Chapter 279: Teaching My Wife to Settle Accounts
Faced with a mountain of money, many beauties didn't know where to start.
She only had the level of a third-grade primary school student, and Gao Shufang had a slightly higher level of education, but only at the level of a primary school graduate. Both of them knew some simple arithmetic, but the amount involved was no more than one hundred yuan.
"How do I count this?" Xuanyue swallowed her saliva, feeling dry lips and mouth, and panic. Under Gao Mingcheng's guidance, she learned a lot of common characters, and she had no problem reading books, but her math was still not very good.
When the amount of money handled increased, Gao Mingcheng would be needed to help with the accounting, and Gao Mingcheng was also responsible for writing the account books.
"Come, I'll teach you a simple method." Gao Mingcheng said, and began to sort out the different amounts of money.
For example, fifty-yuan notes are stacked together, twenty-yuan notes are stacked together, and the same goes for ten-yuan, five-yuan, and one-yuan notes.
With this classification, it won’t be so messy.
Gao Mingcheng counted the stack of fifty yuan first. After counting, he wrote down the corresponding number in a notebook. Then he counted the other money and got the corresponding numbers for each. Finally, he added all the numbers together.
These are today's sales. The net profit is the sales minus purchases, store expenses, personnel expenses, taxes, etc.
As for the account books, they are divided into two, one is to record the styles and prices of clothing sold every day, and the other is to record the styles and prices of purchases.
In order to facilitate memorization, Gao Mingcheng classified the clothes according to style and price, using simple codes, so that it is easy to see at a glance when keeping and checking accounts.
However, due to their academic qualifications, Xuanyuemei and Gao Shufang found it extremely difficult to learn these things. Fortunately, Gao Mingcheng patiently taught them over and over again, but in the end, the two still seemed to understand only vaguely.
"Forget it, it's already very late today. Let's go to bed first. We have to open for business tomorrow!" Gao Mingcheng felt tired and exhausted, which was rare for him.
When he was in the village, he could climb several mountains in one breath without feeling tired, but now he feels exhausted after teaching arithmetic and bookkeeping several times!
Many beauties feel guilty, thinking that they are too stupid to learn.
She had some experience in selling clothes, but she still felt guilty. Gao Shufang was even more guilty. She didn't dare to say a word. Instead, she was glad that this was the store opened by her second brother and sister-in-law, and she was just a helper.
If she opened the shop, she wouldn't be able to run it at all!
The next morning, the three of them got up and the first thing they did when they opened the store was to clean up! The floor in the store needs to be mopped every day. It is winter now, so it is not easy to mop the floor. So it is best to mop the floor at night when there are no customers. But last night, there were too many things to do and everyone was too tired, so they did not mop the floor in time.
So early in the morning, Gao Mingcheng mopped the floor first.
In addition to mopping the floor, you also have to rearrange the clothes that have been messed up by customers, and sell-out styles need to be replenished in a timely manner. If the store has been open for a long time, you also need to use a feather duster to sweep the dust off the clothes hanging on it.
In short, there are a lot of things to do.
At about 8:30, customers started to come into the store. After a day of information fermentation, the Xinxin Clothing Store must have become famous in the county.
On this day, many people came to see the products, but most of them came to look and few bought.
If a clothing store is positioned to sell mid- to high-end clothing, it is destined that there will not be too many customers. However, the profit will definitely not be less than that of selling low-end clothing.
After a period of customer purification, there will be fewer and fewer people coming to watch the fun, and nine out of ten customers who enter the store will buy clothes in the store.
When wealthy people want to buy clothes, their first choice is Xinxin Clothing Store. Ordinary people will also come here specifically to buy high-end clothes if they want to buy them.
This is the brand effect.
The clothing store offered a 20% discount in the first three days after its opening. During these three days, some people Gao Mingcheng knew came to take care of the business. Xiao Jinfeng's wife brought her mother-in-law over and picked out a new set of clothes for the whole family. Their order alone was more than 600 yuan.
Some other business people also came to choose suits.
Western suits are becoming popular nowadays. These suits were all purchased by Gao Mingcheng from Guangzhou. The styles and textures are very good. When men put them on, they look slimmer and more handsome.
In common parlance, it means being spirited!
However, these bosses pursue fashion but do not understand manners. After buying a suit, they will not button it properly, and there will be a bunch of keys hanging on the belt. When they walk, the keys make a rustling sound, and coupled with their hometown dialect, they are instantly transformed from handsome guys in suits back to their original appearance.
On the fourth day of opening, because there are no discounts and those who want to watch the fun have probably already seen it, the flow of customers in the store will be much smaller.
Gao Mingcheng did not stay in the store that day, but prepared to go back to the village.
Based on the sales performance in the coming days, he would discuss with Gao Shouwang about the next purchase styles, and give Gao Shouwang a portion of the payment.
After completing the procedures for township enterprises, Gao Shouwang applied for a bank loan in the name of a garment workshop. And because of his son's relationship, the price of goods from the knitting factory would be much lower.
But there is a disadvantage of a garment workshop, that is, there is a lot of inventory and it takes a long time to get back the investment. Therefore, Gao Shouwang is short of money.
Gao Mingcheng owns his own store, so he does not need to pay extra rent. He only needs to pay for water and electricity. He also paid the full amount in advance for the goods he bought in Yangcheng, so he now has some cash in hand.
"I'm going back to the village. You two should watch the store carefully. If you encounter anyone causing trouble, go to the police station and call for help." Gao Mingcheng reminded them worriedly.
During these three days, the turnover of Xinxin Clothing Store was quite good. Anyone with an eye could guess something, so Gao Mingcheng was afraid that someone would be jealous and want to commit a crime.
Xu Xuanmei chuckled and said, "This place is not far from the police station. Besides, anyone who is well-informed knows that this store is opened by Director Gao's nephew. Don't worry, no one will be blind."
From building the house, acquiring the land and the construction team, Gao Guobing helped arrange everything. From beginning to end, Gao Mingcheng only paid attention to the decoration of the clothing store.
Gao Mingcheng smiled when he heard this, but he was indeed relieved. He just gave one last reminder: "No matter what time, people are more important than money, understand?"
"Yeah." Manyu Mei understood what he meant and nodded in agreement with a smile.
Gao Mingcheng drove to the backyard and opened the back door. His tractor was parked next to the back door. He skillfully drove the car out of the alley and then drove towards Gaojia Village. Along the way, he met several familiar-looking people, all of whom were from villages near Gaojia Village.
"Get in the car, I'll give you a ride!" The truck bed was empty, so Gao Mingcheng generously asked everyone to get in the car.
They were carrying loads on their shoulders and had come to the county market early to sell their goods.
Gao Mingcheng saw that their poles were empty, so he asked a few questions about their sales. Those people smiled and said, "It's been dry this year, and there's a shortage of food and vegetables everywhere. Vegetables are selling well now, and the price is higher than in previous years."
Those people just finished talking with a smile, and then sighed: "Alas, the money we earn can't be kept, we have to use it to buy grain to eat."
Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng said, "Relax, next year will definitely be a good year!"
"I hope so!"
Having someone to talk to on the way makes time seem less unbearable.
