The mall covers an area of 7,186 square meters, which is almost the size of a standard football field.

There are two floors, that is, the total floor area of the mall is 14,372 square meters.

Although this area is not as large as some giant retailers, it is already a large shopping mall.

However, to Liu Shufang's surprise, the peak of the mall's profitability appeared after the death of Wei Fen's husband and when Wei Fen was in power.

During the lifetime of Wei Fen's husband, the highest monthly average daily traffic of the mall was about 7,000, and the highest monthly net profit was 550,000.

Compared with the giants of the retail department store industry, this data is naturally still a lot worse, after all, the average daily traffic of the store can reach 20,000 people.

But for a shopping mall that was only four years old at the time and the benefits were still rising, it was already very good, and the future was promising.

At first, in the first year that Wei Fen took over, the efficiency of the mall was okay, although the monthly net profit did not increase much, but it could also be maintained at about 500,000 yuan per month.

However, a year after Wei Fen took over, the monthly net profit reached 570,000, directly breaking his husband's record.

At first, when he saw this data, Liu Shufang still didn't understand it, but after looking at the data in the next few months, he understood what was going on after thinking about it for a while.

This woman started to steal the goods on sale at that point, so as to increase the net profit.

To put it bluntly, this woman has started selling fakes, or selling B-grade goods at A-grade prices.

For example, a certain kind of apple, the purchase price is 5 yuan/catty, and the price is 7 yuan/catty.

But Wei Fen will buy apples at a price of 3 yuan per catty and sell them at a price of 7 yuan.

It seems that the price has not changed, but the goods inside are no longer the same, and the net profit has increased a lot.

But can you say that she sells fakes?

No, they do sell apples!

Obviously, these commotion operations are because Wei Fen is not satisfied with the net profit of more than 500,000 per month.

She has several little white faces, and Liu Shufang really doesn't dare to say how much it is for a month's consumption, the flexibility of this thing is too great.

In short, she wants to make more money, but she doesn't have the ability and experience to run a shopping mall, so she is a business novice and has no business reputation at all.

So you have to do things directly from the commodity, as long as the purchase price is lowered, won't you make more money?

What an unpretentious logic!

But consumers will also vote with their feet, and the net profit of 570,000 yuan was only one month, and it fell to 480,000 in the second month.

This is the first time in nearly a year that the mall's net profit has fallen below 500,000.

Then it continued to fall next month......

Wei Fen panicked when he saw this situation, what should he do if he made less and less money?

So the price began to rise, the unit price of customers is high, and the profit of goods is naturally high, which is the logic that primary school students understand.

Not to mention, the net profit in the second month of the price increase really stabilized Wei Fen, at least it was not as obvious as before.

As a result, in the third month, it began to fall again......

Then Wei Fen raised the price again......

To this day, Wei Fensao has been operating for almost nine months, causing the mall's customer traffic to drop by 77.1% and sales to drop by 74.5%.

Net profit fell the least, 65.6%, and until last month, there was a profit of 190,000.

This is because she sells some things that are not cost-effective, which reduces the cost a lot.

On the other hand, it can only be said that the foundation left by her husband is good, which is enough for her to lose.

However, looking at last month's profit of 230,000, it is expected that this month's net profit will be about 150,000, and next month's will be 110,000.

The rhythm of falling 40,000 a month will not be able to sustain it in a few months if it continues like this.

Liu Shufang was speechless, it was obviously a good start, and she was forced to play like this.

Since you don't know how to run the business, then don't meddle in it! Recruit someone who knows how to manage it, and you can just pay people salaries.

She just didn't understand and insisted on interfering.

After a general understanding of the current situation in the mall, Liu Shufang left Wei Fen's house first and took a taxi directly to the mall.

Ten minutes later, Liu Shufang appeared at the entrance of the mall.

I have to say that the location of this shopping mall is very well chosen, although this piece is not very prosperous, but to the west is several residential real estate, these are the main consumer groups of the mall.

To the east, take the bus for four or five stops, and there are three universities including Yuzhou University.

Upstairs in the mall, the third and fourth floors are a movie theater.

Looking diagonally more than 200 meters away, it seems that a new shopping mall is about to open.

Liu Shufang came here for the first time, and he was indeed unfamiliar.

But it's normal to have competitors, such a good location, you yourself are not angry, so who can blame!

However, when I raised my head, the words "Lemei Preferred Shopping Center" on the top of my head looked quite stylish.

It's just that these days, the mall has obviously very little traffic.

Although it was not the peak of the passenger flow at this time, Liu Shu watched at the door for five minutes, and only three people entered, which was too pitiful.

But consider that the mall has two gates, so there should be six customers.

Usually the passenger flow from 6 to 10 o'clock in the evening can account for more than half of the day, so calculated, it is still a lot worse than the peak passenger flow of 7000.

After looking at the door for a while, Liu Shufang walked in.

With five cash registers, customers don't have to queue up at all at this time, which is very relaxing.

Liu Shufang walked around the mall for a while, and saw several shopping guides, all of whom looked listless.

The other two sat there playing with their mobile phones, and Liu Shufang was a little helpless.

The vegetables in it are not fresh, but this little bit of vegetables is actually excusable, and if you want to buy fresh, you won't come at this time.

But even the quality of the fruit is uneven, it is too much, and the fruit is not always divided in the morning and afternoon!

Liu Shufang took ten apples at random, and three of them had obvious problems.

What made Liu Shufang even more speechless was that a certain spicy strip on the shelf he looked at was actually expired, and no one checked it?

"Eh, are you the leader who came to inspect it?

Suddenly, there was the laughter of a rather familiar girl behind him.

Liu Shufang looked back and saw that it was Li Xuanxuan.

Behind her stood the goddess Su Youyi, who was in the minds of many people.

Liu Shufang stood up with a smile: "Such a coincidence." ”

"There is a big shopping mall near our school, of course, it is quite easy to bump into it. Li Xuanxuan said with a smile: "But when the shopping mall opposite opens, I won't come here in the future, this one is more expensive now, and the service and quality are really not good." ”

Liu Shufang laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing. Liu Shufang smiled and nodded: "You are indeed right, this problem is very serious, if you don't make changes, the shopping mall opposite will open, and it will die." ”

"But it's none of our business! hehe...... Let's go shopping first. ”

"Bye-bye. Liu Shu waved his hand.

From beginning to end, Su Youyi was smiling beside her, but she didn't speak.

Liu Shu got up and continued the "inspection" work.

In the meat area, an aunt wanted the master to cut a piece of fresh meat for him, and the master was on the phone, and directly impatiently dropped a sentence: "There is a cut ready-made!"

The aunt glared, muttered dissatisfiedly, turned her head and left.

Liu Shufang silently wrote him down in a small notebook.

At the entrance of the mall, an aunt wanted to return and change her clothes because her husband felt that the color was not good-looking and wanted to change to a white one.

The cashier said that this reason was a bit unacceptable, and it was not a problem with the product, so he did not return it.

Liu Shufang saw it in his eyes, and many shopping malls have regulations on this, unless there is a problem with the quality of the goods themselves, they will not be returned.

But the aunt was not happy and finally asked the cashier to call the manager.

The cashier had no choice but to shout.

Liu Shufang pretended to follow her carelessly, only to see the manager yawning and sleepy-eyed when he came out.

What the fuck are you sleeping here!?

Liu Shufang was speechless for a moment, and silently took out a small notebook.
