Three days later, the master called from a public phone booth in his hometown and told Yang Liufang that he had arrived home safely. He also scolded Yang Liufang: "You kid, you put a thousand yuan in my bag just when you needed money."
"Master, I went back to raise funds, and it was you who helped me solve the problem. After you came to Xizhou, you took us to work every day. I didn't even buy you any clothes. You can buy something for yourself and my wife. Also. It’s my filial piety.”
"You, if your wife hadn't packed her luggage and found out, I wouldn't have known about it. Your wife and I accepted the filial piety and saved the money for you. Master can still make money with his craftsmanship. When will the old man no longer be able to move? You are being filial. Master. Don’t do this again.”
"Master, I have written it down. As you requested, I will divide Shi Yong and Shi Fang into two groups and lead them to work every day."
"Well, work hard and get busy. Master is proud of you."
"Thank you, master. Take care of yourself. Goodbye."
"See you."
Yang Liufang just put down the phone, but before he left the house, the phone rang again. Turning around and picking up the phone, Li Tongfu's voice came from the receiver.
"Brother, you are going to come to Xizhou. A newly opened comprehensive shopping mall here has taken a fancy to our counter and said it wants to customize 600 sets. I don't dare to make the decision. Please come and communicate with their person in charge."
"So much? Brother, how do you pay? We don't have the money to advance."
"Let's discuss this when you come. They have a very urgent time requirement. They will have a trial opening on December 8th and a formal opening on New Year's Day. Therefore, we are required to have all the counters in place before December 8th."
"Okay, if Brother Qin or Zhang Feng is not busy, ask them to drive over to pick me up and take the goods that have been shipped in the past two days."
"Well, arrangements have been made for Zhang Feng. He is already on the way now. You can bring us some food from our canteen. We are tired of eating in the surrounding restaurants, and we really miss the food in the canteen."
"Okay brother, I'll hang up the phone and go make arrangements for the master."
"See you."
Yang Liufang put down the phone and arranged for the master chef to cook five more meals for five people during lunch and bring them to the people from the supply and marketing cooperative. Zhang Feng would eat here at noon. After hearing this, the master chef went to the kitchen to get busy. Yang Liufang murmured in his heart that such a big deal came at this time, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. I am happy that the products I designed are popular, but I am worried that there are such a large number of counters and I don't know whether to advance money. At this moment, the money he brought back from home, plus the cost of selling goods for this period, is less than 20,000. Forget about it for now, let’s go take a look in the afternoon.
Zhang Feng arrived near noon. Because he often delivered furniture and food, he was already very familiar with everyone. In addition, he recently moved to the Huanghe Labor Market behind the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to wait for work, and most of the time he bought building materials from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, so he had long regarded himself as a member of the factory and the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. While eating, Yang Liufang asked him if he knew about the counter reservation in the mall.
"I know, it's Xiguan Cross Underground Shopping Mall. This is also our first underground comprehensive shopping mall in Xizhou City. I heard that it is directly affiliated to a state-owned enterprise. Boss Yang, this is a good business. We provide all the building materials for their decoration. We and I The chief went to deliver them, two cars every night, for half a month."
"How about the settlement?"
"I don't know about this. Boss Li talked about it for them."
"Oh, I got it. After dinner, let the workers install the new furniture with you. Then we can go and have a chat together."
After dinner, Zhang Feng directed the porters in the factory to load the furniture. Yang Liufang worked with the master chef in the back kitchen to pack the meals. After the meals were packed, they were wrapped in plastic sheets to make them airtight and wrapped in military coats to prevent them from getting cold.
The two drove the goods and hurriedly arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative at 1:30 pm. After arriving, Yang Liufang opened the meal wrapped in a military coat, and it was indeed hot.
"Don't unload the goods yet, everyone comes to eat first."
"Wow, the food in your cafeteria is so rich." Yanhua sighed.
"Oh, I finally have hot food."
"Yes, every winter, unless I go to the store to eat or buy soup, otherwise the food will be cold when I buy it." Wang Shan complained.
"If it doesn't work in a while, you can light a stove. Sister-in-law Yanhua, if it doesn't work, let's see if we can apply to the higher authorities to install a heater in our place."
"Well, I'll take some time this afternoon to go to the leadership office and ask. They have something to ask us for."
"They begged us?"
"Yes, the supply and marketing cooperative of the new shopping mall that wants the counter owns the majority of the shares. The decoration materials, including the counter this time, were designated by the leaders to supply."
"Ah, then will they pay? Brother."
"Just the price difference?"
"What's the price difference?"
"Most of it covers the venue rental fee, and the difference is transferred to our separate account. The building materials section covers two years of rent. Yanhua, has the difference of 13,000 been transferred? We have to settle the settlement with the supplier as soon as possible."
"He said he would arrive today. I will go to the accountant after dinner to ask."
"Brother, we won't do this at the counter, right?"
"I don't know. Let's discuss what to do? What do you think?"
"Of course I want to pay us for the goods, or pay part of it. After all, we are still tight on money now."
"Brother, based on the production cost, how much do you estimate our counter will cost per section?"
"No matter what, it's 150 per section."
"Then 600 knots is 90,000. Brother, I have an idea. Aren't we still in the implementation stage of the consumption control notice? It is also difficult to transfer money out of the account. Why not just take this opportunity to transfer the money from the supply and marketing cooperative All our payment will be transferred to the account of the furniture factory. So we don’t want the company to pay for the goods at the moment. If the leader wants to pay the rent, we agree to it for one year. We will advance the payment in advance and the balance will be paid upon delivery. What do you think? ?”
"Well, brother, that's okay. It's a good idea. It's better to rest assured that the money will be deposited in our factory's own account. Just do it."
"Okay, let Yanhua and Zhang Feng accompany you to talk this afternoon. That's the purpose. Our biggest concession is to cover one year's rent."
After dinner, Zhang Feng drove, Yang Liufang and Yanhua followed the jeep of the president of Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative to Xizhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative. The General Supply and Marketing Cooperative is located in a three-story building in Chengguan District. Yang Liufang came here for the first time. He felt that this place was not like a place to sell things, but more like an office building. The first and second floors are the sales venues of the supply and marketing cooperative, and there are not many people there. It feels like there are more salespeople than people buying things. The third floor is where the leaders work, with offices lined up one after another, and a conference room at the end of the corridor.
Led by the president of Chengbei Club, they went straight to the conference room at the end of the corridor.
"You guys sit down first, I'll go ask the leader. Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang, make tea for the customer."
"How about it? Our leaders are arrogant, right? Because Chengbei is currently the most profitable supply and marketing cooperative in Xizhou. So we have the right to speak."
"awesome."
After a while, the head office leaders and accountants, led by the president of Chengbei Club, walked into the conference room and sat across from Yang Liufang and the others. Yang Liufang saw that these people were all wearing Chinese tunic suits. Looking at himself, he saw that they were all wearing work clothes. The level could be distinguished from the clothes.
"President Gong, this is Wang Yanhua, a staff member of the hardware sales department of our Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative. She is also the largest contractor in our sales department. This is the supplier of their furniture hall. They made those counters you like."
"Oh, hello, young people. Your counter is good and the venue is well run."
"Hello, leader. Thanks for the encouragement." Yang Liufang and the others stood up quickly to say hello to the leader.
"Sit down, sit down. I invite you here to ask for your help this time. Do you understand the counter purchases at the Xiguan Cross Underground Shopping Mall?" The leader spoke very kindly and politely, without any airs.
"I have a general understanding. Leader, I would like to trouble you to ask the relevant personnel to introduce it again."
"Liu She, please introduce me. After all, you will be in charge of this mall in the future."
"Dear leaders and friends from suppliers, hello everyone, let me briefly introduce the situation of this underground shopping mall. This is our first underground comprehensive shopping mall in Xiguan and even Xizhou, with an area of more than 5,000 square meters, with a total of two floors, and the first floor is 2,500 square meters. , the layout of the shopping mall refers to the planning lines of large shopping malls in Beijing and Shanghai. The layout of the business formats in the venue is also guided by designers there, including cosmetics, electronic products, boutique bags, shoes and socks, etc. The second floor is rented to some individuals The operators operate independently and have signed contracts with beauty salons, clothing, audio-visual products, etc. The counters we purchased this time are mainly used on the first floor, because all regional divisions are separated by these 600 counters."
Yang Liufang was confused as his leader talked about new business terms such as "moving lines" and "business formats". He looked at Yanhua who was listening carefully and taking notes. Zhang Feng maintained his military posture and sat upright.
"Boss, let me interrupt, do we have any requirements for the counter? Size, style, function?"
"Yanhua, what are the specifications of the counters used in your sales department?"
"600*1200, our business planning and circulation were done by Boss Yang for us. So the counter design was also designed by himself." When Yang Liufang heard this, wasn't Yanhua just talking nonsense? He didn't understand the business and dynamics at all, but since she said it, Yang Liufang should have done it, but he didn't know it.
"The specifications are appropriate. Your counter has too many display functions. I have seen counters in shopping malls in Shanghai and Beijing that only have two layers of glass windows without frames. There are wooden cabinets underneath for storage."
"Leader, I've seen the kind of counter you mentioned. Our factory can process it without any problem. The glass showcases don't need aluminum alloy structures. They are all made of 5 thick tempered glass and are bonded with transparent glass glue." Yang Liufang thought of his work in "Shanghai" "Furniture" magazine has seen display cabinets in Shanghai shopping malls, but they also have lights inside. Then he said again: "Boss, the cabinet I saw also has a light. It's just that I'll see how to put the light cord out."
"Yes, it's the kind of situation you mentioned, especially the jewelry and cosmetics counters. This is modern and high-end."
"Since there is no problem in making the cabinet, let's talk about the price?"
"Leader, I would like to ask, how much money does our club plan to spend on purchasing these counters?"
"Here, President Gong, please give me your instructions. Is it convenient for you to tell me?"
"Since Xiao Wang is also from our supply and marketing cooperative and is an insider, let's talk about it."
"We have inquired with Shanghai, and the company plans to use 80,000 yuan for this purchase."
