Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Lao Zhu is not bad, he has a stove business to do in winter, even if a large number of them are taken away by the aristocratic family, at least he can make a lot of money.

But it will be different in spring. This kind of stove will hardly be sold after the weather is warm. After all, ordinary people don’t have much money in their pockets.

If you can survive, who wants to spend money on a stove.

"Old Zhu, it's like this. If you were to send a batch of kitchen knives to my shop every month, how much would you charge? How much would you be able to deliver?"

Lao Zhu was taken aback when he heard this, but he was still a little disappointed. He thought it was another new object like a stove, but it turned out to be a kitchen knife.

Kitchen knives are actually not high-tech. Even if you do it with care, you can make a few in a day without cutting corners, but the profit of this thing is too low.

But since shopkeeper Xiao Zhang wants it, then give me a real price.

"Shopkeeper, these kitchen knives are available in the market for [-] cents apiece. Old Zhu, I have pretty good craftsmanship here. If you want one, [-] cents a piece. How many do you want?"

Zhang Nuo smiled and shook his head,

"It's not how much I want, but how much can you provide a month?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he became vaguely excited. The kitchen knife business really didn't make much money. A kitchen knife only cost five cents. Now that he lowered the price, the profit was only three cents.

But from what the shopkeeper said, what you need is not just one or two!

Then this business has been discussed, after all, no matter how cheap something is, as long as it is measured, how much profit can it be?

Lao Zhu himself is a smart person, now he realizes that his opportunity has come, so he said quickly,

"Shopkeeper, as long as the iron material can keep up, Lao Zhu, I can supply a hundred pieces a month, and the quality is absolutely reliable!"

Zhang Nuo frowned, a little dissatisfied, one hundred?

He intends to sell these daily necessities as promotional products, the kind that don't make money but only run sales, so that they can attract a lot of popularity.

But now these one hundred kitchen knives have a fart use!

The population of Chang'an has exceeded one million at the moment, and it is a super big city. Once his supermarket chain plan is launched, the flow of people and shopping volume will definitely be a severe test for stocking up.

And it's not just one store, but many stores are going to open together, and the one hundred kitchen knives will not be enough to share.

At the same time, Zhang Nuo is also worried about a problem, that is, if the quality of the supply is different from store to store, it will be a lot of trouble at that time.

After all, I'm afraid of comparing products. They are sold by stores under the same brand. I bought Lao Zhu's kitchen knives here, but I bought Lao Zhang's kitchen knives in another store.

Then if the quality and brand of kitchen knives are different from each other, will the blame be thrown on him by then?

So he doesn't do this kind of thing, he wants to find a stable supplier now!

Lao Zhu looked at Zhang Nuo and frowned, thinking that he had talked too much, but thinking about it again, no, this shopkeeper, which business is not a big deal, how much money do I have for this little thing in total?

So, is this a dislike for too little supply?

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu's heart was burning, and he said quickly,

"Shopkeeper, it's actually easy to make kitchen knives. If you want a large quantity, I can also invite a few apprentices to work together, and the output can be greatly increased!"

Chapter 284 Old Zhu Plans to Increase Production

Zhang Nuo looked at the excited old Zhu in front of him, and smiled playfully. This old Zhu is really a smart person, he knows what he cares about.

However, Zhang Nuo is not so easy to let go. As a store, in fact, the most worrying thing is not the business, but getting into trouble, and the most likely thing to happen in a chain supermarket is the trouble of the quality of the goods.

However, there is no way to avoid this kind of trouble for the time being. After all, the goods are not produced by supermarkets, but are purchased from suppliers. If you do not grasp well during the procurement stage, the chances of accidents will increase infinitely.

So, after hearing Lao Zhu's words at this moment, the first feeling is that Lao Zhu is not planning to cheat himself.

In the current Tang Dynasty, the productivity is extremely low. Although kitchen knives are cheap and can be found everywhere, if you think that a random blacksmith apprentice can make a good kitchen knife, you are delusional. .

If some of Lao Zhu's things come from his hands and some from his apprentices, then it will be troublesome at that time.

In the same store, if you sell kitchen knives at the same price, but they are good or bad, will there be troubles for customers to come to the supermarket?

Therefore, Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Zhu and said slowly,

"Old Zhu, you have to understand one thing. As for me, I am a businessman, but what matters in business is word of mouth. If word of mouth is gone, business will not be easy!"

Lao Zhu was a little puzzled when he heard this, but when he saw Zhang Nuo's expression again, his heart skipped a beat. He understood what he had just said wrong, so he quickly explained,

"Shopkeeper, don't mind, I was the one who said the wrong thing just now, Lao Zhu, and I am also an honest and responsible person, how can I do something that is shoddy."

"I said that I can attract apprentices to increase production because I have several apprentices. They come to me every two or three days to help and learn skills. They usually have to work to earn money. Their skills are actually Not bad!"

"And the most important thing is that the kitchen knife itself is the first thing an apprentice learns to forge when he enters the blacksmith's shop. If he can't forge a good kitchen knife, he is not qualified to call himself an apprentice!"

Zhang Nuo was taken aback when he heard this, but he was still a little uncertain and asked,

"Then what your apprentice built, can you guarantee that the quality is exactly the same as yours?"

Lao Zhu thought about it for a while, and said seriously,

"As long as I check the quenching and entering the furnace, the quality should be the same. After all, it is not a weapon, and the requirements are not so strict!"

Zhang Nuo touched his chin, thought about it, and then said seriously,

"Well, if I want you to make five hundred kitchen knives a month, can you supply them?"

Old Zhu opened his mouth unconsciously, God, what kind of business is this, is this buying a lot of kitchen knives as gifts or something?

Five hundred?He didn't sell [-] kitchen knives last year, but now he needs to make [-] a month?
