Huo Xi went to the back hall and sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.
Yang Fu showed her the account book, and Huo Xi had only turned over half of it when Shen Qianzhong came back.
"If I had known that my boss was coming, I wouldn't have gone out."
Huo Xi looked at him. Four years later, Shen Qianzhong no longer looked as lean as he had seen four years ago.
Now he is wearing a fine cotton cloth, his body is slightly fat, and his face is full of smiles. He no longer looks sad as before. Perhaps he has interacted with people more, and he looks more sophisticated and tactful in people's eyes.
Over the years, I helped Huo Xi travel around the country and received 10% of the dividend every year, which put a lot of money in my pocket. I also bought a lot of land in Huzhou and other places.
Huo Xi smiled: "I just came to take a look. Nian'er can't stay on the boat, so I'll take him out for a ride."
"Nian'er is boring? Uncle Shen will take you for a walk in the city later and buy you delicious food, okay?" Shen Qianzhong liked Huo Nian very much, and would hold him and tease him for a long time every time he saw him.
Huo Nian was picked up high by him, laughed and nodded: "I want a delicious drink and cakes."
"Okay, Uncle Shen will buy them all for you."
After that, he gave money to a waiter and asked him to take Nian'er around and buy delicious food.
Huo Xi followed him and Yang Fu to the warehouse and frowned when she saw that the goods were piled up to the roof.
"This shop is smaller. Our ships now go to more places, and more and more goods are shipped back. Not only our own goods, but also the fleet introduced by Manager Huo also supplies us. I When I saw the good ones, I collected a lot. There is not enough storage in this warehouse."
Huo Xi saw that it was difficult to even turn around in the warehouse. If he wanted to get the goods from the upper level, it would be difficult to move around.
"Hurry up and find another warehouse. It doesn't require how good the house is, nor does it require location, as long as the place is big enough. Is there still no warehouse at the dock in the outer city?"
"No. I've sent people to stay there for several months, but I haven't seen any warehouse transfers there. Manager Huo said he would keep an eye out for us."
Yang Fu also said: "It would be great if there was a warehouse on the other side of the dock. Once the ship docks, the goods will be docked there, and the shippers will ship goods from there first. This will save a lot of manpower and material resources."
Huo Xi thought so too, but the dock area was so big, and she started late, so there were no warehouses for her to buy or rent. As soon as there was a transfer, big companies would snatch it up.
"Send people to search near the docks and shops. If you have the best ones, don't force them if you don't have them. Find a big house in the outer city and turn it into a warehouse."
"yes."
"There are too many goods here, and there is no space left. Now that spring has begun, the temperature in this warehouse has also risen. We must pay attention to preventing dryness and fire, and store some goods that are slow to come out to the house on Qionghua Lane. This is so piled up. It’s too full. You should be more careful.”
If something goes wrong, the whole warehouse will be gone.
"Okay. I'll have some goods delivered to Qionghua Lane in a moment."
The three of them left the warehouse, and Huo Xi continued to flip through the account book: "This month, the cloth has been shipped very quickly."
Shen Qian nodded: "Spring has begun, and thick winter clothes have been replaced. Everyone is busy pulling cloth to make spring clothes. Our cloth has just been shipped back, and it was sorted by the vendors before we even had time to put it into the warehouse."
"Are there sufficient supplies for the follow-up supplies?"
"I made several trips to nearby counties and towns and ordered cloth from the weavers in the village. I also asked the boatmen to collect some cloth for us when they were selling goods along the way. Boats from Jiangning, Huzhou, and Jiaxing are also coming back soon. Now, we should be able to transport some cloth back."
Huo Xi nodded.
Because of the change of seasons, people want to buy spring clothes. Spring comes once every three years. More and more people buy decoration clothes. The supply of cloth exceeds the demand. However, the sales of food and other items are somewhat slow.
Spring has begun, everything is recovering, everyone is no longer in the winter, and there are more fresh foods, so the sales of dry goods are slow.
"I see that there are still a lot of dry goods in the warehouse. These things have a shelf life. If they are stored for a long time, they will not become moldy and harm people. You can ask the clerk to promote the goods to the vendors who come to get the goods, such as lowering the price, or If there are goods that are in short supply, I will sell some dry goods and get the dry goods out of the warehouse as soon as possible."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Or let the guys go to various restaurants and restaurants. The weather is getting warmer, and the business of restaurants and restaurants is very good. Let the guys go around to sell and see. The more you sell, the more you get."
Shen Qianzhong laughed: "My boss's trick is to sell more and sell more. The guys are very happy. We are just looking forward to it."
Huo Xi smiled.
Unlike other shop clerks in the capital who receive a fixed monthly salary, Huo Xi comes from the dynasty of Wufu and Minfeng, and knows very well how to motivate employees. He knows that customers are God, and the clerk's attitude plays a major role in the sales of goods. direct impact.
Therefore, a fixed monthly payment plus a floating monthly payment system is implemented for the store clerks. Different rewards will be given to them every month based on their sales performance to encourage them to sell more goods and make more money.
It is completely different than the clerks in ordinary shops who can guarantee their incomes despite droughts and floods. Whether customers buy something or not, whether they buy more or less, does not affect them. It is completely different.
The more you sell, the more you get.
No one has trouble with money, and everyone is a clerk. Others get several taels a month, but you get half a tael or one tael. Is it shameful or not?
He knows how to make progress without anyone urging him. Even if he is a fool, his family will urge him to make progress.
Other workers give several taels of subsidy to their families every month. You cannot earn enough to support your family, and it is difficult to support yourself. How dare you go home and face your family?
Therefore, every customer who comes to Guangfengshui, whether picking up goods or buying goods, feels at home. Unknowingly, the purchase exceeds the budget.
Guangfeng's parallel imports are good, the prices are good, and the staff are friendly. It quickly rose up in the outer city and occupied a place.
"Sister, look, there are so many delicious foods!"
Huo Nian happily came in with a bunch of things, and the waiter behind him followed suit. The boy was sweet-mouthed, and the waiter even bought him a bunch of food and drinks with his own money.
"Why did you buy so much? Can you finish it?"
"Eating with my sister, uncle, Uncle Shen, and everyone else." He was afraid that Huo Xi would scold him, so he took care of everyone sweetly.
There was a cashier and four clerks in the store. Seeing that the boss treated Huo Xi with great respect, they had some guesses about Huo Xi's identity.
Seeing that her sister had no objection, Huo Nian hurriedly distributed the food he bought to everyone. He was praised by everyone, and he was so proud that he sat next to Huo Xi in the backyard and ate happily.
Huo Xi stayed in the shop until lunch time.
He originally wanted to invite Shen Qianzhong to have lunch together, but he was very busy, and business partners kept coming to see him, so he left Huo Xi and took him to socialize.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu took Huo Nian to find a restaurant in the outer city and found a seat in the lobby to sit down and have lunch.
Huo Nian was very happy. While waiting for the food, he sat on a high chair, swinging his feet and looking around.
"Hey, sister, there is a brother over there watching us."
