The supermarket is a very wonderful place, it is definitely not a simple list of goods on the shelves, it can be said that there is knowledge everywhere, the shopping cart is an example, it does not look big, but because the chassis is particularly low, in fact, the volume is quite considerable, so even if you buy a bunch of things, often do not fill the bottom of the shopping cart.

This creates the illusion that people buy more, and the shopping cart leaves room for the little ones to sit, so that the adults can shop with confidence, or the children will make a fuss and the adults will have to leave early. Instead of shouting and walking, the little ones put their little ones on top of the car, and they treat the shopping cart as a fresh toy, and people spend more time in the supermarket.

And the car itself is easier than baskets and other things, so no matter how many things are loaded, people will not feel heavy, subconsciously they will always think that they are not buying much, in fact, when people push the easy and convenient shopping cart, they have already fallen into the trap.

Zhang Tinglan also got this kind of shopping cart weapon, because the price of using iron is too expensive, the body is made of bamboo, which is as light and strong as it is used.

"Zhang Shao, this shopping cart is a good thing, most of the customers will unconsciously buy a lot more, especially now are buying New Year's goods, who loads more, it proves that whose New Year's goods are complete, who has a bright face. Since its opening, it has been overcrowded, and tens of thousands of oceans of things can be sold every day, not only ordinary people, but even many rich families have gone to Minsheng to buy New Year's goods, and their family has topped dozens of ordinary families, to be honest, they are pointing to make money! ”

After deducting various costs, the net profit per day is also more than five or six hundred oceans, and looking at the current situation, there will be a lot of room for growth. More than a thousand oceans is not a problem, and there are hundreds of thousands of profits in a year, which can almost feed the troops of a division.

Originally, Zhang Tinglan also assured Zhang Zuolin that the development of the northern market could at least get more than one million profits, but now it is calculated that the tax alone can exceed several million per year, and now it seems that the potential of the northern market was seriously underestimated at the beginning.

"Lao Liu, if possible, I suggest that the model of people's livelihood can be promoted, and three will be established in the North Market first. With competition, you will continue to improve yourself, the products you launch will get better and better, and you will attract more and more people. And you have to be prepared to set up similar markets in other cities. Can it be called a branch of people's livelihood, spread the network? It's a big scale. It is also easy to purchase, and the ability to resist risks is strong! ”

Zhang Tinglan's plan has been very clear, that is, to refer to the supermarket chain model of later generations to establish a logistics network in Fengtian. However, Liu Shucheng shook his head: "Zhang Shao, it's good to be able to promote it, but now there are two major difficulties. The first is local obstruction, and the second is the supply of goods. ”

While speaking, Liu Shucheng and Zhang Tinglan had already walked to the interior of the Minsheng Department Store, which was full of crowded people, who were constantly buying what they needed from the dazzling shelves.

There is also a special shopping guide next to the shelves to help guide you. Many people are illiterate, and even if they have price tags, they can't fully understand that someone has to help. In addition, there are police patrols from time to time to avoid theft, as the so-called poor make treacherous schemes, rich conscience, in the case of general poverty of the common people, anything can happen.

Of course, due to the employment of a large number of guards, a lot of operating costs have increased, at first Liu Shucheng and they were very opposed to this shopping model, they hoped that each shelf would have a special salesperson in charge of cashier, so as to really avoid stealing.

However, Zhang Tinglan believes that customer consumption habits can be cultivated, and the unified payment model can create a more relaxed and free shopping environment, even if some people will steal, this loss is completely bearable.

From the situation since the operation, it was found that Zhang Tinglan's judgment is correct, China is a country of etiquette for thousands of years, most of the people are still abiding by the rules, the price of the people's livelihood department store is already very fair, and there are not many people who can really steal, on the contrary, it has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm for shopping, and people with a little money will buy a lot of things.

"Zhang Shao, after the opening of Minsheng Department Store, everything is good, but there is a little problem, we have attracted customers, many grocery stores, the voice of vendors in small markets is not good to do, our price is so low, they can't compete at all, so they can only close their doors one after another."

Zhang Tinglan has already estimated this, but he doesn't want to give up the opportunity for development because he takes care of those people, the goal of the North Market is the Shili Ocean Field in Shanghai, and the three in Tianjin will be built into the top shopping center in China, or even a pearl in the Far East. In turn, it will drive the development of other industries in Fengtian, so it is imperative to promote a new shopping model.

"Many of our shopping guides are recruited from these grocery stores, and those vendors have also changed careers to help us transport goods, but there will still be people who lose their jobs, so I estimate that if we push people's livelihood to other cities, vendors from all over the world will be the first to stand up against it."

Liu Shucheng's concerns are not wrong at all, after all, any change will ruin some people's jobs, and it is inevitable to be opposed, and this situation will be the same in future generations.

"Take out some shares, unite with local businessmen, as the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, we eat meat, but also let others drink soup, if we are not satisfied, we are not vegetarian."

"It's easy to do, but there's more to come." Liu Shucheng and Zhang Tinglan have moved to the special area of cloth clothing, Liu Shucheng pointed to these cloths and said with a wry smile: "More than sixty percent of the cloth we sell is woven by the textile factory of the old Song Dynasty, and his factory not only has to produce cloth for the great powers, which is used to make military tents and the like, but also needs to meet the needs of the major silk villages, and the remaining production capacity can meet the needs of a people's livelihood It is a little difficult, if there is more, he will not be able to do anything." The same is true for other products, if there are too many products, I am worried that the supply will not be able to keep up. ”

Since Song Zhongyi moved the factory to Fengtian, all kinds of troubles have been much less, and he has received sufficient capital support from Zhang Tinglan, and soon the textile factory has entered the fast lane, and after the orders of the great powers, he does not have to worry about the sales problem, and the rest is to expand production wholeheartedly.

Zhang Tinglan reformed the management model of the Machine Bureau some time ago and drove out all the original bosses. The combination of basic salary and bonus was introduced, which greatly improved the enthusiasm of workers.

Song Zhongyi learned all of Zhang Tinglan's set, but he learned it more thoroughly, and directly adopted piecework wages, the more he worked, the more he earned, and if the workload did not meet the standard, he would be fired directly.

He is completely operating in the capital model, without any emotion, everything has been put first in efficiency. If it were to be placed in the Hereafter. Zhang Tinglan must have scolded him for being a black-hearted capitalist, but in this kind of world, Zhang Tinglan not only can't blame, but also encourages the development of a capitalist like him.

After adopting the new management model, Song Zhongyi's textile mill has increased its output by more than half, and it is not just an increase in output. Even the quality has gone up, and in the past, workers were just fooled under pressure. Now there is a monetary stimulus. They pay more attention to quality. He also proposed a number of innovative methods to make the cloth produced almost no worse than foreign cloth.

With excellent quality, low raw material and labor costs, the fabrics produced are more competitive than Japanese Toyofu, and the prospects of the factory are getting better and better. Let Lao Song more and more respect for this new management model, driven by him. Other factories in Mukden have also been reformed one after another.

However, even if the production capacity is greatly increased, in the face of strong demand, Song Zhongyi is still a little overwhelmed.

"Sellers have always been afraid of backlogs, and no one has been afraid of many orders. It's a big deal to buy more machines, you can also consider building some branches, and the same is true for other commodities, in short, the industrial group must give strong support. ”

"With Zhang Shao's words, Lao Song and I can rest assured." Liu Shucheng said with a smile: "But I think we need to weigh which country's machines to purchase, these days there are constantly Japanese people looking for them, and the things in our people's livelihood department store are mainly domestic products, especially those produced by the industrial group flag factory, these little devils ask us to sell Oriental goods!" ”

Zhang Tinglan's brows immediately furrowed when he heard this, these Japanese are really haunted, and they want to meddle when they see interests.

"Zhang Shao, I also hate the Japanese, but we don't have enough strength to tear our faces with them. In particular, if we export goods to Russia, we will have to go through the South Manchurian Railway, I mean to buy a batch of machines from Japan, throw a piece of meat to the Japanese, and let them be honest. ”

Zhang Tinglan suppressed the anger in his heart, no matter how angry he was, he knew better than anyone else, don't look at how many times he tossed, the Japanese still have a deep foundation in Mukden, and they still have a large number of troops stationed in Dalian Lushun, which is not something he can resist.

"We can purchase a batch of Japanese machinery, and set aside 20 percent of the share of the people's department store for Japanese goods, so as to appease the Japanese for a while. However, when purchasing machines, we must pull the United States over, and there are American businessmen competing on the side, which can keep the price down and ensure the quality of imported machines. ”

In fact, it doesn't matter if you buy some machines, after all, the development of industry in Mukden also has to import machines and jishu from foreign countries, the Japanese are not a good thing, and the same is true for the Western powers, if they can restrain each other, it is actually a good thing for Mukden. However, Zhang Tinglan is most worried about Japan's continuous attention to Mukden, as the so-called is not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves, if the Japanese are stared at to death, nothing can be done.

It seems that they still have to find some trouble for Japan, involve their energy, and buy time for the development of Mukden, but there are really not many cards available in the hand now, what can be done to combat the energy that involves the Japanese? Zhang Tinglan couldn't stop thinking about it.

At this time, he had already walked around with Liu Shucheng, and Zuihou came to the meat and vegetable area. In fact, for most people, the most important thing for the so-called New Year goods is to eat, no matter how poor, to make a dumpling, Chinese New Year's Eve, the family sits together, eating steaming dumplings, this is the taste of the year.

Therefore, there is an endless stream of people who come to sell meat, and the fresh and tender beef and mutton transported from Rehe Mongolia, as well as the local big fat pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, etc., are all picked, and they look very clean and attractive.

On the other side, there are a lot of vegetables, but the types are relatively monotonous, only cabbage, potatoes, radishes, etc., and at most some dried mushrooms, which is also a trick of the supermarket to attract people, putting the goods in front of consumers and letting them choose.

The fact that these consumers can touch what they want to buy with their hands can greatly stimulate their enthusiasm to buy, and it is clear that this sales strategy is working again when a middle-aged woman buys meat, tosses and turns, and then puts a chicken in the shopping cart.

At this moment, suddenly there was a noise on the other side of the cash register outside, and many security guards and patrolling policemen ran over, and Zhang Tinglan and they were also alarmed.

Accompanied by Liu Shucheng and a few guards, they hurried over, wanting to see what was going on, and when they were far away, they saw a few soldiers jumping to their feet and scolding: "Lao Tzu is the hometown of Emperor Bixia, he has fought for his old man all his life, and he can afford to look down on you if he takes something from you, don't be ignorant, he annoyed Lao Tzu, and burned all the bullshit and people's livelihood department stores." ”

"This brother, it's too angry to say this!" Zhang Tinglan hurried to the scene of the incident. (To be continued......)
