Chapter 134

When Jiang Meishu heard this, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. It was as if Liang Qiurun would support her behind the scenes no matter what she did.

That kind of confidence is incomparable to anything else.

Her nose was sore and her voice was muffled. She just wrapped her arms around Liang Qiurun's slender waist, pressed her face against his chest, and whispered, "Lao Liang, thank you."

Liang Qiurun raised his hand and touched his head, "Family, we don't talk about this."

He looked at the calendar hanging in the distance. "Today is the 12th, the first day of the cannery fire. We still have to wait."

Jiang Meishu knew she had to wait.

She hummed, "We're waiting. When the market is booming and the supply is in short supply, then we can ship that batch of goods."

This was her inner judgment.

After saying this, Liang Qiurun looked at her in surprise.

Being looked at like this, Jiang Meishu touched her face uncomfortably, "What's wrong?"

Liang Qiurun hugged her and patted her shoulders casually, "You've grown up."

"I also have the ability to judge."

"That's good." He looked down at her. "Jiang Jiang, I'm a few years older than you. I'm bound to die before you in the future."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Meishu raised her hand to cover his mouth, "Don't say that."

"Lao Liang, don't say that."

Liang Qiurun laughed, "Jiang Jiang, everyone will grow old." He felt this way especially when looking at her youthful and tender body.

He is thirty-four.

Jiang Meishu is twenty-three.

The age difference of eleven years may not seem obvious now, but in the future, he will be seventy and she will be fifty-nine.

At this time, the gap will be huge.

As if knowing what Jiang Meishu was going to say, Liang Qiurun whispered, "Let me finish."

"I will teach you more while I am still here, and I will teach you more when I am gone." He has to consider her entire second half of her life.

"You have to protect yourself."

He didn't tell Liang Rui that he would teach Liang Rui to respect Jiang Meishu in the future, but there was still a layer of distance between the two of them.

Family affection without blood ties is difficult to maintain when one is old.

Jiang Meishu said nothing. She held Liang Qiurun's hand tightly, tears flashing in her eyes. "Lao Liang, don't say these things. Don't say them."

She couldn't bear to hear it.

She couldn't bear to hear such talk.

At the beginning, she and Lao Liang may have had their own agenda, but as they got along later, they became the two most familiar and closest people.

Liang Qiurun looked at her and sighed slightly, but didn't say anything in the end.

But in the darkness, those eyes were particularly deep, and he was about to slowly act on all the things he had considered.

While he is still alive, he will pave a smooth road for Jiang Jiang's future.

*

December 16th.

The supply of canned food in the entire capital began to become increasingly tight, but major department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives still had a small amount of inventory, enough to sell, but it would not last for more than three days.

Department store.

Almost everyone gathered in Shen Mingying's office. "Chief Shen, our department store's canned goods are almost gone. We can sell them for one more day tomorrow at most, and they'll be gone."

"Think of a solution quickly."

"We can't have everyone who comes to our department store tomorrow to buy canned goods leave empty-handed. What's the point of calling it a department store then? We might as well just call it no department store."

Facing the anxious crowd, Shen Mingying remained calm and composed. "It's no use looking for me. The cannery burned down, and the supply is running low. Can I still make something for everyone?"

"Surroundings, what about the surroundings?"

Shen Mingying, "Nearby? You're all aware of regional protectionism. If you can get it back from the surrounding areas, I, Shen Mingying, will still thank you."

With just a few words, they retorted to the other party and everyone returned in failure.

Shen Mingying looked at the people leaving and murmured, "Today is the fifth day, and there are still two days left as Xiao Jiang said."

In two days, the canned goods in the capital will be almost completely sold out. That's when the price of canned goods will really increase.

Shen family.

Jiang Meishu came to Jiang Meilan and said, "Sister, on the seventh day, we will release the goods on the seventh day."

Jiang Meilan raised her eyes and looked at her sister carefully. She was still the same person, but her eyes were much more resolute.

"Well, I'll listen to you."

Jiang Meilan didn't give her any advice on how to release the goods, leaving it entirely up to Jiang Meishu to figure it out on her own. Of course, Jiang Meilan was also intentionally cultivating her sister's decision-making ability.

Jiang Meishu was a little surprised, "Don't you want to ask why?"

Jiang Meilan smiled gently, "My Meishu has grown up and can make decisions naturally. I heard from Shen Zhanlie that you made great progress during your visit to the Lian City Cannery, and the decisions you made were decisive and clear, which was amazing."

"My Meishu is really amazing."

Jiang Meishu smiled shyly, "I'm just worried that seven days might be too late."

"So if there are canned products on the market before us, how should we deal with it?"

Then the initiative will be taken by force.

"Won't."

Jiang Meilan shook her head. "In my previous life, it took about ten days for anyone to realize that they needed to purchase the goods. But it's not that easy."

"It's difficult to bring goods from other places to Beijing. Once the goods are brought in, they can be put into appropriate sales channels. Meishu, there are smart people in this era, but most people are afraid."

"Speculation and profiteering are enough to crush anyone to death."

It’s not that those people can’t think of it, but that they dare not.

The nature of this era suppressed the deepest desires in people's hearts, and it was not until the early 1980s that they were slowly released.

Jiang Meishu seemed to be lost in thought.

Jiang Meilan continued, "And even if there are goods coming in, there's no need to worry. No one can purchase goods like we do, and they just fit into the department store."

"Meishu, we have the right time, right place, and right people. We have it all."

"Not everyone can take everything like us." Jiang Meilan said gently, "Don't worry about others, just keep the goods in your hands and release them on time on the seventh day."

Jiang Meishu nodded. It was the fifth day when she left the Shen family.

In a blink of an eye, it was December 18th, the seventh day.

The entire capital was filled with people scrambling for canned food. Even people from ordinary families might not be able to buy canned food after learning that the cannery had burned down.

When this news was released, all the major supply and marketing cooperatives began to scramble for goods, even department stores.

The price of canned food has increased from 70 cents to one yuan and one can, and it seems that the price will continue to rise.

The door of the department store was also squeezed open.

Jiang Meishu pretended to be someone who came to the department store to buy canned food and went to the second floor. "Second sister-in-law, the goods can be released tomorrow morning."

Shen Mingying nodded. "We're preparing. We're going to deliver the goods to the warehouse downstairs tonight."

Jiang Meishu nodded, left the stewed snow pear with rock sugar that she had brought with her, and then went out.

From an outsider's perspective, she was just there to deliver something, and there was no connection between her and this batch of goods.

As soon as Jiang Meishu left, someone from the department store came to Shen Mingying's office again. "Chief Shen, do you have any ideas? Look at the huge queue of people downstairs."

"If this continues, our department store will be surrounded by people."

Shen Mingying looked at everyone's faces. Everyone was anxious at the moment, but she was surprisingly calm. "Whether I have it or not, I have to see the general manager first."

this--

Chief Luo glanced at her and finally made way.

Shen Mingying went from the purchasing department to the general manager's office and said directly, "General Manager, I have solved the canned food problem. I only have one request."

"What? Xiao Shen, as long as you can solve this problem, you can ask for anything you want."

Shen Mingying, "General Manager, the commendation for my handling of the canned goods this time won't end up going to someone else, right?"

At the end of last year, she had solved the coal and cabbage problem, but in the end, the recognition went not to her but to Section Chief Luo. It was then that Shen Mingying realized how blind people could be, able to mistakenly attribute faults to others.

General Manager Chen's face froze for a moment, but he quickly reacted, "Of course not. Xiao Shen is your credit, it's your credit, no one can take it away."

Shen Mingying didn't say whether she believed it or not, but just looked at him for a moment. "When my master retired, he told me that you were the most fair and just person in the entire department store. He asked me to work hard under you. Naturally, I also wanted to repay Mr. Chen for his kindness in helping me."

"So, I'll take care of the department store's shortage of canned goods."

General Manager Chen was just delighted when he heard Shen Mingying say, "But, Mr. Chen, I wonder if I can be made a regular employee now that I've secured the canned goods."

She said it loudly, "After all, for this batch of goods, I really put my money, my connections, and my reputation on the line."

"If it's not a promotion, it's just a simple job. There's no need for me to work so hard, right?"

General Manager Chen smiled and said, "Of course."

It would be better if you ignored the back socket he was biting.

After hearing this, Shen Mingying finally said goodbye. "Mr. Chen, don't worry about this canned food incident. I will definitely solve it for you beautifully."

“When the time comes, our department store will be the first in the entire capital.”

The first part is about making demands, and the second part is about praising.

It can only be said that Shen Mingying is really good at this kind of interpersonal communication. Sure enough, General Manager Chen, who had originally had a gloomy expression, softened a bit. "Xiao Shen, if you can resolve this matter, the position of head of the purchasing department will be yours."

Head of the Purchasing Section.

He is not a section chief or deputy section chief.

But the head of the procurement department.

Shen Mingying understood, and she nodded as she left. General Manager Chen looked at her from behind and murmured, "Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, it's not that I don't want to protect you, but your opponent is too powerful."

In fact, even General Manager Chen was a little curious about where Shen Mingying could get the canned food at this time.

The news of canned food shortage has spread beyond the capital, to the point that several canning factories in the country have begun to be wary of each other.

Everyone is hoarding goods in the hope of making a profit.

In this predicament, how will Shen Mingying break the deadlock?

General Manager Chen had no idea that Shen Mingying's goods had already arrived in Beijing a week ago, earlier than everyone else, but they hadn't been taken out yet.

After Shen Mingying came out of the general manager's office, Section Chief Luo was waiting for her outside. "Section Chief Shen, have you come up with a solution?"

Shen Mingying smiled, "Of course."

"I need you to come to my office in ten minutes."

After she finished speaking, she only gave Section Chief Luo a heroic back view. Seeing her like this, Section Chief Luo murmured, "Could it be that Shen Mingying can really conjure up canned food?"

But shouldn’t it be like this?

Now the whole capital is short of canned food. This is a well-known fact, and it is something that even grown men like them cannot solve.

Shen Mingying is a woman, how should she solve the problem?

Ten minutes later.

Shen Mingying's office was full of people. "What's the current shortage of canned goods in the department store?"

She went straight to the point and asked about the sales department.

"We need at least 30,000 cans to resolve the panic caused by the current canned food shortage."

Shen Mingying thought about what Jiang Meishu had said to her.

No matter how many cans are missing.

You just put all your goods in front of everyone and tell everyone a message, "I am not short of goods"

Only in this way can the panic be stopped.

Shen Mingying, "Have someone clear the entrance to the department store. We need a large area of ​​at least 100 square meters. Also, call the security department to maintain order at the scene and prevent looting."

As soon as these words fell, everyone looked at each other in surprise, “Section Chief Shen, can you really get canned food here?”

"Just do as I say."

Shen Mingying responded decisively, "Also, let's discuss the external sales price for this batch of canned goods."

This question was asked to the head of the sales department.

this--

The other party was stunned for a moment, "That depends on the purchase price. Generally speaking, if the profit is large, we will double the price, and if the profit is small, we will increase it by one-third."

Shen Mingying handed him the quotation. The head of the sales department took it and looked at it. "Sixty-five and fifty-two, you can still get such a low quotation at this time?"

Whether it was Jiang Meishu or Jiang Meilan, they were not greedy and only asked for twice the cost price to ship the goods.

They didn't dare to double or triple the price, fearing problems. After all, they were selling through department stores, so they had to leave room for profit. Furthermore, canned food was incredibly popular, and if they priced it too high, they'd be seen as a role model.

Jiang Meishu wanted to make money, but she didn't want to lose herself. This shipping price was the result of repeated discussions between them, and after Liang Qiurun's review, they were quoted only after they confirmed that there was no problem.

Shen Mingying said, "Canned yellow peaches account for the majority of the market, and they will expire in a month and a half, so the price is low."

"But these are not the main points. Take a look at our department store's offer this time. How much is it?"

The head of the sales department pondered over it, "Are you trying to make a fortune, or are you trying to use this canned food sale to stabilize our department store's reputation?"

"Of course it's to maintain my reputation."

Almost without hesitation, everyone present said, "The company has no goods to sell. This is really hurtful." If this happens too many times, the people will no longer have trust in their companies.

The head of the sales department said, "Then we'll stick to the original price."

“What was our original canned goods pricing?”

"Seventy cents a can."

"Yes, that's 70 cents a can. We'll sell it at that price, and then our department store will be an instant hit."

Shen Mingying shook her head. "This method is good, but it has major flaws."

"What?"

"We don't have enough. If we go by the original price, we'll only have over 50,000 cans, which is not enough to sell."

If it were sold at the original price, it would attract people from almost the entire capital to buy canned food, and there would not be enough of these cans.

"So how much do you plan to do?"

Shen Mingying, "I suggest raising the price by 1 cent. A 1 cent increase per can makes it 80 cents. People who are willing to buy it naturally don't mind that 1 cent, but people who are in financial difficulties naturally can't bear to part with that 1 cent."

"That's what Section Chief Shen said."

"Then follow Chief Shen's advice."

Shen Mingying looked at everyone talking at once, and she remained silent. The price of 80 cents was not her suggestion.

It was Jiang Meishu who proposed it. At this time, Shen Mingying admired Jiang Meishu's foresight.

She took almost every detail into consideration.

Actually, it is not. These are what Jiang Meishu learned from Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meilan. After gathering their essence, she came to this conclusion.

downstairs.

Jiang Meishu didn't leave. She just stayed quietly at the entrance of the alley. When she saw the people from the department store's security department coming out and starting to clean up the place, she knew that the goods were about to be moved up.

She turned to look at Liang Rui, "Is everything arranged?"

Liang Rui looked strange, "I asked Yang Xiangdong and the others to spread the news according to your instructions."

"But does it really work?"

Jiang Meishu nodded, her voice gentle, "Whether it will be useful depends on how many people will show up at the entrance of the department store."

She just asked Liang Rui's brothers to spread the news that there were canned foods in the department store.

According to this time, it’s almost time.

really.

The area at the department store had just been cleared, and boxes of canned food were used like bricks to build a stone wall, which covered the entire entrance of the department store.

When they saw the boxes of canned food coming out, the people who had heard the news started shouting, "Canned food, canned food, there really is canned food in the department store."

The salesperson and the others were a little surprised. Why did these people come as soon as the cans were put on the shelves?

The head of the sales department was also a surprise.

Only Shen Mingying, who was standing upstairs, was not surprised. She looked at Jiang Meishu who was standing at the entrance of the alley and raised her hand from afar.

Jiang Meishu also waved at her.

Everything is implied.

"Everyone, line up! Stand still! Line up!" Sales Section Chief Xu, standing on a ladder, shouted through a loud speaker. "There's plenty of canned food! Everyone can buy some. Line up! Line up!"

"Canned yellow peaches are 75 cents a can, and canned oranges are new, 80 cents a can. If you want some, get in line. Don't rush, everyone has some."

As the head of the sales department finished speaking, the originally crowded crowd slowly separated and stood up.

When everyone saw the boxes of canned food displayed at the entrance of the department store, their hearts calmed down.

Everyone is panicking because they are worried that they won’t be able to buy it in the future.

Because of the shortage.

Now everyone is calm because there is enough stock, and everyone is queuing up in an orderly manner.

Not far away.

Liang Qiurun was sitting in the car, and Secretary Chen was driving in front. Naturally, they also saw this scene. Secretary Chen subconsciously said, "Comrade Jiang is amazing."

This matter could not be hidden from him because he was also helping to build connections, but in fact, looking back, Secretary Chen realized that there was not much he could do.

Whether going to the Lianshi Cannery or coming back to look for a warehouse, Secretary Chen was of no help.

Even his leadership.

But canned food is so popular nowadays that more and more people are carrying bags and baskets, and spreading the word from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Within a day, the entire capital would probably know that the department store had canned food, and that it was almost at the original price.

Liang Qiurun saw all of this, and naturally heard what Secretary Chen said. His handsome features were filled with a hint of pride, "Yes, she is very capable."

"She did it almost all by herself."

From holding the goods for seven days, to instructing Liang Rui to find his friends in advance to spread the news, to determine the price of the canned goods, and then to display all the goods at the entrance of the department store at once.

All of this was done by Jiang Meishu alone.

His Jiang Jiang has grown up and is so outstanding that he is dazzling.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Liang Qiurun instructed Secretary Chen.

Secretary Chen hesitated, "But Comrade Jiang is still at the entrance of the alley. Why don't we take her with us?"

Liang Qiurun laughed, "No, she's going to call people for a celebration party, so we should not disturb them."

Liang Qiurun is familiar with Jiang Meishu.

Jiang Meishu was also familiar with Liang Qiurun. She waved at the car and left with Liang Rui. "Let's go and collect some money."

From the moment all the goods were moved into the warehouse, Shen Zhanlie went through the back door to the finance department of the department store.

Calculating the time, I should have received the payment for the goods by now.

really--

Just as Jiang Meishu was leaving with Liang Rui, Shen Zhanlie came out of the Finance Department in front of him. He looked at the two of them without saying a word.

Instead, he chose to leave the department store.

Shen family.

Shen Zhanlie entered the house first, carrying a sack of money. Jiang Meishu and Liang Rui came in after a while.

Jiang Meilan was waiting inside the house.

"Have you got the money?"

"yes."

Shen Zhanlie closed the door, called Jiang Meishu and Liang Rui over, and then poured out the money in the sack in front of everyone.

"Thirty-one thousand."

The number doesn’t really feel that big, but when the more than 30,000 yuan fills the entire house.

Jiang Meishu had an indescribable feeling. Her eyes sparkled and she said in a joyful voice, "I've made a fortune."

This was the most money she had ever made.

Liang Rui was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "So much money?"

The money covered half the ground and was almost as high as my legs.

Shen Zhanlie said, “Yes, we sold it at double the price, so we made more money.”

"Now let's divide the money."

As soon as these words fell, the room instantly became quiet.

"We invested 3,600, and now we have 7,200." Shen Zhanlie asked Jiang Meilan to count out 7,200 from the money.

Next is Liang Rui.

"Liang Rui invested one thousand, and now he gets two thousand."

"Finally..." Everyone looked at Jiang Meishu, "You invested 9,800, and you get 19,600."

When Jiang Meishu put the nearly 20,000 yuan in cash in her hands, she felt a little more real, "I have become a millionaire."

The ten thousand yuan households in the seventies!
