"Brother-in-law, let's not talk about the past. Let's look forward. The future will definitely not be too bad," Zhao Ting said.
"Okay, Yan, look at Zhao Ting running around outside taking care of things. His horizons and experience are completely different."
"Brother, work hard and strive to become a manager. You can sit in the office every day, drink tea, and blow the air conditioner, and you can make a lot of money. But don't be like us, get up early every day and work hard to make money. The key is that you still can't make money.
A few dollars." Qi Lixin sighed with emotion.
Zhao Ting was depressed. I don't even have such high expectations for myself. Your expectations for me are so high and the pressure is so great.
"Brother-in-law, what's going on between you and my sister? Is there something wrong?" He asked out of concern.
When Zhao Yan heard her brother's question, she said angrily: "That bastard, he imitated your brother-in-law and also made mutton steamed pancakes at the Dazhang Labor Market. It seemed like he was secretly imitating ours. I
I was so angry that I really wanted to beat them up, but your brother-in-law said to leave him alone, which made me feel unhappy."
Qi Lixin recounted the observed results again. He said, "If you really go and beat him up, what will happen next?"
Zhao Ting just heard what his brother-in-law said. He thought for a while and asked, "Brother-in-law, how about I find a few people to beat him up in the dark and carry him in front of our house. This is obviously deliberately stealing business."
They are indeed siblings!
Qi Lixin was not so angry at first, but after hearing what his brother-in-law said, he became angry. His fists unclenched and then clenched, his joints cracked and his hands itched.
This is an open grab. No wonder I always thought that the turnover could break 1,000 recently, but it just can’t. It turns out that the problem lies here!
…
The development of everything has its own rules. For example, after last year's global economic crisis, the real economy was hit hard to a certain extent. In this environment, the emerging Internet shopping began to grow further in the country.
At the beginning, Taobao was characterized by its "good quality and low price", but the quality was not guaranteed, and there were too many "imitations". It gave people the impression that it was a concentration camp selling fake goods.
It also wants to break through and get rid of the "counterfeit concentration camp" title that sounds very low at first glance. To this end, Taobao is also making various adjustments privately.
For example, in the past, we would focus on promoting clothes, shoes, hats and other commonly used items, but now the promotion of such products has gradually reduced the proportion.
Taobao Mall, which was just launched last year, has begun to pay more attention to the promotion of daily necessities.
Beginning in late May, Zhang San began to slowly feel that the sales of the six Taobao store accounts he had registered before and after had a significant increase. However, this change was subtle. As a store owner, he could only use the sales volume in the backend.
The increase in data and transaction volume indicates that the platform has promoted it, but why it has been promoted, he really doesn’t know.
This thing is very confusing.
Zhang San couldn't figure it out, and finally decided to ask Xia Zekai.
But I called Xia Zekai twice in succession, but neither got through. The call prompt showed that the other party was busy.
At the same time, at home in Qiyun Garden Community, Xia Zekai received a call from his father.
After Xia Weicheng got through the phone to his son Xia Zekai, the first thing he said was: "Boss, I heard your sister-in-law said the other day that you stopped going to work and opened your own store?"
Xia Zekai wanted to slap himself. His cousins knew about it, and his cousin also knew about it, but Xia Zekai just forgot to tell his parents.
"Dad, I opened a store. It didn't take long after I opened it. The business was not stable in the first two months and I was quite busy, so I didn't tell you." Xia Zekai said this.
Xia Weicheng didn't care about this. He was very happy when he heard his son admit that he had opened a store: "Okay, you can do it yourself now, so you have become more capable."
"Son, you really give face to our old Xia parents."
"By the way, do you have enough money? I heard that it's very powerful to open a store to purchase goods. Do you have any money? I still have some here. If you want to use it, take it first." Xia Weicheng has the sincerity of most parents.
Xia Zekai refused directly: "Dad, just keep that money for you and my mother to spend, I won't use it."
"Dad, how is my grandpa doing now?" Xia Zekai asked.
When talking about this matter, Xia Weicheng's tone became a little low, and he said: "Let's keep it that way."
He was also helpless. There was no big ups and downs in his tone. Xia Weicheng and his eldest brother Xia Weiguo both had enough mental ability to accept that the cancer was in its advanced stage. What else could be said.
Xia Zekai said: "Dad, how about I transfer 20,000 yuan to you, and you can take my grandpa to see it again."
"Forget it, just keep the little money you have for yourself. Your mother and I still have more than 30,000 yuan. If we can really cure it, we will go to great lengths to cure it. But the problem is that we went to Jicheng Hospital last time.
When the doctor arrived, the doctor sent us back, saying that it would be better for your grandpa to be happy and maintain a good attitude than to take medicine." Xia Weicheng said this, he was very calm.
After hearing what his old father said, Xia Zekai didn't say anything else.
Xia Weicheng asked about the two granddaughters. Listening to his son describing how Yatou and Tongtong were so naughty, Xia Weicheng laughed happily.
At the end, he said: "Your mother misses them both very much. Boss, now that you are working on your own, you have more time. If you have time, please take them back to visit more often."
"Well, let's take a look at Saturdays and weekends. Xiyun works from Monday to Friday. She is quite busy and can't easily ask for leave." Xia Zekai said.
It doesn't matter when it is, there is no difference between Monday and weekend for Xia Weicheng and his wife Zhou Yinghong.
As they talked, the two men talked about Xia Zekai's younger brother Xia Zejiang.
Xia Weicheng said: "My second brother called me some time ago and told me that he wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Tell me, he has almost finished his four-year undergraduate program. Does he still need to go to graduate school? He is already in his twenties. If he were in our hometown, he would have been admitted early.
Just marry a wife and have children, why not work first and then take the exam? You have to be stubborn with me."
"Dad, if he is willing to do it, just let him do it. If the money is not enough for me, I will let him pay me back when he earns money from work." Xia Zekai said this, which made Xia Weicheng amused.
"I've paid for it for more than ten years, and I'm still short of ten thousand yuan. Okay, I won't tell you any more, I have to go to the station." Xia Weicheng muttered.
When Xia Zekai heard this, he finally told him: "Then you should ride your motorcycle more slowly, and don't go to anyone else's house to drink at night. Drinking too much of that stuff will do no good."
"Hey, you haven't even had two ounces of wine, and you've already started to control me. You're also a heartless person. I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. I'm hanging up." Xia Weicheng hung up the phone directly.
Xia Zekai looked at the black screen of his phone, recalling the tone of his father's last words, and was obviously a little unhappy that he was controlling his drinking.
Just as he put the phone away, Xia Zekai thought about lying down for a while, but before he could lie down, the phone rang again.
He took it over and saw that it was Zhang San calling him.
Xia Zekai was puzzled, but he still answered the call: "Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?"
"Boss, the sales volume of our Taobao store has increased. Now there are more than 50 orders more than usual." Zhang San spoke with a somewhat excited tone.
These more than 50 orders amounted to a turnover of nearly 1,000 yuan. How could he not be excited?
Xia Zekai was still thinking a lot. He asked: "Have you contacted people for promotion, or have you started to attract traffic?"
"Uh, I thought your contact person, boss, promoted it." Zhang San was stunned. He didn't do anything, and neither did the boss. What's going on?
There is something strange about this matter.
Xia Zekai said: "More traffic is a good thing. Don't think too much about what to do. Try to use all six ovens."
…
This wave of promotion on Taobao Mall was continuous. After several days, Zhang San looked at the background data and had a deeper understanding of the strange situation of this wave.
"ding ding"
"ding ding"
Ali Wangwang on the computer has been thinking about it non-stop. You don’t have to guess that this is a matter of a customer contacting them to inquire about their products.
At this time, Zhang San was busy, and Liang Wenxiao was even busier.
Zhang San is mainly responsible for the maintenance of store content items, while Liang Wenxiaocai is more like a full-time store customer service. She has seven or eight chat pages open at the same time, chatting with customers and explaining the advantages of the product to them.
Before he could finish talking to this customer, the blue mark of Aliwangwang in the taskbar area in the lower right corner of the computer began to flash again. This was another new customer looking for customer service. Liang Wenxiao did not dare to delay and quickly opened it.
She was so busy that she didn't even have time to take a sip of water, but she felt really at ease, much better than the previous few days.
Zhang San has a spirit of never giving up until he achieves his goal. He wanted to find out what caused the increase in traffic, so he logged into the browser and entered "My Taobao store's sales have increased significantly recently" to search for similar results.
Vocabulary, dozens of messages immediately appeared on the browsing page.
He browsed through it carefully, and he actually saw similar questions and answers. According to the answers given by netizens, Taobao Mall has now begun to increase its promotion of daily necessities, including clothing, shoes, hats and other categories.
It's obviously smaller.
A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhang San's head, and he quickly opened Taobao's webpage. He saw the slogan "Tao Tao Tao, Taobao you like" in a prominent place on the page. The more he looked at it, the more interesting it became.
Then after browsing the page again, he found one of the 'lifestyle' and infant daily necessities options, clicked on it, and after browsing again, he suddenly understood.
On this page, he had already seen the melted beans mixed in various daily necessities, but he didn't know how it was approved. It was obviously a snack, but it was put into the daily necessities.
Zhang San clicked on the picture, and sure enough he saw that the name of the store for this type of soluble beans said ‘Jingtong Food’.
"No wonder, Taobao is so stingy, why is it promoted?" Zhang Sanbai was puzzled and could only attribute it to Lao Ma being crazy again.
After what happened, he didn't forget to call his boss Xia Zekai to say something.
Xia Zekai couldn't figure out the reason, but it didn't stop him from taking advantage of this opportunity to gather wool. He told Zhang San to take advantage of this opportunity to ship as much as he could and do a good job in selling the store.
Xia Zekai himself also began to seriously consider QQ space logs to attract traffic to Taobao stores.
Things like Taobao Mall's current unprovoked sales are temporary after all. Xia Zekai will not hope to make a fortune in this situation. What he needs to do is to stabilize the current sales channels.
However, the number of views of his QQ space logs has increased, but it has not yet reached a scale.
Regarding this, Xia Zekai immediately thought of Pan Qin.
"It seems that I haven't seen Sister Pan in the past few days. The decoration of the new house has not been completed yet?" Xia Zekai muttered.
It was impossible to wait, so he called Pan Qin directly.
As soon as the call was connected, Pan Qin's voice sounded lazy and weak, which made Xia Zekai couldn't help but think more: "Sister Pan, are you still busy? If it's inconvenient, I'll hang up the phone first.
I’ll call you later!”
"You bear thing, I gave you the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, so you dare to molest your sister." Pan Qin scolded him with a smile.
This is normal.
"Tell me, call me at this hour. What's the emergency?" Pan Qin asked him.
If you are not in a hurry, you will definitely wait until you meet the child one day when you pick him up.
"Sister Pan knows my heart. Sister Pan, I'll tell you the truth. I want to ask you something core." Xia Zekai said very politely.
This is a person's ability to eat. If you don't have any relatives, why should you just teach him directly.
Pan Qin asked him without even thinking, "Do you want to learn QQ space log traffic drainage from me?"
"Yes, Sister Pan, just tell me what conditions you have, and how much it will cost." Xia Zekai was very open-minded at this time.
He understands in his heart that everything related to interests must be paid for.
Pan Qin liked Xia Zekai's knowledge very much. She said with a smile: "There must be conditions!"
"Say it!" Xia Zekai readily agreed. This is a normal thing.
But he didn't expect that Pan Qin only said: "Whenever you are free, treat me to a meal."
"Is it that simple?" Xia Zekai thought it was too simple.
Pan Qin chuckled: "Otherwise, what do you think?"
"..." Xia Zekai didn't say anything. He knew that he owed someone another favor.
He would rather spend money, it's really hard to repay favors.
…
Towards the end of the month, while Xia Zekai was busy developing the online store of "Jingtong Food Factory", he suddenly received a call from his cousin Zhao Yan, saying that Lao Qi had been taken away by the police station. There is still no letter.
Xia Zekai was confused at the time: "Yanyan, tell me again, what is going on?"
"Brother Kai, I don't want to cause trouble to you, but I really have no choice. I don't know who to look for." Zhao Yan cried.
Lao Xia has a headache now, what else can she say.
After he asked clearly that his cousin was in the store, he hurried over on an electric bike.
When I arrived at the place, I found out after asking that it turned out that Qi Lixin was a little depressed because there was someone nearby who followed suit and opened a shop called "Dazhang Mutton Pancakes". So while the shop was not busy, he went over to argue with him.
I didn’t know what happened, so I finally took action, and then someone from the workers called the police.
"Brother, I really have no choice, you have to help me." Zhao Yan cried and said.
Xia Zekai scratched his head. This matter was not complicated, but he had to find out the context. Speaking of which, the second brother now had more resources than he did.
Xia Zekai did not dare to delay and quickly called Xia Yunhui. He briefly explained the matter, but Xia Yunhui hung up the phone without a word in response.
In less than twenty minutes, Xia Yunhui drove here. Xia Zekai was afraid that his second brother didn't know the place, so he was still waiting for him in a conspicuous place on the roadside.
"Is this where Lao Qi opened his shop?" the second brother Xia Yunhui asked.
Xia Zekai nodded, and Zhao Yan also came out of the store. After seeing her second cousin Xia Yunhui, she felt sad again and her eyes began to shed tears.
"Brother, what should I do?" She cried again.
Women get confused at critical moments.
Xia Yunhui was indeed well-informed. He said, "Yanyan, don't worry. Do you know where that store is? Take me there."
"Okay, brother, I'll lock the door." Zhao Yanyan knew enough to quickly lock the door.
A few customers came over just now, but with such a big incident happening to Qi Lixin, she had no intention of making money.
"Zekai, I heard from Brother Li that you are recruiting people again. What's wrong? You're still too busy?" Xia Yunhui asked on the way there.
Xia Zekai didn't intend to hide it, he said: "Brother, I just rented a workshop to produce molten beans. This centralized production makes it easier to increase the quantity."
Xia Yunhui raised his hand, then put it down feebly, not knowing what to say.
This uncle is really unexpected!
"Brother, this is it." Zhao Yan suddenly said, pointing to a store along the street with a "large mutton steamed pancake" standing on the front left, which was also made of blue and white colored steel plates.
Xia Zekai took a glance and saw that the store door was open. There was a fat woman in the store. She couldn't tell how old she was.
She was sitting on a chair in the store in a daze.
When the brothers Xia Zekai and Xia Yunhui walked in, the fat woman thought there was a guest, so she subconsciously stood up to greet the guest.
But after seeing Zhao Yan, her expression immediately changed: "It's you, why, don't think that because someone is here, I'm afraid of you?"
Brothers Xia Yunhui and Xia Zekai looked at each other and were speechless. People who didn't know better thought they were landlords and bullies who had come to seek revenge.
Xia Zekai said at the right time: "If something like this happened, it must be solved. How do you want to solve it?"
"Brother, their man was also taken away." Zhao Yan said.
All the emotions were taken away.
Xia Yunhui thought for a while and asked: "Yanyan, what did you say when the police station took them away? Is your attitude good or bad?"
Zhao Yan was so panicked at that time that she couldn't remember it for a long time. When her second cousin asked, she shook her head to express that she didn't know.
"Well, why do I feel like I called them over for questioning, maybe they will be released later?" Xia Zekai suddenly said.
Hearing what his cousin said, Xia Yunhui thought it was quite similar. He asked, "Yanyan, do you know which police station took the person away?"
"It's from Dazhang Police Station. I heard it." Zhao Yan responded quickly this time.
The fat woman from the 'Dazhang Mutton Steamed Cake' shop had been standing nearby. When she heard what Xia Yunhui said, she asked anxiously: "You just said that our men can be released. Is that true?"
"If it's true, I won't do it here. Let's go and do it somewhere else, okay?" The fat woman shook her head.
When she said this, brothers Xia Yunhui and Xia Zekai didn't know what to say.
Zhao Yan was also stunned for a moment and asked her: "You want to move away?"
