It was completely beyond Ning Weimin's expectation.
I thought that after the good Sunday and entering the working day, the sales of tourism products would decline or even reach a trough.
Unexpectedly, the facts presented were completely opposite.
Except for Monday's sales, which were 300 yuan lower than Sunday's.
The four days from Tuesday to Friday were actually a process of gradually catching up or even overtaking.
And Saturday and Sunday are even worse.
Performance suddenly ushered in a huge explosion!
The sales volume on the opening day actually more than doubled!
This kind of booming business is undoubtedly in sharp contrast to the bleak business situation of other state-owned stores in the park.
At the same time, it is enough to show that Ning Weimin's optimistic method of making money is completely established.
Even the market prospects are far better than he initially expected.
As for why the tourism products of Zhaigu Exhibition Hall are so popular.
The first reason for this is of course the weather these days.
Spring is warm, the flowers are blooming, the sun is shining brightly, and the wind and sand are still light. This is the most suitable day for traveling.
Foreigners are naturally fun-loving. They are quite free-spirited and have fun first.
You will never be able to tie yourself to your job in such weather.
Especially people in developed countries still practice a weekend system, which means they have one more day at their disposal than Chinese people.
Therefore, there are particularly many foreigners coming to Tiantan Park these days.
So since the overall passenger flow has increased, the passenger flow of Zhai Palace will naturally change accordingly.
Secondly, it’s because the products sold by Ning Weimin and others are really good.
These products are all carefully selected by Ning Weimin based on the preferences of foreigners.
Each piece is exquisite and interesting, completely reflecting the ancient skills and oriental taste that foreigners can never imagine.
When many foreigners see it suddenly, they will instinctively stop to look at the product with great interest and play with it.
However, these things are very common, and there is no big obstacle for foreigners to understand the beauty of them.
In addition, it is not expensive, cannot be found anywhere else, and has practical value.
Of course foreigners are willing to buy these things to add some exotic decoration to their residences.
You can even take it back home as a long-lasting souvenir.
At this point, from Ning Weimin's true intention, he really has to thank his good master again.
Not for anything else, just because there was a day when Kang Shude told him specifically about the things that happened in the antique shop back then.
Why do foreigners like Chinese porcelain and furniture but have no interest in jade, calligraphy and painting?
It’s because the beauty of porcelain, the beauty of furniture, and functionality are all superficial.
As long as you are an individual, it is easy to feel, experience and enjoy it without much cultural barriers.
As for jade, calligraphy and painting are much more subtle.
These things that have no practical use are difficult to appreciate unless you have a certain foundation in Chinese studies and an understanding of Chinese culture.
Therefore, during the Republic of China, antique dealers who made money from foreigners always focused on porcelain and furniture, far exceeding other types.
Ning Weimin was convinced of this.
In the end, he really didn't hear this part in vain.
No, learn and apply it flexibly, and draw inferences from one example to other cases. It can really be applied to how to choose travel products.
In addition, the girls trained by Ning Weimin really gave him face.
When foreign guests see them, they always smile gently and have a "welcome, warm welcome" expression on their faces.
Like a concierge team waiting for the arrival of these "mobile wallets".
But they are not like the service staff at most foreign-related places these days.
He always cares too much and provides attentive service that makes people feel uncomfortable.
This makes foreigners feel at ease and assured, and they can go shopping in a comfortable and relaxed manner.
Even foreigners are attracted by the girls' attitude of answering every question and their gentle and beautiful manners.
On the contrary, I feel that they are very dignified, very elegant, and have oriental charm.
As a result, not only did the goods sell well, but many foreigners even asked to take photos with the girls.
As for the final point, the really crucial point is that Ning Weimin's "kickback" was really not in vain.
On Saturday and Sunday, the tour guides and translators he had deliberately made friends with over the past few days began to show their strength.
No matter in the morning or in the afternoon, there are people who come here with groups of foreign guests.
In addition to taking great pains to make up excuses, these people would rather take a detour and deliberately delay the time, so as to allow the foreigners to rest in the Zhai Palace.
They also continued to help with sales.
Is there still no effect?
So it is inevitable that sales will soar.
The sales record was immediately pushed to over 3,000 yuan.
But then again, making money is a good thing.
But Ning Weimin couldn't care less about his joy and began to feel a great pressure.
Because I was completely caught off guard!
The popularity of travel products is far beyond imagination, and the explosive growth in sales is simply too rapid.
This resulted in the goods that were originally planned to be sold for at least a month, but were now about to be half empty.
At this rate, we may not be able to survive even the next week.
Then can Ning Weimin not be anxious?
He really has his eye on the market now.
Therefore, in order to increase orders and expand production capacity, we have established long-term cooperative relationships with several parties.
It was very necessary for him to set up a table and get in touch with several parties as soon as possible.
On March 22, 1982, only the ninth day after its opening, Ning Weimin began to entertain guests.
First of all, he invited three masters from the jade factory to make stone carvings for him.
The location is the "Xuannei Barbecue Restaurant" on Qianmen Nei Street, and Kang Shude will inevitably come to accompany him.
This store also changed its name, but it hasn't been changed yet.
Speaking of the original brand name, it is very famous. In fact, it is the time-honored halal brand "Barbecue Wan" in Beijing.
Nanwan and Beiji are well known to everyone in the capital.
Ji's roast mutton and Wan's roast beef each have their own way of establishing themselves.
So we rely on the famous Wan's roast beef with "fresh and tender tofu" and "tangliujuanguo".
Ning Weimin not only expressed his sincerity appropriately, but also invited the three jade carving masters who had already cooperated once.
He got his wish and invited five colleagues who also wanted to make extra money to come and treat him.
Hey, just like that, I watched large plates of fragrant and steaming barbecue being brought to the table as if they were free of charge.
After a few cups of wine on the wine table, a small cigarette smoke came out, and then we started talking in such a lively manner.
The straightforward workers and masters, in the warm feeling of comfort and satisfaction, completely regarded Ning Weimin as their relatives.
"Oh, don't you just want stone sculptures? Of course you can!"
"One or three yuan? Each person should get fifty first, that's great!"
"What? How much do you want? Settlement at the end of the month and long-term cooperation? Hey, then we have to thank you!"
"How much can we make in a month? Let's put it this way, each of our brothers can make at least one every day. If you use quick hands, we can make two. I can give you three on Sunday. Do you think it's okay?"
"Don't worry, the quality is absolutely guaranteed! We are all old masters. This is a stone's work. What can go wrong? I will never cheat you. If you don't wash the mud when the carrot is fast, you are doing it to the public."
"Okay! Let's do it together! Let's toast you. Thank you for the hospitality, Manager Ning!"
"Hey, look at you, you're boring! What do you call me manager? Isn't that just a layman?"
"That's right, brother, we don't want to see you outside. It's so late for us brothers to meet each other!"
"Uncle Kang, I have to toast you too. Thank you for introducing us to each other and giving us such a good reason. This Xiao Ning will be our brother from now on. And you, our uncle!"
"
Well, look at the excitement of eating, drinking, and toasting.
Ning Weimin took a look at the people in front of him. They all had red faces and thick necks, and they really looked like mountain kings.
When he calculates his ranking in his mind, do you think he will never finish it?
Good guy, it’s Lao Jiu!
If it weren't for this barbecue meal, there would still be a few slang words.
