Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1867 Big Business

I could see that this was a powerful character, so I hummed and said, "Now that we've talked about this, let's get straight to the point. I need to ship the goods as soon as possible. You can supply the goods and then transport them to me. Time." It’s been wasted for too long. I see that the environment here is safe and the equipment is complete. You don’t have to go directly to the line and package it together for me. The products are shipped directly to me. We can easily negotiate the price and save transportation costs!”

The landlady was a little tempted, but immediately shook her head and said, "I don't have the equipment to pack it!"

I immediately said: "This is not easy. Packaging and packaging equipment can be shipped at any time! As long as your place is big enough and there are enough workers!"

The landlady still hesitated and said, "Do you know why I haven't purchased any packaging equipment?"

I also asked curiously: "Yeah, I just felt strange after visiting. You can obviously make a complete production line to make finished products, why don't you make it yourself?"

Seeing that I was sincere, the lady boss explained: "One is the finished product from me. No matter how it is packaged, everyone is fake. The price is shockingly low and there is no money to be made. Furthermore, the packaging of genuine products is becoming more and more popular nowadays." We are getting more and more particular about it. The anti-counterfeiting signs are very good and difficult for us to imitate. Another point is that we don’t have enough manpower. Our small workshops are all manual production. The cost of mechanization of equipment is too high and the sound is too loud. The investment is too big, and we are afraid of being investigated. If we are found out, we will lose everything! It’s not as good as we only have midstream suppliers!”

I nodded and expressed my appreciation: "The boss lady is really beautiful and so smart! This is also a common problem we encounter! I have money, but I can't spend it. To digest the money, I have to go somewhere. It’s biased and needs to be digested quickly, but if we use these to invest in production lines and processing plants, we have to go through banks and many regulatory authorities. Therefore, we have no choice but to find you! I think we can cooperate. It’s a win-win situation! I have money, I can invest it, and I’m not afraid of losing money. As for you, you have some production conditions, you just need to give me the product!”

The landlady seemed to have seen a business opportunity and said happily: "That's the best! But we have to agree, don't implicate me with the things you do!"

I promised: "Don't worry, you just need to help me produce the product. I have a officially registered trademark and legal sales channels. Everything is legal, including the outer packaging I give you, but it is guaranteed to be genuine." Yes! What you make is a real product, but the content inside is fake!"

The landlady said with some worry: "What if a consumer complains? After this investigation, we still have to take responsibility!"

I cut my throat and said: "You are a delicate woman. You must wear makeup on a daily basis. You must know these cosmetics better than me! How big a difference can they make? I say this eye cream is better than that one every day, and this facial mask is more comfortable than that one." Yes, but it is actually just a psychological effect and an advertising effect. How big a difference can it really make? I will repackage the batch you made and call it an upgraded product. As long as there are no side effects, users will definitely use it. They will definitely feel that it is different from before. Then I will explain that it is an upgraded version, but the price is still the same, and they will definitely be more willing to buy it! This is a psychological suggestion that makes consumers feel that they are taking advantage of it, so that they can sell the product. Come!"

The landlady curled her lips and said, "I always thought I was the profiteer, but compared to you, I am a kind businessman!"

I said disdainfully: "You are really not a businessman! You are not a businessman without treachery. It seems that you have not reached that level yet! How about it? Can we cooperate?"

The lady boss said without any hesitation this time: "I can definitely do it. It's hard to find a big boss like you. I'm really looking forward to working together!"

I hummed and said, "Aren't you worried that I'll hurt you?"

The landlady showed a nice smile and said: "There is no smoke without fire. I have to make waves to make money, right?"

A younger person would probably not be able to resist this double entendre. Fortunately, I am a person who has been through strong winds and waves. I just smiled and said: "I heard that you don't have enough manpower here. Don't delay my important event." !”

The landlady frowned and said, "Did the cage tell you?"

I shook my head and said, "You still need to talk about it? I'll know it right away!"

The landlady did not hide it: "The main reason is that there are not enough people in the raw material processing area. The stuff is toxic and if you smoke it too much, it is bad for your health. We can't find workers at all, and we can't hire formal workers. You know what we do." It’s not legal, and this is what worries me the most!”

I yelled: "Then you have to solve it yourself, I can't help you!"

The landlady hummed, as if she had decided something, picked up the phone, dialed a number and said, "Come here!"

I looked at her puzzled, and she smiled and said: "I have a very clever little guy under me recently, who is the director of the factory over there. I will tell him the situation and let him think of a way to solve it. You Please help me find out what this guy is like, although he is very smart, I always feel that there is something wrong with him, I am afraid he is not from our local area!"

She said "local" with an emphasis, which meant that she was not from her circle. Of course I understood, so I nodded and said, "Do you want me to try him?"

The landlady hesitated for a moment and said, "You're not trying to resort to manipulation, are you? That's not necessary. I like him quite a lot, and he's still a college student! I still want him to take over, and I plan to retire after just a few more orders!" "

I smiled and said, "Thinking of retiring at such a young age? Are you planning to get married and have children?"

The landlady didn't even blush, and said without taking it seriously: "Isn't getting married and having children just to satisfy your men? I'm rich, why should I please and satisfy your men? I just know that this line of work is not easy. , I might end up dead one day, I don’t want to make money and have no chance to spend it! I’ll spend the rest of my life in jail!”

I hummed and said, "What can happen to you, who is just making trouble? If you are caught, the most you can get is a fine! Judging from your behavior, you are not so careful, are you?"

The landlady sighed and said, "It's not as easy as you said. There are many things that only you know!"

At this time, the office door rang, and the landlady said: "Come in!"

A young man pushed open the door and walked in. He was stunned for a few seconds when he saw me. He immediately recovered his composure and asked the landlady: "What do you want from me?"

The landlady looked at him, hummed and said, "Sit down, I'll introduce you to a big boss!"

I waved my hand and said: "Forget it, I'm not a big boss. I heard your boss lady said you are very smart!?"

The young man replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "It's not that clever, it's just obedient!"

The landlady smiled and said: "Okay, Xiaowai, stop pretending. I still don't know what kind of person you are! You are ambitious, but you can't hide it! But, I like it! In this way, we picked up a big List, now I’m worried that you don’t have enough manpower, so you have to think of a way!”

Xiaowai looked at me and asked, "What's your list?"

I snorted and said, "Who are you talking to? Is this your attitude? Your boss lady is very polite to me!" Xiaowai curled his lips and said, "You are not my boss!"

I said displeased: "But I am your customer!"

Xiao Wai ignored me and said to the proprietress: "Is this person reliable? Can I not accept this order?"

The landlady said somewhat displeasedly: "This is not what you should ask!"

Xiao Wai said a little aggrievedly: "Madam boss, there are many bad people outside now, we still have to be careful! It's not easy for me to stabilize here. If you ask me to add people now, the risk will definitely become greater!"

The landlady said seriously: "Then you go and think of a solution! Where were the students from your school before? Come find them all!"

Xiao Wai said in embarrassment: "It's not safe! There are family members. If you can't find anyone, call the police! Give them wages and ask them to report that their families are safe, but their families don't believe it! Students can't use it!"

The landlady said angrily: "What about the people in Kunming? Didn't they say that after training, they can be shipped here for use?"

Xiao Wai frowned and said: "No one has sent it here during this period. It is probably because the road is not safe and I am afraid that one or two of them will escape! We have to wait until it is safe before we dare to transport it here!"

The landlady said impatiently: "I don't have time, and I can't afford to wait. Please contact me as soon as possible!"

Xiao Wai said in confusion: "Isn't your sister in charge over there? How about that?"

The landlady suddenly lowered her face and said, "Do I need you to teach me how to do things? I don't want to contact them! You go and contact them and find a way to solve the manpower problem as soon as possible. I'll give you three days!"

After saying that, he looked at me and consulted me. I nodded and said, "Three days is enough!"

Then the landlady said to Xiao Wai impatiently: "Okay, you can go out first and think of your own solution!"

When Xiao Wai left, he didn't forget to give me a blank look.

I was dissatisfied and said to the landlady: "What's going on with him? Is he so hostile to me? I don't seem to have offended him, right?"

A smile appeared on the originally sad face of the landlady and she said, "Are you jealous? Children are like this. It's always unpleasant to see their favorite toys in other people's hands!"

I was stunned: "Who is the toy? Whose hands is it!?"

This time the landlady’s face really turned red and she said, “I was just trying to make a metaphor!”

I pretended not to understand and continued to ask: "Can he handle it? How old is he? He is so emotional and shows everything on his face. How can he accomplish anything big?"

The landlady seemed to think what I said made sense, but then she shook her head and said, "Don't underestimate him so much. Isn't it normal for people of their age to have unstable personalities and be a little arrogant? Young people, no Arrogant, what do you call a young man! Among his peers, he is the most thoughtful! He is not afraid to tell you, he was dragged into a pyramid scheme by us in the past, and he was originally treated as a fat sheep, but But this guy just relied on his own ability to sneak into the headquarters and became the leader!"

I was a little surprised and said: "MLM? It seems that we are similar. I thought I would hurt you! You are trying to hurt me!"

The landlady said seriously: "We'd better not interfere with each other. We just need to cooperate in this business. I don't want to know about your business, and you'd better not get involved in my business!"

I said disdainfully: "Then you really think too much. I look down on you the most... Ah, no, I just don't have that much interest in your MLM business!"

The lady boss naturally understood what I meant and explained: "We have stopped doing it a long time ago, so I will tell you. Otherwise, you think I will tell you this! The current business is our most profitable. !”

I still looked disdainful and said, "What's your current business? Making fake cosmetics? This is just a small business. If you really want to make a fortune, if this deal goes well, I can show you a clear path!"

I originally thought that the landlady would be tempted, but unexpectedly, the landlady said with the same disdain: "Yes, after finishing this business, I can also show you a clear way to make money every day without your head in your belt, you It’s not easy to make money!”

I exclaimed, "Really? Then I really didn't see it! I really underestimated you! Why don't you tell me and let me envy you!"

The landlady hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you do with a project worth 1500 billion yuan a year and a profit of 400 billion yuan?"

Now I was really shocked. The volume this year alone was astonishing, and with a profit margin of nearly 26%, what kind of business could be so easy to do?Then, I blurted out: "Aren't you going to sell drugs, are you? That business is going to cost you your head, and I won't do it. Besides, that thing is so unreasonable!"

The landlady made a sound and said: "What are you thinking? If it is really drug trafficking, it is impossible to only make that little profit? It is not equal to the income. If you catch it once, it will take your head!"

Then he felt that he had talked too much, so he stopped and said: "It's a profitable business anyway! I've told you too much. I just want to tell you that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. Don't be too self-righteous and do evil things." , there are also ways to do evil! Your so-called business may be just a trivial matter in the eyes of others! In the end, you realize that you are the frog in the well! "

I pretended to be a little angry and said: "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson! You'd better not brag to me. I've never seen any trouble. You MLM people have no real ability except bragging." !”

Now the boss lady felt insulted and snorted: "You are said to be a frog in the well, but you still don't accept it! You don't even know how big the outside world is!? After this order is completed, I can introduce my boss to you. Once you get to know each other, you will realize how small you are!"

I said, "I know you are just a chess piece. Stop talking nonsense. I will ask people to bring the equipment over tomorrow. The space here will be freed up, and production will start the day after tomorrow!"
