Chapter 127 Mr. Li
Chapter 127 Mr. Li
The rent of indoor stalls fluctuates slightly depending on the location. On average, the annual rent for each stall is 400 yuan.
When doing business, the first three steps are the hardest.
In order to attract tenants as quickly as possible and fill the market with merchants, Li Youcai set the rent price not too high.
As long as the market can be made popular, the merchants will make money, and then more and more people will be eager to enter the market.
By that time, who will care whether he raises the price or not? Maybe someone will even beg him to raise the price.
Following Li Youcai's instructions, Li Youjie opened the stalls that had been designated in advance in the compound.
It has attracted many vegetable and fruit vendors. Although they have to pay, it is much easier for them to sell vegetables here. They no longer need to carry a shoulder pole and go from street to street to sell their vegetables. Now they just need to sit there and wait for the vegetable sellers to come.
Now, not only do they sell more vegetables every day than before, but they also don’t have to worry about being accused of speculation. They sell vegetables in the market and no one arrests them at all.
After trying it for a few days, the vegetable vendors gradually fell in love with this vegetable selling model. They rushed to the market early every day to grab a position. After all, a good position can reach more customers and naturally sell more vegetables.
The farmers' market had only been open for seven days.
It has become one of the favorite places for people in Teng County.
The daily flow of people was so large that it even surpassed the supply and marketing cooperative at one point.
This has also allowed many companies to see new business opportunities. Soy sauce factories, MSG factories, and oil pressing factories have also come to the market, renting stalls in the seasoning area to sell a series of products produced by their factories, including soy sauce, aged vinegar, sesame oil, sesame paste, etc.
State-owned daily chemical companies have also moved into the daily necessities area to sell their soaps.
The majority are affiliated collective merchants. Some of them have unconventional methods, purchasing goods directly from other places and selling them here at a higher price.
Some directly sell products they produce themselves.
More and more businesses have moved into the stalls in each area, which has stimulated more customers to come shopping.
A positive cycle is formed.
The market is booming.
The happiest person is Li Youjie.
He used to be an unknown person, but now everyone in the market calls him Mr. Li.
He strolls around the market every day, and everyone he meets greets him proactively.
The sound of "Mr. Li" made him feel comfortable all over.
In order to show off his current status in front of Huang Juan, Li Youjie specially asked Huang Juan to come to the market.
This is Huang Juan's first time here.
I was really shocked by this bustling large market.
“So this place is so big!”
"How about it? This place is nice, right? Let me tell you, my elder brother said that this place will be under my management from now on. I am the person in charge of this market." Li Youjie said to Huang Juan proudly.
"Such a big market is under your control?" Huang Juan couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's true. My brother has a bakery, and he's mainly in charge of that now. I'm in charge of the daily management here."
Li Youjie led Huang Juan into the market.
The middle aisle was crowded with customers, some bargaining, some shouting, and beneath the noisy sounds, transactions were being completed.
Li Youjie took Huang Juan to a soap stall in the daily necessities area.
"Mr. Li is here." The boss of the stall greeted Li Youjie with a smile when he saw him.
"How's business today?" Li Youjie asked symbolically.
The boss picked up a bar of soap from the stall and handed it to Li Youjie, grinning from ear to ear. "Great! Our newest product, jasmine soap, is so fragrant and delicate, it even smells great when you wash your face. I've already sold three boxes this morning."
"Mr. Li, this is a gift for you. Take it back and try it out."
Li Youjie took the jasmine soap in his hand and looked at it. "I paid for it, so I can't just take it from you for free. How much is it?"
"You are slapping me in the face by asking for money. How can I take your money? Just take it back and use it. Come back for more when you are done." The boss said very straightforwardly.
Seeing this, Li Youjie took out a dollar and threw it on the stall, then led Huang Juan away quickly.
"Mr. Li."
"Here comes Mr. Li."
"Business is booming."
I strolled around the market and saw countless people greeting Li Youjie along the way.
"Why do they all call you Mr. Li?" Huang Juan asked.
"They all call my brother Big Li and me Little Li, so they can tell us apart."
"Oh."
Li Youjie handed the soap in his hand to Huang Juan: "Take it back and use it. This soap smells quite nice to me."
Huang Juan took it in her hand, put it under her nose and sniffed it: "It really is the scent of jasmine, so fragrant."
"I'll take you to my office and sit for a while, then we'll go to the restaurant across the street."
Huang Juan had a smile on her face, and she would glance at Li Youjie from time to time.
In the past, Li Youjie had always been a shy and timid little boy in front of her, but since Li Youjie started doing business with his elder brother, Huang Juan found that Li Youjie had changed a lot, becoming more calm and mature.
The shyness on his face is gone, and even his speech is calmer and more confident than before.
In fact, Li Youjie was even more attractive in Huang Juan's eyes at this moment.
"okay."
Huang Juan responded softly, but a look of admiration appeared on her face.
In the office, Li Youcai was checking the account book. Dazhuang was sitting opposite him. There was a large square cardboard box on the ground with a pattern of an old-fashioned TV painted on it.
Li Youjie led Huang Juan into the office.
"Brother, Dazhuang brother,"
Li Youcai looked over and saw Huang Juan beside Li Youjie.
"This is Huang Juan. I'm taking her around the market."
Huang Juan was also sensible. When she heard Li Youjie calling Li Youcai "Brother," she immediately followed suit, saying, "Hello, big brother. I'm Huang Juan."
She is Huang Juan, his brother’s girlfriend.
Li Youcai looked at Huang Juan carefully.
Huang Juan is good-looking, with big eyes that make her look particularly smart and lively, and she is also quite lively.
Judging from the appearance, she is a good match for Li Youjie.
Li Youcai remembered his younger brother saying that they were classmates before and later developed into lovers.
Li Youcai put down the account book in his hand and stood up: "Hello, I heard Youjie mentioned it a long time ago, but I just met him today."
"Stop standing, sit down quickly."
Li Youcai looked at Li Youjie and said, "Your sister-in-law has gone to the restaurant across the street. Let's have a quick lunch later."
"Well, I've already told Huang Juan that we should go out to eat at noon."
Li Youjie led Huang Juan to sit on the iron bed and opened a bottle of canned hawthorn for her.
Huang Juan didn't hesitate to take it and fed Li Youjie a hawthorn first.
Li Youjie was eating when he looked down and saw the cardboard box on the ground.
"Brother, what is this?"
"The TV set was out of stock at the county supply and marketing cooperative, so I asked Brother Dai to buy it for me in the city. It just arrived."
"TV?" Li Youjie became interested when he heard it was a TV.
This thing is a rare thing among rare things.
"Can you watch it now?"
