Crossing the road and heading west along Terminal Road, Sun Jian planned to buy a storefront for Qiming Bookstore on this street and open a second branch when conditions are ripe. In addition to Chinese Medical University on Terminal Road, there are also There are Jiangcheng Geological College Hankou Campus (Jiangcheng Geological Management Cadre College), the High School Affiliated to Huayi University and Jiangcheng No. 12 Middle School. There are many college students and middle school students, plus teachers and family members, and the cultural atmosphere is strong. This is a golden area for opening a bookstore.
Jiangchang Qiming Bookstore is located in the Sidongkou area, Jiangyang store is located in the Zhoujiacun area, and there is a Qiming Bookstore in the three towns of Jiangcheng.
Almost all the regular storefronts on the south side of Hangzhan Road are those of Hua Medical University and Jiangcheng Institute of Geology. In this era, state-owned assets and land are not allowed to be sold casually, but renting or contracting storefronts is allowed.
Most of the facades in the north are low and were built privately by residents of the Electric Industry Village, Youth Community and Terminal Community, and many of them lack business licenses.
The electric villages with three-story red buildings are the employee dormitories of Jiangcheng Power Supply Bureau. The youth community and the terminal community are also one- and two-story residential areas. They are unplanned and disorganized, just like the residential areas on Xiashan Road. , public toilet.
The idea was good, but the reality was cruel. Sun Jian walked all the way to Success Avenue, which was under construction, and then returned to the school gate. He walked nearly five kilometers and found nothing.
Through Li Tao, a reward of fifty yuan has been issued among the employees of Jiangkou Store and Jiangchang Store. More than two months have passed, and there is still no news.
The fifty yuan bonus is equivalent to one month's salary of an average employee. It does not mean that the employees do not work hard.
The opportunity to sell your storefront is rare!
It was luck that Sun Jian found Jiangkou Taobao Electrical Appliance Store and Jiangchang Store.
It all depends on human effort!
At noon the next day, Sun Jian went out from the east gate, walked west along Hangzhan Road, turned left onto Baofeng 2nd Road, entered Jianguo Avenue, turned east, made a big circle, and returned to school from Hangzhan Road. Returned empty handed.
At noon on the third day, I headed west from Hangzhan Road, turned right into Miaocai Road, followed Chenggong Avenue, which was under construction, and returned to school along Qingfeng Road. I still found nothing. Sun Jian didn’t panic. Qiming Bookstore was just on track. , Chen Xuemei still has a lot of things to do, including finding employees who are not responsible for the facade.
In this era, there was no housing rental market, and there were no housing agencies. Buying and selling houses could only rely on luck.

Sun Jian's plan to buy a storefront for Qiming Bookstore in the Hangzhan Road area did not come to fruition. However, Qiming Bookstore published an advertisement in the weekend edition of Jiangcheng Evening News: "Buy low-priced books, go to Qiming Bookstore", offering 10% off various TV university and self-study textbooks, best-selling and A 20% discount on teaching aids was provided to benefit customers, and the "Sun's Fountain Pen Copybook" was also advertised.
Advertisements for "Sun's Fountain Pen Copybook" also appeared in "Story Club" and "Monthly", and the wholesale and retail sales of "Sun's Fountain Pen Copybook" distributed by Xinhua Bookstores in various places increased significantly.
There is an endless stream of wholesale and retail customers going to Qiming Bookstore every day, and it is crowded.
Salesperson Lu Huimin was left in the store by Chen Xuemei. She answered the phone every day and recorded information on people who wanted to buy TV University self-study textbooks, teaching aids, best sellers and "Sun's Fountain Pen Copybook" from all over the country; Chen Xuemei and Wan Fuquan received door-to-door book buyers; Yang Huiqin He took the remittance slip to the post office to withdraw money, and then went to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Gangcheng Branch to deposit money and check customer transfer information.
Ye Linjun took Bai Minxing, Zhou Liping and Wang Zhigang to the Gangcheng post office with various books, mailing textbooks, teaching aids, best sellers and "Sun's Fountain Pen Copybook" to customers across the country, and delivering goods to small bookstores and bookstalls in Jiangcheng. Come to your door.
Chen Xuemei led seven employees to purchase and ship goods. They were busy and happy, and sighed inwardly at Boss Sun's superb low-price management methods.
Sun Jian attends classes every day, does team training on Thursday afternoon, and returns to Jiangkou store on Saturday afternoon to sit for half an hour to learn about the sales of color TVs in Jiangkou store and Jiangchang store manager H? On Sunday morning, I went to Qiming Bookstore to check the sales of newspapers, periodicals, books and copybooks, and in the afternoon I went to Jiangchang Store for a walk.
Under the influence of the TV advertisement "Taobao Electrical Appliances, Low Price Every Day", 745 sets of the 19th batch of color TVs were sold within half a month, with sales revenue reaching more than 1,184,000 yuan. With a payment of more than 983,000 yuan and preferential promotions of more than 51,000 yuan, plus corporate income tax of more than 21,000 yuan, the company made a profit of more than 120,000 yuan.
As soon as the twentieth batch of color TVs (1,000 units) arrived on the afternoon of Saturday (October 19), Liu Fang was ordered to transfer the remaining balance of 825,000 yuan to Chang H Electrical Appliance Factory in Hubei Province. on the sales company's account.
Taobao Electric Co., Ltd. has only more than 97,000 yuan of working capital left in its account, and there are still 1,330 Chang H color TVs in the three warehouses of Jiangkou Store and Jiangchang Store.
After two weeks of indiscriminate bombardment of TV commercials with the slogan "Taobao Electrical Appliances, Low Prices Everyday", Jiangcheng citizens have become familiar with it and have switched to normal advertising mode.
The Jiangkou and Jiangchang stores can sell more than 130 units on Sundays, and about 60 units on normal days.
Under the influence of the advertisement "To buy low-price books, go to Qiming Bookstore", Qiming Bookstore operates both wholesale and retail operations. It can sell various books, newspapers and magazines for more than 370 yuan a day, plus wholesale and sales of "Sun's Fountain Pen Copybook" At more than one hundred and sixty yuan, one day's sales reached about five hundred and thirty yuan, and one day's gross profit reached more than one hundred and fifty yuan.
Every day at noon, Sun Jian walked around the Hangkong Road area over and over again, figuring out the names and business varieties of the 231 stores on both sides of the street, but still found nothing.
Time passed quickly, and it was October 25th.

On Friday, the Autumn Sports Meeting of Hua Medical University was held.
At noon five months ago, Sun Jian was reborn!
It is also the three-month anniversary of the opening of Taobao Electric Company. Today is also the day when employees of Taobao Electric Company and Qiming Bookstore are paid!
The employees of Taobao Electrical Appliance Company thought that Boss Sun commemorated the opening of the company on this day, so they designated this day as the day to pay wages!
At this time, the university has not yet expanded its enrollment. There are less than 1,500 students at Hua Medical University, more than 500 have entered the clinical internship stage, and less than 1,000 freshmen, sophomores and juniors are participating in the autumn sports meeting. , divided into Group A and Group B for men and women.
The faculty and staff of Hua Medical University also participated in the sports meeting, which lasted for one and a half days, with Saturday afternoon off.
Freshmen in grade 85 are divided into Group B, a six-year German medical class, three five-year medical undergraduate classes, a five-year preventive medicine class, a four-year pharmacy class and a three-year health management major. There are seven classes in total.
From the perspective of a reborn person, except for the distance of the 400-meter track that meets the standard, the playground of Hua Medical University is extremely crude. The track is paved with cinders. Teachers from the school's physical education department and students from the student union's culture and sports department used lime to make temporary work yesterday afternoon. Drawn runway.
