Chapter 897 Stationery Store
He said this, but his heart was shocked. Does Lu Hao say this imply that the sales of Wanjia soda are no longer good? Is it because something unexpected happened during the operation?
Not only Zhang Yongqiang thought so, but also the others on the table, Su Xingmin, Wang Guizhi, Su Jiangang, Su Min and Su Jin, also looked at Lu Hao strangely, with a look of worry on his face.
"Of course I'm joking." Lu Hao said.
???
!!!
Zhang Yongqiang looked at Lu Hao in surprise.
What does this mean?
Is it really a joke, was it intentionally tricked on him?
If he hadn't been mentally prepared before coming, thinking that he might have suffered humiliation, and this meal was the last chance, he couldn't help but rush to Lu Hao to question him.
"My brother-in-law must be joking. How could Wanjia soda not work? Compared with Wanjia soda, the second factory soda is not worthy of carrying shoes. What you said just now is a test of us, right?" Su Yumei said, "Don't worry, no matter whether Wanjia soda is at this moment or in the future, if something really happens, Yongqiang and I will definitely insist on selling Wanjia soda and will not sell other sodas."
She thought Lu Hao was testing her and Zhang Yongqiang.
"It's not a test." Lu Hao shook his head, "I just said it very clearly. You two are not the materials for selling soda. You can't do this business. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity, you won't be able to do it for a long time. And I won't write a note just because you are relatives and ask you to go to the lineup."
"Wanjia Soda is a brand that I finally made. It is impossible to make it easily ruined. If you open this back door for you two, then the Wanjia Soda business will be damaged, which is not conducive to the unity of other dealers, so I will not open this back door for you two."
The back door cannot be opened at will. Even if it is to be opened, it will not be facing Zhang Yongqiang and Su Yumei.
"But I'm not that unkind. You two went to find Jiangang, then went to my office, and now you are holding your parents, and invited everyone to have dinner at Yujin Restaurant. After cooking so much, I just want me to pull you two." Lu Hao said, "I can pull it, but the premise is that it cannot affect the business under my name."
These two people still have some help.
He deliberately did not be naive or indifferent, and even deliberately embarrassed the two of them, but both of them endured it. Since that was the case, I would help them. Anyway, they would just come up with an idea or a string, but they would definitely not arrange these two people into the business under their name.
The reason is very simple. One is that these two people give in, but for the sake of money, and the other is that these two people do not have Su Jiangang's character. The third point is that they must try their best to avoid letting relatives and friends participate in business. From the beginning, he tried his best to avoid the company becoming a family business. The last and most important point is that these two people can only be considered ordinary in business. There are so many such people who are caught and there is no shortage of them.
"Then what business we do?" Su Yumei asked, "We are not the only ones to do business."
Su Yumei has realized that if Lu Hao had no help, she might lose money in any business.
"In addition to having a business mindset, you also need to have vision. If you have vision, then you will be a pig and will be blown up in the wind." Lu Hao said, "It doesn't matter if you two don't know how to do business. I will show you a way. Not to mention being rich and powerful, but having a small family property will definitely not be a big problem."
Su Yumei and Zhang Yongqiang looked at each other.
Isn't this a swearing person?
Say they are pigs.
But at this time, they didn't care about it. The meal was to let Lu Hao help. The best situation was to let them run the soda business, or hand over the department store's purchase channels to them, but Lu Hao obviously disagreed.
But being able to point out a way is always better than helping nothing.
"What road?" Su Yumei asked.
"You said, we will definitely do what you said." Zhang Yongqiang nodded as well.
"Doing stationery business." Lu Hao said, "Selling erasers, pencils, inks, homework books, knives, etc. As long as it is related to the text, you can do it."
The stationery business has been around for a long time, but it is not called a stationery store, but cultural supplies.
Before 1840, the main types of cultural products in Jiangcheng market were paper, ink, pen and inkstone. The paper, ink, pen and inkstone in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were sold in Hankou, and the business was very good.
By the end of the Guangxu period, the paper shops in Hankou had developed into one of the eight major banks in Hankou, with annual sales reaching 50,000 taels!
Later, various schools were founded, the market for cultural supplies further expanded, and the number of business continued to increase, from traditional paper, ink, pens, inks, to stone pens, chalk, pens, pencils, and new stationery also appeared.
In 1955, Jiangcheng established a cultural supplies company, which had a wide range of operations, not only paper, stationery, musical instruments, etc., including microcomputers, electronic calculators, electrostatic copiers, electrochemical teaching tools, etc., as well.
The industry's sales are nearly 150 million yuan!
Just Jiangcheng, and in the 1980s, sales reached this level.
Although the money earned in this industry is not as exaggerated as that in the department store industry, it is also quite a lot.
There are also some stationery stores on the market now, but the number is not large, and they are mainly state-owned stationery stores. With the popularity of education, the increase in the admission rate, the increase in learning tasks, and more learning materials are placed on the desks, and more stationery stores will also be more and more.
This is a trend.
Elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, including universities, stationery stores on and off campus, initially selling homework books, pens, erasers, etc., but in the future, various secret books, full textbooks, famous school books, etc. will be added.
"Can this business make money?" Su Yumei was very confused.
"Is stationery profitable only a few dollars?" Zhang Yongqiang was also a little unoptimistic.
The two of them disliked this business.
No matter how I thought about it, I never expected that Lu Hao would introduce this business to them.
"Are you doubting me?" Lu Hao took a sip of tea, "If you don't want to do it, just think that I'm fartful. Although I've eaten the meal you invited, I've already made an idea. If you two choose not to do it, it's your own problem. If you are willing to do it, I can set up a line for you, help you contact the wholesale unit, and then help you find a suitable location to manage it."
The idea came out, and whether Zhang Yongqiang and Su Yumei listened or not, he didn't care.
If you don’t listen, you will leave after eating. If you listen, you will help you guide you.
"What are you worried about and what are you hesitating about? Lu Hao is already very proud of your advice. Since he is willing to give advice, he will not harm you. As long as he does what he says, he will definitely make money." Su Xingmin said.
He was a little overwhelmed.
