NOVEL NEXT Chapter 86 Wealth 1.57 million yuan
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Bai came to his shopping mall.
At a glance, there are crowds of people outside the mall and it is very lively.
Throughout the mall, bustling customers crowded every corner.
There are more and more customers, gathering in a rush and flooding into the mall. Security personnel have to control the flow of people. This is what Fang Bai explained clearly yesterday. If the mall is too crowded, the flow of people must be controlled.
At this time, the interior of the mall was busy, and the salespeople in front of each electrical appliance display area were busy explaining the products to customers.
In front of the cashier, there are already some customers queuing up to pay.
There are many people watching, but few buying. Most of them come to join in the fun.
Outside the mall, Li Meng had already started her singing performance. Three to four hundred spectators gathered around the stage, waiting to give out candy or gifts.
Fang Bai was curious and went over to take a look. He still couldn't squeeze into the inner circle, but he could hear a few aunts shouting hello from time to time.
"Hey, the actor's technical level is still a bit behind."
Fang Bai sighed, these aunts didn't know how to applaud at the right time, and they even joined in the fight for gifts. Two pounds of eggs couldn't satisfy their appetite at all.
However, the lively scene had already achieved Fang Bai's goal, and he didn't care about the eggs anymore.
After watching for a while, Fang Bai walked into the mall and looked at the sales in each area. The best-selling product was the gas stove.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and no one wants to burn firewood. Families with certain conditions are eyeing gas stoves.
Fang Bai purchased four brands, including Yuli, Huowang, Weili, and Triumph. There are single or double stoves with prices ranging from more than 200 yuan to more than 1,000 yuan. The purchase price is only half of the selling price.
Fang Bai guessed that this one would be easy to sell, so he purchased nearly a thousand units and asked the salesman. So far, more than a dozen units have been sold.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, a truck stopped outside the mall. It seemed that the goods had arrived.
Some goods arrived late. This is the last load and will not affect overall sales.
The hottest sales area is the old TV area. Everyone is greedy for cheap, and many citizens come here specifically to buy cheap TVs.
The previous stall had not been open for a long time, so Fang Bai's mother asked someone to put up a sign there, saying that it had been moved to a new mall.
Near the pier, Fang Bai also rented a place to set up a billboard to promote the electrical appliances mall.
The opening of the electrical appliances mall today also attracted some colleagues to come and inquire about the news. Seeing how popular the mall was, I was still a little jealous, not to mention that they had relevant backgrounds. The leader of the Bureau of Works and Moisture came to cut the ribbon in person, and there were also many security guards, all of them strong. We also wear professional security protection to prevent gangsters from causing trouble.
Look at the cashier. The robber wanted to steal money. He probably shed tears when he saw the protective measures at the cashier. He couldn't even reach into the counter. The doors were all locked.
Each shopping mall has clearly divided areas, advanced and luxurious decoration, and bright shopping malls, just like a shopping paradise.
The audience who came in couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the decoration of the mall.
Unexpectedly, the owner of this shopping mall thinks so carefully and has strong financial resources. It is not comparable to ordinary electrical appliance shopping malls.
By around two o'clock in the afternoon, the popularity was even greater.
The employees in the shopping mall were so busy that they were sweating profusely, constantly replenishing, sorting, and cleaning. They didn't even have time to drink water.
At the cashier, more and more people were queuing up to pay.
At the gate, customers carry their newly purchased goods and wait for security to check their tickets before they can move out of the mall.
All sold goods are packed and stamped, and inspection only takes a while.
If it’s not stamped, it’s definitely not for sale and maybe it’s a thief.
No, three o'clock in the afternoon is also the busiest time in the mall.
At the gate guard, an aunt was carrying a 14-inch color TV box out of the mall. She was stopped by the security guard at the exit and started shouting with the security guard.
"Sister, please give me the shopping ticket?"
The aunt looked arrogant and shouted very dissatisfied: "Ah, what shopping ticket?
I've paid, but I'm not allowed to take away the things I bought. Why is your mall like this? "
"Sister, I guess you haven't figured it out yet. Just ask other customers. All the goods sold have their packaging boxes stamped and invoices. If not, they definitely can't be taken out of the door."
"Hmph, you guys didn't give me a stamp. Do you blame me? Anyway, I paid the money and I want to take the things away."
The security guard still stopped the aunt and explained: "That's impossible. Customers have to go to the counter to pay first and get the payment slip. We have bottoms at the cashier for verification."
Fang Bai heard a commotion at the gate and saw the guard and an aunt arguing. He walked over to find out what was going on.
The security guard roughly told him the situation, and Fang Bai nodded and praised the security guard for a job well done.
"Who are you young man? Can you make the decision?"
"Auntie, I'm the person in charge of the mall. Check to see if you forgot to pay. We can check the account, and we can also ask the salesperson you contacted if they have billed you.
In addition, we have cameras installed here. Check the recording to know whether you have paid.
I guess I still don’t understand what a camera is. It’s just like filming a movie. It can monitor everyone’s activities at the scene.
Auntie, do you think we should check the accounts and monitoring together? "Fang Bai showed a professional smile. There were dozens of spectators watching the show. As the person in charge, he must smile to deal with such petty theft.
It's newly opened today. Fang Bai doesn't want to cause trouble, he just wants to get a good result smoothly.
But if the aunt is not sensible, then he will call the police directly and send the aunt to jail.
Of course he didn't install a camera. He couldn't buy camera equipment for the time being, so people probably didn't understand what a camera was.
The surrounding audience probably knew what happened. After hearing what Fang Bai said, it seemed that they could find out the past situation.
Some customers who picked up the goods thought it was not lively enough and said, "That's right. The mall stamped my purchase and the invoice was given to me. The salesperson also reminded me. This lady probably wants to get something for nothing."
"Yes, boss, you are young and inexperienced, don't let people like this steal your things." Some viewers interrupted, saying that the matter was not big enough.
Fang Bai just smiled and looked directly at the aunt in front of him.
"Humph, I've paid anyway. I'll go talk to your salesperson." The aunt was panicked. After hearing what people around her said, she didn't have an advantage at all. She quickly moved back to the TV exit gate, and then moved back to the original place. Leaving the mall in despair.
After Fang Bai passed this incident, he still asked Jingtian to prepare some signs with the words "Camera Surveillance in the Mall", which would be useful to scare petty thieves.
Time passed quietly, and soon it was seven o'clock in the evening. There were still some customers selecting products. Fang Bai informed him that he had to extend the shopping time, and at the same time informed the security guard that he could only go out but not go in again.
At the same time, Fang Bai's mother began to reconcile the accounts.
At nearly eight o'clock in the evening, it was finally time to close.
Today, everyone just ate lunch in a hurry, and they haven't eaten dinner yet.
Fang Bai went to the hotel to reserve a table, and all the mall staff had dinner together.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Fang Bai and his parents went home with two large bags of cash.
Liu Fengqing has checked and posted the accounts, and today's total revenue is 345,000 yuan.
Among them, 151 old TVs were sold, 11 new TVs, 45 gas stoves, 19 washing machines, 16 refrigerators...
About one-third of the customers who purchased electrical appliances have recharged their membership, with a recharge balance of more than 30,000 yuan.
Overall, today’s marketing campaign was a success.
Old TVs have the highest gross profit, and other appliances earn half and half on average.
In other words, today's gross profit exceeds 200,000 yuan.
This gross profit is indeed exaggerated. Thirty years later, if this sales volume has a gross profit of 70,000 yuan, it will be quite good.
Liu Fengqing saw the business in the mall was booming and laughed all day long. Now she was tired of laughing and didn't want to laugh anymore. After talking all day, she didn't want to talk anymore.
The whole family was tired, chatted for a while, took a shower and went to bed.
The next day, the activities continued as usual.
Only a few dozen old TVs were sold, but sales of other appliances rose.
The main reason is that many customers did not bring cash yesterday, and those who had planned to buy old TVs had been waiting for so many days and finally waited until the mall opened to continue buying.
There is even a phenomenon of reselling refurbished TVs, that is, buying them back and then selling them to unsuspecting people to make a profit on the price difference.
A 21-inch color TV can be bought for 1,100 yuan and sold for 1,500 yuan, and there are still people who want it.
There are only a hundred or so refurbished TVs in stock, and they will definitely be sold out during the Spring Festival.
On this day, the revenue was also 250,000 yuan.
The third day, February 12th, was already the 28th day of the New Year.
The popularity was worse than yesterday, and revenue dropped to 186,000 yuan.
On the fourth day, revenue plummeted to only 125,000 yuan.
Fang Bai understands that tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and citizens are busy purchasing new year's goods.
Sure enough, the fifth day was New Year's Eve, and there were not many people buying electrical appliances. Fang Bai informed that the store would close at 5 p.m.
When the accounts were checked at closing time, the revenue for this day was only 85,000 yuan.
Fang Bai thinks it's not bad. If it weren't for the Spring Festival, a turnover of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a day would be considered good.
After all, there are still only a few families with money to buy electrical appliances these days. Shopping malls seem busy, but few people are looking to buy.
In five days, the total turnover reached 991,000 yuan, and the gross profit exceeded 500,000 yuan, mainly from old TVs.
Two batches of TVs, with only about fifty units left in stock.
Fang Bai did not carefully calculate the profit, but his personal wealth rose to 1.57 million yuan. This was the wealth before tax. After tax, it was even less.
