Chapter 404 (1/2)
”Of course it's true. Otherwise, what are we doing here so far away?”
Mei Xiaoran said, ”I'm afraid you don't have so much inventory.”
”Don't talk about 100 sets, 500 sets are available. We are the general agent of Nanping City. All the counties below take goods from here.”
In fact, it is not worth mentioning that the stock of 500 units in a general agent is not too much. However, it was 1984. The national consumption power was not so high, and the Taiwan fan was just in fashion. Judging from the sales volume, it must be no better than ceiling fan and floor fan.
Nanping is not one of the hottest cities in the country. It is located in the transition zone of subtropical temperate zone. It belongs to the semi humid climate of monsoon continent and has four distinct seasons. Although it is hot in summer, compared with the furnace City, it is already very cool. To put it bluntly, table fans are not really popular, and their sales are not very good.
When manager Zhou heard that Mei Xiaoran asked for 100 small table fans, it would be deceiving to say that he was not surprised Usually, customers can take dozens of them when they come over. They don't say who wants 100 at once.
”As I said just now, I want 100 units. You can give me another 10 yuan cheaper on the basis of the current wholesale price. If it's OK, we can get the goods now.”
”Little girl, I really want to do your business, but if you want to make me so much cheaper, it's hard for me to do it.”
”It's up to you to sell or not. If you agree, I won't go to another house. If you don't agree, we'll change.”
In the industrial and trade building, it's not only diamond brand that sells small table fans, but also other brands. Mei Xiaoran only found the diamond brand electric fans of good quality, so she specially looked for this one.
That week, the manager was probably subdued by Mei Xiaoran's words. When he came out to be the representative of the manufacturer, he was not without a sales task. Although the target set by the manufacturer was not high, if there was a blessing of 100 sets, he would certainly be able to complete the task as soon as possible. However, there was performance in completing the task.
”Mr. Zhou, you can think about it. Anyway, we are just here. We are going around.”
Mei Xiaoran didn't want to waste time. He turned around with Ouyang Xun and Mei Xiaolei. He really planned to go around.
At this time, manager Zhou called out to them, ”you young people are really impatient. On such a hot day, you come all the way. Sit down and have a drink of water.”
This service attitude is nothing in future generations!
But at that time, it was the top service.
Manager Zhou quickly poured three cups of tea and pressed the three of them to the seat. ”I said, fellow townsmen, you really want to buy 100 electric fans. I'm really happy, but it's all controlled by the factory price. I dare not relax If I give you profits and let other merchants know, I can't do business! ”
Mei Xiaolei, who has been silent for a long time, suddenly said, ”what you said is wrong. Why do you want to sell it to us? Why do you want to publicize the price to others? You are not looking for scolding yourself?”
Ouyang Xun couldn't help laughing, even the mouthful of tea that he had just drunk came out.
Manager Zhou was very embarrassed. He rubbed his hands in a hurry: ”young man, you are so frank.”
”My brother is right. No matter what price you sell to us, you will not disclose it. It's just that your manufacturers earn less. But then again, if you were not the general agent of the manufacturer, I would not have come to you to discuss the price. It is certain that the purchase price is high at the retailers. Who knows this? ”
Mei Xiaoran was not as serious as that, but she looked at manager Zhou with a smile, just like a obedient and sensible student waiting for the teacher to praise him!
Manager Zhou sighed: ”little girl, you are all right, but the price you give is too low. Our factory can not make money, but we can't let us lose money.”
