"Seeing is believing. I can take you to my shop, or you can check with the Industry and Commerce Bureau," He Wenlin said with a smile. "Sister Guo, I sincerely invite you to come and help me."
Guo Haili still found it hard to believe.
It took me a while to process this.
She asked, "We'll talk about the part-time job later. I wanted to ask you, if you're not here to sell egg rolls, what are you selling?"
"I'm here to sell vouchers..."
He Wenlin took out the vouchers from HG Shirt Factory and introduced them, saying, "You can take a look. These are vouchers that HG Shirt Factory bought from us."
With the holidays approaching, Mr. Wu felt that sending oil, rice, and drinks every year was getting boring.
She learned that her factory employees ordered meals from me every day, so she bought vouchers at a rate of 88 yuan per employee, intending to distribute them as Mid-Autumn Festival benefits to her employees.
Aunt Wang from the Bosi Garment Factory next door also bought vouchers from me as a Mid-Autumn Festival benefit.
Actually, your factory's employees are also loyal customers of my small shop; they eat here for almost every meal. If you buy my vouchers as employee benefits, you'll save money and hassle, and your employees will be happy too.
"How much are the vouchers? What price will you give us if we buy them?" Guo Haili asked.
“A 10% discount means the employees will receive a cash value of 100 yuan, but you only need to give them 90 yuan. This is the lowest price, and it can't be any lower,” He Wenlin said. “HG Shirt Factory uses vouchers and mooncakes for holidays, which is convenient, the employees are satisfied, and it also saves on expenses.”
"Keep this here, I'll discuss it with my brother later."
"no problem."
This is a sample, and it says it cannot be used in the store, so giving it to her is perfectly reasonable.
"Sister Guo, are you interested in the part-time job?" He Wenlin asked again.
"You're really planning to let me do this part-time job?" Guo Haili thought He Wenlin was just trying to get closer to her.
"Of course it's true! Of course, if you can't do it, then I'm sorry."
He Wenlin wants to do business with Hongda, and with Guo Haili involved, the business will be more secure.
However, if Guo Haili can't do the job, then He Wenlin will have to find someone else to do it. It's not worth it for her to spend several hundred yuan a month to support an idle person just to earn a little money from Hongda.
"I graduated from a proper accounting and finance vocational school. It's just bookkeeping, why can't I do it?"
"That's great, sis. Think about it. Our companies are so close, and there's no competition between us. You can definitely come and do my accounting."
"Can't you give me a raise?"
“My dear sister, four hundred yuan is already a lot. A full-time job only pays a little over a thousand yuan.”
"I'll think about it. You should go back first and not stay here. I'll also discuss the voucher with my brother."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. Thank you, sis. Think it over carefully about the part-time job."
Guo Haili waved to He Wenlin.
He Wenlin then left, planning to return around 5 p.m.
After leaving Hongda, He Wenlin rode her bicycle to get the vouchers with the character "Lin" written on them sealed, and then cut them out one by one.
Because this was to be used as money, and it wasn't to be taken away immediately, the amount had to match, and He Wenlin had to have him sign it when handing it over to the printing shop.
They had to take back exactly how many sheets they received when He Wenlin came to pick up the goods; otherwise, they would have to pay compensation.
He Wenlin also commissioned a signboard for her breakfast shop here – Zao Haha Breakfast Shop (my friend's shop is called Zao Haha, and I was too lazy to come up with a name, so I just used this one).
When she left, He Wenlin took with her the banner that she had ordered here.
When we got back to the store, it was already past three o'clock, and Mr. He had also returned.
Upon seeing He Wenlin return, He's father hurriedly asked, "Linlin, did the Hongda voucher deal go through?"
"Not yet. I talked to Mr. Guo's sister today, and I'll go there again this afternoon when they're about to leave work," He Wenlin said. "If it works out, we'll have money to expand production."
How confident are you?
"It's hard to say. I ran into Hongda's boss's sister today. Hongda's boss is too busy to deal with me. If it doesn't work out with his sister, I'll think of another way later."
Giving up is impossible; I will never give up in this lifetime.
"Dad, is everything ready at the breakfast shop?" He Wenlin asked.
"The tiles have all been laid, and the stainless steel table, coal briquettes, steamer, pots, and other supplies have all been purchased. We've scheduled delivery for 8 a.m. tomorrow."
The tiles were just laid today, so they won't dry quickly. We need to clean up first before installation, so we scheduled delivery for tomorrow.
In the afternoon, after all the takeout orders were ready, He Wenlin washed her face and went to Hongda.
I happened to see Guo Haili closing her office door, preparing to leave work.
"Sister Guo, are you off work yet?"
"You don't need to rush, come back tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow morning. Sister Guo, remember to consider the part-time job too."
After Guo Haili said that, He Wenlin naturally felt embarrassed to stay any longer.
When He Wenlin returned to the store, it was already packed with people.
"Boss," Peng Liang called out.
Then he reported on his work over the past two days: "I specifically went to ask the people at the supply and marketing cooperative supermarket about the store with the best business on the pedestrian street."
Especially during holidays and weekends, it's almost always packed. There's also a shop on Shengli Road that does quite well.
I've been to both stores. I spent some money, bought two packs of good cigarettes, and asked the manager there. The Shengli Road store has a daily turnover of around 130,000 to 140,000 yuan, and around 200,000 yuan on weekends. The one on the pedestrian street has a weekday turnover of around 300,000 yuan, and around 370,000 to 380,000 yuan on weekends, and it can reach 500,000 yuan during the Chinese New Year!
At this time, the prices of goods are generally not high, so the fact that the turnover is still so high shows the high foot traffic.
Peng Liang continued, "The Wenshan Village vegetable market and the market near us actually have decent customer traffic, but we have partnerships with Boss Luo and Boss Guo. If we go to other small supermarkets and rent their space to sell frozen goods, they might have some reservations."
"Then you should talk to Boss Luo and Boss Guo. They will cover half of the venue fee and prepare at least four freezers. I will provide people and samples for promotion. If they are willing, we can cooperate together. If they are not interested, we can do it ourselves! As for the two stores you mentioned, tonight we will go to the supply and marketing supermarket on the pedestrian street."
"Okay, then I'll go find Boss Guo first."
After saying that, Peng Liang quickly went to the market to find Guo Dali. Luo Zhonghui happened to be there as well, and Peng Liang told them about the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day promotional plans.
Upon hearing that they needed to prepare a venue and provide freezers—and the worst part was that they needed four freezers!—Guo Dali shook his head repeatedly.
Luo Zhonghui, on the other hand, was very interested. As soon as the market closed, he came directly to He Wenlin to discuss the matter in detail.
