I just want to make money

Chapter 39 The Two Deals
Lin Yi returned to the store and found someone waiting for him.

"Brother Yi."

Chen Jianghe cried out excitedly when he saw Lin Yi.

"Hey, you're here, Chicken Feather."

When Lin Yi saw Chen Jianghe, he happily went over to pat Chen Jianghe on the shoulder. Last time he came over, he decided to make silk flower handicrafts. He promised to come for a month, and he came back in only 20 days.

"Brother Yi, we made it."

"Really, let me see."

Chicken Feather took out a large bunch of peach blossom branches from a woven bag, bright red, deep pink, light pink, clusters of petals, flower buds ready to bloom, suitable for size and division, and a few pieces dotted among them The light green leaves make the flower branches more spring-like.

"not bad."

Lin Yi really thought it was pretty.

"Are they all made of leftover materials?" Lin Yi asked.

Chen Jianghe smiled and nodded, "Well, they are all made of scraps. I bought a batch of scraps of silk cloth and asked the villagers to help make them together. Some selected fabrics, some chiseled flower pieces, some chiseled leaves, and some glued flower buds. "

"Flower branches are real peach branches. Our village has peach orchards, and many surrounding villages also have orchards. We go to collect the cut branches. We don't spend a penny. They are dried in the threshing ground and brought back. can be used."

"How much is the cost?" Lin Yi asked.

"Such a bunch costs about 7 cents, and the manual fee I give to the folks is 5 cents a bunch, so a bunch is about [-] cents."

"I came to Brother Yi this time. One is to let Brother Yi see the results, and the other is to ask you to set a price. How much should we sell?"

After Chen Jianghe finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi picked up the bouquet and took a good look at it. He felt that this bouquet of flowers should be sold for 5 yuan retail. It would be cheaper if they were wholesaled in large quantities. The wholesale price of [-] cents should be more appropriate.

Lin Yi expressed his thoughts,

Chen Jianghe laughed, "Brother Yi, I think the same as you. I think this bouquet of flowers retails for one yuan, but the wholesale price is 4 cents in my mind."

"Simao doesn't make much money."

After all, there are still costs for buying raw materials, external transportation, and other messy expenses. Calculated in this way, a bunch of flowers may only earn a dime.

"Hehe, it's a lot to make more than ten cents." Chen Jianghe always adheres to the principle of small profits but quick turnover.

Regarding the price, Lin Yi is not too entangled, "Chicken Feather, I only worry about one thing now, how do we transport silk flowers from Yiwu to Jiangcheng when we make large quantities of silk flowers."

Now Yiwu is not the Yiwu of later generations, and the business has not been liberalized. It will be more than a year before Yiwu has a small commodity market.

Then these silk flowers will be transported to Hanzheng Street in Jiangcheng for sale.

Still old problem,
The state forbids private individuals from long-distance trafficking of goods, for fear of disturbing the order of the domestic market. This regulation was not released until 1982. Now Chen Jianghe and the others produce silk flowers in the name of collective cooperatives, which is no problem.

But what about shipping sales?

Chen Jianghe also showed a distressed look on his face, "Brother Yi, I thought about it for a long time on the way here, but there is no good solution."

at this time,

Two figures came from a distance.

Lin Yi has good eyes, and he can tell who the two are at a glance. When he rolled his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, "There is a way."

"What way?" Chen Jianghe asked.

Lin Yi asked Chen Jianghe to rest first, and then greeted the two of them, "Director Wang, Director Ma, why did you come to Hanzheng Street?"

The two who came were Director Wang of the Flint Factory and Director Ma of the Oil Paper Umbrella Factory whom they had met in the morning. Both of them smiled when they saw Lin Yi.

"Boss Lin, we are here to find you."

"Let's go to the shop and talk." Lin Yi invited the two of them.

When we arrived at the store, looking at the customers around and the wholesalers coming in and out, Boss Wang said, "Boss Lin, the business is really booming."

"It's nothing compared to the two leaders, it's just a small business." Lin Yi said with a smile.

The three went upstairs.

Looking at the mahogany furniture in the house, Director Ma looked around, "I never thought Boss Lin would like old furniture at such a young age?"

"Hanzheng Street started in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Many houses on this street have a history of more than 100 years. I just think these furniture are more suitable here."

Lin Yi lit a charcoal stove to make water, and boiled water for the two factory managers to make tea.

Boss Ma took the lead and said, "I was inspired by Boss Lin's proposal this morning. I came here to see the oil-paper umbrella paintings of Japanese beauties that Boss Lin mentioned. Is there any more?"

"Yes, I'll get one."

Lin Yi went down, and after a while, he brought up a roll of calendars and spread them out on the table. There were women in kimonos on it, and some of them were holding oil-paper umbrellas.

Those oil-paper umbrellas are exquisite in shape and bright in color, with various flowers and pictures of figures and ladies painted on them.

"It's really beautiful." The horse factory manager said.

"This calendar is for you. You can study it slowly when you go back." Lin Yi said with a smile.

Factory Manager Ma got up and left immediately after finishing his business, because it was inconvenient for Factory Manager Wang to discuss the price with Lin Yi next, so he found an excuse that he was walking around Hanzheng Street and then went downstairs.

When Factory Manager Ma left, Factory Manager Wang said: "Boss Lin, I came here mainly to talk to you about the sale of lighters. I intend to let Boss Lin sell them on behalf of you. What do you think of the price?"

Lin Yi stretched out two fingers, "I think, on the wholesale price of the lighter factory, you can give us another 20.00% profit."

"Another 20.00% reduction is too much." Director Wang immediately shook his head.

"Isn't your flint and steel dropped in the same way? How come it's no good to replace it with a lighter?" Lin Yi argued.

"I, don't you think lighters are a good sell?"

Lin Yi smiled,
This one is also a real person.

The two exchanged their tongues, and the final price was set at a 15% reduction.

"Director Wang, I have an idea. You might as well discuss it with Director Liu of the lighter factory. Didn't you say that their lighters are also unsalable now? See if he is willing to join in and let me sell some of them on Hanzheng Street. "

"The business of the lighter factory is doing well. Are you still worried about the sales of flints in your factory?"

This idea actually came to Lin Yi on the way back.

The lighters from the Flintstone Factory only cost 10,000+, and they will be gone if they are sold out, but if they can be sold by the lighter factory at a price negotiated with them, then it can become a long-term business.

The calendar business will stop after the Chinese New Year.

He only has one sunglasses left, and the lighter is also a good business, he thinks it is worth doing.

"This, I can tell Lao Liu, but I can't guarantee it." Director Wang said.

"Of course, you just need to help match the bridge."

business done,

Both are very happy,

After chatting for a while, Lin Yi suddenly said, "Director Wang, I have something to trouble you with, can you please?"

"what's up?"

"Does your factory have big trucks?"

"Yes, I have."

"That's it, can you help me go to Yiwula every month, and I will pay all the fuel and toll fees." Lin Yi said.

Director Wang is also a human being, and he immediately understood what Lin Yi meant.

Let the official car pull the goods,
This year is not rare.

Otherwise, how did so many private goods come and go.

really checked,
It's all those who have no connections and don't matter, and those who have connections can't be checked at all.

"Is there a shipment over there?"

"Some fake flowers are made by a rural cooperative. They have the technology but are not sold. Didn't they find me? I plan to sell them on Hanzheng Street. In fact, there is no profit, but it is too difficult for farmers." Lin Yi said.

As Lin Yi said, he took a bunch of peach blossom branches from the nearby bookshelf and handed it to Factory Manager Wang. Factory Manager Wang looked at the fake flowers, "It's pretty pretty, and it's really well made. How much does a bunch like this cost?"

"Wholesale fifty cents."

Director Wang nodded, "It's so beautiful, it shouldn't be hard to sell."

Director Wang left,
Before leaving, tell Lin Yi that he will contact Lin Yi after he has communicated with the lighter factory.

Chen Jianghe came over in a panic.

"Brother Yi, how are you doing?"

Little eyes full of hope.

Lin Yi patted Chen Jianghe on the shoulder, "It's done, a big truck will go to your village to collect goods every month."

Chen Jianghe jumped up happily.

"Great."

Back on the second floor, Lin Yi had just had a sip of tea when he remembered one more thing. In addition to calendars and sunglasses, he now has lighters and silk flower businesses. If he takes over the children’s clothing business, there will be no room left.

I remembered that when I was buying facades, I had taken a fancy to two sets, and the other set was on the opposite side, only a few tens of meters away from his set, so I might as well buy it and use it to start a new business.

Call Li Xiangqian,
"Qianqian, last time you said that the facade opposite is run by the street, right?"

"Yes, property rights are handled in the streets."

"Is it sold?"

"Probably not, anyway, no one is using it now."

"Come on, follow me to the street office, let's buy another house." Lin Yi immediately took Li Xiangqian out.

Isn't it three or four thousand yuan? Lin Yi doesn't care about this money at all now.
