The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 1227 Unfair Competition

The franchise store run by Xiaoli is very promising. In order to save money, there are only three of them in the whole store. Xiaoli is responsible for sales, finance, and transferring goods from the headquarters to confirm orders, while her parents are responsible for the sanitation and logistics of the store.

Before Xiaoli's father was injured, he was a loyal man and made many friends. Although these friends were poor and could not help financially, they always wanted to find opportunities to repay their family.

After hearing that their family worked in an electronics store, I offered to help promote the store.

These friends all live at the bottom of society. Some are bus drivers, some are postmen, some are cleaners, and some are water delivery men walking around the streets.

These jobs didn't help much, but in this era without the Internet, they were the best mouthpieces in the entire city. Xiaoli distributed flyers from the electrical appliance store to these people, and soon many people came here.

Xiaoli is good at business. Although Bai Meixi said that franchise stores are not allowed to offer benefits and price reductions, Xiaoli can work hard on serving customers.

All customers who enter the store, whether buying something or not, can drink a bowl of red bean soup for free. This is her mother's ancestral craft. It contains rice cakes, tangerine peel and rock sugar. It is very popular among Puhai people who like sweets.

Because of this warm hospitality, many people who want to buy electrical appliances will choose Xiaoli’s store as their first choice and are willing to introduce their friends. Xiaoli’s mother’s red bean soup has become the signature here. Some people come here not just to see it. Electrical appliances are just for having a bowl of red bean soup.

However, regardless of whether these people are buying something or not, Xiaoli treats them warmly, which makes her widely praised among customers.

What’s more, Puhai’s economic income has increased in recent years, especially young people who like to use electrical appliances to replace heavy housework. Those small electrical appliances are not expensive but very practical. Many people may not buy them when they come here. But when I leave, I always take one or two items with me. This seemingly inconspicuous business adds up to a lot.

Xiaoli's sales were rising every day, and soon caused dissatisfaction with another franchise store. This store was in the same area as Xiaoli's store. The business of Xiaoli's store was booming, and they were eaten alive. Business here.

Seeing that other franchise stores are making a lot of money, only their store is always in a state of survival. If this continues, even Bai Meixi's original sales volume will not be achieved. If this continues, they will not only make a profit. Without the money, even the franchise fees will be lost.

After learning that Xiaoli's store provided red bean soup, the store felt that this was unfair competition and immediately reported it to Bai Meixi.

"Manager Bai, we agreed at the beginning that everyone is competing fairly, but what she is doing now is clearly to win people's hearts, and the red bean soup is something that everyone can see, and there are so many things that can't be seen!"

The owner of that store was very excited. In order to open this franchise store, he had already borrowed money from relatives and friends in his hometown. He originally planned to make back the money within two years, but he didn't expect that the current situation was completely different from what he expected.

"If you just provide hot drinks to customers, it doesn't count as unfair competition. You can also provide similar services in the store. As for other issues, I will investigate."

During this period, Bai Meixi also discovered that the turnover of Xiaoli's store was particularly high, exceeding that of other stores by 30.00%, especially the sales of small electrical appliances, which was definitely No. 1 among all franchise stores.

Because of this incident, Bai Meixi decided to pay a private visit incognito to see if she had done anything to compete with other stores by giving away profits.But Bai Meixi feels that given Xiaoli's family background, it is unlikely that she will do this. Although she has received a lot of commissions in the past few months, she still cannot compare with those who actually operate franchise stores. If she takes this Part of the profits are subsidized to the store, so she has been working for her in vain these past few months, which is not as good as when she was an accountant before.

Bai Meixi specially chose a time to go to the store when Xiaoli was not around. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a very simple-looking woman winning over.

"Please drink some hot soup. It's too cold today." Xiaoli's mother immediately brought a cup after seeing Bai Meixi, with a few rock candies beside it.

Bai Meixi took it over and took a sip. It tasted really good, and Xiaoli's red bean soup was cooked in the store's rice cooker and kept warm.

"This red bean soup is really delicious. Sister, are you selling this red bean soup? I want to buy some to take back to my family."

Bai Meixi felt that with Xiaoli's mother's craftsmanship, she could open a small stall in front of the store. After all, the cost of these red bean soups was not low, and it would be a big expense over time.

"We don't sell the red bean soup here, but if you want to cook it yourself, I can give you the recipe."

Xiaoli's mother brought over a handwritten recipe, which showed how to make red bean soup. Each ingredient was written in great detail.

"Auntie, if you tell others the secret recipe, aren't you afraid that others will learn it and sell it for money?" Bai Meixi thinks that the most important thing in the catering industry is the secret recipe, but in the eyes of Xiaoli's mother, these recipes don't seem to be considered at all. secret.

"I am willing to use such good ingredients to make soup at home. If I sell it, I have to consider the cost. Even if someone takes it, it won't be as delicious as it is."

Xiaoli's mother said it very truthfully. Indeed, the red bean soup made at home must be made with very fresh ingredients, and every ingredient will be carefully selected. However, once a business model is formed, profit may be the only thing pursued.

"If you don't have time to cook, you can make more soups, such as kelp and ribs soup, and peanut dace soup. They are all simple and nutritious."

Before Xiaoli's father was injured, Xiaoli's family situation was pretty good, especially Xiaoli's mother, who was from the south and was best at making soups and cooking. Unfortunately, her family's financial situation declined and she could only make simple dishes at home. To satisfy hunger.

Housewives couldn't stop talking about cooking. After half an hour of communication, Xiaoli's mother brought Bai Meixi to a rice cooker.

"This is a new appliance. If you don't have time to watch by the pot, you can use this rice cooker. Just press in the ingredients and it will make soup by itself. It will also automatically keep warm when the time is up, which can save a lot of cooking time. This is how these red bean soups are made during meal time.”

Xiaoli's mother seemed to say it unintentionally, but Bai Meixi felt that this sales method was very clever. She could quickly close the distance between people. No wonder this store's rice cooker sales have always been the first.
