Chapter 130: The Jewelry Store Opens
On November 1, the first store of Tiangong Jewelry Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Meng Songhai, was officially opened.
Meng Songhai originally planned to create Tiantiangong Jewelry Co., Ltd. in the capital, but since the Lantern Festival in the capital, he came to Ruili, has not returned to the capital, and he felt that the first jade store in Ruili is also very good, in the end, he chose to register in Ruili to create Tiangong Jewelry Co., Ltd.
Before Tiangong Jewelry Co., Ltd. was registered in Ruili, Meng Songhai planned to move the company's registered place and headquarters to the capital in the future.
More than a month ago, when Zheng Quangui's hotel, gambling stone shop and jewelry store opened at the same time, it was very lively.
And now, when the Tiangong jewelry store opened, Meng Songhai didn't want to make it too grand and lively, so he only set off a string of firecrackers at the door of the jewelry store, neither inviting others to attend the opening ceremony, nor setting up a banquet to entertain guests.
Meng Songhai has many relatives, but his relatives in Ruili all work for him, and usually, he invites these relatives to dinner.
Good friend Zheng Quangui and a few jade merchants who have business dealings came uninvited, sent red envelopes, and also sent firecrackers, which crackled and rang for a while.
Meng Songhai is not a person who does not understand the world, someone sent a red envelope to congratulate, he naturally wanted to express it, he booked a few tables of banquets in the restaurant of the Nanhua Hotel, not only invited guests, but also invited people who worked for him to receive a salary from him to have a meal.
During lunch, Zheng Quangui asked Meng Songhai when he would move into his new house.
"I'll move tomorrow. You can live in your new house tomorrow night. Meng Songhai replied with a smile.
"Where's the old house you live in now?" Zheng Quangui asked again, "Ready to sell?" ”
"I don't have the idea of selling it for the time being. The lease of the house rented by Mao Bowen's family of five is approaching, and I am ready to let them move in. ”
"Oh!" Zheng Quangui nodded with a smile, "Those old furniture, stay in the old house, or move to the new house?" ”
"Move to a new house." Meng Song smiled, "Quan Gui, you have a lot of problems today, don't talk patronizing." Drink more alcohol and eat more vegetables. ”
"Here, let's have a drink." Zheng Quangui smiled and raised his glass.
"After a bottle of beer, I don't drink it anymore. Whether my wine is good or not, everyone should bear with me. ”
Meng Songhai raised his glass and touched it, and drank all the beer in the glass in one gulp.
The next morning, Meng Songhai's jadeite processing factory moved to a newly built four-story building, with the factory on the second floor.
Start by buying an old home. After demolition, reconstruction, and decoration, Meng Songhai spent a total of 250,000 yuan to build this four-story frame structure building with a total area of 600 square meters, which he felt was quite cost-effective.
The first floor is used to operate a jewelry store, the self-operated Tiangong jewelry store occupies 132 square meters, the stairwell area is 18 square meters, and the jewelry store is divided into two parts, one part is a business hall for all customers. The other part is a private room for entertaining VIPs, which is elegantly furnished with sofas and coffee tables, as well as several safes.
The second floor is used for the jadeite processing factory, and if the equipment is sufficient, it can accommodate more than 40 jade carvers working at the same time.
The third and fourth floors are used to live in people, and there are several rooms dedicated to storing jadeite raw materials, Mao Zhenyang, Wu Shengli and Yu Shouhu live on the third floor, and Meng Songhai, Lu Xinya, Meng Guoqiang and Mao Hongmei live on the fourth floor.
The early days of Tiangong jewelry store. There are only three full-time salesmen, Lu Xinya, Mao Hongmei and Zhou Aixian (Mao Bowen's sister-in-law).
Before the opening of the jewelry store, Meng Songhai also told Lu Xinya and others that when there were many customers in the jewelry store, the three salesmen were too busy to come. can let Wu Shengli and others come down from the second floor to make temporary cameo salesmen.
In fact, after the opening of the jewelry store, for a long time, three salespeople were enough, and there was no shortage of manpower at all.
Zhou Aixian's mother-in-law is Mao Bowen's biological mother. Although she is retired, she is still in good health, and she cooks at home and takes care of her children, which makes Zhou Aixian able to commute to and from work on time every day.
Tiangong jewelry store has only three salespeople, and the reason why there is no shortage of manpower is related to the special way this jewelry store operates.
Before the opening of the jewelry store, Meng Songhai wrote a few notices, and found a wood carving master to make a tall and stylish notice board out of Burmese rosewood, with twelve big characters engraved on the billboard: "No counter-offer, no price reduction, no price increase, no cabinet removal".
Meng Songhai put up this notice board in the jewelry store to inform all customers that the jade jewelry sold in this jewelry store was clearly marked with a price, and did not accept the customer's counteroffer, and also informed the customer that the jade jewelry sold on the counter in this jewelry store would neither reduce or increase the price after it was put on the counter, and would never be withdrawn.
The reason why Meng Songhai formulated this special business strategy, he feels that most of the people who buy jadeite jewelry, do not know much about jadeite, many people before buying, will worry about whether the price of their purchase will be too expensive, he feels that he adopts the business strategy of "no counteroffer, no price reduction, no price increase and no cabinet withdrawal", which can dispel the idea of many customers being slaughtered.
Most of the retail prices of the jadeite jewelry sold by Tiangong Jewelry Store were higher than the market price, a small part was the same as the market price, and a very small part was lower than the market price.
Meng Songhai believes that after a long time, as the price of jadeite jewelry continues to rise, many customers who have come to this store will become repeat customers, and even some people will often come to visit after coming once, hoping to pick up the leaks.
If the market price of jadeite jewelry falls, Meng Songhai wants to sell more, on the basis of adhering to the original business strategy, carry out some promotional activities, put out some new jadeite jewelry, and set the price lower, which can naturally attract customers to patronize.
After all, Ruili is a small place, there are very few people who have the money to buy jadeite jewelry to wear, and the number of tourists who come to Ruili to play and intend to buy jadeite jewelry is also very small, Meng Songhai feels that after the opening of Tiangong Jewelry, for a long time, business will not be too good, customers can not accept the special operation of this jewelry store, but he believes that after a long time, the business of this jewelry store will get better and better.
As the jadeite market became more and more prosperous, after staging the "crazy stone", Meng Songhai believed. The fame of Tiangong jewelry will be greatly enhanced, and the jade jewelry that may have just been put out today will be expensive when customers see the price, and the price of the entire market will rise sharply. There will be a lot of customers who are worried about the jadeite jewelry in this store, and the market is rising, and customers will rush to buy jadeite jewelry.
Meng Songhai is not worried, other jewelry companies imitate Tiangong Jewelry's "four no" business strategy, and he has a big advantage. That is, he has the magic power of "discerning treasure", the cost of buying jadeite wool is far lower than that of other jadeite merchants, processing jadeite wool into finished jewelry, he and other merchants pursue the same profits, the price of jadeite jewelry sold by Tiangong jewelry store will be lower, if he and others set the same price, he will get a higher profit.
Meng Songhai's cost of buying jadeite wool is lower than others, and over time, this advantage will make his capital stronger than other jewelers, not to mention that he has the memory of nine "future people". In the future, he can make huge profits by investing in stocks, industry, and antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and this advantage of strong capital will become greater and greater.
In addition, Meng Songhai knows that the price of high-end jadeite jewelry will increase a lot in the future, and the jadeite jewelry he sells on the counter will have a higher price and cannot be sold for a long time, which will have little impact on him. He is not afraid of pressing the goods in his hands, anyway, he plans to stock up on some mid-to-high-end jadeite jewelry in his hands for a long time.
……
On the night of moving into the new house, Lu Xinya and Mao Hongmei cooked together.
Mao Zhenyang, Wu Shengli and Yu Shouhu, who lived on the third floor, were all invited to the fourth floor for dinner.
"Little Five. When you move to a new house and eat at a new home for the first time, do you want to have some wine to celebrate? Meng Guoqiang asked with a smile.
"Just drink some, don't drink too much." Meng Songhai smiled.
"Little Wuzi, you can't do this, I found out that since you were admitted to the hospital for that alcoholism. I don't dare to drink anymore. Meng Guoqiang smiled and said, "We big men, when we are happy, we drink too much and get drunk, which is also a common thing......"
"Stop!" Meng Songhai interrupted with a wry smile, "One bottle of beer is enough for me, and if you want to drink more, I won't stop you." ”
"You're the boss, you don't drink much, how dare we guys drink more?!" Meng Guoqiang said with a smile.
"It's your business if you don't dare to drink more, and I won't suffer." Meng Songhai laughed.
After eating and drinking, Wu Shengli offered to have him wash the dishes.
"Not bad." Meng Songhai smiled and praised, "Victory, a man who is willing to do housework will definitely be able to marry a good wife." ”
"It's not necessarily, hard-working men will marry lazy women." Meng Guoqiang joked.
"Two big brothers, don't make fun of me, I'm still young, and I'm not old enough to fall in love." Wu Shengli smiled and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
More than an hour later, Meng Songhai and Lu Xinya entered the bedroom.
That night, Meng Songhai was not in a hurry, after taking off his coat, he lay on the bed, hugged Lu Xinya, and chatted for a while.
After talking for a while, Lu Xinya asked curiously: "Before dinner, the second brother said that you were drunk and admitted to the hospital...... What's going on? ”
"Broken in love." Meng Songhai said with a smile.
"I don't believe it." Lu Xinya pursed her lips and smiled.
"Why don't you believe it?" Meng Songhai stared at the delicate face with a smile.
Lu Xinya hesitated for a moment and said her reason: "If you have been in a relationship before and broke up, it must have been your initiative to break up, you shouldn't be sad, let alone alcoholic." ”
"Crooked!" Meng Songhai kissed Lu Xinya's cheek and smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I failed the college entrance examination, and I was a little depressed in my heart, so I drank more wine." Before, I rarely drank alcohol, and I drank a little bit every time, but that time, I poured a second pot head into my mouth, drank too much, and was sent to the hospital by my classmates. ”
"Uncomfortable, isn't it?"
"It's uncomfortable. Now that I think about it, I don't dare to get drunk anymore. ”
"It's good not to like to drink. My uncle is a frequent alcoholic, so my godmother will divorce him. ”
"Your uncle died of illness?"
"Yes, a few years after the divorce, I died of liver disease."
"In order to take good care of you in the future, I will drink less." Meng Songhai laughed and said, "Do I want to quit drinking?" ”
"You don't need to quit drinking, when you encounter something happy, drink to have fun, drink less, it's okay." Lu Xinya smiled sweetly.
The two people looked at each other, their hearts collided strongly, sparks sparked, and kissed each other's lips almost at the same time, and the gentle and fierce entanglement/lingering drama kicked off. (To be continued.) )
