Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

"How long has this been going on?"

The person asking the question was Cao Zhiqiang, and the people he questioned were naturally the sales managers of Xinhua Bookstore, Shen Zhenhua and Liu Donghai.

Well, strictly speaking, there is only one person in charge here, and that is Liu Donghai.

As for Shen Zhenhua, as the secretary to the general manager, he has no fixed place and is a mobile operation.

In other words, Shen Zhenhua can visit all the major sales points and report the situation to Cao Zhiqiang at any time. He is Cao Zhiqiang's eyes and ears, and plays the role of overall supervision. It is similar to the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty. It is appropriate.

Dog legs.

However, Cao Zhiqiang's original order to Shen Zhenhua was not to bother him if everything went well or there was nothing important. After all, Cao Zhiqiang still had to concentrate on reading novels and recording at home.

Therefore, although Shen Zhenhua traveled everywhere, in his opinion, everything was going smoothly recently and there was no trouble, so he never called Cao Zhiqiang to report the situation, so as not to disturb the boss, Cao Zhiqiang.

manager.

Just kidding, Shen Zhenhua is a serious person in a serious company now, and his income is very high. He is a person who wants face and dignity.

Therefore, Shen Zhenhua cherishes this opportunity very much, and even more cherishes Cao Zhiqiang as a talented person. Of course, he completely listens to Cao Zhiqiang.

Because of this, he spent most of his time in Wangfujing Bookstore.

After all, this is the barometer of Xinhua Bookstore. As long as there are no problems here, there will be no big problems elsewhere.

In addition, when Cao Zhiqiang was hiding at home and working as a hands-off shopkeeper, Shen Zhenhua, the secretary to the general manager, really needed to take turns to be in charge of various Xinhua Bookstores.

Because the sales situation is so good, replenishment is needed, and for replenishment, not only Xinhua Bookstore needs to send people, but also the publishing house needs to send people to contact them.

Apart from anything else, just contacting the printing factory's warehouse for shipments and accounting transactions, all of which require the supervision of Secretary Shen Zhenhua and his signature.

Yes, when Cao Zhiqiang is not present, the only one who can make the final signature is Shen Zhenhua. After all, he holds the company seal.

So in a certain way, Shen Zhenhua is a bit like a eunuch with a palm print.

So now the question comes. Cao Zhiqiang suddenly visited and suddenly asked this question, but did not specify who would answer it. Should it be Shen Zhenhua, the secretary, or Liu Donghai, the actual person in charge of the bookstore sales point, who would answer it?

Just like that, Shen Zhenhua and Liu Donghai looked at each other, and then Liu Donghai nodded to Shen Zhenhua and pursed his lips again.

The intention is obviously to let Shen Zhenhua come forward. After all, Shen Zhenhua is Cao Zhiqiang's true confidant.

Seeing that Liu Donghai meant this, Shen Zhenhua blinked, shook his head, and then nuzzled at Cao Zhiqiang.

This means that you are the person in charge here and it is your responsibility to report the situation here.

Seeing that Shen Zhenhua meant this, Liu Donghai bit the bullet and asked Cao Zhiqiang carefully: "General manager, what kind of situation are you talking about?"

"Of course there are long queues." Cao Zhiqiang pointed to the long queue outside Xinhua Bookstore, "When did this start?"

After hearing this, Liu Donghai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "General Manager, strictly speaking, this started from the afternoon of the day before yesterday. It has not been like this before."

After a pause, Liu Donghai continued: "Before the afternoon of the day before yesterday, although our books were selling well here, we still didn't have people queuing up.

However, around four o'clock in the afternoon the day before yesterday, dozens of people suddenly came here.

Then, these dozens of people asked for a hundred copies of this, and a thousand copies of that.

In this way, three times five divided by two, all the 30,000 copies in stock here were sold.

After the inventory here was sold out, people who didn't buy it were unhappy and clamored for restocking.

I wanted the people from Xinhua Bookstore to go to our warehouse to replenish the goods, but they refused to do it, saying that they had finished their work for the day and that if we needed to replenish the goods, we would be responsible for it ourselves.

When I saw that there was nothing I could do, I called the person in charge of the sales point of other bookstores, trying to find books stored in other bookstores to make adjustments.

But as a result, other bookstore sales points were also sold out, and they sold out faster than here. They even planned to ask me to borrow books and sell them there.

Finally, I found Shen Zhenhua and asked him to help replenish the goods. Then...then you can ask Shen Zhenhua."

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang looking at him, Shen Zhenhua said quickly: "He is such a general manager. The afternoon before yesterday, I found that the supply exceeded demand at all sales points, so I immediately went to the printing office warehouse of Hongguang Machinery Factory to ask the people from the printing office to

Help replenish the goods.

As a result, I went to the printing office and asked for it, but the people there refused to do it, saying that they were only responsible for printing and looking after the warehouse, and that Xinhua Bookstore was responsible for the loading, unloading and transportation, and it had nothing to do with them.

And they don’t have vehicles to transport it, so they can’t carry it by carrying it on their shoulders, right?

Furthermore, it was almost time to get off work, so I told Liu Donghai and the people at other sales points that we would do this for the day and increase the supply the next day.

As for those customers who cannot buy it, we can only ask them to wait until they arrive early tomorrow morning.

Then the next day, that is, early yesterday morning, I increased the purchase volume to each sales point to 50,000 copies.

The result was good. Once the 50,000 copies were shipped to different sales points, they were all sold out in one morning, without any promotion at all.

Then, the people at Xinhua Bookstore were not willing to go back and replenish the goods, saying that it was not part of the plan.

As for the people in the printing office, they are not willing to buy and replenish goods, saying that it is not within the scope of their work.

With no other choice, I had to find a group of my brothers to use tricycles and bicycles to help pull goods and sell them, which was barely enough.

But by that time, there was already a long queue outside.

Then, around eight o'clock this morning.

More than a dozen big customers came here, and they wanted to buy all the inventory of "Jianghu Xing" in our bookstore.

After discussing with Liu Donghai, I thought this was a good idea, so we agreed.

Then, the place was just sold out, and more and more people came out to buy books. We refused to leave no matter what, and even started making a fuss.

With no other choice, people from Xinhua Bookstore called the police, and people here rarely agreed to help us replenish the goods.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, people from Xinhua Bookstore replenished the goods and shipped another 10,000 sets.

I was thinking, 10,000 sets should be enough this time, right?

As a result, before twelve o'clock, everything was sold out.

But people outside still don't leave, they still want to buy books.

Fortunately, the people at Xinhua Bookstore agreed to replenish the stock, but asked that the promotional prizes we gave them be discounted and given to them as hard work expenses.

I thought this was okay, so I agreed.

So, the people from Xinhua Bookstore just went to buy some goods again.

This time, there are 100,000 sets and 200,000 books.

This time, it should be enough.

They're not here yet, but they should be here soon.

By then, we will definitely be able to supply it here, and there won’t be a shortage of supply.”

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "What if some big second-tier dealers appear in the crowd again, and a dozen people will buy your goods?"

"Wouldn't that be better?" Shen Zhenhua said with a smile, "This is a hundred thousand sets. If someone can wrap it up quickly, then we can make more money, so why not do it?"

"Hutu!" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "If that's the case, what will those people outside who have been waiting all morning think? Will they be willing?

If you are unwilling, you will cause trouble. Once trouble occurs and something goes wrong, who will be responsible?

When the time comes, will our publishing house be responsible, or will Xinhua Bookstore be responsible? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Ah?" Shen Zhenhua was stunned, and looked at each other with Liu Donghai.

Afterwards, Shen Zhenhua asked Cao Zhiqiang: "General manager, what do you mean?"

Cao Zhiqiang said: "In this way, after the people from Xinhua Bookstore bring in the goods, you can tell the people queuing up outside to buy books that in order to show fairness, each person can only buy once a day at Xinhua Bookstore, and each person has a limit.

Buy one set, don’t sell any more!”

"Ah?" Shen Zhenhua said, "Well, don't we have to continue queuing?"

"Just ask them to continue queuing!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "Also, if you tell them that if they want to buy more books at one time and want to be a wholesaler, we are also welcome.

But if you want to be a wholesaler, you can start selling at least 1,000 sets, but you can’t buy it here. You have to go to our publishing house to buy it.

That is to say, if you want to be a wholesaler and resell our books, you can go to our publishing house and buy them at a discounted price."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang said: "In this case, Liu Donghai will continue to stay here and deal with the wholesale issues of the publishing house. Huazi, you will be responsible for it.

As for the wholesale price, the starting price is one thousand sets, the more the better, the wholesale price is eight yuan!"

"Is this possible?" Shen Zhenhua asked.

"Why not?" Cao Zhiqiang said, "The price we sell to Xinhua Bookstore is five yuan per copy.

In other words, as long as Xinhua Bookstore sells food through Xinhua Bookstore, Xinhua Bookstore will make five yuan.

But if those second-rate dealers want to make a profit on the price difference, they can buy the books from Xinhua Bookstore, which costs ten yuan a copy.

Now you tell them to buy in bulk from our publishing house for eight yuan a copy, and they will definitely be happy.

In this way, we no longer go to Xinhua Bookstore, and we can take out a book for eight yuan, and earn three yuan more. Why not?

The capacity of Xinhua Bookstore is limited. If such a huge show continues, Xinhua Bookstore will be in trouble, and they must be happy to divert people.

So you see, if I do this, it’s a win-win situation, don’t you think so?”

"Well..." Shen Zhenhua blinked, and then whispered, "General Manager, is there something wrong with what we do?

What if someone reports us and wants to arrest us?"

Cao Zhiqiang rolled his eyes: "Arrest us? Why should we be arrested?

We are a state-owned publishing house and a book manufacturer, not a middleman who makes profit from the price difference.

These books are not items with restricted supply; they are things that can be bought and sold freely.

Furthermore, there is no regulation that our publisher’s books are only allowed to be sold to Xinhua Bookstore, and we are not allowed to sell the books directly to ordinary people?

People come to our publishing house and want to buy our books directly from us in large quantities. They pay the money and deliver the goods. What's the problem?"

Shen Zhenhua frowned and said: "But they sold it at a high price after changing hands. This is obviously... illegal!"

Cao Zhiqiang rolled his eyes again: "That's their business, not ours?

Did we ask them to do that? Or did our price exceed the list price?

As long as our selling price is not higher than the set price, then we will have no problem and they won’t be able to catch us!”

"Well..." Shen Zhenhua scratched his head, and then said with a wry smile, "General Manager, what you said makes sense, but sometimes, those people, those guys in uniform, don't tell you these truths.

Yes, if you say you are, you are!"

"Then you can rest assured again." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and patted Shen Zhenhua on the shoulder, "We are not ordinary people, and our publishing house is not a small unit that can be manipulated by others.

Someone really dares to reach out...

Don’t worry, we still have the support of our mother-in-law, Hongguang Machinery Factory!

If it really doesn't work, there is still the Ministry of Metallurgy and the Central Xuan... cough cough.

Anyway, there is someone above us!

Not alone!

As long as we follow the rules, be reasonable, behave upright, sit upright, and do things properly, no one will dare to mess around!

So, feel free to do it boldly, I will be there if anything happens!"
