Chapter 154: Deployment of Troops
"Hey, Comrade Xiao An, do you mean to write it yourself?" A man wearing glasses slapped his head and asked, "Your handwriting is as beautiful as printed. It will definitely look good if you write it as a couplet. However, the ink and red paper are also expensive."
"You guys go ahead and do it. I'll go to the headquarters to apply for funding. As long as we can sell the stagnant products, I believe the leaders will be willing to use some of the profits to give back to customers!" Director Huang touched his bald head excitedly. "Xiao An, just tell me what you need. Everyone in our Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative, including the director, will obey your orders!"
An Zhixia narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, "Director, what measures should we take for the goods piled up in the warehouse?"
"They are either distributed as employee benefits, sold at a reduced price, or transferred to remote towns for sale. They are all written off and released from storage on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis," Director Huang answered seriously.
"Then Director, please coordinate today and transfer all the goods squeezed out of the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives, as long as they are not expired or unusable. After all, the headquarters will not have any extra goods for us to sell at the end of the year." An Zhixia took out a notebook and wrote on it: "Remember that we are helping them export, so we have to keep the price as low as possible. You must fill out the agreement. No matter what price we sell, we only need to pay them the agreed price."
Even though Director Huang was full of questions and worries, when he thought about Old Yuan's high praise for An Zhixia, he gritted his teeth and nodded firmly to take charge of the task, setting a good example for everyone.
"The two purchasing brothers will go and print a few more copies of this notice on red paper, post them on wooden signs, and stick them at nearby intersections with heavy traffic."
"Sisters, get the types of goods you are responsible for from the director, manage your own counters, and remember that no matter how many customers there are, how slow they are, or how reluctant they are to spend money, you must smile and show your beautiful eight white teeth. Remember that we are salespeople, but we are paid by the state, so we must take on the responsibility of serving the public and treat them as our parents who provide us with food and clothing.
You know, they pay the money, and a share of it will go into our pockets in the end, so we can’t go against the money, right?”
Although they didn't know how An Zhixia got things done, seeing how the little girl was efficient and confident in her work, they inexplicably gave her 70% of their trust, and couldn't help but respond loudly to her words with excitement and approval.
"We smile sweetly and say nice things, so customers will be happy to pay. Sisters, please remember to promote that we are giving back to customers at the request of the headquarters, clearing out inventory and doing activities at a loss. When the new year comes, all the goods on the counter will be replaced with new ones with more styles. We hope everyone can take care of us."
An Zhixia made some requests to several salespeople, pointed out their importance, and turned to look at the cashier: "Sister Qian, you are a very important link in our supply and marketing cooperative. You must keep your temper steady, remember to check the accounts every time, and smile."
"Comrade Xiao An, what about us?" the two warehouse managers couldn't help but ask.
"The two brothers help the sisters to sort the goods and maintain order to avoid crowding and trampling. You also have to remember to have a good attitude. I believe the customers will cooperate."
"Sister Xiaohuan and I will be responsible for distributing the gifts."
Everyone nodded, and the old man who was burning the boiler was attracted by everyone's noise and couldn't help but point at himself: "Comrade Xiao An, what about me? Although I am old and have no great skills, I can still help a little."
"I really have something to trouble you...your husband," she took a deep breath and said with a smile, "If you have nothing to do, you can come to the supply and marketing cooperative to work as a temporary worker and ask her sisters who are skillful and willing to work to come with you."
Everyone looked at Director Huang with some sympathy. The cost of the ink and paper could be approved by the headquarters, but what about the wages for this group of aunts?
The old man did not dare to answer, and turned to look at the director with a little excitement. The old woman took care of her grandson at home, did housework, and pasted paper boxes to supplement the family income. If she could get a part-time job, even if the money was small, it would be better than pasting paper boxes, right?
"Shout!" Director Huang gritted his teeth and acted as a banner for An Zhixia.
"How much did you shout?" The old man turned his head and looked at An Zhixia again, and asked happily.
"I believe in you, sir. Auntie is definitely a good person. Anyone who works well and doesn't play tricks can come and report. Remember to help our Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative promote the event!"
"Okay!"
After some arrangements, everyone started to move, while An Zhixia went to the state-owned restaurant. Everyone was so idle that they were peeling garlic and chatting.
"Your supply and marketing cooperative is closed so soon?" The chef raised his eyelids and asked in surprise: "Although there is not much business on this street, you should just do your job as you wish. Don't close your shop."
"No, I'm asking everyone to help," An Zhixia said with a smile.
Everyone was startled and looked at her in confusion.
An Zhixia briefly told them about the supply and marketing cooperative's activities. "When I was at work today, I saw people queuing up outside the grain and oil station with blankets and stools. If our supply and marketing cooperative's activities are successful, then our streets will also be lively.
I think you can prepare some fragrant and filling meat buns, as well as free warming noodle soup, and there will definitely be people who can't resist the temptation and buy them.
As long as you make the buns successfully this time, attract some customers, and start selling breakfast, will you still be afraid of having no business in the future?
Some fried foods can also be prepared, after all, some families have little oil to fry. In addition to frying various meats, meatballs, couples, eggplant boxes, sugar cakes, sesame balls, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, onions and other vegetables can also be fried, and the price is not high. In order to celebrate the New Year, everyone has to bite the bullet and buy some for the children as snacks. "
"Xiao An, you also said that if the event is successful, but our street has never been lively, how can we make it a success?"
"Uncle Zhang, let's prepare everything first, so that if it really works, we won't be in a rush," An Zhiqiu suggested appropriately.
"Okay," Chef Zhang nodded. Although they had only spent half a day together, he felt that An Zhiqiu was a reliable person. He was also willing to give face to these two young men who were obviously not ordinary people. "I'll go and run around later. Usually, other sister restaurants intercept our food quotas at the headquarters. Now it's our turn to intercept theirs at the headquarters! The worst that can happen is that we can just send the ingredients back intact." Anyway, they have already trained their skins to be as thick as an iron wall and are not afraid of being criticized.
"Xia Xia, what else can we help with besides this?" An Zhiqiu asked.
"I want my uncle and brother to help us carve radish flowers," An Zhixia said as she took out the cut rice paper and began to outline on it with her hands very flexibly.
