Chapter 243: Opening of the business

Firecrackers have always been the only choice for Chinese to express their festivities, and only on very important and special days will people light firecrackers to place their yearning for the future prosperous days.

So in the square in front of the train station, when people heard the continuous and deafening sound of firecrackers, they stopped and looked sideways. Let's see where it is and what good things are happening.

Fu Qiumei wore a red dress today, although she is already in her forties, she still has the demeanor of a half-old after dressing up. More than a dozen female workers who had been embroidering and spinning stood behind her on both sides. Holding colorful flowers made of red satin in his hands, all of them are smiling like flowers.

"Sister Fu, congratulations! I really didn't expect you to complete the preparations so quickly and be ready to open! Gao Mo hugged his fists and congratulated Fu Qiumei with a smile.

"Where, it's not all reasonable plans designed by senior managers!" Fu Qiumei was full of emotion, and grabbed Gao Mo's hand and shook it vigorously, where did she think that she would have today in the first twenty years!

"It's your own hard work that made the project finish so much ahead of schedule!" Gao Mo was also a little surprised by the progress of the supermarket's renovation, and his plan was based on the experience of Hong Kong, and he originally thought that it would take at least a month to complete the renovation.

In the case that most of the products have to be produced by themselves, it only took these people a week to complete the preliminary preparations day and night.

Gomo leaned to the side, stepped out behind him and said, "Oh, yes. This is Mr. Zhou, the chairman of this Pan Han Group, and the most important part of our project is from his hand. ”

"Zhou, Principal Zhou!" Of course, Fu Qiumei knew what to do. This is the principal of his daughter's high position. Choosing this title, there is also an element of declaring one's own person.

"Sister Fu. Congratulations! Zhou Shuo walked up with a smile on his face, grabbed Fu Qiumei's hand and congratulated.

"Thank you. Xie Lu Xie Zhou! The corners of Fu Qiumei's eyes were a little moist, and she wiped them lightly and said, "If it weren't for Principal Zhou, our family really wouldn't know how to get through this hurdle!" ”

Zhou Shuo said categorically: "Don't say that, this is the result of your own hard work." Even without me, you will be able to get back on your feet. ”

Although there are no heavyweights, as an example of laid-off workers starting a business, this news was requested by the mayor of Changjiang Bridge to be broadcast on Xiucheng News. The leaders of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau also came to congratulate on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government.

After a burst of crackling firecrackers, the director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce was invited to the center of the colorful silk. A section chief of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee stood next to him, and Fu Qiumei stood on the other side.

As the first pilot project of Pan-Han Investment, of course, the opening of this kind of thing cannot be just self-congratulatory. Ye Weiran and Pi Pinan of the TV station faithfully recorded this scene not far away.

After a burst of camera clicks, the three smiling men wielded scissors and neatly cut the colored silk short. In the cheers and encouragement of everyone, the "Reemployment Supermarket" finally opened!

The impatient crowd that had been waiting for a long time swarmed inside after the door of the supermarket opened. Hundreds of onlookers were outside. After passing through the entrance, it was like pepper noodles, and disappeared into the supermarket in an instant.

Every problem they encounter has to be patiently introduced by the salesperson who waits on the side. There is no way, there are too few people in Xiucheng who have seen the world. People have endless questions about almost every place in the supermarket.

For the people of Xiucheng in 1995, the self-selected supermarket is a completely new thing. Where have ordinary people heard of any supermarket, the commissary is called the commissary. Why is it called a supermarket? And what does it mean to choose by yourself, don't we all choose things by ourselves?

In the minds of ordinary people. There is no concept of self-selection at all. At this time, the best place for Xiucheng people to shop is still the department store on Jiefang Road, and the salesmen in it are more popular than the other. Where do you know what is the quality of service?

Even the small shops run by the common people themselves also use the counter to stop customers outside. In terms of affinity, the customer and the goods are as if they exist in two worlds. The number of choices is too much, and not only the salesperson is irritable, but even he is embarrassed.

With neat and clear open shelves and delicate and interesting carts, this novel shopping experience makes people want to try it even if they don't buy anything. Pushing a cart and wandering among the shelves, no one urging, no snobbery, this feeling is so cool! It's as if everything in the entire supermarket belongs to you in this short moment! You can pick, you can see, you can choose, these customers only in the supermarket, for the first time to experience the feeling of becoming the owner of the market!

Not to mention the decoration of the reemployment supermarket, although it is the work of a group of amateurs, what is the difficulty of making forklifts to make some wrought iron and shelves? There are decoration renderings designed by Gao Mo himself, which is not only full of modernity on the modeling, but also takes into account lighting, ventilation, personnel flow and so on.

Spacious, bright and relaxed, this is the first impression that the reemployment supermarket gives to customers.

Not to mention that the reemployment supermarket is opposite the square in front of the railway station, compared with those noble salesmen on the railway, the salespeople who are transferred to embroidery and spinning women not only sell first-class, but also have a service attitude that makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Not only is the price clearly marked on the shelves, but the settlement only needs to be swept with a light gun, and the cash register can calculate the shipping price by itself. Not only does it look formal and high-end, but you don't have to worry about being slaughtered.

People who buy food and tools for long-distance travel before getting on the train, as long as there is eye comparison, how can they not know who to choose?

Although the two-story supermarket of nearly 600 square meters is not large, it still piles up a lot of goods. Fu Qiumei did not hold on to her absolute control, but continued to introduce other laid-off female workers to invest. You 20,000 and I 30,000 made it together, and the purchase capital of the supermarket reached 200,000.

Supermarkets that were originally only considered for the convenience of passengers to shop have also expanded their business scope. Not only did it open up the second floor in one go, doubling the business area, but also introduced goods such as clothing, Xiaobai, and home appliances.

However, the most attractive thing in the supermarket is the one-yuan area specially opened up next to the supermarket store under Zhou Shuo's proposal......

"Don't miss it when you pass by! You can't buy a dollar and suffer a loss, you can't buy a dollar and be fooled! It's really worth the money, buy what you want, and the whole audience is one dollar! ”

Zhou Shuo stood on the square in front of the station, looking at the crowded entrance of the reemployment supermarket not far in front. Among them, the loudest and largest number of people is the entrance to the one-yuan area.

This is an era when everyone's wages are basically standing still, but prices are skyrocketing every day. Budget-conscious is a must-have skill for almost every working class, and while the dollar in 1995 was much more powerful than the purchasing power twenty years later, the dollar store is still a great invention.

It not only provides cheap products, but actually satisfies people's desire to spend thousands of dollars in difficult times. Here you don't need to think about the price of the product, you can buy whatever you like. If you accidentally buy a satisfactory product, the sense of accomplishment outweighs the happiness brought by the product itself.

In this sense, the dollar store is definitely a great invention. The pleasure it provides, while cheap, is no different from the pleasure of a rich man's spending. Zhou Shuo always felt that when it began to provide three, five, and ten yuan areas, it had already embarked on the evil path.

If a dollar store doesn't satisfy people's false sense of profligacy, then what's the difference between it and a regular grocery store?

In fact, not only is the reemployment supermarket in full swing on the surface, but many laid-off workers who came to see the excitement have also set off a huge wave in their hearts.

It turns out that the money in society is so easy to make? It seems that there are only more than a dozen salesmen, and Fu Qiumei's reemployment supermarket can easily deal with hundreds of customers.

This is simply unthinkable for the traditional way of doing business. A customer picks it up, plus the time for settlement bargaining, ten minutes is less to say. It's like a supermarket, you can choose things directly when you come, and you can check out directly if you choose. Don't worry about being cheated when you don't have enough bargaining skills, because everyone buys at the same price.

Even if you don't open such a big business, a small business can still follow this method.

Some people see the difference between supermarkets and traditional sales methods, and some people see the difference in Fu Qiumei's source of funds.

Everyone is an embroidery worker, and the price of seniority buyout is very transparent. It's easy to figure out who has been working for how many years and how much buyout money should take.

Fu Qiumei has only more than 20 years of experience, and the buyout fee is more than 50,000 yuan, how can she open such a big deal? Although she has pulled a lot of embroidery and spinning workers, and everyone has a lot of money to get together, I am afraid that the key is that Fanhan Investment plays a greater role. The latter not only solves the problem of venue, but also avoids the risk of personal investment in the formalized project application and planning.

Your own vision may not be accurate, but if you have a lesson from the past, it will be different. Workers who had just been laid off in the 90s were still somewhat superstitious about the idea of authority. I always feel that my ideas are unreliable, and if I can be recognized by others, I have the courage to do it. What's more, Fanhan Investment is optimistic about Lu's projects, but real money will be invested. This is even more credible than those who stand on the shore and don't have a backache when they talk.

With such a big deal as Fanhan Group, you can't joke with your own money, right?

If it weren't for the idea of Pan Han Investment, how could a group of old hats who had never even been to the provincial capital make such a lofty plan? Which of them knows about foreign supermarkets, and which way does the door open?

The minds of many laid-off workers suddenly came alive. (To be continued......)
