National Tide 1980.

Chapter 500 Ambush Circle

Facts quickly proved how correct these decisions made by Ning Weimin were.

First, when the various handicrafts he mastered were sold in the five tourist shops operated by Tiantan Park.

The shopping enthusiasm of foreign tourists has also shown a completely opposite state from the past.

Obviously, these new handicrafts are very popular with tourists from all over the world, which has been widely proved in the whole park.

So soon, the business conditions of the five stores, which had already been so cold at home, quickly improved significantly, and finally had the warmth of the hot summer.

Needless to say, this change is in stark contrast to those cultural relic shops that moved from Liulichang and still can only rely on real calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and the Four Treasures of the Study to attract foreigners.

Especially a week later, when the approximate business data of the five stores was sent to Da Lao Liu.

The intuitive profit data made this big director unconvinced, and he couldn't control his ecstasy.

To be honest, although he also knew that the store was booming and he made the right move, he never expected it to be so prosperous.

You know, out of prudence, he only let the store add 15.00% to the profit.

As a result, in such a short few days, the sales were close to [-], and the five stores made a profit of [-].

Among them, 1 yuan was settled in foreign exchange certificates.

And the key is that foreigners don't think it's expensive yet, and everyone is smiling and full of interest when paying the bill.

Fortunately, he still felt that Ning Weimin was too dark-hearted, worried that the price of things would be too high to sell.

Only now did I realize that I was actually too blind.

Don't look young, but he is from a foreign company, and he has fully understood the temper of foreigners.

What else is there to say?Hurry up and adjust the price, it will be a loss if you sell it like this.

If the price is raised even higher, a monthly income of [-] won’t be a dream!

In this way, a week later, the prices in the state stores jumped up again.

Da Lao Liu is rough on the outside and not rough on the inside. He played a little tricky and deliberately left a price gap of 5.00% with Zhai Gong.

Therefore, the business of his five stores is still booming, the volume of goods sold has hardly declined, but the profit has successfully climbed proportionally.

Although this caused strong dissatisfaction among some domestic tourists, he didn't care.

And on the contrary, because of this, I admire Ning Weimin's foresight even more from the bottom of my heart.

You know, the Price Bureau received a letter of complaint from someone who sued the tourist store in the Temple of Heaven Park to raise prices at will, and the prices of handicrafts were outrageous.

Naturally, someone had to be sent to Tiantan Park to understand the situation, but the cooperation method of consignment made Tiantan Garden clean and innocent, and there was no need to be responsible for it.

Big boss Liu Ke didn't feel scared at all, on the contrary, he was reasonable, and he directly talked to the two comrades from the Price Bureau.

"Comrade, you don't understand this situation. We don't have invoices for purchases, only receipts for receipt. These are other things, and we just sell them on our behalf. Whose goods? Pierre Carton. Hey, yes Well, just the French clothing company, the one that advertises every day after the "News Network" every day."

"Didn't they rent our fasting palace to set up a clothing exhibition hall? We also jointly organized the garden party for the Spring Festival at the beginning of this year. Now we are also working with the District Service Bureau to prepare a palace restaurant. This project, It should be regarded as a key commercial project in our district."

"Do you want to get to know the situation with them? I can make a call for you now to find out if Manager Ning is in the Zhai Palace or in the palace restaurant preparation team?" Ah, no hurry, let's talk first?Okay, ask for my opinion, I have to say that these things are not expensive at all. "

"Why do you say that? Let's think about it first. How much is a piece of Pierre Carton's clothes? You may say that a set of Pierre Carton's suits in the Zhai Palace cost five or six hundred, which is bought by ordinary people. Why did no one mention it? Because everyone knows that this kind of clothes are mainly produced to sell to foreigners. How rich is the big nose.”

"In fact, these things are the same. They are not produced for ordinary people to buy. Haven't you seen that these foreigners like these things so much! They are so happy to pay for them, are they happy? No one said they were expensive! Besides, these things were originally expensive. There is no standard price. Materials, craftsmanship, and levels are different. Just like the calligraphy, painting and porcelain in those cultural relic shops, some are dozens of yuan, some are hundreds, or even thousands. You say, They are all calligraphy and paintings, and they are all porcelain, so what is the difference? If someone says it is expensive, should the price bureau take care of it or not?"

"If you look at this stuff again, you can compare it just by looking at it. Where else can you buy silk dolls like this? It's almost 100% realistic, just like the outfits of Peking Opera. Have you ever seen them? I have never seen it before. And there are glass grapes like this, are they lifelike? You don’t believe they are made of glass, right? Look at the grape leaves, they are as beautiful as gems! The beauty of these things is not produced by our own factory something comparable."

"If you don't believe me, take a look. Here, the cloisonné pendants, commemorative plates, and medals are produced by the enamel factory in our district. Such glass clips, feeder chickens, and feeder dogs are products of the Jingcheng feeder factory. There are wooden combs, paper fans, porcelain vases, and porcelain pen holders. These are all domestic products. Cheap is cheap, and you can buy them for a few cents, a few yuan, or a dozen yuan at most. Otherwise, this is The gap. I suspect that these things from Peel Carton are all produced in foreign countries.”

"I didn't say it, but we ordinary people are too whiny. You should know this best. Every day you say that this is expensive and that is expensive, and you write letters to the newspaper endlessly every day to increase the price of vegetables. Well, complaining that the government is not good at doing things. Are you annoying? So let me tell you, these tourism products are essentially commodities traded in foreign exchange. Yes, it’s okay to find something.”

"Let me tell you the truth from the bottom of my heart. These things, no matter how good they are, are meaningless to us. What's the use of looking good? We're going to make a house, where can we put it? Broken tables It’s not the case that the chairs are used for these things. Is it? These things can only be placed in the big villas of foreigners.”

"For us, what is the most useful thing? Only eating is the most practical. Chewing big fish and meat, and sipping wine, that is the visible enjoyment. Buying these things is a waste of money. With this Money, buy some watermelon and sour plum soup for the wife and children at home. I don’t believe it, tell our master, if he dares to bring these things home, his hometown will forgive him? This is called pretending grandson……"

In this way, the two comrades in the Price Bureau were all amused by the "heart-to-heart truth" of the old man Liu.

They very much agree with him.

So this matter is over, and there is no further follow-up.

On the other hand, the five shops in Tiantan Park are booming day by day.

As for Da Lao Liu himself, in addition to not having to be criticized anymore, he was commended by the director with a smile on his face, and because of this, he gained a good reputation at the grassroots level.

For nothing else, everyone's bonuses have all gone up.

Therefore, all the employees in the garden, whether overtly or secretly, almost all spoke well of Director Liu.

Isn't this a good leader who does practical things for everyone?

Shouldn't this be supported and loved by everyone?
Also, don't look at the five shops in Tiantan Park that have been brought back to life by selling Ning Weimin's handicrafts.

But quite unexpectedly, the diversion of customers by so many stores did not have much real impact on the business performance of Zhai Palace.

why?
This is mainly due to the emotional tendency of travel agency tour guides, in which they played a very critical role in guiding customers.

As the saying goes, people don't kill themselves, everyone will plan for themselves.

Just like Ning Weimin knew very well in his heart that being able to use Pierre Carton's resources to do things for him was far more comfortable and easier than fighting alone in society.

The tour guides are not stupid. Everyone knows that foreign tourists can get more by shopping in the shops of the Zhai Palace.

The economic accounts in their hearts are absolutely clear.

If a customer spends 1000 yuan in a state-run store, instead of spending 1000 yuan in a fasting palace.

Then my income can be reduced by nearly 20 yuan, not to mention that the time to get the money is different.

In this year, no tour guide is willing to bear such a huge loss.

So although it is most convenient to take guests to buy things in the shops in the main attractions of the Temple of Heaven.

But most tour guides are unwilling to covet this convenience, and still hope that tourists' money will be spent in the shops of the Zhai Palace.

Therefore, once it is found that the customer has a shopping tendency in the store on the park side.

Especially when enthusiastic customers want to buy large items, such as silk figurines, feeding utensils and bionic porcelain.

These tour guides can't help advising customers "out of kindness" that they should "shop around".

Then I started fooling around, saying that I would take everyone to the internal store of the Zhai Palace, where the goods are more complete, the craftsmanship is more exquisite, and the quality is guaranteed.

Needless to say, foreign tourists don't even understand the language in the capital, so of course they are confused and can't find the north.

They can't figure out whether there is an essential difference between the shops in the Zhai Palace and the shops in the park.

What's more, foreigners in this era generally think that Chinese people are very kind and simple, and it is very easy to develop a sense of trust in our domestic tour guides.

In addition, most of the foreigners who can come to China for tourism are of the nature of business tourism, and they don't care much about the price.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, foreign tourists will follow the advice of the tour guide and make a special trip to shop in the fasting palace for consumption.

Even if someone can't restrain the urge to consume on the spot, he will definitely leave a bit of trouble for the tour guide afterwards, and he will still go shopping in the shops of the Zhai Palace and buy some things.

In this way, the tour guides of the travel agency are completely self-taught, and they have mastered the ability to use words to induce tourists to spend.

Even soon, some people have begun to change the original tour program to actively guide foreign tourists to spend.

For example, it is more convenient for guests to visit from the north gate or south gate.

But the tour guide asked the driver to detour to the west gate and drive in the car. After getting off the car, he would take the guests to the Zhai Palace store for shopping.

After shopping, we will take the tourists around the Circular Mound, and then start to visit the main attractions of the Temple of Heaven.

As the saying goes, the prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the world is full of hustle and bustle for profit.

Such a change is driven by profit-seeking.

Tour guides who can do this have obviously begun to break through the shackles of the times, and have the characteristics of a market economy ahead of time.

When they led the tourists to the Zhai Palace store according to the plan in the itinerary, it was like the little shepherd boy in the movie leading the Japanese devils and traitors to the ambush circle where the landmines were buried.

Their goals are very clear, and there is only one thing on their minds.

If you don't blow up all the money in the foreigner's pocket and keep it, you will never give up!

The most amazing thing is that the five shops in Tiantan Park have no complaints or dissatisfaction with the tour guide's operation, which is similar to dismantling the stage.

Because in addition to the fact that the salesperson's foreign language level is not good enough, he can't understand the conversation between tourists and tour guides.

What's more, under the current situation, only the Temple of Heaven Park is the only scenic spot where these tour guides can get kickbacks.

For the tour guides, even if the state-run stores give less, it is much better than the clear water and white soup in other places.

Then in order to earn extra money, tour guides will definitely give priority to recommending foreign tourists to visit Tiantan Park.

As far as the park is concerned, even if it is only considered that the tour guides have brought more and more foreign tourists to the Temple of Heaven Park.

It can make the growth rate of foreign tourists in the forefront of the city's parks and expand the ticket revenue of the Temple of Heaven.

The tour guides have benefited the park a lot, which can completely offset their tricks.

What's more, the shops in the park are all in the main scenic spots. As long as more and more people come here, the turnover will naturally be guaranteed.

Even in the process of serving guests, tour guides have a phenomenon of favoring one over another, after all, it is impossible to guard against death and convince all customers.

The key lies in the main interests, which are completely consistent with each other and mutually beneficial.

Yes, if you don't understand this crucial reason, even the tourism bureau will be confused.

I don't know why the Temple of Heaven Park, which is full of forests besides the temples, is more popular with foreign tourists than the beautiful and diverse Beihai. The Summer Palace, which is more famous than the carved beams and painted buildings, is more attractive to foreign tourists.

Needless to say, it was precisely because of this that Ning Weimin's worries about the unstable mentality of the staff in the fasting palace disappeared.

He finally realized that he was worrying too much. In this day and age, the good news is that the cake is too big.

The tourism market itself is thriving with a high-speed development trend.

What's more, he is at the forefront of the times and has already received the full support and help of the tour guides.

So in the environment of more and more tourists, the turnover of Zhai Palace can not only keep from falling, but even have room for further growth.

But now, because of the professional evaluation, the employees have also opened up the grades in terms of grades and basic wages.

This, on the contrary, inspired the aggressiveness of the girls in the fasting palace.

It has to be said that Ning Weimin's action arrangement finally showed a happy situation, which was much better than what he had expected earlier.

If we have to say that there is something unsatisfactory, I am afraid that the only problem left is the insufficient production of tourism products.

But this is not something that can be solved overnight.

After all, it takes time to develop manpower and skills.

What Ning Weimin can do is to try his best to urge his suppliers to quickly recruit workers and increase production as much as possible while ensuring quality.

And the purchase price of some products has been increased accordingly to promote everyone's enterprising spirit and enthusiasm.

Frankly speaking, he really tasted the benefits of dominating the business now.

Under the background of today's era, it is really easy to form a monopoly on some small commodities that do not affect the national economy and people's livelihood.
