Xiao Jincheng thought for a moment, "It'll be around the end of November, I guess. A lot of the furniture is custom-made, so the factory is shipping it out rather slowly. The hard decoration is almost finished. Do you have time this afternoon? I'll take you to see it."
Jiang Xiaoli's eyes lit up. "Great! It's been so long since I've been there. I don't even know what my house looks like now."
Manager Han chuckled and said, "Shall we go then? It's perfect that we go together. I just need to take care of something at the sales office."
Xue Bin wanted to say goodbye and go back to the company first, but Xiao Jincheng pulled him along, saying, "You were the one who helped oversee the renovation of these three houses. You're a hero in that regard. Let's go take a look together."
When Jiang Xiaoli entered her own house, "Champs-Élysées Residence," she felt as if she had traveled back in time once again.
Having grown accustomed to the interior design styles of this era, she was momentarily disoriented upon entering such a modern home.
Xiao Jincheng looked around and smiled with satisfaction, "Little Pear, our own decoration company did a good job, didn't we? Did it bring out the effect of your design?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded repeatedly and gave Xiao Jincheng a thumbs up. "Uncle Xiao, it's a perfect 1:1 replica! Once the custom-made furniture arrives and the appliances are complete... it's truly perfect. I can't wait to move in!"
Manager Han patted his chubby belly and said, "It really looks great. I even had my eye on that big bathtub. I thought it was unnecessary when we were renovating the house before, but now it seems like we can't live without it, even if we don't use it!"
Xiao Jincheng raised an eyebrow smugly, "Of course! The bathtubs in these two houses were specially ordered from Guangdong Province by me, they're amazing!"
"Xiao Li, for our new project, forget about the small apartments, but you absolutely must include bathtubs in all the larger ones. I'll keep one for myself!" Manager Han decided immediately.
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and agreed, "Okay, no problem."
After viewing the house, Manager Han went to the sales office, leaving the three of them behind.
Xiao Jincheng patted Xue Bin on the shoulder, "Binzi, did you hear that? Old Han's order is basically settled. You and Xiaoli should try your best to perfect the design. This project will be handed over to you later. Can you do that?"
Xue Bin's face flushed with excitement, and he immediately declared, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao! I will definitely do my best!"
"Haha, just do your best. Once you finish this deal, you'll be able to buy a house and get married, right?" Xiao Jincheng joked with a smile.
Xue Bin smiled shyly, "I have to thank President Xiao for his promotion."
Jiang Xiaoli closed the door and came out. "Uncle Xiao, you really have to raise Brother Xue's salary and benefits, otherwise you'll suffer a huge loss if this talent leaves!"
Xiao Jincheng nodded, "Absolutely! Is your Uncle Xiao the kind of stingy person? Making money together is the best long-term solution!"
"Yes, yes! It's truly good when everyone is doing well!"
After looking at the house, it was getting late, so Jiang Xiaoli simply took a car to the No. 1 Baozi Shop.
Zong Jiayu was somewhat surprised to see her. "Little Pear, weren't you going to Uncle Xiao's company today?"
Jiang Xiaoli chewed a piece of bubble gum. "It's all done. I just went to 'Champs-Élysées Residence' to check on the renovation progress. The hard decoration of your house is almost finished."
"Oh?" Zong Jia has been too busy to go to the house lately. "Then, can we move around the same time?"
"Yes, most of the furniture in our house is custom-made. The factory produces it all together, and it will be completed around the end of November."
Pumpkin was very interested in the houses they were talking about. "Brother Zong, Little Pear, what kind of house do you think would be suitable for me if I wanted to buy one?"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Brother Gua, you weren't this enthusiastic about buying a house before. Is it because your wife is urging you?"
A hint of dark red appeared on Pumpkin's dark skin. "No, no, I just want to get ready as soon as possible so we can get married anytime she agrees."
"Hehe, sister-in-law is so lucky! When buying a house, location is the most important thing. Find a suitable development and try to buy a bigger one so you can live comfortably," she suggested.
Many houses nowadays are only 40 to 50 square meters in size. Each room is so big that it's completely full once you put a bed in it, making the living experience really not good.
Pumpkin thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll go check it out with Dafu later."
Zong Jia handed Jiang Xiaoli a bottle of yogurt, "Want to know how the opening went today?"
"It must be pretty good, right? I've seen long queues at several stores," she asked with a smile.
Pumpkin's smile widened. "Haha! Little Pear, three stores had already put up 'sold out' signs by 2 PM today."
"So powerful!?" That's way too fast!
Zong Jiayu smiled and nodded in affirmation, "It's that fast. The main reason is that these three stores are near factories or construction sites, so there are a lot of customers in the morning and at noon."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded. That makes more sense!
However, Zong Jiayu continued, "The other stores were basically sold out by around 4 p.m."
Jiang Xiaoli's already round eyes widened even more. "I thought it was impossible for us to sell so many stores so quickly."
Pumpkin smiled and nodded, "I think so too, but I just received a few calls from store managers. Our opening today was indeed a great success, and business at our older stores has improved a lot."
"What's going on?" she asked Zong Jiayu, puzzled.
Her puzzled expression was like that of a curious little animal, her eyes blinking rapidly, which melted Zong Jia's heart.
He smiled slightly and said, "I just interviewed a few customers. 'Guizhi Steamed Buns' is quite well-known now. Hearing about the event today, many people specifically brought friends to queue up together."
Jiang Xiaoli clicked her tongue in surprise. This kind of thing could only happen at times like this, right?
If this were ten or twenty years from now, customers would only complain that the promotion was uninteresting and the discounts were too small.
That's great.
Her eyes sparkled, "Getting rich is just around the corner!"
Zong Jia and He Nan Gua both laughed, "Getting rich is just around the corner!"
When Zhong Yuan returned from retrieving the account books from the various shops, he saw the three of them shouting slogans in the courtyard.
"What, you know about today's profits?"
Pumpkin quickly stepped forward and snatched the ledger from his hand.
Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jiayu also went over to take a look; each store's daily profit was 2300!
Zhong Yuan, drinking water, said, "Brother Zong, Little Pear, each of our shops is limited to 500 baskets a day. Should we change that? If things continue like this, we'll be closing at three or four in the afternoon every day."
Zong Jia shook his head, "Let's keep this amount. If we increase the amount, the aunties in the shop won't be able to keep up, and besides, the customers won't have any expectations."
Jiang Xiaoli agreed with his statement, saying that selling 500 cages a day really doesn't count as scarcity marketing.
If there is no limit to the supply, the workload for employees will be too heavy, and customers will feel that they can buy it anytime, which will greatly reduce their enthusiasm.
