Chapter 57 Not for sale
Take one step at a time, but you haven’t reached the point where you really need to give up.
It was carried onto the shelves by Winona and squatted. The two girls began to pack up the cardboard boxes full of fruits, called a man from her studio to be a coolie. Winona smiled and asked the other party to cheer up, put the fruits with Katie, and put the price tags on it.
The opening process was smoother than Katie imagined. At this moment, a young man riding a bicycle stopped and took off his headphones and asked her: "What are you doing, selling fruits?"
"Yes, do you need it?" Katie asked rhetorically.
Being beautiful is born with an advantage. I didn’t plan to buy it at all. After hearing this, I sent a misunderstanding: “Do you have a watermelon? Let me have a watermelon.”
"Of course there is, you can wait a moment and I will help you find it!"
Seeing the customer coming, Winona was immediately excited. She found the box containing the watermelon and opened it. She casually picked it up: "How is it?"
"Yes, but I only need half of it."
"half?"
Winona looked at Katie. Katie found that she forgot to buy a fruit knife and her head was spinning fast. She didn't want to miss the opening business like this. She said, "You can pick a smaller watermelon. As the first customer today, the price will be cheaper."
The white young man riding a bicycle didn't remember why he wanted to buy watermelon, and didn't mind buying a whole watermelon. He smiled and said, "OK, please help me choose one."
"Thank you, don't worry, the watermelons are delicious this season."
Katie bought it and knew what sound the melon tasted the best. She held it on the electronic scale that I set last night. It was a total of five pounds and twenty pence, and only five pounds and put it in a plastic bag.
There are legal provisions on charging plastic bags in most parts of the UK. According to this provision, any retailer employed more than 250 full-time employees must charge five pence for each disposable plastic shopping bag used by customers. Although it causes some inconvenience, the advantage is that the use of plastic bags has dropped significantly, which has an environmentally friendly effect.
This is a fruit stall, and it is inconvenient to buy too many fruits, so Katie specially bought a box of plastic bags. The price is high, but the more environmentally friendly ones invisibly increase the cost.
They all sell high-quality fruits with high profits, so there is no need to pay attention to this expenditure. After opening the first order, they did not welcome a second customer until they placed all kinds of fruits. There were quite a few people passing by.
This is normal, and it is still working hours, and few people buy fruits in the morning.
Pudding was paying attention to the pedestrians. People who looked at Katie and Winona were obviously more concerned than those who paid attention to fruits. There were so many big boxes next to it, and undoubtedly too much goods were wholesale.
Originally, he wanted to purchase it for two to three days, but forgot that there was no place to place them. The cinema had not opened yet, so Katie wanted to discuss with the theater manager to rent a temporary warehouse from it.
This sales model is completely different from Du Yu's original imagination. He planned to open a store before.
However, let’s not mention the fact that there is no money to invest, setting up a stall can indeed understand the problems in this industry in advance, which is to accumulate some experience. If you think it doesn’t work, then just give up. The cost of failure is not much, so low that he can accept it...
Miss Winona has a special job and is a freelancer. In other words, she often has to do it from morning to night until she has nothing to do, otherwise she would have come to help Katie.
Until now, it is not clear that Pudding is the "Mr. Agent". She was busy in the morning until nearly ten o'clock, so she had time to go to a convenience store to buy sandwiches and water, and doze off and eat breakfast.
"I'm sorry, you come to help and buy these things. The money should be paid by...I'm the one who pays it." Katie glanced at the pudding when she said this. Only she knew that the business belonged to this cat.
"Haha! It's okay, we are friends, don't worry about this. Even if I don't come, I still want to have breakfast, right?"
Winona, who has high emotional intelligence, said that she was just coming to help, experiencing life and passing the time, and never thought about making money by relying on this.
I changed the topic and asked my heart's questions: "How to market an account, I have already told you why I should sell these? There are many other good ways to make money. You are more beautiful than me and can be a model. I know many people who are engaged in this industry. If you only sell for about a month, you will definitely not make too much."
If Katie was really poor, she wouldn't have talked about such sensitive topics to avoid irritating this new friend.
But Katie clearly has good resources, but she chose to sell fruits on the street. Winona didn't understand her approach, so she wouldn't have thought that this was Du Yu's business.
Fruit stalls of this size may make some small money, and it is too difficult to make a fortune by relying on it. At least so far, the business can only be said to be barely OK. I have done several businesses one after another and were bought by office workers who want to use fruits as breakfast.
"I understand what you mean. This is just an attempt to prepare for my next paper." After a casual excuse, Katie didn't want to talk about this embarrassing question. Who made her boss Pudding suddenly want to choose to do business?
"Oh~ So that's it. Look at the message I sent, someone asked where we were and we were going to buy something!"
Katie came over to see it and said with a smile: "This is great. I'll post it now. I feel that only one fruit stall is too monotonous. I should do something to let the pedestrians pay attention to us."
Winona asked her: "What should I do?"
"I'm still thinking of a solution, it's best to refer to how other companies do it."
Just then, a little girl stood in front of the pudding, screaming surprise, and asked Katie, "How much does it cost to buy it?"
Looking at the crowded streets, I got tired of it for a while. Pudding was lying on a pile of foam boxes and closed his eyes to rest. Hearing this, he waved his little claws and silently asked her to go to other places to play. This uncle is not a product.
Katie bent down and supported her knees with her hands, replying, "I don't sell this cat, but can you buy some delicious fruits, do you like strawberries?"
"Give my daughter a box, it's best to have a place to wash it and use it as lunch at noon." The little girl's mother said, holding a briefcase in her hand, she should be working nearby.
The customer is God, but there is no clean water here, and Katie can do anything about it.
When the lady in formal attire said sorry and left after she heard that she had no place to wash, Katie sighed. She had never dealt with these customers.
Du Yu is much calmer and it is not easy to start business. For businesses like fruit stalls, as long as they have a good service attitude and do not use inferior products as a good one, they can slowly accumulate fixed customers.
Something was about to be thought of in his mind: school lunch.
I still remember that during the time I was in the orphanage, fruits would be distributed in the morning, and the cut ones would later turn into whole apples or bananas, washed and put on a plate.
I wonder if I could make a result box and sell it to the school, would there be a market? It seems that office workers would also like it...
