Chapter 167: Business Review Not long after the two girls left, Dong Taohua...
Not long after the two girls left, Dong Taohua and Xu Hui came back with a bunch of lunch boxes.
"Hurry up and eat." Dong Taohua opened a lunch box and handed it to Xu Heye. Xu Heye took the lunch box and glanced at the number of lunch boxes left in the bag. She knew that Dong Taohua and Xu Hui had not eaten either.
She shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth and said in a slurred voice, "Mom and Dad, you guys should eat quickly too."
"Got it. Don't talk while eating. It'll give you a stomachache."
For fear of getting the oil and soup in the lunch boxes on their clothes, a group of people stood at the door of the store and ate rice very quickly. On the one hand, they were really hungry, and on the other hand, they were afraid that customers would come and they had not finished their meals yet.
Things were exactly as everyone thought. Xu Heye had just put down her bowl and chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue when a new customer came in.
People are still attracted by the car light advertisements.
Xu Heye smiled like a numb NPC, saying the same two sentences she had repeated before.
"Yes, guest, our family is that Southern lady."
"Yes, there's still a buy four get one free promotion."
Tomorrow, tomorrow we must find a way to distribute this work.
It's too unskilled, there's no need to waste her saliva over and over again, Xu Heye unscrewed the thermos and thought while drinking hot water.
This customer also revealed their busy second half of the day.
She was busy until 9:50 in the evening. After seeing off the last customer, Xu Heye closed the shop door neatly.
At this time, there were less than ten minutes left before the mall closed.
The other shop employees had already closed up shop and gone home, but Xu Heye and the others couldn't leave. They had to restock the empty shelves before they could go home, otherwise, when customers arrived tomorrow morning, they would be faced with an empty storefront.
By midnight, all the inventory in the warehouse had been put on the shelves, but the entire store was still not full. At least one-third of the hangers were empty.
These can only be made up the next day.
"Aunt, ask the factory to send more goods tomorrow. As for the goods from the wholesale market, I'll go home tonight and write an order, and we'll go there to restock tomorrow morning."
Today, she was mainly in charge of the cash register. She might not remember which items were selling poorly, but she still remembered the ones that were selling well. Tomorrow's restocking would focus on these best-selling items.
"Got it, don't stay up too late."
"Yeah." After getting in the taxi, Xu Heye began to review today's sales. It was as she expected that the store's main models sold more, and most of the orders were placed directly after she, her mother, aunt, and cousin saw how they looked.
But the warehouse has more than just four sets of goods in stock, so perhaps we can hire a few more young and good-looking girls to work part-time as salespeople and models in the store.
In this way, my uncle, Uncle Lu and others won’t have to be trapped in the shop.
In women's clothing stores, male salespeople are still not that convenient.
When she was at the cashier, several customers complained that they were embarrassed to ask the male salesperson to get their clothes. If her aunt or mother was busy, she would have to wait until they finished serving other customers before calling them.
Xu Heye took out the ballpoint pen and small notebook she carried with her and wrote the words "Recruiting Shop Assistants" on them.
In addition, there must be someone at the factory who is specifically responsible for adjusting the goods.
The store's warehouse is limited in size and can't hold many clothes. A customer wanted to buy several styles of clothing, but the store didn't have the right sizes, so she ended up having to cancel her order.
If there is someone following the order, if she is short of the size, she will quickly call back and ask them to adjust the goods, so that those orders will not be lost.
After returning home, Xu Heye went straight into the study and found the previous order book. Fortunately, when she went to order for the first time, Xu Heye was busy and still insisted on writing down the product number, style and the name of the store where the product was sold.
Now you just need to select the styles that sell well, and then go to the wholesale market tomorrow to find the corresponding store and buy the goods directly.
This matter is not difficult to say, but it is actually very difficult, complicated and easy to confuse.
After all, she doesn't have a photographic memory. Some styles are named "white round-neck sweater", but one has straight sleeves and the other has petal sleeves, and the sales of the two are very different.
If Xu Heye wants to find out the models that really sell well, she needs to recall the memories of the past two days and match the models she saw at the wholesale market with those she saw at the checkout yesterday.
This method of relying solely on memory to distinguish authenticity is really not very reliable.
Because sometimes even memory can be deceiving.
It seems that I need to buy a camera and keep it in the store to record the styles that sell well at any time, so that I can decide the price based on the pictures when I place orders later.
Just as Xu Heye was thinking, there was a knock on the study door.
"Come in."
Dong Taohua brought in a bowl of hot egg noodles: "Eat something to warm yourself up." The weather was so cold that when Xu Heye got home, her lips had turned purple from the cold and her stomach was rumbling.
"Mom, please put it aside first. I'll eat it later." She wanted to go through the entire order book in one go.
"Eat first." Dong Taohua said, snatching the order book from Xu Heye's hand, "It's not much. It won't take much time to eat a bowl of noodles. You can't work on an empty stomach." People who have experienced starvation have a strong obsession with having a full stomach.
Eat now to warm your body, then after you finish your work, soak your feet and go to bed.
Xu Heye raised her head and looked at Dong Taohua. Meeting her firm and unquestionable gaze, she had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay." She took the bowl of noodles. There were indeed not many noodles in the bowl. After all, Dong Taohua just wanted her to fill her stomach, not to let her have insomnia at night due to indigestion.
"Mom, you should go and eat too." After finishing the noodles and eggs in the bowl in a few bites, Xu Heye continued to check the order book.
Dong Taohua held the empty bowl and looked at her daughter's back as she worked intently at her desk. A trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, but she said nothing. If you want to earn more money than others, you must take on greater responsibilities, regardless of age.
After checking the order book, Xu Heye found his tape recorder and a blank tape, intending to record a spoken advertisement and play it on a loop at the entrance of the store.
In the living room, Dong Taohua and Xu Hui had already washed up and were ready to rest.
Xu Hui knocked on the study door and reminded, "He Ye, Mom has filled the hot water bottle for you. When you're done, come out and soak your feet and go back to your room to rest."
"Okay." Xu Heye responded and continued to devote herself to recording.
The couple listened to the noise in the house and sighed.
In the middle of the night, Xu Hui was thirsty and got up to drink some water. Then he heard faint voices coming from the study.
He rubbed his eyes, walked over and knocked on the door, "He Ye, are you still awake?"
Xu Heye paused the recording. Xu Hui pushed open the door and walked in. He looked at his watch and said, "It's already three o'clock. Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Xu Heye shook her head and pointed at her repeater, "But my oral commercial hasn't been recorded yet."
Xu Heye strives for excellence in everything she does, and this spoken word advertisement is related to the customer's first impression of the store.
She hopes to record sound that is clear, smooth, round, focused, and bright, so that even if you hear it as an advertisement, it will still sound clean and pleasant, rather than the kind of "clearance" advertisement that screams and makes people feel upset.
"You have to go to bed even if the recording is not finished." Xu Hui forcefully snatched the recorder from Xu Heye's hand and dragged her to the room.
"Hey, Dad, I haven't brushed my teeth or washed up yet!"
"You won't die if you don't wash for a day. Go to bed." Xu Hui pointed at Xu Heye's dark eyelids, feeling distressed and angry. "Look at your dark circles. They're almost as beautiful as a giant panda's."
Xu Heye: “…”
"Old man, you are quite humorous." Xu Heye laughed. She was not sleepy at all now. She felt that if she was given a little more time, she would be able to express her ideal feeling.
Xu Hui didn't say anything, just looked at Xu Heye.
Xu Heye shut her mouth. She knew her father was angry. Xu Hui usually had a good temper and didn't get angry easily, but when he did, neither she nor Dong Taohua dared to offend him.
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll go to sleep now." Xu Heye said, throwing back the quilt and going to bed. She thought she couldn't sleep, but she fell into a deep sleep within two minutes of closing her eyes.
Xu Hui sighed, took off her thick cotton coat, covered her with bedding, then tiptoed out of the room and turned off the lights.
After all this trouble, Xu Hui couldn't sleep. He went to the study, picked up Xu Heye's recorder, and after a few experiments, he figured out how to record.
"Cough cough." Xu Hui coughed twice to soothe his throat, tried a few times, and then recorded a very suitable spoken advertisement.
I pressed the play button, the tape started playing, and I could hear a deep baritone voice on the tape recorder, reading out in a steady, rhythmic voice: "Southern Women's Clothing is having a grand opening. New winter clothes are high quality and affordable. Buy four, get one free. Welcome to shop."
Turning off the repeater, Xu Hui's eyes flashed with helplessness. What a silly daughter! Her parents were right there with her, but she didn't even think to ask them for help.
Xu Hui is indeed a math teacher, but he has also taught a Chinese class before. In order to read the text well and read the article with intonation and emotion, he has practiced it specifically and even consulted the staff of the county radio station.
