The current environment is more suitable for planting seeds.
Professor Jiang once said that college students are a vital asset to the nation.
Shao Wanwan only said these words to solve the problem, but they shocked Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Moli.
What was initially thought to be an oversight turned out to be intentional.
The key point is that Shao Wanwan was not arrogant; she knew that it would take time for people to accept her, including herself.
Shao Moli's menstrual flow has always been heavy, and the allowance Zhang Suran gave her was simply not enough to buy high-end sanitary napkins. She didn't want to worry her grandmother... nor did she want to soil the bed, so she could only buy cheaper ones at the market...
Every time she bought those cheap sanitary napkins, she would ask the vendor to put them in several layers of black plastic bags. She was afraid that others would see her buying such cheap sanitary napkins, and she didn't want others to know that she would buy sanitary napkins. She was so afraid that these soft things would puncture the bags and fall to the ground, so she asked for several layers of bags.
Each time, I would be looked at with a mocking gaze by the stall owner who was reluctant to part with the bag, or I would be met with two incomprehensible eye rolls.
Life in Yantang Village was not easy.
Shao Moli resembled Zhang Suran in appearance, but her physique was like that of the tall Shao Guanghua.
Therefore, she was physically strong and had a lot of strength from a young age.
Because she was healthy, she started menstruating early; before her classmates even started, she had started in the sixth grade of elementary school.
From then on, this became her nightmare.
No one explained to her why she was like this. She looked at the blood on the stool and cried her heart out, thinking she was going to die.
Later, her grandmother came to the school to pick her up, walking slowly and carefully. She told her that this was menstruation, which all women experience, and that her Jasmine was a big girl now.
Then I made her some brown sugar water and poached an egg in it.
My grandmother used toilet paper instead of sanitary napkins her whole life, so I found her some clean toilet paper and taught her how to use it...
The paper was thick and rough, and she used it for a year.
She didn't know about sanitary napkins until she got to junior high school...
In the countryside, there are many children like her. She has a kind grandmother who loves her. Some girls have to cut pig feed when they have their period and walk two or three kilometers to school...
Menstruation brought back too many unpleasant memories, and Shao Moli frowned slightly.
If Shao Wanwan could soothe the shame that is deeply rooted in every girl's heart, that would be such a wonderful thing.
"There's something else I'd like to discuss with you." Shao Wanwan stopped drawing and looked up at them.
Since it's a team, she can't just make decisions unilaterally.
Zhao Hui looked at her, her eyes filled with pride.
“You tell us, we’re listening,” Zhao Hui said quickly.
“I want to launch a new low-priced sanitary napkin every week, one that’s good quality but inexpensive, and put it on the second floor. We can then bundle it with socks and other items for sale. Everyone can easily tell that the price is reasonable. We can’t afford the big brands, but as long as the quality is good, that’s fine. Some of my roommates can’t afford sanitary napkins and are using toilet paper.” Shao Wanwan was a little downcast.
Actually, this was something she just thought of.
She looked into Shao Moli's eyes and realized that she was probably using a mixture of toilet paper and sanitary napkins.
Zhang Suran initially gave him 100 yuan for living expenses, but later stopped giving him both living expenses and tuition fees.
She also told Shao Moli not to tell Shao Guanghua.
During the Chinese New Year, Shao Guanghua gave her an 800 yuan red envelope, but Zhang Suran actually took it all back...
Simply...
The first floor has already signed a contract with General Manager Qi. Although the contract is for two years, he guarantees that the goods supplied are genuine. Shao Wanwan must abide by the rules and cannot put other brands of sanitary napkins on the shelves herself.
She had already selected one or two sanitary napkins that were 50 cents cheaper per pack than those in other supermarkets, leaving almost no profit margin.
If the price goes any lower, it will disrupt market order, and someone will definitely come looking for trouble.
Shao Wanwan isn't doing charity work. If she wants to do more, she first needs to survive in the brutal market competition. Only when she's doing well can she benefit others.
She understands this principle, so she will never hesitate to sell cigarettes and alcohol that are profitable.
Therefore, in order to make sanitary napkins affordable for students who cannot afford them at all, they can only be sold on the second floor along with other items.
The profit margins of major brand sanitary napkin brands are already very transparent.
The purchase prices are also roughly the same.
There was simply no room for maneuver.
It can only be a generic brand, but one with acceptable quality.
“I can call my aunt and ask. They have a partner brand that supplies hospitals. It’s medical-grade. It might not be the most comfortable, but the sterilization is definitely up to standard,” Jiang Zheyuan said, looking up as he remembered something.
If the quality is up to standard, Shao Wanwan can order more stock, since sanitary napkins have a long shelf life anyway.
Shao Wanwan nodded. At this moment, she truly realized that Jiang Zheyuan's connections were a treasure trove. Otherwise, with the limited connections she and Zhao Hui had accumulated, they would have found it extremely difficult to get anything done in today's society where people rely on favors.
Just the one time they tried to advertise on a local TV station, the staff said it was so difficult that it couldn't even be done.
After listening to Jiang Zheyuan's explanation, Shao Wanwan remembered something. She looked at Shao Moli and said, "I propose that we add a new employee benefit every month: 50 yuan worth of sanitary napkins per person, three packs of daytime use and two packs of nighttime use, with each female employee receiving it once a month."
Zhao Hui was taken aback. She was a little unhappy. It wasn't that she thought it was bad, but she felt that it would increase the expenses. Shao Wanwan knew that if she said that this expense would be deducted from her share of the profits, Zhao Hui would definitely be embarrassed and it would seem like she was being petty.
Zhao Hui was just used to being frugal. She ran a small shop by herself, and she could only make money by desperately cutting costs.
So her habitual way of thinking is to save money.
There's no need to hire employees, and there's no need to treat employees so well, because money and costs are involved everywhere.
Shao Wanwan patiently explained, "Our supermarket currently employs only female staff, and sanitary napkins are an expense. If they are reluctant to use sanitary napkins and switch to toilet paper, it will also affect their work. We all know that toilet paper is thick and abrasive; standing all day is really unbearable."
Zhao Hui lowered her head and didn't speak; she was clearly a little unhappy.
Shao Wanwan leaned closer and said, "Sister Zhao, we haven't even thought about the employees' food and lodging yet! Other bosses all provide food and lodging! We haven't even thought about it yet, it's already good enough that they're willing to work for us."
The current trend is for bosses to provide meals and accommodation.
This way, the salary can be lower.
However, Shao Wanwan inquired about the living environment and found it to be very cramped and potentially unsafe.
Five or six people were crammed into a room much smaller than a school dormitory, and it was all a haphazardly built bungalow, which made Shao Wanwan's eyes burn with desire.
