Chapter 251: The Businessman's Astuteness
Seeing her husband's mysterious look, Jiang Shengmei didn't know what Xia Mi could not say on the street.
In Jiang Shengmei's heart, Xia Mi is a very simple person.
Jiang Weidong listened to her and shook his head. From the beginning to the end, the only two simple people were his wife and Fan Chunhua.
Chen Zhihui originally thought that most people were attracted by the buy-one-get-one-free promotion, but what he didn't expect was that most people were there to buy a refrigerator and get a radio for free, as well as three years of warranty.
He wished he had ten mouths to deal with it.
There were two newly hired sales comrades in the store, as well as Li Meng, Li Yuan and Xiao Wang. Including him, there were six people and he couldn't take care of them all.
"Hello comrade, what would you like to choose?"
After finally taking a break, Shen Zhihui noticed Jiang Ling who was choosing home appliances. Seeing that the person was hesitant, he decisively walked up to him and started a conversation.
Jiang Ling didn't take his eyes off the refrigerator. "Let me take a look at the refrigerator. Do you have any bigger ones here?"
Knowing Jiang Shengmei's love of stockpiling, Jiang Ling looked around and found that none of the refrigerators had the size she wanted.
"Yes, I'll take you over there." Shen Zhihui raised his hand and motioned her to look to the left.
There are fewer people over there.
Jiang Ling nodded, thinking that her parents were also there, "Okay, my parents were there too."
When everyone gathered together, Shen Zhihui realized that the person in front of him was Jiang Weidong's daughter.
Jiang Weidong looked at Shen Zhihui. The person now was no longer the Shen Zhihui he remembered.
The people in my memory spoke in a very literary way, with a sour taste of literature, and used literature to curse others in a roundabout way.
Look at people today, they have short hair, wear extraordinary clothes, and their temperament is completely different from before. Their eyes reveal the shrewdness of a businessman, and what they say is much easier to understand.
"Captain Jiang, long time no see. Is this your daughter?"
Shen Zhihui saw that Jiang Ling and Jiang Weidong were somewhat similar. He didn't notice it when they were alone, but the father and daughter looked very similar when they stood together.
Jiang Weidong nodded. "Long time no see. Seeing you again really opens my eyes."
"No, I just faced reality and started working hard to get what I could." Chen Zhihui spoke about the changes between the past and the present, his demeanor generous. "You want to buy a refrigerator, right?"
Shen Zhihui led the group to a refrigerator, which was much larger than the others.
As he spoke, Shen Zhihui opened the door on the upper floor and began to introduce people.
"This single-door refrigerator is 1.8 meters long and has two modes. One is for safety, which keeps the temperature low so things won't get frozen. It's suitable for storing vegetables, fruits, eggs, and so on."
After introducing the above, he continued to introduce the door below.
Shen Zhihui knew that people who bought such large refrigerators simply had a lot of things, and what these customers needed most was a large capacity.
After identifying customer needs, Shen Zhihui then began to look for larger capacity and to compare the speed at which food spoils in summer as an aid.
Jiang Shengmei couldn't resist the temptation. When she heard that it could hold a lot of things and came with a three-year on-site warranty service, she almost paid for it on the spot.
"This refrigerator is big, but the price is definitely better than those smaller ones."
Jiang Shengmei had just compared the prices of other refrigerators. The small ones generally cost between 500 and 800 yuan, but this one, which was so much bigger, only cost 900 yuan. Of course, she knew it was a good deal.
Jiang Weidong naturally doesn't care about these things, it all depends on what his lover likes.
“It’s nine hundred, but I can’t really take your money.
Captain Jiang took such good care of me on the island before. Your kindness cannot be measured by money.
"This refrigerator is a gift from me. I'll visit you again when I have time. Mrs. Jiang, if you need any appliances at home, feel free to come to our store and choose one."
The days when he first arrived on the island were extremely dark for Shen Zhihui.
Jiang Weidong's care is like a ray of light in his world.
"No, this is not okay. Your uncle owes me a favor, and it has nothing to do with you. You should settle the bill accordingly. If people find out, you're going to harm me."
Jiang Weidong was very cautious. He knew that Shen Zhihui had good intentions. In order to prevent someone with ulterior motives from alienating their relationship, it was best to proceed as planned.
Shen Zhihui couldn't charge the original price, "How about this, I'll give you a discount, how about 70% off?"
Jiang Weidong’s eyes were as sharp as a knife, shooting straight at Shen Zhihui.
"40% off, 40% off is fine!" Shen Zhihui lowered his voice, worried that other customers would hear him, and sounded anxious and helpless.
Jiang Weidong noticed his wife's eyes, which seemed to say, "If you don't agree, I'm going to kill you."
"That's no problem."
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Shengmei almost jumped up with joy, attracting the attention of people nearby.
"Come on, I'll go get you a bill. Ma'am, please leave your address and I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to your door later."
Jiang Shengmei felt strange when she heard Shen Zhihui's address. "Just call me aunt. This lady makes me scared."
"Okay, Auntie, is your family still in need of a radio? If you like, I can give you two more."
"Not only that, but I don't know what to do with this one you gave me." Jiang Shengmei refused repeatedly. She was not so greedy as to continue taking advantage after having already taken advantage.
Shen Zhihui smiled and nodded, "Auntie, to be honest, you look a bit like my aunt. It seems that I was right to call you auntie."
"Really? How old is your aunt?" Jiang Shengmei likes people who are good at talking. It's not boring to be with them.
"She seems to have just turned forty this year."
Chen Zhihui took Jiang Shengmei to the cashier and talked to her while writing the order by hand.
Jiang Shengmei is already in her fifties, and when she suddenly heard someone say that she looked like a man who was only forty, she felt so happy that her liking for Chen Zhihui increased rapidly.
"Auntie, the list is ready, please take a look and see if there are any problems."
Shen Zhihui handed the receipt to Jiang Shengmei with both hands.
Jiang Shengmei confirmed, "No problem."
After Shen Zhihui collected the money, he invited everyone to have lunch at noon.
Jiang Weidong guessed that Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen rejected him just now because they were going to have lunch with Shen Zhihui.
"Don't worry, Captain Jiang. It's just the few of us. The people in the store are busy delivering goods, so they definitely won't have time for lunch. I'll organize everyone to eat after they rest."
Jiang Weidong rarely has free time. Today he met Huo Jingchen and Shen Zhihui, and he didn't want to waste this opportunity to have a meal.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Jiang Shengmei was surprised.
After leaving the store, Jiang Ling couldn't help but ask his father, "Dad, don't you usually dislike this kind of dinner? Why did you suddenly agree to it?"
"I have a feeling Jingchen will be there too. I could tell from the way the couple left in such a hurry just now."
Jiang Shengmei suddenly realized and became curious, "Xia Mi and Shen Zhihui have a good relationship?"
"It's very good." Jiang Weidong smiled.
-
Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen went to ask two hotels, and they found one that had a private room, so they booked it without saying a word.
This place was not far from Shen Zhihui's original store, so Huo Jingchen and Xia Mi split into two groups.
Xia Mi went to the store to rest and wait for time to pass. Huo Jingchen went to the store to help and would come with Shen Zhihui when the time came.
There are new apprentices running the store now.
When Xia Mi entered the store, accountant Zhou Xiumin was also in the store. The new apprentice Wang Haojie was looking at the parts on the repair table with a headache, racking his brains to think about what to do next.
When Zhou Xiumin turned the page and was about to register the next account, she saw Xia Mi walk in from outside.
"Sister Xia Mi, didn't you go to the new store?"
"I've been there, and there are more people than I imagined. It's too crowded. I'm coming back to rest for a while."
Zhou Xiumin nodded, her eyes showing the desire to go and see.
"Xiao Min, your boss asked me to ask you before, is it difficult for you to manage the accounts on both sides?"
Zhou Xiumin studied accounting, but for some reasons, she did not continue working in her original unit.
"No, it's all the same. As long as the accounts are not messy, they can be sorted out quickly."
In the past, Xia Mi dared to guarantee that the accounts would not be messy, but now she doesn’t dare. As more people come to the store, the invoices and other things will also increase. As long as there are a lot of things, there will be chaos, it’s just a matter of the degree of chaos.
"Then wait until he comes back and tells you."
Zhou Xiumin nodded, then returned to the matter at hand.
"Hello, is Mr. Shen here?" A man rushed in hurriedly, sweat dripping down his forehead, and he was scorching hot.
The other two did not respond, and both assumed that Xia Mi would take over.
"He is opening a new store today and is not here. If you have something important to talk to him about, you can go to No. 212 Zhuzi Street next door." Xia Mi saw that the man looked hurried and guessed that something big must have happened.
The man was so tired that he raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and looked at the sun outside. He really didn't want to run around anymore.
Xia Mi brought a chair for him and said, "Sit down and rest for a while before going over."
Zhou Xiumin also poured someone a glass of water.
Li Haomin didn't expect that the employees in Shen Zhihui's store were so considerate. They let him sit down and poured water for him.
Xia Mi pressed the shaking button on the back of the fan, and the fan began to shake and turn, taking care of everyone.
Li Haomin greedily enjoyed the moment of coolness. He was really exhausted. He walked six kilometers under the scorching sun to get there.
Xia Mi looked at the person whose cheeks were flushed and who was breathing heavily. She was so hot that she even wanted to lift her clothes.
She found the Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid that Shen Zhihui bought last time, “Comrade, why don’t you drink some of this first to prevent heatstroke.”
"Thank you, comrade." Li Haomin took the Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid from Xia Mi's hand without any hesitation.
He unscrewed the lid and drank it all in one gulp. The strong smell made him frown and feel uncomfortable for a moment.
After drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid, the heat in Li Haomin's body gradually dissipated, and the discomfort he had just felt disappeared without a trace.
He saw that the other two were working, but Xia Mi was the only one not doing anything and was reading a newspaper.
Isn’t Boss Shen single? Who is this?
"Comrade, may I ask about your relationship with Boss Shen?" Li Haomin said politely.
Xia Mi put down the newspaper, "We are good friends."
The man nodded, then realized something was wrong. What Boss Shen had said at the time was that he wanted to find a factory for his friend, and he looked at the woman in front of him.
"I see. I came to see Boss Shen today because one of his friends was looking for a factory, and I happened to have a factory vacant."
After Li Haomin finished speaking, he secretly observed Xia Mi's expression.
Xia Mi put down the newspaper, knowing that this should be the factory that Shen Zhihui had found for her.
After looking for three or four factories, Xia Mi didn't find any that she liked.
"Really? That's a coincidence. I'm the friend that Boss Shen mentioned." Xia Mi folded the newspaper and put it aside, wanting to learn more details about the factory from the man.
She didn't want to make another wasted trip, so she wanted to understand the situation clearly before going.
"Really? That's such a coincidence!" Li Haomin also looked very surprised. "My name is Li Haomin. I look much older than you. You can call me Brother Hao. I'm in the seafood business now."
"Hello, Brother Hao, my name is Xia Mi, you can just call me Xiao Xia."
After a brief acquaintance, Xia Mi learned about the situation of the factory from Li Haomin. The factory was not large, with a total area of only five or six hundred square meters, most of which was air. There were two factory buildings, which were more like workshops. One was for sorting and the other for packaging, which accounted for nearly two hundred square meters.
After hearing this, Xia Mi compared it with the factories she had seen before. It was indeed much smaller than the others, but this was exactly what she wanted at the moment.
After listening to Li Haomin's introduction, Xia Mi was temporarily satisfied.
"Why don't you come with me and take a look? No matter what I say, it's not as good as you taking a look. It's not far from here, about six kilometers away."
When they heard the distance, not only Xia Mi was stunned, but Zhou Xiumin and Wang Haojie were also stunned.
Zhou Xiumin reminded, "Sister Xia Mi, it's so sunny, and you're still pregnant. Why don't you wait until next time?"
"Are you pregnant?" Li Haoming put away his smile and looked at Xia Mi's belly in disbelief.
Xia Mi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. She raised her hand and placed it on her belly, "Well, the month is not too far along yet, so walking six kilometers normally shouldn't be a big problem.
It’s just that the sun is so strong today, and even a grown man like you almost got a heat stroke just walking around. If I were to go with you now, I’d definitely not be able to handle it.”
Li Haoming thought so too. If he walked a few hundred meters more, he would definitely fall down.
The ground outside is hot for your feet.
"Okay, let's make an appointment for a day when the weather is a little cooler." After learning that he couldn't go today, Li Haoming would be lying if he said he wasn't disappointed.
"I don't think we need to wait until tomorrow. I can go over and take a look when the sun goes down tonight. I just wonder if you, Brother Hao, are free?"
Finding a factory took longer than Xia Mi expected, and she was a little anxious now.
Chen Zhihui has bought a small truck, which makes travel more convenient. Xia Mi thought that the goods should be delivered by the evening, and she would borrow the truck to take a look then.
Huo Jingchen happened to be there and he could drive.
"When you're free, I live nearby. When you come over, you can ask Boss Shen to call me in advance and I'll open the door for you."
Li Haoming explained, "To be honest, I have to go on a long trip in the next two days. If I don't resolve this matter today, it will probably be the end of the month when I come back."
His factory was small and few people were interested in it. Moreover, it was some distance from the city, so even fewer people were willing to rent it.
He heard that Shen Zhihui was looking for a small factory, so he rushed over as soon as he received the news.
"It seems that fate has brought me to the store to rest today." Xia Mi joked. If you have a good relationship with people now, it will be easier to bargain if you really like them.
Li Haoming smiled and felt that Xia Mi was very different from what he had imagined.
"Then I'll go back and wait for news." Li Haoming had recovered and before leaving, he didn't forget to express his gratitude, "Thank you for the water and Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid."
