For three consecutive days, electric fans have been selling over a hundred units each day, and the numbers are increasing every day. Many people, when chatting, would mention that their sons had just bought them an electric fan, as if it were a big color TV they had bought in the past.
Manager Su has already called to order another two hundred units. The mall closes early, and many people don't have time to go during work hours. The supply and marketing cooperative, however, doesn't close until eight in the evening, so those who don't have time during the day all come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy, making it the place with the fastest and most sales!
A few days ago, Manager Su was still regretting the ten thousand yuan he had invested, as it seemed he wouldn't make any money. Although it seemed more stable than buying goods, which could result in losses, having ten thousand yuan tied up in the account was still a concern.
Now, Manager Su doesn't think that way anymore. In just a few days, and before the hottest time in Ice City, electric fans are already selling so well. In a few more days, they will surely sell even more. It's profitable and risk-free, so why not order more?
Apart from the supply and marketing cooperative, the mall has also started to increase its orders. It's not even the weekend yet, but by the weekend, these electric fans will surely be out of stock. Now, in the mall, other brands of electric fans are not selling at all; almost everyone only recognizes the Fengyu brand.
Produced by the motor factory, with a low price, new design, and being light, convenient, and safe, even the First Department Store has put up a banner at the entrance to promote it.
Feng Yu also called everyone together again for a meeting. One reason was to celebrate the success of the Fengyu electric fans in Ice City, and to thank everyone for their hard work, giving each person a twenty-yuan bonus. The other reason was to teach them some customer service methods.
"Xiao Yu, if customers come, should we treat them like this? Will they still buy our electric fans?" Li Shiqiang frowned, thinking Feng Yu was being unreasonable!
Everyone was happy about the bonus, but Feng Yu's customer service methods were unacceptable to everyone. Feng Yu told them that when customers come, they don't need to smile, serve tea, or offer cigarettes; they should act impatient and indifferent, as if they don't care whether the customers buy or not!
Currently, the Fengyu electric fans are only famous in Ice City, and Feng Yu doesn't have the resources to establish sales channels outside Ice City. Smart people will definitely come to him, given the sales figures of the Fengyu electric fans!
In a buyer's market, the buyer has the upper hand, and in a seller's market, the seller has the upper hand.
Now, the Fengyu electric fans are in high demand, and those who want to buy in bulk will certainly be numerous. Feng Yu isn't worried about selling them.
Even at the motor factory, Feng Yu has taken precautions. He told Wu Zhigang to inform Director Zhao that some people are spreading rumors that the Fengyu electric fans are substandard products made by the motor factory and are demanding compensation from the motor factory!
Director Zhao immediately reported to Factory Manager Li, and everyone in the factory spoke with one voice: the Fengyu electric fans have nothing to do with the motor factory; the motor factory only rented the warehouse to Taihua Company.
So, some people went to contact the motor factory, hoping to buy directly from the source, but they were all rejected: "Our motor factory absolutely does not produce any Fengyu electric fans, absolutely not!" Those who insisted that the motor factory produced them were directly escorted out by the security guards!
With no other options, these people had to find the trademark holder of the Fengyu electric fans, Taihua International Trade Company.
As soon as they entered Taihua Company's warehouse, they all frowned. It wasn't because the company's location was poor; they had seen company offices in small villages in the south. What surprised them was how little inventory was left in the warehouse—only a few hundred units. Had they run out of stock?
"Is this Taihua Company? Are the Fengyu electric fans your company's products?" Zhang Rukun, a businessman from Shen City, asked politely.
"Who are you? The Fengyu electric fans are our company's products, what's it to you?" Wu Zhigang said with a sideways glance.
Zhang Rukun was taken aback. Why was the company's attitude like this? But for the sake of business, he endured it.
"Here's my business card. I am the general manager of Jinyuan Trading Company, and I want to talk to your company's manager."
"No time! Our boss is busy. Can't you see I'm busy too? Go do what you need to do!"
Zhang Rukun's mouth dropped open. Is this guy crazy? Can't you tell I want to talk business with your boss? If this were my company, I would have fired him long ago!
I'll talk to your boss myself!
Zhang Rukun forced a smile and took out a pack of Hongshuangxi cigarettes, offering one to the man in front of him: "Brother, have a cigarette."
"Get out! This is a warehouse; can you smoke here?"
Zhang Rukun's smile froze, and he awkwardly put the cigarette back. After some thought, he handed the whole pack to the man: "Brother, don't be angry, it's my fault. Take the cigarettes. I want to talk to your boss about buying some Fengyu electric fans."
Wu Zhigang finally put the cigarettes in his pocket and looked at Zhang Rukun: "Buying? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Zhang Rukun felt like crying but couldn't. I wanted to say it, but did you give me the chance? He kept smiling and nodded: "Yes, yes, I forgot to say it."
Wu Zhigang gave a look that clearly said, "It's your fault," and asked slowly, "How many do you plan to buy?"
"Buy?" Zhang Rukun looked puzzled, "What do you mean by buy? I want to buy a batch and sell them in Shen City."
"Buy? No, you can only buy on consignment! We don't have much stock left; we don't even have enough for ourselves." Wu Zhigang waved his hand and turned to continue his work.
Zhang Rukun grabbed Wu Zhigang's arm: "Brother, you seem to have some influence in this company, right? Please help me and sell me some. I don't need much, just a thousand units, and I'll give you one yuan per unit as a bonus!"
Wu Zhigang shook off Zhang Rukun's hand and pointed to the warehouse door: "Trying to bribe me? Get out!"
"Brother, if one yuan is too little, we can negotiate."
"Sorry, sorry, brother, it's my fault. I really despise this kind of thing, but many people in the south do it. Brother, please talk to your boss and sell me some. The price is negotiable. How about thirty-five yuan per unit?"
Zhang Rukun had calculated that the cost of one electric fan was about thirty yuan, and if produced in large quantities, the cost could be even lower. He was offering a profit of more than five yuan per unit, and buying a thousand units would mean a profit of five thousand yuan!
Of course, after transporting them to Shen City, he could sell each one for fifty to sixty yuan, making a profit of more than ten yuan per unit.
"Thirty-five? Not even enough to cover the cost! See, the small ones cost almost forty yuan each, and the large ones cost almost fifty. Since you're sincere, I'll give you a tip. If you really want to buy, come at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. I'm busy now, so please leave."
Zhang Rukun left and called his friends to raise money. When he met the boss tomorrow, he would definitely buy more, knowing the hot sales in Ice City, he would make a fortune!
The same thing happened to more than ten people. Some talked at the entrance, some in the office, and they were all told to come at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to talk to the boss.
In the afternoon, Feng Yu was a guest in Factory Manager Li's office at the motor factory. PS: In those years, especially in the coastal areas of the south, there were many people in business, and their minds were very active. Many people who traded goods made a fortune. ~~~~ Also, the fourth brother kneels and begs for recommendations to beat the new books on the list.
