"Little girl, if I buy more of these, can you give me a cheaper price? How about I buy four and give you ten yuan?"
Just when Xiang Jin and the others were selling vigorously, an uncle in his forties suddenly stood up and negotiated the price with them.
The originally noisy surroundings became quiet almost as soon as he said these words, and then some people started to cheer, "Yeah, it's cheaper. If it's cheaper, I'll buy two more."
Everyone looked at Xiang Jin and the two of them eagerly, and Xiang Jin raised the corner of his mouth, still maintaining a decent smile.
"Uncle, I'm really sorry. I can't help you with this. Three yuan and fifty cents is already the lowest price. After excluding the cost, we can only earn you fifty cents each at most.
With your price, not only can we not recover the original cost, but we also have to pay a dollar each, which is really unaffordable. I hope you can understand."
If he hadn't known the specific cost of making these things, looking at her very serious and sincere look, Yan Chen would have thought that the actual profit of their products was really only fifty cents.
She always made him feel unexpected and surprised. Just like at this moment, she made him feel that she was born to do business. Look at her ability to tell lies.
His expression is so sincere that it's hard not to believe him.
Someone said, "Then you can sell us three yuan each as a favor, and we will introduce guests to you when the time comes."
Xiang Jin still had a polite smile as always, "Auntie, this is really bad, because this thing does not belong to us alone, but there are several people who work together. They make it at home, and the two of us are out to sell it.
of.
When the time comes, we will go back and split the accounts with them. Let me tell you, don’t look at the fact that we sold so much today, but in fact, when we break it down, each of us can only get about ten cents for a set of items. We are just doing nothing and making money.
Just a little pen and ink.
Auntie, don't look at this thing. Although it is small, it is very difficult to make, and it is easy to hurt your hands. It took the five of us a full week to make it.
Woolen cloth.
According to this calculation, each of us actually only earns a little over one or two yuan a day.
You just have to rush to the field one less time, take two trains less, or eat meat one less time, but this can save your hands from injury for at least two years. What’s more, our food supply system is based on a reward and punishment system.
.
Using this to peel corn will allow you to hand over the grain in advance, and then you can go back and get some more. Isn't that grain better than buying this small corn peeling device?"
Someone said, "Oh, it's true."
Then someone else said, "Oh, forget it, forget it, three and a half dollars is three and a half dollars. It's not easy for a kid to make some money doing this. Come on, get me two pairs."
The man handed over seven yuan, which Yan Chen accepted, and Xiang Jin handed him two pairs of small items.
However, the person who just said he would give Xiang Jin and the others ten yuan for four pairs also said, "Then give me two pairs."
Someone still remembered it and asked, "Hey, don't you want to buy four sets?"
The man said, "Originally, if the little girl could lower the price for me, I would buy four sets and take them back to share with my brothers and sisters. But the little girl said she couldn't do it, so I could only buy two sets.
, I’ll buy one for my parents and use another one for myself. If they want it, I’ll sell it myself. I really can’t afford that much.”
The person who asked the question nodded.
Then Xiang Jin looked apologetic and said, "Well, I'm really sorry, uncle. I can't get any cheaper."
The uncle also handed them seven yuan and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Xiang Jin handed over the goods to him, and after that, there was no one to bargain with, and Xiang Jin and the others' sales returned to the previous smoothness.
Everyone in the world is curious and has a herd mentality, so when some people saw a lot of people surrounding Xiang Jin and the others, they also gathered around.
After I heard or saw with my own eyes that Xiang Jin or others could quickly detach the corn kernels from the cob, I also wanted to buy one and try it.
Therefore, Xiang Jin and the others have had no interruption in their customers since they had the first and second buyers.
Therefore, within an hour, they sold only about ten sets of goods.
Looking at the sun rising high in the sky, and not many people in the entire vegetable market at the moment, Yan Chen asked suggestively, "How about we change the position and sell again?"
Xiang Jin nodded, and then the two stood up to close the stall.
Just as they were about to leave, a well-dressed, medium-sized, middle-aged man in his thirties, with a slightly overweight body, walked towards them carrying vegetables and meat.
When he stood next to them, he asked Xiang Jin, "Uncle, do you also want to buy something for shucking corn?"
The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes, I want to buy it, but I want to buy more from you."
Xiang Jin said, "I wonder how many uncles you want to buy? We have about ten sets left."
The middle-aged man first introduced himself, "I am the person in charge of the town supply and marketing cooperative. My surname is Pan and my name is Pan Zhengyang. I have been observing you here for a long time. I think your stuff is very practical, so I want to order one from you."
Bulk shipment?"
Yan Chen was a little surprised, but Xiang Jin was pleasantly surprised. She intuitively wanted to take a big order, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she said, "I wonder how much uncle wants to order from us?"
Pan Zhengyang said, "In this case, if you have nothing to do next, go to the supply and marketing cooperative with me to talk. I will also send this dish back. If you don't send it back, I will probably have to cover up the smell."
Xiang Jinzheng was about to agree and say "yes", but Yan Chen spoke one step ahead of her, "We still have some things to do, how about in the afternoon, around two or three o'clock, then we can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find you?"
Pan Zhengyang looked at Xiang Jin and hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, let's meet in the afternoon."
After the other party left, Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen with raised eyebrows.
Yan Chen seemed to understand her confused look, so he explained jokingly, "I can understand your excitement, but there is always no harm in being more careful."
After being reminded like this, Xiang Jin suddenly understood. Then he felt annoyed and slapped his forehead and said, "That's right. Look at my brain. When I think about the possibility that we will take a big order, I think about things excitedly."
It was not thorough, but fortunately you stopped me in time, so I won't do it again in the future."
After all, in the eyes of others, they are still two underage children. They hold hundreds of dollars in their hands. They are very conspicuous everywhere and can easily be targeted.
Although it is said that the intention of harming others is indispensable, the intention of guarding against others is indispensable. They still have to be more careful. After all, it is not easy to make money in this era.
Although that person is said to be from the supply and marketing cooperative, they don't know whether he is from the supply and marketing cooperative. What if he is not?
What should I do if I take them to a completely unfamiliar place and then join forces with other gangsters to rob them? You have to know that there are still a lot of homeless people such as pickpockets on the street."
Yan Chen raised his lips and smiled slightly, "I just said it casually. It doesn't necessarily have to be taken seriously. Maybe he is really the person in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Xiang Jin said, "That's great, then we are in luck today. Alas, if that person is really from the supply and marketing cooperative, and you say he wants to talk to us, it must involve price. You say we
What price should I give them then?”
At this moment, a middle-aged woman with a flushed face hurriedly came to them and said, "Little girl, young man, do you have that corn-shelling thing for sale here? It is said that you can shell three or four corns in a day."
A hundred pounds of corn kernels won’t hurt your hands?
I saw many people talking about this magical object for shucking corn, so I asked about it."
It turns out that he came here because of his reputation!
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen stopped talking, and then nodded, "Well, we sell them here, how many do you want, auntie?"
"Just give me two. How much do they cost?"
"Three and a half dollars each, two for seven dollars."
"Oh, okay, here you go!"
Yan Chen took the money, gave the goods to Xiang Jin, and then asked her if she knew how to use it. The woman was a little embarrassed and said, "Then you can teach me."
Then Xiang Jin took out two corn cobs from his back basket to demonstrate to her, and then let her operate them again. The woman patted her legs and said, "Oh, it's really easy to use. What about you?"
Bring me two more, and I’ll take two back to my parents’ family.”
Then Xiang Jin gave her two more and told her that they could be used as batteries and plugs, and told her how to take out the cords.
Xiang Jin explained everything to her in detail, and the woman listened attentively and wrote everything down. After giving them the money, she thanked them repeatedly before leaving.
Four more were sold at once. Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were very happy. Xiang Jin suggested, "How about we wait and see?" She wanted to sell out all the remaining ones in the basket.
Yan Chen saw what she was thinking, so he nodded, but also suggested, "Let's find a slightly shady place." Her face turned red from the sun.
Xiang Jin didn't refuse, so the two of them moved to a nearby big poplar tree.
The two of them stayed there for about forty minutes before finally selling out all the items in their backpacks.
After the two packed up their backpacks and stools, Xiang Jin asked, "Then where are we going next?"
