I just want to make money

Chapter 40 The lighter is on fire again
Street Office.

Director Chen's Office,

"I heard that your boy's business in Hanzheng Street is doing well. It's only been a few months. I'm very relieved." Director Chen said with a smile.

"It wasn't Director Chen's support back then." Lin Yi said obediently.

"Why are you here today?"

"One is to come to see you, and the second is that I heard that there is a store opposite my store on Hanzheng Street, which is run by the street. Let me ask."

Director Chen nodded to Lin Yi.

"See if I'm fake, but if the store is real."

Lin Yi chuckled.

"There is indeed a house over there. A few years ago, all businesses were stopped. Some people were timid and sold the business and the house to the collective. Why, do you want it, rent it or buy it?" Director Chen briefly introduced Asked about the situation.

"It's okay to rent, and it's okay to buy." Lin Yi said.

"It's easy to talk about renting. I'll write you a note. Go to the office and report it. I can give it to you today. If you buy it, it's collective property. It needs to be discussed at the meeting. I'm afraid it will take a few days. It doesn't matter if it works or not." must."

What Director Chen said is indeed the normal process. Although he is the chief director, he has no right to decide whether to keep the collective property by himself.

"Then I will rent it first, and later you will discuss whether to sell it at the meeting. If you want to sell it, I will buy it." Lin Yi's idea is very simple. If you can rent it, you can use it, and if you can buy it, you can buy it.

Not force.

Director Chen wrote a note, "Okay, take this note to the office."

Lin Yi accepted it with a smile and said goodbye.

I went to the office to apply for a lease, three hundred a year.

in the afternoon,

Li Xiangqian brought a few people to Jiang Wu, opened the new store and packed it up. The condition of the house here is similar to Lin Yi's current store. It is also about [-] square meters, a small two-story building. The only difference is that it is on the south side of the street.

The two families are only tens of meters apart, and they can be seen by looking up.

In the future, it will be convenient to take care of both ends of the operation.

Lin Yi just asked Xiangqian to clean it up briefly, and did not carry out renovations. First, there was not enough time, and second, this place was mainly used as a warehouse, and there were no people living there, so there was no need to clean it up too well.

at night,

Lin Yi went to Director Chen's house again.

Of course I won't be empty-handed this time.

"Director Chen, thank you for cultivating me. Isn't it New Year's Day? I brought you some local specialties for you to try."

Cigarettes, alcohol, snacks, bacon.

It's a local product,
the next day,
The street office held a working meeting, at which the issue of the facade in Hanzheng Street was discussed. Director Chen expressed his opinion:
"The house has been idle for more than ten years. Many places leak rain and wind. It needs to be repaired, otherwise it will be in danger of collapse. I asked the comrades in the office to take someone to have a look. The maintenance fee is at least 500 yuan."

"There is another way to deal with it, which is to sell the house. A few days ago, a businessman on Hanzheng Street approached the street office and asked if he could buy the house. I think it can be disposed of. One is that there are documents on it that let us dispose of idle assets. The second is to make the house function and avoid waste of resources, and the third is to support commercial construction, killing three birds with one stone."

The final result is naturally passed.

Lin Yi got the second front house at a price of [-] yuan, and the [-] rented house was directly counted.

Director Wang of the Flint Factory moved very quickly. On the day Lin Yi bought the new facade, a large truck came to Hanzheng Street with a load of lighters.

Jiang Wu, Li Xiangqian, and the others were notified in advance, and when the truck came, they quickly moved down to move the goods. All these lighters were placed on the new facade.

No. 04596, 1100 pieces, unit price 0.52 yuan.

No. 43668, 1600 pieces, unit price 0.38 yuan.

No. 74566, 3600 pieces, unit price 0.22 yuan.

No. 89242, 500 pieces, unit price 0.85 yuan.

The lighters all have model codes, and the model, quantity and unit price are recorded on the bill of lading. Li Qianqian checked the quantities one by one.

Lin Yi and Director Wang were drinking tea on the second floor.

Li Xiangqian checked everything, and went upstairs with the list, "Brother Yi, after unloading the goods, we have checked everything. There are a total of 36 types of lighters, the quantity is 4.46 pieces, and the total price is 1.5685 yuan."

Lin Yi took the list and glanced at it, and did a quick mental calculation. On average, a lighter cost less than 3 cents. He looked at Director Wang, "Director Wang, is the amount okay?"

"No problem, it matches ours." Factory Manager Wang said with a smile.

"Well, this is our first batch of goods. I wish the sales of lighters are booming, and both of us will make money." Lin Yi raised his teacup and replaced the wine with tea.

Director Wang also raised his teacup.

The next day,

At the entrance of Linyi store on Hanzheng Street, a new sign was erected, selling lighters at a low price, and a new booth was set up, full of lighters.

Lin Yi's store released new products again, and many merchants who picked up the goods couldn't help but come to have a look.

booth,
Filled with all kinds of lighters.

Imitation Zibao, stainless steel shell, copper shell, electroplating, modern pattern, imitation bullet casing, various styles.

There is no disposable lighter these days, and that thing will not appear until the 90s. Today's lighters are mainly made of metal shells, and the flint is used to ignite the oil.

Among men's favorite things,

cars, watches.
Lighters definitely have their place.

After purchasing the goods last night, Jiang Wuli played with a group of guys forward and played with all kinds of lighters. Lin Yi asked these guys to pick two, and he picked several.

Wholesalers come here,

Immediately attracted by the new arrivals.

"Boss, how do you wholesale these lighters?"

Jiang Wu tried his best to promote: "Every price is different, but we can guarantee that our lighters are sold directly by the factory, which is definitely lower than the price of all channels, and each lighter also comes with a pack of ten flints, plus A little tubing."

The small tubing is about the size of eyedrops and contains kerosene, or kerosene. A small tubing can fill a lighter twice, and it costs 5 cents a bottle.

Because there were too many models, Li Xiangqian directly took out the wholesale price list, of course, the price after calculating the profit.

Many of these wholesalers have also sold lighters. Looking at the price, it is indeed much cheaper than what they get from other places.

"Boss, I'll have fifty."

"I want it too, give me two of the same, take it back and try."

Although each person does not ask for much, there are tens or hundreds of wholesalers who come to Lin Yi to pick up goods every day, and each person asks for dozens of lighters, which is not a small amount.

these lighters,
It is indeed cheaper than outside,
Lin Yiliu's profit is only 20.00%,
The profit is much lower than the electronic watches, sunglasses, and even calendars sold before, but this is a long-term business, and as long as the channels are smooth, Lin Yi doesn't have to worry about it later, and Jiang Wu, Li Qiang, and the others can arrange it well.

the end of the first day,
Inventory of lighter sales,
A total of more than 2000 yuan of goods were wholesaled out.

Lin Yi earned more than 500.

less?

If it is other merchants in Hanzheng Street, they will definitely be ecstatic. They can earn 500 a day, and they will be 20 yuan in [-] days. Can you not be excited?

But for Lin Yi,
Just fundamentals.

Sunglasses and calendars, an average of three or four thousand are credited every day.

But sunglasses are too troublesome,
I have to go to the south every once in a while,
As for the calendar,

It is also the last time, as soon as the new year is over, the sales will disappear instantly, so Lin Yi called Li Xiangqian,

"Go forward, this time you go to pull the calendar and tell the printing factory that this is the last batch and won't be printed later."

"You don't want any more?"

Li Xiangqian felt a little pity if he said stop.

"No more, and before the new year, the calendar in hand should be processed as soon as possible. After the year, the calendar will not be sold at all, and the rest will only be thrown into our own hands." Lin Yi said.

"I understand Brother Yi."

Li Xiangqian absolutely believed in Lin Yi's judgment on business.

the next day,
The lighter business was even better than the first day. Perhaps because the news spread, many merchants came to Lin Yi to buy lighters.

The entrance of the new store is very lively.

Two people walked into Hanzheng Street,
One is Director Wang of the Flint Factory, and the other is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a rough appearance and a rough appearance.

The two stood outside the store selling lighters and watched for a while, watching the wholesalers coming in and out, carrying large and small bags, Director Wang smiled and said,
"Hehe, it's selling well. From what it means, our factory's New Year benefits are guaranteed."

There was a backlog of Flintstones before, not to mention workers' benefits, and wages were almost out of pay. Seeing that the end of the year is coming soon, the factory manager Wang was very worried a few days ago.

Now that the lighters are sold, when they get the money, they can give the workers New Year's benefits, so that they won't be blocked by workers at the door and scolded during the New Year.

"Old Liu, do you want them to sell it for you?"

It turns out that the person next to Director Wang is Director Liu of the lighter factory. Lin Yi told Director Wang before that he should tell the lighter factory that if they are willing to let them sell it on an agency basis, the business can really last for a long time. .

Director Liu is counting on his fingers.

"Selling 18 pieces a day, that's [-] pieces a year, which is much more than what we give to the supply and marketing cooperatives. This business has been done before."

Factory Manager Liu grabbed Factory Manager Wang's arm, "Walk around, Lao Wang will take me to find that Boss Lin right now."

Director Wang laughed.
