Chapter 45 A perfect match
Lu Weibin learned about the strawberry greenhouse.
Then I drove the tricycle back and took the four baskets of jasmine strawberries back to the packaging yard.
As soon as I came back, I saw Xiao Li, who was in charge of delivery, driving an electric tricycle back.
"Xiao Li, you came just in time to deliver the packaged strawberries to the shop on Erma Road."
"Oh, okay. Let me take a breath first. I just took cans from the cannery to various supermarkets in the city."
Lu Weibin handed him a cigarette, but Xiao Li, who was usually a heavy smoker, felt like a rattle in his head: "I quit!"
"Quited? It's rare!"
"Stop talking, I took my dad to the hospital for a checkup the day before yesterday. He has terminal lung cancer!" Xiao Li's face was full of fear and worry.
"Lung cancer in the late stage? Gulu..." Lu Weibin also had sweaty palms because Jiang Miao had advised him not to smoke, otherwise he would easily get lung cancer. When he thought of the children and wives who were waiting for their babies at home, he was also thinking about what to do. Don't quit smoking.
Xiao Li rested for a while, then pulled the trolley to the temporary cold storage and moved away the more than 300 boxes of strawberries in stock.
After signing for confirmation from the warehouse manager, he pulled the things back to the tricycle.
"Manager Lu? Are you still there?"
"Huh? I was distracted just now."
Lu Weibin quickly helped Xiao Li move with him.
"Manager Lu, thank you."
"No, but I also plan to quit smoking. How about we supervise each other in the future?"
Xiao Li glanced at Lu Weibin and found that his eyes were very serious, so he nodded: "Okay."
After a while, three hundred boxes of strawberries were loaded onto a tricycle, and Xiao Li drove away on the tricycle.
Almost an hour later.
Driving a tricycle, Xiao Li finally stood out from the crowd of electric vehicles on Second Road and squeezed into the door of a store.
The signboard of the store hangs: Hailufeng Company Direct-operated Store.
There are two sub-signs on both sides, which read: Eel Restaurant and Strawberry Garden.
He parked the tricycle at the entrance of the strawberry garden, put on the handbrake, and came to the front desk with the manifest: "Meiya, here is the manifest, sign your name."
"Wait a minute." Meiya took the cargo list, then went to the back of the tricycle and counted the big boxes. There were 9 big boxes in total. She made sure that the seals were all intact before signing.
She and Xiao Li moved two boxes together.
Suddenly a customer wanted to pay, so she could only rush to the cashier.
The guest in front of him was a long-haired young woman with a delicate face, holding a little girl in her arms.
"Can this welfare coupon be used here?"
Meiya nodded: "Okay."
"The total of 5 boxes is 58 yuan, and the welfare coupon is 10 yuan off. You can give 48."
The payment notification sounded immediately.
Ding dong! 48 yuan arrived!
“Thank you for your patronage, I’ll pack it for you!”
By the time Meiya finished her work, Xiao Li had already moved.
Xiao Li looked at his phone and found that it was already past 11:40, so he took a selfie at the door of the store and sent it to the attendance group of the attendance department via WeChat.
Then he parked his tricycle and went directly to the eel restaurant to order an eel rice set meal.
Since he is a company employee, he can pay first at the eel rice restaurant and reimburse the finance department at the end of the month. This is considered an off-site catering subsidy, but it is only limited to the company's restaurants. If he eats off-site meals in non-company restaurants, he can only reimburse 15 yuan per meal. money.
Moreover, when eating in the company's restaurant, you can only dine in, you can't take it away, and you can't waste it. However, the advantage is that you can eat as much as you want. No matter how much you eat in a meal, the finance department will reimburse you.
Xiao Li came to the staff-only room on the second floor.
After a while, a large box of eel rice arrived.
Next to him are the warehouse keeper and shopping guide from Hailu Fengjin Store, both of whom are also eating here.
Xiao Li was not very familiar with them, so he nodded and immersed himself in the meal.
The slightly grilled kabayaki eel is topped with a secret sauce and garnished with a pinch of green onion. At the bottom is plump and fragrant Wuchang rice, as well as a plate of boiled vegetables made of snow peas, celery and spinach, plus a Bowl of winter melon and pork ribs soup.
The set meal costs 30 yuan per serving. The price is relatively high in Shanmei City, but compared to Japanese restaurants, it is relatively low. Moreover, it is in a commercial street like Erma Road and an Internet celebrity street. An eel rice set meal costs 30 yuan, which is a good value for money.
The salesperson at the gold store at the next table said helplessly while eating: "Although this eel rice is delicious, it's easy to get tired of it if you eat it every day!"
"It would be good to eat some." The warehouse manager picked up the winter melon and pork ribs soup and took a sip.
Xiao Li stopped his chopsticks, looked at the two of them with a smile, and told a gossip about the company: "You guys want to eat other dishes, so you may have to wait for a while. The company cafeteria is trying to make barbecued pork and beggar's chicken. I I’ve been going to the canteen frequently for a few days to try out the food, and I guess I’ll arrange for the eel restaurant to make barbecued pork rice and beggar’s chicken.”
"Is that so? That's great." The shopping guide suddenly smiled like a flower.
After a while, Meiya also came up to eat.
At this time, the Eel Restaurant and Strawberry Garden became very busy.
Because Noon and evening are the peak periods for passenger traffic on Erma Road, not only locals come to spend money, but many foreign tourists also come often to check in.
Several tourists who came from Yangcheng seemed to have come here after watching videos on the Internet.
"Is there a place?"
“There is still room on the second floor.”
The female tourist carrying the handbag turned her head: "Husband, you go to the second floor to order food. I want to buy some strawberries to try."
"Okay! Hurry up."
The female tourist walked straight through the side door from the lobby on the first floor of the Eel Restaurant and arrived at the Strawberry Garden. The two stores are actually connected.
The furnishings in the Strawberry Garden are very simple, just two rows of air-conditioning cabinets, a few refrigerators and a cashier.
The air cooler is filled with boxes of strawberries.
“Can I try it?”
Xiaojing, who was filling in for Meiya, took out a box of strawberries: "Okay, these are vanilla strawberries."
While you're at it, wash it and cut it into four pieces.
At this time, several other guests also came over.
"Your store only sells strawberries?"
Xiaojing smiled and replied: "These are strawberries from our company's own farm. Let's try them."
I inserted a piece of vanilla strawberry with a toothpick. The female tourist smelled the rich aroma before eating it, and then took a bite: "It's so sweet! It's fragrant and sweet, and it really has a bit of vanilla flavor."
At this time, Xiaojing has already cut two other varieties of strawberries: "This is cheese strawberry, and this is jasmine strawberry. Everyone can try it."
"Can it be cheaper?"
Xiaojing could only smile and shake her head: "Sorry, the price is set by the company. This is a promotion. You can take a look."
"Twenty minus one hundred?"
“I have a welfare coupon from the eel restaurant next door, can it be deducted?”
"Okay."
"Can the welfare coupons and discount activities be combined?"
"Okay."
A customer quickly picked 10 boxes of strawberries: "Check out!"
"Wait a moment." Xiaojing hurriedly checked out, accepted the welfare coupons, typed the bill, and packed the strawberries.
"Thank you for your patronage. Since you spend over 100 yuan, I will give you a coupon for Eel Restaurant, which can be used to deduct ten yuan from Eel Restaurant."
Through this method of sending welfare coupons to each other, customers who buy strawberries at Strawberry Garden will go to Eel Restaurant to eat; guests who eat at Eel Restaurant will go to Strawberry Garden to buy strawberries.
Being greedy for petty gains is a common characteristic of most people.
This is also one of the tips the marketing planning office gives to physical stores.
In the marketing process, if you do not give coupons for your own store's products, but give coupons for another store's products, and the products of the two stores are different, customers may spend again for that small discount.
In this way, the direct-operated store has only been open for a week, and its daily turnover has reached 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
