Chapter 49: The Celebrity Effect
The trick to accomplishing this is the "price" paid by Fan Jianxin, and this so-called price is to exchange 2,000 US dollars at the official price for the manager of the Friendship Store.
Manager Jiao wants to go abroad, you can't go without four or five thousand dollars, and you can't even buy a plane ticket without foreign currency......
Fan Jianxin exchanged dollars with him at the official price, which helped him a lot.
It's not that Fan Jianxin doesn't want to change more for him, but Manager Jiao has no money. He has already taken out all the salaries of more than ten years that he has been paid back after his rehabilitation.
As soon as the house arrived, Fan Jianxin arranged for the two brothers to start their own actions.
Hua Wei, with several employees of the Friendship Store, was responsible for cleaning and decorating this faΓ§ade room;
Erhezi is responsible for going to the Yuejin Flour Mill to print coupons for buying clothes, and mobilizing all the personnel who can be mobilized to distribute them everywhere;
Fan Jianxin rushed back to the garment factory in Weizhou City and asked Director Wu to arrange for someone to put a small label with the words "export to domestic sales" on the packaging boxes of those backlogged tunics......
Fan Jianxin came out of the garment factory and saw a passer-by carrying a box of "Weizhou Craft Brewing" wine, and somehow suddenly remembered that in his previous life, in early March this year, Huaxia had started an unprecedented million-dollar disarmament action since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
He thought that this was his chance to take away the loose liquor that the Mizhou Distillery owed him.
He drove home to get the bill of lading, and once again came to the sales department of the Weizhou Distillery and found Wang Xiangli.
"Don't think I don't know, you have a 52% share of the Yuejin Flour Mill's grain and oil store, and that's not counting your parents' share. You didn't mention the 8,000 yuan of loose wine, no, the ex-factory price is now 12,000 yuan...... You are the absolute possessor. Supposedly, if you have a bill of lading, I should ship it to you. But now that you don't work in the grain and oil store anymore, do you think it's appropriate for me to send you this order? β¦β¦ There was a lot of criticism about this wine in the factory earlier, and if I send it to you now, it will be criticized by others......"
After Fan Jianxin's Spring Festival, it was the first time he saw Wang Xiangli, he had looked for her several times a year ago, and wanted to take away the loose wine, but Wang Xiangli prevaricated with various excuses. As soon as they met today, he noticed that she no longer used "you" to address him.
But that doesn't mean they're close.
"Section Chief Wang, if the price of liquor does not rise, I will be able to mention this loose liquor before the year, so you have no doubts, right? β¦β¦ According to the regulations of your factory for wine shipment, I have a bill of lading and there is stock in the factory, so I should ship the goods, right? β
Fan Jianxin stared at Wang Xiangli, looking at the beautiful female section chief who had a plump body after the Spring Festival, he knew what she was thinking...... It is nothing more than that the price of liquor has risen, and he wants to mention this loose liquor to show something.
After talking about it in a few words, Fan Jianxin understood that invalidating the bill of lading for this loose wine and letting himself get back the principal of 8,000 yuan was obviously not the result Wang Xiangli wanted.
She wanted to get an extra representation.
However, Fan Jianxin didn't want to indulge her anymore and didn't want to get used to her anymore. To be honest, he kind of liked her hearty personality and well-ripened body...... In this way, he can't blindly obey her, otherwise she will fall on her career in the future.
Such a beauty, he hopes that she will have a good ending, and he still expects her to help him in the future business road.
Moreover, the bracelet he gave her was very valuable in the afterlife.
Of course, she may not be the only one who did this.
After all, the sudden price increase of liquor has made a difference of tens of thousands of yuan for Fan Jianxin, who has bought a large amount of liquor, or the grain and oil store contracted by him, without doing anything. In this era when the average monthly salary per capita is only a few tens of yuan, how can people not be blushing?!
"Have you ever thought about it? β¦β¦ Why did I come to your factory to buy a large amount of liquor a few days before the price of liquor increased? β
"Of course I did! β¦β¦ I also doubted it. β
Wang Xiangli glanced at the handsome young man in front of him, he seemed to have grown taller and stronger, and said, "I'm ...... I also got to know you deliberately, and then I denied ......"
"Oh...... Do you think it's just a pure coincidence? Do you think that the level of my life is too low for it to be possible to get the news in advance? β¦β¦ As the saying goes, fish have a way to fish and shrimp have a way to shrimp. If you let me take it now, I can do you or your family a great favor...... Can you believe it? β
"Help me? β¦β¦ How can you help me? The female section chief was a little disdainful.
"For example, I suggest that your lover apply for a job change as soon as possible!" Fan Jianxin didn't want to be too entangled in this matter, so he said directly.
"Oh? β¦β¦β
Wang Xiangli was surprised by these words, she never thought that Fan Jianxin would give her such a suggestion. Her lover, who works as a civilian officer in the South Barracks, is still quite promising, and as a rule, her position should be promoted this year.
Let him apply for a job transfer to a place, isn't this jumping from the rice basket to the chaff basket?
In March, Fan Jianxin can't remember exactly what day, it seems that at the beginning of the month, Huaxia began a million-dollar disarmament operation.
A large number of veterans and demobilized soldiers gathered in the localities and waited for resettlement.
The South Barracks Independent Tank Brigade, downsized into a regiment, was incorporated into a field division. The barracks were converted into a branch of a military academy, and a large number of tanks produced in the fifties and sixties were sent back to the steelmaking furnaces to be re-made ......
He guessed that Wang Xiangli's husband Officer Pei should be transferred to a local government like most of the officers in the South Barracks. At that time, there will be too many demobilized servicemen who need to be resettled in the local area, and the arrangement of demotion will be inevitable......
"Well, I don't want to say more, this is my kind advice, please trust me! β¦β¦ Note that this matter is not for outsiders either. β
After saying this, Fan Jianxin turned his head and left, he knew that it was impossible for Wang Xiangli to listen to him...... She will not believe it until the top level of the country announces a major disarmament, and it is useless to say more at this time.
The reason why he told her this was just to be able to smoothly pick up the loose liquor that was held by the distillery and unwilling to ship.
Weizhou Distillery was the first state-owned factory in Weizhou City to go bankrupt, and Wang Xiangli's ability to be transferred to the Light Industry Bureau before the collapse also shows that Wang Xiangli's background is not simple.
He also wanted to get acquainted with Wang Xiangli, who would become the director of the Light Industry Bureau in the future. When she was underdeveloped, the friendship she made with her was long-lasting.
β¦β¦
On the third day, that is, the first day of Fan Jianxin's shopping with the reputation of the Friendship Store clothing specialty store, they issued clothing coupons, and hung a red banner under the eaves of the clothing franchise department of the only friendship store in Weizhou City, which read: "Export to domestic clothing sale".
Before the store even opened, there was a long queue to buy clothes.
Customers who hold the coupons issued by Fan Jianxin can enjoy the "buy one get one free" activity in the store. That is, with a coupon, you can spend 32.8 yuan to buy a woolen tunic for export to domestic sales, and give a "really good" tunic for free.
Citizens will calculate that the price of a woolen tunic in the department store is 32.8 yuan, which is the same as the sales price of the friendship store, and here you can get a tunic worth 12 yuan from the merchant.
That's great news!
This kind of sales model, which was prevalent in later generations, in this extremely conservative and naΓ―ve era, is tantamount to holding a bikini underwear model show, like a nuclear bomb exploding in Weizhou City.
For a time, the "buy one, get one free" clothing sales talk in the friendship store resounded in the hustle and bustle, and people rushed to tell each other and call friends for company......
And on the street, you can see people everywhere holding coupons for clothing sold in friendship stores, shouting "coupons, coupons for clothing...... Each ticket costs a dime! β
These people were all temporarily found by Fan Jianxin. Fan Jianxin did not pay them salaries, and also charged them the cost of each penny of coupons. They resold to the townspeople, and the difference in price was their income.
These people are tired of this, and if they sell well, they can net dozens of yuan a day......
The sales of tunics are too hot, and the friendship store has assigned two salesmen to help, but the manpower is still tight. So much so that Fan Jianxin's mother, sister, younger sister, and Hua Wei's four younger sisters, as well as several family members of Erhezi, came to help whenever they were free.
In less than three days, 10,000 pieces of woolen tunics and 10,000 pieces of giveaway "really good" tunics were sold out.
When Fan Jianxin and the others went to the city garment factory to pick up the goods, they were told that the backlog of tunics had been bought.
- That's the disadvantage of not signing a contract.
Fan Jianxin didn't expect in advance that 20,000 pieces of tunics would be sold out so quickly.
"Bought them all?!"
Fan Jianxin sneered, there was no squeak, but Erhezi and Hua Wei quarreled with the custodian of the garment factory.
"How so?! Didn't you say that we would sell it?! β¦β¦β
"Why sell it to someone else?! β¦β¦β
"I'm going to reason with the factory director......"
"Okay, don't quarrel...... Fan Jianxin saw that the two brothers were still unrelenting, and said quietly: "Do you know how much money we made this time?" β¦β¦β
The two of them were stunned at first, and then Ersunzi laughed weirdly, and Hua Wei also laughed.
The purchase price of each piece is 14 yuan, the purchase price of "really good" is 5 yuan per piece, the cost of "buy one get one free" is 19 yuan, the price is 32.8 yuan, and the gross profit of 10,000 sets is 138,000 yuan! Excluding the cost of a few thousand dollars and the wages of helping their families, they have a net ......
Ahh Too much!
It's not good!
"We've already eaten meat and bones, and we can't let anyone drink some leftovers? β¦β¦ Let's go to the street garment factory. From tomorrow, we will start selling 'Sachiko shirts' and 'Mitsuo shirts'. In the past few days, hasn't the island country's TV series "Blood Suspicion" been rebroadcast on Weizhou TV? β¦β¦β
At this time, the filming of domestic TV dramas has just been involved, and the source of films is far from enough, and the introduction of Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas must be strictly reviewed.
Fan Jianxin remembers very well that the broadcast of "Huo Yuanjia" in his previous life went through ups and downs, censorship and inspection, and the broadcast was stopped, and it took more than a year for more than 20 episodes to be broadcast.
At this time, there were very few film and television dramas on TV stations, so they had to replay those TV series repeatedly.
The rerun of "Blood Suspicion" inadvertently brought an advertising effect to the sales of his "Sachiko shirt" and "Mitsuo shirt".
They drove to the street garment factory.
With money as the driving force, the production efficiency of the street clothing factory is not bad, and 5,000 pieces of "Sachiko shirts" have been completed, and more than 3,000 pieces of "Mitsuo shirts" have been produced.
According to the plot of "Blood Suspicion", Fan Jianxin personally wrote a draft in Japanese, instructed the director of Mao to print and sew it on the clothes, and also pasted a small label of "export to domestic sales" on the outside of the packaging box of the clothing.
Then, he asked the factory manager to send someone to the Friendship Store.
In his previous life, when he was attending the English Department of Normal University, the second foreign language he chose was Japanese, which came in handy.
Not only can he go crazy in English, but he also understands Japanese, which shocked Ersunoko and Hua Wei to be suspicious of heaven. Fan Jianxin didn't explain much, and drove the two brothers to the leather bag processing factory again......
The next day, at the entrance of the clothing store of the Friendship Store, a large sign was erected, on which various stills from the TV series "Blood Suspicion" were pasted.
There is still a long queue in front of the door, crowded with people who have come to buy tunics.
Fan Jianxin used the horn to inform the customers in line that the tunic was sold out, and the coupon could continue to be used and would be valid for a long time. Customers who purchase a "Sachiko shirt" or "Mitsuo shirt" at our store will receive a "Shigeru Oshima" leather bag with a coupon issued by the store.
He kept shouting, "The number of bags is limited, while supplies last!" β¦β¦β
He asked his sister Yingzi to take leave and didn't go to school, and Hua Wei's eldest sister Hua Wen put on a "Sachiko shirt" and stood next to the store to maintain the line.
The two female employees who were transferred from the Friendship Store also wore "Sachiko shirts", and he and Erkuro Hua Wei both wore "light husband shirts" and were busy with their ......
Yingzi originally cut the "Sachiko head", and Hua Wen at this time also cut the "Sachiko head", and the two of them stood at the door, which was really eye-catching.
Yingzi's appearance is a little regrettable, like her father, although she is not as beautiful as her sister Fan Jianhong, but when she wears a "Sachiko shirt", the so-called people are dressed in clothes and horses and saddles, in this era of poor clothing, it is really a bit like that;
As for Hua Wen, she has the beauty genes of the Hua family, and she looks better than Yamaguchi Momoe when she wears a "Sachiko shirt".
The two of them stood next to the door of the store, and there was a lot of discussion among the people, and many people who were ready to buy tunics turned to buy "Sachiko shirts" and "Mitsuo shirts......
