Chapter 118 Zheng Meiyun’s business plan
Pingyang County, Zhao Wenmu’s new home.
While Zhao Wenmu was practicing Turtle Style Qigong hard, there was a little girl who couldn't hold it in anymore and was about to start her first business in her life.
This little girl is none other than Zheng Meiyun.
My mother is now in good health and does not need her to stay at home to take care of her. The little girl can also do what she wants to do.
"Meiyun, do you really want to set up a stall?"
Zheng Guangming still hopes that she will go back to school, but Zheng Meiyun is a girl with ideas. Once she has made a decision, she will not waver easily.
"Well, brother, I've seen it. It's quite profitable to set up a stall in a convenience market!"
She is not idle these days. She wanders around the convenience market every day, looking for business opportunities.
In this era, there are business opportunities everywhere, and a smart girl like her quickly found the one that suits her.
That is selling clothes.
Nowadays, the streets are full of military green, blue-brown and khaki workers' uniforms and military uniforms. Clothes in other colors are very rare.
Every time she looked at these crowds, she would think of the beautiful clothes Zhao Jing wore when she saw them at Zhao Wenmu's house.
She often came to visit Zhao Wenmu with Zheng Guangming.
I have been to Shanqian Village many times.
The beautiful clothes Zhao Wenmu bought from Youyi Shopping Mall and the foreign-style clothes Mr. Rong sent from Xiangjiang made her envious.
As a girl with normal aesthetics, I naturally feel that bright, bright, and fashionable clothes look better.
No, they are totally different!
Compared with these beautiful clothes, today's clothes are far from comparable in terms of beauty or comfort.
So, she came up with the idea of selling clothes.
Go south!
If you go to those western-style places and buy nice clothes, you will definitely make a lot of money in Pingyang County!
But she is just a little girl, with no capital and no ability to go to the south to purchase goods.
Maybe the person and the money will disappear by then!
Naturally, Zheng Guangming could not let her go to the south alone.
So she decided to do the next best thing and sell buttons.
Small buttons are also important decorations on clothes!
There is a button factory in Quancheng City, and she can ask someone to make better-looking buttons.
For this reason, she hasn't left home for several days, so she just draws pictures at home.
Now that the pattern is finally finished, a new problem arises. As a little girl, how can she have the ability to have someone make a batch of buttons?
The only person she could think of who had this ability was Zhao Wenmu.
So the little girl came to Zhao Wenmu's house holding her own drawing.
Zhao Wenmu took the design draft and looked through it carefully.
The little girl's design is quite satisfactory, mainly adding red and colorful buttons. Other aspects have not changed much, except for adding some wavy patterns or auspicious cloud patterns.
Don't underestimate this little bit of innovation. Even a few drops of hot oil in a plate of stagnant water can produce amazing movements.
Zhao Wenmu took a pen and paper and drew a few sketches.
One is a heart-shaped or five-pointed star-shaped button, and the other is a smiley-shaped button. The colors are all the simplest solid colors, such as pink or purple.
In hindsight, it looks very rustic.
At the moment, he is very arrogant.
Especially suitable for children.
Zhao Jing and Rong Xinyi were also ready to move after reading it. Rong Xinyi imitated the clothes sent by Rong Renyi and designed a horn button.
Zhao Jing designed a leaf pattern on ordinary buttons. This pattern is printed transparently on the buttons, and the overall pattern is a wood grain background.
"Wow! This looks good!"
Zhao Jing’s design draft received unanimous praise from everyone.
"Meiyun, how are buttons sold in the market now?"
Zhao Wenmu naturally had to understand the market conditions first.
Zheng Meiyun took out several buttons from her pocket, some were large and some were small, all were round black or gray buttons.
"Small ones cost 2 cents, big ones cost 4 cents."
"The price is similar to that of the supply and marketing cooperative, but no tickets are required. A stall can sell about 100 pieces a day."
Zheng Meiyun observed very carefully and conducted thorough market research.
In this era, almost everyone makes their own clothes, and buttons are in great demand.
"I asked many people, and everyone thought these buttons were ugly."
She added another sentence, seemingly worried that Zhao Wenmu was not optimistic about her entrepreneurial project.
Zhao Wenmu nodded.
Hand her back the design drawings, including those drawn by others.
"You should refine these design drafts, including the specific size and material of each button. You must be careful!"
"It's best to have several different sizes of each style."
"If you are not sure about the size, ask the tailors what types of buttons are used to make various clothes."
"Then make a detailed plan for me and I will invest in you!"
The instructor turned around the high-backed chair.
The little girl's entrepreneurial project is very reliable, and Zheng Meiyun is a business wizard herself. Entrepreneurship mentor Zhao Wenmu naturally wants to invest in her.
Not only must you invest, but you must also hold it firmly in your hands.
"Really!"
Zheng Meiyun was a little in disbelief, and then nodded quickly.
"Thank you, third brother! I'll go back and prepare now!"
After saying hello to everyone, she ran out again.
Only the splash of dust in the yard proved that someone had been there.
"This kid!"
Zheng Guangming sighed sheepishly.
A few days later, Zheng Meiyun came again, this time without Zheng Guangming.
"Third brother, I chose these six styles, each with three sizes, a total of 18 different styles."
Zheng Meiyun reported seriously.
Zhao Wenmu opened the booklet.
I saw that Zheng Meiyun chose leaf pattern buttons, pink heart-shaped buttons, red five-pointed star buttons, ordinary red buttons, ordinary colored buttons and wavy gray buttons.
The last one also has a dedicated line of explanation text, "Now most clothes are green or brown. For matching, gray buttons are still in great demand, so this design is retained."
"In addition, the leaf pattern buttons are made of light gray, which is more versatile."
The little girl did not blindly pursue good looks. She made this series of choices for the sake of sales.
"Third brother, I have also inquired with those vendors. Their purchase price is about 60% of the selling price. The actual ex-factory price is estimated to be no more than 40% of the selling price."
In other words, the actual ex-factory price of a button priced at 2 cents does not exceed 8 cents.
This is for sure. Zhao Wenmu estimates that the actual ex-factory price is 5 cents, which is quite a lot.
"Meiyun, go back and prepare. We will go to the city in two days!"
With this ex-factory price, Zhao Wenmu had a good idea when negotiating the price with the other party.
…
Zhao Jing and Rong Xinyi will take exams in more than ten days. These two sisters hardly leave the house these days, sitting in the study room reading every day.
"Daughter-in-law, Ah Xin, do you want to go to the city together?"
"How many days have you both been at home!"
