Approaching the end of the year, the shops in Yuhua Lane in the past will gradually reduce their business hours and begin to make preparations for the New Year, after all, after a year of hard work, both the boss and the guy want to have a good rest for the New Year.

Some guys who live near Jinling want the owner to settle their salaries as soon as possible so that they can go home early for the New Year, and most of the shops have no intention of operating at this time.

But this year is different from previous years, and in late December, Yuhua Lane is even more lively than usual, and this change starts with a new store, the Xuanji Branch.

When other stores have entered a state of semi-closure, the Xuanji branch has launched a large-scale activity of "giving back to the people of Jinling and giving preferential rewards before the holiday".

Usually five taels, ten taels, fifteen taels of medium and high-end cosmeceuticals, drugs one wisp of 80% off, 123 taels of one bottle of home standing medicine 7% off sales, as for more than 30 taels of unit price products is a single product every day limited to 6% off.

Overnight, colorful notices were plastered all over the streets and alleys of Jinling's inner and outer cities, and in just one morning, most of the people in Jinling City knew about the existence of the Xuanji Branch.

If you find a well-informed person to inquire, you will know that the prices of medicines, cosmeceuticals, and high-grade pills in this store are fair and the effect is wonderful, which has aroused the interest of many Jinling citizens, and many people are ready to go to the Xuanji branch of Yuhua Lane when purchasing New Year's goods to see if there are suitable medicines for themselves.

Most of the citizens of Jinling years ago were rich and free, and suddenly there was such a good place, so naturally they were all admired, so that at this time in previous years, Yuhua Lane, which was relatively depressed, became lively.

Every day, there is an endless stream of people pouring into Yuhua Lane, most of them are coming to the Xuanji Branch, but people who come to shop cannot only enter the Xuanji Branch's one store, but also go to other stores by the way, and the flow of people will naturally bring business.

At the same time as the goods of the Xuanji branch were on sale, other stores in Yuhua Lane also increased their sales, and some store owners were more sensitive, and found that the daily turnover of the store was rising in a straight line, and they immediately reacted, and also launched the activity of "small profits but quick turnover, rebates before the year".

There are many shops that follow the trend, except for some shops that send their guys home early, most of the shops in Yuhua Lane have joined this reward activity.

This has formed a linkage effect, originally in previous years Jinling citizens to purchase New Year's goods when the map is cheap will run many places, but this year's Yuhua Lane before the festival, the price of many things and other market prices are not much different, as long as you come to Yuhua Lane to take a trip, you can buy all the New Year's goods in place, more convenient.

The effect of word-of-mouth publicity is obvious, and since December 21, the shopping popularity of Yuhua Lane has been increasing.

Three days later, the second batch of notices were plastered all over the streets and alleys of Jinling City again, no longer the notices of the Xuanji Branch, but the notices of the Yuhua Lane Management Committee.

"Lowest price of the year!"

"Thanksgiving price!"

"Tearful sale price!"

"There's nothing you can't buy, only a price you can't imagine!

"Don't miss it when you pass by, you only enter Yuhua Lane once a year to ensure your new year's new atmosphere!"

"For more preferential activities, please consult the store, and there will be more important gifts!"

“......”

Eye-catching titles, shocking prices, and attractive gift packages, each of which tickles the nerves of Jinling citizens, and all the money bags of Jinling citizens have become disobedient at this time, and they will run to Yuhua Lane with their own masters, and they will not go home if they do not vacate themselves.

Busy traffic, bustling, crowded, crowded, crowded, crowded, well, these words are no longer enough to describe the lively scene of Yuhua Lane.

Because there were too many people pouring into Yuhua Lane on December 25, it almost caused a stampede, so starting on the 26th, the Yuhua Lane Management Committee pulled up columns and long ropes on the street to guide guests to enter Yuhua Lane in an orderly manner from the entrances at both ends of Yuhua Lane.

In addition, more than 100 big men were arranged to maintain order on the spot, and all guests did not go back, and if they missed their favorite goods, they could only queue up again to buy.

And the number of people who put it into Yuhua Lane is controlled every time, and each batch of guests needs to receive a license plate on the side of Yuhua Lane, and they must have a license plate to enter the store for consumption, and hand over the number plate on the other side when they leave Yuhua Lane, and the number plate will not let people enter Yuhua Lane for the time being.

This arrangement makes the entire buying team orderly and efficient, greatly reduces the risk of stampede, and also greatly increases the number of customers entering Yuhua Lane every day.

For three consecutive days, the traffic of Yuhua Lane was more than eight times that of the busiest time on weekdays, and all the stores participating in the promotion made a lot of money, more than the usual monthly receipts.

The citizens of Jinling have also benefited, spending less money to buy more and better New Year's goods, the recognition of Yuhua Lane has been greatly improved, and it has also attracted many people who previously thought that Yuhua Lane was more expensive to come to Yuhua Lane for the first time, and the number of first-time buyers has surged.

Such an impressive performance was unexpected, and even the tax revenue of the Jinling Mansion that month was increased by three and a half percent, and the Yin of Jinling Mansion specially wrote the matter as a memo and reported it to the imperial court.

The imperial court replied that it should not interfere with normal business behaviors, send people to assist Yuhua Lane to do a good job of personnel guidance, avoid mass risks, carefully observe and summarize the business behavior of Yuhua Lane, and sort out the reasons for the success of Yuhua Lane and report it to the Ministry of Households.

With the addition of Jinling Mansion Tolerance, the promotion of Yuhua Lane has been officially recognized and supported, and both buyers and sellers are more assured to start trading.

In the past, vegetable vendors, butchers, grain vendors, and small food merchants who were concentrated near Confucius Temple, Fumin Bridge, and Flower Road also moved their stalls to the streets near Yuhua Lane, and became beneficiaries.

Jinling Mansion has also made a lot of money through the collection of temporary management fees, at least this year's New Year, the size of the Jinling Mansion can have one or two more red envelopes, which is really happy.

As for the mysterious organization, the "Yuhua Lane Management Committee" kept a low profile, and it was not until the evening of the 27th that a celebration party was organized in the Vientiane Building, and the owners and shopkeepers of 389 shops in Yuhua Lane attended almost universally, filling the first to fourth floors of the Vientiane Building.

Although the scale of the Vientiane Building is not as large as that of the Lion King's Mansion and Phoenix Terrace, it is a hollow-shaped building, which is very convenient for holding a conference, and the guests on the second, third and fourth floors can have a meeting with the guests in the hall on the first floor as long as they go out of the room to the inner fence on each floor.

In order to prepare for tonight's celebration banquet, Vientiane Tower closed in the afternoon, rearranged the venue, and borrowed a lot of cooks and men from the Lion King's Mansion and Phoenix Terrace to help, so as to make such a big formation.

Looking at the nearly seven hundred people upstairs and downstairs, Wanfeng burst into tears with excitement, clenched his fists tightly with both hands, and kept muttering in his mouth: "Father, mother, my son has finally pushed Vientiane Tower to a new height, and now I finally understand what Ah Huo means when he says 'the peak of life'!"

At this time, a fat middle-aged man walked behind Wanfeng, raised his hand and slapped the back of Wanfeng's meaty head, and said: "Dead boy, your father and mother are here!

Wanfeng was blackened, rubbed the back of his head and looked back at the fat man, and a middle-aged beautiful woman who was walking here and said: "Father, mother, isn't my son excited! You usually always say that I don't learn no skills, you look at the scene in front of you, can this be a child who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it?"

The middle-aged beauty stepped forward to grab Wanfeng, rubbed his head, and said angrily to the fat man: "Ada, you are always so light and heavy, I suspect that my son was beaten stupid by you when he was a child, and now he has finally recovered, and you beat him like this again, be careful that I fight with you." ”

The fat man Wanda ignored Wanfeng and his wife, but walked to the fence and observed up and down, and saw that all the tables and room doors had name tags, basically according to the strength of the Yuhua Lane store and the year of opening, the guests upstairs were more noble, and the guests in the hall were weaker, and most people had no objection to this arrangement.

The guys who ran the hall were quick and orderly, and they didn't panic because of the crowd, and their own guys in Vientiane Lou seemed more flexible.

Wanda had just come from the back kitchen, and found that the chefs and helpers in the back kitchen were much more profitable than before, and their work enthusiasm was very high, and their mental outlook was much better than before they went out.

Wanda was very satisfied with this change, and he turned back to his son and said, "Ah Feng, are all the changes here that you thought of?"

Wanfeng blushed and said: "Dad, this is all what Ah Huo thought of, and my son thought it made sense, so he followed him." ”

"Ah Huo?"

"Dad, you just came back, and you don't know Ah Huo yet. Ah Huo is the boss behind the Xuanji Branch, and he is not as old as me, but his ability is boundless!"

Wanda laughed: "It's the kid who coaxed my son to take out 500,000 taels of silver to buy half of the shares, right?

Wanfeng's face turned red, and he protested: "Dad, Ah Huo won't cheat me, he told me that he will return to his capital in three years at most, and then he will make a steady profit without losing money." ”

Wanda lowered his face and said: "Dad has been in business for so many years, and I have never seen a person who sells medicinal herbs to make a lot of money, so you should buy a lesson for your 500,000 taels." ”

Wanfeng broke free of his mother's hand, and said angrily: "Dad, can't you believe me once?" I have seen the flow of the Xuanji branch, this month has already exceeded one million taels, Ah Huo told me that the net profit should be about two and a half percent, that is to say, we can get back 20,000 taels of silver this month, and we will definitely be able to return to the capital in three years. ”

Wanda was a little surprised and said: "Selling medicinal herbs can really make such money, tomorrow I will go to the Xuanji branch to have a look, see if it is as exaggerated as you say?"

Wanfeng said angrily: "Dad, you look down on me, you can't look down on my friends." If Ah Huo is not so powerful, why did everyone recommend him as the first president of the Yuhua Lane Management Committee?"

Wanda said: "This is the strangest place for me, there are many talented people in Yuhua Lane, and the industries they are engaged in are also very different, and there is no foundation for holding together at all, so there has been no unified self-discipline management organization."

This time, not only did they hold a group, but they also elected a sixteen-year-old child to be the president, I really don't know what they are thinking?

Wanfeng looked at the sky outside the door and said, "Ah Huo said that he will be able to arrive before sunset!"
