Chapter 99
The deafening sound of firecrackers sounded, and the Metersbond Weihaizhou store was finally about to open.
The relatives who attended the family banquet last night also came to join in, naturally including the uncle and aunt.
What Li Mu didn't expect was that the two of them also presented flower baskets.
The custom of sending flower baskets for opening in Haizhou has a long history. The flower baskets are about a meter in length. The slender bamboo structure is filled with flowers. At the same time, there are two pieces of red silk hanging on it, with gold characters written on it: XXX, congratulations on the opening of the XX store Good luck.
Before the official opening, Li Mu collected nearly 100 such flower baskets.
He still knew the names of the first dozen or so people who sent the flower baskets. Uncle, Uncle, Aunt, and Aunt. These are four flower baskets. Zhao Kang sent two. own name.
Zhang Kexuan, Ye Tianming, Gu Wei, and Xia Xia, four members of the simple plan, each sent one, but they failed to arrive, so they called Li Mu one by one to explain the situation.
There is also Chen Wan, who entrusted a friend from Haizhou to deliver it in person, and also called Li Mu to congratulate her.
Then there was Song Liang, and Li Mu was not surprised either.
Another, Li Mu was a little surprised, Zhang Wanjun.
Next, is Zhang Wanjun's imposing younger brother, Lu Yong.
There were dozens of flower baskets after Lu Yong, and none of the names written on them were Li Mu.
A lot of flower baskets were placed in front of the store and Li Mu couldn't put them on the side of the road. It was really scary. Li Mu felt that he could make a lot of money selling flower baskets today, because starting from Zhang Kexuan, the flower baskets sent later were very high-end, It's big and good, and it looks like at least a few hundred dollars a piece, and it's worth at least tens of thousands.
In fact, Li Mu's opening ceremony was very simple. He prepared a piece of colorful silk and two scissors for his parents. It probably means nothing if you cut it, but Song Liang called Li Mu and said that he would like to cut it too. , Li Mu knew that he was trying to save face for himself, and it was difficult to refuse, so he had to find someone to buy a pair of scissors before the opening.
At 9:58, Song Liang stood with Li Mu's parents on time. When the three of them cut the ribbon, their positions were: Li's father was in the middle, Li's mother was on the right, and Song Liang was on the left.
Many citizens were onlookers, and the water inside and outside the third floor was blocked. On the one hand, it was because Metersbonwe finally settled in Haizhou, and on the other hand, it was also because the opening of the store was a bit exaggerated, almost 100. A flower basket, who is this going to scare to death?
What was even more shocking was still behind. The sharp-eyed recognized the three people who cut the ribbon. One of them was Song Liang, the CEO of Wanying Real Estate. A certain buddy exclaimed: "Okay, the boss of Wanying came to cut the ribbon for a clothing store. Now? What's the background of this clothing store? It's so awesome?"
Someone in the crowd said, "Dude, you are ignorant! All four of Wanying's building advertisements have been hanging on this store for several days, don't you know?"
"Oh, I just remembered when you said that, so I don't know if it's so eye-catching!"
As soon as the ribbon-cutting was over, Li's father, Li's mother, and Song Liang stepped aside, and Li Mu shouted at the top of his voice: "The Metersbon Weihaizhou store is officially open!"
So a large number of young people flocked in, and suddenly the store was like a vegetable market.
Li Mu's little aunt immediately got busy with ten salespeople. Although most of these young people watched the fun, there were also many people who tried on clothes and bought clothes. In the past, if they wanted to buy this brand, they had to go to Jinling. Now they have it at their doorstep. , Naturally, I want to come and visit, what's more, get a shoulder bag when you spend 299, and it is a drop-shaped small bag with a single room hanging diagonally behind you, with green, yellow, red and black, with an embroidered Logo, It looks gorgeous.
It was very busy inside. Outside, Li Mu thanked Song Liang and introduced his parents to him.
Li's father and Li's mother did not know how Li Mu knew such a big man in Haizhou.
However, Song Liang's attitude was very modest. He called out to uncles and aunts. He also wrote down the phone numbers of Li Mu's parents and asked them to write down their own phone numbers.
Ye Tianming once told Song Liang that after Li Mu went to school in Yanjing, he would trouble him to take care of Li Mu's parents and this store in Haizhou. Song Liang said at the time, "You think I'm stupid? you say?"
Song Liang stayed at the scene for an hour before leaving to do his own business. After Song Liang left, Li's father, Li's mother, and some relatives in the family were very curious about how Li Mu got along with Song Liang, and Li Mu said yes. A friend from Jinling introduced it, but I didn't say much about it.
Li's father and Li's mother knew that Li Mu once sold the song to the simple plan group that is now normalizing, and also heard from Li Mu that the four young people had extraordinary backgrounds, so they understood the beginning and end of Li Mu's relationship with Song Liang, but Li Mu's uncle Auntie was all at a loss, but the shock in her heart was indescribable.
Li Mu also knew that in terms of social status, he was not even a root in Haizhou, but Song Liang was the number one private entrepreneur. The gap was huge, and it was normal for others to be surprised every day.
...
At twelve o'clock noon, the ferocious flow of people was relieved a little, and the relatives in the family were also arranged by Li's father to eat at the restaurant. Li Ma and Li Mu did not rush over, but went to the cashier inside to check the morning's transaction. It is recorded that more than 260 pieces of clothes were sold in about two hours in the whole morning, the sales amount was 19,000 yuan, and 40 pieces were delivered. The three cash registers hardly stopped. , cashier, packing, almost without pause.
This sales made Li Ma stunned, but Li Mu felt that it was normal. Metersbonwe is an evergreen tree in cities below the second tier. It has been on the Haizhou fire for a while.
One afternoon, the store was full of people. From one o'clock to six o'clock in the afternoon, the fitting room had to queue for five hours, so that the shopping guides had to encourage male customers who bought T-shirts to go directly outside. When interviewing clothes, try to leave the fitting room to female customers.
For this year's Metersbonwe, there is a special series of clothes design. This series, whether it is T-shirts, skirts or the lining of jackets, uses a pattern with huge colorful flowers. The sales of this series are so good. , Even Li Mu was stunned by the purchasing power of the Haizhou people.
Five hours in the afternoon, the battle situation was about 55,000 yuan, and about 100 backpacks were sent out.
Li Mu's father and Li's mother couldn't close their mouths in excitement. Li Mu went to the bank to deposit money, and when he came back, he whispered in his mother's ear: "Mom, you will tell your aunt later that you will work overtime until ten o'clock today, and the store manager will give you A cash reward of 500 yuan, and a cash reward of 200 yuan for the shopping guide."
Although the shopping guides are already very motivated today, and their commissions can also be harvested a lot, Li Mu still feels that in this case, the boss should show something. Bonuses are considered their due income, but today's situation is special, and a good start is more important than anything else.
Mom didn't have any opinion either, she nodded, went directly to her little aunt, and told her the decision.
As for why his mother came forward, Li Mu's reason was very simple. He felt that his father had no talent for management and management, so he should focus on training his mother.
When my aunt communicated this decision to every employee, their excitement and happiness were beyond words.
In fact, in every job position, there is no shortage of people who work hard. As a boss, all they have to do is to mobilize their enthusiasm, but they can't just paint cakes. Bosses who just paint cakes are generally not too successful. I treat others as fools in my heart, but everyone is like a mirror in their hearts. Therefore, the attitude towards employees should be sincere and know how to share.
After six o'clock, there was about half an hour in the store for the shopping guides to take turns to take a breath. Li Mu's little aunt signed a meal agreement with a small restaurant not far away. The other party prepared two meals a day for thirteen people. The meat and vegetables must be accompanied by soup, which is delivered to the store at 12:00 noon and 6:00 pm every day. The employees can eat in two batches in the open space of about 34 square meters in the warehouse. As for why 11 people fixed meals for 13 people , but also to prepare more, so that no one can eat enough.
Li Mu stayed in the store for a day, in addition to lamenting how much money he made, he lamented his little aunt's thoughtfulness.
The atmosphere of the employees in the store was also very good. At the beginning, when she asked a user to pay for the bill, all the shopping guides should clap their hands and say come on, no matter what they are doing. Driven, in the afternoon, everyone really invested in it, and the cheers were also very sincere, and there was a real team spirit.
For dinner, Li Mu and his parents went to the restaurant that he cooperated with his aunt, and tasted their dishes. The taste was good, the ingredients looked fresh, and it was clean and hygienic, which was quite good.
The most important thing in starting a business is to use the right people. Even in the most common traditional retail industry, a key talent can bring qualitative changes to the development of the business. Auntie is such a key talent.
Back in the store, 7 o'clock was the busiest time on the street, and the business in the store was at its peak again.
Li Mu watched for a while near the cashier, and calculated in his heart that the peak revenue was about 9,000 yuan per hour. After observing the reasons for this peak, he realized that the peak was not a real peak, but a Barriers that are difficult to break through.
The root cause of this barrier is that the person in charge of the cash register is too busy.
One person is in charge of a cash register. He has to scan codes, collect money and change, and also help customers remove anti-theft labels from clothes. These are all good. The most time-wasting thing is to fold clothes and put them in bags and seal them. This It will take up half the time, so that the customers in the back line can only wait.
Li Mu suggested to my aunt that she should recruit three more people to be responsible for the cash register, and release all ten people to the sales positions. If necessary, they will be dispatched to help with packing, which will reduce the pressure on the cashier and shorten the checkout time for a single customer. .
The little aunt understood it, and immediately took out her small book, found three phone numbers from it, and called the other party.
These are the people who were not very suitable for sales when she was interviewed, but they seemed to be more motivated and serious. She left her contact information in case she needed it. The cashier does not need sales skills. Since you need three full-time cashiers, then Just pick three from here.
Li Mu has taken it. My little aunt has a really good way of doing things. With her as the manager of this store, I can rest assured.
