Accounts can be transferred from public to public, and each mask costs 0.1 yuan
Now, every order Cheng Cheng promotes, he requires the buyer to sign a contract with the company, which can avoid risks on the one hand and protect his own income on the other. In his circle of friends, there was a note: “You can go public to business, you can invoice.”

For the mask order of Times Financial Consulting, Cheng Yuan quoted a price of RMB 3.4 per head. According to him, the purchase cost price was 2.8 yuan / piece, and the company gave him a price of 3.3 yuan / piece, and he added an extra 0.1 yuan to each one to make a quotation.
“There were many people who went to Russia to buy masks together. They sold for a dozen dollars, and that was a huge profit. If it wasn’t for lack of funds, they all wanted to cut off the masks of the entire factory. “Cheng Yuan doesn’t think the difference he is earning is too much.” What’s wrong with earning some money on the basis of helping others? “Cheng Yuan commented on his current business. Although the epidemic has caused an immediate gap in China, he doesn’t think he should be condemned morally.
Cheng Yuan said that the shortage of domestic masks will be relieved within a long time. He now attaches more importance to selling masks to maintain his business circle and strengthen his network.
In his opinion, the difference between a domestic company earning 0.5 yuan per mask is also reasonable. After deducting transportation costs and opening up relationships in various links, the profit is not much. In case something goes wrong on the way, it cannot be delivered on time. Responsibility must also be borne by the company.
In order to facilitate the transaction, Cheng Yuan told Times Finance that if customers need it, they can quote an invoice and they can provide the corresponding amount of invoices. “This is a normal operation.” But he added, “Don’t make the offer too high, otherwise it will be easy to make mistakes and cause unnecessary trouble.”
Cheng Yuan said that with the easing of the domestic epidemic in China, the public’s panic has gradually decreased, and the domestic mask production and supply are gradually recovering, “the demand for large-scale purchase of masks will gradually decrease.”
Cheng Yuan estimates that his mask agency business “can only be done up to the end of March.” He hopes to build a good way for his e-commerce business this year after the epidemic has ended through the network of contacts he has recently bought.
