People in the mining area can't help but be jealous.
Li Wenjun is more powerful than the previous bandits. Bandits would jump out and block the road to collect money. Li Wenjun had countless people climb up poles to give him money every day.
As soon as the national artery was opened to traffic, Tao Luyao and Kong Yuzhen's "Zhenrun Department Store" opened with great fanfare in the provincial capital. It was located next to the provincial department store and covered an area of more than 5,000 square meters. In fact, it was the former department store next to it. The warehouse and garage have been renovated and renovated.
The largest newspaper in the provincial capital carried a huge photo report on the front page, with the title: "The first high-end department store in the country."
Sure enough, as Li Wenjun expected, in addition to home appliances and furniture department stores, the main focus is fresh food from all over the country.
There are live shrimps, chilled fish, fresh lychees from Suicheng, and the latest summer skirts from the city's clothing factory.
There are many things that everyone has never seen before.
There are no limited quantities of goods, and no commercial coupons are required. You can buy them if you have money.
The interior is very high-end and has air conditioning.
On the first day it opened, there were huge crowds of people.
Department stores have to restrict the flow of people, stipulating that a customer can only stay in for half an hour and then must come out, so that new customers can enter. If they still want to shop, they have to queue again.
Tao Guangming didn't expect it to be so popular, so he said to Li Wenjun: "Didn't you say the time is not ripe? I think it is quite mature. There are so many customers."
Li Wenjun laughed: "Now everyone is just trying to be new, but in fact there is no money to be made. They are losing money and making a fuss."
Tao Guangming frowned: "No way. There are so many people, and each person buys a little, and they are all sold out."
Li Wenjun said: "Because the transportation cost is too high, if you want to make money, you can only raise the price. You said, if a shrimp costs 50 cents, will you buy it?"
Tao Guangming immediately said: "Oh, what kind of shrimp? It costs fifty cents each. Who can afford it?!"
Li Wenjun nodded: "That's right. So more people are watching and fewer are buying. If you want the price to be acceptable to everyone, you can only sell at a loss. The more you sell, the more you lose. How long can this last? Whose money is it? They are not brought by strong winds. But if no one buys them, the fresh food will be lost a lot because more people will die. Then the price can only be raised, and fewer people will buy it, creating a vicious circle."
Tao Guangming touched his chin: "According to what you say, this business is impossible."
Li Wenjun said: "So they have to find ways to lower the prices of other products. For example, mine. The purchase cost of a washing machine is reduced by 100 yuan, which is enough to support the seafood business. Otherwise, why would they want to be my exclusive business? , and forced me to sign an agreement to sell only to them. Now I won’t give up the profits, so they can only stick to it themselves.”
Tao Guangming scratched his head: He couldn't take pleasure in this matter. After all, Tao Luyao is his father. If Tao Luyao loses money, then he loses money.
Maybe, after Tao Luyao has lost all his money, he will come to him again and ask him and Tao Guanghui to supplement it.
Neither of them could say no.
Kong Yuzhen is even more so. Now he and Tao Guanghui are the same family. Kong Yuzhen's compensation is Tao Guanghui's compensation.
He suddenly understood the reason why Kong Yuzhen wanted to marry Tao Guanghui. Didn't this lock both Tao Guanghui and him to death?
And if Tao Guangming couldn't handle it himself, he would definitely ask for help from Li Wenjun.
It was impossible for Li Wenjun to stay out of the incident.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he cursed: "Damn it, you really tricked me to death. I even got stabbed while I was lying down."
He wanted to ask Li Wenjun if he had any way to crack it, but Li Wenjun just said that the time was not right now...
Even if he forces Li Wenjun again, Li Wenjun will probably answer with this sentence, which is useless.
We can only take one step at a time.
Tao Guangming changed the subject, scratched his head and said, "That summer care class you created is really...
As soon as the summer vacation started, Li Wenjun set up a summer care class and paid teachers from the school to take care of the children of factory and mining workers.
If the children do not have meals at school, they will be charged ten cents a day. They will go to school at the same school time as usual. A teacher will watch them do their homework. In the meantime, there will be teachers who will do exercises and teach them painting, singing, dancing and so on.
Parents can't help but send their children here because they are basically both working. Some working parents in the county also send their children here in the morning and pick them up at night. Li Wenjun took care of the meal at noon for only 20 cents a day. Dance and art training courses are extra.
The teachers are also very happy. They already have a salary from the school during the summer vacation, and now they can get an extra salary by working for Li Wenjun.
The principal was also happy. Li Wenjun paid for renting their classrooms and playground, and also paid the administrators a salary, which can be regarded as increasing the school's income.
There were not enough teachers in the children's school, so Li Wenjun hired well-known teachers from middle schools and primary schools in the county.
Tao Guangming was just a little annoyed. I thought Ji Rushi could take a break during the summer vacation, but she went to school again to take care of the children in care. However, the dance class in the evening was cancelled, because some children could not persist and did not come. Then she transferred the remaining children who could persist to the afternoon.
Moreover, Li Wenjun only gave orders, but Gu Zhanyan and Ji Rushi actually did the actual operations, such as collecting money, managing teachers, etc.
The two people went from managing a dozen people to managing more than a hundred people. They were a little busy at first.
It took more than a month to gradually feel more comfortable.
So Ji Rushi was busier than normal class time.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Li Wenjun said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Apart from borrowing money and helping Leader Tao clean up the mess, anything else is fine."
Tao Guangming narrowed his eyes: "I want to say that you are not obsessed with money. You have to earn even the little bit of money for child care."
Li Wenjun laughed: "So, I always advise you to take a long-term view. Am I doing this to make money for these children? I am training now."
Tao Guangming looked confused: "Huh?!"
Li Wenjun said: "I said that Gu Zhanyan is going to be the principal of the children's school. The children's school will be a provincial key middle school and primary school in the future. If we don't find opportunities to train her now, how will she be able to shoulder this responsibility in the future. Comrade Ji Rushi is the same , she is the director of my education group, and may even be the president in the future. My education group will be spread all over the country, with hundreds of branches. If we don’t train her in management now, when will we train her?"
Tao Guangming pursed his lips: "I can't tell you anything anyway, so just say so."
Li Wenjun added: "Also, in the future, the children's school will be acquired by me and become my industry. From now on, I will make these teachers realize that it is better to work with me than to work in the mining area."
Tao Guangming fell silent and cursed for a long time: "Damn it, I should let her continue to be in the art troupe. At least she still has a few days at home a month."
Li Wenjun smiled: "Isn't she coming back every day?"
Tao Guangming said sadly: "I'm back, but I just don't have time to accompany me. I'm so busy."
Now the two aunts have followed them to live in a big villa. Li Wenjun and the others are okay, as Li Changming and the others are watching.
Tao Guangming and his wife basically go out in the morning and come back at night. May was at home during the summer vacation, and my aunt was bored, so she just took May to play with Tiaotiao and Zaozhen.
Sometimes when Tao Guangming goes back, his aunt hasn't come back yet, and the house is cold.
Originally they were all people with wives and children, but in the end they were still like they were when they were children...
Thinking about it makes me feel very uncomfortable.
-------
Sure enough, as Li Wenjun expected, there were many people looking at the "Zhenrun" department store and few people buying things. Within a few days, everyone lost the sense of freshness that they had at the beginning and stopped even shopping. The flow of people has been greatly reduced. Even if there are people going, they are just old people who have nothing to do to use the air conditioner.
