Reborn in 08, a heretical cultivator starting a business

Chapter 65 The winter melon cycle has arrived, and everyone else can only look on with envy!

"If Jin Xingye hadn't been so enthusiastic and encouraging, how would I have even thought about starting the Hui Group?"

"How could we have lost so much money?"

"Damn it, this guy must be a spy sent by Xu Ao!"

Jia Zhonghao stared coldly at Jin Xingye and said meaningfully:
"Xingye, I only started this group because I listened to your advice, and now we've suffered heavy losses!"

Jin Xingye broke out in a cold sweat: "Brother Hao, I...I...I didn't expect Wang Junshan to be so amazing, actually creating YouTuan.com!"

"He's just a freshman, how dare he?"

"I really can't believe it!"

"If I had known he was this powerful, I would never have let you do group buying. Wouldn't that be like throwing an egg against a rock, courting death?"

Jia Zhonghao's lips twitched: "..."

However, one has to admit that what he said makes sense.

Xu Ao couldn't possibly have known about Wang Junshan's involvement with YouTuan.com!
Could it all be a coincidence?
We had no choice but to put this matter aside and start fruit promotions to clear out inventory.

However, since YouTuan.com's prices are not expensive, and they offer home delivery for orders over 30 yuan, coupled with the fact that they had previously forced everyone to join the group, there was a lot of resistance, so not many students paid any attention to them, and many students left the group.

Even with promotions, only the student council and those who want to join the student council show up; sales are simply not good.

This left Jia Zhonghao feeling quite distressed.

However, YouTuan.com is in a very good position.

Thanks to the winter melon trade-in program, which sold out completely, YouTuan.com's revenue reached one million on the second day!
Profits exceeded 500,000.

YouTuan.com generated over a million yuan in profit within two days of its launch, not only recouping all costs but also achieving a substantial profit!

It can only be said that YouTuan Group Buying has a unique advantage in promoting itself on campus.

Once the vertical e-commerce platform is launched and the user base grows, it can earn even more!

However, Wang Junshan was somewhat worried about Zhongzhong.

He can make a fortune in the vertical e-commerce sector for mothers and babies, but he can't just ignore it.

After much deliberation, I filed a complaint through multiple channels.

All that's left is to wait!
Six o'clock the next day.

Jia Zhonghao returned to Feihang Supermarket and frowned as he watched two large truckloads of winter melons drive towards the YouTuan warehouse.

"Wait a minute, isn't the Binzhou winter melon market saturated? They can't even sell half a truckload a day. How come two truckloads came at once today? Are they selling like hotcakes again?"

"Something's wrong, something's very wrong!"

Unable to understand the situation, Jia Zhonghao quickly dialed Jin Xingye's number.

"What? Binzhou University received two more truckloads of winter melons?" Jin Xingye was also shocked:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

“The Binda Market is already saturated. If he brings in one truckload, it will take him three days to sell it. How could he possibly bring in two truckloads at once?”

"I'm right here in the warehouse, I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake!" Jia Zhonghao was speechless.

"How could this be?" Jin Xingye frowned, reached out and touched the winter melon next to him, his expression changing slightly: "Damn! Why is my winter melon wilted?"

"What did you say? Your winter melon is wilted?" Jia Zhonghao's eyes widened, and he instantly grasped the key point.

"Yeah, it's wilted. I bought it about twenty days ago, so it's normal for it to wilt. I just hope it doesn't rot. I don't want to sleep with a rotten winter melon!"

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously!
Jia Zhonghao instantly understood everything: "It's been about twenty days... and it's rotten!"

"That's right. In the hot summer, winter melons will wilt and rot in about twenty days. Then you have to buy new ones!"

"What does this mean? A new round of market activity is coming!"

"No wonder Wang Junshan brought in two large truckloads of goods, totaling 40,000 jin!"

"I see, that kid's really cunning!"

Jin Xingye, who wasn't fully awake yet, perked up: "Brother Hao, does that mean you can make a lot of money too?"

"That's right, Wang Junshan can't make all the money. I need a share too, to recoup my losses!"

"Brother Hao, I support you! We have to steal his business! You get a truckload too!"

Jia Zhonghao nodded: "I remember Wang Junshan sold several truckloads a day those days. If I order one, it'll definitely be fine!"

"Brother Hao, I wish you... beep beep beep!"

Before he could finish his words of blessing, Jia Zhonghao had already hung up the phone.

"Damn it! Who is this?!"

Jin Xingye cursed, pulled the covers over his head, and went back to sleep.

Jia Zhonghao then dialed the dealer's number:
"Mr. Qian, Feihang Supermarket, give me a truckload of winter melons, 10,000 jin (5,000 kg), how much?" "Packaging, unloading, and shipping fee: 8 mao (0.8 yuan)?!"

"It's so expensive now, wasn't it 4 cents before?"

A cold laugh came from the other end of the phone: "4 cents? That was the price half a month ago. It's already gone up to 6 cents. Yesterday a big boss ordered a large quantity, and the whole market price has risen to 8 cents. Do you want it? It might be a dollar tomorrow!"

"Damn it, it's Wang Junshan's doing again. Every time he orders goods, we're doomed!"

Jia Zhonghao was furious: "Fine, give me 10,000 jin, and deliver it as soon as possible!"

"The market has the goods, they'll arrive soon!" Boss Qian was in high spirits.

Winter melons that cost four cents a pound need to be shipped directly from Shouxian County, and it takes several hours to arrive.

But winter melons that cost 80 cents a pound can be sourced from the Hongyun Wholesale Market.

After all, such a sucker is rare, so we must make arrangements immediately!

Feeling reassured, Jia Zhonghao dialed Jin Xingye's number again and asked him to send a group notification.

Jin Xingye was furious: "Damn it, it's only six o'clock, the weekend, can't a person get any sleep?"

But under the pressure of Chairman Jia's tyranny, he still got up, propped up the computer desk, opened the laptop, waited a minute, and successfully booted up.

Next, open the script and send a group message:
[Feihang Supermarket received a batch of fresh winter melons this morning, only 1.4 yuan per jin (0.5 kg), super cheap, welcome to buy!]

Looking at the group notification, Jia Zhonghao thought to himself, "YouTuan.com sells it for 1.6 yuan per jin, and I'll sell it for 1.4 yuan per jin. It'll definitely be a hot seller."

"Buy at 80 cents, sell at 1.4 yuan, make 60 cents profit per pound, 6000 yuan profit per 10,000 pounds, how wonderful!"

"Today is a day to make money!"

"Finally, I can recover some health."

Then he urged Jin Xingye to come to the supermarket early, lest he be too busy later.

More than half an hour later, all 10,000 catties of winter melons were delivered.

Jin Xingye also came, and he even brought a few lackeys from the student council to help him.

My biggest fear is that when things get busy, we won't have enough manpower.

"Brothers, you've worked hard today. If we sell out, it's on me!" Jia Zhonghao said with a smile.

"Brother Hao is so thoughtful!" The group was thrilled and decisively stood at the door, ready to sell winter melons.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for half an hour, no one came to buy.

Finally, someone came to buy something, and it was sanitary napkins; they needed them urgently.

This left Jia Zhonghao speechless: "Something's not right!"

"Brother Hao, could it be that it's the weekend and it's too early, so no one's up yet?"

"Possibly, let's see."

By 10 o'clock, no one had come.

Ten thousand catties of winter melons, and not a single one was sold!
"How could this be?"

Jia Zhonghao panicked: "Let's go, let's go to YouTuan and see what's going on."

Leaving one person behind to watch the shop, Jia Zhonghao and the others went over and were immediately dumbfounded.

Everyone was queuing up at YouTuan to get their winter melons.

"Why? I'm selling it for 1.4 yuan a pound, and nobody wants it! Wang Junshan sells it for 1.6 yuan a pound, and everyone's lining up to buy it! Are these people out of their minds?"

Jia Zhonghao was shocked, angry, and very puzzled.

"Brother Hao, wait a minute, look, they gave the old winter melon to You Tuan, took the new winter melon, and four cans of Coke."

"Old winter melon for new winter melon? Plus a free Coke!" Jia Zhonghao was dumbfounded: "Holy crap, you can do that?"

"Damn it, how could Wang Junshanzhen come up with such a wicked method?"

"No wonder I can't sell them even if I lower the price by two cents!"

"Four cans of Coke cost 10 yuan at the supermarket, and even the cheaper ones on YouTuan.com cost 8 yuan. I only saved 2 mao, so I'm definitely not as good as them."

"Should we continue to lower the price?" Jin Xingye asked.

"What's the point of lowering the price? I only have a profit of 6 cents to begin with. If I lower it by another 10 yuan, how am I supposed to make a profit? It's a waste of my time."

Jia Zhonghao sighed, finally understanding Wang Junshan's actions:
"He wants to use trade-in subsidies to retain users!"

"Even if I sell it a little cheaper, nobody buys it. They all go to YouTuan.com just for four cans of Coke."

"In this way, all the profits from this winter melon cycle will still be swallowed up by Wang Junshan!"

"We can only look on with envy!"
