Chapter 498 Mobile Wallet
What Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng said seemed a little strange.
Whether it is a grape container or a bionic porcelain, isn’t this a new product that just hit the shelves on the first day? Who can still book?
What’s more, after paying the money, you still won’t take it away? Isn't this stupid?
But it is actually very simple to explain the whole story clearly.
At about ten o'clock in the morning on the day of Qingqing, a British couple visited the shops in Zhai Palace accompanied by an interpreter.
I immediately fell in love with the silk figures, grape utensils and bionic porcelain in the store, and I couldn’t put it down these new ethnic handicrafts.
After repeated selections, the British couple selected six large Peking Opera silk figures, four utensils and grape ornaments, and four or five pieces of bionic porcelain. The total price was approximately 1,600 yuan in foreign exchange coupons. commodity.
But how to take it away later became a problem.
The translator who accompanied them was a woman. It was not difficult for the three of them to take away the bionic porcelain and silk figures, but the four grape containers were really inconvenient to carry.
You know, this thing with the glass cover itself is equivalent to a large shoe box.
If you add outer packaging, it will be even bigger, and the key is to avoid falling and touching.
If such a precious thing accidentally falls to the ground, everything will be ruined.
Besides, the British couple only had enough money to pay for these goods.
If you spend all your money here, I'm afraid even paying for lunch will be a problem.
They couldn't continue their pleasant sightseeing plans.
So in the end, the British couple decided to buy the silk man and the bionic porcelain first.
As for the four grapes, they only paid a hundred yuan in foreign exchange coupons as a deposit.
We agreed to pay the rest when we pick up the goods tomorrow.
It should be said that it is a very smooth and normal thing for this matter to proceed so far.
Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng just need to keep these two pairs of grapes for the British couple.
But the problem is, this is a rare cloudy weekend in summer.
And the morning is the coolest time of the day, so customers come almost one after another.
Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng didn’t have much free time at all, and they kept busy.
Even if it’s lunch time, they can’t even change to eat.
I completely forgot that I should take the grapes, which the British couple had paid a deposit for, to the warehouse next door.
This situation lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon.
When the sun returned and the temperature soared to thirty-three degrees, the bionic porcelain was almost sold out, and the number of customers gradually began to decrease.
They have time to get some food to soothe their hungry stomachs.
But just when Xiao Meng was looking after the store alone and Xiao Wei went to fetch food for the two of them, a tour guide from Beijing International Travel Agency who often came and went took another group of fourteen people on a trip to Japan. The group entered the store.
Good guy!
In this group of Japanese people, there are more women than men, and most of them are Obasans in their forties. It’s quite a scene.
When they saw such interesting and unique handicrafts, it could be described as bombing the temple.
To be honest, don’t look at the ingenious details and fine workmanship that the Japanese are best at.
But in terms of the production of traditional arts and crafts, they are still far behind.
The craftsmen of the Republic have no rivals in this respect.
The lifelikeness of the straw insects in the shop and the exquisiteness and beauty of the Peking Opera silk figures are beyond the imagination of Japanese people.
Not to mention the nobility shown in the lifelike grapes and the whimsy reflected in the exquisite shapes of bionic porcelain.
In addition, the Japanese economy has been running on a high-speed track in recent years, with national income rising year by year.
Today, the average monthly salary per capita in Japan is equivalent to 10,400 yuan, making more than Americans.
So it is conceivable that among the international tourists who are not short of money in their pockets, seeing such good things, who wouldn’t want to buy some back and put them at home?
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of those Japanese wives, a few hundred RMB is actually just a day's food allowance for a family.
This little money is not enough to pay for a designer dress.
So naturally, customers from Japan started buying in groups.
Straw insects, there are ten or eight of them!
The silk figures are all taken in pairs!
To these Japanese people, everything in the store is like giving it away for free.
As long as it suits their eyes, as long as it can be picked up and carried away, they will happily buy it.
Among them, the varieties most favored by the Japanese are these bionic porcelain and container grapes that have just been put on the shelves.
You must know that Japanese art and culture was originally born in the land of China.
Their ceramic firing history is only about 500 years, and they cannot even fire at high temperatures above 1,380 degrees.
Even in art porcelain, the "Qibao Yaki" that makes them the most proud is still a recipe for cloisonné.
So as the great-grandchildren of Chinese art and civilization, the Japanese simply cannot help but be fond of and possessive of these exquisite bionic porcelain and utensils.
As a result, these dozen people snatched up the few remaining pieces of bionic porcelain in the store, and then started fighting over the grapes.
That is a generous donation that never lags behind others. It seems that if you buy it, you will make a profit, and if you don't buy it, you will lose blood.
Needless to say, don't look confused or tired.
But whether it was Xiao Wei, who was busy and had a dry mouth, or Xiao Meng, who rushed to help after returning from cooking, he was also sweating.
Or the travel agency tour guides who help this person choose, help that person choose, and finally help pick it up and carry it, all of them are happy to see it.
Not for anything else, just because of the distribution regulations formulated by Ning Weimin.
Zhaigong and any formal or informal tour guide are the closest partners, and the amount of kickbacks and commissions is clear at a glance.
This means a huge harvest for all of them.
What are you afraid of? What's the point of being tired?
The more these Japanese people spend, the more they get paid, and of course they are happy.
But just after the Japanese group went shopping, when Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng were cleaning up the shelves they had messed up, they discovered that the four utensils ordered by the British couple in the morning were actually missing two.
It turned out that in the chaos just now, the two of them actually sold the goods to the Japanese for which the British had already paid a deposit.
Look at how fatal this thing is!
When the British come tomorrow, what will they give them?
Not to mention, the first remedy that Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng thought of was to go to the girls who were selling grapes in other places in Zhai Palace.
Unexpectedly, it is common for grapes and bionic porcelain to be popular, and other places have sold out both of them.
The other girls were planning to go find them for sex.
Just like that, good things were about to turn bad, and both Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng became anxious and angry.
They knew clearly that this was their fault.
As long as the British come here tomorrow, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and they may have to damage the shop again.
So the lunch they had never had time to eat was completely wasted today, and they couldn't eat it at all.
At this point, they are counting on Ning Weimin to find ways to properly solve the problem.
They had to take the initiative to show off their cards and express their willingness to accept any degree of punishment, including deduction of their commissions.
"Don't worry, we just need two grape utensils, right? Do you remember whether it's a single bunch or a double bunch?"
"Single bunch, right? ? Okay, then I'll call the manufacturer right away and see if there are any new ones in the factory."
"Hey, why are you two still having red eyes? . Don’t worry, it shouldn’t be a big problem. Besides, it’s just an honest mistake on your part...”
Ning Weimin couldn’t help but feel pity when he looked at the two girls who looked depressed. Last time it was Ye Hemin, this time it was the British.
For some reason, these two girls are particularly prone to troubles that offend customers.
"By the way, are there any statistics on the store's turnover now?"
Seeing that the two girls' moods were not improving, Ning Weimin really didn't know how to persuade them.
I asked casually, hoping to divert my attention.
Unexpectedly, this topic really cheered up the two girls, and the positive news blurted out.
"I did the statistics half an hour ago, Manager Ning, you can't even imagine how good the business is! Fifteen thousand and five!"
"Yes, so far, today's The turnover not only broke the daily sales record of our store, but was more than five times that of the past!”
“So much!”
Ning Weimin was indeed a little shocked, even though he knew it. Grapes and bionic porcelain have been sold out, accounting for tens of thousands of dollars. But I didn't expect that it would also drive the sales of other products to nearly double.
According to the normal situation in the past, in fact, the sales on Sunday did not exceed 3,000, and the second-hand goods bought by Peking Opera Silk Man and Taobao were the main part of the daily turnover.
This means that there is undoubtedly room for price increases for materials and bionic porcelain!
How high should the next step be?
Two percent, 30 percent, or 50 percent?
And you must know that it is 1983!
It was an era when a household worth 10,000 yuan was still rare!
With his extremely low purchase and operating costs, if the output can keep up, the price will be adjusted again.
Then this store of only thirty square meters has been making huge profits for a long time.
It is possible to create a net profit of more than 10,000 yuan for him in one day, or even more.
This is really a miracle!
Although he is the only person in the capital who masters these crafts.
Although the texture and grade of these crafts are indeed high-end.
Although the Japanese are recognized as mobile wallets in this era, the probability that they will appear here will be more and more in the future, bursting out with incredible spending power...
In short, Although there were many reasons for Ning Weimin to believe the scene he imagined, he still couldn't believe it.
Ten thousand a day is more than three million in a year.
He is not even sure whether his newly opened restaurant, No. 87 Tiantan North Road, can create such profits?
He can even clamor that as long as the Japanese economic bubble does not burst, by selling cutlery and bionic porcelain in this store, he will be able to remain the richest man in the Republic and the king of cash at the same time!
Ten years later, when the Japanese economic bubble burst, he had already made money, and no one could surpass him!
However, the shock was a shock, and Ning Weimin's head was still clear.
He immediately thought of the trouble that would come from this.
You know, the tour guide who brought a Japanese group shopping today.
According to the commission ratio of 10%, this vote will result in a kickback of six to seven hundred yuan.
Taking this one group is almost as good as taking ten groups under normal circumstances.
Obviously, how to balance the huge interests has become a new problem.
So he can’t be happy too early!
We must quickly get along with each other to solve the hidden dangers.
Because it is so easy to sell grapes and bionic porcelain, but the output is not very sufficient.
Considering that the tour guides working with him worked hard to obtain kickbacks in order to obtain and realize personal interests, it has become an open fact.
He can definitely deduce that these limited commodities will soon become something that everyone covets among tour guides, and they will inevitably compete with each other for a share.
From an economic point of view and from a humanistic point of view, this is a fact that is reasonable and understandable.
So how should he balance this contradiction then?
How can we safeguard the interests of the majority of people and solve it in a relatively appropriate way?
If you are not careful, you may offend many people...
Even the employees of their Zhai Palace may be affected by this.
Although he originally implemented a commission distribution system within the Zhai Palace in order to prevent the gap between the salary and the salary of the position from being too large.
But in order to improve personal motivation, some additional reward policies will be given to sales champions.
Obviously, nowadays, it is easier to create sales for grape utensils and bionic porcelain than any other handicraft.
It is inevitable that the positions in Zhai Palace's internal stores will arouse envy, jealousy and competition among the girls.
It is probably unrealistic to expect these little girls to understand the principle of "what I gain is my fortune, and what I lose is my life" and consciously maintain the existing harmonious working atmosphere in Zhai Palace.
And making such quick money is also a high-intensity job. No one can stand it every day...
Ning Weimin was thinking with his brows furrowed suddenly, when the storefront of the internal store was opened from the outside again.
As a joking voice rang out, a person who should never be here walked in.
"Manager Ning, Manager Ning, I have found you. As expected, you are here, but it is so uninteresting. I only found out today that you like to eat alone so much, and you have so many secret weapons hidden here. !”
Ning Weimin’s eyes suddenly widened, somewhat unexpectedly.
Because the visitor is an acquaintance from the Temple of Heaven Park - Old Liu.
Director Liu is also the main person in charge of attraction tickets and canteens.
"Hey, Director Liu, you really confused me! What secret weapon do I have? Why am I eating alone? Is there something wrong with the bill our cafe gave you? Is this month’s profit less than last month? You should know me, I’m not...”
“Hey, no, I’m not here to share the accounts of your coffee shop. "
Director Liu chuckled, "I'm already standing here, are you still playing tricks on me? Young man, you are not kind..."
Looking at Liu The director scanned the shelves bit by bit, then his eyes lit up, and he walked a few steps to the only two grapes in the container, and happily picked them up to look at them.
"Director Liu, why are you here?" Ning Weimin understood.
"Hey, if you like it, I'll give you one later. But you can't take this away. I've already collected a deposit, so it has to be taken away tomorrow. We're still short of two, I still have to find a way to get it together with others..."
"Well, since I want to get it together, can you get me another three hundred?" Director Liu put down the feeder. But speaking frankly is even more surprising.
"No, what do you mean? Three hundred? No, no, I can't get it..."
"Are you bored? Are you just hiding here to make a fortune?" If I hadn't gone to chat with Mr. He from Qingyuntang today, I wouldn't have known that you were so capable of setting up such a prosperous handicraft shop in your own little land, just to make foreign money. Just make a lot of money.”
The Qingyuntang that Director Liu mentioned was the antique shop in Liulichang. Due to the renovation project of Liulichang, foreigners were temporarily operating here.
Lao He is the manager of Qingyuntang. As an insider, he often visits Ning Weimin's internal store.
As time passed, I picked up two small leaks from Ning Weimin's fingers.
After getting two gadgets that caught Ning Weimin's attention, he naturally knew the situation here well.
After hearing this, Ning Weimin knew that Lao He was probably here again today, and the internal store was doing well, which probably made him very jealous.
Obviously this was right for Jing'er, Lao He was complaining to Director Liu.
Director Liu smashed his mouth and said, half jokingly and half seriously, "I don't care, we have to meet and share half. Anyway, the turnover of our park's store cannot increase, and the superiors asked me to find a way , I can only come to you. Do you want us to make a fortune together, do you want me to be nice to everyone, or do you want me to close your shop and no one else to do it?”
“Hey? , I can tell you, don’t think that just because you have paid the rent and set up that joint venture restaurant with us, you can just mess around in the Zhai Palace. If you don’t have the sense to stand by and watch, I won’t. Let you open this store. We have an agreement. Your company will rent this place as a showroom, not for commercial purposes..."
This somewhat unreasonable threat made Ning Weimin laugh. .
Because of such bold words, of course they are not what Director Liu really thinks.
"I understand now why you came to me. You need to improve the business performance of our park, right? There is no problem in cooperation. But I have to tell you the truth. I can't return three hundred feeders at the same time." I really can’t get it out. To be honest, this thing is very laborious to produce and the output is not that high..."
