Chapter 017 Don’t worry about me doing things
In the flash of lightning, Ding Zhiyuan blurted out without thinking: "It's very coke!"
"Very coke?" Boss Wang laughed dumbly. This name is a bit interesting.
"Yes, very coke!" At this point, Ding Zhiyuan simply made the mistake, "very, means extraordinary and happy. It means that our product is not only extraordinary, but also makes people happy after drinking it."
Li Weidong was dumbfounded as he listened, and his admiration for his nephew was like a torrent of river water.
These days, he has been following Ding Zhiyuan, almost inseparable. Others may not know it, but he knows very well that everyone has forgotten to give this soda a name!
My eldest nephew can make up such a set of lies in the blink of an eye, he is indeed a college student!
The liar is not scary, but the liar is educated...
Boss Wang didn't think too much and drank the rest of the soda with great interest. He burped with unfinished content and nodded: "The name sounds grand enough and tastes good, but..."
Ding Zhiyuan just felt relieved, but suddenly raised his mind again, but asked calmly: "But what? Brother Wang, tell me what you have to say."
Boss Wang said: "I think you are a real person, Xiao Ding, so I won't beat around the bush with you.
Your Very Coca-Cola is a new brand, and no one has heard of it before. I’m afraid that everyone won’t recognize it. What if I buy it and can’t sell it?”
"What do I mean?" Ding Zhiyuan laughed, "Brother Wang, do you think this will work? I'll sell the soda at your place without taking any money from you.
If it sells well, let's talk about it. If it doesn't sell well, return the soda to me.
If we don't do business with each other, we should just make friends."
"Brother Ding, you are the one!" Boss Wang gave a thumbs up, "Sure, let's do it!"
After winning the first battle, Ding Zhiyuan's steps became much lighter.
However, Li Weidong chased him and complained: "No, how can you give it away for free? Are you not making money?"
Ding Zhiyuan said: "Who said it was a free gift?"
Li Weidong was extremely anxious: "It's not for free, but where's the money?"
Ding Zhiyuan said helplessly: "You also heard from Boss Wang just now that our soda is a new brand, and he is afraid that it will fall into his hands after buying it.
Therefore, we need to reassure him so that he can help us sell goods with confidence and boldness."
Seeing what Li Weidong wanted to say, Ding Zhiyuan added: "Don't just stare at the small profits in front of you all day long. If you want to make big money, you have to take a longer view.
In your eyes, I gave Boss Wang 100 bottles of soda for free, but in my opinion, I only used the price of 100 bottles of soda to expand a channel business.
Today I gave away 100 bottles of soda for free. Tomorrow, Boss Wang might be able to help me sell a thousand bottles, ten thousand bottles or even one hundred thousand bottles.
If you want to take something, you must first give it to it. This means that if you want something, you must give it to the other person temporarily.
The same goes for doing business. If you live alone and only take advantage without suffering losses, others will naturally be unwilling to deal with you, and you will be unable to move forward.
Do you still feel distressed when you think about it this way?"
Li Weidong muttered in a low voice: "The wool comes from the sheep, which makes you so mysterious."
Ding Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Yes, the wool comes from the sheep. Let me tell you another truth, there is no free lunch in the world, and free is often the most expensive. You must remember it."
Li Weidong immediately showed the same look in his eyes and said with a mean smile: "I'm just telling you, you have so many ambitions, how can you do a loss-making business? When you say that, I feel relieved."
Ding Zhiyuan: "……."
I tried so hard to teach you about business, but you didn’t grasp the key point at all. But at least one thing is right. If you follow your nephew, it’s impossible to do loss-making business.
After coming out of Boss Wang's place, it seemed as if a trick had been taken. Except for one canteen where the man was absent and the woman could not take charge, the remaining nine canteens all agreed to help with trial sales, just like Boss Wang.
Ding Zhiyuan and Li Weidong bought a total of 100 bottles of soda this time, 10 bottles for each house, and they were all "sold" in one afternoon.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sun had just set and they could still see the road clearly, the two of them hurried back.
When approaching Xianhua Town, Li Weidong said with some anxiety: "Let's do this, will Lao Liao be willing?"
Ding Zhiyuan snorted and said: "There is no turning back when the bow is fired, so it's not up to him now."
Li Weidong asked again: "Shall we continue tomorrow?"
Ding Zhiyuan nodded and said: "We have only visited 11 houses today. It's still early. We must finish running."
Li Weidong hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "I think it's too slow for just the two of us. How about I call a few guys together?"
Ding Zhiyuan glanced at him and knew all about his little Jiujiu.
However, he did feel that there was not enough manpower, and the county town was lucky. They worked hard and could finish the job in as little as two or three days, and as much as four or five days.
But in the vast rural areas outside the county seat, the two of them alone may not be able to cover the entire area by the end of the year.
Qucheng is a large county. Not counting Qucheng Town, the county seat, there are a total of 30 towns and more than 1,000 villages.
The total population of the county is nearly 900,000, and the county population is only 80,000. More than 90% of the remaining population is distributed in rural areas.
Even Lijiazhuang, the poorest and most remote village in the county, has a canteen, let alone other villages.
As for some large villages, there must be more than one canteen.
Therefore, even if Li Weidong didn't take the initiative to mention this matter, Ding Zhiyuan would do it.
However, he really couldn't worry about Li Weidong's bad friends. In the end, he didn't make any money, but caused him a lot of trouble.
"I only want people who are hard-working and can't cause trouble. If something happens, I'll blame you!"
Li Weidong said happily: "As long as there is hope, who the hell is willing to cause trouble! Then it's settled!"
"All sold out?" Hearing the roar of the tractor, Liao Fugui ran out of the workshop and couldn't help being surprised and happy when he saw the rear bucket was empty.
"All sold out!" Ding Zhiyuan's voice rose above the roar of the tractor, "Old Liao, hurry up and get another batch of soda bottles!"
Liao Fugui was so excited that he grabbed his arm and asked: "Is it really all sold?"
"Why are you lying to me?" Ding Zhiyuan pointed at the back of the tractor, "Did you let us both drink?"
"Good boy! I knew you could do it, haha, you are worthy of being a college student!" Liao Fugui was so happy that he said his kind words as if he wanted no money, "By the way, where's the money?"
Ding Zhiyuan pulled him aside, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Are you still worried about me doing things? But it will take some time to get the money back..."
"So you take credit!" Liao Fugui is a veteran in the business world. When he heard this, he didn't understand what was going on. He jumped up and said, "No, how can you take credit?"
