"Son, this salt only sells for thirty cents a pound?"
Uncle Wang pulled a child next to him and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, uncle, this is the snow salt from Changlu Salt Field. It is the best salt. How many kilograms would you like?"
The waiter at the shop next to me replied with a smile.
"This salt is very good, but how can such high-quality salt only sell for thirty cents a pound?"
Uncle Wang nodded, but still said in disbelief.
"Don't you know how many pounds you want to buy?"
The waiter didn't know how to answer, so he thought about it and said.
"Okay, give me five kilograms, no, ten kilograms~"
When Uncle Wang heard this, he nodded and bought five kilograms of salt with one mouthful. Then he thought about it and realized that such good salt only sold for thirty cents per kilogram. Why not seize the opportunity to buy a few more kilograms, so he bought ten kilograms at a time.
Salt.
"Okay~"
When the waiter heard this, he immediately laughed happily and enthusiastically packed and weighed ten pounds of salt for Uncle Wang.
"Is the weighing accurate?"
Uncle Wang weighed the salt on his hand and said with some worry. He had been looking at it just now. The salt was not mixed with sand or mud, and there was no other salt underneath. It was all just this kind of snow salt. He just said
I felt relieved a lot and felt that if it was a little less expensive, it would be acceptable.
You should know that the salt Zhang sold in the past often contained sand and even mud. It had a lot of impurities and was often scolded by people. But now he has changed his mind and no longer adds sand or mud.
"Uncle, please go back and weigh us again. If you are short of one or two, you can come over and smash our sign."
When the waiter heard this, he immediately raised his head and said proudly.
Come on, looking at it like this, maybe Zhang is really ready to become a living Bodhisattva, and he is not even ready to do things like missing a pound or two.
After carefully weighing the salt in my hand, it seems that there is indeed nothing missing.
"Where to pay?"
Uncle Wang looked at the waiter and asked.
"The cashier is here at the counter. You can check inside the store first to see if there is anything else you want to buy. I'll carry this salt for you first."
The waiter pointed at the counter and said with a smile.
"Okay~"
Uncle Wang nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Do you have kitchen knives for sale here?"
He remembered that his mother-in-law was nagging about the kitchen knife every day. After thinking about it, he decided to buy another kitchen knife. The kitchen knife at home was indeed very rotten and had been used for more than ten years.
"Yes, yes, we have all kinds of high-quality ironware produced by Miyun Iron Factory. You are guaranteed to be satisfied~"
When the waiter heard this, he nodded immediately and took Uncle Wang to the ironware place. He saw sickles, kitchen knives, axes, hoes, hammers, scissors and other kinds of ironware, all placed there.
"Miyun Iron Works?"
"I've never heard of it before. Is this iron good?"
Uncle Wang casually picked up two pieces of ironware and weighed them carefully. They were heavy, but at least the amount was substantial. Then the two ironwares touched lightly, and a crisp sound came clearly.
"This iron is pretty good~"
Uncle Wang couldn't help but say.
"Of course, the iron produced by Miyun Iron Factory is the best iron on the market now, and the price is very cheap. Like the kitchen knife you are holding in your hand, it weighs a full kilogram, but it only costs fifty-five
A big guy."
The waiter said matter-of-factly.
"Fifty-five eldest sons?"
When Uncle Wang heard this, he was surprised again and said: "Why is it so cheap and it weighs one pound?"
"I will never lie to you~"
The waiter patted his chest and said.
"Here's a kitchen knife~"
Uncle Wang nodded. Anyway, as long as the price was wrong when paying, he would just not buy it. This product was indeed good.
After selling out the kitchen knives, Uncle Wang wandered around the store casually again. He had nothing to do anyway. Only after this stroll did he realize that the items in Zhang's grocery store are really very cheap, usually cheaper than other places.
, many things are even much cheaper.
So the shopkeeper behind Uncle Wang had more and more second-hand items, including salt, kitchen knives, scissors, soap, candles... Uncle Wang, who originally just came in to watch the fun, had already bought a lot of them without knowing it.
Piles of stuff.
"Thank you for your patronage. The total is five hundred and eighty-seven cents. If our store exceeds one hundred cents, we can save three cents. Sir, please see if you want to buy something more and scrape together six hundred cents. In this way, you can save eighteen cents.
, if you check out like this now, you can only enjoy the discount of 500 Wen, but you still have to pay 572 Wen."
When he came to the cashier counter to pay, Uncle Wang was shocked when he heard it. He just came to watch the fun, but he actually spent almost 600 yuan in one go.
Embarrassed.
I don’t want to buy it, but I’m afraid I’ll lose face. Moreover, these things are good, good quality, cheap, and are needed for daily use. But if I buy them, I might get nagged by the old lady this time.
.
But after hearing what the cashier said, Uncle Wang silently did the math, went to get two more bars of soap, and added up to a total of six hundred cash.
After leaving Zhang's Grocery Store, Uncle Wang's head was still buzzing. He didn't know why he just went in to see the excitement, but ended up buying something worth 600 Wen.
"I'm sure I'll be nagged by the old lady when I go back~"
Thinking of six hundred penny, Uncle Wang couldn't help but feel heartache. This money was spent too much. Usually he would like to treat a penny as two pennies, but this is good, six hundred penny was spent all at once.
But looking at these things in my hands, I seem to feel that they are worth the money. What's more, there are only three cents left out of the one hundred cents, and I always feel that I have earned it.
"I'll go~ Do you want to exaggerate?"
Uncle Wang looked back at Zhang's Grocery Store and happened to see some mountain people who came to the city to buy New Year's goods. He saw these people came out one by one carrying New Year's goods. The baskets were filled with various kinds of goods.
Something like that.
Salt, tea, cloth, ironware, cement, flour, rice, needlework, dried fish...the baskets were piled full of all kinds of things. When I went out, I was still smiling, looking like I was making a lot of money.
Like.
"When did the people in the mountains become rich?"
Uncle Wang scratched his head, always feeling that something was wrong, because almost everyone who came out had a lot of things in their hands, and they were all just like himself, as if they were possessed.
Shaking his head slightly, Uncle Wang carried the things and walked back.
Here in Zhang's Grocery Store, all the waiters are very busy. Zhang Tianhao is afraid that someone will steal things, so there are several waiters watching almost everywhere. Of course, it is also convenient to sell other things.
The stolen items were not discovered. The waiters in this store were very busy. There was a long queue at the cashier. There were too many people buying things, and everyone bought a lot of things, so that the checkout speed became very slow.
"The salt is gone, hurry up and replenish it~"
Zhang Tianhao looked at the booming sales in front of him with a smile on his face. While patrolling the store, he quickly asked the waiter to replenish the goods wherever there was a shortage.
The sales are very hot, and as the New Year is approaching, there are a lot of people coming to buy New Year goods. The things here are cheap and of good quality, and there is no shortage of goods. In addition, department stores sell many goods together, which can be regarded as a good choice.
It detonated the entire sales scene.
The items on the shelves were snatched away at a speed visible to the naked eye, almost in the blink of an eye, so that the store clerk had to work hard to replenish the goods.
The best sellers are snow salt and ironware. Snow salt is of good quality, cheap, and has no sand or mud. People who come to buy it only need a few kilograms of salt, but when they think of this
Good salt, so cheap, everyone can't help but buy a few more pounds.
As for the ironware, the quality of the ironware produced by Miyun Iron Factory cannot be said, you can tell just by listening to the sound, and the materials are sufficient. The key is that the price is cheap, much cheaper than the ironware on the market.
There are many mountain people from the mountains, sickles, saws, axes, machetes, hoes, etc., all of which are available in one shop. I always feel that there is no shop like this after passing this village.
"I saw this hoe first~"
"Did I get the hoe first?"
"Don't rush, you two. Don't rush. Our store has sufficient supply. We will restock it right away. Don't worry, everyone has it."
There were people in the store who were afraid of running out of goods and were panic-buying. The waiter in the store was wiping his sweat while hurriedly replenishing the goods from the warehouse at the back.
Soon, Zhang Tianhao came to the cashier counter and saw that the two large baskets placed under the counter were already filled with copper coins. At the same time, there was a small box next to it containing broken silver. This business was so popular that the cashier shopkeeper
They were all so busy that they were sweating profusely.
"Young Master Liu is worthy of being Young Master Liu~"
"If there are such hot sales every day, although the profit per unit is very small, the quantity is large, and small profits and quick turnover can be achieved."
Zhang Tianhao was completely relieved at this time, and all his previous doubts were gone. Putting many goods together, small profits but quick turnover turned out to be really feasible.
"What's the secret in this?"
Then Zhang Tianhao began to think about the rationale, but due to the limitations of this era, it was of course difficult for him to think clearly about the sales principle.
