After leaving Guangzhou, Jianshu rushed to Shenzhen and went through the whole process as usual.
It's conceivable that as the business grows, she'll be busy. However, she doesn't have to be there every year. This year is her first, so of course she has to take it seriously.
After traveling to several places and returning to Beijing, there were only three days left before the Chinese New Year.
Even so, she couldn't rest yet. She rushed to the store without stopping, took out the account book and started checking the accounts.
Before leaving, she planned a year-end reward event where anyone who made a purchase in the store could enter a raffle, with the grand prize being a bicycle.
These days, bicycles are the most affordable items and are very popular among people.
In addition to the special prize, there are also several first, second and third prizes. The prizes include electric fans, radios, electronic watches, canned sauces, etc., all of which are taken from electronics factories and food factories, which can save costs to the greatest extent.
However, the winning rates of these prizes are not high, and the total number is only about twenty. If you want to say which one has the highest winning rate, it has to be the lucky prize - a 95% off coupon.
The winning rate is as high as 50%, which means that basically one out of two people will win.
In order to enjoy the discounts, these lottery winners will choose to spend money. In winter, down jackets, wool sweaters and other items are much more expensive than in summer.
The prices are high, the savings from discounts are huge, and customers are happy to spend their money. At the same time, the store's turnover is up, and Jianshu is naturally happy too.
It can be said that everyone is happy.
In this way, the party was lively for several days. When Jianshu came back, there were still some residual firecracker debris outside the door.
After reading the account book, she had an idea of the profits this time.
The turnover reached a new high, breaking the record, and the event was a complete success!
It seems that it is time to put the matters of men's clothing stores and children's clothing stores on the agenda.
Jian Shu was thinking in his mind, but his face remained expressionless.
In the evening, as usual, bonuses and New Year's goods were distributed to the employees of the two stores. Then, we took everyone to Zhishanzhai for a big meal and a lottery. This year's work was finally successfully completed.
After returning home, Jianshu collapsed on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's finally over! I'm so tired!"
Last year, it was fine, with only two stores and one factory keeping her busy. This year, there are three more stores and two more factories. Ding Ming is in charge of the electronics factory, so she doesn't have to worry too much. Otherwise, even if she were split into four, she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Seeing this, Gu Mingjing put down the newspaper, sat down next to her and gently rubbed her shoulders. "If you're tired, just take a break. Why keep pushing yourself? You can never make enough money."
Jian Shu: "Alas, it's only the first year, and everything is just starting. I have to keep a close eye on it. Next year I won't be there, and I'll let the deputy factory managers and store managers handle it themselves. I'll just be responsible for disbursing the money."
At that time, the train was too slow, and it would take more than half a month to travel back and forth between several places. When the business grew bigger, she would definitely not be able to do it herself.
No, she will have to hire an assistant next year. Someone needs to help her take care of all the trivial matters. It will take too much time for her to do it herself.
It's just that it's not easy to find such people. They must have outstanding abilities and good character. Such people either work in state-owned factories or in schools.
Seeing Jianshu frowning again, Gu Mingjing sighed softly and smoothed her brows, "Okay, now that you're home, don't think about work. If there's anything, wait until after the New Year to deal with it. During the New Year, we should be happy."
"That's right!" Jian Shu's brows relaxed. There was no point in worrying at this moment. No matter how much she worried, talented people wouldn't just stumble upon her.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, things will work out when the time comes.
"By the way, Dad said he would take us to watch the Spring Festival Gala this year?"
"Well, that's what I said. Don't you want to go?"
"Of course I do! Of course I do, it's the Spring Festival Gala!" Jian Shu said excitedly.
Although the Spring Festival Gala was criticized decades later, it was still unique in that era.
Especially since this year is the first Spring Festival Gala, how can its value and influence be compared?
"Ouch!" Jianshu exclaimed, slapping his thigh.
Gu Mingjing rubbed his legs, looking helpless, "What's wrong?"
Jianshu regretted it very much, "It's all my fault that I've been so busy lately that I forgot about this. If I had known earlier, why would I have held such a lottery promotion? I could have just advertised on the Spring Festival Gala instead." What better promotion than the Spring Festival Gala?
"Advertising?"
"Think about it, there are bound to be a lot of people watching the Spring Festival Gala this year, right? If the hosts or performers wear our clothes, wouldn't a lot of people follow suit after the show? By then, will our store still have business to worry about?"
The more I think about it, the more I regret it.
"Will this work? No one has ever done this before." Gu Mingjing looked hesitant.
"Why not? We're not asking them to do anything bad. They're just wearing our clothes, right? I guarantee the clothes in our store are much better looking than their own. With the extra sponsorship money, they can polish the show even better, and we'll get some publicity, which will boost business. It's a win-win situation, a mutually beneficial one, how great!"
“That seems to make some sense.”
"Not just a little, it makes perfect sense!" Jian Shu said, then lost his temper again. "It's a pity it's too late to say this now."
The Spring Festival Gala is about to begin. If you sponsor it now, it will be over.
Seeing his wife unhappy, Gu Mingjing quickly comforted her, "If it doesn't work out this year, there's still next year, right? The year after next, the year after that, there's plenty of time in the future."
Jian Shu gave him a resentful look and said, "You don't understand."
Starting next year, there will be competition! This year was the perfect piece of cake, but it's a pity she missed it.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's do it next year. Where's your daughter? Why hasn't she come home yet so late?" Jian Shu shook his head, sat up, and looked around.
She asked why the house was so quiet, and it turned out that her little devil was not there.
Gu Mingjing's mouth twitched slightly, "He ran away after dinner, saying he wanted to go play ghost hunting. I couldn't call him back."
He used to be the busiest one in the family, but every night after work, he could see his wife and daughter.
But now, whenever I get home, there is always no one at home. It is very quiet and deserted. I often sit on the sofa with my father-in-law and stare at each other.
"This kid is getting wilder and wilder! In this kind of weather, he still runs outside every day? Isn't he afraid of catching a cold?" Jian Shu frowned and stood up, wanting to catch the kid back.
Gu Mingjing quickly pulled her back and said, "Okay, it's been snowing for the past few days, and she's been cooped up at home for a few days. Now that the snow has finally stopped, let her go out and get some fresh air."
"You're the only one who spoils her!" The words were impolite, but Jian Shu still sat back down under the force.
Gu Mingjing smiled and said nothing more.
