Chapter 339
The music and video store has been busy ever since it officially opened at nine o'clock in the morning.
Ji Wanmei's membership system is also quite scientific.
After obtaining a membership card with your ID card or student ID, you can rent a place using only your membership card without having to prepay.
When you return the property, you will be charged based on the number of days you rented it.
A DVD costs one yuan, which means you can watch a movie with a group of friends for just one yuan. This is much more cost-effective than buying tickets at the cinema.
There are also regulations that stipulate that the rental period for a disc or a cassette tape cannot exceed one week.
This regulation is relatively humane.
Whether it's a movie or a cassette tape, students can easily watch or listen to it all in a week.
The membership card fee is ten yuan. Even with today's opening promotion and discount of 12%, it only costs eight yuan and eighty cents. According to the membership card rental and sales rules, even if someone deliberately fails to return the card for more than a week, the membership fee in the card will at least guarantee a minimum cost and won't result in a loss on the DV's production cost.
However, since everyone here is a college student, their overall quality is quite high, and such phenomena are rare.
In addition, the turnover of DVD rentals is relatively high. As long as the DVDs are well maintained, it should be no problem to rent out a single DVD dozens of times.
Ji Wanmei's store offers a wide variety of products and styles. With a membership card, you can access the most videos and music at the lowest price, which is a great deal.
After registering their cards, customers can go to the raffle box at the entrance to draw prizes.
When Fang Xiaoqin and Zhou Yuejuan arrived, a lucky customer had just drawn a first prize.
The prize is a free membership card.
But the customer had already paid the membership card fee in cash, so Ji Wanmei went over and said, "The prize for this award is another exclusive membership card for our store. You can enjoy a 12% discount on any item you rent or buy in our store with this card. If you don't want another membership card, I can also give you the card for cash instead."
The rules for using the card are clearly explained on the back when you apply for it.
Membership card users need to accumulate a certain number of points through spending before they can start enjoying VIP member benefits.
The customer, a male student, thought for a moment and said, "Can I exchange this VIP card I won for the regular card I already have?"
Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "Sure, I'll process it for you right now."
Fang Xiaoqin watched from the doorway for a while, then turned to Zhou Yuejuan and said dismissively, "Heh, it's just a way to lose money and gain publicity. I thought her business was really that good."
Zhou Yuejuan ignored Fang Xiaoqin's sarcastic remarks and instead stood on tiptoe to carefully examine Ji Wanmei's electronic audio-visual store.
Fang Xiaoqin was blinded by jealousy and ignored the essence of the matter.
She had no idea that the goods and equipment in this store would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan!
Zhou Yuejuan has a cousin who is a businessman. Her cousin, who is a few years older than her, likes to watch movies and play rock music. He spent a lot of money to buy a set of equipment for his home, which cost two or three thousand yuan. He treasures it very much. Every day, a group of disheveled musicians go to his house to have a gathering.
And those free color TVs placed at the entrance cost two or three thousand yuan each, which isn't cheap.
Based on this calculation, the equipment in Ji Wanmei's shop would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan to fully cover it.
To open a store and dare to invest tens of thousands of yuan, Ji Wanmei's investment is quite substantial.
Zhou Yuejuan secretly clicked her tongue in her heart, glad that she had brought a gift with her, at least it made her look presentable.
She quickly pushed Fang Xiaoqin aside, walked in with a smile, handed over the gift, and greeted, "Wanmei, congratulations! Wishing you a prosperous opening and booming business!"
"Wow, your place is so beautifully decorated, so classy! And all these DVDs, so many movies, I've never even heard of them before!"
Ji Wanmei was a little surprised that Zhou Yuejuan would come to support her, but since it was her new store opening day, everyone was a guest, so she smiled and accepted the gift: "Thank you, I'm a little busy right now, feel free to look around."
Seeing that Zhou Min and other classmates were helping out, Zhou Yuejuan said, "I see everyone is helping out, Wanmei, is there anything I can do to help?"
"Oh, no need. I'm not too busy now. Since you're all here, let's have lunch together later. It's on me today," Ji Wanmei said generously.
Today is the opening day, and as the boss, Ji Wanmei will treat all the classmates and friends who came to help to a meal together.
Fang Xiaoqin stood awkwardly at the door, neither coming in nor leaving, watching Zhou Yuejuan and Ji Wanmei chatting and laughing, and coughed a few times.
Zhou Yuejuan ignored Fang Xiaoqin and turned around to find that even senior Lu Zhuoxuan was helping out inside.
Zhou Yuejuan's eyes lit up immediately, and she said, "It's okay, it's okay, I can help."
Ji Wanmei saw Zhou Yuejuan walk towards the shop and Lu Zhuoxuan's direction. She understood her intentions and didn't bother to interfere anymore, letting her go.
Out of the corner of her eye, Ji Wanmei noticed that Fang Xiaoqin was still standing awkwardly at the door, but she ignored her.
She's busy right now and doesn't have time to deal with these annoying people and things.
Fang Xiaoqin stood outside alone for a while, and seeing that no one paid attention to her, she left with a grim expression.
Ji Wanmei and her group of friends were busy until almost 1 p.m. before they finally saw off the last customer of the morning and had a chance to catch their breath and rest.
