Although An'an said she didn't need it, she was still very happy that Yu Jiu really asked Xu Zi to take her to school.
The next day, she held Xu Zijiang's hand, humming a song, and skipped off to school like a cute little rabbit.
"A child who says one thing but means another."
Yu Jiu smiled and shook her head. Then she went to help out at the store. Today was the second day of the promotion, and as usual, there would be quite a few customers. Sure enough, the store got busy again soon after she arrived.
The same marketing tactics are used: first, show the product to the customer; if the customer is interested in buying more, then strictly adhere to today's promotional offer; if the customer only wants to buy one item, then let her share with other customers, or simply say that it's fate that we're here, and give her yesterday's promotional offer directly.
In short, it's full of tricks, but it's also mutually beneficial.
The store gets lively whenever there's a promotion, and most of the business is done during those promotions. Otherwise, they only sell a few items at a time, and the sales volume isn't high. When things quiet down, Sun Haohao would ask Yu Jiu about it with concern.
"Have we been selling too few clothes lately? Will this lead to a loss? If so, I'm willing to forgo that much salary. Sister Yu, please don't give me that extra 5 yuan."
She was terrified that the Perfect Clothing Store would go out of business, leaving her jobless. Working here was not only easy and pleasant, but the work environment was also great, and the pay was high. They even provided her with accommodation. She couldn't believe she could find a better job. She thought that even if she were an adult, it would be difficult to find one, let alone before she was an adult.
"Silly child, who would voluntarily ask for a raise? Don't worry, it's only 5 yuan, your sister can afford it. You don't need to worry about the shop. As long as the shop sells a few pieces of clothing every day, that's fine. After all, we sold a lot during our promotions. Business is about long-term success. It's not like a restaurant that can be popular every day. You don't need to buy clothes every meal, but you do need to eat every meal."
Yu Jiu chuckled and rejected her suggestion. It was only an extra 5 yuan a month; she didn't need to be stingy with her for that little bit of money.
She offered to take a pay cut, but the boss refused. Sun Haohao felt even more that she had met a good person and was determined to stay there for the long term.
Because she is clever and hardworking, she can manage the store very well. Even when Yu Jiu is not around, she can handle it all by herself, except when there are too many people and she needs help during promotional events.
So during this period, Yu Jiu left the clothing store in her care while she and Xu Zijiang went to work on the new store, which was a huge project.
The budget was initially tight, but the clothing store made a lot of money after holding a promotion, so the two decided to put the money into the store first. They then hired a tile setter to replace all the old roof tiles with new ones to prevent the old ones from falling down and injuring people.
The interior has also been demolished and replanned. Since the front is long enough, it could actually be divided into two shops, as long as another door is opened.
However, since the two originally sold snacks and alcohol together, and might add tobacco business later, the space needed was already quite large. Dividing it into two shops would be too narrow, so the two decided to only have one shop, using about four-thirds of the area, and then dividing the remaining 1/4 of the area into a small cubicle to put a bed in and make a simple rest room so that they could sleep there when they stayed here to watch the shop at night.
Once the renovations were complete, the snacks and liquor were also ready, and they could be put up for sale immediately. Not only did they advertise at the shop entrance, but Yu Jiu also posted ads at the clothing store entrance, informing everyone about the newly opened snack shop that also sold liquor.
In addition, Yu Jiu instructed Sun Haohao to mention the pastry shop on the next street when guests came in. Then Yu Jiu went to the pastry shop to help sell pastries, while Xu Zijiang was still at the door opening the loudspeaker to attract customers, and sometimes even went outside. The most important thing was to let everyone know that a pastry shop had opened here, selling pastry gift boxes and also selling liquor, which could be given as gifts.
First, let everyone know what the store sells. Then, people came to watch the excitement. On the first day, Kaiyujiu and Xu Zijiang were very generous. Just like in the pastry counter in the department store, they cut some pastries for everyone to try.
Their pastries are made with a special recipe, so of course they taste delicious. They've sold them before, and they suit the local palates, so many people choose to buy them after trying them. Some people are also drawn to their packaging.
It was all so fancy and tasted so good that some people actually bought gift boxes to take home as gifts. But just giving snacks wasn't enough, so people also bought some liquor.
Don't be fooled by the small number of people in the dim sum shop; the actual sales rate is very high. Everyone buys and leaves without lingering, unlike the clothing store. So, although the dim sum shop may not seem very lively at the start of the year, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang have already made a fortune.
Moreover, baijiu isn't just for gifting; many people enjoy drinking it too. With the grand opening and special offers, everyone naturally wants to buy. Some heavy drinkers even stock up on several bottles at once. After all, before, you needed ration coupons to buy alcohol; even if you had money and coupons, you still couldn't get any, so you couldn't bring yourself to drink it.
The environment is much better now, and it's much more convenient to buy things, so everyone keeps spending money.
Now that both stores are open, hiring another employee is inevitable. However, hiring one for each store isn't really necessary, since one person can basically handle the workload at the pastry shop.
When things are slow at the clothing store, they don't really need two people, so after discussing it, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang decided to hire just one employee. However, the employee should be able to work at both stores simultaneously, meaning they could go to whichever store needed them. After all, selling clothes, snacks, and alcohol are all the same, and selling snacks and alcohol is even easier than selling clothes.
And since it was just across the street, running back and forth wouldn't be a problem, so the two of them hired another female employee. They originally wanted to hire a male, but after looking at several men, they didn't feel very reliable. They weren't as obedient and composed as girls, so in the end they simply hired a girl. Anyway, it didn't matter, the pastry shop didn't need a new employee to watch over it.
The new employees were trained by Yu Jiu in just a few days and had a thorough understanding of the business of both stores. Now Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang can finally relax.
These past few days, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang have been taking turns taking An'an to school and picking her up from school, and An'an is overjoyed.
Yu Jiu then told her some good news.
"Tomorrow, Mom and Dad are going to take you out to play. Tell me, where do you want to go?"
