Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 11 One Step to Money

On Wednesday afternoon, there is only one class called "Introduction to Industrial Engineering". It is a literacy course taught by professors in the department to freshmen. This is one of the few professionally linked courses in the first semester of freshman year.

get out of class was over before 3 o'clock, and Jiang Hui wanted to go to sell denim skirts and jeans that he talked to his father yesterday, while thinking about going to the zoo's clothing wholesale market for a field trip.

The BJ Zoo Wholesale Market is said to be the largest clothing wholesale distribution center in the northern region. It is not clear whether Jiang Hui is the largest in the northern region, but it is the first thing that comes to mind when talking about the clothing wholesale market in the entire BJ area.

This wholesale market does not refer to a single place, but is collectively referred to by several wholesale markets near the zoo, such as Jinkailide, Dongding, Tianhe and Baima.

Jiang Hui came to the bus stop next to the school's main entrance, waited for a few minutes, and got on the bus to the zoo.

As the capital of the imperial capital, the public transportation system is relatively developed. Not to mention the densely packed subway lines in the future, there will be bus lines all over the city. Except for the few megacities like Shanghai, Wuyang, and Shenzhen, other cities are completely different from it. No comparison.

Most of the buses these days are not air-conditioned, and the fare is only 1 yuan. It will be even cheaper if you apply for a monthly pass or a bus card.

That's right, you read that right, it only costs [-] cents, which is unbelievably cheap.

After almost 20 minutes, the zoo station arrived.The Zoo Station is a big station, and there is a place nearby where you can apply for a bus card. Although you haven’t got your student ID yet, it only costs [-] cents to get a regular card.

After getting the card, Jiang Hui chose the nearest Jinkailide wholesale market, and followed the flow of people around the market first.

At a glance, the whole market is full of shops, the big ones are tens of hundreds of square meters, and the small ones are only about ten square meters.Various skirts, trousers, coats, etc. look dazzling.

It took more than half an hour to go around the rivers and lakes. There are at least a thousand shops in the whole market, and there are probably two to three hundred shops selling denim clothing, but most of them do not only sell denim clothing. Also do other business.

Considering that he mainly sells denim shorts and denim skirts to merchants, Jiang Hui felt that it would be more targeted to find a small shop that specializes in wholesale and sales of jeans.

After setting a certain goal, Jiang Hui began to ask the prices of denim shorts and denim skirts from family to family, asking about the retail price and what the wholesale price would be.

Few of the owners of small shops get goods directly from the factory. Now it is not as developed as Internet shopping ten years later.In a few years, after those small workshops in the south began to wholesale and sell products online, many brick and mortar stores stopped buying goods from wholesalers, and just placed orders with those small workshops online.

About an hour later, Jiang Hui had a preliminary understanding of the market conditions of denim shorts and denim skirts.

There are at least 30 small shops specializing in denim clothing in the entire Jinkailid Wholesale Market. Of course, in addition to denim shorts and skirts, they also sell other denim clothing such as trousers.

Because it is a wholesale and retail market, clothes are not very expensive.The general price of denim shorts is 40 yuan, of course, there are also 19 yuan a piece and 80 yuan a piece. The price of denim shorts is not much different from that of denim shorts.

If you buy more than ten items at a time, you can generally get a [-]% or even [-]% discount. Considering that people can still make money after the [-]% discount, Jiang Hui estimates that the purchase price of these shops is about fifteen or sixteen to twenty. between.Slight variances may vary depending on fabric and wash quality.

Jiang Hui's parents are in the clothing industry. According to the information discussed in the previous chats, there is often a very large gap between the ex-factory price and the retail price of products in the clothing industry, and it has to be doubled at will.

Walking out of the market, Jiang Hui couldn't wait to find a phone booth to call his father to confirm whether there was any progress in the matter of confirming the source of goods mentioned yesterday morning, and at the same time, to grasp the purchase price so that he could further judge whether the project was successful. head.

"Hello, Jiang Hui, get out of class is over?" The call got through.

"Dad, get out of class is over early, how is the matter I asked you to ask yesterday?" Jiang Hui asked a little nervously.

"I asked a few fellow villagers and the boss of the processing factory. If you buy a lot of goods, a pair of denim shorts only costs five or six yuan, and a denim skirt is about the same."

"So cheap?" Jiang Hui couldn't believe it.

"Then how expensive do you think it is? They are all small factories, mainly for the cost of fabrics. Labor costs are very cheap. Garment factories often have to work more than ten hours a day. There are many people doing this in Cowboy City here. "

Jiang Hui calmed down and thought about it, and felt that his father was right. In 03, the labor cost was still very cheap. With so many manufacturers gathered in the Cowboy City, the prices of fabrics and processing were naturally much cheaper than elsewhere.

"Then you find a few good ones that are sold first, buy a hundred pieces of denim shorts and denim skirts, and then mail them to me." Jiang Hui thought that if he asked his father to buy more at one time, he probably would I would be more worried, so I ordered [-] pieces each, and then took the products to talk to various stores.

Then Jiang Hui continued to talk with his father about his plan, dispelled his father's concerns and explained again that he would not delay his studies before hanging up the phone.

After buying food nearby, Jiang Hui re-entered the market. He needed to investigate and confirm the sales volume of each store.If you ask the store owner directly, they will generally ignore you.I had no choice but to adopt a more earthy method, find a few representative stores, and observe them nearby for 10 minutes to see how the flow of people and transactions are.

Although it is not the weekend, after all, the evening is considered a relatively busy time period, and there are still quite a lot of people.After observing for almost two hours, basically each store can close one or two orders within 10 minutes.

According to this calculation, it is no problem to sell six to twelve pieces of clothing an hour, including five or six pieces of denim shorts and skirts.In a day, there are fifty or sixty cases in ten hours.

Although retailing in the morning is definitely not as good as in the evening, according to the chats with the bosses just now, we can know that when the store first opened in the morning, there were mainly wholesale business, and after noon, most of the retail business came.

There is no list of how the wholesale business is, but on the whole it should not be difficult for a store to sell fifty or sixty pieces a day.The entire Jinkailide wholesale market has at least [-] sales a day.

Considering that the zoo's clothing wholesale market is not limited to the Jinkailide wholesale market, if the other four or five places are about the same size as today, the sales volume in a day will be [-], [-] or even tens of thousands.

Of course, Jiang Hui didn't think that he could buy these tens of thousands of items, but as long as [-]% of the shops get goods from him, there are six or seven hundred items a day.

According to the price situation I learned today, my own cost of getting the goods including shipping costs is estimated to not exceed 7 yuan.If it is doubled and sold to merchants, it will be a profit of 5000 yuan a day.
