Chapter 159 Big Mistake
The young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a smile on his lips. He looked her up and down and said with a smile, "She is indeed a pretty girl. My grandfather and grandmother even asked the nanny to take a few sets of Spring Festival couplets home. The calligraphy is also generous and free, and the Spring Festival couplets are novel and attractive in gold-sprinkled design. It is indeed not possible to buy them without a few cents. No wonder so many people support you.
But, you guys came here with a few sacks of money today. Have you sorted out the accounts? Are you making a profit or a loss?"
Everyone let out a slight chuckle, and the cumulative effect of the chuckles was particularly obvious.
"Oh, everyone is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself," the young man raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms and pointed at the only female director, "Director Ji, you don't think highly of them?"
Director Ji's serious expression faded a little, and he said with a smile, "Minister Li, it's not that I don't think highly of them, it's that we all don't think highly of them. I believe that the president and the district director, as well as a smart Minister like you, don't think highly of them, right?"
"Did you see that?" Director Qu pointed at everyone angrily and said to Director Huang, "Why can they run the store so well? They are smart and don't even need to sort out the accounts to know whether you are making a profit or a loss. Director Ji, explain to them what's going on. These fools are making me mad!"
Director Ji nodded solemnly, turned to Director Huang and his group, glanced over An Zhixia, shook his head and sighed, "Director Huang, you still have to make your own decisions on some things. Young people have many tricks, but they don't consider things comprehensively, which leads you into a dead end. Do you think that selling all the things for a few sacks of money and making Dongfeng Shili famous in the entire East District is a victory, and that you can reverse the losses of Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative and catch up with us after revitalization?
Wrong, totally wrong. Did you have a free gift promotion yesterday? Buy 50 cents and get 20 cents free, buy one dollar and get 40 cents free, buy five dollars and get two and a half dollars free, buy ten dollars and get six dollars free! The more you buy, the more you get. I also heard that you hired a bunch of odd jobs. Don't the wages plus the extra window decorations, New Year paintings and Spring Festival couplets you gave away all cost money? I'm afraid the total discount must be more than 40%, 50% or more?
Our district director gave you a minimum clearance price of 40% off. All products, seven or eight rooms of inventory, have a 10% profit reduction. How much loss will you have? Hey, anyone with a little bit of brains knows that you are really selling at a loss. Otherwise, why would the people of the entire Dongcheng District go to you to buy?"
Director Huang and his group were a little stunned, and couldn't help but look at An Zhixia. They remembered that when they questioned the loss of the free gift event, she patted her chest and swore that it was absolutely not a loss. They were busy now, and they relied on their inexplicable belief in her and really didn't think much about it. Now, it seems that they have lost a lot?
However, they had high aspirations in their eyes. Comrade Xiao An would surely be able to turn decay into magic. After all, even if it meant losing money, no one could create such a commotion that would alarm all the citizens of Dongcheng District.
An Zhixia smiled and said, "Ah, now I know why the performance of our supply and marketing cooperative is so different from that of the department store. This is definitely not just a difference in the types of goods and the styles of choice."
"You little girl, we are talking about your problems, what are you talking about? The gap between our supply and marketing cooperative and the department store is not something you, a little girl, can comment on!" The thin director was so angry that he couldn't help but say, "A little comrade like you, who is so capable, should not stay in our supply and marketing cooperative. Go to the department store and see if they want you."
"Oh?" Minister Li was not annoyed. He asked with interest before the district director: "From what I heard, you have only been in Kyoto for a few days and you are still busy with resettlement and reporting. How come you can see the problem so quickly? Why don't we all sit down and talk about these two issues and see what each of us is lacking so that we can have a good start next year."
"Xiao Li," the district director rubbed his temple helplessly, "If they are confused, are you confused too? Anyway, Dongfeng Shili will be closed today. You go back and wait for notification to see if there are any vacancies in the system."
An Zhixia sneered and said directly, "Director Ji is right. It is easy for one person to lead everyone into a misunderstanding and they cannot get out of it. Don't you know that even if we offer the highest discount, buy five yuan and get two and a half yuan free, it is only 6.7% off. Buy ten yuan and get six yuan free, which is 6.25% off? It is higher than the 60% discount standard given to us by the district director."
Everyone was stunned, it was clearly 50% and 40% off!
"No, buy five and get two and a half, it's actually seven and a half and get two and a half, it's really 6.67% off!" an accountant standing in the corner exclaimed. "Buy ten and get six and get six, it's sixteen, six dollars cheaper, it's really 6.25% off!"
Everyone realized that such a big discount was still earned on the cost price? Their faces flushed red. After all, they were in their forties and worked in the system dealing with money all day long. How could they be so confident to embarrass themselves in front of a junior?
The president and the district director also gasped and looked at each other.
"Well, Minister Li is right. Let's go together and find a large conference room to sit down and discuss the problem. We can't just muddle through and waste time all day long. It's better to do something serious and catch up with, ahem, the gap with the department store." The district chief understood the president's intention and arranged for everyone to go to the large conference room upstairs.
"By the way, let the comrades from the Finance Department come up together. After the meeting, we will continue to calculate and work overtime. The salary will be paid at three times the usual overtime pay. Although today is New Year's Eve, the tasks that need to be completed cannot be postponed. After today's work, let them take an extra day off when they take turns to rest." The president called the assistant and instructed. "All comrades who attended the meeting today, do the same!"
The group of people carried their own money bags without any reluctance, on the one hand, they could get triple overtime pay, on the other hand, they were full of curiosity and excitement about this full discount activity, their hearts were boiling. If this method is used well, then is it still a dream for them to surpass the department store?
The conference room is very large, a multimedia function room that can accommodate 200 people at the same time. The seats are still the foldable wooden chairs nailed to the steps in the cinema. The difference is that there is a pull-down board on the back of the chair that serves as a tabletop for everyone to take notes and place water cups.
Everyone gathered in the middle of the front row, and the president and district director naturally sat in the middle of the first group. "Comrade Xiao An, please help us explain this full-gift event, and tell us what you found about the gap between our supply and marketing cooperative and the department store." The president said kindly, "Don't be afraid of saying something wrong, just say whatever you think, let us all listen to the outside voice, and we can also make some improvements."
