Chapter 17
Mu Hanxia looks up at the blue sky The sun shi+nes so strongly that she can hardly open her eyes With slightly squinted eyes, she looks at the nureen and fruits red, bunches and bunches of lychees hanging heavily from the bruches She smiles softly and thinks to herself, if she really succeeds, that would be like living a dream
What she is feeling now, is like walking on the high wire She is a gae with herself in an unnoticed corner
Zhang Yulei stands a few steps beside her, gazing at her They were high school classmates and haven’t seen each other for a few years But there are some people who make you feel trust and warmth whenever you think of them To many people, the once God-favored Mu Hanxia is probably so her life lows right now
Zhang Yulei remembers clearly that she used to wear a white dress, hair neatly co classh, but soed in her look
It’s a cale
“Honey peaches fro, mushrooms from Hu Bei, and Lychees from Hai Nan, they truly live up to their faly, “Da Lei, please give me all you can produce from the lychee farm next week I will also take the products from the several lychee farms nearby”
Zhang Yulei is quite taken aback He already knows Mu Hanxia is only an unimportant sales assistant in the supermarket
“Youyou want? What do you want? Where do you get money from?”
Mu Hanxia grins and gives hiht ofis, I’m not a sales assistant now, I’ive er and purchase directly from you”
Zhang Yulei thinks for a h his father is still e of most of the business As far as the price is fine, he should be able toto let Mu Hanxia have a price that’s a little lower Although the request she raises is a little abrupt, in his heart, he just trusts her
So, he nods, “Fine But you have to be fast You know the Hai Nan lychees sell well, and it’s the peak season right now, the wholesale price changes every day I can’t give you an exact price right now But I can give you a small discount based on the day’s real-time price”
Mu Hanxia looks at hiratefully, “I know Thank you!”
The wholesale price for lychees in Hainan changes all the time, that she is certainly aware This is why she came to Hainan
The two of the on the dirt path that has been hardened by the sunshi+ne Zhang Yulei listens to Mu Hanxia unhurriedly talking about her whole plan --
“As the assistant of the sales department, I dealt with numbers everyday, lots and lots of numbers Sales data, supplies data, production data, supplier data, and so on Gradually, I discovered a pattern As you know, ional products, are not directly purchased froion by our supermarket, for example, lychees and other fruits, and rice in bulk too If the store assigns people to procure every kind of product from out-of-town, they will need a lot of people, which is certainly impossible So, like lychees, we just purchase fro The supplier buys from you people in Hainan Then there is a price difference in between”
Zhang Yulei nods, “Exactly But if you want to do direct procurement, you have to be responsible for the cost of shi+pains from it Why would you do that?”
Mu Hanxia sains? I looked at those data closely every day, and discovered the problem in it I went to discuss with the other more experienced employees in the departht I was looking for trouble But the ht about it, it more certain I felt There hides an opportunity in this market of supply and demand”
“What opportunity?”
“Usually, if I change to direct procureht? Because the supplier in between doesn’t earn much after all This is the automatic adjustment mechanism of market price
However, I studied the the wholesale price of lychees in Hainan during the last five years in this season, around the twenty days about now to be exact I also studied the price chart provided by the suppliers and discovered that, here in Hianan, the price changes everyday The oes and the faster it goes lower, right? The price chart from our supplier shows the same tendency But, because the suppliers vary in quality, and there is a distance between us and the production region, the supplier ulated, and the information does not flow very smoothly, there price adjust of 3 to 5 days in the least”
Zhang Yulei’s heart jumps at the words He seems to understand where the ‘opportunity’, as Mu Hanxia says, lies hidden
Mu Hanxi’s eyes see Yulei feels as if he is looking at a different person She says, “I’ve looked The local price here in Hainan today is 72 yuan, while in Jiang Cheng, the supplier’s price is 84 yuan And the retail prices in Le Ya and Yong Zheng are both around 10 yuan Based on the sales pattern and the weather forecast, next ill probably be a sales peak in Hainan and the real-time wholesale price will be less than 5 yuan But the prices in Jiang Chen won’t change until three days later What I’e of the brief tih direct procurement”
Zhang Yulei asks, “How much do you plan to sell then?”
Mu Hanxia answers, “Yong Zheng, and all other super at 10 yuan, only we sell at 5 yuan, a low price totally beyond i the custoht to buy them out Consequently, the lychees fro as I succeed at this single thing, Le Ya will be regain customers’ attention and come back to life”
