Asking and being asked are two completely different concepts.
Through a brief conversation, Yu Tian sensed the middle-aged man's difficulties.
Pretending to be mysterious, the middle-aged man was really moved after saying these words.
"What do you do? Judging from your accent, you are from out of town, right? How do you sell it?"
Middle-aged people should remain vigilant.
"Let's talk after dinner. In short, I have a way to sell all the socks in front of you."
Yu Tian did not explain.
"What do you want to eat?"
The middle-aged man thought for a while and then asked again.
"Baozi, noodles, simple, best with wine!"
Yu Tian didn't want to have a luxurious lunch.
As long as it's warm.
The two sweet potatoes just now were just a foundation. Now when he talked about food, he felt hungry again.
Hit it off immediately.
It doesn’t cost much to eat some steamed buns.
Although Yu Tian was not dressed well, what if this kid could really say something?
Businessmen are very keen and put profit first.
The middle-aged man immediately found a follower and looked at the stall.
He took Yu Tian out of the market, walked around to the other side of Yihu Lake, and found a small restaurant.
After sitting down, the two introduced themselves.
The middle-aged man is Wang Dongyue, a native of Yicheng. He is forty-four years old. He just took office as the sales section chief of Chunfeng Socks Factory four months ago.
After three rounds of drinking.
The two opened up the chat room and talked about everything.
Although Wang Dongyue is older than Yu Tian.
But compared to being well-informed, he feels ashamed of himself.
"brother!"
Wang Dongyue poured another cup for Yu Tian, "Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading! Your opinions are too rich, and they are completely inconsistent with your dress! Fortunately, I don't judge people by their cover. I didn't even listen to a lot of things you said.
I heard it! What did you just say? In twenty years, people will be able to make calls directly with their mobile phones? If this is the case, it will not be difficult for me to do this sales! "
Where were the mobile phones in the 1980s?
Having a landline phone is considered a luxury.
And long distance calls are expensive.
Ordinary telephones have an iron box and are locked, but not just anyone who wants to call.
"This is just my guess about the future..."
Yu Tian drank it in one sip, "Brother Wang, what do you think of the conditions I just mentioned? As long as you and I take a trip back to Spring City, I will definitely help you solve the socks issue. The money will be paid within half a month.
If you can take it all in, I'll cover all the food and accommodation without you having to pay a penny."
Yu Tian wanted Wang Dongyue to take his socks and go back to Spring City with him.
He is confident that he can sell all these goods.
But he didn't specify how to do it.
If the methods are all explained, there will be nothing you can do.
Wang Dongyue is a local, born and raised, and is used to doing business next to Yihu Lake.
Out of town?
He really hasn't been to too far away.
As the head of the sales section, the most he can do is accompany merchants who come from other places to purchase goods, drink and chat, and promote business.
In the 1980s, business trips were not very popular.
Generally, people who travel on business are government workers, traveling to the mountains and countryside.
The road conditions are not good and it is inconvenient to go anywhere.
Traveling for business is considered a chore for people.
the most important is.
In every city, most of the goods circulated and almost all were sold locally.
Different regions have different prices.
The same goods may be more than twice the price in two places separated by less than a hundred kilometers.
This is especially true in Uiseong, where things are cheaper than in Chuncheng.
Information gaps are business opportunities.
This is why Yu Tian is confident that he can bring these socks back to Spring City and sell them at a high price.
Spring City's socks are of average quality.
But the retail price and wholesale price are much higher than those in Uprising City.
You don't need to think too hard to know.
These high-quality cotton socks will sell well in Spring City as long as they are sold at the right price and have enough gimmicks.
"This matter...is difficult to handle."
Wang Dongyue thought for a while, then sighed and said, "Brother, to be honest, we don't know each other very well! We don't have that much trust over a meal of wine. Besides, even if I believe you, I don't count these things.
The products are weighing down the factory's funds. If there are any other problems, the factory director will have to kill me..."
The funds of Chunfeng Socks Factory are all invested in this.
If this batch of goods cannot be sold within a short period of time, there will be no extra funds for other purposes.
Wang Dongyue is extremely concerned about this batch of goods.
Making high-quality socks is actually his idea.
He thought that if the quality was high, people would give priority to it.
How to know.
Today's people don't have much money, and what matters more is cost-effectiveness.
"That..."
Yu Tian thought for a while, "How about this? Brother Wang, you take me to see the factory director and I will discuss it with him. What do you think?"
"let me see."
Wang Dongyue did not agree immediately. He thought for a while and asked solemnly, "If the factory director agrees, can you really sell all these socks? The ugly thing is that the wholesale price of our socks is only 40 cents.
If I follow you to other places, the price will definitely increase, no matter what, it will cost... fifty cents!"
"no problem!"
Yu Tian agreed immediately, "I can accept fifty cents! As long as your factory director can agree to let you and I go on a business trip, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter!"
Yu Tian could only say this.
This is sincere enough.
If Wang Dongyue still doesn't agree.
He was going to go back to the eldest sister to bargain for the price.
I will study this matter next time I come here.
But Wang Dongyue was also interested.
After observing Yu Tian for a while, he slapped his thigh and said, "Brother, I remember what you just said! Shout, the general is not a coward! That's it! But not today, there will be a meeting in the factory in the afternoon! Tomorrow, tomorrow
You have been waiting here for me since the morning, and I will definitely take you there! But we have agreed that when you meet our factory director, you should lower your attitude. Our factory director has a bad temper and is rather impatient.
He has been very annoyed about the socks recently. The content of the afternoon meeting is also to study how to sell the goods as soon as possible!"
Yu Tian agreed.
But he didn't show too much excitement.
At the same time, he also proposed.
If the factory director does not agree to cooperate, he will find someone else to discuss cooperation.
Anyway, there are a lot of people selling socks.
There are only a handful of people who are marketable.
You must understand who is begging whom.
Although it is cooperation, you must have your own attitude.
After settling the bill, the two separated.
This meal was very filling for Yu Tian and cost Wang Dongyue six yuan.
Fortunately, Wang Dongyue doesn't feel bad.
He ate the meal very happily.
He learned a lot of knowledge from Yu Tian. These things are enough to benefit him for a long time.
After the two parted ways, Yu Tian went to the market for a long time.
Bell bottoms are already in stock.
Toad mirrors, patent leather shoes, etc. are all available, and the prices are not expensive.
It's just that his capital is really insufficient.
It's just over a hundred, so I can't buy much at all.
He now places his hopes on Wang Dongyue for the time being.
I just want to meet with the factory director tomorrow to have a good talk and try to implement this matter.
After leaving the market, he was going to find a hotel to rest.
"Young man? Are you staying in a hotel?"
On the roadside, a middle-aged aunt stopped Yu Tian.
"How much?"
Yu Tian asked casually.
"It depends on what kind of place you want to live, meat or vegetarian!"
The middle-aged aunt raised her eyebrows, the meaning was obvious.
"Meat or vegetarian? I don't want to eat. I'm staying in a hotel. Did you hear it wrong?"
Yu Tian was thinking about the factory director and didn't react for a while.
Just finished speaking.
He was grabbed by his aunt and without any explanation, he was dragged into a small hotel in the alley next to him.
