In this era, small and medium-sized stores across the country were called supply and marketing cooperatives.
Large stores across the country are called department stores.
But there are very few exceptions, such as friendship stores and overseas Chinese stores.
There is the famous Qiulin Shopping Mall in this province.
Qiulin is the surname of a Russian. The chain of shopping malls he opened are all called Qiulin. They opened here in 1900 and it was the first department store in China.
It has been preserved since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later it was changed to a public-private partnership, and now it is fully public.
The leading big brother must be a little arrogant.
Or Wannianlaoer Department Store is more suitable for her now.
Not knowing how to get there, and there was a mouth under her nose, Cheng Hui asked the salesperson at the newsstand and got the address.
It's just a few hundred meters behind the train station and you can walk there.
Tao Juan supported Cheng Hui and carried a basket of cakes.
Wang Hui was carrying a fuller basket, and Li Yan was carrying a long table and a bag of messy things.
The four people walked for more than ten minutes and saw the department store, with people coming and going at the door.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, the business of major supply and marketing cooperatives and shopping malls has improved. Whether you have money or not, you have to buy some New Year goods to celebrate the New Year.
The three people arrived at the door of the department store with excitement, found a corner and put down the table and basket, and then looked at Cheng Hui.
"Should we start selling it now? How to sell it? Just display it like this? Will anyone buy it?" Tao Juan asked excitedly and anxiously.
Cheng Hui looked up. The weather today was good. The sun was bright and dazzling, but it was dry and cold. She felt that the outdoor temperature was about minus 20 degrees.
I don't feel it when I walk, but I feel freezing after standing for a minute or two.
"Follow me to the department store," she said.
The three of them were suddenly frightened and did not move.
Originally, they were not allowed to sell things privately, but now they are forced to sell things at the door of other people's units. It's scary. If you don't do it secretly, why don't you sell things in other people's houses?
This is not to sell something, but to poke people's eyes, right?
Cheng Hui's face became serious, and the boss was full of energy: "I said what I said, don't let me say it a second time."
My Majesty, you are not trying to reason with your subordinates with sincerity.
Sometimes commands work better.
Sure enough, the three of them didn't dare to have any objections. They picked up their things and followed her into the department store.
Instead of being dissatisfied, they were very happy... Look at the deputy director's momentum! There must be someone in the family who is an official! He has to be a high official! You are right to follow her!
Entering the department store, the room suddenly felt warm and spring-like. They have their own boiler room with heaters all around the walls.
Four people came in with large and small bags, which immediately attracted the attention of several salesmen at the door, but no one said anything.
It looked like he was from a rural area, and it was normal to have big and small bags.
Cheng Hui found a seat out of the way at the gate and said, "You guys wait here, don't set the table yet, I'll go find their manager."
The three people now only nodded and said nothing, and they did not dare to have any objections.
Cheng Hui took out a white coat from Li Yan's bag and put it on.
These are the work clothes of their food factory. They look clean and hygienic, but no one actually wears them.... Cheng Hui asked for Guo Dajun's clothes yesterday.
It was new and clean, and the size was just right for a pregnant woman like her.
Mainly because she wanted to cover up her too rustic cotton jacket and cotton pants!
People rely on clothes, wait until she has money to pretend!
She took out another iron plate, cut five majestic cakes on the spot, put them in it, and inserted a few toothpicks.
Modern people all know that this is a trial product.
But people at this time don’t understand. They buy things by grabbing, scoring, begging, and luck. They have never tried anything.
"You guys should put on your clothes too." Cheng Hui said to several people, then walked away with a plate and a bag of 10 pieces.
She didn't ask any salesperson where your manager was, but went upstairs confidently.
There are only three floors of the department store, with two floors open. You can tell that the manager's office is on the third floor without asking.
When she got to the third floor, no security guard stopped her. She looked from office to office and saw the manager's office in the middle.
The door was open, and sitting inside was a man in his forties, with a well-proportioned figure and a shrewd face, who was writing something with his head down.
Cheng Hui took another look at his figure and had a good impression of him.
She was afraid that she would meet a man with a big belly. In that case, it would be impossible to talk without a drink.
She knocked on the door, and when the man looked up, he suddenly showed a big smile, and said in a clear voice: "Hello, manager, I am an employee of Axian Food Factory, you can just call me Xiaocheng.
"Our food factory has developed a new pastry, and all the leaders have said it is good after tasting it! Now our food factory wants to hold a new product promotion event at your place.
“Only 20 pounds are sold at half price every day, while supplies last, and it is only promoted for 3 days.
"This is our new product, Weifeng Cake, please try it."
Cheng Hui walked in naturally, put the plate opposite him, and sat down on the chair opposite him.
He put the brown paper bag on the table, with the big calligraphy writing facing the manager.
Cui Degui glanced at it and his eyelids jumped.
Retail price: 10 yuan!
Originally he didn't want to eat anything randomly, but for 10 yuan...
"This bag costs 10 yuan? Or is it a pound?" he asked in surprise.
"Manager, you guessed it right. This bag costs 10 yuan. There are 10 of them in it. Each one costs 1 yuan. Now it is sold at half price, 50 cents each.
“When the senior leaders tasted our Weifeng cake, they all said it was the best cake in the world. Selling it for a few cents a pound is a bit of an insult, and the cost is simply not enough.
"Try it quickly. Is this taste worthy of being the best cake in the world?" Cheng Hui smiled and pushed the plate in front of him.
A light and sweet smell wafted over. It actually smelled better than Caozi cake, and it was yellow in color and looked good.
Cui Degui picked up one and asked casually: "Has the senior leader tasted it? Which senior leader?"
Cheng Hui looked at him, showed a bright smile, but answered the question with a mouthful of Beijing movies: "I just came from the capital last year to learn about the youth, and I provided the recipe for this cake."
So this big leader is much bigger than you think~
Cui Degui's eyelids twitched again, but he was not that easy to fool. He glanced at Cheng Hui's pregnant belly.
Even if the daughter of a really powerful leader's family goes to the countryside, she will not get married and get pregnant in the countryside!
There is no need to explain this problem to him now.
Cheng Hui smiled and said: "Because this is the first time to promote, we only put out 10 kilograms today to test the water. The department store is close to the train station, so you are our first stop.
"If you find it inconvenient, let's go to Qiulin Shopping Mall."
Cui Degui had already put the cake in his mouth and chewed it.
This tastes really good! It was very similar to the birthday cakes he had eaten abroad. I didn't expect that someone would make it here and it could be produced in large quantities.
"It's troublesome for you to toss your body back and forth. Just promote it here." Cui Degui said.
