Oriole had been busy at the company for a day, arguing with the bank over the relevant contracts. She could feel that the bank really couldn't bear it. It was said that the exchange rate was going to fall again recently, money was tightening, and local branches were already in trouble.
Unspeakable suffering.
After getting off work at six o'clock, Oriole was already dizzy. She didn't want to work overtime anymore, so she simply took the bus home to rest. When she arrived at the gate of the family home, she found that the 'Harmony Supermarket' that had just opened in the morning was bustling with people.
People tend to gather in groups and go wherever there is excitement.
Huang Oriole stood there for a while. Many people from the family courtyard crossed the road to the store opposite. Some familiar neighbors came up and asked, "Xiao Huang, is this supermarket opened by Mr. Zhou?"
"
ah......?
Oriole was asked a question. She was in the legal department, and she had only been paying attention to the issue of 'non-performing assets' recently. But she couldn't say she didn't know, so she just made a couple of hums, neither affirming nor denying.
The neighbor took it as a 'yes' and came forward again and asked: "Xiao Huang, can you help me go to your warehouse to choose something? There are too many people in this store, and it is so noisy that I can't calm down and choose carefully.
?”
With the precedent of a subordinate being fired mercilessly, Oriole was immediately alert and tactfully excused herself by saying that she could not help. She had stayed at Holy Light for more than a month, and she had clearly felt that the company culture was completely different from that of enterprises and institutions.
Favors and other things are put aside, and it all depends on ability. It is Zhou Qingfeng who "throws money", and he is also the one who becomes ruthless. He agrees to favors indiscriminately, and in the end it is Oriole himself who is unlucky.
The neighbor left in disappointment, which made Oriole interested in the newly opened trading company. She also crossed the street and took a look outside the store, and immediately noticed something different.
Ordinary stores get off work at six o'clock, and department stores are absolutely closed. But the lights in Hehe Supermarket are bright, and the fluorescent lamps illuminate the store brightly, and the store is still busy.
The store originally sold vegetables and fruits. However, it soon became clear that ordinary daily necessities should not be sold together with second-hand goods, which took up too much space. On the first day of opening, Yulan made up her mind to open a new store specifically for fast-selling products.
Daily necessities.
The store is extremely lively, and from time to time someone cheers and spends money to buy a large appliance. The store implements a store manager system and is even equipped with a mobile phone. Every time a business is completed, a motorized tricycle will soon come to provide door-to-door delivery service.
.
Free installation will be provided if necessary.
Compared with the cold faces and arrogant faces of state-owned stores, Harmony Supermarket can be said to have considerate service.
Zhou Qingfeng used to sell home appliances treated with repair techniques at half price, but those were high-end goods worth more than 5,000 yuan. The sales at that time brought him a lot of connections. But after the establishment of 'Shengguang Machinery'
, this kind of cheapness is gone.
The home appliances sold by Harmony Supermarket all cost less than 3,000 yuan, and most of them have flaws in appearance, but their functions are intact. The moderate prices immediately triggered a buying frenzy.
In order to cope with the continuous flow of people, people had to be arranged outside the store to maintain order. Only ten people could enter the store and one could go out. There were many people paying for purchases, and a home appliance was sold almost every ten minutes.
After a while, most of the goods in the store will be emptied, so the clerk immediately picks up the mobile phone. After half an hour, there will be several motorized tricycles pulling more home appliances to replenish the goods.
Whenever the replenishment vehicle arrives, the people queuing up cheer. This means that there is sufficient supply of goods, and they can also spend money to buy the goods they want.
There was no shortage of electrical appliances in Oriole's home, she was just curious. After looking for about ten minutes, a 'Simmons' mattress was brought out, along with the dismantled bed frame. Only then did she realize that this store not only sold electrical appliances, but also had
furniture.
From time to time, people happily move out a few tables and chairs, and go home laughing as if they have picked up a big bargain. The furniture is of good style, and occasionally it is incomplete or worn out, but it does not affect its use. The price is even cheaper, only 5 cents for a brand new one.
one.
An aunt spent 30 yuan to buy more than 20 large and small plastic stools. On average, it only cost one yuan more. She was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth from ear to ear and kept laughing. Others chatted and said that this aunt opened a restaurant.
Yes, we happen to be short of stools.
There are also people who want to buy a wedding room. After hearing the news, they came to buy a lot of tables, chairs, beds and cabinets. Especially a large modular wardrobe, the style is very practical and beautiful, and the materials are solid, but the appearance is lacking a lot.
Decoration leads to poor appearance.
Thirty years later, this kind of cabinet would cost tens of thousands. Now it costs one or two thousand, but a trading company only costs five hundred.
The customers who bought it were laughing happily and said that they could just go home and shovel away the broken decorations and paint them again. It is unreasonable not to take advantage of this kind of advantage.
At seven o'clock, the trading company said that there would be no replenishment today and that the stock was currently being cleared. All remaining goods were discounted at 20%. The people in line were annoyed and excited. More people spent money to buy.
Home appliances were robbed on the spot, and the furniture was not kept for long. By eight o'clock, the 150-square-meter store felt as if it had been robbed, with only the counter remaining empty.
At this moment, the clerk began to close the door and immediately began to take stock of the day's sales. Around nine o'clock, an escort team with policemen would drive a 'Chang'an Star' to collect payments, making it look like a bank, and all the money was covered with explosion-proof
Packed in boxes.
Oriole was amazed to see it, and the people watching the excitement on the street were also excited and talking a lot. Everyone was talking about the sales amount of this store in one day. Some people said tens of thousands, some said hundreds of thousands, and some said millions.
Oriole has been staring outside the store since get off work, and gave an approximate estimate of around 150,000. This is an unimaginably hot business for a newly opened store.
From the discussion, we learned that there is not just one such store in Tianyang, but eight stores opened at the same time. According to the clerk, Harmony Supermarket will continue to expand in the future, and ten stores will be opened in the city, including all counties below the city.
There should be one or two.
The sales network will be spread throughout the Tianyang area, covering a population of more than five million. With the expansion of this sales network, there will be thousands of motorized tricycles transporting goods everywhere.
"It's amazing." Just thinking about the link terminals of this network, Oriole, as a bank employee, sighed. "If this sales network can be rolled out in Tianyang, it can be copied in other places."
Only now did Oriole have to admit that Zhou Qingfeng had a profound plan - people building tricycles was not a joke. They were solving the pain points of commercial transportation in a town.
Small cargo of less than half a ton is the norm for people's daily transportation. It is a waste of transportation capacity to use a small four-wheeler. Nowadays, people are willing to travel an extra mile for a few cents. Expensive freight seriously hinders the development of commercial trade.
.
Trucks are used for long distances, and three-wheelers are used for short distances. They are also very cheap three-wheelers. For a place like Tianyang with a large population and a very poor population, this thing is very useful.
