Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1041 Are you just going to take advantage of me? (For Wenrunruyu+)

After the initial tension and chaos of the first day subsided, and some adjustments were made to the personnel, everyone still underestimated the enthusiasm of the people in this era. On the second day, the number of visitors reached 76,000, and on the third day, it approached 100,000.

Moreover, starting from the fourth day, special purchasing vehicles from several neighboring cities will be launched, which will further increase the number of consumers.

"The original plan was too conservative." Xiao Wei and the others were talking in the tent. "It seems we need to adjust it. We'll add some shelves on both sides and create new stalls for best-selling items to divert customers. You can discuss how many to add. We have enough space; we can use this side and also take up some space for parking."

Commander Hou said, "It seems adding more stalls is necessary. I really didn't expect this. Are we selling them too cheaply?"

Manager Zhang laughed and said, "The main problem is that we haven't had this model before, and the herd mentality of ordinary people is quite strong. Let's add more stalls, but not like Xiaowei suggested. Move the stalls next to the best-selling items outwards and extend the length of the best-selling items' stalls, otherwise it won't be very effective."

Xiao Wei asked Commander Hou, "Is there anything wrong?"

Commander Hou said, "No problem, this will be quick. You tell someone to prepare the goods, I'll arrange for people to handle it. Let me see, maybe we can add another row over here and bring the high-end goods over here."

Director Liu said, "I think this is a good idea. I was originally not too keen on displaying high-end goods together with other goods."

Xiao Wei said, "Back then, we thought the space was big enough, and we could arrange everything however we wanted. Who knew this person would go crazy? Okay, hurry up and get it done. It'll be tough, but make sure it's finished tonight. Are your merchandise items all okay?"

Director Liu flipped through his notes: "No problem for now. The follow-up arrangements have been made, and we're also looking for alternatives." It's crucial to have readily available alternatives for best-selling items to prevent stockouts. Having backup plans is a very important topic in the retail industry.

Fruits and vegetables need to be stored in a specially prepared heated warehouse at night and then displayed in the morning. It's very troublesome because the temperature can't be too high or too low. If it's too high, they'll rot; if it's too low, they'll freeze. They also need to be placed in a special insulated box covered with a quilt when they're put on the stall. So this stall has the most tedious tasks and the most manpower.

After having dinner and rested for a while, everyone got busy. Commander Hou came out of the tent to call for people to set up additional stalls. Fortunately, the original supplies from the six-tenths of the unit were sufficient.

By the time the stall was set up, the positions were rearranged, and the goods were moved and neatly arranged, it was already midnight. The northwest wind howled and whipped everything around it, and the temperature had dropped below minus forty. Even the lights felt cold.

After the delivery truck left, the patrolmen began their routine patrol of the entire area, and the soldiers began to prepare for their rest. Only then did Xiaowei drive home.

Chen Hui and Liang Gao went to Kyoto. Yesterday, they received a notice that the three plots of land had been approved, and they now have a place to live.

Chen Hui represented the company at the signing ceremony.

Luckily, Lao Liang had just finished the paperwork for the foreign company, and through personal connections, he managed to get all the business and tax procedures changed quickly and efficiently. Otherwise, the contract wouldn't have been signed and we would have had to wait until next year, by which time things might have changed.

Of the three plots, the one in Haidian was slightly more expensive, but thanks to the development zone's tax and fee reduction policies, and the absence of the various miscellaneous taxes and fees of later generations, it wasn't actually that much more expensive.

The three plots of land, totaling 410 mu (approximately 220 million acres), are worth over 120 million yuan and enjoy various policies for foreign investment.

Actually, the country is still exploring things out at this stage. Many things are tentative and there are no hard and fast rules. Everything is open to discussion.

Xiao Wei got home close to 1 a.m., the coldest time of day.

Xiao Hong was still awake, half asleep, leaning against the bed flipping through a book, not knowing whether she was actually reading or not.

"Why did you take so long to come back?" Xiao Hong lay down to one side and buried her head in the blanket wrapped in a ball.

Xiao Wei said, "Something came up. I had to rearrange the shelves. There were so many people, I had to rearrange the stall shelves again. Why aren't you asleep yet? Are you reading two books at the same time? That's impressive."

Xiao Hong was holding two books: Xi Murong's poetry collection and Jin Yong's Liancheng Jue.

These were the two most popular people in the early 90s, a man and a woman. One was elegant and refined, lyrical and lively, while the other had a simple and sincere writing style and a passionate heart. One used a woman's sensitivity and extremely beautiful words to praise the world, while the other used a man's composure and simple descriptions to create a brand new world.

These two individuals have dominated the minds and eyes of almost everyone in this era.

Xiao Hong lazily waved the book in her hand: "I was just flipping through it randomly, I didn't get into it, I'm sleepy."

Xiao Wei took off his clothes, hung them up, and changed into his bathrobe: "If you're sleepy, just sleep. Isn't it uncomfortable to stay up? I'm going to take a shower; I feel cold."

Xiao Hong sat up, looking at Xiao Wei with her big eyes: "You have no conscience."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "Fine, fine, I'm heartless. You can lie down and get some sleep."

Little Red holds out one hand: "I want some water."

Xiaowei drank half of the cooled boiled water in the cup, then went to the water dispenser to add some hot water and handed it to Xiaohong. After watching Xiaohong drink it, he took the cup and put it away before going out to take a shower.

When Xiaowei came back into the room after taking a shower, Xiaohong was already fast asleep, snoring softly.

The next morning, Xiaowei was woken up by Zaoan biting him.

After the two lay down in a deep, satisfying embrace, Xiao Hong said, "I was waiting for you to come back last night to talk to me, but you just wouldn't come back." She then playfully punched Xiao Wei.

"What is it?"

"New Year's Eve Gala, sponsorship available."

Xiao Wei said, "No, what are the rest of you doing? Are you the only one out here soliciting sponsorships? And then you just let me take the credit?"

Xiao Hong nestled in Xiao Wei's arms with her eyes closed. She chuckled a few times when she heard Xiao Wei's words, and reached out to pat Xiao Wei's head: "It's okay, you won't pluck it all off, the production team won't find out."

He paused for a moment and said, "Actually, I just wanted to take some money, but it's too much trouble to get the sponsoring organization's stamp."

Xiao Wei said, "Your thinking is wrong. Getting sponsorships is a collective effort. What kind of behavior is it for you to take money personally? Besides, this is supposed to be a way to cultivate and train students' abilities. If you can get sponsorships, then do it. If you can't, then you've tried your best and have a clear conscience. How can you be like this?"

Xiao Hong twisted her body: "I was just trying to save trouble, and it's not much money. You don't care about me at all."

Xiaowei said, "Xiaohong, there's something wrong with your thinking. If you keep going like this, you're doomed. Do you still want to improve? I mean in terms of ability and adaptability. We have money; we can solve anything with money, right?"

"According to your logic, why should Lao Xia go to work? Why should you go to school? What's the point of me working? Now, let's sell everything, make a fortune, I dare not say, but it's definitely worth hundreds of millions. So, why don't we just quit everything and live off the money? Okay?"

Today, I received another summons. I can't get my money back over there, and now they're all pressing me relentlessly. It's so hard for honest people in this society. What's the point of living?
