Chapter 53 Difficult business
Sometimes, good business is also an annoyance, and Zhang Qianxiu is worried that no one will help himself to collect rice.
Go to the wholesaler to get it, but it is available at any time, but the price is too high, and there are requirements for the quantity of the purchase, they will not send it if it is less.
Zhang Qianxiu hesitated again and again, but decided to procrastinate to see if he could develop his own small rice collection team.
Moreover, the day after tomorrow is the engagement banquet for my sister. Tomorrow, I have to go to the Han family to make it clear that the gift money should be paid back. Once the gift money is refunded, Zhang Qianxiu will not have much money left to buy rice.
By 4:30 in the afternoon, there were only more than 30 kilograms of rice left in the store, and there were only a little bit of good rice, inferior rice, and miscellaneous rice. It was not easy to sell, so I simply closed the door and went to Shudetang for dinner.
When Zhang Qianxiu and the three walked to the gate of the market, a man in his early forties stopped the three of them.
Zhang Qianxiu saw that he was the owner of the grain and oil store at the door, and he knew from his gloomy expression that he might be unkind.
Huang Enquan had been in the market for a few days, but already knew that this was the owner of the grain and oil store, and knew that the other party might have come to find the fault, his face had already sunk.
The man opened his mouth and said, “Boss Zhang, my name is Cao Youfu, the boss of Youfu Cereals.”
Zhang Qianxiu took out a cigarette and handed it to Cao Youfu: “I know, Mr. Cao is good! My name is Zhang Qianxiu.”
Cao Youfu glanced at Yan, and finally accepted it, and said, “I know the name of Boss Zhang. You sold me rice. I stopped you because I wanted to talk to you.”
When Zhang Qianxiu sold rice before, he did sell rice to him.
Zhang Qianxiu probably knew what Cao Youfu wanted to talk about, and said with a smile, “Listen with respect.”
Cao Youfu lit a cigarette and said, “Boss Zhang, in business, no one cares about you, but you have broken the rules and your business is good, but those customers used to buy rice from us.”
At first, Cao Youfu didn’t care when he knew that a rice shop was going to be opened. Later, Zhang Qianxiu gave out flyers. Although he was not pleasing to the eye, he didn’t think Zhang Qianxiu could do it because he was in a good position and Zhang Qianxiu’s place was too good. To the contrary, he didn’t think Zhang Qianxiu was a threat.
But these days, Zhang Qianxiu’s business is getting better and better, and there are even old customers who came to him to ask, if the rice bag is not included, he said not to give it, the customer turned around and left, and ran to Zhang Qianxiu to buy rice. went.
And he wasn’t the only one who encountered such a problem. The three original grain and oil shops in this market encountered such problems.
Zhang Qianxiu also lit a cigarette and said, “Boss Cao, doing business is all based on his own ability, and I have no means to shame.”
Zhang Qianxiu didn’t know that sending rice to the door by himself was equivalent to driving down profits.
From the perspective of doing business, it is actually a price war. Although his price has not fallen on the surface, his profit will be lower if he provides more services.
But Zhang Qianxiu had no choice. He was in a bad position and had no regular customers. He could only think of a way.
Cao Youfu frowned slightly, and said, “It’s no good for anyone to do this. I spend tens of hundreds of dollars to ask someone to deliver the goods. Then they will still come to me. It’s better, everyone will sell it now. You don’t include the price for the price, how about it?”
Huang Enquan couldn’t listen anymore, and said dissatisfied: “If we don’t include the delivery, our position is so biased, haven’t everyone gone to your place?”
Huang Enquan was a bit aggressive when speaking, and his tone was naturally not very good.
Cao Youfu frowned slightly, looked at Huang Enquan, and said displeased: “Is there a place for you to speak here?”
“He is my brother!” Zhang Qianxiu added indifferently: “He is qualified to speak.”
Cao Youfu’s face changed slightly, and then he sneered: “Zhang Qianxiu, I originally wanted to tell you well, depending on what you mean, there is no room for it. If this is the case, then I will treat it as a waste of heart today.”
Zhang Qianxiu still admires Cao Youfu very much. He knows that he should give courtesy first and then soldiers. There are not many people like this: “Boss Cao, I didn’t mean that, but he is my brother. What you said to him is a bit nasty. And I do business. , Also want to make money, your position is better than me, I don’t want to do something, isn’t that a loss?”
When Cao Youfu heard Zhang Qianxiu’s words, his expression lightened a little, and he said, “I’m still talking to you well. You have to continue to do this. The final result will not do you any good.”
Huang Enquan never believed these threats and was about to speak, but Zhang Qianxiu gave him a wink and told him not to speak.
Huang Enquan had to keep silent.
Zhang Qianxiu was silent for a moment, and said, “Boss Cao, I still said that. I just want to be a simple businessman. If there is a good way, everyone makes money. I can sit down and discuss with you, as long as you promise me one. On average, four thousand five hundred catties of rice are sold every day. If there is no better way, then we will see the truth in the business field.”
“However, if anyone wants to use the three indiscriminate methods, I am not a bully. The owners of the grain and oil shops who want to come to the county have heard about the things I have encountered.”
The four thousand five hundred jin of rice that Zhang Qianxiu requested is not too much in his opinion. He has calculated the population of the county and the approximate sales.
Cao Youfu didn’t expect Zhang Qianxiu to be so young but he was so tough in doing things. As for Zhang Qianxiu’s saying that everyone makes money, how could that be possible? They just hope that Zhang Qianxiu will not give it to them. By then, most customers will come to them to sell rice. As for Zhang Qianxiu’s store. The life and death are not within the scope of their consideration.
Cao Youfu took a puff of cigarette, then dropped the last cigarette butt, and said, “Well, since Boss Zhang is so hard-headed, let’s hire someone tomorrow, and send it! I want to see who can afford it.”
Cao Youfu and the others have been in this business for many years. They have money and old customers, which means they have a certain foundation. It is not a big problem for them to hire someone. They still have the advantage of position.
When Zhang Qianxiu is squeezed down, they will be able to cancel the rice delivery service.
Zhang Qian shaved his face and didn’t change his appearance. He still smiled and said, “Thank you, Boss Cao, for telling me today.”
Cao Youfu didn’t know if Zhang Qianxiu was pretending, or he was really not angry at all, the corner of his eye was picked up, and there was no sound, he turned and walked towards his own store.
On the opposite side, the owner of another grain and oil store looked at all this and his face was not very good.
After Zhang Qianxiu left with Huang Enquan and Zhang Jiankang, Cao Youfu walked out again and walked towards the grain and oil store opposite: “Old Li, that kid is not willing to cancel the package.”
“I probably heard.” Old Li said with a gloomy expression: “Then find a few people and teach him how to be a man.”
Cao Youfu hesitated for a moment, and said, “That kid has a tough temper. He was surrounded by rice dealers last time, and he was called by a group of small gangsters two days ago. He has no legs and feet. He is a ruthless person who refuses to suffer. ”
“If we find someone to deal with him, he will surely guess that we did it, and then he will be afraid that he will come to him.”
Old Li curled his mouth slightly and said with a slight disdain: “I’m still afraid that he is a hairy boy?”
Cao Youfu despised Lao Li in his heart. Lao Li never dared to say harsh words when seeing those punks, but now he wanted to find a few people to do something against Zhang Qianxiu.
However, now Cao Youfu is unwilling to make things too much. If Zhang Qianxiu cannot be dealt with by serious methods, it will not be too late to let Lao Li do the wrongdoing, so he persuades him: “Lao Li, last time. The little **** class in his shop who collects protection fees was beaten away. For a little protection fee, the boy dared to be cruel. You really pushed him into a hurry. Are you afraid that he will ask you to settle the account?”
Old Li suddenly said nothing.
Cao Youfu said: “Tomorrow we will hire a buddy to deliver rice. Anyway, it will cost a few hundred yuan. Our position is good. In a few days, that kid will not be able to hold on.”
Lao Li was frightened by Cao Youfu’s words. He really didn’t dare to find someone to teach Zhang Qianxiu easily. He could only nod his head: “That’s fine! Go and talk to the rice bucket inside.”
This market originally had three grain and oil shops at the beginning, plus Zhang Qianxiu, a total of four.
“Rice Bucket” is actually a person named Fan Yitong, who is the owner of a grain and oil store in the market.
Cao Youfu nodded: “Okay, I’ll talk later.”
Cao Youfu believed that Zhang Qianxiu would definitely not be able to open the store as long as the three stores outside were packaged for delivery.
