Chapter Sixteen: Sweetness
[69 Book Bar - www.] As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Zhao Gang starts to get busy. Among the 200 ducks he raises, the smallest one weighs five kilograms, the largest one weighs more than seven kilograms, and most of them weigh around six kilograms.
The ducks have been fattened up, and it's time to see how they can be sold. Two hundred ducks are neither too much nor too little. Zhao Gang roughly calculated that the village could barely count a hundred households, even if every household had
He only asked for a hundred ducks, not to mention that many people in the village raised ducks at home, so in the end, they would have to find a bigger market.
"As long as you have good wine, you are not afraid of deep alleys. As long as your duck is delicious, if you spread the word, people will naturally buy ducks from you." Father Zhao told Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang didn't think much about it. Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys. That was the way of selling in the old days. It is a traditional custom to eat duck during the Mid-Autumn Festival and chicken during the New Year. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Wait until people know that you have ducks for sale. Please buy them.
The desire has long since passed, who will come to buy ducks?
"This is an old and outdated method. Now we not only need to have good products, but also pay more attention to publicity and let people know as quickly as possible that we have ducks for sale here," said Zhao Gang.
"What do you want to do?" Zhao's father said. He still adopts the old-fashioned way in terms of sales concepts. He firmly believes that as long as the quality is good, there is no need to worry about not selling.
"Advertise." Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the county to print some flyers, and then distribute them to nearby villages and put them up in the vegetable market in the county."
"Do you think this method will work?" Father Zhao asked in surprise. Is this method too bold?
"How will you know if you don't give it a try?" Zhao Gang said optimistically. No matter whether this method works or not, doing it will always be better than not doing it.
"Then let's try it," Father Zhao said. Since printing a few pieces of paper doesn't cost much, just let him go.
Zhao Gang did what he said. Early the next morning, he immediately rode to the county seat and found a photocopying department. In order to save costs, he chose the cheapest one, with a few simple and eye-catching lines, plus his address and himself.
I printed out two hundred copies of the contact information, sold a bottle of glue at a stationery store, and pasted it on the walls and telephone poles of the vegetable market. After pasting it, Zhao Gang suddenly had an idea, why don’t I just go find those ducks?
Dealer? Although the profit is a little less, the sales are fast. If we can negotiate a few and supply them all year round, then we still have to worry about not being able to sell the ducks?
Zhao Gang hurriedly returned to the wet market with the flyer. There were more than a dozen shops specializing in selling ducks. Zhao Gang visited each one one by one to promote the products.
"I don't even know what your duck looks like, but you want me to pay for your duck. What the hell is this?"
"Well, I'll bring some ducks over tomorrow. You can take a look. If you think they're suitable, you can keep them and sell them. How about asking for the money after they're sold?"
"It's pretty much the same. You can come and take a look at it tomorrow."
Basically all the store owners have the same idea. They are worried if they can't see the goods. But Zhao Gang doesn't know that the owners of these stores usually have fixed suppliers to establish long-term cooperative relationships, and generally they will not turn them down easily unless they
Find a more suitable supplier. They said this to Zhao Gang firstly because they were taking a chance, maybe the breed of ducks is really better, and secondly because Zhao Gang is such a hard-working young man, so they gave him some hope.
Back in the pond, Zhao Gang carefully selected fifteen ducks. These ducks are usually fed with grains and debris, and basically no feed. In the county town, there is a fashionable saying called organic ducks. They are raised in China.
During the process, no various feed and other additives are fed, and the breeding is purely ecological. This is very different from ordinary feed ducks, just like local chickens and foreign feed chickens. The taste of the two is very different. Of course, the price
It will be relatively more expensive, but city people have a lot of money, and they are willing to buy anything no matter how expensive it is, as long as it is good.
Zhao Gang showed them the lively ducks. These shopkeepers were all experts, and they could tell at a glance that these ducks were definitely authentic! They were all moved.
"A sister Lin fell from the sky."
Genuine ducks are often hard to come by, especially when approaching major festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival, when demand exceeds supply.
"How many ducks like you have?"
Seeing the fiery expressions in their eyes, Zhao Gang was very excited, indicating that there was hope. He did not expect that these ducks were treasures and could earn almost double the price if they were resold. No wonder they were so excited.
"About two hundred."
"Give me fifty!"
"I'll give you fifty, too. The price is three yuan more than the average duck."
Zhao Gang was so happy that he didn't expect his ducks to be so popular and have become a hot commodity. Soon his 200 ducks were all booked. They also discussed coming over tomorrow to have a look. If they are suitable, they will establish a long-term supply and demand relationship.
, Zhao Gang will raise as many ducks as he wants from now on.
Zhao Gang was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
Two hundred ducks were sold out in two days, and the price was three yuan more than the market price. As soon as the news spread, Zhao Gang immediately became the talk of the village.
