With the district leaders in front, Song Guofu and the deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Branch in the middle, and reporters in the back, more than a dozen people entered the market in this order.
Unexpectedly, seeing the details of the transaction with my own eyes was even more gratifying. Customers at many stalls responded enthusiastically.
I watched as a pair of hands scrambled to hand over money to the self-employed people, and then took away a piece of clothing and a pair of packaged chopsticks. A smile appeared on almost every face.
As for the bargaining dialogue between the buyer and the seller, there is no anger at all, but it is more expressive of the harmony between you and me.
"Comrade, where did you get this product? Is the quality guaranteed?"
"District Garment Company. Let me make it clear to you, they are all overstocked goods from our district garment factory. Some of them are missing numbers, and some have faulty workmanship. You can pick them out by yourself. They will not be returned or exchanged."
"Hey, you still sell it if it's defective?"
"Sister, what you said is wrong. Which industry does not produce defective products? Do they have to be thrown away? We are helping the country reduce losses and also provide benefits to the people. Let's talk about this velvet in your hand.
As for the jacket, the cuffs are smashed crooked. Do you want to delay wearing it? The key is not to charge for cloth tickets, the price is cheap. Let me tell you, this clothes sells for 13.5 yuan in the Xidan mall, and I only want 11.5 yuan. I will ask you to co-write it.
Do you think it’s not worth it to eat stewed meat in a pot and get a pair of chopsticks for free?”
"Haha, you can say that, but the sleeve line is too crooked. Who wouldn't be able to see it at a glance?"
"Hey, I see you are also a good at living at home. Why don't you take it back and clean it up yourself? Isn't it just like a good one? How can it be difficult for you to do this?"
"Yes, but... But it's only about ten yuan... Hey, let me ask, can it be cheaper?"
"Sister, if you really want it, I'll give you another fifty cents at most. That's eleven. To be honest, I can't make much. Think about it, the velvet cloth in the store costs six yuan and ninety-one meters. If you don't
The problem is, the ex-factory price must be the amount I just asked for."
"Okay, you're happy and I'm happy too, I want it. But don't forget to give me chopsticks."
"Okay, let's collect the money... Hold the chopsticks!"
"..."
Yes, that's it. Although the clothing company's products have flaws, the fabrics and styles are really good.
Moreover, in order to gain popularity, Hong Yanwu had specifically informed him in advance that he would only allow profits to be increased to a maximum of 15%.
Therefore, in an era when commodity prices are almost constant, it is easy for ordinary people to realize how cost-effective the quotations offered by self-employed people are. Once they realize the benefits, they are naturally willing to pay for them.
At the same time, the act of giving chopsticks has indeed attracted many people who are curious about unknown things.
Not to mention the people who came specifically with flyers. They were just passers-by on the road who didn't know what was going on. Seeing how lively the place was, they came and stopped. They would soon join in the fun.
Anyway, no matter what, whether you are really here to buy something or just come to watch the fun, at least the popularity here has been completely boosted.
Seeing this scene, although the district leaders remained calm on the surface, their eyes almost burst into laughter.
Going forward, the more I look at it, the happier I am because the trading order is also quite good.
Although Chinese people all have the habit of blocking things randomly, when no one is in charge, and there are three coordinators constantly coordinating and admonishing during inspections, everyone can abide by the rules and be more restrained.
In addition, the classification and placement of goods are very neat.
Because Hong Yanwu deliberately divided coats, cotton-padded coats, tops, pants, men's clothing, women's clothing, children's clothing, sweaters, underwear, scarves, and gauze into different categories, and whoever sells what sells is the one.
Coupled with the custom-made stalls and shelves, once the goods are put on display, it feels like the entire market is a complete clothing store.
Although such individual buying and selling seems a bit unnatural, it is impossible to do so based on human profit-seeking nature.
But Hong Kong reporters thought this was a characteristic of the "planned economy". Others didn't know how to do business, so no one could tell.
Finally, there was another highlight that surprised the inspection team.
That is, a group of people found two large red-painted wooden cabinets on the north and south sides of the iron shed near the mall wall. The word "Firefighting" was written on them and they were locked.
After curious inquiry, I learned from Song Guofu that there were four fire extinguishers placed in each wooden cabinet, which were specially configured to prevent accidental fires.
So all the leaders couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is good, it prevents problems before they happen, and it's well thought out."
But I didn't expect that someone would disrupt the situation. After the Hong Kong reporter overheard, he decided to express his objection to this move.
He believed that the key was kept by the coordinator, and if he couldn't find the person at the critical moment, things would be delayed and very dangerous. In that case, this meant that this move was purely formalistic.
Fortunately, Hong Yanwu had already considered this. He explained to Song Guofu that the fire extinguisher was never a decoration. If an unexpected situation occurs and the key cannot be found for a while, there is no need to worry. He is not a fool, just anyone can do it.
Opening the cabinet is just a padlock. The key is to have this thing on site.
So Song Guofu copied his exact words, and Hong Kong people were immediately speechless.
However, this reporter did not give up and seemed to insist on enjoying the scenery for a moment. Then he took the initiative to ask about market cleaning.
In his opinion, the public health in mainland China has always been poor, especially in the market, where garbage and cigarette butts are everywhere after the market is gone. So he is worried that this small market will make the front of Xidan Mall dirty and messy.
Well, this question made the district leaders who had just breathed a sigh of relief secretly become nervous again.
But it happened that the dog-headed military advisor hidden behind him was no mortal, and Hong Yanwu had already thought of this.
In fact, he has taken the initiative to add an additional RMB 1.5 for sanitation fees to each stall. Then he used this money to hire two cleaning workers on a long-term basis, who would come here to clean up after the market closed every day.
The specific requirements are that after cleaning every day, there should be no dirty paper or cigarette butts under the area covered by the iron shed.
As a result, this became another opportunity for Song Guofu to gain points in the minds of the leaders.
When Song Guofu finished his explanation very calmly, it was really hard for the Hong Kong reporters to find any possible omissions. They could only nod their heads and keep silent.
Needless to say, what kind of ideas Song Guofu would have in the minds of several leaders at this time.
For example, the deputy district chief in charge of commerce whispered something to the deputy director of the industrial and commercial branch.
"You guys, Xiao Song, are really good and have great ideas. He seems to be a young man who can take on heavy responsibilities. You will have less worries in your future work."
This means that Song Guofu didn't hear it, otherwise if he received such affirmation in person, he would have floated like a balloon.
Of course, life does not always go as planned. There are always things that people cannot predict and cannot control.
No matter how smooth things are, there must be some twists and turns, otherwise it will not be normal.
No, as more and more customers gather together, the trading atmosphere becomes more and more lively, and the market is noisy. It is no longer easy to hear the words between the self-employed and the customers.
Under this situation, not to mention the few coordinators who were sweating profusely in the crowd to maintain order. The self-employed people started shouting a little wildly and had no scruples.
After all, they are all rough people, not supermen.
It's like a kid holding his pants and trying to impress others by learning the cross talk joke "Selling Cloth Head".
"Come and buy, everyone. Palis pants are so strong. They have been washed and dried, pulled and pulled, spread and covered, and kicked and kicked. Hey, eight years ago
The cover is not broken every year. It doesn’t leak when the wind blows, and it doesn’t leak even when it rains. Even your fast scissors won’t be able to twist it..."
The boy next to him yelled even more excessively, and even crossed the line and completely changed his profession.
"Take a look, take a look, the new tee has arrived. The quality is guaranteed."
Well, it was this sudden situation that made Song Guofu tremble in his heart and scream, "Oh no!"
Why? Because it is explicitly prohibited from selling anything other than clothes and hats.
This...how come the three links are sold? Aren't you deliberately looking for trouble?
As expected, this shout became the target of the leaders' attention. Several leaders were stunned and rushed over.
The deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau couldn't care about anything else at this time, and followed quickly with a gloomy look on his face.
But what was the result? I squeezed into the crowd, and when I saw what this guy was selling, almost everyone laughed together.
It turns out... he sells all kinds of nylon shorts.
It's funny to say that Song Guofu was the only one who was still confused at this time. He followed him and started to lecture him.
"You are talking about three links? You scared me! Why are you shouting nonsense! Do you know this is a clothing market? You shout what you sell, do you understand?"
And he didn't expect that although the other party lowered his head and didn't dare to talk back, the leaders and the surrounding customers who were watching laughed harder for some reason.
In the end, the deputy director of the branch pulled him over and explained to him while suppressing a smile.
"Xiao Song, you are so smart that you are confused for a while. Don't you understand? Then don't you have three mouths? Two legs and a waist, it's a three-way connection!"
"Ah?" Song Guofu finally woke up. For a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
I thought to myself, what a talent. He is so evil! I can’t praise this guy’s unique creativity enough!
But at this moment, another unexpected situation occurred.
A coordinator squeezed over to look for Song Guofu, but he was in a hurry, but he seemed to have something he didn't want to say in public. He just stood aside and kept gesticulating. He wanted Song Guofu to go over and say it.
How could the district leader see this? A sharp-eyed person thought that something big had happened. He frowned and immediately asked what happened.
No matter how big the trouble was, Song Guofu could only ask the coordinator to report it immediately.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the coordinator opened his mouth, everyone was stunned.
"Chief Song, it's like this. Some stalls are sold out. They just want to ask, should they go back now, or wait until the market closes?"
