The Industrial Kingdom of the Great Age

Chapter 78

The crowd dispersed, and Zhao Ming and Cheng Qingqing returned to the residence.It's just that Zhao Ming couldn't stay idle. After eating, he called the newspaper office to cancel the recruitment, and even called Commissioner Liu to inquire about his credentials.

After everything was done, it was already late at night, and Zhao Ming also fell asleep after reading a book for a while.

No matter how busy he is every day, Zhao Ming has a habit of reading a book for a while before going to bed.His memory is much better than that of ordinary people, and his mind is flexible enough.If there is no accumulation of rich knowledge, the stamina is not enough to be comparable to other engineers.

Since the goal is to be the world's first-class engineer, it is natural to have extraordinary knowledge and creativity.Reading is one of the best ways to acquire knowledge, while thinking can enhance his creative thinking ability.

He had an adventure before, and his memory was much higher than that of ordinary people, and he almost always had a photographic memory, and his thinking ability was far beyond ordinary people.With such good conditions, he naturally wouldn't give up.Even he can run a shop and make a sandblasting machine and so on, all because of his broad mind.

The next day, Zhao Ming got up early, and Cheng Qingqing also stopped many classes because the holiday was approaching, so she had more time to take care of the store with Zhao Ming.

When they came to the store, the two found that other employees had also arrived early, even Uncle Lin, Aunt Fat and others were chatting.

"Morning boss."

"Good morning, Boss Zhao."

"Boss, it's really early."

Everyone greeted Zhao Ming one after another, and Zhao Ming also responded one after another. When he came to the counter, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and said: "Today we will go to buy goods, everyone, I have already rented a few sets of three Wheel truck. Going together is a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with the process and assign work.”

"Boss, you have the final say."

"It's what you say."

"Purchase, I haven't tried spending a lot of money yet."

"Haha, it's not for you to spend money."

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was somewhat harmonious.

Uncle Lin said: "Xiao Zhao, I actually have a worry. It doesn't matter if we open a store, but is there a way for us to get a business license and other documents?"

The others all showed signs of worry when they heard the words, but don't pass the interview, but declare closure without going to work on the first day.

Zhao Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry about that, these certificates have already been processed, and we can get them today. And we will get a lot of convenience when we go shopping."

Zhao Ming pointed to the sky, winked and added in a very mysterious way, "There is someone above me."

Everyone looked at the roof one after another, wondering: "This is a rented room on the first floor, and there are floors above, so there are naturally people."

Zhao Ming: "..."

Afterwards, Zhao Ming just left the two girls to look after the store, and the others followed the car to buy.

A few tricycles were purchased according to the distance of the industrial zone. Zhao Ming followed one, and Uncle Lin, Aunt Fatty, and Chen Mei each followed one.Even Cheng Qingqing followed one car, and the others were assigned to it.

Several cars drove out and came to major industrial areas to sweep goods.

Except for Zhao Ming, everyone originally thought that when they went to the industrial zone, they would go shopping as usual. Shopping was not taken seriously, and the price would be cut back and forth.But when they went there, they found that things were different from what they used to be.

When the bosses in the industrial zone saw them sweeping the goods, they were willing to sell them at a lower price.And very enthusiastic, and also signed some contracts for long-term cooperation.

After all the goods came back at noon, many people told what they had seen and heard.Only then did they discover that it wasn't just them who got the benefits and privileges, but the owner of their store.

Everyone looked at Zhao Ming, but what they got was an inscrutable smile.

"Don't think too much, hurry up and put the goods on the shelves according to the labels I put on them. I made a partition in that small room as a storage room, and put the extra goods in it."

Zhao Ming began to arrange for people to put the goods in order, while he was looking at the list.On the first day, even if they were divided into several teams to purchase, they would not be able to buy them all at once.

"Xiao Zhao, didn't you say that this store also has food besides what you use? Why is it different?" Uncle Lin looked at the daily necessities on the shelves. There were even toothpicks and toothbrushes, but there was nothing else to eat. What Zhao Ming said did not match what Zhao Ming said before.

Zhao Ming smiled wryly and said: "We only went out for a morning, how could we buy all of them? We will go out later, this time we will mainly buy food and drinks, and I will leave these two aspects to you. I will go shopping for the New Year's Eve Some red envelopes and couplet candles."

Everyone's eyes brightened. The Chinese New Year is still more than a month away. If they have more goods that are needed for the Chinese New Year, maybe they can sell them?

"Okay, everyone hurry up and try to get most of the goods back today, and we will officially open tomorrow." Zhao Ming acted vigorously and resolutely, so that the employees who were already a little tired were instantly refreshed.

The teams all went out, Zhao Ming called Cheng Qingqing, Uncle Lin and others alone, and said with a smile: "I will give you a task. These are the purchase price lists of the goods. You can calculate them according to the above prices, all of which are based on the original basis." Increase the price by 30.00%, and then sell this as our selling price."

Uncle Lin was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Xiao Zhao, the price is not a joke. Your increase of 30.00% is a lot. Although we get [-]% or [-]% cheaper than the market, but you directly increase the price by [-]%, how can others Will you accept it?"

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "You are right. This price is only temporary and will be adjusted in the future."

Uncle Lin and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words. Fortunately, Zhao Ming listened.

Zhao Ming continued: "In the future, the price may be doubled or tripled. If it is only increased by [-]%, I will lose too much."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and Uncle Lin jumped even more anxiously.Thirty percent is already daunting, but Zhao Ming wants to double it?
They still wanted to say something, but Zhao Ming didn't give them a chance to speak.In fact, pricing is an art and knowledge.High-cost ones can increase the selling price by a few percent, and ultra-low prices can be doubled.

After that, Zhao Ming also went out to purchase, but not all of his purchases could be purchased at low market prices.These are all goods that have not been greeted by the people above, but Zhao Ming proposed a long-term cooperation and a large number of purchases, hoping to get a discount.

In the end, the manufacturer also agreed. It is rare for someone to purchase such a large amount of goods at one time. They are naturally willing to discount, and it is not just one time, and they will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

When it was almost time to get off work, Zhao Ming was the last to come back.He happily brought the goods back, but seeing the ugly faces of the employees, his brows were slightly frowned.

"What's the matter with you? You don't seem very happy." Zhao Ming looked at the employees and asked, "Wu Zhong, what's going on?"

Wu Zhong said angrily: "Boss, you asked us to buy drinks. Others are easy to talk about, but the manufacturer of Coca-Cola refuses to sell them to us."

Zhao Ming frowned and said, "Aren't you willing to sell? Don't do it if you have business? It doesn't make sense. Even if there is no discount, they shouldn't refuse to sell it."

Wu Zhong said angrily: "They were very happy when they heard that we were going to buy a large amount of canned Coke. At first, some people didn't know us and thought we were an agent. But they heard that we are a department store that appeared on the newspaper recently. After that, they refused to sell it. They said that if we went bankrupt, it would affect their brand.”

Others also showed anger when they heard the words. It's only been one day, and we already have a sense of belonging to this New Zealand department store.It is impossible for the cola manufacturer to sell the goods to them, which makes them very angry.

Zhao Ming frowned even more, and said: "Impossible, if other domestic brands are unwilling to sell it, and it is reasonable to say that if the Coke manufacturer does not sell it, this is the most impossible. They should know What the presence of our store represents."

Zhao Ming pondered. He didn't believe that Coca-Cola manufacturers refused to sell Coke to him. After all, this is a well-known foreign brand. They should know that the store model will not lose money.

Even if they, Mr. Liu and others think this method is feasible, it is still unknown whether it will be successful in the newly opened environment of the mainland.They shouldn't be refusing to sell either.

"Was it a Chinese or a foreigner who refused to sell Coke to you at that time?" Zhao Ming asked with a frown.

Wu Zhong said angrily: "Of course it's Chinese, and he said he doesn't want to do business with you. I want you to know that there are people in this world that you can't afford to offend."

Zhao Ming showed a strange look. It seemed that the person had a grudge against him, not against the store.

"What's his name?" Zhao Ming frowned.

Wu Zhongdao: "His name is Xu Bai, and he is the director of the sales department. I told him that I want to see their manager. But he said that our purchase volume is too small and he is not qualified to meet, and he will not sell to us."

Speaking of this, Wu Zhong and the others showed shame and indignation.This Xu Baitai is a bully.

"Xu Bai?" Chen Mei frowned slightly, and suddenly said in surprise, "He is Manager Miao's cousin."

Zhao Ming was taken aback, and said, "Manager Miao? Why is it him again?"

Others who were old colleagues with Zhao Ming smiled helplessly and shook their heads. Manager Miao could be involved anywhere.It seems that the higher-ups have greeted the coke manufacturer, but Xu Bai's personal reason for refusing to sell it to him.

Chen Mei murmured: "He should help Manager Miao take revenge on you. I know Manager Miao's daughter quite well, so I know him. Shall I go to him and beg for mercy?"

Zhao Ming directly shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just let him go."

After saying this, Zhao Ming came to the side, picked up the newly installed phone, and asked, "Uncle Lin, have you got the business license?"

Uncle Lin and the others showed a smile, and hurriedly said: "Come down, you go before noon, and someone will bring you back. They are all cadres, you really have connections."

Zhao Ming nodded, and murmured: "The real connections are counted now."

After all, he dialed Commissioner Liu's phone number.
