When the senior executives of Dongsheng were in a meeting, they were all grinning from ear to ear, and they would also give a few compliments to Jiang Shiyue who was not present.
"Jiang Shiyue is truly amazing! Luckily, she removed all the original counters on the first floor and concentrated all the merchandise in one area. Otherwise, with so many people buying things, there would probably be long lines everywhere, which would be a waste of resources. Right now, there are long lines at the checkout counters, but thankfully, we have many checkout counters, so efficiency is high, and customers won't leave because they can't wait!"
"There are a lot of people, but there are also quite a few customers coming to return or exchange items. Every counter has a lot of return and exchange records every day."
"Returns and exchanges alone are fine, but the maintenance department is already overwhelmed with the added staff. If this continues, I don't know if the revenue will be enough to cover the maintenance department."
"Not really, is it? The repair department isn't entirely free. Don't forget there are also paid services, and there are still long lines. For example, the line for hemming repairs could wrap around Dongsheng. Some trouser leg repairs are free, but some discounted clothes are not covered by the warranty, so zipper replacements and other things are charged separately."
"People in the inland areas are very good at getting by. Even though there's a long line of people waiting for free trouser hem repairs, getting them to pay for it is... it's really hard."
"Stop arguing. Whether it's a profit or a loss, just take a look at the financial statements. Mr. Duan, why haven't the financial statements been issued in the past few days?"
Duan Kunze finally spoke, calmly saying, "I gave the Finance Department a few days off and asked them to go home and take a look. We'll be busy in a few days."
The entire conference room seemed to be paused.
Soon, various doubts arose.
"Mr. Duan, Dongsheng is so busy right now, why are you still giving the finance department a holiday?"
"How can we do this without financial statements? If, and I mean if, this "three guarantees" service policy turns into a loss, we can see the financial statements so we can stop the loss in time."
“…”
When the chatter died down, Duan Kunze spoke up, "Are you anxious to see the financial statements yourself? Or are you anxious to let your opponents see the financial statements?"
The executives in the conference room looked at each other, not understanding what Duan Kunze meant for a moment.
But at least the conference room became quiet.
"Right now, the entire retail industry is waiting for our financial statements and wants to know our sales figures. Especially the people across the street..." Duan Kunze pointed out the window, "They're racking their brains to get information! I heard He Tianning is offering a high price for information."
The executives reacted quickly and expressed their loyalty, saying how loyal they were to Dongsheng and that they would never sell out the company's interests for a small amount of money.
Duan Kunze smiled, but it was clear he didn't take it seriously. He raised his hand to silence everyone, "I trust you all, but I don't trust myself. I heard He Tianning offered a very attractive price. I'm afraid I'll be tempted. Anyway, it doesn't hurt the company's interests. It's just a number that will eventually appear in the newspapers. Why not take advantage of it if I can get a high price?"
Executives: “…”
Who among us here isn't a shrewd person? How could we fail to hear the hidden meaning behind Duan Kunze's words?
They all lowered their heads and said nothing.
"So, to prevent myself from being tempted, I simply don't let myself know the numbers. Every day the finance department doesn't come up with the numbers, everyone will have to wait one more day. Including Yong'an!"
Dongsheng and Yongan have been fighting for more than 20 years and there has never been a clear winner.
This is the only chance to get rid of Yongan.
Duan Kunze didn't want to make any mistakes.
So he accepted Jiang Shiyue's simple and crude idea of anti-spying.
All shopping receipts are classified according to date and cabinet group, locked in boxes and sent to the safe every day.
Thousands of shopping receipts pile up every day. Even He Tianning couldn't steal so many receipts quietly, calculate them quickly, and then return them quietly.
Even if He Tianning could do it, he still couldn't calculate the profit because he didn't know the costs behind the sales.
Even if He Tianning knew the cost of goods, he didn't know the labor cost.
Now that the supermarket on the first floor has undergone major renovations, and a maintenance department has been set up and a lot of people have been hired, the pre-opening data that He Tianning obtained has changed a lot.
Now no one in the world knows Dongsheng’s recent turnover, not even he himself knows.
Of course, doing so would also involve great risks. If the profit is negative every day, every day of delay will result in an additional day of loss, and Yong'an will be left far behind.
It's equivalent to a big gamble.
If he wins, he will firmly hold the position of Crown Prince of Dongsheng and keep Yong'an under his feet forever.
If they lose, they will not only lose to Yongan, but will also be eliminated from the family dispute.
Now, everyone is waiting for the prize draw.
***
Jiang Shiyue has rarely gone to Dongsheng since Dongsheng successfully implemented the "Three Guarantees" service policy.
She attends classes when she has them during the day, and takes Li Xiao and Yang Yang out to play when she doesn't have them.
Yangyang still speaks very little now, but he is no longer so resistant to crowds.
No matter how mature he is, he is still just a three-year-old child.
Occasionally, I also enjoy some playgrounds that normal kids like.
The facilities in the amusement park in 1978 were far from being as high-end as the postmodern ones. They were just ordinary amusement facilities.
Such as bumper cars, carousels, lifts, etc.
When Yangyang was playing with these, a childish smile rarely appeared on his face.
Li Xiao was also very happy.
Li Xiao is just like her name, she loves to laugh. Like Li Dagang, she has a baby face, and her two dimples are very cute when she smiles.
Li Xiao had just gotten off the bumper car when Jiang Shiyue handed her a bottle of foreign soda.
"Thank you, Sister Yueyue." Li Xiao took the drink and gulped it down. He burped, pinching his sore nose for a while to calm down before speaking again, "Sister Yueyue, you've helped me find a place to live."
Jiang Shiyue took a few days off and stayed in a hotel with Yangyang and Li Xiao.
There was only one single bed in the dormitory, which was too difficult for them. Furthermore, the dormitory was a relatively private public place, and there were six other women in the dormitory. Yangyang, who was already three years old, was not suitable to live with them. It would be inconvenient for him to take a shower or go to the toilet.
Jiang Shiyue thought about renting another house near the school.
It was also difficult to rent a house in 1978 because personal transactions were not allowed.
If you want to rent a house, you basically have to do it in secret.
When renting a house, you cannot tell others that it is rented. You have to say that the landlord's relative is temporarily staying there.
Even so, the landlord dare not rent the house to strangers easily.
Because it is now collectively owned, many people's houses are allocated by their work units.
The allocation of housing by the company is also a matter that reflects interpersonal relationships.
Some people divide one house into two, living in one and leaving the other idle.
But there are also some people who wait year after year but still cannot get a house.
Jiang Shiyue was a little surprised, "So fast? Xiaoxiao, you can do it!"
I really didn't expect this girl to be so capable. "How did you do it?"
Li Xiao touched his head embarrassedly, "Then don't be angry if I tell you!"
