Zhang Jinfang and Xu Erlong had exactly the same thoughts.
Xu Erlong didn't want to be too conspicuous, and Zhang Jinfang was also worried about this kind of thing.
Making money silently is the main purpose.
Xu Erlong said: "Just read your book carefully and don't get involved in making money. My second brother has the ability and ability to let you live a good life."
In order to completely dispel their concerns, he had to say a few more words: "In this business, you don't have to worry about not making money or even losing money. The weather is getting colder, and more and more people will want to buy shoes. Besides,
At the beginning, this house was only bought and renovated for two hundred yuan, so you don’t have to worry about rent costs or anything like that, just relax."
After saying this, Zhang Jinfang and Xu Xiaoling finally relaxed.
The next day, Yu Ping and Huang Xiaogang came to the store on time to work despite missing teeth.
This is Xu Erlong's request.
This is to teach them step by step while the business is not too busy during this period.
After they gradually become familiar with various sales techniques, he will divide some of his time on duty so that everyone does not have to stay in the store.
Zhang Jinfang had nothing to do, so he rushed to the leather shoe store and visited it twice.
Although there was no business, she still wanted to come and watch, and tried hard to do something to help her son's business.
After most of the day, there were still not many customers coming to the door, only a few of them looking at each other.
With nothing to do, Huang Xiaogang took a fine velvet cloth and wiped the leather shoes again and again.
He began to worry whether the leather shoe store would reduce its workforce and whether he would be the first to be eliminated.
Alas, I hope that the second brother will not lose weight for the sake of being so diligent.
I really don’t need a salary, as long as I and my sister have three meals a day, that’s enough.
Finally a customer came to the door.
As a result, those who came were still acquaintances.
This acquaintance was none other than Huang Zhiguo, who also lived in the guest house.
Huang Zhiguo looked at the door for a few moments before stepping in.
Facing several people looking at him, Huang Zhiguo felt a little psychologically stressed, but he still stepped forward.
Xu Erlong stood up and came forward to greet him, smiling and greeting him: "Welcome, feel free to take a look. If you like something you like, you can also give it a try."
Huang Zhiguo smiled and nodded in response.
His eyes wandered over the row of men's shoe cabinets on the left, and finally, he spotted a pair of suede shoes: "Can I try this?"
"Okay, what size do you wear? I'll find shoes of this size for you to try." Xu Erlong asked.
"I wear size 41." Huang Zhiguo said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xiaogang, who had been listening with his ears perked up, immediately stuck his buttocks out and rummaged through the pile of leather shoe boxes.
Soon, he was holding a size 41 leather shoe box and ran over: "Comrade, this is size 41, you can try it."
Listening to his voice changing voice calling comrade, it was really hard not to laugh. Huang Zhiguo smiled and took the shoe.
Huang Zhiguo took the shoes and tried them on himself. Huang Xiaogang helped untie the laces of the other shoe and squatted down to help Huang Zhiguo put on the other shoe.
He is too afraid of layoffs and just wants to perform hard.
This behavior actually made Huang Zhiguo a little embarrassed.
God, let others help you put on your shoes. This kind of style and thought is unacceptable.
This will be criticized.
"The rattling of little leather shoes indicates the bad ideas of the bourgeoisie." This jingle from the early years is still fresh in my memory.
"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself." Huang Zhiguo hurriedly grabbed the leather shoes and put them on his feet.
Suede leather shoes are a popular type of leather shoes in the 1980s. They are made directly from fur. They have excellent warmth retention and are strong and durable. Some people even nicknamed them "kick the cow to death" because of their durability. They are very popular.
Favored by middle-aged and older men.
"How is it? Is the size suitable?" Xu Erlong asked from the side.
"Appropriate, appropriate." Huang Zhiguo said repeatedly.
"You can try walking a few steps and see how your feet feel." Xu Erlong added.
Huang Zhiguo stepped on the ground with his feet and turned his toes casually in his leather shoes: "No, just this pair, it's good. If it suits me, I'll buy this pair. How much does it cost?"
"These suede shoes cost twenty-five for a pair." Xu Erlong replied.
"Then give me two pairs." Huang Zhiguo said.
There are very few customers who take the initiative to buy two pairs at once.
Missing Tooth and the others quickly found another pair of leather shoes.
Xu Erlong still filled out the three-pack card and handed it to Huang Zhiguo: "Uncle, this is the three-pack card. If there is any quality problem within three months, it can be repaired or replaced according to the above regulations."
Huang Zhiguo said repeatedly: "Okay."
He took out the big unity card, counted five, and handed it to Xu Erlong's hand. He turned around and looked at Xu Erlong's leather shoe shop reluctantly again.
Xu Erlong smiled and asked: "Uncle, are you planning to buy two pairs for your family?"
"No." Huang Zhiguo looked away embarrassedly.
After thinking about it, he approached Xu Erlong and asked in a lowered voice: "Do you think opening a store like this won't cause trouble?"
Xu Erlong's heart trembled, and the smile on his face gradually solidified.
Huang Zhiguo knew there was a misunderstanding, so he kept saying, "Don't think too much, I'm just asking."
He explained in a low voice: "I saw many places saying it was open, but I couldn't be sure. Seeing you doing it like this, I just wanted to ask."
Xu Erlong breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Zhiguo's question just now really shocked him. He thought he was here to threaten and cause trouble.
A smile appeared on his face again: "Uncle, you are also a salesman. You often travel on business, so you can be considered a traveler. You should be more open-minded about this situation than me."
Huang Zhiguo sighed softly: "To be honest, our factory is also converting from military to civilian. I was just thinking about whether I should go out and do it myself, but I'm not sure. I just see that the scale of what you do is not small.
You have the courage and vision, and I want to ask your opinion."
How dare Xu Erlong give advice so easily.
If this happens, it's naturally a good thing. If someone doesn't do it right, don't you blame yourself for giving blind opinions?
He said vaguely: "Uncle, I don't know what line of work you are in, and I don't know anything about you. So, you really have to make your own decision on what you want to do. Other people's suggestions will not work.
You can only listen more, read more and think more.”
"I listen to the radio and read newspapers every day... I see that the south is quite alive," Huang Zhiguo said.
It was also because he read newspapers and read too many reports on the situation in various places that he came up with the idea of going out on his own.
However, the South is the South after all, and the reports in newspapers are reports in newspapers after all. In the past, it was reported that the yield per mu was ten thousand catties. Who knows whether it is true or false?
Xu Erlong, who was also renting in the guest house, had traces of his behavior, so Huang Zhiguo came over to see what this leather shoe store was like.
