Chapter 96 The Eve of the Store Opening
The children also missed their parents. This time they were away for a long time, more than three days. Although they called, hearing from them was not as good as meeting them in person. The voice was distorted through the microphone.
As soon as Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu got home, they saw Mantou, Doubao and Tangyuan coming home from school. Dad Xiao couldn't help but fly high with Tangyuan in his arms, and Doubao immediately refused to do anything.
"Dad, I want to lift it up high too, Feifei."
"Okay, okay, line up, one by one."
After Mr. Xiao had been close enough to his little daughter, he picked up his youngest son. After flying for a while, he picked up his eldest son, making sure everyone was treated equally.
Qiao Qinglu was a little amused. She rubbed the children's heads and shared their study life over the past few days together.
After the meal, Master Shen and his companions stayed to discuss their gains from the past four days. This time, Qiao Qinglu did not settle the bill for them. They had agreed to settle the bill together before the shop opened.
Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu asked them to stay to discuss the store matters.
Qiao Qinglu: "Everyone has done a great job recently. We sold over 70,000 in 4 days. The sales volume is impressive. After this busy period is over and Xidan opens, I will give everyone a bonus."
After hearing this, Master Shen and the other six people applauded excitedly. Wow, Comrade Qiao is so generous, Comrade Qiao V5, Comrade Qiao who gave out bonuses is so cool, they will definitely work hard.
Qiao Qinglu waited for them to finish sharing the news before continuing, "We've opened two stores in Xidan, one clothing store and one electronics store. We need to hire two female sales clerks for the clothing store. After all, this store focuses on women's clothing, and you can try on clothes, so female sales clerks are more convenient for communicating with customers. For safety reasons, we'll also hire two male security guards who are skilled in martial arts. The salary won't be too high, but the advantage is stability."
Electronics shop salespeople, I'd like to select two of you and hire a male security guard who knows kung fu. Electronics are bulky items, and since they're locked behind the counter, three people will be enough. The remaining four will form two teams to continue setting up the stall, taking turns picking up the children every afternoon. From now on, the two teams will only sell clothing and no longer sell electronics. We'll also open a wholesale business, offering a 9.8% discount on orders of 100 pieces or more; 10% off for orders over 500 pieces; and 14% off for orders over 1,000 pieces. What are your thoughts?
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Master Yu stood up and said, "Comrade Qiao, you and Comrade Xiao are both capable people. Although I am not a smart person, I believe that I will not suffer any loss if I follow you. If you assign me to watch the store, I will watch the store. If you assign me to set up a stall, I will set up a stall."
Master Shen also said, "Comrade Qiao, you and Comrade Xiao are both people with ideas and big plans. We will follow your arrangements."
Liao Shaohui and others also nodded in agreement, their eyes clear.
Qiao Qinglu smiled and said, "Well, I suggest that Master Yu and Liao Shaohui go to the Xidan electric shop, Master Shen and Zhang Yuanhang go together, and Xue Ming and Li Yang go together to continue selling goods. Also, you find three brothers with good character and skills similar to yours to come over. The probation period is one month, the salary is 25 yuan, and after passing the test, the salary is 45 yuan."
The six people nodded and had no objection to this arrangement. After that, they were about to call their comrades.
Xiao Qinyun stopped Master Shen and Master Yu and asked the other four to leave first.
"Master Shen, last time you talked about buying a yard, do you still have any ideas?"
Master Shen was stunned. He hadn't saved enough money yet and only had a little over 7,000 yuan on hand. He wanted to buy a three-courtyard house.
"Today, near the Houhai courtyards, I ran into a street woman. She asked if anyone was looking for a courtyard house. She said there were three or four nearby that were for sale. She said they were all good courtyards, structurally sound, ready to live in without any renovations, and not slums. A two-story courtyard is over 4,000 yuan, and a three-story courtyard is around 7,000 yuan. If you're interested, take a look. If this courtyard suits you, you might be able to negotiate a price. If you're short on money, I can even give you an advance on your salary."
Master Shen was tempted. This was a great deal. A few months ago, he thought he had to save up 8,000 to buy a yard, but now he had 7,000.
Houhai is not far from here and the scenery is beautiful. He must seize this opportunity.
Master Yu was also tempted, "Comrade Xiao, is it a good time to buy this yard now?"
"You and Master Shen are family, so I won't say anything untoward. If you want to stay in Yanjing in the future, you'll need a place to live, whether it's a courtyard or a tube-shaped building. The price for the courtyard is quite reasonable, and if you don't have enough money, you can also advance your salary."
"Comrade Xiao, could you please help us connect with someone today? I'll take my passbook and look around the yard. If it's suitable, I'll buy it."
After Master Shen finished speaking, Master Yu nodded, and Xiao Qinyun agreed readily. This was what he had planned.
Qiao Qinglu nudged Xiao Qinyun and whispered, "We can't forget Aunt Qiu."
Xiao Qinyun clapped his hands, "I almost forgot, I'll tell you right away."
