The Industrial Kingdom of the Great Age

Chapter 73 Decorating the Department Store
Uncle Lin thought for a while and said, "My daughter doesn't have a job for the time being, and she plans to find a job after she gets married. If you need someone, she can count as one."

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "I've already thought about Miss Xiaowei. Usually, she and Xiaoqing can work as cashiers in shifts, or when both of them are at work, one can be a cashier and the other a salesperson. In short, let them coordinate. "

Uncle Lin nodded, looking at Zhao Ming with satisfaction and gratitude in his eyes.The reason he likes Zhao Ming is because Zhao Ming is very enthusiastic about people and thinks about it. He did not expect that he had considered Lin Weier.

Even though Uncle Lin is still worried about this department store, his heart is still warm.Aunt Lin felt the same way. Even if she was worried that the department store would not succeed, she was still happy for Zhao Ming's considerate personality.

"It seems that there are no suitable candidates except Miss Xiaowei and Xiaoqing, so let's post a notice to recruit people." Zhao Ming made a final decision, and Uncle Lin naturally would not object.

After the two continued to talk about the store, Zhao Ming went home directly.He doesn't have manpower, and he wants to recruit people as soon as possible. I'm afraid it's not good to post a notice outside the store alone.

The best way is to advertise in newspapers or radio stations, but it seems a bit unworthy to spend a fortune on advertising just to recruit people.

Suddenly Zhao Ming thought of Commissioner Liu, the boss of the city government compound once said that the pilot store could be given the green light for him, and as long as it does not violate the laws and policies, he will still be given some help.

It seems that now is the opportunity.

Zhao Ming picked up the phone and called Commissioner Liu directly to explain that he was short of people and wanted to advertise in newspapers or radio stations and asked him to reimburse him.

Commissioner Liu was speechless for a while, and he had to advertise to recruit a few people, but since he wanted to give Zhao Ming the green light, he would not be stingy about this.

"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to add an advertisement for you on the recruitment section of Nanfang Daily that you often appear in. You tell me your contact information and requirements, and I'll ask my old classmates to put it up." Committee member Liu told the "Nanfang Daily" The bosses of Nanfang Daily are old schoolmates who can talk.

Zhao Ming was relieved by Committee Member Liu's words, and quickly explained the request to him. At the same time, it was also a reminder that this should be done quickly, and it would be best for everyone to see it tomorrow.

Commissioner Liu is also a very efficient person, and he called back an hour later to tell Zhao Ming that the matter was done.

At night, Cheng Qingqing and Zhao Ming were eating, and seeing that Zhao Ming's eyes were out of focus, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Ming was taken aback, then came back to his senses, and said, "I'm thinking, if this store makes too much money, how should I spend it?"

Cheng Qingqing spat at him and said: "It's really shameless, you don't know if your store will be successful. To be honest, I still don't think your store will be successful. After all, your prices are much higher than those in industrial areas. Everyone They are all hardworking people, why would they spend a lot of money to buy this from you?"

Zhao Ming shook his head with a smile, and said, "You don't understand, forget it, I won't explain it to you. After dinner, I'm going to buy a tricycle to transport goods."

"Is it a bicycle?"

"No, oil truck."

"So much money?"

"I'm still worried that one is not enough, let's use it first."

The two were chatting one after another, the meal was finished, Cheng Qingqing cleaned up, and Zhao Ming was going out, he needed to buy a tricycle.

……

The next day, Zhao Ming drove a tricycle to his store on Xilan Street early.This morning, Cheng Qingqing also came along, just to help him decorate the store together.

Even though she didn't believe that Zhao Ming would succeed, she still wanted to help.

The nearby hardware shop sent a designed shelf. Seeing Zhao Mingzheng, he greeted him: "Boss Zhao, these things have been done, what needed to help?"

Zhao Ming thought for a while, handed everyone a cigarette, and said at the same time: "Then please help me put this shelf here, then this one here, and then this one there ..."

Since these people want to help, Zhao Ming will not be polite, and directly arrange the entire store according to the format he wants.Those people were originally polite, but they were too embarrassed to refuse Zhao Ming's cigarettes.

Then, with the joint efforts of Zhao Ming and Cheng Qingqing, these people arranged the entire store, and it took an hour for it to be completely arranged.

Although those workers were not tired, they were also a little upset.

After the work was done, they also planned to leave directly, and secretly decided in their hearts that they would never come here again.

"Brothers, come and smoke a cigarette." Zhao Ming naturally saw the dissatisfaction in these people's hearts, but he couldn't help it. If he and Cheng Qingqing were to arrange it, they might have to work until night.

Several people accepted the cigarettes with complicated eyes, and were about to leave without saying thank you, but Zhao Ming thanked them, and at the same time each of them stuffed a pack of cigarettes.

This is not a stick, but a pack.

A pack of cigarettes is not cheap, it costs one yuan.They originally wanted to bring in shelves and the like, even if they were not responsible for the layout, it would take some time.But now they can get a pack of cigarettes just by helping with the arrangement, which is almost half a day's wages, and they usually don't smoke such expensive cigarettes.

Immediately, several people were very grateful to Zhao Ming, thanked them one after another, and at the same time patted their chests to promise that they would never hesitate to ask them for anything in the future.

"Boss Zhao, actually I have been wondering for a long time. It is that your place is arranged like a maze, do you plan to put anything? The steel around us does not need to be placed with these things." An employee asked puzzled.

The other workers also nodded one after another. They smoked and kept looking at the shelves they had put out, very puzzled.

Zhao Ming didn't intend to hide it either. After all, his recruitment notices were published in newspapers, so he must tell others what he does here.

He said: "I plan to use this storefront as a big store. These steel frames are shelves, and the daily necessities that everyone needs will be placed on them. It can be for food or use, in short, everything."

The worker asked casually, "Is there a TV there?"

"..." Zhao Ming's face darkened, could he not mention the TV?

A worker's eyes lit up, and he said, "That means your place sells nail clippers? And toothpicks?"

Zhao Ming nodded with a smile, and said, "In addition to these, you will have everything you need every day. You can buy things that you can't think of on weekdays here."

Several people looked at each other with excitement on their faces. If so, it was really convenient.

But one of the workers asked, "Will the price be higher?"

The others also frowned slightly, looking at Zhao Ming with questioning eyes.Obviously they are also very concerned about this issue.

Zhao Ming nodded with a smile and said, "I'm not going to hide it from you, the price must be a little bit more expensive than the industrial park. It costs us to buy goods, and it also costs to sell this store, and it also costs to hire someone to manage the store. If you don't It seems unreasonable to make a little money. It’s like you are acting as a sales agent in an industrial area near here, and the price is a little more expensive, right?”

A few people were silent, the fact is, but whether it is really just a little price increase, only then will we know.

They are actually not optimistic about this store. Others' specialized sales points are successful, but they have never heard of this store.And the price increase is simply incomprehensible.

Others' sales agents do not increase the price or increase the price very little, which is negligible.It is equivalent to joining the manufacturer, earning money, and the two parties share it together, which is equivalent to the agent being the facade sales point of the manufacturer.

One has no price increase, the other has a price increase, and the price should not be low.I am afraid that normal people think that the one with a high price increase will definitely fail.

The store that Zhao Ming mentioned is the one with a high price increase. Who would go to the store to buy something with a high price?No one will, right?

The worker said with a smile: "Boss Zhao, I'm not looking for bad luck for you. No matter how low your mark-up is, it's still higher than the sales agent. I don't think you can compete with specialized sales agents. I'm afraid no one is willing to spend a Dime to buy a handbag that was only worth five cents?"

The others also laughed, and they thought so too.It wouldn't be so stupid to give them almost double the price to buy this item.

Cheng Qingqing frowned slightly behind Zhao Ming. She actually meant this, but she didn't say it out of fear of hurting Zhao Ming's confidence.

In the end, these workers laughed and left. They didn't mean any harm, they just thought that the store would not be successful.Who would covet convenience and a higher price to buy something that was originally cheap?

It's impossible to think about it!
Zhao Ming didn't answer them, but he was thinking in his heart: I'm afraid people around here wouldn't spend a few hours running to the handbag industrial zone to buy a five-cent handbag, would they?

Next, Zhao Ming and Cheng Qingqing were waiting in the store. He needed someone to see the recruitment notice on the "Nanfang Daily" and come to him to apply for the job.Today will be his day for interviewing others, and I'm afraid he will be very busy.

While Zhao Ming was waiting, "Nanfang Daily" was released, and almost everyone had a copy.Many people read the newspaper as usual, laughing or crying, sad or unmoved by the news.

Everything was going on as normal, and some people saw Zhao Ming's top recruitment notice on the recruitment section of the newspaper.

"Sincerely invite comrades with ideals and aspirations to join our Xilan Street Department Store, and now we are recruiting..."

The final payment is Zhao Ming, followed by his store address and phone number.

Someone saw it and filtered it directly.Some people shook their heads in confusion, what is a department store?Then look away.

However, some people who are more sensitive to the name Zhao Ming and some melon eaters who don't know the truth widened their eyes, and at the same time, the discussion started.
