Hello, 1983

Inside Shanhaizhai, there were three foreigners, shouting something angrily.

Among them, one is middle-aged, and the other two are relatively young, a man and a woman, and they look like a pair of lovers.

There was also a translator in a suit next to him, who followed him:

"You dare to deceive foreign friends, hurry up and call your boss!"

There are dozens of customers in the store, all gathered around, talking a lot.

Some people say that foreigners are too arrogant, and of course there are also people who suspect that the store sells fake goods and deceives people.

The store manager of Shanhaizhai is Feng Jing, who is trying to explain:

"Several gentlemen, every item sold by our Shanhaizhai is guaranteed by reputation. If you leave it, you will pay ten. What's wrong with the items you bought?"

If you leave, you will pay ten, which is the rule set by Liu Qingshan when it opened.

Especially in the jewelry industry, ordinary people do not know how to do it, so it is not uncommon to deceive consumers.

But Liu Qingshan knows the importance of credibility, so he has this rule.

"If you fake one, you will pay ten. Then you will pay. The foreign guests have purchased more than 20,000 foreign exchange coupons, and you have to compensate 200,000!"

The translator's voice was very loud, and his fingers were about to poke Feng Jing's face.

The melon eaters who were watching the lively around also exclaimed, these days, foreign exchange coupons are expensive, and it is amazing to have a few hundred dollars.

Tens of thousands is hundreds of thousands, and for ordinary people, it is simply life-threatening.

"You two devils!" A big hand suddenly stretched out and directly lifted the translator into the air, kicking his legs helplessly.

However, Li Tie was too arrogant and stepped forward to do it.

This guy also glared at the foreigners: "What are you looking at? If you dare to make trouble with us, you will still be beaten. The hairs I beat are enough for a row!"

The three foreigners were all bullied by him and backed up again and again. This strong man looked too scary.

Little Cui'er hurried up and grabbed her husband's arm: "Tie Niu, let go, you are not the way to solve the problem."

Li Tieniu is good at this, listen to his wife, because that's what the dumb grandfather told him.

So I put the translator in my hand on the ground: "It's cheap for you today.

"

The translator was almost scared to pee, but he continued to shout: "Is this how you treat customers in your store?"

Feng Jing was still neither humble nor arrogant: "If it is a problem in our store, we will definitely compensate for it. Could you please tell me about the situation first?"

The translator sneered a few times: "What else is there to say, we have just asked an expert to identify it, you are not Hetian jade at all, of course it is a fake!"

At this time, Hai Mingzhu separated from the crowd and walked in. She ignored the translator and greeted the three foreigners directly in proficient English:

"Hello, gentlemen, and this lady, I am the manager of this jewelry store. If you have any questions, I will answer them for you."

Hai Mingzhu is on Hong Kong Island and has mastered English, especially spoken English, and has no problem communicating at all.

"Hello, beautiful lady, my name is John, we are from Great Britain." The middle-aged foreigner also politely shook hands with Hai Mingzhu.

The current Hai Mingzhu has an elegant temperament and an even more outstanding appearance, which makes people dare not despise.

Even on Hong Kong Island, Young Master Zheng of Zhou's Jewelry fell for her, but Hai Mingzhu despised that kind of child.

Therefore, foreigners are actually watching people eat dishes.

Hai Mingzhu knows very well that this matter has a lot to do with Shanhaizhai's reputation. If it is not handled properly, the news of Shanhaizhai selling fake goods will spread, and the business will plummet.

However, she was also confident in the goods in the store, so she smiled slightly: "Mr. John, let's go over there and sit down and talk slowly."

Hai Mingzhu stretched out her hand and pointed out that in the corner of the jewelry store, there was a small table and a few chairs for guests to rest.

Liu Qingshan stood at the periphery of the crowd, he was not in a hurry, because he knew the situation in the store.

And Hai Mingzhu handled things very decently, and he didn't need him, so let's just be a bystander.

Because Liu Qingshan noticed that the translator's eyes flickered a little, maybe he was pregnant with something.

Hai Mingzhu led the three foreign guests, sat down in front of the table, and asked the salesperson to make a few cups of tea.

The other customers in the store naturally didn't want to watch, but no one left, they all pretended to be there to choose jewelry, wanting to wait for the outcome of the matter.

If you see half of it while watching the fun, it will be boring.

And there are some people who have a little bit of careful thinking: if you fake one, you will lose ten. If you pay a foreigner, can we also pay?

After drinking a sip of tea, John said: "We came to your ancient country to travel, and we are very envious of the long-standing Chinese culture. We heard that jade is the representative of China, so we bought a few pieces here."

The young couple put several boxes on the table, with jade carvings and pendants in them.

"However, Zhang told us that there was a fake jade, and he took us to conduct an appraisal, which turned out to be not the real jade."

John pointed to the translator behind him, and it was estimated that this guy's surname was Zhang.

Hai Mingzhu looked up at the translator, but saw that the guy's eyes were a little dodgy, so he picked up the jade in the box and looked at it, and soon saw the clue:

"Mr. John, there are many kinds of jade. In our country, the most precious is Hetian jade, and the price is also the highest."

Hai Mingzhu took out the certificate at the bottom of the box: "Mr. John, please see, the jade you bought is not from Hotan, but around Lake Baikal. The certificate is already marked."

"That's why it's so cheap in terms of price. If it was Hetian jade, the price would be at least ten times higher."

After explaining it clearly, Hai Mingzhu said apologetically: "Of course, we have no experience in our store, and we didn't use English labels. Please forgive me."

"Is that so?" The Mr. John, still a little suspicious, looked at the translator beside him.

Translator Zhang retorted: "Mr. John, when they sold it, they didn't explain the origin and materials."

Hai Mingzhu smiled slightly, stood up, and led the crowd to the counter that sells jade:

"Everyone, please see, this counter is Hetian jade, you can check the price above."

She picked up a jade Buddha, pointed to the label, and said, "It was carved with high-quality Hetian jade, and one piece is worth 12,000 yuan."

Then he pointed to another counter in the distance, separated by the jade jewelry area: "We also marked that there, and sells Russian jade."

And Feng Jing, the store manager, also winked and brought over a jade Buddha of the same size.

Hai Mingzhu pointed to the price on the label and said, "This Russian jade is much cheaper, and the price is only 1,500 yuan."

The two Jade Buddhas are placed together, and laymen can't tell the difference at all, and on the surface, the Russian Jade Buddha is even whiter.

Comparing the two prices, John also understands a bit.

The foreign woman also opened her mouth and said, "We did buy it there. Zhang also said at the time that the price there is cheap."

John couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He was surrounded by people for a long time, but he didn't understand the situation on his own side, and he felt a little embarrassed.

So John's gaze at Zhang's translator became sharp: "Zhang, why didn't you explain clearly at the time?"

"Mr. John, I don't know much about jade. I'm also afraid that you will waste money." Zhang translator looked innocent.

John could only wave his hand, then stood up and bowed to Hai Mingzhu: "Please accept my apology."

The misunderstanding was resolved, and the smile on Hai Mingzhu's face became brighter. She bowed slightly:

"Mr. John, your gentlemanly manner is also admirable."

In one sentence, John was immediately praised with a smile on his face:

"Beautiful lady, I have decided that I will bring back a batch of real Chinese jade. Yes, it is called Hetian jade, because it is just like this ancient country, gentle and elegant, which makes people feel happy."

Even Liu Qingshan nodded slightly: Not bad, this foreigner has already understood some jade culture.

Hai Mingzhu also shook hands with John again: "In order to express our respect to our friends and guests, we will also offer discounts for you in our store. This is a testimony of our friendship."

Everyone was very happy for a while, and even the guests who were watching the excitement were also in a happy mood.

After all, the Chinese people at this time had a strong sense of national pride, but they didn't want to lose face in front of foreigners for their own country.

And their trust in Shanhaizhai has also recovered, even more firm.

John and his party picked another piece of Yushanzi and two pendants, this time of course they were all from Hetian jade, and then they left with satisfaction.

Liu Qingshan nodded towards an inconspicuous young man in the crowd, and the young man followed.

And Liu Qingshan is completely relieved now that Shanhaizhai is handed over to Haimingzhu, and it is estimated that he will not have to worry about it in the future.

As for Hai Mingzhu's demeanor just now, and her calmness in handling things, Liu Qingshan is looking forward to her future development, I am afraid that she will really become the brightest pearl in the jewelry industry.

The store has returned to normal, and customers' enthusiasm for buying is even higher.

At this time, there was a cheer outside the door, and a group of people rushed in. It was Hou San who took the lead, and behind them were the employees brought over from Heihe by Longteng Company, all of whom were veterans.

A murderous aura quietly pervaded Shanhaizhai.

Hou San saw Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu, his eyes lit up immediately, and he waved his hand behind him: "It's alright, let's go back to work."

With a swish, the veterans quickly evacuated, leaving cleanly in the blink of an eye.

Hou San knew that with Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu here, things would definitely be settled.

He also just got the news that someone was making trouble in Shanhaizhai, so he led the people over.

"Boss, when will you be back?"

Hou San approached Liu Qingshan and nodded to Li Tieniu and Xiao Cui.

"Brother Hou, it's been a long time."

There were a lot of customers in the jewelry store, so Liu Qingshan greeted Hai Mingzhu and left Shanhaizhai.

Hou Sanze smiled brightly: "Boss, I think this is a shopping mall. It's similar to our border trade. It's just the same thing. Buying goods and selling goods, everyone is still doing their best, and they are all very comfortable."

A large shopping mall also involves many departments, from the most basic shopping guides and cashiers to security, cleaning, etc., and requires a large number of logistics personnel.

Hou San brought these more than 200 people and scattered them into the big shopping mall, which was not enough because there was a large supermarket under the shopping mall.

"Go ahead and have a look." Of course Liu Qingshan did not doubt Hou San's ability. The Longteng shopping mall in the capital was a test point.

If successful, Liu Qingshan is ready to open chain stores in several big cities, completely starting the name of Longteng Shopping Center.

The most important thing at the moment is logistics, because there is no standard in this industry.

Under the guidance of Hou San, several people walked towards the gate of the mall. There was a large revolving door in the middle, and spare fire doors on both sides, which were not normally opened.

"How do you enter this door?" Xiaocui was a little confused when she saw this kind of three-wing revolving door for the first time.

On the other hand, Li Tieniu had seen him on Hong Kong Island. He pulled Xiaocui in, pushed him gently, and then walked slowly forward.

When he got inside the mall, Li Tieniu walked out, Xiaocui took a step too slowly and didn't come out, but turned around again, and then jumped to Li Tieniu's side happily:

"Quite fun."

At present, this kind of door is rarely used in China. It is estimated that those children who enter the store will turn around a few times to play.

Liu Qingshan also went to the shopping mall. The decoration has been completed. Many people are carrying the shelves and pushing the goods, and they have begun to put them on the shelves one after another.

There is an elevator in the middle of the front face, with two passages up and down, and below is the underground supermarket.

Several security personnel are hanging various signs.

Looking around, the mall feels spacious and atmospheric, and it is full of dazzling sights. It is still a little messy now. When the goods are put on the shelves, they should be very neat.

The first floor is mainly for clothes and hats. The more she looks at it, the more she wonders: "Why is there no counter, hasn't it been put out yet?"

Hou San explained to her: "We are the first large-scale self-service shopping mall in the capital. Customers can choose whatever they want."

In 1981, Yangcheng became the first shopping mall of choice, but it was a friendship store.

In 1985, the first supermarket was established on the Hujiang side. Of course, the name was still called the optional shopping mall.

However, this optional shopping mall is mainly aimed at foreigners living in Hujiang, so foreign exchange coupons are required to purchase goods, which restricts the entry of ordinary citizens.

The word "optional mall" made Xiao Cui a little confused: "Is this different from a state-run store?"

That's right, Liu Qingshan knew that it was the cold counter that cut off customers at once.

The sales clerk slapped her face, said small talk or something, and the customer had to accompany the smiling face.

Customers are not God, customers are grandchildren.

"What if someone sneaks away the goods then?" Xiao Cui was a little worried.

This is really a practical problem. There are not so many advanced equipment now, and we can only rely on security personnel.

Fortunately, most of these security guards are veterans, and their reconnaissance capabilities are quite strong.

At that time, the security guards on the bright side will all wear uniform uniforms, which can act as a deterrent.

Secretly, arrange some secret whistle, grasp the typical and so on, wait for everyone to develop a habit and develop a rule, and it will naturally be fine.

"Qingshan, why does this mall always feel weird and different from other places." Xiao Cui was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

Liu Qingshan asked with a smile, "Then tell me, is it more comfortable to shop in such a mall, or is it more comfortable to shop in a state-run mall?"

Xiao Cui blinked a few times: "It should be here, I went to the store with Tie Niu yesterday, and asked a few more questions, the salesperson got annoyed, stared at me, and said that I was a mountain cannon, and Tie Niu almost talked to others. Fight."

Hou San interjected triumphantly from the side: "This is the advantage of our own shopping mall. When it opens, business will definitely be booming."

Suddenly someone took over the conversation, and there was a yin and yang strange voice:

"Not really. In the past two years, a vegetable and non-staple food supermarket was established in Zhongguancun. In less than a year, it lost 230,000 yuan, hahaha..."
