After hearing this, Yang Liufang felt quite regretful and wanted to ask Mr. Wang to help him make an appointment to apologize in person for his recklessness. But after waiting for two days, he was rejected and asked Mr. Wang to send a message asking Xiao Yang to work hard without any burden and continue to make his own contribution to the economic development of Xizhou. After hearing this, Yang Liufang felt relieved. Maybe he was too small-minded. The big leader of this family is really a prime minister who can hold a boat, and he is not as knowledgeable as a small person like him.
With the help of the Design Institute and the Construction Committee, the construction of their living area dormitory building just entered October. This dormitory building is different from the original complex building. It is purely for residential use. It is designed with two bedrooms and one living room, three bedrooms and one living room, and an independent one-bedroom for single young workers. Different from the tube-shaped building model of the old-fashioned building, Yangliu Fang asked the design institute to design it according to the most popular house type at the time. The building has six floors. For the convenience of water collection, a basement was built and a secondary pumping station was designed. At the same time, under the supervision of Master, Li Tongfu, and his parents, the three-story villa in Yang Liufang's hometown has also been capped and has entered the interior decoration stage. Yang Liufang and other villagers who went out to make a living in the village worked together to donate to the elderly activity center and the village's sewer reconstruction project. After the typhoon completely passed, construction began.
National Day was originally on Monday, but on the day when the whole country is celebrating, Xizhou City also actively responded to the national call and declared a day off. On this day, the Xizhou Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative Home Appliances World opened. Early in the morning, the original merchants in other stores had a skyrocketing rent increase of more than ten times due to Yang Liufang's auction. Business has improved again, and they are all full. Jin planned to sell more goods today while they were open for business, so he collectively invited three Ansai waist drum troupes to express his gratitude. Unable to refuse the warm hospitality, the Qin Jiajun sent three trucks from the group, pulling the invited waist drum team, and started performing Ansai waist drum in various prosperous places in Xizhou City. This ancient performance method made the whole city excited, and it also attracted a large number of Xizhou citizens to watch in the morning when there were no better TV programs.
At nine o'clock in the morning, amid bursts of firecrackers and the cheerful cheers of three waist drum teams, the opening ceremony of the Xizhou Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative Household Appliances World was held grandly. Surrounded by Xizhou Aluminum Factory, Xizhou Plastics Factory, several hotels, and several large pots of flowers sent by Li Tongfu in the name of the group company, two leaders, President Li of General Supply and Marketing Cooperative and director of Xizhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission, spoke successively. After the speech, they walked behind the red silk held up by several female employees of the supply and marketing cooperative. Together with the Commerce Bureau, the president of Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and the group leader Yang Liufang, who had already taken their positions, they picked up the prepared items from the tray. The scissors were tied with red silk. Witnessed by TV stations and various media, as well as citizens who came to watch the fun and buy things, everyone cut the silk in the middle of the red flower, then put the scissors back, applauded, and moved away. A passage lined up to welcome the onlookers who came to purchase to enter the store. Then Yang Liu just guided the leaders from the front to visit the venue.
The store is already buzzing with the sounds of pop songs, hawking, and bargaining. Yang Liufang led the leaders on a tour and saw that in addition to small household appliances such as Walkmans, radios, desk lamps, small fans, electronic clocks, LCD phones, etc., which required stall owners to help pick up goods at the counter, there were also various domestic and imported products. Branded televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, dual-card tape recorders, oscillating fans with bases, microwave ovens, rice cookers, etc. are open for customers to choose from, just like the furniture hall. The citizens who came in saw this method of selling goods for the first time, and they all reviewed the various products. Lao Zhou's audio and video product store is still the most crowded. He uses a pair of speakers to play the most popular songs. He is a smooth person. Before he opened the business, he had already bought two large TVs from Lao Chen's house, a VCD and a video recorder from the store where Yang Liufang stayed. Now he puts them in the store to use Test playback of discs and videotapes to customers. It perfectly sets off the atmosphere of your entire store. People who were queuing up to pay arrived at the aisle of the store.
Lao Chen's 300-square-meter store is also crowded with people. They mainly sell Panasonic color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines. They not only retail, but also sell assembled TVs, VCDs, and stereos, euphemistically called "home theaters." They hired two beauties who could sing and dance from nowhere to help them advertise to the crowd, claiming that as long as they bought a set of combined equipment home, they could not only watch movies and TV series without any advertisements, but also Sing like they do, which is called "karaoke" in the South. I saw that when the crowd of onlookers was large or small, they would dance or sing a song from time to time, and the store would be very lively for a while. Just when Yang Liufang was passing by with the leaders, a set had already been shipped. Lao Chen's son in front of the counter was shyly collecting money. Seeing Yang Liufang and the leaders arriving, Lao Chen, who was introducing to customers, grinned hurriedly. Come out with a smile and say hello.
"Boss, how do you feel about this business model and business atmosphere?" The leader asked kindly, not knowing that Lao Chen was also a store manager.
"Leader, of course. We are currently the most comprehensive and latest furniture and home appliances store in the north of the city and even in the entire Xizhou. Citizens who have bought a new house or built a new house and want to decorate come to us for everything from building materials to decoration and construction to home appliances. and lamps, one-stop shopping. If you don’t understand, there will be a dedicated person to design and explain it.” Lao Chen is worthy of being an old market person who has been immersed in the market for many years. What he said was professional and organized, and he also stood in the forefront of the entire market. angle. He talked eloquently in front of the media and leaders. The Xizhou news that night specifically broadcast this scene and this paragraph. For this, Yang Liufang was "blackmailed" by Wangtai for 20,000 yuan because he was suspected of advertising. It was said that it was collected by the marketing department of the TV station. No one wanted to advertise, so we could only get some luck from a big company like them. Yang Liufang joked with him: "You Huang Shiren!" However, it was a joke, so he obediently let Yanhua give the money to the TV station.
Yang Liufang's own shop is also selling well. Color TVs are popular nowadays but very expensive because they are all imported. However, black and white TVs have entered thousands of households. In order to watch Hong Kong martial arts movies, there are also some mainland movies such as "Desire". With this kind of exciting TV series, it has become fashionable for people with good financial conditions to spend two to three thousand yuan to buy a DVD player. With a DVD player, you can watch as many TV series as you want at home on Sundays, and you can get rid of lengthy advertisements. So there are a lot of customers buying, and of course there are video parlors all over the streets. When they buy equipment, they usually also buy a video recorder.
At noon, Yang Liufang had dinner with all the leaders, and after seeing everyone off, he went back to Li Tongfu's office. Li Wei had come over to tell him that the inventory had been sold out, and not all of it had been bought by customers. In the end, most of it had been bought by several merchants in the store. The guy on the stage left. Wang Shan asked the merchants to give each unit a hundred yuan at a discount and let them sell it at the same price as himself. In this way, the merchants would make a hundred yuan in vain. Of course he was willing. Besides, people who can spend about 100,000 yuan to rent a shop can still afford a few VCDs, and these are imported goods that are in high demand. Stores that have not yet received the goods can simply pay a deposit first and wait for them to pick up the goods as soon as they arrive.
Yang Liufang called Wang Shan and asked him to ask Yanhua for money to arrange for someone to go to Guangzhou to restock the goods. After the tannery lathe incident, although Yang Liufang discovered the procurement problem and did not delve into it, the task of inspecting the goods was still handed over to the technical department Li Wei.
When it was almost time to get off work, he asked Yanhua to call Lao Chen. Soon Lao Chen came in happily, and Yang Liufang asked them how their overall situation was today. Lao Chen only cares about his own business. As a store manager, he is a little embarrassed that he did not provide good service to the merchants. It was Yanhua who saved him.
"Mr. Yang, everyone is selling like crazy today. How can we care about anything else? Mr. Chen was worried about the layout of the store in the early stage, and the results are good today. Both the movement and the sales form are very creative."
"How is the turnover of each store?"
"Mr. Yang, I just took the time to ask several companies, and they are all good. My own house sold for more than 3 million. You may think that the price of 3 to 5 yuan from Lao Zhou is not impressive, but he has saved it in the bank for a small profit but a big profit." It’s 3.5 million, and I see the safe is full of the rest. It’s estimated to be in the millions. There are also people selling small household appliances who have made hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands today.”
"Our own store, including the hardware store, has about 7 million or less than 8 million in revenue. I haven't made detailed statistics yet."
"Well, Mr. Yanhua and Mr. Chen, thank you for your trouble."
"Mr. Yang, there is one more thing. Everyone asked us if we can issue invoices on behalf of you, because it is very troublesome to apply for a license for a store. Besides, the space we rent is for one year. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau saw that it was a temporary address. They won’t do it either. They won’t issue invoices. If the products are bulky like ours, there will be no warranty in the future. There are also products purchased by the unit. People won’t buy them if there is no invoice.”
"I think this is okay, Mr. Chen, you must keep an eye on everyone's goods and ensure the quality. Once there is a problem with the goods, it will affect our entire supply and marketing cooperative. The lessons from the explosion in the steel plant must be learned. , it’s not over yet.”
"Why isn't it over yet? Isn't it clear that the investigation is clear and we have finished sending out advertising information? It's not over yet?" Yanhua was anxious.
"Well, it looks like it's over on the surface, but I met the director of the steel plant at the Wolongshan Hotel a few days ago. He was demoted due to this. He is now the deputy mayor in charge of industry in Xizhou City. I have a friend Let’s be careful about what we do and don’t let anyone take advantage of us.”
"Mr. Yang, if we ask merchants who need to issue invoices to pay three times the deposit in advance, they will be refunded if there are no problems within the warranty period."
"Oh, Mr. Chen, you are trying too hard! In this way, no one will dare to sell fake goods even if we don't tighten supervision. Just like this, no matter which merchant issues an invoice or not, they must prepay a deposit of 10,000 for genuine goods. If not, If you sell counterfeit goods, you will be refunded in one year. The supply and marketing cooperative that sells counterfeit goods will directly use the money to compensate. If the compensation is not enough, the store will deduct a fine. If you need to issue an invoice, you must pay a deposit of three times the face value of the invoice. If you sell counterfeit goods, you will directly use the deposit to compensate."
