Chapter 404: One Hundred Electric Fans (1/3)
"Of course it's true, otherwise why are we running here so far?"
Mei Xiaoran replied and asked, "I'm afraid you don't have so much inventory."
"Don't say 100 units, 500 units are in stock. We are the general agent of Nanping City. The counties below all get the goods from here."
In fact, the inventory of 500 units of a general agent is really not too much, and it is not worth mentioning in future generations. But this was 1984. The national consumption power was not so high. Table fans were just emerging. In terms of sales, they are definitely no better than ceiling fans and floor fans.
Nanping is not considered to be among the hottest cities in the country. It is located in the transition zone between subtropical and temperate zones. It belongs to the monsoon continental semi-smooth climate and has four distinct seasons. Although it is hot in summer, it is already very cool compared to the stove city. To put it bluntly, table fans are not really popular, and their sales are not very good.
Manager Zhou heard that Mei Xiaoran was asking for a hundred small table fans. It would be a lie to say that he was not surprised... Usually, customers can bring dozens of them at most, and he didn't say who would ask for a hundred fans at once.
"As I just said, I want a hundred units, and you will give me another ten yuan cheaper for each unit based on the current wholesale price. If it works, we will get the goods now."
"Little girl, I also really want to do your business, but if you want me to make me so much cheaper all of a sudden, it's hard for me to do it."
"Anyway, it's up to you to sell it or not, if you see it, if you agree, I won't go to another house. If you don't agree, then we will change the house."
It’s not that the small table fans sold in the Industry and Trade Building are the only one with Diamond brand, but other brands are also available. Mei Xiaoran only finds this one because he thinks the Diamond brand fans are of good quality.
That Manager Zhou was probably suppressed by Mei Xiaoran’s words. He came out to be the manufacturer’s representative, and it was not without sales tasks. Although the goal set by the manufacturer was not high, if he had the blessing of 100 units, it would be certain. Can complete the task as soon as possible, but there is performance to complete the task.
"Manager Zhou, you can think about it. Anyway, we just came here. We are going around."
Mei Xiaoran didn't want to waste time, and turned around with Ouyang Xun and Mei Xiaolei, really planning to go around.
Manager Zhou
Called them, "You young people are really quick-tempered. On such a hot day, you ran all the way, sit down and drink a glass of water first."
—This service attitude is nothing in future generations!
But at the time, it was considered top-notch service.
Manager Zhou quickly poured three cups of tea and pressed them three to the seats. "I said fellow, you really want to buy a hundred electric fans. I'm really happy, but all of them have ex-factory prices. Regardless, I dare not just let it go... If this is to give you a profit and let other merchants know, I won't be able to do business!"
Mei Xiaolei, who hadn't spoken all the time, said suddenly, "What you said is wrong, why do you want to sell to us and advertise this price to others? Are you trying to scold yourself?"
Ouyang Xun couldn't help but laughed, even the sip of tea that he just drank in his mouth was sprayed out.
Manager Zhou was very embarrassed and rubbed his hands in a hurry: "Young man, you are too straightforward to speak."
"My brother is right. No matter what price you sell to us, you will not disclose it. It is just that your manufacturer earns less. But having said that, if you were not the general agent of the manufacturer, I would not run. I come to you to discuss the price. The retailer will definitely buy a high price. I guess everyone knows this, right?"
Mei Xiaoran was not as serious as that, but looked at Manager Zhou with a smile, like an obedient and sensible student, waiting for the teacher to praise!
Manager Zhou sighed: "Little girl, what you said is right, but the price you gave is too low. Our manufacturer can not make money, but we can't make us lose money."
"It's impossible to lose money. It's just that you make a little less. Brother, think about it, but we want a hundred units. If you sell it in pieces, you can't sell a hundred units in a few days. If you want to, just According to what I said, each is 10 yuan cheaper. If you don’t agree, it’s okay. There are so many merchants here, I think there are definitely willing.
Mei Xiaoran stood up and pushed the tea cup to the table, "Big brother, thank you for your tea, but your tea is too expensive, we can't afford it, so let's have a chance to cooperate again in the future."
After speaking, she winked, Ouyang Xun and Mei Xiaolei both stood up and planned to leave with her.
The manager is really panic next week
"Oh, your little girl really... If you don't agree with me, you just leave. On such a hot day, why are you going? Wherever you go is not hot."
He easily opened the table fan placed here as a sample, "Look at how strong the electric fan in our factory is. Although it can't be compared with the ceiling fan, it's not inferior to the floor fan."
"Well, the wind of this electric fan is weird. If the price is right, then we can buy it now."
Mei Xiaoran nodded to her brother, and Mei Xiaolei immediately revealed the money from the black handbag she was holding. The thick pile of great unity looked both real and shocking.
Mei Xiaolei patted the black handbag, "Manager Zhou, if it's OK, just follow my sister's instructions. I will pull the money for you now, and you will load the goods for us."
"A hundred units, how to install it? Are you here by car?"
"Yes, one hundred small trucks driven by my sister are enough."
When she said this, Mei Xiaolei's face was full of excitement and pride. His sister was too much to stand up today.
Manager Zhou was ruthless and agreed, "Well, let's just say that, 100 units, and each unit will give you a profit of 10 yuan, and we will pay for the goods in one hand."
Mei Xiaoran paid the manager here, and installed 100 fans in half an hour.
After loading the goods, Mei Xiaoran drove home.
"Sister, I saw you so badly today. You are so good at driving and asking for prices!"
Mei Xiaolei really admired him. Although his family was in business, he was still born in the door, but his sister's performance today refreshed his understanding. His sister's performance today is really amazing.
Ouyang Xun Da also admired it in his heart. If it hadn't been for this purchase, he wouldn't know that Ran Ran still had so many hidden skills on his body that he couldn't imagine.
"Let's go, let me drive."
Mei Xiaoran is not purely to show off her car skills, anyway, she hasn't touched a car for a long time, and her hands are itchy.
"boarding."
The three of them carried a hundred fans, triumphantly, and drove home.
After arriving in Kangping County, Mei Xiaoran drove the car directly to Xinhua Road and stopped in front of the commercial building.
When the car door opened, Mei Xiaolei jumped down and shouted Li Hongwei, "Uncle, we are back."
