Chapter 401 Opening: The First Customer
"Third Auntie, I can take care of the decoration."
Zhao Xiaoying: "If you want to go to the store, I can come with you."
Lin Su'e nodded: "Okay."
"You will be responsible for the decoration, and I will recruit employees and organize training."
Zhao Xiaoying: "How many employees do you plan to recruit, Auntie?"
Lin Su'e: "Let's recruit three first."
"I saw a job posting at the Spicy Girl Hotpot Restaurant. I can write it."
Zhao Xiaoying: "Mrs. San, how much salary do you plan to give?"
Lin Su'e had thought about this issue a long time ago and said, "30 yuan a month, and a 10% commission for each match completed."
Zhao Xiaoying: "Okay, I understand."
Lin Su'e suddenly thought of something: "Oh, right, we only recruit women."
Zhao Xiaoying: “Is there an age requirement?”
Lin Su'e pondered for a while and said, "Over 30 years old."
Being too young makes people less trustworthy.
Matchmakers, like traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, are professions that become more popular as people get older.
"Okay, I've got it all down."
Zhao Xiaoying: "Third Auntie, are you going to check out the store tomorrow?"
Lin Su'e: "Okay."
Zhao Xiaoying: "Then I'll come to see you in the morning."
"Over at the hot pot restaurant..."
Lin Su'e: "I've already told Chunlan that you don't have to go. Just take some time to complete the resignation procedures and get your salary settled."
Zhao Xiaoying nodded: "Okay."
"Then Sanpo, I'm leaving first."
"Go ahead."
She stood up and left. After taking two steps, she suddenly realized something and turned around and asked, "Third Aunt, what is the name of our matchmaking agency? I can write it on the recruitment notice."
"Name of the store?"
Lin Su'e muttered, and then an idea flashed in her mind: "The matchmaking agency, the matchmaking agency, why not just call it Yixianqian? What do you think?"
Zhao Xiaoying was stunned: "A thread connects us, a thread connects us, a thousand miles apart?"
She is not well educated.
But this is a proverb that is passed down by word of mouth.
Lin Su'e: "Yes."
Zhao Xiaoying praised with a wooden face: "What a good name, Sanpo is really amazing."
Lin Su'e didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Xiaoying, you kid...Okay, you go back first."
Zhao Xiaoying nodded.
the next day.
Lin Su'e went to Pu County with her.
First head to the West District, a real estate agency.
As Pu County's business developed, real estate agencies came into being.
Most of them are locals who are familiar with the terrain and have connections.
Lin Su'e only bought a house in Pu County as a temporary place to stay.
She has never been there.
Maybe I can use it when the matchmaking agency opens.
I found an agent who suited my taste. He was a middle-aged man named Dong Zhiping.
Very competent.
When he heard that they were going to open a matchmaking agency, he didn't show any strange expression. Instead, he introduced them to shops with high traffic.
There are three places in total.
One is at a three-way intersection, with a good location, but the shop is rather shabby and needs renovation.
One is on the street, the location is good, but the shop is a bit small.
One is in the middle of the street, with a good location. The shop is average looking, with two floors and a small courtyard.
The prices at the three locations are also different.
The cheapest room is at the intersection, with rent of only 30 yuan a month; the rent at the street corner and in the middle of the street is the same, 40 yuan a month.
Dong Zhiping said politely: "These are the three places. Which one do you like?"
Lin Su'e: "Xiaoying, what do you think?"
"Three-way intersection."
Lin Su'e indeed liked that place the most. Although it was dilapidated, it was very spacious and the original structure of the house was also good. It could be opened for business as long as it was renovated.
Originally, they were going to renovate.
Lin Su'e was a little curious: "Tell me why?"
Zhao Xiaoying: "This store is the largest and has the best location. It has the most pedestrians every day. Although it is a little broken, it is very solid."
"Our matchmaking agency is located right here, so anyone passing by can see it at a glance."
Lin Su'e nodded: "Not bad."
Aside.
Dong Zhiping was quite excited: this deal didn't take much effort, and if it was successful, both parties would give him a commission of 10% of one month's rent, and he could earn 8 yuan.
Then.
Then I heard Lin Su'e's voice: "Agent Dong, can you help me ask the landlord if he wants to sell this house?"
Dong Zhiping was surprised: "Sister Lin, you want to buy it?"
Lin Su'e: "Yes."
Dong Zhiping suppressed his inner thoughts and said, "Although this house is run-down, it has a good location. If it is sold, the market price is about 2,000 yuan. Sister Lin, have you made up your mind?"
Lin Su'e's expression was calm: "Yeah."
Dong Zhiping couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I'll notify the landlord right away."
He gets 1% commission on both sides of the house sale, that's 40 yuan, I sent it out hahaha~
The landlord arrived quickly.
After waiting for about half an hour, a middle-aged couple hurried over.
Zhou Xiaoqing: "Are you going to buy a house?"
The agent just told them the names of the landlords: Zou Ping and Zhou Xiaoqing.
Lin Su'e: "Yes."
Zhou Xiaoqing: "Let's not waste time. Let's offer 2,000 yuan. Do you think it's okay?"
It’s the market price.
But how can you buy a house without bargaining?
She laughed and said, "A little less, 1888, good luck all the way, auspicious, Sister Zhou, do you think it's okay?"
Zhou Xiaoqing frowned: "It's too much of a drop."
Zhuoping was more taciturn and also frowned.
Lin Su'e looked at Dong Zhiping.
Isn't the role of an agent to help bargain? Otherwise, why hire him?
Dong Zhiping immediately started to say good things.
After much persuasion, both parties finally made concessions and the deal was settled at 1,950 yuan.
Immediate transfer and payment.
House.
Lin Su'e took out the new property deed and handed it to Dong Zhiping, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
Dong Zhiping was somewhat surprised: "It's my duty, thank you Sister Lin."
"Come back to me if you need anything later."
Lin Su'e nodded: "Sure."
After separating from him, Lin Su'e looked at Zhao Xiaoying 3: "It's getting late, let's go eat first."
"After dinner, go find the construction team."
She often buys properties, so she knows several decoration teams.
Zhao Xiaoying: "Okay."
The construction team was finalized on the same day.
The next day, the store began to be renovated.
At the same time, recruitment notices were also posted.
Many people came to ask, and finally three were decided, namely: Wang Xi, Liu Shufen and Zhang Erni.
These three people all have good looks that are easy to like, and their average age is around 35 years old.
They have no education.
The monthly salary was 30 yuan, and they could get a commission of 10% for each successful deal. It was a rare good job in 1986. Although they didn't know what a matchmaking agency was, it was the best treatment for them.
Sign the contract on the spot.
Dating agencies are not allowed to open yet.
First, it needs decoration; second, these three employees need training. The matchmaking agency says they are matchmakers, but in fact the right to match people lies with Lin Su'e, and they must have a fixed matchmaking process.
Two-pronged approach.
Zhao Xiaoying is in charge of decoration; Lin Su'e is in charge of training.
Wang Xi and the other two valued this working opportunity very much, so they worked very seriously.
…
Flash.
A month passed.
October 26th, very auspicious, easy to open business.
At 9:56, auspicious time, "Yixian Matchmaking Agency" officially opened.
Amid the sound of firecrackers.
A festive lion dance team performed gracefully.
The area was filled with people watching the fun, most of them were there to watch the lion dance.
There are few entertainment activities nowadays, and juggling is very eye-catching.
Lin Su'e also spent a lot of money.
After all, there is no shortage of business in the lion dance industry these days.
A small number of them came here specifically.
"Is this the 'Yixianqian Marriage Agency'? Can it really help people find a match?"
"It looks pretty good."
"I don't know if it's as good as advertised. I have information about a lot of outstanding girls and boys."
"I have been asking someone to be my matchmaker for several years, but that matchmaker has no connections and always introduces ugly girls to my daughter. I despise them, let alone my daughter."
"Who said it wasn't true? I'm so angry just thinking about the people my matchmaker introduced to my son. Is my son so bad?"
"That's right. I'm beginning to doubt my life. Is this the only thing my child can be matched with?"
"I must go in and take a look later."
"I have no choice. If this matchmaking agency looks good, I will definitely get two for my daughter."
"Me too."
"If this matchmaking agency is really capable, I will definitely recommend it to my relatives and friends."
"It's the same for me. Now that my children are grown up, marriage is a real headache."
“…”
After living her life again, Lin Su'e understood the truth that even good wine needs to be hidden in a remote alley.
then.
A lot of money was spent on publicity.
The method is: hire people to distribute flyers half a month in advance to promote the "First-line Matchmaking Agency".
In front of the store.
Lin Su'e listened to the words in her ear and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: Isn't the effect here?
Why are there so many matchmaking agencies in later generations?
Because they have captured the hearts of the middle-aged and elderly market, parents and elders most want their children to find a good home, and the many unmarried men and women resources in matchmaking agencies hit their hearts.
Thinking this in her heart, she gave Zhao Xiaoying a look: "Xiaoying."
Zhao Xiaoying accepted it, nodded, took a deep breath, raised her voice and said to everyone:
"Dear valued customers and friends, today is the first day of the opening of our Yixianqian matchmaking agency. We have a large number of single handsome men and beautiful women, as well as experienced matchmaking experts with strong capabilities. If your family members, brothers and sisters are in need, you may as well give Yixianqian a try."
"One week before the opening, we will provide free consultations and introduce blind dates. Come and have a look. Don't miss it if you pass by."
“…”
After these words were spoken, the crowd was silent for a moment, and then they began to discuss.
“Is this true or false?”
"So confident?"
"Dating agency, a thousand miles of marriage, so this is what it means."
"Never mind. I'm not interested."
"I just came to watch the lion dance. Let's go..."
“…”
Many people are also moved.
But, I was also afraid.
"Shall we go in?"
"Lao Wang, didn't you say you would go in and take a look later? You go in first and we will follow you."
"Why should I go first and you go first?"
“…”
This is an involuntary fear of the unknown towards new things.
Zhu Sanmei was alone. She did not come to the "First-line Matchmaking Agency" specifically, but accidentally ran into them while she was thinking about something. When she realized what was going on and tried to leave, she was squeezed in the innermost part and could not get out, so she was forced to listen to the whole thing.
now.
But she didn't want to leave.
What worries her is her eldest son's marriage. She is 50 years old this year and her eldest son is 32 years old and still single. She has never been in a relationship until now. She is not averse to blind dates, but every time they meet, nothing happens. When asked, it is clear that they are not compatible.
That's all.
He doesn't want to get married.
However, he does not get married, so his three younger brothers and sisters follow his example. The youngest one is 25 years old and still single.
Even worse, they don’t even go on blind dates.
What are you doing? !
Is she easy?
Others have already become mothers-in-law, grandmothers, and grandmothers, but she has not even had a sip of tea from her daughter-in-law.
This Jian Shou has become a thorn in her side. She must let the eldest son get married and sell out the remaining three to go on blind dates.
She tried her best and said, "Let's give it a try. Maybe~"
Then.
Walk towards the store.
"Hello, what's your name? I'm the director of the matchmaking agency, Zhao Xiaoying."
Zhu Sanmei got straight to the point: "My name is Zhu Sanmei, Director Zhao, I want to find a partner for my son."
Zhao Xiaoying smiled and nodded, pointing at Lin Su'e: "This is our senior matchmaker, how about you go in and talk?"
Zhu Sanmei glanced at her.
Lin Su'e smiled at her gently and confidently.
See here.
Zhu Sanmei felt much more at ease.
Zhao Xiaoying is young, and when he spoke to her just now, she was worried that the man was a matchmaker. Fortunately, her worry was in vain.
Now this matchmaker looks quite presentable and it seems like she is quite good at matchmaking.
opposite.
Lin Su'e made up her mind to use all her abilities.
This is the first customer, we have to get off to a good start, and we absolutely cannot allow failure.
With this thought in mind.
Lin Su'e was very enthusiastic and the two of them had a lively chat.
Soon, she got all the information about Boss Zhu Sanmei.
Looking at the form in her hand, Lin Su'e smiled and said, "Sister Zhu, go back first and come back tomorrow. I will definitely introduce you to a suitable partner for your eldest son."
Zhu Sanmei nodded.
In fact, after talking to Lin Su'e, she had calmed down.
My eldest son is so difficult to deal with. It’s not the matchmaker’s fault. It’s his own problem.
She felt a faint regret in her heart.
However, things had come to this point, and facing Lin Su'e's enthusiastic smile, she couldn't refuse, so she forced a smile and said, "Okay."
"I'll come back tomorrow."
"I'll leave now."
Lin Su'e gave her a red string bracelet: "It's a marriage string, Sister Zhu, take it and wish for happiness."
Zhu Sanmei was stunned for a moment, then slowly accepted: "Thank you."
Lin Su'e waved: "See you tomorrow."
Zhu Sanmei nodded.
She thought to herself: They are so polite and even gave her gifts. No matter if it works or not, she has to come this time.
The marriage rope was suggested by Lin Su'e.
Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts.
People nowadays are still very simple and honest. If you accept something from her, you will definitely not break your promise.
