Although it is a shoe store, it sells not only shoes, but also branded athleisure clothing.

When customers come to the outside of the store, the first thing they see is the dummy displayed behind the glass windows on both sides of the door, with sportswear hanging on the clothing rack in the middle of the store, and shoes on the display shelves on the walls on both sides.

The cash register is in the innermost corner on the left side of the entrance, and the stairs to the second floor are inside on the right, diagonally opposite the cash register, and some sports equipment such as basketball, badminton, table tennis, etc. are hung on the wall on the right side of the store. Sports brands, how can you do without sports equipment in the store?

The sound of firecrackers and the sound of the stereo attracted some nearby residents and pedestrians, whether they were interested in buying shoes or wanting to see a lively scene, after the opening, seven or eight customers came into the store, Wu Juan and Zhu Mingyue as the official shopping guide in the store, they hurriedly greeted them, Zhu Ma and Tang Yiting were not idle, and stepped forward to pick up a customer and sell it.

Zhu's father still had something to do on the construction site, so he left first, and a few relatives who came to congratulate him, saw that there were customers in the store, so he also thought that he would not be in the way in the store, and said to Zhu's mother, and left one after another.

Zhu Mingli stood behind the cash register, and the first business was completed in a short time!

"Come, Mingli, settle the account for this handsome guy......" Tang Yiting walked over with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and by the way, put a pair of black and white sneakers on the cash register, and then took out the box and put the box up.

Zhu Mingli picked up the label on the shoes, scanned the code, and said to the young man in front of the counter with the calculator, "Dude, your shoes, the original price is 129 yuan, we have a new store opening today, and the whole site is 20% off!" Zhu Mingli said while pressing the calculator, "After the discount, it is 103.2 yuan, and you are the first customer to make a deal after we opened, I will also wipe the three yuan for you, you can give 100 yuan!"

While calculating, Zhu Mingli was also thinking in his heart, sure enough, this brand-name shoes has a greater profit margin, let's just say this pair of shoes, don't look at the discount and erase, and the net profit is still as high as thirty or forty yuan in the end!

Even if you throw away the labor cost and rent fee, the profit margin of this pair of shoes is still very considerable, of course, this has to be sold to keep up.

"Okay, give it to ......" was 30 yuan cheaper at this time, and the buddy on the other side was also very happy, paid the money, carried the shoes, glanced at Tang Yiting in a panic, and walked out.

"Thank you for your patronage and welcome to your next visit!"

In the following time, Zhu Ma and Wu Juan also negotiated a single business, and even Peng Jin, who temporarily served as a shopping guide, also negotiated a deal.

And as time passed, customers came to the door one after another, and Zhu Mingli was a little busy at the cash register.

Since the day before yesterday, Zhu Mingli went to the printing shop to design some leaflets, and for two days in a row, he took a few brothers to distribute them around, and the more than 2,000 leaflets still had some effect.

On the first day of opening, I spent it in a busy way, and at 9 o'clock in the evening, there were no customers coming to the door, and finally until 9:40, the first day of business ended.

After closing the store, the Zhu Mingli brothers and Zhu's mother and Wu Juan and Zhu Mingyue began to take stock, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that 42 pairs of shoes were sold on this day, as well as 26 sets of T-shirts and shorts, with a gross profit of 7,854 yuan and a net profit of 2,730 yuan.

Taking the sales of the first day as a reference, if the daily sales can be maintained in the future, this month will be able to earn back half of the initial investment, but when Zhu Ma and they went to the training before, Zhu Mingli followed and listened to one or two ears and knew that summer was the off-season for selling shoes.

Fortunately, the online store is theoretically facing hundreds of millions of potential customers across the network, and with proper publicity, the online store will not have an obvious off-season.

As for the physical stores, the market is one or two kilometers away, the market base is small, and the desire of customers to sell shoes in summer is not very strong.

Especially a brand like Guirenniao, which mainly faces the youth market, in such a season, and without going to school, a pair of flip-flops can go all over the world, who still wears shoes?

So it is conceivable that in the next half month, especially after the cancellation of the discount promotion, the business in the store will definitely not be as good as the first day, only by the end of the month when the school is about to start, it is estimated that the sales will rise by a wave......

However, soon the shoes in the store will be available for sale on the online store, so there is no need to worry about sales!

After the first day of business inventory, Zhu Ma and Wu Juan and Zhu Mingyue discussed what was not done well in this day's business, and they must pay attention to correction in the future, and then determined the working time of going to work at nine o'clock during the day and getting off work at nine o'clock at night, and the family came out of the side door behind the store and went home.

Walking on the road, the night wind is blowing, the weather is relatively gloomy, the news says that this year's No. 1 typhoon is going to land in the coastal area again, as the saying goes, "the wind is halved, the rain is all over", it seems that the business of the second day of the shoe store opening is not optimistic!

…………

In the evening, it rained, and it was a violent storm overnight, and the next morning the rain decreased, but it did not stop... After reading the news, the typhoon landed on the coast of Jiangjin last night, but the Xibin side was not a frontal landing center, and after the typhoon landed, it went directly north, passed through the provincial capital Fu City, and went to Zhejiang Province in the north......

After breakfast, Zhu Mingli took Tang Bo and a few people to the next hand, pulled a computer at home, and sent it to the second floor of the shoe store.

However, Tang Yiting was obviously a little busy with a computer, so Zhu Mingli called Wu Hong's cousin again and asked him to assemble another computer in the afternoon and send it over.

In one more day, it will be the day to go to military training, and everything at home has been arranged, and Zhu Mingli can go to military training with peace of mind.

Zhu Mingli's main thing is the update of the novel, he spent half a day, uploaded thirty chapters in the draft box, and then notified the editor to forget, help himself look at the update every night, if there is a problem with the system, there is no automatic release, teach him to help manually click to upload it.

Last week, "Rise of the Wasteland" was strongly pushed on the front page of the starting point, and today it was also recommended by Sanjiang, well, this week it was recommended by Sanjiang, and as soon as it was on the list, it was the "Jiuding Ji" of the tomato god that had just been issued for less than two weeks (maybe, maybe not, God knows...... As for Zhu Mingli's "Rise of the Wasteland", it is at the bottom of the list.

But in the end, in the end, the update of the novel is very important, and Zhu Mingli can now be said to have forgotten his ace author. If Zhu Mingli broke off because of something, he was even more nervous than Zhu Mingli himself.

So after receiving Zhu Mingli's notice, I forgot to pat my chest so that Zhu Mingli could be abused with peace of mind, this gloating......

Coincidentally, this evening, Zhu Mingli unexpectedly received a phone call! On the other end of the phone, he claimed to be a person in charge of the Amazon Online Bookstore in the United States.

This week, after more than half a year of fermentation and dissemination, "The Martian" finally lived up to expectations in the early morning of August 9 Western Time, and lived up to expectations on the Amazon Online Bookstore Hot Selling List!

When Zhu Mingli received the call, it was just after five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was early in the morning in Seattle, where the headquarters of Amazon Books is located!

Although Zhu Mingli is not shocked, but abroad, people who pay attention to the book industry have been keeping an eye on the sales changes of "The Martian", and when "The Martian" reached the top of the list, the person in charge of Amazon Books finally couldn't wait to call Zhu Mingli.

Although it was the person in charge of Amazon's website who called, what he said had nothing to do with the website itself, and the other party actually called for the publisher to match Zhu Mingli.

It's still early in the morning! Americans are also very desperate in front of interests, as long as you can bring him enough benefits, let him do anything, Lao Ma's classic saying, is their most perfect commentary.

In the past, "The Martian" was also very concerned, the top ten on Amazon's best-selling list, and it climbed up step by step, but this did not impress those capitalists, at most it was just to call personal attention, such as the suspected clerk of Random House in China who took chicken feathers as an arrow, such as those who called Zhu Mingli, but were not answered by Zhu Mingli, and did not return the call.

It's just an order from their superiors to get in touch, Zhu Mingli called back, and won the copyright of the novel before that, which is gratifying, but judging from the current situation, they have earned it.

And if you don't reply, the other party will not come to harass you again, at most you will be recorded in a small book, everyone is an old fox in this industry, knowing that you want to sell at a price, you can!

"The Martian" is now at the top of the best-selling list, and people will call you immediately and flatter you as if there was no such thing.

Once "The Martian" doesn't reach the top of the list, even if it's second, if you want to publish it, go to someone, they will not bird you and belittle you to worthless!

Second place?who care?As long as you are not the first place, the value will double, plus you are not a bird before, the value will double again!

In the end, if you can get a little money to send you away, you are already a conscientious capitalist!
