Chapter 153 Chapter 153 My Dad is Gone
With the two online stores given by her two children, plus the online store that Zhao Ruyue has already applied for, she now has three online stores.
Two are online stores that can immediately modify their business scope and put products on the shelves.
Although Zhao Ruyue only knows nine out of ten things about online stores now - she knows nothing at all, but in order to prevent the stores from being empty, Zhao Ruyue, with the help of her three children, first put some items with a longer shelf life on the two online stores with Crown.
For example, the products made by Ning Shaoming include cookies, nougat, snowflake cakes, egg yolk cakes, peach cakes, pineapple cakes and so on.
For other items, we are still only selling them on a trial basis in QQ groups, mainly to customers in the vicinity of the county, the city and the provincial capital.
Most of the product details pages and product pictures that have been put on the shelves were made with the help of the three children, which made Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming very embarrassed.
As adults, they have been exposed to the Internet for about the same amount of time as the children, but their skills in this regard are actually not as good as those of the three children.
Although some of this was due to their busy work, there were indeed some errors in judgement. Both of them felt that they would not open an online store in the future, but there are always unexpected things in life.
They did not deliberately develop in this direction, but reality led them in this direction step by step.
Not to mention when I first came into contact with computers, or when I first bought the land, or even when I started building the warehouse, no one in the family ever thought that we would use the warehouse ourselves.
Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming had to train themselves in various online store skills in addition to their work. They would not have to do it themselves in the future, but it is not easy to find talents in this area in a small county now.
It is faster to let them learn on their own first than to look for ready-made talents, and then recruit new employees who are willing to learn and provide relevant skills training.
Of course, when the online store is just starting out, there is no need to divide the functions too finely and recruit employees. These tasks must be done by themselves first, and the packaging will be temporarily handled by the bakery employees.
The bakery employees had this job added, and Ning Shaoming gave them a raise. Young people nowadays are particularly hardworking and are willing to do more work as long as their wages increase.
Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming, a couple, learned new skills together, supervised and encouraged each other, and learned quite quickly. With a ready-made partner, the learning process was not boring.
It’s just that the rest time will inevitably be reduced, and neither of them wants to reduce the time they spend resting and spending time with their children.
There is not much time that can be saved at work.
At this time, Ning Shaoming was particularly grateful that when he recruited apprentices, he never hid his skills from them, and most of the people who learned from him were able to learn real skills.
Now these apprentices come in handy.
The online store did not specifically promote itself, but there were some orders, although not a large number. They were all found and ordered by netizens who like to browse online shopping websites.
Ning Shaoming gave this part of the orders to apprentices who were good at doing these things. He also assigned some products in the store to them according to their expertise, so that they could earn more income in addition to their apprenticeship wages.
In this way, Ning Shaoming will have less things to do.
Zhao Ruyue transferred one of her night school classmates to the old store and made that classmate the manager of the old store, while another classmate became the manager of the new store.
She just needs to take time to check on the store occasionally and make sure there are no problems.
Now a series of regulations in the store are set by her, and the ordering channels are also in her hands. She has not left the county, so it is difficult for problems to arise in the store.
The only things she had to fix in the store were some particularly difficult electronic equipment that neither of her two classmates could fix.
This is actually not a problem. For things that are difficult to repair, the owner knows that it will take a lot of time. The range of available repair days is relatively large, so she can take her time to repair it.
After arranging all these, Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shao had more time to focus on their online business.
During the learning stage, the photos they took and edited were not very good, but they put these photos in the QQ group and showed them to old customers from other places who had visited their store in person.
Old customers have actually eaten their food and like it, so even if the pictures are not very good-looking or are edited very simply, it will not affect the enthusiasm of old customers to repurchase.
The warehouse was originally built according to the requirements for storing medicinal materials, and the requirements for storing medicinal materials are higher than those for storing food.
The warehouse is not used now, but it won’t be too much trouble to modify it according to the needs before using it in the future.
On the day when the warehouse was about to be completed, Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming went to the company that had already agreed with them to rent their warehouse as agreed, and talked to the person in charge about the follow-up matters of renting the warehouse.
Zhao Ruyue knew very well that although the other party had given a deposit at the beginning, it was only a verbal agreement to rent the house.
Since the warehouse had not been fully built at that time, the other party said that they would sign a supplementary contract after the warehouse was completed, and Zhao Ruyue agreed.
Now the person in charge is making the argument that no formal contract has been signed.
If someone who doesn't know the situation were to listen to the person in charge's words, they might think that he is trying to gain some benefit. It would be hard to imagine that someone is interfering and that the person in charge is aiding and abetting the evil. It is possible that many people would give the person in charge a lot of gifts.
Since Zhao Ruyue knew about it and didn't intend to follow the play arranged by the other party, she certainly wouldn't indulge them: "It seems that your company intends to break its promise and doesn't want to continue cooperating with our family."
The person in charge shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I didn't say that. I just reminded you that there is no paper contract. If you insist on thinking that way, I can't help it. If you want to continue the cooperation, then try to get a formal contract."
As for how to take it, he didn't say. His face had an expression that you should understand, which can only be understood but not expressed in words.
Zhao Ruyue sneered: "I understand, then we will say goodbye today."
The person in charge thought that they understood his attitude through this trip. He had been dragging his feet on the cooperation with the bakery before, and he should be more sensible after returning this time.
He didn't notice that Zhao Ruyue just said that she knew and then left.
She made absolutely no promises, not even verbal ones.
After returning, there was still no sign of loosening up. Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming shipped the goods online, but there was not much movement.
After all, it has become normal for Zhao Ruyue to cooperate with express delivery. Before opening the online store, her store also had customers who called her to buy things and needed her to mail them out.
Her shop also provides services such as express delivery and online shopping.
At first, she only cooperated with the post office. Later, as the express delivery industry developed, she cooperated with various express delivery companies, and couriers from each company would come every day.
The newly opened online bread shopping business is mixed in and is not noticeable at all.
Until Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming's drawing skills became better and better, the three online stores worked together, and the number of online orders increased. The revenue from online purchases was many times more than that from offline physical stores.
Because the shipment volume is too large, the store in the county town is overloaded, and it is necessary to use the warehouse in the suburbs of the provincial capital.
Those distant relatives who coveted their bakery suddenly realized that Zhao Ruyue and his wife had used other means to expand their bakery business.
Although there are no branches, let alone chain stores, the scale and shipment volume of Zhao Ruyue's bakery are no longer the small-scale shops in the county that they looked down upon in the beginning.
Now, even the county government’s official symposium for local outstanding entrepreneurs has invited the couple.
Locally, they have registered with the leaders of the relevant local departments. This may not be a big deal for outsiders, but outsiders who come here should not try to bully them.
As for the warehouse, as long as they do business well, those distant relatives will not be able to touch it.
If they had the ability to cover the sky with one hand in their natural life, they would not have been attracted by the prospects of her bakery. After being rejected for cooperation, they would not have had to go around in circles and put on airs to scare her sister before they dared to resort to trickery.
In the end, the person who made a verbal agreement with Zhao Ruyue's family but later acted arrogantly was also implicated.
As for promotion, he definitely has no chance in the near future, unless he makes great contributions to his company.
The company where the person in charge worked was just looking for a suitable warehouse outside to store a batch of medicinal materials that were about to arrive.
His company's warehouses were originally insufficient, and there were even fewer warehouses built to store medicinal materials. Even if there were some before, they had been divided up by most of the local companies that were similar to their company or even more powerful.
The company was in urgent need of a warehouse, but he ruined a good cooperation. Where can we find a warehouse that is specially built for storing medicinal materials and at such a reasonable price?
After meeting with his brother-in-law, the person in charge couldn't help but complain a few words when he mentioned that his brother-in-law had made things difficult for Zhao Ruyue and his wife. He implied that he had lost such a good promotion opportunity because he wanted to help his brother-in-law, and also left a bad impression on his superiors.
When he first started talking about it, his relatives and friends all supported him, but later on, as he talked too much and because of setbacks at work, he kept talking about it over and over again, which made many people feel annoyed. If the listeners were people related to the matter, they would inevitably feel uncomfortable, especially the person involved.
The two of them actually broke up because of this incident. During this time, the person in charge's sister acted as a peacemaker and tried to persuade them to give in. However, the more she tried to persuade them, the deeper the conflict became.
As things developed, the two sides almost stopped communicating with each other.
Zhao Ruyue's relatives therefore lost this support and had no capital to covet her family's business.
However, one must always be on guard against others, so Zhao Ruyue also strengthened security at the warehouse.
After the warehouse was put into use, Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming set up some positions according to demand and recruited several employees.
For some employees, the boss just needs to tell them a few simple words what they need to learn and what they need to do in the future, and they will learn and get started quickly.
Some of them really can't do it. I don't know what's wrong. They just can't do it no matter how we teach them. For them, they can only do the most basic packaging work.
Fortunately, they do not need so many smart and capable employees. Moving, unloading and packing, which are repetitive physical jobs that do not require much brainpower, require more people. They will not be unable to learn even if someone teaches them repeatedly.
At the warehouse, Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming were doing the same thing as when they were picking up and dropping off the children. Whoever was free would go to take a look at the warehouse.
It was Zhao Ruyue's turn to go to the warehouse that day. Halfway through the drive, someone called.
It was difficult for Zhao Ruyue to pick up her phone while driving, and Ning Shaoming was not with her.
She didn't answer the call for the time being, thinking that she would call back after she arrived at the warehouse.
Unexpectedly, the phone kept ringing after it was hung up.
Zhao Ruyue had no choice but to pull the car over and picked up her phone. It was Ning Shichun.
Ning Shichun usually wouldn't call her at this time if there was nothing going on. If he had something to do, he would go to Ning Shaoming, and Ning Shaoming would tell her in private.
And I have never called her so many times.
Zhao Ruyue thought, with so many calls at this time, there must be something urgent.
The phone rang again. Zhao Ruyue just picked up the phone this time. Before she could say anything, Ning Shichun's heavy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Aunt San, my father is gone. Can you and Uncle San come back today?"
