The opening of the lottery box was not large to begin with, just big enough to fit a hand. Dongqing had the staff seal the opening with transparent tape, leaving only a tiny bit inside.
Su Ying said to the audience, "Please have an audience member come up and draw a prize for me."
As soon as Su Ying finished speaking, a woman in her thirties stepped onto the stage. She said, "First of all, let me state that I am a merchant from out of town who came here to purchase goods. I don't know anyone here. Today's lucky draw is truly refreshing. Now, I will draw the prize for this young lady."
After the woman finished speaking, she picked up the lottery box with both hands and shook it up and down. The opening for the lottery was too small, so it wasn't easy for a lottery ticket to pop out.
The woman shook the box for a long time before finally a lottery ticket jumped out.
The woman picked up the lottery ticket from the stage, and when she opened it, she was stunned. She had actually won the first prize—an air conditioner.
The woman said, "When you're lucky, you can win anything. This girl won an air conditioner; now everyone should have no doubts, right?"
If anyone questions this abstract approach, then all my efforts have been wasted, which was met with a round of applause from the audience.
According to the rules, whoever wins the prize gets to buy a string of firecrackers to set off on the podium.
Su Ying bought ten strings of firecrackers at once. She was so happy today. She never expected that a color TV would be exchanged for an air conditioner. The air conditioner was worth much more than the color TV. No wonder she was happy to win such a prize.
Everyone knew there was at least one color TV in the raffle box, and as expected, there was a big sale on retail goods. In the end, a middle-aged man took the color TV away.
Consumers have affirmed the authenticity of Su Ying's lottery draw.
Business at the department store wholesale market is booming today. Most merchants have sold out of stock by evening and have to restock overnight to keep their businesses afloat for the next day.
Today, on the first day of business, merchants who had previously had doubts about the department store wholesale market were reassured. The booming business surprised them greatly, and they were mostly delighted.
Dongqing asked her second sister to notify all the merchants in the department store wholesale market, and an emergency meeting was held that evening.
At the meeting, Dong Ermei said, "The general manager just asked me to call an emergency meeting. Our first day of opening was a great success. I hope that all the merchants here will work together to make our market a booming success. Such good sales on the first day of opening is a good omen."
We must build a trustworthy reputation among our customers in the long run, avoid arbitrary price increases, and adhere to the principle of small profits and quick turnover. As a wholesale market, we must leave enough room for customers from all over the country to make money; otherwise, our market will be eliminated sooner or later. Everyone understands this better than I do.
I warned some merchants not to jeopardize everyone's livelihood for petty profits. I made it clear upfront that if any merchant is found to be arbitrarily raising prices or selling counterfeit goods, they should immediately leave this market. We should all supervise and report each other. For each complaint, if the facts are verified, the company will reward you with 10,000 yuan. The company will keep the complainant's identity absolutely confidential.
I hope none of the merchants will set this precedent. Next, Manager Gu from the company will speak.
Gu Yurou stood up and said, "As Deputy General Manager Dong just explained, for the long-term stable development of our market, we hope everyone will unconditionally comply. Only with a sound business philosophy can we create a favorable environment for the future development of our market."
A good reputation in a market is created through the joint efforts of everyone.
As everyone knows, our Yusheng Company waived six months' rent and invested a lot of manpower and financial resources. The total cost of opening this time was 2.18 million.
As you can imagine, our company invested such a large amount of money, and for six months we were losing money every day to provide services for everyone.
To sum up all that I've said, it all boils down to four words: working together to make our market thrive.
A good reputation in a market is built by everyone's efforts. If we rely solely on company oversight, our market will eventually be eliminated. That concludes my statement. I hope everyone will go down and earnestly implement and abide by these guidelines. Now, please welcome the company's Deputy Manager Fang to speak!
Fang Lin said, "The deputy general manager and manager Gu have already covered everything very comprehensively. I would like to add one more point: no matter what problems arise with customers, you must not argue with them. You must patiently explain to them. If it really doesn't work, please ask the relevant department of the company to mediate and handle the matter."
We must establish a civilized business environment to attract more customers and encourage them to patronize our establishment. A market's reputation is built through everyone's collective effort. As Manager Gu just mentioned, relying solely on departmental supervision is insufficient. I hope everyone will adhere to the market's operating regulations. That concludes my remarks.
Dong Ermei added a few more questions before adjourning the meeting.
When Dong Ermei got home from work, her husband was cooking in the kitchen. She went to the bedroom to change into a spring/autumn dress, then walked out of the bedroom and to the kitchen doorway, saying, "I'm going home to report to my younger brother about work. I'll be back for dinner in a bit."
Her husband said "okay," and Dong Ermei turned and walked out of the house.
She went into her brother's house. Her brother was sitting in the living room playing with his two daughters, while his wife was cooking in the kitchen.
Li Yuzhu came out of the kitchen and said, "Second Sister is here, please have a seat."
"You go ahead with your work, I'm going to give my brother a report on some things."
Li Yuzhu nodded and went back to the kitchen to cook, while Dong Ermei walked to the sofa and sat down.
Dong Qing asked, "Is the meeting over?"
Dong Ermei said, "I just got back from a meeting."
Dong Qing said, "The opening of the two markets today was a great success, but we cannot be complacent. We must maintain this momentum. Whether a market can continue to thrive depends mainly on its future development, and we cannot relax our management for a moment."
Dong Ermei said, "I understand all of this. Don't worry, your second sister will keep a close eye on things for you."
Dong Qing felt most at ease entrusting the entire business to his second sister, who was also the person he trusted most.
In her previous life, the second sister worked for him until she fell ill, at which point she resigned from her position as general manager of the company. Unexpectedly, she passed away a year after falling ill.
His second sister's words before she passed away in her previous life often lingered in his mind: "Brother, it's time for your second sister to go to the underworld to see our parents. I will tell them that their son is very promising and has made a name for himself over the years."
"Our Dong family can finally hold our heads high! I will tell your wife Li Yuzhu, who has been dead for nearly forty years, that you owe no one in this life except her, and that you owe her your life. If you are reborn and marry her, you must repay the debt you owed her in your past life. Do you understand, my foolish brother!"
Dongqing thought to herself, "My second sister's personality hasn't changed at all in this life. You're just as capable as you were in your past life."
After hearing this, Dong Ermei looked at her younger brother in confusion and said, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? What past lives and present lives? Past lives are just superstitious legends. People don't have past lives."
When people think too much, they sometimes blurt it out unintentionally. Dong Qing realized he had let something slip and laughed, saying, "Yes, your brother was just talking nonsense."
