National Tide 1980.

Chapter 498 Mobile Wallet
The words of Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng sounded a bit strange.

Regardless of the grape container or the bionic porcelain, isn't this a new product that just hit the shelves on the first day?Who can still book?
Not to mention paying the money and not taking it away?Isn't this stupid?

But in fact, it is very simple to explain the whole story of this matter clearly.

At about ten o'clock in the morning of Ganqing, a British couple visited the shop of Zhai Palace accompanied by an interpreter.

I immediately fell in love with the silk figurines, grape utensils and bionic porcelain in the store, and I couldn't put it down for these new ethnic handicrafts.

After repeated selection, the British couple selected six large-sized Peking Opera silk figurines, four tableware grape decorations, and four or five pieces of bionic porcelain, with a total price of about [-] yuan in foreign exchange certificates.

But then how to take it away became a problem.

The interpreter who accompanied them was a woman. It was not difficult for the three of them to take away the bionic porcelain and silk figurines, but the four containers of grapes were really inconvenient to carry.

You know, the volume of this thing with a glass cover is equivalent to a large shoe box.

If you add the outer packaging, it will be even bigger, and the key is to be afraid of falling and touching.

If such a precious thing accidentally falls on the ground, it will be all over.

Besides, the British couple had almost enough money to pay for these goods.

If I spend all my money here, I'm afraid even paying for lunch will be a problem.

They can't continue their pleasant tour plan.

So in the end, the British couple decided to buy silk figurines and bionic porcelain first.

As for the four feeder grapes, they just paid one hundred yuan foreign exchange certificates as a deposit.

It is agreed to wait until tomorrow to pick up the goods, and then pay the rest.

It should be said that it is a very smooth and normal thing that this matter has progressed to this point.

Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng only need to keep these two pairs of feeder grapes for the British couple.

But the problem is, it's a rare cloudy weekend in summer.

And the morning is the coolest time of the day, so the guests come almost one after another.

Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng didn't have any free time at all, they were always busy walking around.

Even if it's lunch time, they can't even change to eat.

They completely forgot that they should send the grapes that the British couple paid a deposit to the warehouse next door.

This continued until one o'clock in the afternoon.

When the sun reappeared and the temperature soared to 33 degrees, the bionic porcelain was almost sold out, and the number of customers gradually began to decrease.

Only then did they have time to get something to eat and soothe their hungry stomachs.

But just when Xiaomeng was looking after the store by himself and Xiaowei went to cook for the two of them, a frequent tour guide from Beijing International Travel Agency brought a 14-member Japanese tour group into the store.

Good guy!
In this group of Japanese, there are more women than men, and most of them are Obasan in their 40s, which is quite lively.

When they saw such interesting and unique handicrafts, they could be described as bombing the temple.

To be honest, don't look at the details and ingenuity that the Japanese are best at, fine workmanship.

But in terms of traditional arts and crafts production, they are still far behind.

In this regard, the craftsmen and craftsmen of the Republic have no rivals.

The lifelikeness of the straw-woven insects in the light shop, and the exquisiteness and beauty of the Peking opera silk figurines are beyond the imagination of the Japanese.

Not to mention the noble atmosphere exuded by the lifelike grapes in the feeder, and the whimsy reflected in the exquisite shape of the bionic porcelain.

In addition, the Japanese economy has been running on a high-speed track in recent years, and the national income has been increasing year by year.

Today, the average monthly wage in Japan is equivalent to RMB 400, which is more than Americans.

So it is conceivable that the international tourists who are not short of money in their pockets, seeing such good things, who would not want to buy some back and put them at home?

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of those Japanese wives, a few hundred yuan is actually just a family's food for a day.

This amount of money is not enough to pay for a designer dress.

So naturally, customers from Dongyang also had a group of explosive purchases.

Straw weaving insects, that's ten or eight!

Silk figurines are also taken in pairs!
Everything in the store, to these Japanese, is like giving away for nothing.

As long as they fit the eyes, as long as they can be moved and taken away, they will happily buy them all.

Among them, the varieties most favored by these Japanese are these bionic porcelain and feeder grapes that have just been put on the shelves.

You must know that Japanese art and culture were originally born out of the land of China.

Their ceramic firing history is only about 380 years old, and they cannot even be fired at a high temperature of more than [-] degrees.

Even the "Seven Treasures Burn" that makes them most complacent in art porcelain still steals the recipe of cloisonne.

Therefore, as the great-grandchildren of Chinese artistic civilization, the Japanese simply cannot help feeling fond of and possessive of these exquisite bionic porcelain and material utensils.

As a result, these dozen or so people actually snatched up the few pieces of bionic porcelain left in the store, and then competed for grapes for feeders.

That is the generosity that would never be left behind, as if if you buy it, you will make money, and if you don't buy it, you will lose blood.

Needless to say, don't look chaotic, don't look tired.

But whether it was Xiao Wei who was busy with dry mouth or tongue, or Xiao Meng who hurried to help after returning from cooking, the same sweaty Xiao Meng.

Or help this choose, help that choose, and finally help to pick up, help the travel agency tour guide, all of them are happy to see this.

Not for anything else, just because it is under the distribution regulations formulated by Ning Weimin.

Zhaigong and any official or informal tour guide are the closest partners, and the rebates and commissions are all clear at a glance.

This meant a huge harvest for them all.

What are you afraid of?What's the point of being tired?
The more these Japanese spend, the more they get paid, and of course they are happy.

But it so happened that after the Japanese group went shopping, Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng found that two of the four feeders ordered by the British couple in the morning were missing when they cleaned up the messy shelves.

It turned out that in the chaos just now, the two of them actually sold the goods that the British had paid a deposit to the Japanese in such a muddled manner.

Look at this thing, how terrible it is!

When the Englishman comes tomorrow, what will he give to others!
Needless to say, the first remedy that Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng thought of was to find other girls in the Zhai Palace who were also selling grapes in feeders.

Unexpectedly, the popularity of feeder grapes and bionic porcelain is a common phenomenon, and other places have also sold out of both.

The other girls are planning to get away and find them to sell goods.

Just like that, when good things were about to turn bad, both Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng got anxious and got angry.

They were as clear as a mirror in their hearts, and it was their fault in this matter.

As long as the British recruit them tomorrow, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and may cause trouble to the store.

So the lunch they hadn't had time to eat was completely wasted this day, and they couldn't swallow it at all.

Now that things have happened, they are counting on Ning Weimin to find ways to properly solve the problem.

You have to take the initiative to show your cards and express your willingness to accept any degree of punishment, including deducting their commission.

"Don't worry, there are only two feeder grape decorations missing, right? Are they single-bunch or double-bunch, do you remember?"

"Single string, right? Okay, then I'll call the manufacturer right away to see if there are any new ones in the factory."

"Hey, why are your eyes still red? It's not such a serious crime. Don't worry, the problem shouldn't be a big deal. Besides, it's just your unintentional fault..."

Ning Weimin looked at the two frustrated girls, and couldn't help feeling pity in his heart.

Last time it was Ye Hemin, this time it was British.

The two girls don't know what's wrong, and they are particularly prone to troublesome things that offend customers.

"By the way, is there any statistics on the turnover of the store?"

Seeing that the mood of the two girls did not improve, Ning Weimin really didn't know how to persuade them.

He asked a question by the way, hoping to divert his attention.

Unexpectedly, this topic really lifted the spirits of the two girls, and they blurted out positive news.

"I counted it half an hour ago, Manager Ning, I'm afraid you can't imagine how good the business is! Fifteen thousand five thousand!"

"Yes, so far, today's turnover has not only broken the record of our store's daily turnover, but also more than five times that of the past!"

"so much!"

Ning Weimin was indeed a little shocked, even though he knew that the feeder grapes and bionic porcelain had been sold out, and this part accounted for tens of thousands of yuan.But I didn't expect that it would almost double the sales of other products.

According to the normal situation in the past, in fact, the sales on Sundays did not exceed [-], and the second-hand goods exchanged for Peking Opera silk figurines and Taobao were the main part of the daily turnover.

This is equivalent to saying that there is undoubtedly room for price increases for feeders and bionic porcelain!

How much should the next step be raised?
Twenty percent, thirty percent, or fifty percent?

And you must know that it is 1983!

A million-dollar household is still rare in the era!

With his extremely low purchase cost and operating cost, if the output can keep up, the price will be adjusted again.

Then this shop with only [-] square meters has made huge profits for a long time.

It is possible to create more than 1 net profits for him in one day, or even more.

It really is a miracle!
Although he is the only person in the capital who has mastered 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, there will be more and more probabilities of them appearing here in the future, bursting out with incredible spending power...

In short, even though there were many reasons for Ning Weimin to believe in the scene imagined in his mind, he still couldn't believe it.

300 a day, more than [-] million a year.

He wasn't even sure whether his newly opened restaurant - No. 87 Tiantan North Road could generate such a profit?

He can even clamor that as long as the Japanese economic bubble does not burst, he will be able to sit firmly in the position of the richest man in the republic and the king of cash at the same time by relying on the sales of utensils and bionic porcelain in this store!

And ten years later, when the Japanese economic bubble burst, he would have made a lot of money, and no one could surpass him!
But the shock was the shock, Ning Weimin's head was still clear.

He immediately thought of the trouble that would arise from this.

You know, today's tour guide who brought a Japanese group to shop.

According to the [-]% commission rate, this vote will take away six or seven hundred yuan in rebates.

Leading this one regiment is almost as good as leading ten regiments 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 the solution to the hidden danger.

Because since it is so easy to sell feeder grapes and bionic porcelain, the output is still not very sufficient.

Then it has become an open fact that the tour guides of the travel agency he cooperates with strive for kickbacks in order to obtain and realize personal interests.

He can fully infer that these limited commodities will soon become things that all the tour guides yearn for and will inevitably compete with each other for their share.

From the perspective of economics and human nature, this is a fact that is reasonable and understandable.

Then how will he balance this contradiction?
How can we protect the interests of the majority and solve it in a relatively proper way?

One carelessness, I'm afraid it will offend many people...

Even the employees of their fasting palace may be affected badly by this.

Although at the beginning, in order to prevent the gap between oil and water in the post being too large, he mainly implemented a commission distribution system within the fasting palace.

However, in order to improve personal enthusiasm, some additional reward policies will be given to sales champions.

Obviously, nowadays, it is far easier to create sales for grape feeders and bionic porcelain than any other handicrafts.

It is inevitable that the position of the store in the fasting palace will cause the girls to envy each other and compete with each other.

It would be unrealistic to expect these little girls to understand the truth of "I am lucky if I win, but my life is lost" and consciously maintaining the existing harmonious working atmosphere in the Zhai Palace is inconvenient.

And earning such quick money is also a high-intensity job, every day like this, no one can stand it...

Ning Weimin was frowning suddenly and thinking, when the storefront of the inner store was pulled away from the outside again.

As a mocking voice sounded, a person who should never be here walked in.

"Manager Ning, Manager Ning, I found you. You are really here, but it's too embarrassing. I just found out today that you like to eat alone so much, and you hide so many secret weapons here!"

Ning Weimin's eyes suddenly widened, quite unexpectedly.

Because the person who came was an acquaintance in the Temple of Heaven Park——Da Lao Liu.

He is also the main person in charge of the attractions tickets and canteens - Director Liu.

"Hey, Director Liu, you really confused me! What secret weapon do I have here? What am I eating alone again? Is there something wrong with the account that our coffee shop paid you? This month's profit ratio Less last month? You should know me, I'm not..."

"Hey, no, no, I didn't come to you about splitting the bill in your coffee shop."

Director Liu chuckled, "I'm already standing here, and you're still playing tricks on me? Young man, you're not kind, you..."

Seeing Director Liu scan the shelves little by little, then his eyes lit up, and he walked to the only two remaining grapes in a few steps, 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 from someone else, and I have to let someone take it away tomorrow. We still need two, and I have to figure out a way I'll get it together with others..."

"Well, since you want to make it together, why don't you make another three hundred for me?" Director Liu put down the feeder, but it was even more astonishing to say bluntly.

"No, what do you mean? Three hundred? No, no, I can't get it..."

"It's boring, right? You're just hiding here to make a fortune? If I hadn't gone to chat with Lao He in Qingyun Hall today, I wouldn't have known that you kid is so capable, and you made a lot of money in your acre of land. Such a thriving handicraft store. It only makes foreign money. It has been making a lot of money."

The Qingyuntang that Director Liu mentioned is the antique shop of Liulichang, because of the renovation project of Liulichang, it is an outsider who temporarily operates here.

And Lao He is the manager of Qingyuntang. As a person in the business, he often visits Ning Weimin's internal store.

After a long time, Ning Weimin even picked up small leaks from between Ning Weimin's fingers twice.

After getting two small gadgets for Ning Weimin to drill holes in, he naturally knows the situation here like the back of his hand.

Hearing this, Ning Weimin knew that Lao He probably came here again today, and the business in the internal store was booming, which probably made him very jealous.

Obviously this is right. Jing Er, Lao He was complaining to Director Liu.

Director Liu smacked his mouth, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I don't care, we have to meet and share half. Anyway, the sales of our park's store can't increase, and the higher-ups asked me to find a way, so I can only find You come here. Do you want everyone to make a fortune together, hello and I love everyone, or wait until I close your shop, and we all don’t care about anyone at all?"

"Hey, let me tell you, don't think that you have paid the rent and set up the joint venture restaurant with us, so you can do whatever you want in the fasting palace. One yard counts for one yard. If you are not mean enough, stand by and watch, I will You will not be allowed to open this store. We have an agreement, and your company rents this place as an exhibition hall, not for commercial purposes..."

But such an unreasonable threat made Ning Weimin laugh instead.

Because such rhetoric, of course, is not what Director Liu is thinking.

"It's only now that I understand why you came to me. You need to improve the business performance of our park, don't you? There is no problem with cooperation. But I have to tell you the truth. I really can't get it out. To tell you the truth, this thing is very laborious to produce, and the output is not that high..."
