Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

The two dishes left on the table were both cooked by Xiaoqing. As a top guard, she was good at using a knife to kill people, but cooking was a new experience for her.

After tasting it, Xia Chuntao patted Xiaoqing on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Be a good guard. This industry really needs you."

Xuan Er laughed at the side, and was glared at by Xiao Bai. Xiao Qing also raised his fist, "Are you looking for death?"

Xuan Er quickly lowered his head and shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth.

I can’t afford to offend you.

This time when he came back, Ling Qingxuan also sent Xuan Er to Xia Chuntao's side. Of course, he also left people in Xiyang County. More people means more protection. He is too far away from her. If anything happens, these people can always protect her.

Xia Chuntao chatted and laughed with the children while enjoying a welcoming meal, and soon got down to work on her Spring Festival shopping plan at "Juhaowu".

Last year, the pre-holiday promotional activities of "Juhaowu" were quite successful. After that, Fang, the owner of "Yunlai Grocery Store", specifically approached Xia Chuntao, wanting to do it together this year. Xia Chuntao also agreed. She is a person of her word, so she hurried to come back before the Spring Festival!

She has already prepared several plans for this year on the carriage, and now it depends on how many shops are willing to participate.

Now it seems that it is almost as she expected. In addition to her own "Juhaowu" and "Jinshiju", the shopkeepers of "Yunlai Grocery Store", "Jinlan Cloth Shop", "Zhenweilou" and "Jinyuge" were all invited. Some larger merchants in Xiyang County also came to discuss plans after hearing the news. To her surprise, Song Hui also came after hearing the news.

Everyone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make money. After all, Song Hui's "Daxi Trading Company" was the largest wholesale merchant in Xiyang. With him supporting it, most merchants felt more confident.

Of course Xia Chuntao welcomes you!

Although there are some conflicts with Song Hui, or to be more precise, with Song Hui's sister, the county magistrate's wife, this does not affect their business together.

By this calculation, there are twelve merchants who want to participate in Xia Chuntao's Spring Festival promotion plan, which basically covers the top merchants in Xiyang.

In that case, let’s just expand the scale.

"Our shops are now divided into three categories: grocery stores, specialty stores, and restaurants."

"Except for restaurants, other shop owners should go back and count their goods first, clear out defective products and overstocked products that are not selling well, and put a 10% discount tag on defective products and a 20% discount tag on overstocked products."

All the merchants had no objection to this. After all, these things would not make any money if they were just piled up, so it would be better to clear them out as soon as possible.

only……

“Isn’t a 10% discount too low? The price we paid for the goods wasn’t this low at the time!” asked the owner of a pen and ink shop.

Xia Chuntao thought about it and felt that it was not easy to force others to do this, after all, the businesses themselves had different ways of operating.

"You can set the discount based on your bottom line, but I suggest that all grocery stores follow this discount. I may lose money on some products, but I have two purposes: one is to help everyone clear inventory and mobilize funds; the other is to attract people. In fact, the second point is my real purpose."

"Whether this event can be as I expected depends on whether we can gather enough popularity. Last year, it was my family that did it, so it wasn't difficult. This year, we have many participating businesses, and if we want everyone to make money, we naturally need everyone to invest a little."

Xia Chuntao has made it very clear that if you want to make money, you have to be willing to invest. If you are someone who cares about every penny, don't blame me for not reminding you if you don't make money.

Everyone here is a smart person. Having said this, you can figure out the rest for yourself.

"For other goods, we offer free gifts if you buy more than the specified amount. Goods with a 10% or 80% discount are not eligible for this promotion."

"How do I give gifts?" asked the shopkeeper Fang of Yunlai Grocery Store.

"Let's take the grocery store as an example. According to the current consumption capacity of Xiyang County and surrounding towns and villages, gifts are given when the purchase reaches 500 wen, 1 liang, 3 liang, 5 liang, and 10 liang. You can directly give in-store discount coupons, or cloth coupons, pen, ink, and paper coupons of different denominations. If the purchase reaches 20 liang, you can give banquet coupons, and if it is more than 30 liang, you can give jewelry coupons."

"Other specialty stores operate similarly, giving out coupons based on purchases of a certain amount."

"Of course, every store is different. We can't generalize like grocery stores. We have to set consumption standards for buy-one-get-one-free based on the consumption of our own store and set several levels for buy-one-get-one-free. As for the specific value of the coupons to be given, that is what we are mainly discussing today."

After listening to Xia Chuntao's words, the merchants below started a heated discussion.

"If we follow Boss Xia's idea, our products won't be priced the same as they are now. After all, the free gift is also our cost."

"Yeah, so if that's the case, we won't make much money from this event, right?"

"Therefore, this activity is ultimately based on volume. If the volume goes up, we can still make a lot of money. As for the cost issue, since everyone is giving coupons to each other, the final number of coupons given should not be much higher than the cost itself, and it should be within everyone's acceptable range." Xia Chuntao explained.

"For example, if you spend more than one tael of silver in our shop, we will give you a cloth coupon worth three hundred wen from Jinlan Cloth Shop. In fact, the cloth shop sells this cloth coupon to us for one hundred and fifty wen. This way, our costs will also be reduced."

"As for the cloth shops, she can also do the opposite. As long as the shops agree on the price."

As for how to use the gift coupons, Xia Chuntao is not planning to tell the merchants now. She would first see if these people are really willing to participate in this event.

If you are sincere, you will have to pay a price. Forget about being stingy, she can't take care of you.

"If you still want to cut costs, then we have to see whether Daxi Trading Company is willing to do so." Xia Chuntao turned to Song Hui.

Most of the goods in Xiyang County are purchased through Daxi Trading Company, so if Song Hui wants to make some adjustments to the cost, it depends on whether he is willing to spend some money.

As soon as Xia Chuntao said this, everyone reacted. Isn't it true? Instead of arguing over a few cents, why not control the source of the goods?

Song Hui looked at Xia Chuntao with a half-smile, "What's in it for me to lower the shipping price?"

Really? Daxi Commercial Bank has no problem selling goods, so why should it lower prices for so many merchants?

The merchants looked at Xia Chuntao again.

Xia Chuntao was completely convinced by these uncles.

She didn't ask them to come up with this plan, so why did they all rely on her now? Her goods were not imported from Daxi Trading Company, so what did it have to do with her?

Xia Chuntao asked the merchants who were looking at her, "If Boss Song lowers the price for you, what benefits can you give him?"

She is just a middleman and she will not do anything that is thankless.
