Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 686: The First Branch in the Mainland

Liang Wei Bo acted quickly. After a trip to Sijiu City, he decided on the store and the land. He bought the store according to Lu Jiaxin's request, and started construction as soon as the land was acquired. At the same time, he began to recruit workers from the society. Among them, the salary of the jewelry master was very high. If you can apply successfully, one month's salary is equivalent to half a year's salary of an ordinary worker. In addition, there are bonuses and annual leave. Of course, you have to be successful in the application. High remuneration must correspond to high requirements.

Because of the high salary, many people came to apply for the job. In the end, eight people were hired. One of the older masters was a craftsman employed by the Imperial Household Department. His craftsmanship was impeccable, and Wufu Jewelry offered him a salary of 1,200 yuan per month. Of course, there was also a requirement, which was to take apprentices. It was not necessary to teach the apprentices all the skills that were hidden in the box, but to teach them the skills that could be used.

After two months of planning, Wufu Jewelry opened its first branch in the mainland in late July. In the traditional way, Wufu Jewelry advertised in magazines and had people distribute flyers. Liang Wei Bo originally wanted to advertise on TV, but was rejected by Lu Jiaxin, who simply increased the intensity of flyer distribution.

Many movies and TV series under the name of Wanjia Films are broadcast in the mainland. Therefore, the brochure also printed the portraits of these movie and TV series wearing Wufu jewelry. The 1990s was when the Chinese people were chasing after the Hong Kong circle, and many people were moved when they saw this promotion.

There was a discount in the first three days of the opening, 18% off, and a free necklace for every 500 yuan spent. With strong publicity before, many people came on the opening day. Fortunately, Wufu Jewelry is a mature company and has considered all kinds of situations in advance.

Lu Hongjun had heard the news long ago, and took the bus here after breakfast. He came to show his support, but he saw many people standing outside the door. He was very surprised, and walked up to ask, "Isn't this store opening today? Why can't you let me in?"

The young man who was stopped had a good attitude and said with a smile: "There are too many people. The manager of this store said that only 200 people can enter at a time, and the time limit is half an hour."

The Wufu Jewelry branch is very large, with two floors, each floor is more than 300 square meters. The area is relatively large, but there are only 40 sales staff, so they can't let too many people in, otherwise they will be unable to greet them and something might go wrong.

Lu Hongjun was stunned: "So many people are buying it?"

The young man smiled and said, "Of course. The earrings, necklaces and bracelets that Wendy wears are all from Wufu Jewelry."

Lu Hongjun thought about it and realized that he had never heard anyone mention Wendy. Just when he was about to ask who Wendy was, the staff of Wufu Jewelry came over with ice cream and distributed it to everyone.

Seeing someone trying to grab the tickets, the security guard next to the staff immediately stopped them and asked them to go back to the queue. How could they dare to send them out in such a mess? If they all rushed to grab the tickets, something might happen.

It was still quite hot in July. Lu Hongjun looked at the long queue in front of him and felt that he could not get in, so he turned around and went back.

During dinner, Lu Hongjun told Lu Jiaguang and his wife about the grand scene at Wufu Jewelry Store: "There were many people squatting at the door of the store. The store said that they were worried about accidents, so they only let 200 people in. The people behind them lined up. A few more people came out, and then more were let in."

Eating alone at home was tasteless, so Lu Hongjun had dinner at Lu Jiaguang's place. There was no other way, because of the conflict in breakfast time, Lu Jiaguang and his wife rarely went home for lunch, so they could only eat together in the evening.

Wang Xiaojie is at work today and plans to go back to see it after two days off. She didn’t expect Jiaxin’s jewelry company to be so popular: “That’s great. With such good business, we can make money.”

"Who is Wendy?"

The couple looked at each other and shook their heads. Lu Zhenzhen, who was still in the third year of junior high school, solved the mystery for them: "Wendy is the heroine of Legally Blonde. She is not only good at litigation, but also beautiful and wears nice clothes."

The year that Pretty Woman was released, she went to see it with her classmates on the weekend and liked the female characters in it very much. These women are independent and confident, and they don’t rely on men. They get what they want through their own efforts, which is completely different from domestic TV dramas and movies. Lu Hongjun understood immediately and said, "Are the jewelry worn by those female stars in the movie all bought by Wufu Jewelry?"

Lu Zhenzhen smiled and said, "It's not buying, it's sponsorship. It means providing jewelry or clothes for the characters in the movie to wear, and then the audience will buy them if they like them. It's a cooperative relationship."

Lu Hongjun felt that this approach was very dangerous. If the movie or TV series failed, the money invested would not be recovered.

Lu Jiaguang didn't want to talk about this. Jiaxin was good at doing business, and it was useless for them, who were not experts, to worry too much. He brought up a topic that Lu Hongjun was interested in: "Xiaojie, didn't you introduce Director Chen's niece to Lu Tao last time? How are the two of them getting along now?"

Wang Xiaojie said: "The two are dating. My second brother's wife is very anxious and wants him to get married soon. But the girl thinks it's too early to talk about marriage after just knowing each other for more than a month."

When Lu Hongjun heard this, he said, "Don't tell me that girl is hanging around with Lu Tao and is looking for another one."

Wang Xiaojie's expression suddenly turned ugly. She had asked someone to introduce her to him, so was he doubting her? She had done all this with good intentions, but ended up being blamed and questioned. Why did she bother?

Lu Jiaguang explained helplessly: "Uncle San, the girl just wants to spend more time together and get to know each other better, to see if the two of us are compatible in all aspects. I think this is great, it's the way to be responsible for your marriage."

Lu Hongjun didn't know much about their unit, so since Lu Jiaguang said it was okay, there shouldn't be any problem: "Jiaguang, Xiaojie, now that Jiajie has paid off Jiaxin's debt, can you help him arrange it?"

A family is not a good place without a woman to run it. Lu Jiajie is still young and will definitely remarry. It is better to marry early anyway, so that she can help take care of the two children. Although Lu Jiaguang and Wang Xiaojie are very good to the two children, there is no place better than home. This is why the brother and sister moved back home immediately after Lu Jiajie came back. In the eldest uncle's house, no matter how kind and amiable the uncle and aunt are, it is not their own home.

Wang Xiaojie said, "I asked Jiajie to find another one before, but he said that if he owed so much debt and wanted to marry someone, it would be a marriage fraud, so I didn't dare to ask anyone. How come he has figured it out now?"

"I had concerns before, but now that the debt has been paid off, these concerns no longer exist."

Wang Xiaojie didn't trust him, and said she still had to ask Lu Jiajie's opinion to make sure he really wanted to remarry: "With his current conditions, it wouldn't be a problem for him to find a virgin."

Lu Hongjun shook his head and said, "Jiajie said he doesn't want to find the eldest daughter of the Huang family. He wants to find a second-married woman with no children. That way he won't be afraid of being bad to Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng'er."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaojie was sure that he was not lying. Lu Jiajie really wanted to find it: "Okay, then I'll help you look for it. But if it's a second marriage, it's best to have another child so that the couple can be of one mind."

Lu Hongjun also asked this question. He smiled and said, "Jiajie said it's okay to have another child, but we have to wait until Xiaofeng'er is in junior high school."

"understood."
