Chapter 199: A New Store Opened
One more.
A black-and-white TV costs seven or eight hundred yuan. A 21-inch color TV costs more than 3,000. A refrigerator costs at least four thousand. Their family owns an electrical appliance store. That's going to be a lot of money. Even if it is not sold. It's a lot of money just for inventory.
Someone from the family home sent a good letter to ask. Sure enough, I saw Zhang Cuilian holding a child and selling electricity in Suiyuan Department Store. I saw someone I knew coming. Just make small talk. It's like Mrs. Vice-Kuo's. There's no need to worry about making a living.
"Sister. I heard you also hired someone. You see. Can you please get rid of that person. You hire me. Ding Mei came to Zhang Cuilian with the child in her arms. Avoiding Gu Zhicheng, he asked cautiously.
"You. You don't look at the kids anymore. Zhang Cuilian was surprised by her request: "You go and show me the child." What to do with your child. ”
Ding Mei smiled as a matter of course: "One is also watching." You can see both of them. Of course, I went with my family Katsuo. It just so happens that my family Shengnan can still play with your family Kangkang. ”
Isn't that one person earning money and two people working? It sounds like Zhang Cuilian is quite advantageous.
"No, no, no. Ding Mei. It's a job. I can't let you carry your baby to work. I need someone to take care of my children wholeheartedly. Being able to share my work when I'm busy. Before Zhang Cuilian could finish speaking, Ding Mei interrupted: "Oops." You're fine. We've all said it. You just sit there writing and reading a book. Kang Kang threw it to others. You might as well give it to someone else. ”
Zhang Cuilian rolled her eyes. The face was ugly: "How do you know that I'm not doing my job." Even I didn't have anything. Am I not qualified to hire someone to watch my children? ”
Ding Mei's face turned red. He stammered, "Me." That's not what it means. I just want to say. You see, I don't have a job, and I don't have as much money as your family. Find a job to support your family. You can help me. ”
Zhang Cuilian sighed: "It's not that I won't give it to you." It's that you're really not fit for the job. That's for example, the cost of travel. It costs two dollars a day to go back and forth. Sixty dollars a month. I'm only getting paid 90 dollars. You don't have anything left. ”
Ding Mei was stunned: "It's only ninety yuan a month." ”
Zhang Cuilian nodded: "Yes." Ninety dollars for the first month. If it's done well. The second month was one hundred and twenty dollars. I provide lunch. It's not hard work, isn't it? You know Kangkang is very easy to bring. As long as there's someone nearby. ”
Originally, Ding Mei thought very simply. Bringing your own children is not afraid of adding an extra one. It's not hard to eat. I didn't expect Zhang Cuilian to pay less salary a month and spend so much money on the road. It's not a good deal. I can only do it.
Zhang Cuilian told Gu Zhicheng about this. As if joking: "Look. Being a mother is different. They all want to earn money for their children to support their families. It's a pity, if she lives in Suiyuan, I'll let her help. ”
Gu Zhicheng sneered: "Even if she lives in Suiyuan." You have to find a different reason to refuse. Listen to the tone of her voice. It's as if you don't want her to be unkind. We open a store, and what we do is buy and sell. It's not a welfare home. ”
Zhang Cuilian laughed. Stretched out his hand and put his arm around Gu Zhicheng's shoulder. Joked to him: "I can't imagine that you will become a landlord in a few days." That's not right. ”
Gu Zhicheng's face changed. Pushed Zhang Cuilian's arm away: "What do you say?" Who is the landlord Lao Cai. ”
Zhang Cuilian didn't understand why he was suddenly angry. Some are overwhelmed. hurriedly flattered and explained: "I'm just joking with you." Did I say the wrong thing? Well. I'll apologize to you. ”
Gu Zhicheng shook his head: "No." I'm not angry. I think we should also have a bottom line in our business. You can't let yourself suffer because of your feelings. A lot of family members have seen me these days. They all asked me if I could get cheaper. It's best to sell it to them at a price. And said that everyone doesn't make much. You said that our purchase price is very expensive. Just how much money did this store press. Both of our passbooks are empty. But who believes it from outside? ”
Zhang Cuilian guessed that Gu Zhicheng was troubled because of this matter. Fortunately, I have already experienced this. smiled and soothed: "When I first opened the store. Many of our relatives have heard about it. It's better for you to sell it to him at the purchase price. Many of our relatives have to pay on credit. I'm pretty famous in your house now. It's spicy, unsentimental, snobbish, what's hard to hear. ”
Both of them understand. As soon as this good man's mouth is opened, it will be out of control. Simply no one will be this good person. so as not to cause trouble in the future.
It wasn't the beginning of this incident that I had such an awareness. It's really an unbelievable stomach ache that makes people laugh in the compound.
There is a small shop among the people outside the family home. It is the largest and relatively complete store in the area. The soybean oil they sell at home did a campaign. It is said that the prize is printed on the cap. The third prize is a small barrel of soybean oil. The second prize is a large vat of soybean oil. The first prize is a box worth six barrels of soybean oil. There is also a grand prize for a black-and-white TV set worth 700 yuan.
Many people don't go to the service cooperatives to buy soybean oil. Because someone did win the third prize. More than two months have passed. Although only someone won the third prize, it couldn't stop people's enthusiasm for buying soybean oil.
Zhang Cuilian knew that this was a means of publicity for merchants. Winners are few and far between, but they boost sales.
I didn't expect someone in the East Courtyard to win the prize. It's still a grand prize. It was a sensation all at once. A lot of people want to see if it's really possible to get a black and white TV.
This person is the family of a company commander who borrowed the villain book from Zhang Cuilian and transferred it to her. She had a TV at home and didn't want that black and white TV. Just say that since it's worth 700 yuan, then you can give me the money. I don't want TV.
The shopkeeper was speechless. Said that this manufacturer will definitely not be satisfied. And it was supposed to be taxed. Originally, I had to pay the tax myself to give you the TV. But seeing this woman is arrogant. The person from the manufacturer said, "Can't we pay you back the tax of more than 100 yuan?" You just take the TV home and you're done.
The woman didn't give up. It would be a lie to say that you don't give money. It's quite a big fuss. The owner of that shop is also quite powerful. Directly approached the leadership of the troops. illustrates the situation. Said the families of the people's soldiers. Why is the consciousness so poor? He also said that if the leader also felt that we were being bullied, it was right. Then I'll pay her seven hundred dollars out of my own pocket. But that's not how it works. You are clearly blackmailing. He also asked the leader if he had deducted the soldier's allowance. Let the family ask for food so shamelessly.
The intervention of the leadership did not stop the family. It's not that the liars have to expose something. In the end, the leadership was helpless. Just say that this is what people have set and you just do. What are you capable of bullying a seller? The big bosses don't know either.
There are also people next to him who advise. Said it was all a purchased TV. People's financial departments have earmarked money. I don't want to mess around for you alone.
Later, someone came up with an idea. Isn't it the same if you take it back and sell it again anyway? It's to take it home and give it to my mother's family. That's decent too.
In the end, the family could not resist the persuasion of everyone. Reluctantly, I took the TV and went home. Now every time I mention it, it's still a belly of fire. When people meet, they say that the small store bullies people, and the soybean oil factory deceives people.
I heard about it. Zhang Cuilian felt that the family borrowed the villain's book was nothing. Something that some people can't figure out in their lifetime. There's no need to be dragged to reason with her.
But it also gave Zhang Cuilian and her family an experience. To do business is to do business, don't be favorable.
But that being said. Gu Zhicheng's comrades-in-arms can also buy electrical appliances cheaper. It's definitely cheaper than other places in Suiyuan. And even if you say that you don't make money, no one will believe it.
Zhang Cuilian's business is not good or bad. After all, the average salary of the people in this place is only one hundred and fifty or sixty yuan a month. So people here especially want to find a soldier to marry. The salary is higher than others, and the stable treatment is better.
Unlike Q City, the salary is two or three hundred yuan. Three or four hundred dollars for a better one. Buy a TV refrigerator for three or four thousand dollars. I bought it after saving it for a year and a half. But the people here can't. The geographical boundaries are remote, and the wages are low, and there is no wealth on the other side of Q City.
There are more people who see than buy. Zhang Cuilian calculated that as long as she sold two units a month, she would not lose money. You can pay your salary and pay your rent. As for the food money, the car fare, and the fruit money are not in the plan. This is part of their family's daily expenses. It does not include operating costs.
Fortunately, Zhang Cuilian's purchase channels are regular and cheap. What is taken from Fu Xin is the purchase price of the general agent. Soon gained a foothold in the electrical market in Suiyuan. Slowly, she found that she had no time to concentrate on writing.
You have to know when you signed the contract. However, there is such a thing as liquidated damages. Zhang Cuilian ruthlessly decided to hire a salesperson with a sharp mouth. Wages are directly linked to bonuses. As long as she sells one. Give her the corresponding reward yourself.
With the lure of bonuses. The newly hired little girl made every effort to explain to the visitor. She can speak. Don't start from performance, only talk about the needs of people.
This household appliance is not a necessity for daily life. Young people must come to buy it for the sake of looking good. Either move to a new house or get married. The elderly generally buy a TV in black and white for a color TV. Middle-aged people must have money in their hands. Compare with each other.
Zhang Cuilian's best refrigerator was bought by an acquaintance. That is his neighbor Fan Jinfeng. The most expensive refrigerator costs 7,000 yuan. A large white refrigerator with a height of one meter and eight meters. It looks much more magnificent than the 160 green refrigerator used by Zhang Cuilian at home.
The hired wagon pulls it back. made many women in the East and West Courtyards envious. Especially when I heard about the price. All red-eyed.
Mrs. Yu pulled Ding Mei and pouted: "Just eat and dress well." Look at the money. Buy whatever you want. I don't want to live tomorrow today. It's so frustrating. ”
