geng. All four houses are mortgaged. Get as much as you can. We have to trust Bang Geng!"
Qin Huairu took the house deed but didn't move. She felt worried again.
"Bang Geng, these are all our family's belongings. If you bring them here, will these shoes be in danger on the road?"
"No! I'm an old customer."
Bang Geng said confidently, "And this time, a friend and I will go there in person to watch the cargo being loaded onto the train. With me escorting it and a train police on board, there will definitely be no problems."
Qin Huairu nodded, feeling relieved.
"Okay, then I'll go get the loan, but you have to be careful."
"Got it, Mom. I'll be careful."
……
Hepingli, Liu Haizhong’s home.
Liu Haizhong picked up the fried chicken leg and threw it back into the plate with a bit of disgust.
"You guys eat it, I don't want to eat it anymore!"
"Old man, what's wrong? You haven't eaten much, why are you full?" asked the second aunt.
Liu Haizhong wiped his hands and said, "The old saying is right, if you eat too much of the delicacies from land and sea, you will get sick of it. The same goes for fried chicken. I have been eating it for so many days, I can't keep eating it. Forget it, I won't eat it today."
"Dad is right. You just can't eat too much. I think Wang Tiedan's business is not as good as before. I think it won't be long before it becomes just like an ordinary restaurant. Unlike you, Dad, the more customers you accumulate, the bigger your business will be. As long as the relationship lasts, it will last forever."
"My brother is right. Wang Tiedan has six stores. Even though he makes a lot of money, in fact, there are hundreds of people in his village. On average, he doesn't make much money. He is far behind our father."
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu echoed together and flattered him at the same time.
Liu Haizhong nodded and agreed.
However, this is a time to be humble.
"What are we comparing? What's the point of comparing? Wang Tiedan runs a catering business and we run a building materials business. We are not in the same industry. There is no need to compare."
"Dad, with your ambition, I think you can become the boss of the building materials industry. By then, you will earn tens of thousands of dollars a day."
"Wouldn't that be several million per year?"
When Liu Guangfu heard Liu Guangtian say that, he pretended to be surprised.
"Of course. I think in a few years, people will have to call our dad Liu Bancheng."
Liu Guangfu took a deep breath and his throat rolled.
But I was secretly complaining in my heart, wondering when did my second brother become so good at flattery.
The bangs were already fluttering at this time.
This name is very familiar to him. He also fantasizes that one day he will be like Lou Bancheng, with cars picking him up and dropping him off, looking very stylish.
However, at this moment, Liu Guangfu changed the subject.
"That's not right, Dad. Xu Damao and you split the profits 50-50, so he makes the same amount of money as you. I feel sorry for you. Without you getting the steel out of the rebar factory, he's nothing. Why should he get so much of the profits?"
"That's right, Dad, you gave him too much. We can just go to the construction site, find the person in charge, and negotiate the price.
Dad, I think you've made a big mistake."
