Chapter 42 Big Sister's Small Abacus Big Business
The elder sister’s ritual supplies store is located on Hedi Road in the city, which is one of the bustling sections of the city, and many large wholesale departments are stationed in that section.
The products she manages are all kinds of, and everything related to sacrifices and rituals is available, from paper houses, paper cars, to mundane coins, incense, candles, and oil lamps, it has become a supermarket.
There are two types of customers who come here to visit, one is disposable, and the other is repeat customers. Disposable customers are mostly those who die at home who need to do some ritual supplies to save them, and most repeat customers are some charlatans, Taoists, and mages. For disposable customers, the fees will be higher and they will be handled at half-retail prices. For those repeat customers who visit frequently, they are basically handled at wholesale prices. Because of this, the business of the specialty store run by the senior sister Ruhua is surprisingly good. Some are frowning, some are smiling, and customers are constantly in exchange for customers.
Recently, Ruhua has expanded its new business, not only innovating sales models to move towards the Internet, but also developing from commodity sales to product design and production, forming a coherent industrial chain of upstream and downstream. In particular, the recently launched cardboard coffin is very popular among customers. Some charlatans who specialize in helping the dead to take care of the funeral orders have ordered dozens of pairs at once, and they are almost in short supply. The reason why this product is popular is on the one hand because of price issues. Compared with solid wood coffins that cost tens of thousands of yuan, a cardboard coffin of one or two hundred yuan is definitely a very big temptation. After all, people nowadays are cremated. No matter how good the coffin is, it will be burned by a fire in the end when transported to the crematorium?
This is not the most creative. What is most creative is that before the Qingming Festival, she and her master Huang Shaoying jointly opened the city's first online besiege sweeping platform, which implements one-stop service, designed specifically for those who cannot come back to visit the graves outside. There are several service prices such as two thousand, one thousand, five hundred, and other services. Different prices have different services, such as VIP-level service of two thousand yuan. You can send a large tomb sweeping gift package (with a paper villa, a car or even a mistress, as well as money, incense, candles, etc.), and send people to the designated cemetery for a serving, and the entire process will be recorded and sent to customers.
Because of this, the senior sister Ruhua inevitably offended many people. First of all, the owner of the coffin shop came to the door, because after she launched the cardboard coffin, the business of the coffin shop plummeted and the door was deserted. After inquiring, the owner of the coffin shop realized that this was Ruhua's secret trick, several thousand yuan and one or two hundred yuan. Anyway, the final outcome was to burn it. Compared with the two, most of them naturally chose the cheapest one.
The owner of the coffin shop once found Ruhua and questioned him, saying that this was a vicious competition and asked Ruhua to stop as soon as possible, otherwise he would settle the score with her master. But Ruhua was not afraid of these things, and told him that this was called open competition. If you have the ability to build a cheaper coffin, you would be so angry that the owner of the coffin shop almost entered the coffin.
There is also the director of the crematorium. During this period, he felt that the business in the field was much less. After asking, he found out that some of the businesses they had previously occupied, such as wreaths, corpse makeup, etc., were actually snatched away by someone else. Who? It was Ruhua! So he found Ruhua angrily and asked what was going on, but Ruhua poured a pot of cold water on him in front of him: This is the era of competition, where customers buy your bird business, or wouldn’t it be better if you post a message in the name of the crematorium and ask them to buy it directly from your side? You must know that now is the time when the Discipline Inspection Commission investigates the problems. These businesses are small treasuries inside the crematorium. If they are exposed, will there be good fruits?
Recently, President Guan of the Spiritual Dao Association is not much better, because in the past few days, he heard from his wife that his business income in his store has been much lower, and if this continues, the store can't afford to rent it. It turns out that President Guan is also a person who eats any business. Seeing that his wife has nothing to do, he asked her to open a ritual specialty store. Relying on his connections in the industry, the business was pretty good at the beginning, but recently, his wife found that there were fewer and fewer customers coming to his store to buy things, and it turned out that the few were actually
The Taoist priest who often visited him did not come to buy things. After inquiring, he found out that the customer thought the things she sold were too expensive, almost twice the price in the Ruhua shop. Isn’t this a trick? After finding out the reason, President Guan found Ruhua with a shameless face, thinking that Ruhua would give her face and give her a way out, but Ruhua replied: When your wife can’t continue to work, you can come to me to help. Three thousand yuan a month is not a cent. As a result, President Guan was so angry that he almost burned the store.
After talking about this, everyone should know why these people didn’t make an appointment and wanted to find Huang Shaoying. The reason was nothing more than one, that was, they wanted to find Huang Shaoying to come out to preside over justice.
In fact, Huang Shaoying was so sarcastic that these people found him must be related to profit, so the next night, he made an appointment with these people to have dinner together, and he also called Ruhua during this period, and of course, Li Wei and Seventh Senior Sister Ruxi are also indispensable.
During the meal, the coffin shop owner first attacked, pointing out Ruhua’s various things, and then asked Huang Shaoying to come out and uphold justice and let Ruhua’s cardboard coffin withdraw from the local market.
Huang Shaoying smiled and asked him, "Are the coffin buried or burned?"
The owner of the coffin shop couldn't react for a moment and said, "It's for burning now."
"Since it is for burning, we must follow the principle of saving and try not to waste it. So I think that from tomorrow, you should wholesale cardboard coffins from Ruhua Store to sell them. It would be better if you sign a contract to become an exclusive agent." Huang Shaoying woke up the dreamer with his words. The owner of the coffin shop immediately signed a three-year sole sale contract with Ruhua, which increased the price of cardboard coffins by 100 yuan.
Then the crematorium jumped out and spoke excitedly from his own standpoint for a long time. Huang Shaoying waited for him to finish and asked softly: "Do you still want to make some money?" The answer is naturally yes.
"If you want to make money, why not cooperate with Ruhua? In the future, your business will be fully covered by Ruhua. What will you do if the money you earn will benefit you?" Huang Shaoying's words made President Zhu's eyes shine and he said yes.
When the owner of the shroud shop saw that the two people's problems were solved so easily, he was very unwilling to accept it, so he asked Huang Shaoying: "Now that Ruhua's store has opened, selling shrouds at a very low price is a devastating blow to my business, and will it still make people live?"
Huang Shaoying toasted him with a glass of wine and said to him, "It's already a miracle that you are still alive now. Go and ask, who can sell clothes from dead people for the rest of your life? The stores selling clothes from living people are closed every day. If you still want to do business, just put the store in Ruhua's name and she will give you dividends every month."
Is there such a good thing? Boss Feng, who was close to the closure of the shroud shop, agreed without thinking.
Finally, it was President Guan of the Spiritual Path Association's turn to come on stage. When he saw that several people who came with him had solved the problem successfully, he was very upset and said in a glowing voice: "You are all happy, but I don't know what to do."
"What's wrong with you?" asked the few people who solved the problem just now.
"I have no problem, but my wife doesn't know how to live in the future." President Guan replied depressedly.
"How do you say this?" Huang Shaoying asked knowingly.
"Your sister-in-law's store has been bad recently, so you don't know." President Guan finally got the point.
"I said you are the same person. You are a dignified president of the Spiritual Taoist Society. You also asked your wife to show off your eyes and sell things from the underworld~" Huang Shaoying said with a smile.
"That's a no-one, who told her to be unemployed?" President Guan blushed like a monkey's butt.
"Isn't it enough to ask your wife to work at Ruhuashang tomorrow and be an executive deputy manager to receive a salary?" Huang Shaoying said casually.
"Really?" President Guan immediately smiled happily on his face.
