Chapter 62 Wanzhou Trip 2
The owner of the pickled vegetable shop quickly noticed Wan Chu’er’s unusualness and asked with a smile, "What is the young lady thinking about?"
Wan Chu’er honestly replied, "I think you’re quite impressive. If you were to sell our pickled vegetables to restaurants, the success rate would be at least 70%. I feel that selling pickled vegetables here is a bit of a waste of your talent."
"Oh?" The man became interested and smiled, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Wan Chu’er thought for a moment and said, "Sell more expensive items. Generally, the more expensive the item, the higher the sales profit. For instance, a pound of these pickled vegetables only makes a few cents profit, at most one yuan. For example, if you sold an air conditioner, the profit would probably be in the thousands."
She didn’t quite remember how much air conditioners cost now, only remembering that the profits for air conditioners in the early 1990s were particularly high, so she conservatively said a number.
Hearing Wan Chu’er’s words, the man laughed heartily and said,
"You’re both right and wrong. Selling an air conditioner indeed makes more money than selling a pound of pickled vegetables, but pickled vegetables can be bought by every household, everyone can afford them, whereas not every household can afford an air conditioner. Many families, once they buy one, won’t buy another for several years, but pickled vegetables are different; buy today, and they will come back to buy again tomorrow. So, selling air conditioners is not necessarily more profitable than selling pickled vegetables."
Indeed eloquent, Wan Chu’er mentally gave this man a thumbs up, then asked, "So where was I right?"
"I am very impressive, hahaha."
Wan Chu’er: "..."
