Chapter 423 The price of raw materials has risen (400
"Senior Quality Manager..." Xia Zekai started talking. This is the latest position that his wife was officially promoted to at the end of last month, and it will take effect on the 1st of this month.
The promotion brings the most affordable salary increase. The salary increases by 30% from the original basis. Calculated, the increase is nearly 4,000 yuan, which is indeed a lot.
Forget it, let his wife be happy!
Xia Zekai stopped mentioning this matter. After entering the supermarket, he unknowingly walked to the infant and children's products section.
Luo Xiyun wanted to buy some moisturizing products for his two girls. Xia Zekai pushed a shopping cart back and forth, taking his girls to look at toys and other small items.
As I was walking, I heard someone from the place selling milk powder next to me asking: "Sister Liu, why is milk powder so expensive? Last week, it was still 138. How come it's only 168 in less than half a month? It's an event."
Even if the price is gone, it shouldn’t be so expensive.”
The price of a certain brand of second-stage milk powder suddenly increased by 30 yuan, which she couldn't stand.
It’s no wonder she made such a fuss. Calculated based on the amount of milk powder a child drinks in the second stage, a meal of milk powder is about 150 ml. That is, 25 grams of milk powder needs to be added to 150 ml of water. The child has one cup each in the morning, noon, afternoon and evening.
After a meal of milk powder, 100 grams of milk powder will be gone for the day.
This is the amount of food when you start adding various other complementary foods, otherwise you will drink more milk powder.
Due to different brands of milk powder in the store, a bucket of milk powder is usually 800 grams or 900 grams. In other words, a seven or eight-month-old child can only eat a bucket of milk powder for 8 to 9 days, and a maximum of 10 days.
3 barrels per month.
Calculated, for families who need milk powder, they spend an extra 90 yuan a month, which is not a small amount of money nowadays.
The most important point is that the child does not need to eat milk powder for just one month. It will take a lot longer, and this additional cost is continuous.
"Sister Liu, I haven't bought milk powder from you once or twice. You can give me a cheaper price. If it doesn't work, I will take a box this time and see how much discount you can get?" It was the same person who spoke before.
sound.
The next moment, a very familiar voice from Xia Zekai sounded: "Sister, it's not that I won't give you a discount, but the price of milk powder has increased recently. Not only our brand, you can see that all other brands of milk powder have increased in price. Now the manufacturers
There is really no discount. Otherwise, if you really buy a box, I will ask the leader to give you a children's toilet worth 59.9 yuan, or give you a children's folding toilet worth 69.9 yuan, whichever is more convenient for your children, I will
Let you choose."
"If you can accept it, I'll call and apply immediately. If you really can't accept it, I have no other option." Liu Fang, one of the salespersons in RT-Mart's milk powder section, said sincerely.
Xia Zekai also remembered Liu Fang, the first time he purchased milk powder in bulk, he contacted her, and it was she who later introduced him to Jiang Lei.
However, starting from the time he got the goods from Jiang Lei, there was no contact between him and Liu Fang.
The two parties are not on the same level and can't really talk to each other. The other has no business contact. Xia Zekai has a lot of messy things. He doesn't have time to visit RT-Mart every now and then to go shopping in the supermarket. Liu Fang still comes once in a while.
It's rare to encounter someone who works two shifts.
We bumped into each other today, so let’s say hello!
Xia Zekai pushed the shopping cart past a row of milk powder shelves, walked over and called out: "Sister Liu, I bumped into you today."
Liu Fang was waiting for a reply from her customer when she heard someone calling her from behind. When she turned around and saw it was Xia Zekai, she subconsciously shouted: "Boss Xia, why are you here? Do you want to buy milk powder?"
She had a deep impression on Xia Zekai. She watched helplessly as he went from a young entrepreneur to a situation that was out of reach for her. The feeling in her heart was not something that could be explained to outsiders.
After she finished speaking, she realized she had made a mistake: "Look at my stupid mouth. Boss Xia, you also bought the milk powder from Mr. Jiang. By the way, the price of milk powder has increased now, you know."
"Well, Mr. Jiang told me this during the New Year's Day party. Before March, I had stocked up on more than two million yuan of milk powder!" Xia Zekai said casually.
Liu Fang knew how big his business was now, and was just happy for him. This stocking up at least saved a lot of money on raw material costs.
But the customer opposite didn't know who Xia Zekai was. After hearing this, she glanced twice and didn't recognize Xia Zekai, and she was thinking about who was bragging here.
"Sister Liu, let me get a box, and you can give me a folding toilet. The child is too young now and cannot sit on the toilet by himself. In two years, he will be able to use a folding toilet," the person said.
"Okay, sister, please settle the bill and I'll call you right away to arrange the goods." Liu Fang readily agreed.
The slightly plump young woman went to pay the bill immediately.
She just took a look at the other two brands of milk powder she was focusing on and found that the prices had indeed increased, ranging from 20 to 30 yuan per barrel. In this case, she was no longer sticky.
Xia Zekai said next to him: "Actually, I suggest you choose a children's toilet this time. Next time you buy milk powder, you can choose a folding toilet. Or you can buy two boxes at once if you want."
"Our Jingtong brand children's toilet is specially developed for children aged one to three years old to learn how to handle personal hygiene. It is easiest for children of this age to develop some better behavioral habits..."
Listening to Xia Zekai's explanation, the fat mother seemed to agree, but she was confused and asked: "Who are you?"
"Ah, I'm Xia Zekai, I just want to say a few words." Xia Zekai said.
Liu Fang came back after making the phone call. When she heard their conversation, she pointed at Xia Zekai and smiled. She said, "Sister, what a coincidence today. You are lucky. This is the founder of the Jingtong brand children's toilet.
The best-selling children's toilets and folding toilets sold in our supermarket are all made by Boss Xia's factory, and their Jingtong brand products are also No. 1 in the field of children's toilets. Really, I won't lie to you."
After finishing speaking, Liu Fang looked at Xia Zekai and said, "Boss Xia, today is such a coincidence, why don't you give me one more."
"Sister Liu, after you sold the milk powder, you still have to let me use two toilets..." Xia Zekai smiled as he spoke.
He then said: "Okay, I'll tell Guo Ying later, and when I make further purchases from the manager, I'll contact the head office."
Liu Fang laughed. She was just joking. It was okay to give the customer an extra one, but she would definitely not ask Xia Zekai for it.
"Sister Liu, you are here too. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I was just wondering who Zekai was talking to." Luo Xiyun also came over.
The fat mother saw Liu Fang give herself an extra children's toilet after listening to the other party's words. She knew that the identity of the young man in front of her was probably really unusual.
She sincerely expressed her gratitude to Xia Zekai, but she also knew that he was busy and the two parties were not on the same level, so she said no more, pushed a box of milk powder in a shopping cart, and left with two small toilets for children.
Xia Zekai and his wife chatted with Liu Fang for a while, and Xia Zekai also asked her about the price increase of milk powder.
According to Liu Fang, the prices of all brands of milk powder have increased.
However, the cooperation between Jiang Lei and Xia Zekai was a strategic one. He also specifically found manufacturers to apply for strategic prices for Xia Zekai. Whether it was Dumex milk powder or Wyeth milk powder, the price increase was not high. It was only 5 yuan, which is the same as the zero-order sales price.
The difference is huge.
After leaving here, the couple went to the fresh food section of the supermarket on the first floor to buy some various meats, frozen seafood, and some fresh organic vegetables, and then went home.
After spending a day wandering outside, the three mothers were exhausted, and Xia Zekai also felt that his legs were starting to feel sore and numb.
Maybe Yatou and Tongtong were exhausted after walking outside for a day. They simply ate some fruit and two pieces of bread in the evening, and then the two sisters fell asleep.
Luo Xiyun felt that the muscles in his legs were always tight and extremely uncomfortable.
She said to Xia Zekai: "Zekai, my leg hurts, please rub it for me."
"Okay, you lie down on the bed. I'll wash my hands first and then come over." Xia Zekai went to wash his hands.
In the room next to the master bedroom, Luo Xiyun was lying on the bed. He had just straightened his legs and clasped his toes together. He subconsciously exerted force. He didn't know what was going on, but suddenly a sharp pain hit him.
"It hurts, Zekai, it hurts..."
"What's wrong!" Xia Zekai was frightened and ran over with her slippers on. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her wife's right leg curled up and her hands pinching her calves.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it's cramping."
Xia Zekai finally understood, and quickly straightened her right leg, pressed it down, and rubbed her calf vigorously, rubbing it back and forth several times. Luo Xiyun breathed a sigh of relief, and the pain was gone, but she did not dare to move.
Already.
After a while, she said: "I just had a cramp in my right leg, and it hurt me so much."
"You must be tired today, so lie down and I'll relax your muscles." Xia Zekai patted her body twice to signal his wife to relax.
Luo Xiyun suddenly said: "Don't make trouble today, I'm exhausted."
"..." Xia Zekai wanted to spit in her face, who is he?
Do you think of me as a beast? This hasn’t even started yet. What trouble have I made?
…
After the time has entered late April, more and more people are wearing short-sleeved shirts on the street. Although hip-length short skirts have not become popular this year, there are already a lot of people wearing shorts, and their fair thighs are like this
Show it off and make people dazzled.
Xia Zekai loaded the carpet, tent, tables, chairs and charcoal grill into the car and put them away, then took the purchased steaks and meat skewers and drove the three of them to the rapeseed flower base in the east of the city.
"Dad, where should we go to play?"
"At the rapeseed flower base, daddy will take you to see the rapeseed flowers. They are so beautiful."
"Okay, okay!" When the two girls mentioned playing, they were both happy.
