Chapter 674 The ancestors carefully selected


Chapter 674 Ancestor’s Careful Selection

Li Dongling heard about the achievements created by Oriental Times Mall this morning. Whether it was passenger flow or transaction volume, it basically set a new record for domestic shopping malls!

"This morning is just the beginning. You must not go on business trips until the store closes tonight. In addition, sales and after-sales must be prepared!"

Li Dongling explained to Zhang Xiahai and others that this morning, the peak passenger flow period has not actually reached today. The passenger flow will not reach its peak until noon to afternoon.

That's a tough battle. It’s really time to test the Oriental Times Mall!

The Oriental Times Mall is crowded with people. Some people keep coming in, and some people keep walking out of the mall. If you observe carefully, you can see that for every five people walking out of the mall, one of them is holding a bag with clothes in it. or other products.

When you arrive at the underground parking lot, you can see just how busy the Oriental Times Mall is today!

Because the large-ticket products in Oriental Times Mall, including home appliances, beds, sofas, computers, TVs and other products, all go through the underground parking lot.

Today, when buying these large-ticket products at Oriental Times Mall, delivery is free within Pingyang City. In other areas, the delivery fee ranges from RMB 10 to RMB 50 depending on the size of the product and the distance.

Wang Xingtai is a distribution and installation master at Oriental Times Mall. He cooperates with another distribution master to install a Changhong brand TV into a small truck.

He had already forgotten which delivery trip it was today. Anyway, from the opening of Oriental Times Mall at eight o'clock to the transaction of the first home appliance, it took nine minutes. Then Wang Xingtai and a group of delivery masters started to get busy.

This busyness has never stopped. Of course, tiredness is tired, but the tiredness in Oriental Times Mall is different from the tiredness Wang Xingtai felt before.

He is physically tired now, but like other delivery masters, he looks very excited because he is making money!

Although delivery fees and installation fees are not charged for delivery in Pingyang City, Wang Xingtai and the others can get a commission. The delivery fee is five yuan per order. This morning, not counting the basic payment given to him by Oriental Times Mall. In terms of salary and commission alone, he earned 35 yuan!

According to this kind of delivery, Wang Xingtai can earn seventy or eighty yuan, or even more, in one day from the delivery fee alone.

Moreover, Oriental Times Mall also provided Wang Xingtai and other delivery and installation masters with two free meals and a dormitory with heating for six people. This was a treatment he had never received in other places before.

Therefore, although the Oriental Times Mall has strict rules, such as no violence in handling products, strict delivery times, attitude towards customers, compliance with traffic rules, restrictions on the accident rate of outbound delivery, etc., there are many rules, but delivery personnel like Wang Xingtai and others, Still no intention of leaving at all.

Delivery masters like Wang Xingtai are extremely busy. As for other departments of Oriental Times Mall, especially the sales and shopping guides, you can imagine how busy they are!

……

Alex is a die-hard football fan. He can really chase his favorite stars all the way. Whether it is a game or offline event, he will follow him, even overseas.

Of course, Alex himself is not short of money. He is a partner of a local investment company in old Europe. He also owns many properties such as house rentals and car washes, which can provide Alex with The financial base of avid fans.

In recent years, the star that Alex likes the most is undoubtedly Ronaldo, who rose up in old European football like a genius and then overcame other geniuses to make his name synonymous with genius.

This time Ronaldo suddenly announced his trip to Asia, and Alex naturally followed him. After a lot of effort and going through a lot of visas and procedures, he entered the Eastern country that is somewhat mysterious to old Europeans.

Not to mention now, even in a few decades, the impression of the country in places such as old Europe and America will come from the stereotyped impressions on local TV stations, newspapers and other media.

After flying and reversing all the way, Alex finally arrived in Pingyang. Even though the road from Hanxi Provincial City to Pingyang has been repaired, this road is already the smoothest road between the two cities in Hanxi Province. .

But Alex still felt tired from the bumpy ride. When he rushed to the Oriental Mall, and saw the people queuing up, Alex couldn't help but complain, why were there so many people.

Alex felt that there were more people queuing up in front of the Oriental Times Mall today than in the city he was in in Europe put together!

Before entering the Oriental Times Mall, Alex was a little dismissive of domestic shopping malls. The Oriental Times Mall in front of him looked really big.

But he doesn't believe that this shopping mall can surpass the large shopping malls like Carrefour in old Europe?

After all, since entering the country, the current infrastructure in the country is indeed not as good as that in old Europe, so Alex is somewhat disdainful of the Oriental Times Mall.

He came in mainly to fill his belly and meet his favorite star Ronaldo. He looked down upon this mall.

But when he entered, Alex couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The scene inside was a bit beyond his expectation. This mall seemed to be much larger than the largest Carrefour mall in his hometown. The interior decoration, The design seems to be even more outstanding...

Although Alex was a little reluctant to admit it, he knew that even if the Oriental Times Mall were placed in today's old Europe, it would definitely be a top mall!

Entering a random clothing store and seeing the prices inside, Alex converted the prices. They were much lower than those in old Europe. The quality of the products was also acceptable, but Alex didn't pay much attention to it. .

He felt that the clothing designs in old Europe were more fashionable and fashionable than the clothes he saw now, which gave Alex a "sense of superiority".

Without staying in the popular clothing area, under the guidance of the hired translator, Alex finally became interested and went straight to the luxury area when he found out that there was a luxury area in the Oriental Times Mall.

Alex is planning to buy some luxury goods back home. Due to the exchange rate, buying luxury goods in China is theoretically much cheaper than in old Europe. When we arrived at the north area on the fourth floor of Oriental Times Mall, we took the escalator here. There were obviously fewer people here, but the store decoration was obviously more magnificent than below.

Even when he came here, the air was filled with the smell of perfume. Alex had long been accustomed to this, as these were typical features of luxury areas.

Alex saw many familiar brands, such as Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Figgram, Burberry, etc. It was obvious that Oriental Times Mall had spent a lot of effort to invite these luxury stores. Came here.

After visiting several luxury stores, Alex was a little disappointed. He wanted to pick up the missing items, but he saw that in Louis Vuitton, Rolex and other luxury stores, the items displayed were old items from last year or even before. As for the styles, the latest styles are not supplied to the country at all. Obviously, they don’t pay much attention to the domestic luxury goods market or the Oriental Times Mall.

And in terms of price, Alex originally wanted to pick up the missing ones, but when he saw the prices, he saw that the ones sold were even more expensive than those in old Europe!

The price of selling old products was more expensive than new ones, which made Alex shake his head.

After visiting several overseas luxury stores, Alex lost interest and was about to go downstairs to eat, but when passing by a Chinese-style store, he couldn't help but stop.

"What kind of store is this?"

Alex asked the accompanying translator,

"It's...Su Xiu!"

The translator was a young man in his twenties. He was a little unsure when he saw domestic stores in the same area as overseas luxury goods. After all, he had never seen these before.

Seeing this Suzhou embroidery shop, Alex became interested and walked towards it.

“Welcome to Pingyang Su Embroidery Store!”

The shopping guide inside spoke in English after seeing Alex.

Hearing this English voice, Alex was obviously surprised. He had been in China for so long, and it was not like he had never met anyone who knew English, but there were too few, so he had to hire a translator to accompany him, but he didn't expect that, I unexpectedly met a shopping guide who spoke English in a shopping mall.

Nowadays, there are indeed not many people in China who can speak English, and many of them are going overseas. After learning English, they go abroad.

At Oriental Times Mall, it is absolutely impossible to find someone who can speak English and is willing to work as a shopping guide, but the probability is not much higher than winning the lottery.

In order to have some shopping guides who can speak English, Oriental Times Mall specially recruited a group of shopping guides, and then spent money to send them to New Oriental's English training classes for free.

For these shopping guides who can speak English, Oriental Times Mall offers high salaries, bonuses, and commissions, but there is only one requirement. After learning English, they must work in Oriental Times Mall for a certain period of time before they can leave.

The shopping guide at the Su embroidery shop in front of me is from Oriental Times Mall. The shopping guide has been specially trained in New Oriental English. Not to mention very proficient, he can carry out some basic communication.

"This piece of Su embroidery is embroidered on a two-legged bronze tripod that was more than 4,000 years ago. Different shades of the same color are used to combine to form this by-product!"

The shopping guide briefly introduced the characteristics of Suzhou embroidery to Alex, "This antique bronze embroidery is priced at US$249!"

When Alex looked at the painting-like thing in front of him, which was actually embroidered stitch by stitch, he was stunned for a moment.

As he went on to see the prices of different Su embroidery products, Alex couldn't help but take a breath.

"This pair of embroidery of mandarin ducks playing in water sells for US$2,500!"

"We used eight colors to embroider the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains picture, and the price is US$35,000!"

"This one is embroidered on both sides with different colors. You can see the goldfish on it, all with expressions. The price is $68,000."

"This embroidery is a complete set of Buddhist Heart Sutra embroidery. It is for viewing only and is not for sale!"

Alex looked at the embroidery of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra hanging like calligraphy and painting. Even those who are not familiar with art will be shocked.

Looking at the Su Xiu in front of him, and thinking of the overseas luxury goods he had just seen, Alex instantly felt the impact of dimensionality reduction.

After all, something that has been carefully selected by our five thousand-year-old ancestors is an industrial product that has been around for decades. Can it be compared to something that can be called luxury goods? !

When Alex walked out of the embroidery shop, he had two more embroideries in his hand.

Then he went to several other Chinese stores. After seeing Duan Inkstone Rice Paper, Longquan Ink Pad, Shu Cotton, Hui Ink and other Chinese luxury goods, Alex felt a little bad. It was his first time to see luxury goods and The difference in crafts!
