Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 17 Printing a Street
Wang Yiyuan was a little surprised, and said, this is what you called me to be a consultant today?
Xiao Yunhua said, yes.My high school classmate said that for all the franchisees of their biscuits, the headquarters is very strict about two points, one is the formula and related materials, and the other is the packaging bags, which are all distributed by their company.You just heard from them that the biscuits are very popular now. There are a lot of biscuits in a bag, and I think there must be some money in it.

Seeing that Wang Yiyuan didn't respond, Xiao Yunhua added that my classmate basically had the final say on their company's East China region.

The biscuit packaging bag, that is, printing a pattern on kraft paper and adding a few words, is still very simple to make.Wang Yiyuan thought for a while and said.

Xiao Yunhua said it was simple.I asked my classmates, I have their reserve price, and the price is not bad.I'm not going to hide it from you, as long as it's not higher than [-] cents, we have hope to win it.

Wang Yiyuan roughly calculated in his mind, and said, the cost is only a little more than ten cents?

Xiao Yunhua said, I have calculated carefully, and the cost is about 5 cents. After tax and shipping costs are included, a paper bag should still have a net profit of about [-] cents.According to the amount of [-] a day, and then excluding management costs, about [-] yuan can be dropped in a month.

Wang Yiyuan said, since you have connections and channels, and money is easy to control, then you can do it.

Xiao Yunhua said, but there are still a few problems.One is to deposit money. It turns out that their company pays monthly according to the regulations. We definitely can't do this.My classmate said that it is possible to settle once a week, and even opened a back door to settle in cash.In addition, the printing factory needs to pay in advance, so it needs to pay about 8 to [-] yuan in advance.Second, I don't know how long this biscuit can last.So now I haven't considered whether I should resign and do it. You know that the end of the year is coming soon, and resigning is not economically cost-effective.

Resign?Are you thinking too much?Wang Yiyuan looked into Xiao Yunhua's eyes and said, I advise you, you must not think about this.Who knows what will happen to this biscuit?Besides, for such a small amount of money, it's not very reliable for you to be a technical person and go out to do sales.

Xiao Yunhua did not speak.After drinking tea for a while, Wang Yiyuan asked again, you must have had an idea long ago, and fart as soon as you feel like it, what exactly do you want to do?
Xiao Yunhua tentatively said, how about we do it together?Wang Yiyuan said, the two of us together?How to do it?
Xiao Yunhua said, I will pay [-] yuan for the advance, and you will pay the rest.In terms of business, you will come forward to do it, but the premise is not to go through our own company, but to find an outside factory to do it.In the end, the profit is four for me and six for you.

Wang Yiyuan didn't speak for a moment, thought for a while, and said, cooperation is completely possible.I see it this way, the profit is half and half, I am more convenient than you, at most it is just more errands.

He paused for a moment, but continued to say frankly, the key problem is that I am a little tight on money now, and I can't afford much money at all.

Xiao Yunhua made up his mind and said with a smile, I knew you were a good friend.Okay, I'll take out all my wealth, [-] yuan, I really don't have any more.

Wang Yiyuan said happily, OK, we have a happy cooperation.The two stood up, raised their cups, used tea as wine, and cleaned up.

Xiao Yunhua reminded, the time must be fast, maybe we will stop cooking after the gust of sesame seed cakes passes.We must strive to do it as soon as possible.

Wang Yiyuan said, I will go out tomorrow to find a place to inquire.Xiao Yunhua said, waiting for your good news.Wang Yiyuan went on to say, there is one more thing. During this period of time, you must help me keep an eye on the proofing of the National Hosiery Industry, so that you must not make mistakes.

In the afternoon of the next day, Wang Yiyuan found an excuse, slipped out of the company alone, took a paper bag sample of Tujia biscuits and went directly to the printing street of Anqing Road, Zhejiang North Road.

This historic printing street has a small place, only a few hundred meters in length and width, and the road is not very spacious, but because it not only gathers all kinds of printing equipment, but also has all kinds of printing raw materials. and auxiliary materials, and many printing factories have set up sales offices here to undertake printing business. In addition, the geographical location is good and the transportation is very convenient, so this street is very famous in the printing industry in Shanghai.

After Wang Yiyuan went back last night, he originally wanted to cooperate with salesmen from other printing factories he knew for the paper bag of sesame seed cakes, but after thinking about it later, he felt that this was still not suitable.

If you are looking for a printing factory in Shanghai, firstly, because there is already a competitive relationship among them, the price may not be cheap, and secondly, you are worried that it will inevitably be spread out after a long time, and your boss will know if you are not sure. , I am afraid it will be difficult to speak and explain to the company.

But here in Zhejiang North Road, it is different. Many printing sales offices here are actually the Shanghai business office of Wenzhou Printing Factory, and the production is all in Wenzhou.

At the same time, I not only place a large amount of biscuit paper bags at one time, but the production process is very simple. I often turn over the orders and hand them over to Wenzhou people to make them. Not only can I have an advantage in price negotiation, but most importantly, they will deliver to designated locations. The place.In other words, as long as the money is in place, the whole process is relatively simple and secret, which is very convenient for Wang Yiyuan to operate.

When he arrived at the printing street on Zhejiang North Road, Wang Yiyuan negotiated quotations with several printing outlets for a single printing of [-], [-], and [-].After inquiring around like this, he had a general direction in his mind.

The boss of Jian'ou Printing is also surnamed Wang, a guy from Wenzhou. Seeing Wang Yiyuan turned back, he said with a smile, "Brother, don't look for it, they are all similar."

Wang Yiyuan took the hot tea that Boss Wang handed over, and said, hehe, you have to let me earn some money after all, you can't run away for nothing.

Boss Wang said, can you confirm this order?
Wang Yiyuan said, the price is right, and I will place an order immediately.

Boss Wang took the calculator, counted for a while, pressed 0.115 on the calculator, then pushed the calculator to Wang Yiyuan, and said, 2 pieces each time, this is the lowest price, plus [-]% for billing , Shanghai city-wide package delivery.

Wang Yiyuan glanced at it, took the calculator, removed the 5 after the above number, and said to Boss Wang, I think you may be younger than me, so I will call you Xiao Wang.My surname is also Wang, and I'm in the same family. See if the price is okay.

Boss Wang was overjoyed, and laughed loudly, "The king has already spoken, so can it be okay?"He went on to say, but if cash is needed, a part of the deposit must be paid in advance.

Wang Yiyuan said, okay, how soon can the delivery be delivered?Boss Wang said that the first batch will arrive in Shanghai in about four days, and if you continue to print later, it will only take three days.

Wang Yiyuan said, I'll go out and make a phone call.He went out to find a slightly remote corner, called Xiao Yunhua, and told about the price negotiation of the paper bags.

Xiao Yunhua agreed to sign the contract.Wang Yiyuan walked into the sales office of Jian'ou Printing and said to Boss Wang, that's it, let's try to make [-] copies first.You give me the card number, and I will transfer [-] yuan to you tomorrow morning, and the rest will have no quality problems. After the customer checks and accepts, all the money will be called to you.

Then the two sides also exchanged some details.After the two parties agreed, Wang Yiyuan left a copy of his ID card and signed a supply contract with Boss Wang of Jian'ou Printing Industry.

After finishing the contract, it was getting late, so Wang Yiyuan decided to go to dinner first.He had been to Zhejiang North Road a few times before, and he knew that there was a food stall set up by an old couple surnamed Liu in the nearby Tianluli alley.

Wang Yiyuan had dinner here by chance. During the conversation, he knew that the old couple were both from Dao County, Hunan Province. After retiring from Shanghai Railway North Station, they set up a stall here for more than ten years.

The stall of the old couple is not big, just two or three small tables, and there are generally not many dishes, four or five home-cooked dishes made in Shanghai, two or three Hunan-style dishes with peppers, and a large aluminum pot Vegetable soup and rice can be eaten for two yuan.

Old Liu was busy clearing the small dining table. When he saw Wang Yiyuan, he smiled and said, Oh, Xiao Wang, long time no see.

After Wang Yiyuan said hello, he went over and took the rice bowl to hold the rice and vegetables.

As soon as he sat down at the dining table, the old lady held a small bowl of pork and put it on the rice prepared by Wang Yiyuan. She said with concern, it's not easy for you to be in Shanghai alone, so you have to eat better.In fact, the dishes Wang Yiyuan ordered were enough, but it was hard to refuse, so I had to say, thank you, auntie.

Old Liu took out half a bottle of Changshaye Baijiu from nowhere, and said to Wang Yiyuan, I drink a small glass by myself every day, and you can drink a little with me today.

Wang Yiyuan took the wine bottle, took two disposable plastic cups, and poured a little more than half a cup each, about two taels.

Wang Yiyuan said to Lao Liu while eating, Lao Liu, you don't need to work too hard now.Lao Liu and his wife live in Railway New Village next to the alley. Their combined retirement salary is close to 8000 yuan. Their son and daughter-in-law also work on the railway, and their grandson will graduate from the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology next year. It stands to reason that there should be no financial pressure .

Lao Liu said with a smile, I used to be a locomotive electrician in the railway, and I didn’t have any hobbies after I retired. It’s hard to pass the time, and I’ve been bored at home, and I feel uncomfortable.Now setting up a stall and selling food, my wife and I enjoy ourselves, so why not do it?

The old lady took the conversation and said, Xiao Wang, you don't know, I really don't ask the old man to do it now, he will get sick.We also feel that it is very good now. We didn’t intend to make much money at first. The time is easy to pass and the body has been exercised. It is also a kind of fun.

Wang Yiyuan understands the old people's thinking very well.

The so-called old age has something to depend on, and it doesn’t matter what form it is. Painting, Tai Chi, square dancing, traveling are one kind, or setting up a stall like the old Liu and his wife, selling boxed lunches is actually the same. One way, without saying who is right and who is wrong, or showing what is noble or inferior, as long as the old people in it can find their own happiness, they all have a happy old age.

Before leaving, Wang Yiyuan said to Lao Liu that the Chinese New Year will be three months away, and I may have to trouble you to buy a ticket by then.Lao Liu said with a smile, don't worry, we can still help with one or two train tickets.
