Everyone should do business based on their abilities. Although Aunt Zhou is not honest in doing things, this is the intrigue in the business world and it is inevitable.
He comforted everyone: "Don't take this matter to heart. We'll talk about it when my aunt comes back."
Because she was helped away by hand, Shen Chi estimated that with the temperament of her aunt and father, she would rush back tonight.
Before his aunt came back, Shen Chi drew a few more new headdress patterns, then took them to the workshop and asked Liu Cuihua and others to stop making clothes and work on the headdress.
Shen Chi talked about the production process of the new headwear, and Liu Cuihua understood it after having been working on it for so long. Everyone then divided the work and cooperated, and started processing at full power. At this time, Shen Chi didn't care about saving fabrics, and used all the uncut ones. Good stuff.
When finishing work in the evening, Shen Chi told Liu Cuihua and asked her to find more people to come over tomorrow, as he would be useful.
Because she wanted to stay with Shen Chi and the others at night, she handed over the matter to her future daughter-in-law, Peng Qiaozhen.
After having dinner and washing up, everyone went to bed early. Liu Cuiyun and her daughter Sun Ling slept in Hu's room.
In the middle of the night, there was indeed a roar of handrails at the entrance of the courtyard, and Shen Changlin and Shen Aizhi rushed back overnight as expected.
"Dad, aunt, why are you traveling so late at night?" Although he had already guessed it, he still asked worriedly when he saw his father and the others rushing back to Shen Chi all night.
"It's a waste of money to stay in a guest house, and it's not convenient to have so many live-in guest houses on the bus." Shen Aizhi said as she jumped down to hold on to the handrail.
Looking at the pile of cloth in the handrail box like a hill, Shen Aizhi said with a distressed look: "This cart of goods cost more than two thousand yuan."
"It's okay, we will all earn back the money." Shen Chi comforted with a smile.
The movement at the door also woke Liu Cuihua and Sun Ling, and they were surprised to see Shen Changlin rushing back overnight: "Why are you back so late?"
When I saw the cart full of cloth, I was shocked again: "Why did you buy so much cloth at once? Where to put it?"
"Just put it in the three newly built tile-roofed houses." Shen Aizhi said with a smile.
Those three tile-roofed houses were originally built by Shen Changlin as her home, but now they had to be used to store goods.
Everyone was busy for more than two hours and finally moved the cloth into the house. Shen Chi also took the opportunity to order a bowl of noodles for his father and aunt. They must have not eaten it so late, and he also cracked two poached eggs.
While Shen Aizhi was eating noodles, Liu Cuihua told Aunt Zhou and others about robbing business. After hearing this, Shen Aizhi said angrily: "I know these people are restless."
"Gu, don't worry, I already have a plan to solve this problem." Shen Chi said with a smile.
"How do you solve it?" Shen Aizhi and Liu Cuihua were both curious.
"Originally, the most taboo thing in doing business was price wars. If Aunt Zhou and the others went retail, we wouldn't have to deal with them. But now they plan to go wholesale and compete with us at low prices.
There are only a few of them now. Once they form a situation, the entire Yuanjia Village will belong to them, which will be a disaster for us. So this time we must completely defeat them and they will lower their prices. Then we will accompany them down.
I've done the math, Aunt Zhou and the others bought their fabrics in the town, and the cost alone is much more expensive than ours. If our headdress costs 18 cents, their extra size costs 25 cents, and one headdress costs just 25 cents. It takes 28 to 30 cents to make a profit, so we set the price at 26 cents.
Tomorrow, aunt, take the new style headwear that we have been working on in the past two days to the canteen in the town, give them some new headwear, the price is 26 cents, and ask them to take our goods." Shen Chi made an analysis and ordered Liu Cui was dumbfounded, and secretly marveled at how good his little brain was. He immediately thought of a countermeasure as soon as he said it. No wonder he and others were asked to go all out to produce headdresses.
With Shen Chi's idea, Shen Aizhi felt relieved. After finishing the noodles, he washed the bowls, washed them again, and everyone went to sleep.
Shen Aizhi originally slept in Mrs. Hu's room, but now that mother and daughter Liu Cuihua were sleeping, she had no choice but to share the same bed with Shen Fang.
Early the next morning, Shen Aizhi went to town after breakfast, and her future wife also brought seven or eight young men with her.
Shen Chi asked them to take the tiaras to a canteen in a nearby town to sell them. The price was set at 26 cents, and he told everyone that they would get a penny commission for every tiara they sold. The more they sold, the more they would achieve.
When the young men heard this, they immediately took the samples and got on their bicycles and set off one after another.
"Xiao Chi, can we also sell headwear?" Laisheng's daughter-in-law Chen Ailian said excitedly when she heard about the commission.
Shen Chi enlightened: "Auntie, why are you so short-sighted? You are now half the owner of the clothing factory. There will be dividends at the end of the year. You just need to seize the time to make headwear. The more they sell, the more you will do." Wouldn’t the dividends be greater?”
"Yes, at any rate, I also invested in the sewing machine." Laisheng's wife suddenly realized and smiled.
Everyone also laughed, and after laughing, someone asked: "Is it too late to buy shares now? I will also move my sewing machine here."
"It's early. If you want to invest in shares in a few days, you'll have to pay real money." Shen Chi said with a smile.
Then several more women from Tangsun Village were interested.
Shen Chi's plan was very effective. He happened to be at the cost price of Aunt Zhou and others. He still made a profit, but Aunt Zhou and others worked in vain. The headdress that was finally sold was sold out after Shen Aizhi's visit. Returned goods one after another.
I originally wanted to sell them cheaper, but the styles and colors of the headdresses sold at other stores were more exquisite than theirs. They couldn't sell them to others at the same price, unless they lost money.
They wanted to go to the next town, but the canteen in the next town had already been taken over by Shen Chi, leaving only the county town to go to. But the county town was too far away, and it wasn't worth a trip to the county town with the few headdresses they had.
"Sister-in-law Zhou, what should I do if I can't sell this tiara?" Wangzi's mother, Aunt Wang, asked anxiously.
In order to make this headdress, each of them pooled together twenty yuan.
Erya's mother, Aunt Zhou, was also panicked at this time, but she still forced herself to say: "Tomorrow we will go next door and have a look."
After saying that, the women all walked back home in frustration. When they passed by the door of Shen Chi's yard, they heard the sound of sewing machines coming from the yard. There were at least a dozen of them. When they heard the voices inside, Aunt Zhou was heartbroken. She was surprised and asked: "Then Shen Aizhi's clothing factory has suddenly grown to such a scale?"
With twinkling eyes, she quickly left with a few others with a guilty conscience. When she returned home and saw the headdresses she had made, Aunt Zhou put all the fabrics for the headdresses into her pocket, and then quietly walked to Shen Chi's house.
Arriving at Shen Chi's house, Shen Aizhi went to town but did not return. Only Shen Changlin was at home, so Aunt Zhou found Shen Changlin and said, "Brother Changlin."
