The next day, Xishan Coal Industry in Chongnanfang, Langdong.
Before the store opened, the outside was already crowded with people who came to buy briquettes. Everyone was waiting anxiously. As time went by, more and more people came after hearing the news, and the whole street was crowded.
People waiting to buy briquettes.
"Everyone, line up, line up~"
"Our store has sufficient supply, so don't worry, everyone can queue up and buy briquettes quickly. This crowding will only waste everyone's time."
When the time came, Xishan Coal Store opened on time. The waiters in the store were also shocked when they saw this situation. There were so many people that the entire street in front of the store was blocked. At the same time, there were also people behind.
A steady stream of people gathered around.
Soon, a long queue of people formed around the door. The long queue slowly stretched from the east of the corridor to the west of the corridor. It was hundreds of meters long. Everyone was waiting anxiously.
Inside the store, the waiters are very busy. According to Liu Jin's suggestion, Qian Youcai also adopts an assembly line working method. Some are responsible for reception, some are responsible for delivering goods, some are responsible for collecting money, and some are responsible for moving goods. All
Everything is in order and very efficient.
But despite this, every one of the more than 20 workers employed by Qian Youcai was so busy that they were sweating profusely and didn't even have time to take a breath.
"Hurry up and move the goods, there's not enough coal stove here~"
"Coal briquettes, briquettes briquettes, briquettes briquettes are sold out, move them out quickly."
"The briquettes cost 100 yuan, so hurry up, there are many people behind you."
Qian Youcai was also in the store. He was drinking tea leisurely in the back, but after seeing the long queue, he had to come forward in person. His voice kept ringing in the store, and every waiter heard it.
, my hands and feet also become more agile.
The store of Qian Youcai is quite large, with a storefront in front and a second-entry yard in the back, which is now also a warehouse.
Liu Jin had predicted in advance that the briquettes would be very popular, so he converted the yard at the back into a warehouse. He had already moved a large amount of coal stoves and briquettes there in advance and piled them full.
The waiter in the store was sweating profusely as he kept moving the goods out.
"Coal stove, move the coal stove out quickly."
The waiter in the shop was sweating profusely from his busy work, and the shopkeeper Qian Youcai was also thirsty for shouting, but when he saw the strings of copper coins constantly entering his pocket, he was full of energy and had a loud voice.
"Shopkeeper, the coal stoves in the store are sold out."
Soon, a waiter from the shop hurried over and said.
"What? They're all sold out. I remember we prepared more than 1,000 coal stoves. It only took more than an hour."
When Qian Youcai heard this, his eyes widened immediately and he said in disbelief.
"It's sold out, there's not a single one left."
"Moreover, we don't have much briquettes left, so we must quickly notify Xishan to restock."
The waiter nodded and went to the warehouse at the back with money and wealth. The warehouse that was originally full now only had broken coal scraps left on the ground. As for the coal stove, not a single coal stove was left. They were all sold out.
"Immediately notify Xishan to replenish the goods. I didn't expect that the briquettes will be sold so hotly. Now I will make a fortune."
Qian Youcai didn't hesitate at all and quickly asked his waiter to go to Xishan. At the same time, his whole mouth was smiling from ear to ear.
At first, I thought this coal was going to make money, but when I cooperated with Liu Jin and Emperor Hongzhi, the Emperor Hongzhi stipulated that a piece of briquettes could only be sold for 2 cents. At that time, he felt that he was finished, and he finally saved a little.
All the belongings must be paid for.
Now, seeing such hot sales, he knew that he was going to make a fortune this time.
This briquette sells for 2 cents each, which is very cheap. However, this coal is just like dirt on the coal hills of Xishan. You can get as much as you want. Moreover, 20% of yellow mud is added to this briquette. This yellow mud can also be sold for money.
.
After calculating the various costs of this briquette, the cost of a briquette is not even half a penny. Now it sells for 2 pence a piece. Naturally, he, a businessman, can clearly calculate the profit.
"The briquettes are here, the coal stove is here~"
Qian Youcai had just notified Xishan to replenish the goods. Liu Jin came to the store with Zhao Erhu and a large group of coal delivery guys. This time Liu Jin transported hundreds of coal stoves and a large amount of briquettes.
come over.
"Business is good~"
Liu Jin looked at the long queue outside. Although it had been open for more than an hour, it was extremely efficient, selling thousands of coal stoves and tens of thousands of briquettes.
However, there are still a lot of people waiting to buy briquettes, and there seems to be an endless trend of people waiting to buy briquettes. The entire city of Beijing has a population of millions, and there are hundreds of thousands of households.
Whether it is rich princes or nobles or ordinary people who have no money, this briquette is very easy to use and saves money. Naturally, everyone likes it very much. It can be said that almost every household has a demand.
The more people know about it, the more people will buy briquettes. Thousands of coal stoves are simply not enough to supply the entire huge market, and it can even be said that it is not even a drizzle.
"Mr. Liu, I really regret not listening to you. Open more branches earlier, prepare more manpower, and produce more coal stoves and briquettes."
Seeing Liu Jin bringing people over to replenish the goods, Qian Youcai breathed a sigh of relief, and then said regretfully.
As a businessman, he knows very well that in such a good business, he must seize the opportunity and strive to make enough money as soon as possible. Whether it is briquettes or coal stoves, it is not too difficult, and people will soon learn it.
go.
So if you want to make money, naturally the sooner the better.
At first, Liu Jin suggested that Qian Youcai open a few more stores at the same time, recruit more manpower, and increase production, but Qian Youcai disagreed, and now he has decisively regretted it.
"It's still too late to seize the opportunity and try to take over the entire capital's coal business. By the time others learn from us, we will have already made enough."
Liu Jin said with a smile, and then looked at the cashier's desk in the store. It was already filled with baskets and baskets of copper coins. A waiter was struggling to carry the coins inside.
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I was short-sighted and unprepared."
"Now we don't have enough supply, what should we do now?"
Qian Youcai nodded repeatedly, looked at the long queue outside, and asked anxiously.
"The sales of coal stoves and briquettes are restricted. One person can only buy one coal stove and no more than 20 pieces of briquettes. For the rest, we can only hurry up and replenish the goods. At the same time, we notified Xishan to recruit more people and speed up production.
"
Liu Jin looked at the entrance of the store. Someone who had taken their turn opened his mouth and immediately bought several coal stoves and hundreds of briquettes. And seeing that there was not enough stock in the store, the people behind him also followed suit.
, if this continues, they will be sold out soon, and it is inevitable that someone will resell them and make a profit in the process.
So Liu Jin quickly suggested to Qian Youcai.
"Yes, yes, inform us immediately and follow Mr. Liu's orders."
When Qian Youcai heard this, he nodded repeatedly and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
