The excitement continued until noon and showed no signs of abating. On the contrary, more and more people got the news and came to shop or simply watch the excitement.
And on such an important day as the first day of Changle Clothing Store's opening, how could my good brother Liu Bo miss it?
He sneaked out of the factory as soon as work got off at noon. Not only did he come, he also brought Yu Changle a friend he hadn't seen for a long time - Lu Yuting!
Yu Changle was very happy to see them, as if she was transported back to the day when she first came to the city in the 1980s and met them. There was a special friendship between the three of them.
"Changle, congratulations!"
Lu Yuting wore a goose-yellow dress and a white hairband on her head. She looked very young and beautiful.
She handed over the flowers she brought, which were a handful of tender pink daisies, which surprised Yu Changle.
"What beautiful flowers, thank you Yuting!"
Yu Changle did not expect that anyone would know the etiquette of sending flowers in the 1980s. His joy at receiving the beautiful bouquet was beyond words. He immediately found a vase, put the flowers in it, and placed it in a prominent position in the middle of the counter.
Lu Yuting saw Yu Changle so happy receiving the flowers, which made her even happier.
"Changle, this store you opened is really fashionable. I saw it at a glance from a distance. It is different from other stores. It has a very literary and artistic feel."
Lu Yuting praised it from the bottom of her heart. Not only the appearance, but also the decoration inside the store was very artistic.
Yu Changle smiled and said: "I also referred to some articles published in "Home" and designed it based on my own preferences. It seems that the effect is pretty good."
"It's not only good, it's simply too beautiful. I'm not telling you, this is the only one in the entire Jinbo City, and no other store can compare with it!"
Liu Bo admired Yu Changle more and more, and realized the importance of reading more.
Yu Changle called Yu Changxi over and introduced them to them: "Let's get to know each other. These two are my sister's good friends, Brother Bo and Yu Ting. This is my younger brother, Yu Changxi."
Yu Changxi greeted me obediently: "Hello, brother Bo, hello, sister Yuting."
Liu Bo smiled and said: "Ignoring his face, as soon as he heard the name, he knew he was his biological brother."
Lu Yuting joked: "Hey, don't rush to call me sister. I'm still a student. I don't know who is older between us."
Yu Changxi, who thought he had said something wrong, blushed and looked at Yu Changle helplessly.
Yu Changle smiled and said: "Shouldn't I call you sister? My younger brother has also been admitted to the Biology Department of Yuzhou Normal University this year. He is your freshman student. Even if he is older than you, he still has to call you senior sister. !”
"What a coincidence! Freshmen will register next week. If you have any questions then, feel free to ask me. I am a sophomore in the English Department of the School of Foreign Languages."
Since he is Yu Changle's younger brother, Lu Yuting naturally has to take care of him. Otherwise, her personality in school would not be as enthusiastic as it is now. She is a well-known cold goddess in the Foreign Languages School.
Yu Changxi nodded quickly in agreement. It is always good to have an acquaintance to look after each other in a new environment.
Seeing that business in the store was very good, the two of them didn't waste much of Yu Changle's time. They made an appointment to meet next time and left first.
The excitement lasted until the store closing time at 6pm, and the customers in the store reluctantly left one after another.
All the customers who come to the store are full of favorable impressions of this newly opened Changle clothing store. Not only the clothes are beautiful and fashionable, but also the attitude of the boss and store staff is particularly good.
Regardless of whether they buy it or not, as long as they notice which piece of clothing the customer is interested in, they always enthusiastically invite the customer to try it on. Even if they say they don't have enough money, their attitude is still enthusiastic, which is really endearing to people.
After closing the door, Yu Changle called Li Mei and Yu Changxi, and took out an iron box from the counter drawer, which contained today's turnover.
She looked at the two of them with a smile and asked playfully: "Guess, how much is the turnover today?"
Li Mei's mathematics was limited to small expenditures for daily necessities. When she thought of the huge crowds of people today, she felt that it was difficult to calculate.
Yu Changxi estimated the number of customers who came to the counter to check out every hour, and then estimated the average consumption amount. He took out a pen and paper and calculated it. He was so shocked that he didn't dare to speak.
Li Mei took it over and took a look at it curiously, and exclaimed: "God! Changxi, how much did you write here? Even my aunt dare not recognize it!"
Yu Changle was also a little curious: "Let me take a look."
There are a few simple calculations on the paper, and next to them is written the result calculated by Yu Changxi: three hundred and eighty yuan!
Li Mei whispered to the side: "Isn't it possible? Can you earn more in one day than other people's wages in a year?"
Yu Changle didn't give in anymore. She was very satisfied with the revenue on the first day of opening. She reported the correct answer under the expectant eyes of the two people:
"Total... five hundred and eighteen dollars and fifty cents!"
"What?!"
Li Meichao exclaimed loudly and then suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes as big as copper bells.
Yu Changxi's face turned red with excitement and his voice trembled: "Sister, there are so many!"
Yu Changle nodded happily: "You are already very close, but you forgot that our store's treasure has been sold!"
Yu Changxi suddenly realized that he had indeed forgotten to add the one hundred yuan just now.
This day's revenue was really impressive. Yu Changle did a rough calculation. After excluding the fabric cost of 180 yuan and Li Mei's piece-rate salary of 40 yuan, without sharing the rent, decoration and other costs, the net profit was It reached two hundred and ninety-eight yuan and fifty cents, which is less than three hundred yuan!
Li Mei was speechless. She knew that the store would make a lot of money today, but she didn't expect to make so much. She admired Yu Changle even more.
Yu Changle asked her with a smile: "Sister-in-law Li, business is good on the first day of business today. Guess how much commission you will get today?"
Li Mei couldn't believe it and said, "I was so busy today that I didn't even make time to make a single piece of clothing. Is there still a commission?"
She originally thought that piece-rate commission would only be calculated when the orders she received in the store were completed. Today, she was so busy that she had no time to touch the sewing machine. But in the end, Changle still wanted to give her a commission?
But from Yu Changle's point of view, most of the clothes in the store were made at home by Li Mei according to Yu Changle's designs in the days before the store opened. Of course, Li Mei's piece-rate salary will be included in the sale.
She is not a capitalist who only exploits cheap labor. What she wants to do is bring her family and friends to get rich together!
Yu Changle smiled and stretched out four fingers, looking at her without saying anything.
Li Mei was so surprised that she couldn't speak. After a while, she tentatively guessed: "Four, four yuan?"
Oh my God, if she could really earn four yuan a day, she would have one hundred and twenty yuan a month!
It’s equal to half a year’s salary of an ordinary worker, and higher than her Lao Wang’s salary!
"wrong!"
Yu Changle looked at her with a smile: "Add another zero!"
