Chapter 166 Vision
"But why do you only sell Minghua's goods?" Bo Song asked in confusion.
Nanchun thought for a moment and said, "I saw in the newspaper that it's not just Fuyuanji that's in trouble right now; Minghua is also having a hard time. My mother uses Minghua's hair oil; it costs one dollar a bottle and lasts a long time."
Look at this Western hair oil, it costs over ten yuan. If all factories like Minghua go bankrupt, we'll have to use expensive Western products. It's okay for the rich, but how can ordinary people afford it?
I think there should be products at different price points on the market to cater to people with different needs. If only one company is selling something, wouldn't it be like that company is charging exorbitant prices and everyone would be helpless?
Also…if we reopen Minghua’s sales channel, when you, Second Young Master, go to negotiate business with foreigners, is it possible that this Western hair oil that costs more than ten yuan can be sold for eight yuan, or even five yuan?”
This is the truth that Bai Xun told him in his previous life.
At that time, many foreign goods were also pouring into He'an County, and everyone was eager to buy them. Foreign goods were very attractive and offered high profits. Gradually, many businesses only sold foreign goods.
He often heard maids and servants complaining about not being able to buy cheap rouge and powder. Gradually, many people either stopped using them or found ways to make their own.
Bo Xun then told him, "If we want sustainable economic development, we need a situation where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought compete with each other, rather than a single dominant force."
"The Second Young Madam is very far-sighted!" Bai Dahai exclaimed.
Indeed, a visionary one.
He understood these principles, but he was surprised that someone like Nanchun, who had never even left He'an County, could see them so clearly.
Bai Song suddenly understood why Xundi was so in love with Nanchun.
This person always brings many unexpected surprises to others.
"Once the news gets out today, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to our store tomorrow. Young Master, order more goods from Minghua!" Nanchun said.
"I called Minghua this afternoon and asked them to deliver it tomorrow morning. Minghua's boss Ji Mingguang also said that he would come to deliver it in person." Bai Song said with a smile.
Nanchun nodded and said, "Okay, Manager Hai, put all the shelves facing the main entrance with Minghua's goods, and put up a conspicuous sign. When Boss Ji comes tomorrow, he must see it as soon as he enters the door." Nanchun gestured in front of the shelf.
Seeing this, Bo Song asked, "Why? Do you want to have a good chat with Boss Ji?"
Nanchun smiled and nodded. "Foreign goods are so popular nowadays that it's hard for Minghua to gain a foothold. Since you, young master, dare to take on Minghua's new product, you actually still have hope for it."
I've looked at the purchase orders, and the prices the foreigners are asking for are getting higher and higher. Things that used to be quite profitable are now even less profitable than some domestic products. The problem is, we've already increased our prices, and they still haven't delivered the goods we're supposed to.
I heard from the shipping manager that we've paid in full for the wine we ordered, but it's almost six months past the delivery date and still hasn't arrived. A few days ago, a batch of wine finally arrived. Those foreigners were actually hawking it openly at the dock, haggling for the highest price.
Isn't this dishonesty and price gouging? Instead of being controlled by others, why not find more ways to force them to beg us to help them sell their goods?
If Minghua's goods sell well and the foreigners lose their customers, they will be the ones who are anxious. Just like Bai Xun said, we can't compete with the first and second masters head-on, but we can deepen cooperation with the fourth master. I think it's the same principle!"
Bo Song nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, when Boss Ji comes tomorrow, you can talk to him. From now on, Minghua's goods will be handed over to you."
Nan Chun looked at him in surprise and quickly refused, "Me? I can't do that. I'm just copying Bai Xun's idea. It's hard to say whether it will work or not."
Bo Song patted him on the shoulder and said, "Give it a try. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. Try your best to save the situation. Even the slightest improvement will be a success."
You did a great job today. I told Boss Ji that I wanted to place an additional order, and he was very surprised. Otherwise, why would he come here in person tomorrow?"
"Yes, Second Young Madam, you can do it. We sold more this afternoon than in the past half month." Bai Dahai said.
Seeing this, Nanchun mustered up the courage to respond, "If that's the case, I'll give it a try. Just a try! Don't blame me if I lose!"
"Why would I blame you? There's no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business," Bai Song said with a smile.
The next day, people heard that the man's wife was not afraid of being watched and came out to sell the goods herself. The business did not drive away the onlookers and sold the goods at a low price.
One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.
For a moment, the doors and outside of Bai's Trading Company were crowded with people.
When Ji Mingguang arrived, he was surprised to see the business was so bustling.
The people around him whispered, "The second young lady of the Bai family has become famous with that shot. Those who used to dislike the third young master Sheng now have a favorable impression of him. My wife even asked me to bring her to see him today."
Ji Mingguang nodded and walked into the store. The moment he entered, he saw Minghua's products, neatly and beautifully displayed. Each item had a price tag, and there was also a beautiful, eye-catching billboard on the side.
"Oh, Master Bai really values our Minghua."
Ji Mingguang looked delighted.
In recent years, everyone has been chasing foreign goods, and Minghua's business has plummeted. He has to beg for money after he sells the goods to the merchant.
However, Master Bai always paid for his orders in full and never gave him any trouble. So when the new product came out, he gave it to Bai's Trading Company first.
"Girl, look at this hand oil, it has the scent of jasmine. You must take good care of your hands in winter, otherwise they will become dry, cracked, and have hangnails. It will not only look unsightly, but also cause you pain." Nanchun was introducing it to people in front of the shelf.
"Yes, take two, one for my mother. When will the new blush arrive?" the girl asked.
Nanchun looked at Ji Mingguang standing at the door. He had seen him in the newspaper, so he naturally recognized him.
"Boss Ji, please tell the customers when the goods will be available." Nanchun said to him with a smile.
Ji Mingguang was slightly stunned.
"Minghua's boss!"
"Boss Ji!"
Ji Mingguang noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you very much for your support. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting! The products have been delivered. To thank you for your support, Minghua will launch better products and more favorable discounts for everyone in the future."
"Good!" Nanchun applauded.
“We will definitely support you!”
Everyone applauded.
"Thank you everyone! Thank you everyone!" Ji Mingguang clasped his fists.
"Everyone, when you buy Minghua products in the future, please make sure to buy our Bai's Trading Company!" Nanchun said with a smile.
When Ji Mingguang heard this, he felt a little relieved.
The Bai family is also interested in deepening cooperation with Minghua, which is great.
