National Tide 1980.

Chapter 358

Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui chose to keep things simple for the opening of "Huimin Tobacco Hotel".

They did not advertise, hand out leaflets, perform lion dances, or cut ribbons.

They didn't even invite any congratulatory guests on this day.

Except for Luo Guangliang and Liu Weijing, two family members who came to help early in the morning.

The only witness was the landlord "Zhang Dashao" who came over in the afternoon.

Originally, Kang Shude also wanted to come and have a look together.

Unfortunately, another master who worked in the reception room in the jade factory fell ill.

Therefore, the old man "accepted orders in the face of danger", so he had to live in the factory all the time and work on top of the two of them.

Then of course I couldn't get away.

Seriously, if there hadn't been the news of Luo Guangliang setting off two large whips at the door of the store.

Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui's Tobacco Hotel opened quietly.

If it weren't for the eye-catching signboard with red letters on a white background hung on the door of their store, and the red square written by Kang Shude, "Good luck with the business", was also pasted on the glass windows.

I'm afraid no one can tell that this is a newly opened smoking hotel today.

Of course, the reason why Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui chose to act in such a low-key manner was definitely not due to lack of funds and considerations of frugality.

This is mainly due to their unique and unique business strategy.

You know, Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui didn't intend to make money from the common people at all.

What's more, they themselves know that if they only rely on the retail business for nearby residents, this tobacco shop may not even be able to protect its capital.

The real source of profit has to come from those high-end tobacco, alcohol, and high-end home appliances that are simply not seen on the counters of tobacco hotels.

Therefore, the essence of the existence of this store is only to provide them with a fixed place of business as a facade, to negotiate business, to store goods, and to provide legal attributes for their business.

Even when it comes to the function of returning currency, this small shop waiting for scattered customers to come to the door may not be as efficient as the two brothers who ship goods through the acquaintance line.

In this way, why do Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui make public?

And don't forget that if the pig is fat, it will be slaughtered. It is wise to make a fortune in silence.

Given the lucrative profits hidden in their real business, of course they'd rather go unnoticed.

And the most interesting thing is that even though they set off firecrackers that day, no one noticed at all, and they didn't immediately attract customers to the door. It was too cold to start.

But their business is just in line with the saying "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys".

As time passed, it gradually warmed up very quickly.

Still like a blooming flower, it attracts people to drill into their store like bees and butterflies.

In terms of the degree of business prosperity, it is actually no worse than other businesses that have opened up with great fanfare.

Even more than that.

Not because of anything else, cheap things are the biggest magic weapon.

Even Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui added a little profit to the tobacco and alcohol sold in their shop in order to prevent others from being suspicious.

Compared with selling them to acquaintances, it is more expensive at what price and at what price.

But even so, it is still cheaper than a non-staple food store.

This makes their scarce variety of goods have an attractiveness that ordinary people can't refuse.

It was almost 09:30 when they opened for the first sale that day.

A master who was just wandering around with nothing to do opened the shop door.

Here it is, a 50-year-old male with a bald head and a thin face.

He was wearing a hurdle vest and big trousers, and a pair of white-edged cloth shoes on his feet.

Fanning the wind with a big straw hat in one hand, and a net of cucumbers and tomatoes in the other.

The standard lower Liba image, in the words of 30 years later, is a dick and a greasy uncle.

Nothing to say, it must be that I lived nearby to go shopping in the vegetable market and came home. I stumbled across the newly opened store on the way, and came in for a stroll out of curiosity.

To say that as the first customer in the store, the spectrum is big enough, and he entered the door carelessly.

First, he looked up and down at the young people behind the counter, and then he looked around.

Until Liu Wei took the initiative to greet him several times, "Comrade, what do you want to buy?"

He finally asked the price, and then paid for a bottle of Erguotou and a box of "Badaling".

The most amazing thing is that after shopping, this person started to train the Master.

What he said was particularly unpleasant, and it made people feel bored.

"Are you individual?"

"correct."

"Do you have a license?"

"Yes, I have."

"Then why didn't I see you hanging out?"

Zhang Shihui heard something was wrong, so he pulled his daughter-in-law down, and he interrupted.

"Want to see our license? That's fine! But you are in the tax department of industry and commerce? Take a look at your work permit."

"Hey, you're young, you're smart enough to talk! Let me tell you, you have to be honest when doing business. If you dare to fool the common people, be careful to put a seal on you..."

"Hey, what do you mean? What happened to us? You made it clear..."

"I, I will give you a vaccination. How many individuals are not cheating now? Let's talk about the ugly thing, the cigarettes and alcohol I bought from you today are cheap, but if there are problems with the things, I can't turn around." I'm looking for you..."

Saying this, he picked up his things and opened the door and left.

Zhang Shihui was so angry that he almost chased him out and scolded him.

The others also looked at each other.

I said it in my heart, if I say people are cheap, he will not be happy if he takes advantage of it.

How can I achieve my first business today, and it is really frustrating to meet such an unhappy person.

And when the second order is completed, it will be nearly ten o'clock.

This time, three people who were about the same age as Ning Weimin came here to ask if the beer was coming.

I heard that there was no beer, so I asked Osmanthus Chen.

He asked if there were any cigarettes in Changle, and then asked about the big front door.

In the end, I heard that there were none, so I complained one by one.

"Dude, what kind of store are you talking about? In such a big place, there is nothing but these things!"

"That's right, how do you make money by doing this business? What you sell is too low-grade. You can't sell it to friends outside..."

"I said, since you are a private business, it's okay if you are not casual? You can't be more deadly than the state-run business!"...

This time it was Ning Weimin who responded.

"Brothers, what you said is correct. We don't have the beer, wine, and high-end cigarettes you want here. They are all ordinary things that can't be more ordinary. But our things are cheap here, which can help you save money. Ah. If you want to buy two of our badalings, you can save a box of big front doors, isn’t it worth it? I know you don’t care about this, but the little things add up. Maybe you can save a bicycle in the long run. ..."

Having said that, the three young men were overjoyed, only to find that the prices of the items at the counter were indeed cheaper than those in the non-staple food store.

One of the three was tempted.

"So cheap? Are your things not defective?"

"Look at it casually. If there is a problem with something, you can take whatever you want from my store."

"Drink, such a big breath! Well, then you can get me a 'Qingquan' to see, my dad usually smokes this..."

After hearing this, Ning Weimin not only quickly took out two cigarettes, but also tore off the seal of one cigarette.

Under the surprised eyes of the three boys, he took out a box and tore off the cigarette seal.

"See what you can see? Try them all, count me in."

As he spoke, he handed the cigarettes to the young men.

Under such circumstances, the young men couldn't refuse, so they took one of them.

They lit up and smoked, almost nodding together.

"Smoking is fine, it's just the smell..."

Then, what they didn't expect was to push the opened pack of cigarettes forward again.

"It's just opened today, if you make friends, I'll give it to you if it opens."

Now the three boys are happier.

Both thought it was a good deal, and also felt that Ning Weimin was quite frank and happy, and they had a good impression of him.

Young people usually value face more than money.

So when the three of them left, they felt that it was inappropriate not to buy anything else, so they asked for an extra bottle of Erguotou.

In this way, with such piecemeal business done.

After noon, the reputation of "Huimin Tobacco Hotel" passed through the residents unconsciously, and gained a good reputation in Huanghuamen Street.

In the afternoon, the number of customers suddenly increased.

Even the "bereaved master" who trained people for the first order this morning came back to take care of their business.

As for this visit, the bald man's attitude was different, and he sincerely praised Qiyan Hotel in public for its authenticity.

I lament that there are actually people who do business with integrity and do not lose their conscience.

Only then did Zhang Shihui know that this Ganqingsheng had the temperament of such an idiot.

Dare to say anything, say everything straight.

Facing this honest person who is faster than turning the pages of a book, it's really hard to get angry.
