"My dad is on the second floor, repairing a radio." Zhang Yujie answered.
The second floor of Yuanwang Electrical Appliance Store is the maintenance room, where Uncle Zhang and his two apprentices usually work on electrical appliances.
The third floor is a warehouse and dormitory, where his two apprentices live every day.
Zhang Guihua is his niece, and she lives with him every day. Grandma Zhang passed away last year. Now four members of the Zhang family live in a 220-square-meter apartment with five bedrooms and two living rooms, which is more than enough.
In two months, Zhang Guozheng will go to Xiangjiang and Zhang Yujie will live on campus. I wonder if the family will feel deserted.
It's summer now, and in just a short while, two electric fans have been sold in the store. The electric fans produced by the joint venture are not as bulky as the domestic products. Plastic parts have replaced many metal parts, and they look both light and beautiful.
Sun Dahai came to the second floor and saw an old-fashioned radio on a workbench. The back cover had been removed, and Uncle Zhang's two apprentices were comparing the circuit diagram with magnifying glasses.
Uncle Zhang is testing with a multimeter, putting the soldering iron aside, and a faint scent of pine is looming in the room.
"It should be fine." After Uncle Zhang said that, he looked up and saw Sun Dahai.
"Haidai, why are you here free?"
Uncle Zhang was very enthusiastic towards Sun Dahai. When Grandma Zhang was still alive, she always said that he was kinder to Sun Dahai than to Zhang Guozheng.
There are two small rooms on the second floor. There is a large room in the middle with several workbenches and a nine-inch black and white TV placed on it. This is their workshop for repairing electrical appliances, and it is a little messy.
After the store was decorated, this was Sun Dahai's first visit. When the place was chosen, the podium building of the second phase had just been completed, and it was still a rough building. Unlike now, it has been decorated.
I have never met Uncle Zhang's two apprentices, Sun Dahai, but they are considered acquaintances after being introduced. They are only about 20 years old and seem to be relatively honest.
Both of their fathers were from the factory. The factory took care of the old workers and gave them two quotas as temporary workers.
Everyone knew that Uncle Zhang had good character and high technical level, so the family begged Uncle Zhang and made them his apprentices.
When the news came out that Uncle Zhang had resigned and went to sea, the two families thought about it again and again. It was best to choose to believe in Uncle Zhang and let them give up their status as temporary workers and go to sea with Uncle Zhang.
In fact, Uncle Zhang also had an apprentice in the factory, and that apprentice finally chose to stay in the factory. Everyone has his own ambitions and cannot be forced. But Sun Dahai can guarantee that the two people in front of him will never regret it in the end.
After chatting with them for a while, Sun Dahai ran to the third floor with great interest and took a look. Overall, as a small electrical appliance store, this place is quite good.
Sun Dahai chatted with them for a while and told them how to run this small store. Electrical appliance repair is only an incidental service, and electrical appliance sales are what everyone should pay attention to.
Sun Dahai pointed to the newly repaired radio and asked: "Uncle Zhang, how long did it take you to repair this radio and how much did you charge?"
Uncle Zhang said embarrassedly: "In the job I received yesterday afternoon, several components were broken. In the morning, I asked Xiao Li to go to the electronic components store in the city and buy them back. It just took an hour to repair them.
The components cost 60 cents, and I’m going to charge a dollar for repairs.”
Sun Dahai shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Uncle Zhang, this is not possible. You haven't factored in the labor costs and store rent yet. If you included them all, you would charge at least five or ten yuan."
Uncle Zhang shook his head quickly and said, "How come? A new radio only costs more than ten yuan in the store. Repairing an old radio costs not only five yuan, but even two yuan. I'm afraid the customers won't know how."
willing."
Sun Dahai said: "Yes, that's why I said, don't focus on maintenance. I just stayed on the first floor for less than half an hour and sold two fans. Do you think it would be better than you to work for half a day to repair it?"
Are used electrical appliances more profitable?”
Uncle Zhang was a little hesitant and said: "Dahai, you know that I have no problem repairing electrical appliances, but if I sell things, I really can't open my mouth."
His two apprentices also nodded involuntarily.
Sun Dahai said: "You know technology and can repair, which is of course very good. What I mean is that in the future, you will mainly repair the electrical appliances sold in the store, which is considered after-sales service. As for ordinary old electrical appliances, like this
It's a thankless job to do business, so I think I'll forget about it."
Xiao Li also said: "Yes, Master. I just ran to the city to buy a few components this morning. The repair fee we charged is not enough for half a day's salary."
"That's right. From now on, you will only be responsible for the maintenance of electrical appliances sold in the store. It will be easier to find vulnerable parts from the manufacturer." Sun Dahai struck while the iron was hot and continued to mobilize.
Uncle Zhang looked at Sun Dahai, then at the two apprentices, and then made up his mind and said, "Okay. After we finish repairing these old electrical appliances, let's concentrate on studying the circuit diagrams of the electrical appliances downstairs.
This is good, so as not to have to explain to customers when components cannot be purchased.”
The two apprentices were also very happy. This way, their work would be much easier. They no longer have to use a magnifying glass to check circuit diagrams and component numbers all day long.
"Haidai, are you finished? Let's go now."
Zhang Yujie ran upstairs to find Sun Dahai. Just now Sun Dahai agreed to treat the brother and sister to dinner.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, I'll leave first."
"Dad, let's go out for dinner, so please leave us alone." Zhang Yujie pulled Sun Dahai and went downstairs happily.
Uncle Zhang's shop is open from 9 am to 8 pm every day. There is a kitchen on the third floor, and they all cook their own meals.
Brother and sister Zhang Yujie are on vacation. They have been helping in the store these days, and they are also eating here. If they don't say hello, they will have to make too much dinner.
Sun Dahai and the four of them went to eat Western food. In fact, the fast food of Time Quiet is a combination of Chinese and Western food, but if Zhang Yujie said it was Western food, who would argue with her?
In fact, among the four of them, Zhang Yujie likes to eat well and has a bit of a petty bourgeois demeanor. The others are all big-bellied, and they only enjoy hot pot.
I don’t know where Zhang Yujie heard that eating mutton is easy to get angry and will cause small acne on the face, so she insisted on going to the Time of Peace.
A few years passed by, and Zhang Yujie was already thirteen years old, considered a girl. In the past two years, she had also begun to become more beautiful, no longer the carefree and confused person she was when she was a child.
Just go if you want, Sun Dahai can't do anything to her. Her brother Zhang Guozheng even consciously shut up his mouth early. He didn't care about where to eat, so he didn't bother to think about it.
