Chapter 232 1 Thinking about the people in the village, they can be of great use
In early March, the two shops that Wang Chengnan helped apply for were officially handed over to Zhou Rong.
Both shops are close to the living area, with people coming and going, and a strong sense of life. There are no specialized vegetable shops nearby, so if people want to buy vegetables, they need to walk a long way to the vegetable market.
Zhou Rong was very satisfied with the locations of the two shops. He believed that Wang Chengnan must have put a lot of thought into it. When he found the opportunity, he would definitely thank him properly.
Zhou Rong sent a telegram to Zhou Chuanyi and others, informing them that the two shops had been delivered. He said that he would take Sun Hong, Shen Xiaomei and eight others to tidy up the shops and put up simple shelves for opening.
The specific opening time will be decided by the village and told to her...
Zhou Rong taught Sun Hong and the others simple accounting knowledge and some practical forms, and asked them to record all the expenses for store decoration, and also to record the proceeds from future sales clearly.
If there is a mistake, the villagers will think that they are cheating and will definitely not accept them as shop assistants. In order to appease people, they have no choice but to replace them.
Since the profitability of the shop is uncertain at present, if the clerks' wages are too high, it will increase operating costs, and those who are not clerks but are eyeing this position will definitely be dissatisfied.
After Zhou Rong discussed with Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing through letters, he offered Sun Hong and eight others a monthly salary of 8 yuan.
If the shop does well, I will give them a raise.
Sun Hong and others were very satisfied with the salary amount because Zhou Rong told them that they could continue to process scraps of cloth when the shop was not busy.
By this calculation, they have two jobs, and as long as they work hard, they can earn no less than the men in the family!
Zhou Rong customized several aprons of the same style for Sun Hong and her colleagues to enhance the store's image.
He also taught Sun Hong and the others how to stack goods and sales techniques, and gave them daily assessments. Whoever performed best could become a store manager and receive an extra 3 yuan in salary.
This motivation is very effective. Sun Hong and her classmates study very hard and want to compete for the position of store manager...
The store's accountants also adopt a competitive approach. Whoever calculates accounts quickly and accurately will be promoted to the position, and their monthly salary will be 1.5 yuan more than that of the clerks.
If the store clerk performs well, he will receive a bonus. The bonus amount is 2% of the store's net profit, which will be shared equally by everyone.
Zhou Rong told Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing about all these incentive measures through letters, saying that this would motivate everyone and make the shop's business better and better.
As long as it did not ask them to rebel or abdicate, Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing would obey Zhou Rong's words.
Who can blame them for being devoted to the village and knowing how to do something, why can't they do it? !
Besides, those suggestions are really beneficial to the business of the shop...
With the help of Zhou Chuanyu, the county also applied for two shops, but they will not be delivered until the end of March.
After Zhou Chuanyi received Zhou Rong's telegram, he immediately pulled Zhou Chuanjing aside to discuss the opening time.
In order to open the business as soon as possible and give hope to his fellow villagers, Zhou Chuanyi went to the county to call Zhou Rong back the next day.
"Darong, let me tell your uncle Jing to look at the calendar. The 16th is an auspicious day. It's also a Saturday, so it's suitable for opening a business. How about we open on that day?"
Zhou Rong: "Sure, uncle picked a good time. The shop has been renovated and Sister Sun Hong and the others have almost finished their training. It's just right for them to start work."
Zhou Chuanyi: "Okay, have you thought of a name for the store?"
Zhou Rong: "In the city and the county, we have four stores, called 'Unity', 'Love', 'Hand in Hand', and 'Hand in Hand'. How about that?"
Zhou Chuanyi: "...Can't we call it Zhoujiawan No. 1 Vegetable Store, No. 2 Vegetable Store, or something like that? People will know at a glance that this is our Zhoujiawan store, and it sounds more prestigious!"
Zhou Rong sighed. The advantages and disadvantages of this village chief are very obvious!
Nowadays, phone calls are all monitored, but some things have to be said.
Zhou Rong: "Uncle, we are cadres and we must always keep our thinking advanced. If the name of our shop is 'Zhoujiawan', it will appear to be an individual business, not a collective business."
Zhou Chuanyi was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and smiled awkwardly: "You are right, we opened the shop not for ourselves, but to contribute to the country's industrialization construction. The names of the shops are as you said.
Thank you for your hard work and find someone to make two signs. The village will reimburse you when the time comes.
We will organize the vegetables from the fields and the products from the mountains, send them to the city on the 15th, and open on time on the 16th!"
Zhou Rong: "Okay, bring more varieties. If you have game, you can sell it. I can discuss how to divide the money with everyone in advance.
The more things we put out, the more people will come into the store to buy, and the better our business will be.”
Zhou Chuanyi: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
The radishes, cabbages, leeks, red cabbage, lettuce, etc. that Zhou Chuanyi asked the villagers to plant years ago have grown a little, and the spring bamboo shoots and wild vegetables in the mountains have also appeared.
Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing asked the villagers to harvest all the vegetables they could, and also organized some villagers with good hunting skills to go into the mountains to hunt rabbits and pheasants.
If anyone has preserved meat, they can give it to them to sell in the city. The money is divided into 40% and 60%. The village has to pay rent and employee salaries, which takes 40%, and the family that sells the goods takes 60%.
The prey obtained from hunting in the mountains is also distributed according to this principle.
During holidays, people in the village and county would hold markets. Some people thought that they could make more money by selling on their own. They pretended not to hear Zhou Chuanyi's suggestion.
Some people thought that the opening of a shop in the village was a big deal and should be fully supported. Moreover, the selling price in the provincial capital was definitely higher than that in the countryside, so they would not suffer any loss. They handed over their own cured meat to the accountant for registration without hesitation.
Zhou Chuanyi asked the accountant to record the goods and names handed in by these people, thinking that the people in the village could be of great use...
The train ticket from the county to Jiangcheng costs 1.2 yuan. Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing both wanted to witness the opening of the shop, but also wanted to save on fares, so they only brought two strong young men with them into the city.
There were more than thirty bamboo baskets full of vegetables and game. In order to get all the goods into the city, Zhou Chuanyi prepared four large carts and asked the young men in the village to help push them to the county overnight.
Zhou Chuanyi asked an accountant to do the math for all the goods. He bought two freight tickets, and when they arrived in Jiangcheng, he spent a little money to hire porters to help unload the goods, and they would haul the goods themselves. This way, he could save more than 20 yuan!
It's just a bit tiring, but they don't care. As long as the shop opens smoothly, everything they do is worth it.
Let those who talk about them behind their backs see that they are not only good at holding meetings with their hands behind their backs, they are also good at their work!
It had been a while since they had done any heavy work, so Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing didn't think anything of it when their fellow villagers helped them push the cart.
When they arrived at the provincial capital, they had to pull the cart themselves. The heavy frame and cargo made them breathless. Only then did they realize that they were really old...
