National Tide 1980

Unlike Ning Weimin, who tried his best to pretend to be a grandson, Zhang Shihui was full of high spirits and pride after the festival.

For no other reason, except that he actually bought a Jialing CJ70 for 2,600.

By replacing cars with motorcycles, you can enjoy the speed of motor vehicles.

It was also because Sister Tan was watching over Huimin Cigarette Hotel that he was finally able to free up his hands to work on the stagnant tobacco and alcohol repurchase business.

There is no doubt that for any industry, the most effective way to promote your business is advertising.

But unfortunately, the business of buying back tobacco and alcohol falls into a gray category.

If you really want to be serious, follow the relevant regulations on tobacco and alcohol monopoly.

The buyback of tobacco and alcohol is completely an out-of-scope operation that evades taxes and harms national interests.

If the sugar, tobacco and alcohol companies and the industrial and commercial tax department knew about this kind of thing.

If you don't do it right, you'll be punished, or even shut down for rectification.

Therefore, there is absolutely no possibility of placing advertisements in newspapers openly.

Don’t say that any newspaper’s advertising department won’t pass the review.

Even if it passes, the side effects caused by widespread publicity may be too much to bear.

So what should we do?

Fortunately, Ning Weimin's business card provided inspiration for Zhang Shihui.

This kid had an idea and mastered the art of placing small advertisements without any teacher.

First, Zhang Shihui used Ning Weimin's business card as a model, went to a nearby school-run printing factory, and proposed to print two thousand small cards like business cards.

What he asked for was simple.

In addition to the slogan "Sincerely looking for high-end tobacco and alcohol, please call or come to inquire", there is the address and phone number of Huimin Yan Hotel.

But what surprised him was that although it was just a small school-run factory.

But the management of this kind of thing is quite strict, and people can't print without proof from the unit.

As a result, he had to run an extra leg.

It wasn't until I got the cigarette shop's license and showed it to the small factory that they were willing to take the job.

Then I got the card, but I couldn't tell where to send it.

Zhang Shihui is also particularly wise in this regard.

He knows that targeted delivery is the best way.

So I rode the motorcycle I just bought to the dormitory compounds of various agencies and ministries nearby, and "swept the buildings" one by one.

The reason is very simple, because only these special groups have more opportunities to receive gifts, and there will be tobacco and alcohol at home that cannot be consumed.

Needless to say, this kind of card is really convenient. Whether it is at the bottom of the door or in the crack of the door, you can just insert it. It is very convenient.

And the response is really good.

In just three days, business came to me.

From then on, the reception room behind Huiminyan Hotel finally came into use.

And since then, the volume of tobacco and alcohol recycling business has been increasing day by day.

Some people came directly to the door with cigarettes and alcohol according to the card address, some called to inquire about the situation, and some hoped that the cigarette shop would send someone to the door to discuss it in person.

Needless to say, under this momentum, the specific gains are of course very gratifying.

In just about a week, the cigarette shop collected more than 60 cartons of high-end cigarettes and more than 80 bottles of fine wine, with a total value of about 1,500.

Especially for wine, there are two bottles of "Lao Feitian" Moutai produced before 1966, and two bottles of "Huangjiang" special Moutai produced in 1972.

Just based on this, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but want to stretch out his arms and shout "Niu Bigras"!

You know, by helping the Sugar Industry Tobacco and Liquor Company to sell cheap tobacco and alcohol worth ten thousand, you can get back about two thousand five thousand high-end goods.

However, even if Zhang Shihui works hard to sell goods, his monthly sales will never exceed 30,000.

It is equivalent to saying that this is his original business ceiling.

If you can sell the goods in exchange for high-end tobacco and alcohol worth five to six thousand, it would be great.

But this week, the goods he obtained through repurchase alone were equivalent to doubling his purchase volume.

Although the types of these goods are somewhat scattered.

The price is based on the official retail price, which is a 19% discount. In fact, it is almost the same as purchasing directly.

But the key is that this kind of recycling business is easy, efficient and has great potential.

No matter which angle you look at it, it is a qualitative change.

It is far superior to the stupid method of obtaining quotas by relying on sales in the past.

Don’t forget, the repurchase of tobacco and alcohol has just begun. The situation in the future will undoubtedly be better than now.

No matter what, doubling profits is almost within reach, maybe even double or triple.

This is such a bargain!

Then can Zhang Shihui not be beautiful?

Of course, on the other hand, the repurchase business has really started.

Only now did Zhang Shihui understand the true intentions of many of Ning Weimin's original arrangements.

For example, in the past, Zhang Shihui always felt that the address of the Cigarette Hotel was not very ideal, while Ning Weimin's choice was a bit tame.

There were no people on this street. No matter how he thought about it, he didn't think it looked like a place to do business.

In fact, when it first opened, only nearby residents came to visit, and it didn't do much business from passers-by.

But that's different now.

Because Zhang Shihui not only found that the desolateness of this street was of great benefit to the wholesale business of tobacco and alcohol.

As soon as the free market closes every day, the farmers who want to take their goods home can gather in front of the store at will to sort, pick up, and pick up the goods without disturbing others.

The most important thing is the location of Huanghuamen Street, right between Dongsi, Xisi, Gulou, Beixinqiao and Deshengmen.

These areas are all ministries and commissions, surrounded by various government agencies and their dormitories.

This means sufficient supply and convenient transportation.

Whether it's customers coming or him visiting, it's not always convenient.

In addition, this kind of thing requires secrecy.

Among those who came to deliver cigarettes and alcohol for business, everyone knew how to be low-key and unassuming, except for the young man who came to sell his parents' things behind his back.

So the disadvantages turned into advantages.

As far as the tobacco and alcohol repurchase business is concerned, there is actually no place more suitable than here.

For another example, the northern part of the backyard was decorated so decently and comfortably.

In fact, Zhang Shihui disagreed earlier.

But because he was the biggest beneficiary of being stationed here for a long time, he didn't say anything.

But now he sees more and more the necessity of this backyard.

Not to mention that it is enough to guarantee the benefits of secrecy, let's just say that the snobbery in this world is too serious.

The people who come to sell cigarettes and alcohol are all well-dressed people, and they are not willing to do business with people they don't trust.

Why do people trust him so readily and become his repeat customers?

Isn't it because the hotel has a telephone and a decent waiting room?

This strength has become his most effective business credit guarantee certificate.

Otherwise, this business would never be able to get on the right track so quickly.

So based on the above two points, he still had to admit that his cleverness was still not up to par with Ning Weimin's foresight.

Finally, there is the hiring of Sister Tan. Zhang Shihui was very "eye-catching" at first.

Ah thinks that Ning Weimin is a good person and sincerely makes him uncomfortable.

Who would want such a person?

But later, it also felt different.

Because although Sister Tan has a disabled appearance that makes people uncomfortable to look at, she is diligent, careful and has a good memory.

He actually took care of the cigarette shop in an orderly manner, completely liberating Zhang Shihui, and made him a good assistant.

But now, Sister Tan's excellent eloquence is revealed again.

When Zhang Shihui is away, whether she answers the phone or receives customers who come to her door, she can always calm the customers and calm their impatience.

No matter how difficult it is, you can still make an appointment with them to talk about the next time and leave their contact information.

Even this eldest sister is very clear about the truth behind this.

I actually said to Zhang Shihui during a chat, "You two bosses are both good people and smart people. I'm sure that our tobacco shop will get bigger and bigger. You two will definitely make a fortune."

"Why am I sure? Hey, it's obvious. I'm not confused. Nowadays, there are too many articles in newspapers about eating and drinking and giving gifts through the back door. Although it is criticism. But what does it mean? It means treating guests and giving gifts. There are so many people. There’s no telling how many of them haven’t posted it, right? This is certainly a good thing for our business.”

"To put it bluntly, there are two types of people: gift givers and gift recipients. What we do is to collect the gifts from the recipients at a low price, and then sell them to the gift givers at a high price once they change hands. Although this gift is still a gift , but the price difference in the middle will be left to us. This is a guaranteed sweet deal, how can you not make a fortune?"

"But I have to say something more. The goods we collect must not be sold in our store. You'd better find other ways to sell them. Even the high-end goods in the store are best removed. Why? Because since there is a price difference, the buyer and seller cannot know about it. You can accept it and buy it in the store at the same time. You can't hide it."

"Besides, doing this will cause trouble. Where do all the good cigarettes and alcohol in the store come from? I'm afraid that other stores will be jealous and deliberately report us to the Industrial and Commercial Taxation Office and have people investigate us. The only way to collect it is here. If we sell it elsewhere and make a fortune in silence, we will be safe in the long run."

Well, people actually think more clearly than him.

This made Zhang Shihui discover that Sister Tan was actually a talented person who could stand alone.

He sincerely believed that if this eldest sister were a man, he should know about tobacco and alcohol.

I'm afraid he has no business advantage compared to others.

So he took the initiative and added commission when he paid his salary at the end of the month.

For no other reason than to cherish talents.

Since he is no longer at the level of a salesperson, of course he must be given a corresponding increase in remuneration.

Otherwise, one day he feels it is not suitable and will stop doing it. It will be too late for him to regret it by then.

Of course, Zhang Shihui was not stupid enough to give too much at once.

He still understood the principle of taking things step by step and leaving room for yourself, so he added thirty.

However, when Sister Tan received such a reward, her first reaction was to be frightened and panicked.

Hey, I called Zhang Shihui at that time.

Zhang Shihui was a bit dumbfounded by the insistence on returning the extra 80 yuan.

"Sister, please take it, I won't give you more. What's going on is that you have helped the store contact nine customers this month, and the transaction amount is almost 600, so I will give you a commission of 5%. Three Ten yuan, the numbers match."

"Ah? But I didn't say there was any commission at the beginning..."

"It was then, and now is now. We are not a public institution, so whatever I say is fine. Just take it, it's what you deserve. You have helped me a lot, and I have to be worthy of you."

"Hey...this...isn't it the right thing to do things with money? I'm sorry...you're not asking me to resign?"

"Oh, eldest sister, where are you thinking? Am I not a fool anymore?"

"No, no... I'm scared, scared. To be honest, thanks to you two bosses, my life has been better. I thought I didn't do something well..."

"Oh, eldest sister, you are just too worried. Don't worry. First, I can't let you go. Second, with this store here, our lives will get better and better."

"Hey, okay, okay..."

In response, Sister Tan actually wiped her face and tears actually came out.

Zhang Shihui burst out laughing when he saw it.

"Oh, don't cry. Since you have come to our store, you must smile more from now on. Just like Teresa Teng's song. Congratulations. Everything goes well this year. Your business is profitable and your life is fun. 'Have you heard of it?"

Sister Tan was really amused when she heard Zhang Shihui's tone-deaf imitation show.

"Oh, why haven't you heard of it? The streets are full of songs by Deng...Deng or something like that. They are humming and twirling."

"A grown-up boy would carry the radio cassette player all day long just to play her songs. It's not too heavy."

"What about 'let's talk after you finish this drink'... I can't listen to that. I get goosebumps when I hear it..."

Seeing Sister Tan curling her lips and waving her hands, Zhang Shihui couldn't help laughing.

He found a sense of humor in Sister Tan again.
