The rise of a small town in shoe country

Chapter 36

At this time last year, the initial installation fee for the phone was more than 2000 yuan. This year, the post office has lowered the price, but the initial installation fee for each phone is still more than 500 yuan.

Jin Yunfei was really reluctant, and the whole family did not agree, except for Yue Xiuqing.

In order to install the phone, Yue Xiuqing asked his father, Yue Dongping, to contact him a lot. The post office promised a discount, and the price was reduced to 150 yuan.

Later, the industrial and commercial office and the township also came forward to help, on the grounds that they supported private enterprises, and the post and telecommunications bureau was happy, reducing the initial installation fee to [-] yuan.

Now it won't work without a phone.

In fact, with the expansion of the business, the telephone has indeed become an urgent need for the shoe factory. To make more than ten calls every day, and to receive more than ten calls, it is necessary to have a telephone of its own.

Finally, at the beginning of April in the lunar calendar, a telephone was installed at home.

Eight hundred yuan was still not enough. One was placed in the office, and the other was disconnected and placed in Jin Yunfei's bedroom. The total cost still exceeded 1000 yuan.

Once the phone is installed, Jin Yunfei no longer feels distressed, because with the phone, it is more convenient to contact the business and the work efficiency is greatly improved.

This morning, Jin Yunfei was filling out the invoice in the office, but he saw a group of old classmates rushing in. It must have been discussed.

Chen Donghua, Wang Jiudan, Xiao Zhanguo, Lin Heping and Yang Qingliu are all good friends who keep in touch with Jin Yunfei.

Surprisingly, even Zheng Sanbao also came.

All the guests came, and Jin Yunfei also enthusiastically invited Zheng Sanbao to sit down.

Zheng Sanbao didn't sit down, but bent over Jin Yunfei and bowed ninety degrees.

Da Fei, last time my mother was really rude, I am here today to apologize to you on behalf of my mother and myself, if you want to beat me or punish you, I, Zheng Sanbao, will never say anything else.

Jin Yunfei laughed loudly, helped Zheng Sanbao up again, and asked, "Sambao, I have long forgotten about your mother cursing the street last time."what do you mean?Are you calling everyone here to buy me a drink?
Zheng Sanbao said: "Bringing wine to accompany the crime is exactly what I mean."

Xiao Zhanguo has a good relationship with Zheng Sanbao, he said: Da Fei, Sanbao is sincere.He looked for me several times, and I finally brought everyone here.

Lin Heping said: Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted, are we all classmates?In today's fashionable words, let's look ahead.

Haha...you don't come here.Knowing that I don't like drinking, but telling me to drink, it is clear that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, and the weasel has no good intentions to pay the chicken New Year's greetings.Speak, tell the truth, or I will not accompany you.

Wang Jiudan said with a smile: Dafei, everyone is jealous when they see you getting rich.

Chen Donghua said: Da Fei, if one person is rich, he is not considered rich, but if everyone is rich, he is truly rich.

Jin Yunfei nodded and asked: Do you all want to do business?Do you want to do some business related to shoes?

Yang Qingliu said: Not bad, not bad.Dafei, you have to give us a hand.

Jin Yunfei said: Old classmates, first of all, I support you unconditionally, except for borrowing money from me.

Everyone laughed. It was a "rule" Jin Yunfei set up when he was in junior high school that he couldn't borrow money, because he had no money.

Jin Yunfei said: "Secondly, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart for your reference.Jiudan, your engineering team is doing well, I don't think there is any need to change careers.In the future, with economic development and improved living conditions, the construction industry will have great potential.So I think you should stay in the construction industry. If you have some spare money, you can invest in it.

Wang Jiudan said: Da Fei, that's what I thought.

Jin Yunfei looked at Zheng Sanbao and Chen Donghua, and said: You two are from Hengfeng Street, and your family has some money.In my opinion, you don't want to make shoes, just sell shoe materials.There is a shoe material wholesale market in Luoqiao, and there is a larger shoe wholesale market in Wenzhou City, where you can buy goods and ship them over for sale.

Zheng Sanbao asked: Dafei, I am in the shoe material business and you are in the shoe business, so you will not stop buying my material, right?

Jin Yunfei smiled and said: I'm not stupid, you have something to sell, why should I go to Luoqiao dozens of miles away to buy it.

Chen Donghua asked: Da Fei, what should I do if I can't sell it?
Jin Yunfei laughed and said: If the shoe materials cannot be sold, they can be stored, unlike the rice cakes sold in your house, which will go bad if they cannot be sold in a day.

Everyone laughed.

Jin Yunfei said: "However, Sanbao, Donghua, don't sell the exact same shoe material, otherwise, I don't know who to buy from, I will be embarrassed."

Xiao Zhanguo said: Da Fei, it's time to talk about the three of us.Zheng Sanpao and Chen Donggua, they are rich, we are poor, you can't leave him behind.

Jin Yunfei asked: You three want to make shoes?

Xiao Zhanguo, Lin Heping and Yang Qingliu all nodded.The three of them were in the same situation, and their economic conditions were not much better than Jin Yunfei's before, and they didn't have any skills, except for farming and doing part-time jobs.

Among them, Xiao Zhanguo and Yang Qingliu had also worked in Wang Jiudan's engineering team.

Jin Yunfei said: I suggest that the three of you don't get together, and start with a single type of footwear, men's shoes, women's shoes and children's shoes, each of you choose one.Of course, when you get on the right track, you can do the three types of shoes together like me.

Lin Heping said: Dafei, the three of us don't understand anything.

Jin Yunfei smiled and said: This is easy to handle. If you have any questions or difficulties, you can always come to me. I will do my best, except for borrowing money.

Yang Qingliu smiled and said: Da Fei, what we lack the most is capital.

Jin Yunfei pointed to Zheng Sanbao, Wang Jiudan, and Chen Donghua, and said with a smile: Compared with me, these three are rich people, so I should go to them for borrowing money.As a person, I advocate that friends cannot do business in partnership, but it is okay to borrow money.

Zheng Sanbao said: No problem, no big money, small money whatever.

Jin Yunfei said: "Besides, if Sanbao and Donghua are really engaged in the business of selling shoe materials, the three of them can get credit, which is also a help."

Zheng Sanbao said: Da Fei, I have one more thing.I have a relative who is from Zegu Town. He specializes in making shoe soles. There are all kinds of shoe soles.He knew I knew you and let me ask you if I could have a relationship with you and if you could use the soles of his shoes.

Nodding his head, Jin Yunfei said: Three treasures, I can't ask for more.You tell him to send over samples of the soles he made.As long as the quality, price and variety are suitable, and you can pay on credit, I am happy to do business with him.

Chatting and chatting from morning to noon.

Everyone dispersed and went back to their homes.

The second younger brother Jin Yunxing popped up and said sarcastically: Brother, you really emancipate your mind.

Jin Yunfei chuckled and asked: Brat, haven't you figured it out yet?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.

Jin Yunxing said angrily.Well, let me give you an example.The soles of the children's shoes we bought were sold for 3000 cents a pair. They told me clearly that a set of molds costs more than 3000 yuan, and the [-] yuan must be spread on the soles.As for the soles of his children's shoes, including us, there are only three customers, and the daily shipments are less than [-] pairs, so the price of the soles cannot be reduced.

Jin Yunxing said if he had realized something: Brother, I seem to understand a little bit.
