100 bloody carats of glucose

I ran my business for almost 3 years.. Two years of learning and one year of earning but the moment i started growing in my business, i felt it’s not something which can satisfy me, not in term of money, but practically in life.. i was in my higher secondary, my subject was Mathematics and all i was doing was just accountability, i was totally into business.. inside out...

So, It was summer and it’s called our season because the amount we’d transact in 3 months nearly equals the rest of nine months. Dabur Glucose-D was the prime product which i had been selling at that time and so i went to the Dabur office for placing my order. Uncle there offered me 1.5% extra discount if i order 100 cartoons and yes i had gone there to buy 20. So i called my dad for discussing this, because i had no idea whether it’s a good deal or not. I could sell 100 as well but it’d take whole season fairly. My dad said this only line, “ only buy if you can sell ”and that ‘can’ was enough to place the order. That was my new target ‘100 bloody carats of glucose’. I woke up next morning and my godown was full of glucose everywhere but i don’t know why that was so eye-pleasuring. So in the evening, i went to market to collect orders and i got a shock. Product with new mrp had been arrived and so was the price, i came back home and started thinking about how to sell these within one or two days, because once a market is full with new product, no one is going to buy the old one. I got an idea, i went to the store where new wasn’t arrived, so i told him that company has launched it’s new price and is Rs.4 more than previous and also, your cost price will be high accordingly, as we know, people will ask for the old price as they don’t understand at all. There was only 20 cartoons left in my godown so i thought i should ask your requirement or i will sell those to others. I don’t know ‘what was convincing part’ but he took all those 20 cartoons, he was kind of wholesaler. I was again disappointed ‘ why i said 20 ? ’. But i came back home and dialled few numbers, applied the same mathematics and i ordered the next 100 cartoons that very same night.
I bought 600 cartoons that month and somehow managed to sell within next 10 days. That figure was double of the ‘sum of rest distributors’ of my area that particular month. I was the happiest and so my dad.
