Early the next morning, Chi Fei walked from the courtyard to Yihe Buzhuang to officially go to work.

Fortunately, Yihe Buzhuang is not too far from where he lives, and it can be reached by walking for about 40 minutes, so it is considered a walk.

After going there, Shopkeeper Feng first introduced him to the two guys in the store, and then arranged for Chi Fei to be responsible for bookkeeping and change.

In some larger stores, there will be a special person who is responsible for bookkeeping and change, and then the bookkeeper is responsible for the account and accounting, that is, the cashier.

First, it can reduce the burden of the bookkeeper, and second, it can prevent the bookkeeper from falsifying the accounts. This is what a long-established store like Dongsheng Rice Shop does.

In order to save manpower, Feng Dangjia did not do this, but served as the shopkeeper and cashier himself, and all the money and silver in the store came in and out of him.

This is also a common practice in many medium-sized stores. As for the small shop, there is no need to invite the account manager, and the owner will do it all by himself.

Since Yihe Buzhuang is a newly opened store, not many people know about it, and the location of the store is also very ordinary, so the business is not very good, and Chi Fei has nothing to do.

However, even if he sat there in a daze, he would not take the initiative to help the two guys.

Because he was now a full-fledged bookkeeper, not the cheap laborer of the half-apprentice and half-gang in the Dongsheng rice shop, this was not his duty. If he insists on doing it, it will only break the rules of the business.

Although there is nothing to do, Chi Fei is an experienced office worker after all, and he can take the initiative to find something to do when he knows that he has nothing to do, which can not only make a good impression on the owner, but also integrate into the new environment more quickly.

So he took the initiative to ask Feng Dongjia if he could take a look at the recent purchase and shipment accounts in the store, and by the way, make an inventory, so that he would know how many goods there were in the store.

Seeing that he was so positive, of course Shopkeeper Feng readily agreed.

Chi Fei, who had nothing to do, began to get busy.

He first made a table, put the name of each kind of cloth as a separate column, and then calculated the total purchase and total shipment according to the data in the purchase and shipment books, and then subtracted these two numbers to calculate the inventory of this cloth on the books.

Because there are many types of cloth, and the memory of the entry and exit account books is a little messy, it took Chi Fei a full morning to calculate the book inventory of various cloths.

After the calculations, he began to conduct a physical inventory. The first order is the goods in the store, this one is quite fast, and it will be finished in an hour.

The next step is to store the goods in the warehouse, which is a big project.

It is said to be a warehouse, but it is actually a courtyard house, just behind the store.

In fact, many storefronts on the street are like this, with shops in front and yards in the back where people can live and store goods.

Some landlords will connect the front and back directly to make it easier to get in and out. Some are separated, the storefront is the storefront, the yard is the yard, and each is unrelated.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no guests, Chi Fei wanted to go to the warehouse to take inventory.

Shopkeeper Feng was very supportive of his approach, and he simply took over the bookkeeping work, so that he could take stock with peace of mind.

This busy work was not finished until about five o'clock in the afternoon.

After the pool was finished, it was found that not only did not lose money, but made a profit. That is, there is more physical than the inventory on the books. The extra ones were all satin, and there were more than a dozen horses.

When Chi Fei reported the results to Shopkeeper Feng, Shopkeeper Feng was also surprised. After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that the batch of satin was bought from another cloth merchant at a very low price.

The reason why the price is so low is because this batch of goods has been soaked in water and has been seriously decolorized.

He would take over this batch of satin at that time, mainly because he was greedy for cheapness, thinking that although it was discolored, the texture was still good, and there was always a way to sell it slowly.

As a result, he underestimated the pickiness of the people in the capital, and this batch of satin could not be sold for a long time. In the end, he had no choice but to throw it in the warehouse, and after a long time, even he forgot the existence of this batch of satin.

After knowing the origin of this batch of satin, Chi Fei thought for a while and said, "Shopkeeper, do you still plan to sell this batch of goods?" ”

Shopkeeper Feng smiled bitterly: "If it can be sold, it will be sold a long time ago." The people of the capital are very picky, and no one will want to buy this kind of cloth. ”

"Since it can't be sold, have you ever thought about using it for a sale?"

"Push what?"

Chi Fei then remembered that the word promotion only appeared in his time, so he explained: "To put it simply, it is to use some small cheap and small discounts to attract customers to come and buy your goods. To achieve the purpose of not only being able to ship quickly, but also to let more customers know about your store.

For example, this batch of satin that can't be sold, we can use it to carry out a promotion, and the name of the event is buy one get one free.

The approximate way is to buy a piece of satin or two pieces of cloth in our shop and give him a piece of this striped satin. Of course, the average person rarely buys the whole horse, usually a few feet. But no matter how much he buys, we give it away. The more you buy, the more you give"

Shopkeeper Feng himself is a shrewd businessman, and when he heard this idea, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked: "But will anyone really want this kind of satin that has been decolored like this?" ”

"Even if you can't use it to make clothes, you can use it as a quilt or as a towel. And most importantly, who doesn't want something to give away for nothing? ”

As soon as Shopkeeper Feng heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "That's right, that's right, who doesn't want what you give away for nothing." Does just doing this really work? ”

"Shopkeeper, I'm not an immortal, where do I dare to pack tickets. I think so, you've been putting this batch of satin for a long time, and it's still a question of whether you can use it if you put it down again. Rather than letting it continue to occupy space, it is better to use it to try to open up the situation. Even if it doesn't work, you're just wasting these defective products. Of course, you are in charge, and it is up to you to decide whether you want to do it or not, I am just making a suggestion. ”

Shopkeeper Feng thought for a while, and finally patted his thigh and said, "Okay, let's do a promotion according to your method... Promote ......"

"Promotions."

"Yes, yes, it's a promotion."

…………………………

On this morning, the gate of Yihe Buzhuang in the east of the city was crowded with people, and there was a lot of talking everywhere, which was very lively.

There are a lot of people, a large area densely packed, not to mention one or two thousand people, making a lot of noise.

Almost all of these people are residents who live in the vicinity, and some of them have heard of it from other places.

The reason why so many of them gathered here is because yesterday someone was carrying a gong on the street and shouting: "Starting tomorrow, Changshou Street Yihe Cloth Village will hold an activity to benefit the people. Quantities are limited, while stocks last. ”

In this way, the gong beater repeated these words while playing the gong and passing through the streets.

The news immediately attracted everyone's attention, and many people walked over to ask the gong man what was going on.

The gong beater replied succinctly: "You will find out when you go to Yihe Buzhuang early tomorrow morning." Get out of the way, get out of the way. ”
