Shen Yunzhao was sitting in her office, which was right next to Zhao Kai's office. It was a suite with an area of more than 50 square meters, consisting of a bedroom, a living room, and a bathroom. The soft furnishings inside had hardly been changed and were still the original ones, so the style was rather cold and hard.
Shen Yunzhao sat on the sofa in the living room, and Zhao Kai sat opposite her, reporting to her on the first day of opening.
"...Customers generally say the vegetables and mushrooms are delicious, so they're selling the fastest... Today's customer flow is a bit higher than usual, but not significantly higher. I analyzed the reasons and it's mainly because we didn't promote our opening, so not many people know about it..."
Shen Yunzhao's brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowned.
"We're considering this as a trial run for now! Let's see how things go first. I'll have someone pick an auspicious day and hold an opening ceremony later."
"Really?" Zhao Kai looked up in surprise, "Boss Shen, have you finally figured it out?"
He thought the villa would just start operating quietly without even any ceremony.
Shen Yunzhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What do you mean by figured it out or not? I originally planned to pick a date for the ceremony. I wanted to discuss this with you before, but I was just too busy and forgot. And we also need to advertise in the city."
"Don't you want to advertise?"
"We have to fight, but not now, but later."
The main reason is that Shen Yunzhao is short of money!
"Boss Shen, we can't wait for a while, we have to consider it now! Are you worried about the money? Don't worry about that. Not all advertisements require a lot of money. Some only require a few thousand or even a few hundred yuan."
Shen Yunzhao asked, "Is there such a cheap one?"
"Of course. It depends on where you play. For example, in a residential building's elevator, it usually only costs a few hundred yuan a year, which isn't much."
Speaking of this, Zhao Kai was very excited. "Boss Shen, this is what I think. Our villa doesn't have much money right now, so we won't advertise in places with a lot of traffic, like the bus station or Wanda Plaza. Advertising in these places is too expensive. We will advertise in places with slightly less traffic, such as Mingzhu Plaza and the community elevator..."
Zhao Kai is more experienced in this area than Shen Yunzhao, and he can explain it clearly.
Shen Yunzhao had never been involved in this before, so he left all such matters to Zhao Kai.
The two discussed the matter of advertising, and Shen Yunzhao said, "I will hire a purchasing agent, who will be responsible for purchasing everything the villa needs in the future."
Shen Yunzhao had told Zhao Kai about this matter before, so Zhao Kai didn't ask any more questions.
Instead, he made a suggestion, "Boss Shen, I have an idea. The vegetables in our villa are divided into two categories. One category is the ones you sent over, which are pure natural and pollution-free vegetables. These vegetables are more expensive."
"There's another category of vegetables we buy from outside, and they can be cheaper. Some customers are very price-sensitive, so we can recommend them to order cheaper ones. I also think mushrooms can be categorized this way."
This was a problem Zhao Kai discovered while chatting with customers at noon today. Many customers complained that although the dishes were delicious, they were too expensive.
If the villa offers two kinds of dishes, it can cater to customers with different needs.
Shen Yunzhao thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Of course, the most crucial reason is that the amount of vegetables she grows is not enough to supply in large quantities.
There are also mushrooms.
The two discussed some things again. Shen Yunzhao originally planned to stay in the villa, but because he had to find Zhou Xingbo, he had to leave.
…
"Yun Zhao, what do you want from me?"
Shen Yunzhao came to the house rented by Zhou Xingbo. Zhou Xingbo was at home and did not go out.
Shen Yunzhao got straight to the point and said, "Brother, I want to tell you something. I want to invite you to join Tianfu Villa and become the villa's purchasing agent."
"Wait, what is Tianfu Villa? What is procurement?"
Zhou Xingbo didn't understand what Shen Yunzhao meant at all, and he was a little confused.
"It's like this. A few days ago, I acquired Tianfu Villa. Now Tianfu Villa is my property. Now the villa is still short of a purchaser, and I would like to ask for your help."
Zhou Xingbo was stunned for several seconds before finally reacting.
"You acquired Tianfu Villa? I remember that villa was quite large. Although it was in the suburbs, it wasn't cheap to acquire. Did you really acquire this villa?"
"yes."
"Oh my god! Yun Zhao, you are amazing!"
Zhou Xingbo's voice rose in surprise, "Yun Zhao, when did you buy this villa?"
Shen Yunzhao felt a little helpless. Why was his cousin so jumpy and gossipy?
"Brother, don't worry about it for now. I just want to ask you, are you willing to be a purchasing agent?"
"this……"
Zhou Xingbo hesitated. He still had a stable job and a good income, about 100,000 yuan a year.
He was reluctant to quit his job and work with Shen Yunzhao.
Shen Yunzhao guessed the reason for Zhou Xingbo's hesitation and advised, "Brother, the salary I will give you will not be lower than your current salary. The annual salary is temporarily set at 100,000, and it also includes five insurances and one fund. If the villa's business is good in the future, there will be dividends."
"I don't think you'll be able to keep that job for long. I'm not kidding, but the economic situation has been bad in recent years, and the entire real estate industry has been shrinking. Many large real estate companies have gone bankrupt. Although our small county hasn't been affected yet, it will be affected sooner or later."
"Your current job earns you 100,000 yuan a year, but in a few years that's probably gone, and you might even be laid off."
It’s not that Shen Yunzhao was talking nonsense. In the dream, after a few years, Zhou Xingbo’s company received fewer and fewer projects, and his salary dropped sharply. Although he was not laid off, his salary was extremely low.
Zhou Xingbo was still hesitating.
Shen Yunzhao said again, "Brother, how about Tianfu Villa? Why don't you take some time to go and take a look before making a decision. How about you give me an answer in three days?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xingbo breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay. I'll come to your house in three days."
"Can."
After Shen Yunzhao left, Zhou Xingbo drank tea in the living room and thought about what she had just said.
He also knows that real estate companies have been having a harder time in recent years, and the future will probably only get harder, not better.
His job is relatively stable now, simply because the company only takes on previous projects, but there have been fewer and fewer new projects in the past two years.
Old projects always have to be completed. When the old projects are completed, and there are no new projects, can the company survive? Can he still keep his job?
"what's on your mind?"
When Yuan Chunhua entered the room, she saw her husband sitting in a chair in deep thought, and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Oh, nothing. Yun Zhao came over just now..."
Zhou Xingbo briefly recounted the story of Shen Yunzhao’s visit.
Like him, Yuan Chunhua grasped the key point: "Did Yun Zhao make a fortune? He actually bought Tianfu Villa?"
