Chapter 287 Linzhi
Lin Zhi looked at Zhang Jing, staring at Zhang Jing fiddling with the abacus.
"During this period, you brought in 27 customers, 27 televisions, 2 washing machines, and 10 tape recorders. You closed 39 deals, totaling 195 yuan."
After Zhang Jing finished the calculation, she took out a stack of money and started counting it. After counting, she handed it to Lin Zhi.
"Thank you, Comrade Zhang. This time I'll ask my brothers to try in the next city. If we're lucky, we can introduce a lot of people here."
Linzhi smiled particularly happily.
She earns much more than Hu Huochaihe from this business. She only needs two dollars for each business deal, and the remaining three dollars goes to whoever introduced the business. Her family members have increased their income a lot and are all grateful to her for coming up with such an idea to make money.
This business is neither harmful nor illegal, it just helps solve the troubles of buying home appliances.
Linzhi wanted to import home appliances from here and sell them, but she had no capital and Zhang Jing was unwilling to buy on credit, so she could only bring a paper shell of a TV and sit on the side of the black market to sell them. Now she asked her relatives to dress decently and go door-to-door to sell the goods. If they couldn't buy the goods or make a reservation, she would refund their travel expenses.
There are still very few people who believe it, but there are some who do, otherwise why would more than 20 people come here in the past ten days.
If we could purchase goods and sell them there, there would definitely be more people doing business than just this few. At the very least, it would be like when this place first opened, where there were not enough home appliances to sell.
Those who can come here to place orders do so because the TV tickets on the black market are too expensive. The fare to the regional city is only two or three dollars. If you can't buy one, you can just come here for a trip.
After buying the TV, these people will continue to sell it to Linzhi, because she will cook for free to entertain the customers who come to her store and ask her to bring them. Although it is a common occurrence, how can customers not be grateful when they come here to be picked up and entertained? They will buy some gifts for her when they leave, and those gifts are no less than the cost of her cooking for the two days.
The money she earned was not from kickbacks from customers; the prices were set by Zhao Yi's family.
Take Director Wu for example. He stayed at Linzhi's home for three days and ate several meals there. When he left, he stuffed five dollars into Linzhi's pocket and bought her several cans of food and a bag of malted milk to thank her for her warm hospitality.
Whenever her family recommends a customer, they will call in advance and make it clear whether they want to pick up the person at the train station or the bus station. Linzhi will then wait at the exit holding a sign with the other person's name on it.
After Lin Zhi paid the bill at Zhang Jing's place, she happily went home. In those fifteen days, she had earned 78 yuan, and with the thanks from the customers when they left, she had earned more than 100 yuan.
It's much better than having my own man working in a factory.
Linzhi bought a pack of good cigarettes, a bottle of good wine, and brought a can of canned food left at home to the public telephone booth at the entrance of the alley, which is the place to make and receive calls.
"Comrade Zhu, this is a thank you. You must accept it. I have to trouble you to answer the phone for me all day long."
Linzhi handed over the gift with a smile. Although she had to pay for making and receiving phone calls, she was still grateful that the person would send someone to her house to answer the phone whenever they needed her.
"We are all neighbors. How can this be embarrassing?"
The two exchanged a few polite words, and the other party finally accepted the gift. The other party could probably guess what Linzhi was doing. Someone would come over every now and then. Which family had so many relatives coming over, and the people who came were different every time, and in the end they would buy something for her.
He didn't know how Linzhi made money, but he saw that Linzhi's family was getting better and better recently. The matchboxes were no longer burnt, and they could even have meat from time to time.
When Linzhi returned home, her family had already prepared dinner.
"Did the mother get paid?"
The man from Linzhi saw Linzhi coming back in a hurry, took a can and went out again. The smile on his face never stopped and he asked curiously.
"One hundred and ninety-five, I only have seventy-eight dollars, the rest has to wait for his uncles to come and get it, they should be here by the end of the month. Oh, by the way, head of the household, wash the sheets and quilts regularly, tidy up the room, and then go to the second-hand market to buy a bed.
Only when others are happy staying here, have fun and are in a good mood will they help sell your products. ”
Lin Zhi looked at her family and said.
They have no background in the city. If it weren't for the incident with Zhang Jing, Linzhi would have come up with this idea. Now the family can only make a living by making matchboxes. It is true that the husband has a job, but she does not, and the children in the family are adults and do not have proper jobs.
Now that I’m helping with reception work, of course I want to do better and better. No matter how long I can do it, reputation is very important.
"knew."
The family was having a meeting when a kid ran into the yard.
"Comrade Lin has your phone number."
When Lin Zhi heard this, she smiled and stood up and rushed towards the phone booth.
I thought it was my brother calling, but when I answered the phone it turned out to be a female voice.
"Comrade Lin, it's me, Wu Xiulian. A relative of mine saw the home appliances and wanted to buy some, so I immediately thought of you and asked her to talk to you."
"Okay, okay, Comrade Wu."
Lin Zhi smiled and nodded in response to the person on the other end of the phone.
After answering the phone, Lin Zhi's smile became even wider. She gave the phone booth two cents and walked back home happily.
"Did my uncle introduce someone again?"
"It's not your uncle, it's Director Wu from Shanyang County. His brother-in-law and sister-in-law are coming to buy a TV. I asked you to go to the bus station to pick them up. This is their name. Go to the station early tomorrow to pick them up. Be polite and explain clearly what you are asking. Don't accept anything they give you right away. Do what you can do, and turn down what you can't do."
Lin Zhi looked at her son and said.
"I know mom, it's not the first time I'm going to pick you up."
The shops were also starting to close at this time. Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi who was sitting on the chair and didn't want to move, so she immediately started to twist Zhao Yi's ear.
"I can't call you anymore."
"No way."
Zhao Yi quickly stood up to help clean up and close the door.
When the two returned home, the grocery store was still open, and Zhang Jing went to the living room to calculate the store's revenue for the day.
"By the way, Tang Wenjie is inviting us to a banquet in Rongcheng. You have to arrange your time at the end of this month."
Zhao Yi reminded.
"I don't have anything to do at the end of this month, so we can go together then."
Zhang Jing responded without even raising her head.
After Zhang Jing finished settling the bill, she started cooking. After everyone had eaten at home, Luo Hui slowly walked back.
"Have you eaten yet? If not, just heat up the food."
Zhang Jing asked immediately when she saw Luo Hui.
"I've eaten at the store, and I'll eat there from now on."
Luo Hui responded.
Her food rations were all at the store, so she would have to eat with Wang Chunyan and the others from now on. Luo Hui found that the job of a salesperson was quite interesting and she didn't have to do any heavy work.
