At eight o'clock in the morning, Wang Ye arrived in Yuntai City in jeep 212.
When I arrived at the unloading area at the back entrance of the department store, I saw a large truck from a machinery factory parked here. A group of young people were busy, and many salespeople who had not yet gone to work looked at it curiously.
"Be smart, it's already eight o'clock!"
"After unloading, the factory director will take you to a restaurant to have a good meal!"
Hearing Wang Ye's voice, the young man who was unloading the goods in the car didn't care at all and said with a smile:
"Brother Ye, you asked us all to go slower this morning, but you didn't dare to bump into each other. Why do you want us to go faster now?"
"Aren't we being careful now? Slow work will lead to careful work!"
The young men who were unloading the goods instantly burst into laughter, and some even looked at Wang Ye expectantly and asked:
"Brother Ye, what should we have for lunch? You said you would treat everyone to a good meal."
“I didn’t even dare to eat the fried salted fish and pancakes that my mother made for me this morning!”
As soon as these words came out, the scene burst into laughter again. Wang Ye couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said:
"We've already made a reservation. We're going to Fushun Restaurant today."
"We will eat a big banquet made of whole pigs. I will be responsible for paying for it, and you will pay for the food stamps yourself!"
"There are ham, pork ribs, pork belly, pork head, meatballs, big bones and everything else. I'm full today, so eat them all. I'll make sure your buttholes are oily tomorrow!"
"Horse! I'm so hungry!"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, there was laughter again, and Wang Ye waved his hand and said:
"Okay, you move, please pay attention to safety!"
"When you're hungry after moving, go have breakfast. I'll go check out our stall!"
Then Wang Ye walked into the department store and walked towards the stall that Director Li contacted.
The department store, also known as the state-owned Hongqi Shopping Mall, is currently the largest sales place in Yuntai City. It covers a considerable area and has four floors. The location designated for the machinery factory is not far from the gate on the first floor. It's a good location.
"Fifty square meters, just a little more!"
Seeing the busy people at the stall, Wang Ye couldn't help but sigh secretly. In today's era, everything is lacking, but there is no shortage of place.
"Brother Ye! Director! Are you here? Let's see if it works!"
As soon as Wang Ye arrived near the stall, the busy manufacturing factory employees saw him and greeted him one after another. The people who called Wang Ye "Brother Ye" were all young people. When they were not serious, they liked to call this person who is only a few years older than themselves. Even the factory manager who is not even as old as me is Brother Ye, who seems to be close to him, but most of the people who call him factory manager are middle-aged women.
Standing in front of the stall, Wang Ye glanced around.
Because this stall is not against the wall, but is located in the lobby of the department store, it is a square space. Near the aisle, there is a row of half-person-high counters, and two-meter-high shelves are used to cover the entire space behind it. It was surrounded, but the shelves were used to sell other products. The grid was only 40 to 50 centimeters high and could not fit an electric fan, so the electric fan and washing machine could only be placed in front of the shelf.
Overall, it's pretty good, no different from other stalls.
"How's it going? Brother Ye? Not bad, right?"
“Basically everything has been packed up and we’re just waiting to go on sale tomorrow.”
"And just now, several people have already come to inquire!"
"You say our electric fan is beautiful! Hahaha!"
At this moment, Li Baojun came out of nowhere and said with a smile. At the same time, he was waiting for Wang Ye's praise. Unexpectedly, Wang Ye shook his head and said:
"no."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. They didn't know what the problem was!
Li Baojun's smile also froze, and he couldn't help but look to the side. The layout of other stalls was basically the same, and the stalls at the manufacturing factory were kept cleaner!
"Is there any problem? Factory director? If it doesn't work, we will change it! We have enough time, and we will definitely not delay tomorrow's sales!"
This was the case with Li Baojun. Although he didn't know what the problem was, Wang Ye said there was a problem, so there must be a problem. After all, in his opinion, the factory director must be smarter and more knowledgeable than him, so he quickly asked, A serious look.
Hearing what Li Baojun said, Wang Ye couldn't help but sigh. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the current placement of this stall. After all, in this era, everyone does it this way.
Surround the entire stall with a counter and put things on the shelves. If a customer asks, say something in an annoyed tone. If the customer wants to take a closer look at expensive and scarce products like electric fans, that's not the case. It's impossible!
Only after handing over the money and ticket will he reluctantly take the things to the counter.
Now, in 1982, except for the first areas in the south to open up, most places in the country have this kind of behavior!
But for Wang Ye, this is too nonsense!
And it’s okay for department store salespeople to do this. After all, they are tough because they have an iron job. It doesn’t matter whether they are enthusiastic or not. As long as they don’t take the initiative to beat customers, it will not affect their monthly salary anyway.
But not for manufacturing plants!
After all, they are responsible for their own profits and losses, and they may be in debt. Moreover, for employees, the sales of each product are closely related to themselves, and they must not look like state-owned salespersons!
"It's okay. It's not your fault. It's because I didn't make it clear before. Come on! Let's change it now. It's too late!"
Then Wang Ye waved his hand and said this. Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye glanced around the employees of the manufacturing plant and said:
"We sell electric fans, and what is the most important thing about an electric fan?"
"Besides, electric fans are not cheap. If you want to buy an electric fan, do you want to take a closer look?"
"And our washing machine, is it the same thing?"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, the employees took it in and nodded in approval. Then Wang Ye said:
"In that case, how should we change it?"
At this time, the scene was silent again. Only many salesmen were eating melon seeds and watching, as if they were watching a monkey show. Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye coughed lightly and said when he saw the people who had no thoughts at all.
"In this way, only one counter will be left, and the rest will be moved away, as well as these shelves, so clear this place!"
"The rest of the counter is placed in this corner, just for cashier functions."
"Then, put a row of electric fans here, quickly find us a power source and a plug board, plug them in, and then blow them up. We sell electric fans. The most important thing is to make the people who buy them feel cool. !right?"
"Then put a row of small stools here for customers to sit and rest. Also prepare a few thermos bottles and a large number of enamel water jars, and place them next to it!"
"Also, go to the stall next to us and buy us some melon seeds and candies. Find a small table in front and let the waiting guests eat and drink!"
"Finally, there is a row of washing machines here to collect all the dirty clothes you have finished working today. When the door opens tomorrow, open a washing machine and wash your smelly clothes in front of us. The washed clothes will be hung up. later!"
"Understood? We sell washing machines, so we need to let everyone know that our washing machine washes cleanly! It's just like the previous test in the factory!"
"There are two more signs to prepare."
"Just stand on the left and right and write down the prices of our electric fans and washing machines!"
Just as Wang Ye directed a group of young people to rearrange the stalls, more and more salespeople were attracted, and even customers who were coming and going couldn't help but watch.
"Huh? What are they doing?"
"I heard that the little factory director is not satisfied with the layout!"
"Oh oh oh! Isn't everyone like this? I feel pretty good! Young people don't know what they want to do."
"Who knows! It looks like they want customers to walk in? And sit down? And drink tea?"
"Tch, isn't this a messy pot of porridge? It's not pretty at all!"
"No! What do they know about sales? They are just playing the piano randomly!"
"You're actually selling an electric fan? Where is it made?"
"I heard it's from Laiyang County, the Red Star Machinery Factory that used to make weapons..."
As more and more people gathered around the stall, pointing and talking around the stall, there was even a salesperson who ran directly upstairs to make a report to the director of the department store management office.
