Chapter 197 Helping the King Do Business
In the distance, Zhang Xueyue sketched the beautiful flowers, which were what her heart desired.
"Her letter?"
Seeing Gu Feixue smiling, Yuchi Shuo beside him asked jealously.
Gu Feixue then realized something. She pursed her lips and smiled, handing the paper over.
Yuchi Shuo was surprised when he saw it. "Why? How come she also knows this?"
"This isn't our patent. Besides, she's just a girl, how many words can she write? This one comes faster."
"That's right." Yuchi Shuo nodded.
Both of them were planning to go to Jiangzhou.
Night fell and the day passed.
The next day, Gu Feixue, Wang Mazi and a group of people went to the clothing store.
Gu Feixue asked around and found out that the clothes in this clothing store were not very expensive. She wondered why the low prices couldn't attract repeat customers?
“How do you pay them?”
Gu Feixue asked.
In fact, Wang Mazi didn't think much of Gu Feixue, especially in private, and Gu Feixue knew it very well.
From Wang Mazi's contemptuous eyes, Gu Feixue saw his contempt, sarcasm and indifference towards her. Gu Feixue turned and left, I am willing to help turn defeat into victory, you are fine.
Seeing Gu Feixue leave proudly, Wang Mazi pointed at her back.
"Where has she been? Bringing her back to me is so shameless. I am the master and she is the master."
"Of course you are the master." The servant hurried to chase him, but Gu Feixue left without looking back.
In the afternoon, Wang Mazi was scolded.
Yuchi Shuo threw a washboard at Wang Mazi. "You really know how to offend people. I assigned her there. You just need to cooperate with her in everything she needs to do. What's wrong? You're pretending to obey her but secretly disobeying her and making things difficult for her? I'm weak and can't move around easily. I'm the one who controls her, but you're so good at it. You either make excuses or make things difficult for her. This won't happen again."
"Yes, yes," Wang Mazi nodded hurriedly, "This won't happen again, this won't happen again."
Gu Feixue got the support of the "old man", and everything is different.
Gu Feixue looked around the town and found that there were many tailor shops in the town, but none of them were large in scale. Only Wang Mazi's shop had a large area and many employees. These employees were all in high spirits when they saw Wang Mazi.
But from the scattered melon seed shells on the ground and the sweet and sour sauce at the corner of someone's mouth, Gu Feixue understood that they were slacking off.
Actually, it’s not their fault. After all, their customer base and business are limited.
“How do you pay them when you owe them wages?”
Before, Wang Mazi did not cooperate with Gu Feixue, so he was severely punished when he returned. Now he has experience, so Wang Mazi answers whatever Gu Feixue asks.
"I'm paid monthly, my dear girl. God knows I'll never treat them badly even if I have to wait for the rice to cook. To be honest, my tailor shop in Jiangzhou is doing well, and I also have my own silk weaving factory."
"We send the fabrics made in our own silk weaving factory here. This is an integrated approach."
In other words, this is a one-stop service.
Logically, it should have been done very well, but who knew that it was spending more than it earned.
Wang Mazi is a sarcastic person. Normally, he treats people unfairly every month, but the business of this garment store is his top priority. Therefore, Wang Mazi dare not act recklessly at all. He needs to maintain a good reputation.
Gu Feixue looked at the doors of several shops.
The first one is located at a T-junction, with long roads to the east, west, south and north, and has the best location and time.
Wang Mazi sighed, "This family used to be very popular, but for some reason, they've become so deserted now. Miss, please take a look at them and give us feedback so we can come up with a plan to revive them."
"Stay away, I'll take a look."
Gu Feixue said so.
Immediately after Wang Mazi left, Gu Feixue stood there and watched. A young man entered the store, followed by a group of waiters who came to greet him. They surrounded the man like stars surrounding the moon, and the man felt uneasy.
"Sir, if you want to order something, we can tailor it to your measurements." A talkative waiter came over.
The excessive enthusiasm flattered the guests.
Before the man opened his mouth, someone had already started selling. A crowd surrounded the customer, introducing the most beautiful patterns, the most popular styles, etc. with flowery words. The man did not dare to place a custom order and fled.
Seeing this man coming out in a dejected manner, Gu Feixue hurriedly chased after him.
"This is really weird. I was scared to death." The man muttered nervously.
Gu Feixue went over and asked, "My dear, where did you order your clothes?"
"I was planning to order it custom-made, but after entering the store, they took turns showing me the brocades. I was dazzled by the dazzling colors, and they ignored my wishes and just kept showing me the products. So I ran away."
Gu Feixue understood that they were eager to make a deal, but because of this, they scared away many people.
She came out with a worried look on her face. Wang Mazi saw Gu Feixue's depressed look and hurried over to her. "Miss Gu, what did you observe? How do you feel?"
"It remains to be discussed. Please wait a moment." Gu Feixue signaled Wang Mazi to be patient.
Wang Mazi could only nod.
Gu Feixue followed and came to the second store. It was deserted. When a customer came in, the owner ignored him. The customer left angrily and left a bad review. As a result, the store's reputation continued to decline.
Back in the house, Gu Feixue and Yuchi Shuo started chatting.
"So," he said, "the reason why business is not good is not just because of the style, but the service attitude."
"Survival of the fittest, but excessive enthusiasm will make people defensive. If people are like this, business will get worse and worse." Gu Feixue frowned.
"Secondly," Gu Feixue continued, "they are paid monthly. In other words, this group of people are assigned according to demand. They only need to work for a month to receive their salary. There is no difference between working hard and not working hard. Over time, people begin to become passive and lazy." Gu Feixue analyzed calmly.
Hearing this, Yuchi Shuo asked, "How to break it?"
"Without destruction, there is no construction. I have a way to transform the current employment system into a stock system. This way, the interests of the store will be closely linked to everyone. And this way, Wang Mazi can also get some money out of thin air. Why wouldn't he do it?"
Hearing this, Yuchi Shuo nodded.
Gu Feixue continued, "Lay off the staff, fire those people who are just sitting there doing nothing, retain a group of veterans and young people who are wholeheartedly committed to the store, redefine the styles, select the materials, specify the fabrics, and then introduce new products. That's how we can revive the store."
After hearing this, Yuchi Shuo gradually understood.
He nodded in approval.
