In the evening, Yi Qingqing finally completed the publicity task, and walked in the afterglow of the setting sun, and returned to No. 8 Jinma Street with Yun Guyuan.
After entering the door, he went straight to the counter, picked up the teapot, poured a large cup of tea and took a few gulps.
"Haha, are you thirsty?" Li Mengxue was arranging clothes on the hanger and saw her and laughed.
Yi Qingqing pointed to her throat, waved her hand, and said in a very low voice: "I talked too much today, my throat is too tired!"
Section 260
She was the most miserable one, as she was responsible for the publicity work for all the faculty and staff of the school.
Li Mengxue and her friends distributed flyers in their department and then returned.
Qian Duoduo frequents the surrounding residential areas.
Li Mengxue reached into her pocket and actually took out a few mints from the supermarket and stuffed them into her pocket: "Eat some of this, it will make you feel better."
Yi Qingqing nodded, opened a piece, and broke it in the middle. The mint candy broke neatly into two flat squares along the concave lines in the middle. She ate one piece herself and stuffed the other into Yun Guyuan's mouth.
A Yuan accompanied her the whole time today. Although he didn't need to talk much, he also needed a reward after running around with her all day.
Both of them had candies in their mouths and smiled at each other.
Li Mengxue: “…”
She quickly hung up the clothes and went upstairs. Ying Hua was also there today, and she wanted to go give him some candy too!
After dinner, they discussed the various matters related to the opening of the store and did the final finishing work. Then Li Mengxue waved her hand and said, "Let's all take a good rest tomorrow and recharge our batteries! We will be in the best spirits to welcome the opening of the store the day after tomorrow!"
Yi Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. She just wanted to lie down in bed tomorrow and no one should disturb her!
After a good day's rest, January 16th, the opening day of the clothing store finally arrived.
Before daybreak, the lights on the second floor of Jinma Street were on.
This time, Yi Qingqing didn't need to wake them up. When she was in the morning class, the others woke up one after another and tossed and turned in bed, using a flashlight to check the time from time to time.
Everyone got up at a certain time, but Yi Qingqing, who was still attending morning class, was thought to be still sleeping and accepted the wake-up call from her friends.
A few people washed and dressed up just like the day before, and while it was still early, they ran to the sesame cake shop at the corner of the street and bought a few sesame cakes for breakfast, and then checked the situation in the store again.
At nine o'clock in the morning, they opened the store door, and the men inserted two long bamboo poles outside the store and hung two strings of bright red firecrackers.
The promotional activities the day before yesterday were quite effective. At this moment, dozens of people have gathered outside the store. They all came to watch the opening ceremony because the flyer said that candies would be distributed to celebrate after the opening.
At 9:18, amid the crackling sound of firecrackers, the red cloth covering the sign was torn off, and handfuls of candy were scattered to the crowd.
"Thank you all for your support. Our sister's 8751 clothing store is officially open! Buy a piece of clothing in the first three days and you can get a free lottery draw. First come, first served!" Li Mengxue shouted loudly.
"Don't miss it if you pass by! You can come in and take a look whether you want to buy clothes or not. It's free to try on clothes!" Qian Duoduo also shouted.
It is Chinese people’s nature to love to join in the fun.
The lively scene outside the store attracted many passers-by, who rushed into the store.
Yi Qingqing and the others had already made the division of labor in advance. The men were responsible for looking after the men's clothing area, and the women were responsible for looking after the women's clothing area. Whoever paid the bill would be responsible for taking people to the lottery.
Their store adheres to the principle that everyone who comes is a guest. Even if there are people who come here just to try but not to buy, they will be greeted with a smile and provided warm service.
The clothes hanging on the hangers in their store are all samples, specially for people to try on.
It is a seller's market these days. Who hasn't been treated coldly by a salesperson when going shopping? The salesperson position in state-owned stores is a popular one. Those who can do this job are the envy of everyone.
Even if you are hurt by someone's service attitude, no matter how uncomfortable you feel, you still have to go to buy things.
If you don't know how to wear the ready-made clothes in department stores, the salesperson won't let you try them on. And if you try on clothes but don't buy them, you'll be looked down upon.
The enthusiastic service attitude of the 8751 clothing store immediately makes people feel different. Who can not be happy to be praised and praised? And the clothes are really good. The ones in state-owned stores are not as good-looking as those here. In the words of the store owner, their clothes are not as bright as those in state-owned stores, but they are better-looking than others when worn, because their clothes do not steal the show, but set off the beauty of the people wearing them!
Even if some people came here deliberately to take advantage, after trying on the clothes and seeing themselves in the mirror looking much better and more energetic, and then hearing about the lottery at the counter next to them, where someone won a small bag of fine grains and someone else won a small piece of meat, they would grit their teeth and buy the clothes.
The wave of people coming in at the opening in the morning slowly passed by, and then people coming off work in the factory at noon passed by to have a look. In the afternoon, many school students came, and in the evening when people got off work, there was another small peak.
That day, Yi Qingqing and her friends were busy from morning till night, their faces were so stiff that they couldn't smile. They didn't have lunch until one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was dark when they saw off the last customer. All the state-owned restaurants were closed, so they had to cook for themselves.
But although everyone was physically tired, they were very happy in their hearts.
The busier you are, the better the business, the higher your income will be, and the busier you are, the more excited you are.
After closing, several people went their separate ways. Yi Qingqing, Yun Guyuan, and Qian Duoduo went to cook, while the others reorganized the store, cleaning what needed to be done and restocking what needed to be done.
After finishing the work, the meal was ready.
After quickly finishing their meal and clearing the table, everyone brought today's earnings and clothing sales receipts to the table and piled them up, then counted the money.
They mainly sell various woolen coats. The prices are similar to those of woolen coats in state-owned stores. Short ones are slightly cheaper, long ones are more expensive, and those with more complicated workmanship have a higher price. Overall, the unit price is between 30 and 60 yuan.
People who work in the capital can buy one with about one to two months’ salary. It is considered a luxury item, but no tickets are required. There are still many people who have money on hand.
The quality of their clothes would be sold for thousands of dollars in later generations.
The cost of each piece of clothing is about 40% of the selling price, which includes material costs, transportation costs, labor costs, venue fees, etc.
Everyone who participated in the sales today has a rough idea of the number. About 20 to 30 items were sold today. Now we just have to wait for the money to come in to calculate the specific amount.
Everyone watched her calculating with the abacus, and they didn't feel bored at all. They were full of anticipation, and their eyes were shining with the light of money.
