Chapter 13: Underwear Sales
At the turn of spring and summer, the weather in the south is the face of a child, and it changes when it is said. This morning, when Tong Xiang just got up, he only felt that the temperature had risen, he put on a shirt and subconsciously glanced at the sky outside.
The sky was not clear, and it was still cold and gloomy.
He touched the wall with his fingers, and sure enough, there was a wet feeling.
Tong Xiang's brows furrowed slightly, "It's time to return to Nantian?" ”
"Back to the south" is a kind of weather that the south experiences every year, that is, it suddenly becomes cold, and the humidity increases, which can be very troublesome, especially the clothes are difficult to dry.
In this wet season, the walls are wet, and the floors are covered with water droplets...... As if everything was wet.
People in the garment industry, whether it is sales or production, are most tired of this weather.
Because this kind of weather is not only the existing clothes will be affected, but also the hoarded goods are also likely to become moldy.
However, all the bad will be accompanied by good, and the benefit of this weather to people who do clothing business is that in the off-season of spring clothing in Jiangnan, the sales of intimate clothing will increase.
The business of the Yuris franchise store next door to them should be better during this period of time, right? Tong Xiang quickly thought of this question.
On the periphery of the cross-sea pedestrian street, Ulis specializes in the store.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, small water droplets began to emerge from the floor, and there were also small water droplets ticking on the roof.
The female clerk mops the floor from time to time, but there is no way, it is always unclean. After a while, new small droplets will emerge from the freshly cleaned floor.
In front of the cash register, Zhao Hongbing looked at the female clerk's repeated movements.
"This kind of weather is really troublesome." The female clerk moved back and forth with a mop, complaining about the seasonal weather.
The weather has changed again in recent days, from cold and wet to hot and humid, not to mention how uncomfortable it is. And with the change of weather, as well as the sales in the store, the sales of underwear have increased by leaps and bounds.
Zhao Hongbing sat in front of the cash register, looking at several clerks in the store, all of whom greeted customers at the position of underwear, and couldn't help nodding.
As an ordinary women's clothing brand, of course, Ulris will not enter the underwear industry, but they have just opened their Ulris franchise store in the town of the sea, and it is a good way to use such a side-fitting clothing to open sales and fame.
"I want this, please wrap this up."
"Is this one a yard bigger?"
When the clerks were busy, Zhao Hongbing occasionally helped with the cashier. Just when he was busy, he glanced sideways and saw that Tong Xiang from the Eddie store was also observing them.
Did Miss Xin's assistant meet somewhere?
In the past three or four days, Zhao Hongbing and he have met two or three times, and every time they meet, Zhao Hongbing has a very familiar feeling with this assistant.
"You two continue to cashier, I'll take a look." Zhao Hongbing instructed the two female clerks in front of the cashier to leave the cashier.
Outside Yuris*'s shop, a smile appeared on Tong Xiang's face when he saw Zhao Hongbing walking towards him.
"Boss Zhao." Tong Xiang greeted Zhao Hongbing politely.
Zhao Hongbing said hello: "Assistant, it's so late, haven't you gotten off work yet?" ”
"Just after work, passing by." Tong Xiang said loudly.
Pass by?
The corners of Zhao Hongbing's mouth moved, this assistant's lie was inevitably too unnatural. Who believes what is said?
"Haven't asked for the assistant's name yet?" Zhao Hongbing asked.
They met two or three times, Tong Xiang followed Miss Xin, and the two of them have not talked once so far.
"My name is Tong Xiang." Tong Xiang said to Zhao Hongbing with an estranged politeness.
"Tong Xiang?"
Zhao Hongbing frowned, his eyes looked directly at Tong Xiang, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Tong Xiang, the helmsman of the Eddie brand in three years?
Zhao Hongbing looked at Tong Xiang, and some of the images in his memory quickly overlapped with the young man in front of him.
Before Zhao Hongbing was reborn, he had watched an interview with the helmsman of the Eddie brand on a video website, in which Tong Xiang, who was in the prime of life, talked eloquently to the camera and described the concept of "fashion fast brand" of the Eddie brand.
When Zhao Hongbing watched that video, it was already 2013. Because of that video, Zhao Hongbing also carefully watched Tong Xiang's information, this is fate.
Then I learned that in 2012, it had been poached by a foreign first-line brand, and left Eddie Clothing with twenty or thirty subordinates.
"Assistant Tong, hello." Zhao Hongbing stretched out his hand to the other party and said slowly.
Tong Xiang glanced at Zhao Hongbing with doubts, and then stretched out his hand to shake Zhao Hongbing, this boss is too polite, right?
"Come into our shop and sit down for a while?" Zhao Hongbing asked.
"Boss Zhao, your store is so busy, I'm not too embarrassed to disturb, right?" Tong Xiang smiled at the corner of his mouth and politely refused.
Zhao Hongbing waved his hand and said, "Where are we busy in the store?" Come in and sit down for a while. ”
Tong Xiang hesitated, and soon followed into Zhao Hongbing's shop.
"Sit down...... Ami, pour a glass of water for Assistant Tong! Zhao Hongbing called a female clerk who was standing next to him.
After Tong Xiang sat down, he said, "Boss Zhao, you are too polite. ”
Zhao Hongbing smiled, how can I not be polite to you?
Since half a month, Zhao Hongbing has been digging people to be in charge of the retail business, but so far, no suitable candidate has been dug up.
The people given by the headhunting company, to be honest, are very basic, and there are no talents who can enter his eyes.
There are also people who don't look down on his small shop, and there is no follow-up as soon as they get in touch.
For no other reason, these great gods all look down on the small temple of Yuris. However, now this assistant Tong should be more poached, right?
After confirming that Tong Xiang was the trader of the Eddie brand, Zhao Hongbing had such a thought.
"Assistant Tong, how is the recent sales volume of your Aidi store?" Zhao Hongbing asked such a question very directly!
Tong Xiang's face was expressionless, and he secretly said in his heart that this Boss Zhao greeted him so well, was it to inquire about the information of the Eddie shop?
"Hehe, it's okay." Tong Xiang is ambiguous and authentic.
"In such an off-season, sales are 'okay', which is already very good." Zhao Hongbing laughed and said.
After asking this sentence, Zhao Hongbing never asked about the situation of the Eddie franchise store again, but instead talked about some other questions.
Although the relationship between the Yuris franchise store and the Eddie franchise store is a competitive relationship, the relationship between the two parties is far from reaching a bad point in Zhao Hongbing's view.
Even if Zhao Hongbing and Miss Xin meet, at least they can say hello, and as for the clerks who watch the store, they communicate more privately with each other as neighbors.
Including now, although Tong Xiang regards Yuris as an imaginary enemy at present, he and Zhao Hongbing do not have any personal grudges, and he naturally has to answer Zhao Hongbing's questions.
"Assistant Tong, where are you from?"
"I'm from Jiang Province, and I've only come here to work here in the past few years."
"I came here to work for a year and a half, and it looks like Assistant Tong is about the same." Zhao Hongbing said with a smile: "There's nothing bad here, it's just that I miss the women at home a little." ”
This sentence seemed to resonate with Tong Xiang, he was silent and said: "For the sake of work, there is no way, I am not allowed by the conditions, if I have such conditions as Boss Zhao, I will definitely take my parents out and be filial." ”
"The life of parents, maybe they have their own ideas. Maybe you've tried your best to get everything done for them, and they don't necessarily want to come. Zhao Hongbing sighed and said.
"That's the same thing." Tong Xiang was slightly silent and said.
After the two chatted for more than ten or twenty minutes, Tong Xiang proposed to say goodbye.
Just on the side, Guan Min'er, who had just finished receiving two or three customers, said thoughtfully: "Zhao Hongbing, it can be seen that you seem to value this Tong Xiang very much!" ”
Zhao Hongbing nodded: "You are not mistaken, I am more optimistic about him." ”
Guan Min'er nodded and did not speak again.
"Women's Day promotion, you can arrange it. Our factory still has some things to deal with, and on the other side of Lanshan Town, I heard that there is also a good store transfer, and I want to take it there to have a look. ”
In Zhao Hongbing's original plan, he also tried to open a few stores first. Now that this side of the town has taken a normal trajectory, it is natural to have to take a look at the other shops.
