"Weiyang, have you checked this batch of goods?"
Chen Yang looked at the storefront, which had been renovated according to the model of the dream recycled radio store, on the most conspicuous first-floor counter of the Qin Huai State-run Department Store building.
He stopped Zhang Weiyang, who was busy moving goods with Lei Baoguo and his few comrades. For the past few days, he had been busy with the store's renovation and publicity for its opening.
The acquisition of old radios, contacting factory technicians, and repairs were all things he had delegated to Zhang Weiyang.
"Brother, don't you trust me?"
"This batch of goods has been repeatedly inspected by me. The power cord, antenna, speaker, and switch, every machine has been checked at least twice."
"I specifically invited quality inspectors from the radio factory to inspect the repaired equipment. Anything substandard was sent back for repair."
"We paid wages, so people should do a good job to earn their money."
Zhang Weiyang patted the radios placed on the counter and said confidently.
"Good, with your words, I feel much relieved."
"This is our first store in Jinling, and even the entire Jiangsu Province. We must make a name for ourselves."
"If we can capture the Jiangsu market in the first half of this year, we will strive to capture Shanghai and Zhejiang provinces in the second half."
"After I finish my college entrance examination, I will definitely come back to set up a production line. We'll start with the simplest things, making electric fans. Then, in the hot summer, if we display these electric fans in our radio stores, who knows how many people will want to buy them."
"You should also speed up. When opening branches, pay more attention to the training I mentioned. I will also discuss it with Director Zhao in detail in a few days. There are many knowledgeable and cultured people among the educated youths returning to the city now."
"And the surplus labor from the surrounding villages. These are all our best workers. We must train their skills well before we set up the production line."
Chen Yang had already discussed the factory establishment with Zhang Weiyang. Zhang Weiyang was his partner, and Chen Yang would definitely inform him of every step of the development plan.
As for the college entrance examination, Chen Yang had also mentioned it to Zhang Weiyang these past few days.
Fortunately, Lei Baoguo's comrades had come to help Zhang Weiyang.
Lei Baoguo had followed Zhang Weiyang to cover most of the market in Wan Province. He was very familiar with the renovation and opening of branches.
If you asked him to figure out how to open a store on his own, it would be a bit difficult for him. But if he were to replicate these models, he wasn't truly stupid, so there would be no problem.
"Sister Kaiyun, have you remembered everything I told you these days? If there's anything you don't understand, tell me."
Chen Yang glanced at Qin Kaiyun, who was carefully observing the second-hand radios displayed on the counter. He cared for his cousin quite a bit.
She had encountered a scumbag husband and was almost sold to human traffickers, but fortunately, they ran into her and rescued her. Her own younger brother had been injured and was bedridden.
Qin Kaiyun desperately needed to earn money to support her family, her daughter, and to compensate her brother.
"Yangzi, I understand."
"Be enthusiastic, generous, and polite to others."
"I've memorized the prices of low-end, mid-range, and high-end machines. Then, I promise a one-year warranty. For every machine sold, we will issue a warranty card and stamp it."
Qin Kaiyun looked at so many radios, it felt like a dream.
When she was in the countryside, she had seen the radio in the village secretary's house. It was said to be worth dozens of yuan. The secretary had asked someone for industrial coupons and had to queue up several times at the city's department store to buy it.
When the secretary played the radio, everyone in the village would go to his house to listen. She couldn't even squeeze into the yard, let alone see what the radio that was making the sound looked like inside.
But now, the radios that the secretary cherished so much were lined up in front of her like cabbage.
Qin Kaiyun finally understood that her cousin was truly capable and genuinely wanted to help her.
For every machine sold between thirty and fifty-one, she got a one-yuan commission. For machines between fifty and seventy-one, she got a one-yuan-fifty commission. For machines above seventy, she got a two-yuan commission.
This was like giving her money! Sud an Fiction Network.
Just the commission of one yuan for selling a radio, she worked tirelessly for a week and earned enough work points to barely equal one yuan.
Although she didn't know how popular the business would be when the store opened due to Chen Yang's promotion, even if she could only sell one radio a day, it would be hundreds of yuan for her in a year.
How could Qin Kaiyun not be grateful to Chen Yang!
"Good, Sister Kaiyun, it's up to you then."
"Shugen, help out and be busy here too. When this store is done, go out with Weiyang. Didn't you want to make money with me? Now it depends on your perceptiveness."
"If you don't do a good job, don't blame me for sending you back home to farm."
Chen Yang looked at his younger cousin Zhang Shugen, who was standing nearby. This kid, so small, thought only about making money to get married every day.
Chen Yang considered that he would have to go back to study for the college entrance examination, so it would be good to let Zhang Weiyang teach him some business skills.
If this kid had talent, he could help him with some things in the future.
Qin Kaiyun was a woman, and it would be too much for her to travel all over the country for business. Not to mention her body couldn't handle it, and there would be no one to take care of Xiao Taozi.
Zhang Shugen didn't have such concerns. Anyway, this kid only thought about making money to get married, so let him suffer a little and learn something to grow up, so he wouldn't be thinking about women all the time.
"Brother, that won't happen. I will definitely learn well."
"I'm waiting to earn money to get married."
Zhang Shugen scratched his head, his face full of excitement. He was finally going to see the world with his cousin.
"Weiyang, it's almost set up. Let's go downstairs and hang banners, and prepare firecrackers to attract customers."
"Baoguo, you and the brothers follow us to maintain order. Shugen, you be smart. Don't write any wrong characters when issuing invoices later."
Chen Yang called out, and with Zhang Weiyang and Lei Baoguo, he left the department store building and prepared to go outside.
With the experience from the last time in Feishi, Chen Yang was a natural. This time, he not only organized group purchase promotions but also offered activities like buying a radio and getting a free tea egg or a pancake.
For the common people who were going to the market, these were novelties.
This could also be considered Chen Yang paying for his cousins, Qin Yousheng and Qin Youshui, to practice their skills in advance.
After all, they were ordinary farmers before this, and they didn't know how to do business.
Of course, it was also a promotion for them. Let people taste the tea eggs and pancakes. In the future, when Qin Yousheng and Qin Youshui set up stalls, they might encounter old customers who had tasted their tea eggs and pancakes.
