"According to your calculations, our two families don't have to do anything but count money every day!"
Comrade Lao Du looked down on Lao Ding while eating. Comrade Lao Du was exhausted that day, but he still had to drive back to the living area soon, so having a drink would be perfect!
"Tsk, I know that too, I'm just fantasizing!"
Old Ding was completely stubborn. After knowing each other for so long, Du Chen realized that the first time he called the police after a fight, Old Ding was more genuine: dignified and serious. Now, he couldn't be called a clown, but he was a bit out of character for his role as a police station chief.
"I think business won't be too bad this week. Firstly, it's summer vacation, and some parents are coming to buy clothes for their children. Secondly, we're also having events. I guess business won't be like this after school starts!"
Jia Xiaomin also put forward his own opinions.
"Then let's find a way to organize an event! We have to have an event at least once a month. Discounts! Rebates! Free eggs! Free rice, flour, and oil! It seems like we have to make this a big deal!"
Du Chen's mother spoke very domineeringly. She was under a lot of pressure now, with loans and employee salaries, so she was also thinking of ways to make money.
"Mom, our store is quite upscale, and giving away rice, flour, oil, and eggs seems a bit cheap! Besides, eggs, rice, flour, and oil are only favored by the elderly, and our main customers are young and middle-aged people. Do you think we should change our thinking?"
"That makes sense. So what do you want to give me?"
Du Chen's mother thought what Du Chen said made a lot of sense, and Comrade Du and the others nodded, thinking that what Du Chen said was right.
"Mom, you can give men gifts like sunglasses, watches, bracelets, waist chains, etc. Women can also give them sunglasses, hairpins, hair flowers, sweater chains, etc. These will make them look high-end and will also be popular with young people."
"And we can give out vouchers instead of rebates! That will keep people here!"
"The glasses and watches you mentioned are a bit expensive, aren't they?"
Lao Ding raised an objection. He knew that the purchase price of the pair of glasses frames that cost forty yuan today was twenty yuan!
"Uncle Ding, we can buy them wholesale from Guangzhou for a bargain! Those cheap glasses and sunglasses only cost three or five yuan! They're just for looks, and the quality is worlds apart from frames made for glasses! As for watches, we'll buy digital ones as gifts for students, and they only cost two or three yuan. Oh, and wallets, too, both for men and women, and they're all very cheap!"
"If shipping from Guangzhou is too troublesome, we have a small commodity market here. The price is probably only two or three yuan more expensive than in Guangzhou! But I suggest shipping from Guangzhou. The quality there is better, and some of the newer products are trendy and popular!"
Du Chen explained his plan in detail.
"That's right. People in Guangzhou are so fashionable. Even the girls wear miniskirts!"
Old Ding didn't drink any alcohol today, but his mouth was faster than his brain. He blurted out without thinking, and then he saw Jia Xiaomin's murderous eyes.
When Comrade Lao Du saw his wife looking at him with the same murderous intent, he quickly lowered his head to drink water, pretending he heard nothing.
"Mom and Dad, I have another suggestion. Do you want to listen to it?"
Not daring to pay attention to the educated Comrade Lao Ding, Du Chen wisely changed the subject.
"What is it? Tell me about it."
Comrade Lao Du quickly responded because he couldn't stand his wife's gaze, although he also missed the miniskirts on the streets of Guangzhou.
"Mom and Dad, we've fully utilized the space in the clothing store. The first and second floors are packed. Now most of the goods are stored in the basement of the community, right?"
“Yeah, that’s right!”
After hearing this, Du Chen's mother had no time to care about Comrade Lao Du. Opening the business today was indeed a big problem.
In order to make the clothing store appear upscale and spacious, Du Chen did not use much storage space when renovating the store, so the store only had a small amount of stock, and most of the goods were kept in the basement of the community. Business was good today, and Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding had to move the goods several times, which did cause some delays.
"Mom, isn't the second floor of the glasses store still empty? Our three stores are connected, and the clothing store is already connected. If we open a small door between the clothing store and the glasses store, the second floor of the glasses store will be fully utilized!"
"What a great idea! The second floor of the optical shop is full of frames and lenses. They don't take up much space, so we can use the second floor as a warehouse! I'll find a technician to chisel the wall tomorrow!"
Ren Surong was overjoyed when she heard Du Chen's idea. Now there is a bed on the second floor of the glasses store so that she can take a rest occasionally. There are also some frames and lenses, so most of the second floor of the glasses store is empty. According to the opinion of her second son, the second floor of the glasses store is also utilized, which saves trouble for the clothing store!
"Wife, wife, wait, I forgot something!"
On the other side, Lao Ding kept begging for mercy. His wife was really ruthless! Her arms and legs must have been pinched purple.
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
Jia Xiaomin asked Lao Ding with a murderous look on his face. If Lao Ding did anything wrong, he would be in trouble!
"Old Du, agent Xiao Liu and manager Liu Bo are here today too! They each brought a hundred yuan gift! Seeing you guys were busy, they chatted with me for a few minutes and then left. I just remembered I haven't given you the money yet!"
As he said that, Lao Ding took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and put it on the dining table.
"Old Ding, really? You're not trying to avoid what happened just now, are you?"
Comrade Lao Du gave a wicked smile and dug a hole for Lao Ding.
When Old Ding turned around and saw Jia Xiaomin's suspicious look, his heart skipped a beat and he began to complain.
"Lao Du, you are such a piece of shit!"
