The Pentium Era - South to North

On the first day the market opens, there won't be much business. Most customers don't come out to buy goods until after fifteen. Zhang Chen got up at around eight o'clock and told Xiao Zhao, "You can just stay at home today. Anyway, there are some in the store." Xiaoli.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Zhao asked.

"I went to the market to look for A Yong. He is a local. I asked him to ask his friends to help me look for any stores." Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao said.

Xiao Zhao knew that he had made up his mind to open his flagship store. Xiao Zhao had no objection to opening a retail store. When the store opened, he could always do some business. They were already doing well in retail in the market. .

Even if there is no business, it is best to transfer the store to others at worst. Even if it is a loss, it should not be much. But if Zhang Chen is not allowed to try, he will definitely be unwilling to do so. Besides, his plan does not sound like much. Problem, the silent revolution is just taking one step at a time, so just take one step at a time.

Zhang Chen went to A Yong's place and told him the matter. A Yong agreed immediately. He said, I will call them all right away and ask them to ask, what do you want?

Zhang Chen said that the area should be more than 100 square meters and the location requirement should be in a downtown area. If you sell clothes, you can't go to an alley.

Countless. A Yong said.

Zhang Chen returned to the stall and saw He Hongmei coming in leisurely from outside. Zhang Chen asked, "Are you going to ship the goods so early?"

He Hongmei shook her head and said, "It's still early. I'm here to touch you. If you weren't here, I would have gone to the factory."

"What's up?"

He Hongmei opened her eyes wide: "What's going on? There are so many things there, what are you asking me about? How is your agreement? Have you communicated with other customers?"

"Let's talk again."

"What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about this later." Zhang Chen said with a smile, isn't this a quiet revolution? Then the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades are working hard silently.

He Hongmei almost didn't believe her ears. What she was talking about so passionately last night, why did she say "Let's talk about it again" today. What did she mean by "Let's talk about it again"?

"Are you okay?" He Hongmei asked.

"It's okay, what can I do?" Zhang Chen laughed playfully.

He Hongmei was annoyed and cursed: "Yes, I think you are fine, but you are sick!"

He Hongmei stood up after scolding and walked away angrily. Xiaoli didn't know the details. She was confused. Looking at He Hongmei's back, she asked Zhang Chen: "What's wrong with her?"

"how could I know."

"Isn't it because you're falling out of love?"

"Who do you think she is dating?"

"Yes, I spend time in the factory every day, and I don't see anyone brought here. Could it be that you are in love with someone in the factory?"

Zhang Chen burst out laughing, and Xiaoli was puzzled by his laughter again.

The market was empty. Zhang Chen stood up and decided to visit Cai Jinxiang in the Sijiqing Fabric Market.

He Hongmei left the market angrily, drove to Sanbao, and drove to the downstairs of Xiao Zhao's house. The courtyard door was closed. He Hongmei honked the horn twice. Xiao Zhao came out with Zhang Xiangbei in his arms. When he saw He Hongmei, he He shouted down:

"Xiao Feng, open the door for me."

The landlord's son walked over and opened the courtyard door. He Hongmei walked in, said thank you and went upstairs.

Xiao Zhao stood in the corridor waiting for He Hongmei. The first thing He Hongmei said when she came up was: "What's wrong with my master?"

Xiao Zhao was startled and asked quickly: "What happened to your master?"

"I was in the booth earlier and asked him about the agreement. Humph, he kept talking, and kept talking. Didn't he talk well yesterday? What did he mean? What's wrong with him?"

Xiao Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "He is revolutionizing."

"What?"

"He is revolutionizing, and he wants to revolutionize quietly."

"What are you talking about!" He Hongmei was so anxious that she even spoke Sichuan dialect.

Xiao Zhao asked her to sit down, and then told He Hongmei exactly what Zhang Chen said to her last night, not last night, but early this morning. After hearing this, He Hongmei cursed, "This is not a shameful thing." Come out and listen, keep talking, huh!

Xiao Zhao said: "He probably just wants to open the store and show you what the saying goes. Facts speak louder than words. That's probably what he wants."

"Sister, he is confused, and so are you. He is right to think this way. Why don't you point it out? You don't know how to make clothes. If you delay for ten days now, you will delay a season. If you delay a season, it will cost you a lot. How much less money will you make?”

He Hongmei stood up and said, "No, I have to leave."

"Where are you going?" Xiao Zhao asked.

"Back to Chongqing, I will go back to Chongqing today. Opening a store is a big deal. I must go back and convince my family in person. I don't care if other places can open it, and I don't care if you can open it. We in Chongqing must do this. Do it." He Hongmei shouted.

"Okay, then leave quickly." Xiao Zhao shouted.

"Give me a hug."

He Hongmei pointed at Zhang Xiangbei, and Xiao Zhao handed Zhang Xiangbei to her. Zhang Xiangbei laughed when he saw He Hongmei. He Hongmei said, "It's so cute, sister, or let me take her to Chongqing."

"How dare you!" Xiao Zhao cursed.

He Hongmei giggled. She kissed Zhang Xiangbei, returned him to Xiao Zhao, and went downstairs in a hurry.

Zhang Chen came back from Cai Jinxiang and walked into the stall. He saw He Hongmei sitting there. When He Hongmei saw him coming in, she slapped the table and cursed: "Why do you look down on people so much?"

Zhang Chen asked curiously: "Why do I look down on others?"

"Do you think you are the only smart person in the world and everyone else is stupid?"

Zhang Chen was scolded by He Hongmei inexplicably, and he didn't know how he offended her.

"Sister Xiao Zhao told me everything." He Hongmei bit her lip, her eyes turning red.

Zhang Chen understood.

"It's obviously a good thing, why didn't you tell me? If you keep talking to me again and again, you are just perfunctory, saying, don't you look down on people? What do you mean?"

Zhang Chen quickly said: "It's really not the case. I think that if you ask the general agent like this, the investment of the general agent will be too big, and I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it. Well, I also feel that I can't open this mouth, so I thought, myself Let’s open the flagship store in Hangzhou first so that you can have a look and feel confident.”

Hearing what Zhang Chen said, He Hongmei's face finally softened and she said:

"Are you stupid? Everyone is in business. No one knows how to settle accounts. You are a general agent in one region. Why do you still want to play chess across the country? Do what you can think of and what is acceptable first. Don't do what you can't figure out. It’s better to do it the original way and give them time to think about it, isn’t that enough?”

"Yes, you are right to criticize." Zhang Chen said quickly. He felt that what He Hongmei said really made sense.

"Also, you haven't communicated with others, how do you know that others can't accept it? Are you too arbitrary? Is there any problem with communication? If communication fails, people will not even do business with you?" He Hongmei Continue to curse.

"Yes, you're right." Zhang Chen kept nodding.

"Call all the packagers and tell them what happened. If you can convince one more, you will succeed."

"What do you mean by convincing one more person?"

"I have already bought a ticket to return to Chongqing at around three o'clock in the afternoon. I will convince my family. If you have the guts, let's compare it to see which one is your store in Hangzhou or ours in Chongqing."

Zhang Chen shouted excitedly: "Really?"

"Of course, if we open it first, we will be the flagship store of 'Half Mu Tian', and your Hangzhou store will be the grandson store and the turtle son store."

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "What if we from Hangzhou come out first?"

He Hongmei giggled: "Then we are the Chongqing head office of 'Half Acre Field'."

Before leaving, He Hongmei told Zhang Chen again not to forget to call everyone and explain the truth to them clearly.

Zhang Chen said yes.

"Have you ever thought about it, no matter where it is, as long as one or two stores are opened across the country, it will serve as a model, and other places will follow, not just in Hangzhou." He Hongmei said, " You are opening the store by yourself in Hangcheng. If our general agent succeeds, it will be more convincing than your own store."

"Okay, this time you are my master again." Zhang Chen said sincerely.

After He Hongmei left, Ayong came over after a while and told Zhang Chen that there is a place on Yan'an Road, just past Zhejiang Medical University towards Wulin Square. There is a building that is the sales department of Yiming Food Factory. , my friend’s old man is the director of a food factory.

"How big is that place?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It's a two-story house and it's old." A Yong said.

"It doesn't matter if you're old. I used to be a decorator and I'm good at it. How old are you?"

"One floor has 300 square meters of hair."

"That's ok, how much does it cost per year?"

"It's definitely not expensive to rent a rundown house like this. However, they don't seem to want to rent it. They say they want to sell it. My friend asked his old man to discuss it with a few other people. That rundown factory doesn't even have wages now. If they can’t pay it out, they want to sell it to pay their wages.”

“Can’t rent also be used to pay wages?”

"The rent is only a few yuan, so I'm afraid that if I pay a year's rent, it will be gone after one or two months of salary. If I sell it, I can survive for a year or two."

As A Yong was talking, the phone in his stall rang. He hurried back to answer the phone. After answering the phone, he came back and told Zhang Chen that his friend called and said that several factory leaders had discussed it and still refused to rent. , saying that it would be too troublesome to rent out a few people in the sales department and still want to sell it.

"How much does it cost?" Zhang Chen asked.

A Yong shook his head and said, "I didn't ask, why would you buy that kind of shabby house?"

"Can I go take a look?"

Ayong said, "Let's see if there is no problem. Should I ask my friend to wait for us there?"

Zhang Chen said yes.

They arrived at the sales department of Yiming Food Factory. This place was right in the middle of Yan'an Road, not far from Zhejiang Medical University. It should be said to be the most deserted place on Yan'an Road.

Yan'an Road has two hot ends. One end is close to Jiefang Road, where there are Jiebai, Hong Kong Clothing Store and Federation of Trade Unions Building. It is the busiest place in Hangzhou. The other end leads to Wulin Square, where there are International Building, Hangcheng Building and Huanbei Small Commodity Market. It is another lively place in Hangzhou, but in the middle, it seems a bit deserted.

There is also a row of flower beds in front of this sales department, which separates it from Yan'an Road. The house is similar to the Red Flag Hotel, and it should be a pre-liberation building.

Zhang Chen and A Yong were watching outside, and A Yong's friend also arrived on a bicycle.
