Please make money.

"Yup!"

"Oh, ok, ok, ok, seeing so many cars, I thought I went the wrong way..."

Jin Fan said it casually, but he didn't expect the manager to frown immediately, which scared Jin Fan instead - did he say something wrong?

"Very valuable suggestions. The road signs are not clear... The placement and retrieval of shopping carts are unreasonable... It blocks the flow of traffic... Oh no, this won't work. The young lady said that we can't force the flow of traffic to make customers go around more and shop more... Hiss, thank you, thank you, we will redesign the signs and road signs."

"Oh - OK, OK... Well, I'll go and take a look, I'll go and take a look..."

Jin Fan ran away quickly and went into the supermarket, wanting to buy something to complete the bill.

But when he saw the price tags of the products, Jin Fan fell silent again.

Is there something wrong with the background program? Or did you make a mistake while printing?

There was a shopping guide standing nearby. After confirming that Jin Fan had doubts, he came over and said, "Hello, how can I help you?"

Jin Fan pointed at the price tag and said, "Did you make a mistake with this?"

The salesperson took out the same small notebook as the store manager like a magician and said as if facing a formidable enemy: "What's wrong? Can you give me some advice? Let me take a look!"

"This is the purchase price! Type out the purchase price! Although the one below is the selling price, they can't be typed together, right?"

"Oh, this is a new rule. All price tags must have the purchase price and the selling price printed out for customers to know."

“…After seeing the price difference, will anyone still come to shop?”

"Yes, don't you?"

"What you said makes sense - never mind, I have my reservations... So the purchase price of this thing is 71.4, and then after calculating the 89% purchase fee, the selling price is 19.77, so the gross profit margin is %?"

"Yes, isn't it all written there?"

"It's because it's all written down... Well, it's okay, it's okay, mine."

Jin Fan’s first reaction was that there was something wrong with the person in charge, or there was something wrong with his brain. His second reaction was that the person in charge seemed to be a young lady, so there was nothing wrong.

The third reaction is that this thing is very profitable, and the final reaction is that the purchase price of this thing is so high, that seems quite reasonable...

At first glance, the gross profit of 19.77% seems quite high, but the difference between 71 yuan and 89 yuan does not seem to be painful enough.

With mixed feelings, Jin Fan silently put the product in his shopping cart, and then asked, "Can I return it if it's not good? No questions asked within seven days?"

After asking, his ears turned red - embarrassed - is there a seven-day no-questions-asked return policy for offline purchases? And this is a large snack!

"Yes, of course. Even if you open it and find it unpalatable, you can return it."

"Ah? Is it possible to do this in other supermarkets as well?"

"Um... I don't know about other supermarkets. We couldn't do it before, but starting today, it's OK."

The salesgirl laughed awkwardly with him: "Haha, it's quite new, right? It's the first time for me to see it too, and I'm still learning..."

"Is this delicious?"

"It's a little sweet for me, but the milk flavor is very strong. If you like sweet food, I recommend you try it, but I don't recommend buying too much at one time."

It was the first time I saw a shopping guide telling me not to buy too much. How could I have an awkward conversation with him? I was waiting online and it was quite urgent.

Jin Fan, holding a shopping voucher worth 1,500 yuan, was a little confused. How to spend the money was also a difficult problem, so he could only make small talk.

"What a coincidence, you've tried this one, haha..."

"Yes, of course I have. I have tried all of these." The salesperson smacked her lips and showed a subtle expression: "I tried them all this morning. The eldest lady said that in the future, whoever is in charge of the merchandise section is not allowed to recommend products to customers if they have not tried them themselves."

"Isn't this nice?"

"The eight sisters who are selling rice next door are still eating..."

"...???"

235-Hold it, hold it, hold it

It sounds like a good idea to sell shopping guide experience products again.

But Jin Fan changed his mind and thought - some things - are not suitable to experience, right?

He cleared his throat, narrowly stopping himself from saying something before it came out, and replaced it with something else.

"You also want to experience cigarettes, alcohol, and so on?"

"No, for highly subjective products like cigarettes and alcohol, you don't need to experience them. After all, when people come to buy, they know what cigarettes or alcohol they want to buy, and rarely need recommendations - at most they just look at the price tag when giving gifts."

"Oh, I see. By the way, have you recommended it before?"

"No, when I was working as a cashier, a customer bought a big bag of bananas, and I said something similar to the customer, and then..."

“And what did the guest say?”

"The customer didn't buy anything." The salesgirl smiled delicately: "I was even criticized by the store manager."

Jin Fan blinked: "What about now?"

"I don't know now, but it feels different. I can't tell exactly where it's different."

Jin Fan thought that this was right. Now that the eldest lady was here, there had to be some new atmosphere.

Can't feel it? Haha, after a while, you will be deeply infused with the entrepreneurial spirit by the young lady!

But then again, the other person is a shopping guide, so is it okay for him to chat with me?

"Telling me this won't affect your work, right?"

"No, because we don't have any sales tasks assigned to us, so we are quite... I wouldn't say we have a lot of free time, but we have a lot of free time."

What the shopping guide didn't mention was that Alia even set up small stools in various places so that they could sit for a while when they got tired of standing.

You must confirm that the customer has a need before you talk to him/her, instead of just talking to him/her as if you are trying to fleece him/her.

Jin Fan didn't know about these new regulations, but he felt it was pretty good. For someone like him who is not good at socializing, the current communications are quite pleasant.

So after buying a bunch of snacks, Jin Fan said goodbye to this area and wanted to check out the dry lunch area over there.

My god, the scene of eight young ladies showing off their fans in public is so spectacular!

But when he looked over, he realized it was a fraud, an absolute fraud—there was no young lady! Only an old lady!

The eight women, who could not be described as big and strong, but basically were heavy older sisters, were skillfully steaming rice, with the rice cooker still emitting smoke.

Jin Fan came over to take a look and asked: "Which of these rices tastes better?"

"Try it?" An older sister handed over a small paper bowl. The rice was fragrant, hot and sticky.

Jin Fan couldn't help but taste two servings, and finally carried a bag of rice into the car a little embarrassedly.

The store manager was elusive, appearing from nowhere and looking at Jin Fan's face.

"Handsome guy, don't you want to buy rice?"

"Ah - a little bit, it's okay, it's okay."

"No, no, no, it's very relevant! What is it that makes you feel bad not to buy something?"

"Just... the food tasting session, he was too proactive, too enthusiastic, and... too tempting."

"Well, customers buy products they don't necessarily need just because of their attitude..."

"It's not that I don't need it, it's mainly because I don't cook much for myself, and if I open a bag of rice, it will probably take me a long time to finish it."

"Okay, we need to buy more of the different packaging styles... We also need to prepare a batch of small packages..."

"Well, is it possible that I'm not giving advice?"

"It doesn't matter. We need to learn to analyze the needs of customers and take the initiative to put ourselves in their shoes and think from their perspective."

The store manager put away the notebook and said, "Thank you very much for your advice. Please continue. I wish you a happy shopping."

Jin Fan looked at the energetic store manager and found it hard to imagine that he looked almost the same age as his mother.

What made her burst out with such strong subjective initiative?

Turning his eyes, Jin Fan saw Alia who was thinking about how to place the milk bottles, and suddenly he understood.

Oh, so it's extra money, that's fine...

He thought about it, then moved closer to Alia and looked at her work.

There seem to be different words on the milk bottles, and they can also form silhouettes of cows or cats. It would be quite interesting to put them in a row.

But the spelling of the characters is a bit strange. What does "so big and so thick" mean?

"Miss-"

"Hmm?" Alia turned around: "Oh, Jin Fan, what's the matter?"

"...Miss, do you remember me?"

"Why don't you remember?" Alia turned around and continued to work. She looked at him in confusion. "What new look did you do? I didn't realize it... The hairstyle is pretty cool, huh."

After politely praising Jin Fan, Ailia continued to work without taking it seriously.

Jin Fan seemed to have thought of something, quietly stepped back, and then took other colleagues to test one by one.

It seems that because it is not a normal external business, Ailia positions herself as a supermarket employee with the main role being the boss of the group.

The attitude towards customers cannot be said to be respectful. It can basically be said that they are indifferent and let them buy whatever they want.

I have moved the entire supermarket here for you. Just pick whatever you like to eat. Do I have to feed it to your mouth?

Employees walked by and greeted her, and she responded.

However, as long as someone mentioned her name before, she would remember it and could call out the name directly when she met them.

Brother Sun was a little dazed: "I've heard about this before... Mr. Ai, the eldest lady's father, was said to remember the names of almost one-tenth of the people in the entire headquarters. He would greet people by name when he went to work in the morning..."

Is it so scary to remember more than 3,000 people that you usually see?

Jin Fan's good brother had a strange expression on his face: "She--was she always like this?"

"what?"

"Our boss can't remember the people in our office. He only remembers the few who flatter us every day. We do the work, and they take the credit."

"Ah... maybe you have a good memory, but if this matter were reported in the news, I think it would be a big deal. It's a pity that you are no longer in the advertising department."

"Well, it's okay. I'll take a few photos and send them to my former colleagues. Really, for the sake of work, I think I need to be more proactive."

"...You'd better do it for work."

But to be honest, Alia's talent for remembering people really touched everyone.

It’s like when I was a kid and my teacher remembered my full name, read out my name, and told me to study hard.

Ailia finally finished her work and ran to the cashier counter, where she found Mr. Sun acting as a cashier.

"Uncle Sun, why are you here?"

"Hey, I'm free anyway. Seeing everyone so energetic, I feel younger and want to work hard!"

Mr. Sun was wearing work clothes, and it was obvious that he was not here for fun, but was really planning to help the factory.

Alia watched the checkout process from the side, and after watching for a while, she called the store manager over.

"Plastic bags will only be charged once in the future. Also, for fresh seafood, drain all the water when weighing. For ice cubes, set up a new area here and make it ready-to-use crushed ice. Remember?"

"Okay, I've got that." The store manager took out a small notebook to record the information. She no longer advised Alia to save costs.

Even more expensive things are yet to come. She has realized that the eldest lady is not going to open a supermarket, but to turn the supermarket into the customers' own refrigerators.

Even the half-cut watermelon has to be separated, peeled, packed and weighed. If people from the north come here and see these customers' requests, they probably worry about being beaten by the salesperson...

"And the other thing is—hmm?"

Alia was talking when she suddenly looked up in the direction of the exit in the distance.

"It's raining?"

"Raining? No, it was quite rainy this morning... Wow, it's really raining! So heavy!"

The sudden heavy rain, pouring down like a bucket, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

An Lele ran to the door to take a look, then ran back with her hands covering her head: "Wow wow wow - it's so huge!"

She just went out for a stroll, but her upper body was soaked. It wasn't raining, it was like water was being poured on her.

Alia went to the gate and looked over. The nearby commercial street was full of tourists running around, hiding from the rain.
