Chapter 84
The number of customers is scarce, Sun Xiaolang plans to be a mother-in-law
Sun Xin was walking on the street of Sunjiaji. Several dealers who had opened shops on Shilipai warmly invited the dealers to come and sit in their shops. Sun Xin thanked them with a smile.
At this time, this place seemed to be a prosperous place with shops gathered, but in Sun Xin's opinion, it was not as prosperous as the main road in the village in his previous life. After all, there were two teahouses and KTVs on the village road in his previous life.
There is a small supermarket, four restaurants, plus several Internet cafes and butcher shops.
The Sunjiaji Street in front of us is just a loess road no more than five meters wide, with a row of temporarily built wooden houses on both sides. The appearance looks like the slums in those small countries in South Asia in later documentaries.
Then I thought about it, the total number of residents in the nearby villages is only 7,000 or 20,000 to 30,000. Even if each household has an annual income of five taels of silver, excluding food and drink, each household can give out one tael to his grandchildren every year.
Jiaji comes to consume, and then he gets the land price from this consumption. The profit he can get from Sunjiaji in a year is less than 500 taels.
What's more, it's impossible to receive such high rent from your own land.
It seems that the consumption power of the surrounding residents alone is not enough to support its own market. It is still necessary to build its own store to attract customers near Dengzhou City.
Sun Xin's original plan was to open an oil shop, but after calculating that his income from selling oil alone was not much in a year, Sun Xin finally decided to open a few more stores and sell all the products in Sunjiazhuang here.
This sales method was also common in this era. For example, there was a North-South goods store in Dengzhou City, which sold North-South goods that should be landed at Dengzhou Port.
Sunjiazhuang also has a lot of its own products. For example, the distilled liquor that was planned before can now be made with sufficient food. Sun Xin once went to Dengzhou City for on-site inspection. These days, the government has a monopoly on the alcohol trade.
Yes, but because the quality of government-run alcohol is average but the price is high, village wine brewed privately between villages and towns still accounts for the vast majority of the alcohol consumption market.
Sun Xin could sell his distilled liquor in his own market without worrying about being caught by the government, and Sun Xin planned to sell the distilled liquor not as a separate alcoholic beverage.
Sun Xin smiled and said: "Don't worry, she is a heroic girl and she will definitely be able to convince her family."
Although Hu Sanniang still had some doubts that Sister Gu would not come out to do things, she also felt that Sun Xin was right. Sister Gu was indeed the best person to manage this store.
As he spoke, Sun Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.
But the more Sun Xin thought about it, the more believable she became. According to the description in Water Margin, Sun Xin and Mrs. Gu were the main managers of the hotel in Shilipai. Mrs. Gu was the main manager of the hotel. A dozen dealers were under her control, and if they wanted to kill people, they would kill them.
, If you want to set fire, then set fire. Do you dare to say that this management ability is not good? In addition, Sister Gu is very loyal and does things vigorously and resolutely.
Their farmers are not like the ladies in the city who have to pay attention to not leaving the front door and not stepping out the second door. Hu Sanniang is his daughter-in-law, so it is appropriate for her to manage the store in this capacity.
But now that my wife is pregnant, where can I find such a trustworthy and capable person to visit the store?
Sun Xin thought about it for a long time but had no idea. When he entered the city, he asked this question to Sun Li. Sun Li also shook his head. He said that he knew a few good guys, but they were not able to help people do business in a nice manner.
"But will Sister Gu's family allow her to show up?"
In addition to grain stores and wine shops, Xiao Wang thought that the real main products were various medicinal materials from Dengyun Mountain.
Except for a hero like Sun Li who really can't get used to the spicy taste of liquor these days, Sun Xin recently discovered that the most suitable way to sell liquor is to sell it as a drink additive.
Merchants traveling from north to south can buy a jar of distilled liquor at Sunjiaji, add water and mix it into the official liquor they purchased legally, so that the official liquor they bought can be transformed into two or even two.
Two becomes three, and private wine can also be mixed with legal alcohol for sale, which greatly reduces the number of
The risk of being caught. Sun Xin had specially steamed two jars of wine before and took it to a liquor store in Dengzhou City to promote it using this method. The response was very good, and several liquor stores even secretly asked Sun Xin if he had any
There was no more distilled liquor for them to use, and they were even willing to pay a higher price to buy it.
As for bulk commodities such as peanuts and grains, Sun Xin can sell them to merchants if they want them, but it doesn't matter if no one buys them. Anyway, grains are hard currency these days, whether they are kept as grain storage or sent to Dengzhou City for distribution.
Selling is a sales channel.
The main requirement for his store is to have a loyal executor, and Sister Gu couldn't be better suited to play this role.
There are products that can be sold, but the problem now is where to find a suitable person to manage the store.
When he returned home in the evening, Hu Sanniang also said to him: "I have already asked dad, but he doesn't have any suitable candidates to recommend to you. I'm afraid we have to find one ourselves."
Sun Xin thought about it for a long time and all of his apprentices were rejected. These people would still be of great use if he stayed in Zhuangzi, but Sun Xin was really worried about hiring people from outside.
"Do you think we can ask Sister Gu to come and see this store?"
In fact, it would be very suitable if Hu Sanniang’s belly doesn’t grow big.
Sun Xin stretched out his feet from the wooden basin where they were soaked, took the towel handed by Hu Sanniang and wiped them, "It's hard to find this person. Young people can't be restrained. Our store has just been built, so it's inevitable that the store will be big."
After digging out the gold and silver, I'm afraid if someone old and experienced comes to see the problem, it won't be easy to explain the source of the money when the time comes..."
"I think it works. She is capable of doing things, and she knows our details. The whole family is on Zhuangzi, so why can't we trust her?"
Recently, Sun Xin has asked people to go to Dengyun Mountain to collect herbs. Based on his long-term practice in this era, Sun Xin has discovered that medicinal materials are a big business these days.
10% of people are drug dealers.
Hu Sanniang asked doubtfully: "She is still a young girl who has not left the government. Can she do this?"
"Why don't you just go to her and tell her this? I had a good time with her. If you come back to her later, I'll ask her what she means first."
Sun Xin nodded, and then said with some worry: "Sister Gu has a bad temper, like a big insect. I'm afraid that her temper will not be stable when doing business. Things can be done well, but if the time comes
The door panel hits the guest..."
Hu Sanniang said with a smile: "It's not certain whether I will come or not. You actually dislike my coming."
When Sun Xin got up early the next day and walked out of the yard, he saw Sister Gu carrying another bucket of water to water the ground. He told her that Hu Sanniang had something to do with her. Sister Gu nodded and said that she would go to Hu Sanniang after watering the ground.
