Chapter 969: Inspection
Shanghai.
There are countless transparent rain threads between heaven and earth, and colorful umbrellas on the streets are like colorful mushrooms emerging from the rain and meandering along the streets.
The rainy season in Jiangnan has arrived, the sun has not appeared for a long time, and the air is extremely humid due to the continuous rain, which is obviously unwelcome for merchants who are open to welcome customers.
However, it is always only the boss who is worried, for ordinary employees, sales have little to do with them, and the money they get is almost the same when they sell more and sell less, and the fewer customers, the more leisurely, and they can be lazy in a grand manner.
There are also many people who like to rain, such as those who have a car, and the rain is equivalent to a free car wash.
In the rain, a limousine quietly stopped on the side of the road.
The driver and bodyguard got out of the cab, stretched out the umbrella, respectfully opened the rear door, and held the umbrella in advance at the position where the occupants were about to come out, despite the fact that his back was wet from the rain.
One shoe was in the thin pool of water, followed by another.
Li Yuanfei got out of the car, buttoned a button on the front of his suit, and looked around.
This is a very ordinary street in Shanghai, located in the transition zone between the commercial center and the residential area, and there are some trendy brand stores nearby, which are not top-notch, but they are famous.
In front of him is a pet store, a direct store of his Starry Pet Supermarket chain, with a delicate dΓ©cor that is not far behind other boutiques in the vicinity, and a brand new sign that has been washed away by the rain.
The white-collar beauties and young girls passing by with umbrellas saw this luxurious stretch car and the high-spirited Li Yuanfei, and they cast hot eyes.
"Boss, will you let me go in with you?" the driver and bodyguard asked in a low voice, holding an umbrella for him and sending him under the eaves in front of the store.
"Not necessarily. Li Yuanfei cherishes words like gold.
The automatic sensor door was about a minute, and he stepped into the store.
The driver silently retreated to the side of the luxury car and waited for him to return.
Compared to the bleak wind and cold rain outside, the temperature and humidity in the room are just right, making people feel relieved as soon as they enter the door.
There is a foot-rubbing mat at the door, and the floor is clean, but this also shows that there are few customers due to the non-stop rain. When he walked by, leaving a trail of shallow shoe prints, no clerk immediately wiped them off β perhaps that was a bit of a luxury.
The layout of the store is simple but not simple, mainly pure white, trying to cater to the Japanese style of frigidity favored by fashionable women in the metropolis, the first half is a pet supplies area, the second half is a pet sales area, and there is a children's play area next to the entrance.
The cashier looked up at him, didn't recognize him, said "Welcome" routinely, and continued to chat in the QQ group of the chain store on the computer, after all, the distance between the most grassroots workers and him is really far away.
At present, there are only two or three customers sitting on the sofa to rest, not so much picking out goods, but more like sheltering from the rain and enjoying the air conditioning.
Li Yuanfei glanced at the goods on the shelves a few times, there was nothing to blame, everything should be there, and walked towards the core pet sales area. Although pet supplies account for the majority of profits, the pets themselves are more important.
The display cases in the pet area are divided into categories to display cats and dogs, as well as some other types of small pets, and the prices are arranged in descending order, and the most beautiful and valuable pets are placed at the front, so that customers can see at first glance.
Li Yuanfei glanced at it and saw that a clerk was crossing Erlang's legs, concentrating on swiping his mobile phone, so he coughed, knocked on the glass of the English short display cabinet with his knuckles, and asked, "Excuse me, what kind of cat is this?"
Of course, he knew what kind of cat this was, and this time it was a whim, and he wanted to raid the style of the directly operated store and the hospitality etiquette of the clerks, without anyone notifying him in advance.
The clerk raised his eyes and looked at it, and soon stared down at the phone again, and spit out two words in his mouth: "Ying short." β
Li Yuanfei frowned imperceptibly, and asked again, "What are the characteristics of this cat?"
An obvious hint of irritation flashed across the clerk's face, as if he was reluctant to be disturbed, so Li Yuanfei guessed that he was probably playing a mobile game.
He walked over lazily, stared at Ying Short and thought for a while, and replied casually: "In simple words, the biggest feature of Ying Short is 'round', with round eyes, round cheeks, round claws, round tail tips, and round torso, and a docile temperament, suitable for general family breeding." β
Li Yuanfei was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect this seemingly lazy clerk to be able to summarize the characteristics of Ying Short so well, and introduce it to customers in the most simple and easy-to-understand words.
"Little brother, you are very professional, are you usually learning some knowledge about pets?" he asked tentatively, and had already made a decision in his heart, if the clerk gave a positive answer, he would say hello to the manager of this store and promote him to assistant to the store manager, after all, the grassroots employees who are willing to learn to charge are too rare to be buried.
"It's okay. The clerk scratched his head, probably seeing that Li Yuanfei was well-dressed, he didn't dare to be too lazy, and replied truthfully: "That's what is written in the book." β
"Oh, what kind of book did you see in the book?" Li Yuanfei asked with interest, "Is it a pet magazine or a reference book about pets bought in a bookstore?"
The clerk shook his head, "It's written on the Internet." β
The unexpected answer made Li Yuanfei stunned: "...... In the network, the characteristics of English short will also be introduced?"
"Don't you believe me? I was still watching...... Well, that's it. The clerk took out his mobile phone from his pocket to unlock it, flipped to a specific chapter, and asked Li Yuanfei to look at the handwriting on the screen.
Li Yuanfei was puzzled, took the phone and looked at it a few times.
The phone screen is full of text, and it seems that it is indeed an Internet, and one of the paragraphs introduces the characteristics of the English short, exactly the same as what the clerk just said.
I see......
Li Yuanfei was a little disappointed, after all, compared with professional reference books, the quality of the Internet is a little cheap. He almost never looks at the Internet, and his impression is that the Internet is full of stories of fighting and killing in other worlds or fighting and picking up girls in the city, and the private bookshelf in his office is full of biographies of domestic and foreign business celebrities and historical celebrities.
He has dismissed the idea of promoting him to assistant to the store manager, but as a pet store clerk, it is more meaningful to read the Internet about pets than to look at yellow, right?
Immediately afterwards, another thought flashed through his mind - it is indeed impossible to expect ambitious grassroots employees to take the initiative to learn and recharge, but what if the quality of grassroots employees is improved in an entertaining way?
For example......
Li Yuanfei glanced at the employee again, and no matter where the employee's knowledge came from, it could indeed improve the shopping experience of customers.
"How's this web written?, is it interesting?" he asked, feigning interest.
He simply flipped through a few pages and found that no matter what the story is, at least the pet knowledge mentioned in it is basically correct, which is rare for the Internet.
"Haha, I think it's quite interesting, I recommend you to watch it too!"
The employee is obviously an Internet fan, and he suddenly came to the spirit, and introduced endlessly: "I'm also an old bookworm, this is the first time I've seen the Internet that describes pets in reality! At first, the website recommended it to me, I refused, but recently there was a shortage of books, and now this is not a part-time job in a pet store, I said in my heart that it's okay to see, see how this author is making things up, and it turns out to be quite like a thing, so I keep reading it, and I chase it every day, but this author is relatively short and weak......"
Li Yuanfei listened with a smile, and said in his heart that you receive the salary of the pet store to recommend the network to customers, is this appropriate?
But he was disappointed just now, and now he didn't expect the quality of the grassroots staff to be high, so he asked casually: "Does that sound good, and I like pets...... What is this book about? Can you give me a brief explanation?"
"No problem!" the employee agreed, "Probably that in a place called Marina City, a man nicknamed 'Duck' downloaded a mobile game that could catch elves by chance, and then caught elves everywhere, and he happened to open a pet shop......"
"What do you say? Say it again!"
The employee was caught off guard by Li Yuanfei's collar, he was completely stunned, the personable man in front of him seemed to be stimulated by something, and his face became hideous and distorted in a blink of an eye, he said in his heart that this person would not be an intermittent mania patient who ran out of a mental hospital, right?
"What are you doing, let go of me!" he was not to be outdone, and wanted to pull Li Yuanfei's hand away from his collar.
"What's going on, why did you kid get into a fight with the customer?"
At this moment, the manager of this store came out of the backstage, at first he only saw Li Yuanfei's back, thinking that it was just an ordinary customer, and when he went around to the front and saw Li Yuanfei's face, he was suddenly frightened.
Li ...... Boss Li, why are you here?" The store manager turned around and pushed the clerk aside, and scolded with hatred: "You kid open your dog's eyes and see clearly! Who is this? This is the big boss of our company!"
The employee shrank in fright, but still unconvinced, he whispered, "What about the boss......?
"How dare you say that?" the store manager was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
"Originally, he took my phone and didn't return it!" The employee stalked his neck, and said in his heart that it was a big deal to resign and go back to his hometown, at least he wanted the phone back first, this is the new Apple mobile phone that he bought after saving his salary for several months.
The store manager pointed in the direction of the door, and was about to tell the clerk that he had been fired, but his hand was pressed by Li Yuanfei.
Li Yuanfei took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, shook his head lightly at the store manager, then walked over and returned the phone to the clerk, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now, I apologize to you, and I'm willing to compensate you for your losses." β
