Chapter 5, Overall Sales Plan
Because your work for the next three months is to help the factory sell these goods! Huang He patted the boxes of leather goods beside him and said, In the next three months, the factory will cease operations, but you will still be the workers of the factory. Your task will change from working on the production line to helping me sell goods, going from street to street to sell for me!
What should we do if no one buys? This is the question in everyone's mind
TNND, I will kill you, you liar, Huang He, I will kill you!
Huang He, do you think we are fools? If these worthless items could sell, would they still be piled up here?
Ah, do not rush, I am not urging you to leave, because I have purchased round-trip tickets for you. You all need to return in three months! At the same time, during these three months, everyone will still be in a working state, and I, Huang He, will continue to calculate your salaries!
Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to finish speaking!" Huang He said with a bitter smile, "Indeed, our way out is to sell these goods, but it is not as the comrade just mentioned, that I will use these goods to offset your wages. I assure you that I, Huang He, will return your wages in full after three months, and I will also provide you with an additional three months' bonus, all in cash, without a single piece of material being used!
Indeed, currently there is not a single company in the entire market willing to accept our goods, and all of our company's distributors have withdrawn. Where can we sell our products now
It seems that Leng Zhiruo has moved her own karaoke setup to her home
First of all, I would like to share some good news with everyone, which is that the bank has taken into account the actual difficulties faced by our company and has agreed to allow us to postpone the repayment of our loan for three months. This means that our company can survive for another three months, giving us three months to revive everything.
However, Chairman, we only know how to work, not how to sell things
Ladies and gentlemen, I understand the intentions of this unscrupulous businessman. He aims to do the same as last year's Merill Leather Factory, using the inventory of worthless goods in the warehouse to offset our wages at original prices. Goodness, my uncle, who is owed 20,000 in wages, ended up receiving 200 pairs of shoes at a price of 100 each, with the claim that he could sell them in the market to recover all his wages. He even mentioned that the retail price is 200, which would yield a net profit of 20,000 in pure income
Yet there are still those who question, "Then what do you mean by working together to sell goods?"
However, when they arrived at the entrance of the office building, they were informed to gather in the warehouse. Upon reaching the warehouse, they found that a clear space had already been made, and Huang He was smiling broadly as he looked at everyone
Be quiet! Suddenly, a sharp sound, like the rumble of thunder, exploded in the already enclosed warehouse, startling everyone and nearly bursting their eardrums, causing the entire scene to fall silent.
The third day soon arrived, and the workers who had left previously gathered once again at the entrance of the company's office building, eager to hear how the chairman intended to resolve the issues this time
The result is that those leather shoes have been piled up in the house for a year, and my aunt was so angry that she divorced my uncle. Those rags cannot be sold at all; nobody wants them! At that moment, someone jumped out and angrily pointed out Huang He's conspiracy
Upon seeing the Yellow Crane, everyone's anxious hearts were finally set at ease, at least this fellow hasn't run away
"Chairman, how do you intend to bring us back to life?" someone immediately asked eagerly
"Well, what you said about the questions and the topic of the picture book is very accurate. Therefore, I have a question to ask everyone: how many of you are locals from Wenzhou, and how many are here working in Wenzhou? If you are a local friend from Wenzhou, please stand. If you are a friend from outside, please squat down!" Huang He retorted.
Not knowing is one thing, but asking can be startling; over 80% of those present squatted down, and they were all from out of town
MD, I thought you had some good ideas, but it turns out you are just selling goods
Hello, is anyone there? The boxes you ordered have arrived! Just as everyone was perplexed about their future, a driver walked in, also confused, holding the delivery note. He looked at the warehouse full of people and cautiously asked.
The appointed time soon arrived, and Huang He clapped his hands and said, "Alright, those who haven't come, it doesn't matter about them, let's begin my business!"
Although it is unclear what Huang He intends to do, many people still squatted down in an instant
The people present were not fools; many began to understand the situation. Consequently, the atmosphere at the scene started to become agitated and restless, with some individuals jumping up and shouting, "We only want wages, not goods"
So that's how it is! Everyone suddenly understood; it turns out that Huang He plans to have all the workers sell goods, which indeed seems to be a solution
However, the quality of this karaoke machine is quite robust, and the sound is loud enough to captivate the entire venue
Huang He’s words immediately calmed the hearts of those present.
Why is that? Am I Huang He foolish? Of course not, because each of you must also bring back goods worth 10,000 to sell for me. Someone just said that the market in Wenzhou is saturated, and that is indeed true. Therefore, I need you to return to your hometowns, to the places you are familiar with, and whether you borrow, rent, or buy, get a tricycle, take our goods, and go door to door to sell for me. " Huang He calmly articulated his plan for nationwide sales, while all the workers on site looked at Huang He in confusion.
It is simply humiliating to have to walk through the streets and alleys to sell goods; I cannot do this job
Very well, everyone stand up! Huang He said with a smile, "Everyone has worked so hard to come to work in Wenzhou, you must all miss home very much. Therefore, today I, Huang He, will pay for your train tickets and send you all back home."
Many workers still resist strongly. After all, selling goods by walking through the streets and alleys is a very difficult job for many people, primarily because it is hard to maintain face.
Apologies, I am sorry! Just now, the voice was as powerful as Optimus Prime, but at this moment, Leng Zhiruo timidly lowered her head and quickly handed the microphone in her hand to Huang He. Behind her was a set of karaoke equipment, adorned with numerous stickers, including a large photo sticker of Leng Zhiruo herself.
Moreover, how many leather goods factories do we have in Wenzhou? You are not unaware of this. Where else would we Wenzhou people go to produce leather goods? A small Wenzhou cannot even digest one-thousandth of our inventory!
Haha, our treasure box has arrived! Huang He let out a hearty laugh, as if what had been delivered was not a cardboard box, but rather boxes filled with gold!
It is very simple. I believe everyone has seen the mountains of goods piled around us. This is our capital for revival. We only need to work together to sell a portion of these accumulated goods within three months, and we will be able to immediately repay your wages, while also allowing you to make a significant profit for yourselves
This was quite normal; in 2001, Wenzhou was at its most bustling time, with a large influx of migrant workers coming to Wenzhou for employment. Meanwhile, the local residents had mostly become wealthy; even if they had not become rich themselves, their relatives had. They all worked in their relatives' factories, and on the front lines, the vast majority were migrant workers
