The first day of business was a great start.
After the initial customers, more and more customers came in.
Once inside, most people will make a purchase.
We're not in an era where people are blinded by promotional offers, and everyone gets excited when they see freebies.
Many people pooled together enough money to buy something worth ten yuan, and some even bought it together as a group.
Anyway, the rice noodles and canned goods that are given away can be separated.
On the first day, everyone worked together until 7 p.m. before closing up shop to rest.
Once the door closed, the group of people sat motionless in their chairs.
The two men were responsible for moving and carrying goods, and they were sore all over from exhaustion.
The girls, who were in charge of entertaining the guests, were too speechless to speak.
Lin Yu was also tired: "Let's go eat first. Everyone has worked hard today."
She and Song Meili had already bought some dishes and rice from the state-run restaurant and set them on the table in the backyard.
The group sat down at the table and looked at the dishes on it, only then realizing how hungry they were.
There's fish and meat on this, and Xiaofang swallowed hard: "Factory manager, isn't this too much? I've never eaten this well at home."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "No, today is the first day of business, this is just to encourage you. Starting tomorrow, you can cook in the backyard. You can take turns cooking."
Only then did the group feel at ease enough to eat.
Lin Yu and Song Meili were also starving and didn't want to talk anymore.
For a moment, the only sound in the entire space was the sound of eating.
After finishing their meal, everyone finally calmed down.
"Factory manager, quickly check how much money we made today."
Lin Yu pulled out the drawer and poured out all the money.
Let's count them together.
"I have one hundred and five here."
"I have eighty here."
One hundred and thirty.
"......."
Lin Yu tallied the money together: "Today's revenue is four hundred and twenty-five cents."
The group couldn't believe it: "Did we miscount?"
"Yes, shall we count them again?"
Seeing that their eyes were almost popping out, Lin Yu shook her head and said, "No need, this is the price."
"Huh? But this is too much."
"Yes, they sold over four hundred in just one day. Wouldn't that be over ten thousand a month?"
Lin Yu shook her head and said, "There's no such good thing. We've just opened and are having a promotion, that's why there are so many. The price will drop after the promotion period."
"You don't need to worry about that, sales will gradually stabilize."
The group didn't think much of it; they just did whatever Lin Yu told them to do.
Lin Yu held considerable prestige among this group.
"Go back and rest after dinner. I'll go out and help you rent a place tomorrow."
They've been in the provincial capital for two days, and their accommodations haven't been arranged yet.
Lin Yu has already asked the housing management office to help her find a house. They came over today and told her to go see the house tomorrow.
The next day, business was booming as soon as the store opened.
After yesterday's training, the group is now working together in a very organized manner.
Lin Yu then handed the shop over to them and went to the housing management office.
The staff greeted her politely: "Comrade Lin, your store is doing very well."
Lin Yu said modestly, "It's all thanks to everyone's help. I brought you some things."
She packed a large gift bag containing all their products.
That's enough for a few people at the housing management office to split among themselves.
"He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated," the staff member said, and became even more enthusiastic.
"I'll take you to see some houses now; these houses meet your requirements perfectly."
Lin Yu requested a separate courtyard with at least two rooms.
Because there are both men and women in their household, it's impossible for them to live together.
The reason for wanting a separate courtyard is that sometimes salespeople may need to take the money they collect that day back with them.
Therefore, a place of residence needs to be private and secure.
The staff showed her several places, all of which were independent courtyards.
In the end, Lin Yu chose the one closest to the store, which was only a ten-minute walk away.
The courtyard is directly managed by the housing management office, and the rent is also paid to the housing management office.
The monthly rent is three yuan, which is cheaper than a shop.
Lin Yu also paid for six months' worth of fees directly.
There are three rooms in the courtyard, enough for several employees to live in.
Lin Yu plans to use one room as a girls' dormitory and the other as a boys' dormitory.
The rest is for the store manager.
The store manager is currently Song Meili, but she is only temporarily in charge.
After the store stabilizes, she will go back to work at the factory.
The next factory manager will be chosen from among the current four employees.
It needs to be examined by Song Meili and Lin Yu, and then voted on by everyone.
After renting the house, Lin Yu returned to the specialty store.
"Hey girl, what brings you here?"
After finding a shop, Lin Yu called the machinery factory and told Da Niu the address.
I thought she would have to wait a few days to come over.
"It's only been three days, why are you here already?"
The young woman was helping to set up the merchandise when she heard this and said, "I've already started working here. Today is Sunday, so I can have the day off."
Lin Yu slapped her forehead: "Oh yeah, I forgot, you can rest on Sundays."
The young woman smiled and nodded: "I came over and saw that everyone was very busy, so I came to help."
It's lunchtime now, everyone's gone home for lunch, so the shop isn't that busy.
Lin Yu then asked her, "How's work? Has anyone bullied you?"
The young woman shook her head and said, "No, everything is normal. I'm still getting familiar with the job."
Everyone knows she was brought in by the factory manager, so no one would bully her.
