1162: Abnormal Business (4 More)
Ji Ya took Wang Mingming to measure the size in Wangfujing. Originally, she wanted to open a bottle of red wine brought back from the United States. Wang Mingming said that it would be better to save it for the celebration banquet. Ji Ya also felt that it was reasonable.
At the same time, Xia Xiaolan returned to Shichahai's house.
Liu Fen just came back from the store. She originally wanted to drive to pick up Xia Xiaolan, but Xia Xiaolan refused.
Now that I think about it, luckily I didn't go, lest I see Jiya upset.
"Xiaolan, are you back? I went to see the shops for another day today. It's only been a few months, and the rents of shops in Beijing have risen so fast!"
The bank's loan was repaid, and Xia Xiaolan also made hundreds of thousands of dollars from the renovation of the Nanhai Hotel. Now "Blue Phoenix" does not need to supply blood to Xia Xiaolan's other businesses to open a new branch.
Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen talked about it, a sheep is to be chased, and a group of sheep is also to be chased. Since the goal this year is to open five branches, then it is not necessary to get a fourth and then a fifth. It will be troublesome to decorate!
Xia Xiaolan said that she would find two stores at one time, decorate them together, and distribute goods together at that time.
Liu Fen has been looking around the store these days, and now there are several candidates, she is hesitant.
Xia Xiaolan was not surprised when she said that the rent of the shop was rising rapidly: "This year's situation is different from last year. It's all November. Believe it or not, the rent will rise again in 1986. The smart people in the world are not only us, but more and more. The more people see that self-employed people can make money, and more people rent houses, the rent will naturally rise.”
Liu Fen was deeply touched. There were so many people setting up stalls on the street. Those who could not afford to rent the storefronts sewed clothes in private houses, bought fabrics and made clothes with sewing machines, and then asked their family members to take them to the streets to set up stalls. Most of the people from Zhejiang Province go to the north. I heard that there are tens of thousands of people from Zhejiang Province living in the Muxiyuan.
Liu Fen remembered that there was pressure.
More and more people are counting on "clothing" to make money, and Blue Phoenix cannot always be the only one.
Zhejiang people will not only occupy the clothing market in the capital, taking advantage of the east wind of reform and opening up, many people in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces go out to do business. It is not surprising that businessmen from the two provinces later became kings and hegemony in the whole country. Capital accumulation was completed early.
Xia Xiaolan didn't want to go against the historical trend. Her opponents were not Zhejiang and Fujian businessmen. Those people are still dragging their families to set up stalls to accumulate the first pot of gold. Xia Xiaolan now has hundreds of thousands of cash in hand, and The three clothing stores have already walked in front of many people!
The clothing on the street stalls is aimed at some consumers, and the clothing with formal stores is aimed at some consumers with better economic conditions.
Even though 'Blue Phoenix' is not a luxury item, it is a brand of clothes from Yangcheng wholesale, but the customers of 'Blue Phoenix' must be rich people in 1985! These wealthy people come to buy clothes at the Blue Phoenix, not for durability and cheapness, but because they want to be different from what others wear, and they want styles that cannot be bought in state-run stores.
Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen positioned consumers, and Liu Fen listened very seriously.
Every time Xia Xiaolan wants to talk about it, it is based on the situation encountered. Liu Fen can only judge and deal with it calmly when she understands it herself.
"You're right, we sell our own style, don't care what others sell. Except for the expensive rent, several stores are fine, so you can help choose. By the way, you said Luna is going to advertise? Xiao Chen invited Wang Mingming, who sang on the Spring Festival Gala, right?"
Xia Xiaolan shook her head, "I was about to tell you about this. Wang Mingming couldn't shoot the commercial anymore. She was invited by Ji Ya. I think Ji Ya did it on purpose. She may have a big move against our business. Don't you feel that the business in the store is unusual?"
Xia Xiaolan has not cared about the business of the clothing store for a long time. If Ji Ya has any action, she can't hide it from Liu Fen.
Liu Fen also knows that Ji Yana's character can hate mother and daughter, but she doesn't regret following Tang Hongen to the wedding scene. If she doesn't go to Ji Ya, she won't like her and Xiaolan. The mother and daughter can live comfortably and not. Need to see Ji Ya's wink.
Liu Fen now dares to offend people.
In the past, no one dared to offend anyone who was submissive, and would still be bullied.
Now when she encounters something she doesn't like, she will express her "dislike", but fewer people come to her and grin. It was said that Sheng Xuan a few days ago came to the store to buy clothes and was polite. Liu Fen later analyzed for two reasons: First, Sheng Xuan is different from the vixen in the countryside. Sheng Xuan has a culture and a job. Also have a face. Second, she is not easy to bully herself. She makes money and spends herself, and she is not supported by Tang Hongen with money. Why should others come out and despise her!
Liu Fen was also very annoyed when Xiaolan said that Ji Ya had robbed Wang Mingming who was shooting an advertisement for Luna, she calmed down and thought about it. Something is wrong:
"I found that the two stores next to Xidan and Xiushui Street have been rented out recently and are now being renovated."
Others see that Blue Phoenix's business is good, and it is normal to follow the trend to open a store next to it. Although Liu Fen found out that someone was decorating, he didn't think much about it.
When asked by Xia Xiaolan, she realized something was wrong.
Xia Xiaolan also felt something was wrong, but she wasn't sure whether the shop was rented by Ji Ya, "Mom, I'll accompany you to the Drum Tower now."
The mother and daughter were not in the mood to finish the meal, just as Grandma Yu steamed the buns at home, they left with a pair of buns alone. Min Xiaoju and Liu Fen were inseparable. She would be great if she brought dinner. Grandma Yu steamed 20 steamed buns, all of them the size of an adult man's fist, with thin skin and a lot of stuffing. When she took a bite, they were thin dough and porcelain. Xia Xiaolan can eat 2 of these meat buns, and Min Xiaoju can eat 12!
Min Xiaoju ate most of the meat buns in a cage, she felt embarrassed.
"Sister Liu, call me in the car in the future!"
Xia Xiaolan hadn't seen Min Xiaoju's ability yet, but she heard that she could drive, and thought it would be good to find a driver for Liu Fen. He really gave Min Xiaoju the car to drive. Min Xiaoju may have secretly practiced with Citroen, and he is quite proficient at driving.
Xia Xiaolan changed positions with Min Xiaoju and gave the driver's seat to Min Xiaoju.
The three of them arrived at the 'Blue Phoenix' store in the Drum Tower. The store hadn't closed at night. The clerks saw Liu Fen turning back and had no time to greet the boss. Business is still good now. shopping for clothes.
The store next to the Gulou branch has not been renovated, but there are signs of construction on the opposite side. Some workers are working overtime at night. Liu Fen is surprised: "I didn't see it during the day."
Xia Xiaolan already knew, "It's not that you didn't see it during the day, you have been busy these days, and it was afternoon when you came here. What I thought was to quickly finish checking the accounts on the Gulou side and deposit the business money to go home, but I didn't notice it. This movement on the opposite side."
Xia Xiaolan asked Liu Fen to pay attention to the decoration style of the other two places tomorrow. If Ji Ya wants to build a brand, the decoration style of the store should be unified!
