The rise of a small town in shoe country

Chapter 16 Market Development

The important link mentioned by the second brother Jin Yunxing is a real problem. The family lacks a bicycle.

To run business in various villages and towns, deliver goods and pay bills, it is impossible to walk on legs, and it takes time to rely on boats. Running hundreds of miles across the county is impossible without bicycles.

The second brother Jin Yunxing has long wanted to have a bicycle, an old one is fine, and he can go out on it when he has nothing to do. It is also called handsome and can attract the attention of girls.

However, even an old bicycle costs tens or even hundreds of yuan, Jin Yunfei is a bit reluctant.

Jin Yunxing said, brother, don't be reluctant.I've done the math. During this period of time, we worked hard to make shoes, and at least we made seven to eight hundred yuan. Adding the money for selling grain and selling pigs, it should be no less than 1000 yuan.Later, I bought a sewing machine, built a small bungalow, and pulled the wires. It cost about 230 yuan.Brother, our family already has more than 700 yuan, and our family is rich.Brother, don't you often say that if you don't want your child to be caught by a wolf, let's give it up for a while.

Jin Yunfei listened to it, brat, you know the bottom line of our family.

Brother, you also said that only those who are willing to spend money are the ones who can make the most money.Brother, let's buy one.

Principal Gao of the elementary school in the village had two bicycles, a new one and an old one, and had long wanted to sell the old ones. What Jin Yunxing wanted to buy was Principal Gao's old bicycle.

Jin Yunfei took out 70 yuan, folded it up and threw it to Jin Yunxing, and said, take it and buy it, but I have two requests.One is to buy Principal Gao's pump as well.Second, if the money is not enough, use your own small treasury to top it up.

Jin Yunfei took the money and went away with a squeak.

17-year-old Jin Yunxing, like a child, bought a bicycle and rode it in his small yard. His younger brothers and sisters competed to be passengers.

Grandpa laughed and scolded, more than 70 yuan, a pair of prodigal sons.

But it was this old bike with peeling paint that played an unexpected role.

For the next month or so, apart from the every four and nine markets on Hengfeng Street, the two Jin Yunfei and Jin Yunxing brothers went out early and returned late, wearing stars and moon, and traveled to various markets in the county.

Every time I go out, I bring dozens of pairs of cloth shoes with me. Every time I go to a market, my second brother Jin Yunxing sets up a stall, and Jin Yunfei runs the store by himself.

The so-called shop running is to take sample shoes and find a fixed store, usually a store that sells handmade daily necessities, including shoes.

Jin Yunfei adopts the method of consignment, and sells the shoes to the store at a wholesale price. The store only needs to pay half of the money in advance, and the previous payment will be paid in full at the next checkout. As for whether the shoes can be sold or not, the store is not responsible.

Not to mention, Jin's cloth shoes are well-known. In order to prove that his shoes are Jin's cloth shoes, every time Jin Yunfei went to a shop, he took out a "certificate" issued by the village.

The hard work paid off, and the two brothers reaped a lot. Jin Yunxing set up a retail stall and sold more than 700 pairs of cloth shoes.The Jinyun Feipao store has also successfully obtained the approval of dozens of stores, and the consignment sales of cloth shoes have reached as many as a thousand pairs.

Jin Yunfei also made an appointment with the consignment store to deliver the goods and settle the bill every two weeks.

The task of delivery and checkout was handed over to the second brother Jin Yunxing. Since riding a bicycle, this guy has become more and more energetic in his work, and he no longer saves money in his small treasury.

At home, there are also three major changes.One is the joining of Aunt Jin Yuee.Second, electricity was connected to the village, and the Jin family finally had access to electric lights.The third is that there are three more helpers in the family, all of whom are old ladies in the village. They usually have a good relationship with the Jin family and are good sisters of grandma.

As a result of the three major changes, the daily production capacity has been greatly improved, and sixty or seventy pairs of cloth shoes can be made.

There are good changes and there are bad changes.

Boss Zhao Yunlai didn't come to buy Jin's cloth shoes again, and people still appeared in the market on Hengfeng Street, but he just didn't patronize the Jin's shoe stall.Boss Yu Beiyang appeared occasionally, and he bought cloth shoes from the Jin family, but his purchases were not large, either dozens of pairs or hundreds of pairs, not as much as Zhao Yunlai's.

Jin Yunfei is not angry with Zhao Yunlai, he thinks it must be because he has not done a good job in some aspects. In business, he is willing to sell and buy, and he cannot force it.

Fortunately, he has now set up a "sales network" throughout the county, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell his cloth shoes.

This day was the Hengfeng Street Market again. As usual, Jin Yunfei set up a stall with his eldest sister and second brother. There were more than 400 pairs of cloth shoes in four baskets.

Electric lights have been installed on the playground. Although it is not very bright, it is enough to see people clearly.

Autumn is a bit cool, but it is a good season for selling cloth shoes. Not long after the shoe stall was set up, a few small vendors appeared and sold more than [-] pairs at once.

The eldest sister sells shoes to collect money, and she is very familiar with it. Jin Yunfei still leans on the electric pole, squinting his eyes to pay attention to the eldest sister's shoe sale.

The pole is at hand, if someone steals shoes or money, or bullies the big sister, Jin Yunfei will grab the pole without hesitation and smash it out.

The second brother couldn't sit still, he had long since disappeared, and he must have gone to visit other people's stalls again.

At dawn, Jin Yunfei finally saw Boss Yu Beiyang.

Yu Beiyang bypassed the shoe stall, squatted down beside Jin Yunfei, took the cigarette Jin Yunfei handed over, lit it up and smoked it.

Boss Yu, how much do you want today?

One hundred round mouths, one hundred cover backs.

Jin Yunfei got up, took the two baskets covered with sacks from the booth, and put them beside Beiyang.

Brother, I invite you to dinner at noon, shall we chat?
Right in his arms, Jin Yunfei wanted to chat with Yu Beiyang a long time ago.

Boss Yu, okay, it's in the small restaurant opposite Fatty Rice Cake Shop, but I must invite you.

Yu Beiyang nodded briskly and said yes, bought two hundred pairs of shoes, paid for them, called for helpers, put the shoes into sacks, and left with the sacks on his shoulders.

The second brother Jin Yunxing is back.

Brother, it’s weird, I walked around the playground more than a dozen times, but I didn’t see the boss Zhao Yunlai, brother, has he stopped doing the cloth shoe business?
Jin Yunfei smiled and said, second brother, you should ask Boss Zhao this question yourself.

In fact, Jin Yunfei also had this question in his heart, but he was too lazy to know, and he didn't want to ask Zheng Sanbao about it.

Throughout the morning, a total of 330 pairs of shoes were sold. Jin Yunfei packed the remaining [-] or [-] pairs of shoes in a sack and ordered his second brother to ride a bicycle to several consignment shops in Chengguan Town.

After the second brother left, Jin Yunfei and his eldest sister closed the stall, one bought vegetables, the other purchased raw materials for making shoes, and met at Hebutou after shopping.

The eldest sister Jin Xiaoling can also rock the boat, better than the second brother. Jin Yunfei watched the elder sister rock the boat and leave safely, so he went to see Yu Beiyang with peace of mind.

What Jin Yunfei didn't expect was that besides Yu Beiyang sitting at the small table by the window in the small restaurant, there was also his old classmate, Chen Donghua from the fat rice cake shop across the street.

The two were talking happily and even had a drink.

Jin Yunfei asked curiously while passing the cigarette, Donggua, how did you know the boss?

Chen Donghua said, it's simple, Boss Yu often comes to eat rice cakes, and they will be cooked after coming and going.

Jin Yunfei smiled and said, I see, I thought you also sold cloth shoes.

Chen Donghua smiled and said, Da Fei, let's not gossip, I have a big piece of news, which has something to do with you, do you want to hear it?
