My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 485: Joy and Worry

October 3th, Sunday.

After a week of preparation, the boss's digital store is finally about to officially open.

Early in the morning, Xu Dong drove his father, mother, Ma Lingling and Da Jie to the Apple Digital Store together. The opening of the store is a great event, so he must come to congratulate him and help out.

The opening of a new store has a large flow of people, and it is good to have one more person to help.

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, you are here."

Xu Jingyi ran over to say hello.

"How are the preparations?"

Mother Xu said with concern.

Xu Jingyi smiled and nodded: "It's almost ready, the official opening at nine o'clock."

Ma Lingling and Da Jie carried a small flower basket and placed it at the door of the shop. The delicate flowers and the bursts of fragrance attracted many passers-by.

In the current environment, flowers are not common.

Ordinary people who want to watch flowers can only go to Yanjing Botanical Garden, where there are stretches of giant glass greenhouses and even a small forest.

Driven by the botanical garden, the housing prices nearby have risen a lot, almost at the same level as the main city.

You know, the botanical garden is located in the northwest suburbs, and its development potential lags far behind that of the central city. .

"Sister Jingyi, can I put the flower basket here?"

"Just put it there, what a beautiful flower basket!"

Xu Jingyi couldn't help admiring.

Mama Xu said with a smile, "The flower basket was made by your aunt. The flowers were picked just this morning."

"Is it grown at home?"

"Look at what you're asking, you can't buy flowers outside!" Xu Ma said with a proud face.

Hearing movement at the door, Xu Bin and his wife walked out curiously.

"Boss, do you sell flower baskets?"

A passer-by tried to ask.

Xu Bin was confused for a moment: "Flower basket? What kind of flower basket?"

Ma Lingling hurriedly shouted:
"Uncle, we brought the flower basket here."

Xu Bin looked at the flower basket at the door, and immediately felt that he had a lot of face. Whoever opened a business has this kind of treatment. Although their store is not big, it is of high grade!
"Sorry, flower baskets are not for sale. The small shop opens today. Mobile phones, computers, laptops, all products are [-]% off. Don't miss it when you pass by!"

"It's really [-]% off, you won't increase the price and then discount it?"

Some people immediately expressed doubts. In fact, this is not difficult to understand. The current electronic product market is very hot. It cannot be said that the supply exceeds the demand, but it is also booming.

Under such circumstances, it is really unreasonable for merchants to be willing to give up [-]% of the profits.

"Is it true? You will find out when you go in and have a look later. Our new store is open, and the discount is only available today."

Passers-by were suddenly full of interest.

After a while, more and more people gathered at the door. Looking at the surging crowd, Xu Bin was full of energy and expectation.

Tan Aifang personally invited Xu Dong and others into the store, leaving Xu Jingyi alone at the door, looking at the flower baskets while maintaining order at the door.

If no one is watching, the flowers will probably be wiped out in less than 1 minutes.

"Dad, Mom, this is my brother's child, the Bangxiang I mentioned to you."

Tan Bangxiang was a little shy, chatted briefly with everyone, and then hurried away.

Xu Dong walked around the store. Although the decoration of the store is not good, the products are quite complete, and you can basically find general electronic products.

Xu Bin was on the side, and asked in a slightly smug tone: "Third brother, what do you think of my shop?"

"That's right, do you have three packs of goods in the store?"

"There is only one package, and the big one has a one-year warranty. It is a second-hand product. If it is replaced or refunded, I will not lose money."

"Why doesn't the shop hire a repairman?"

Xu Dong was puzzled.

In his impression, most digital stores have maintenance business, and the profit of maintenance is not lower than that of selling the whole machine, and some are much higher.

Xu Bin waved his hand: "No need, I have already discussed with Mr. Ye, and directly outsourced the maintenance service to Changming Company, and I don't care about the after-sales service here."

"Boss, the maintenance profit is not low, are you really willing?" Xu Dong couldn't help reminding.

"If you give up, you can get something. If we don't have technology, we won't make this money. Dad also said, let's do word-of-mouth first."

Xu Dong nodded and didn't say anything else. Since the boss was very open, he didn't want to be a villain in vain.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, the digital store officially opened.

There were no firecrackers or performances, only the deafening music, and as the store opened, crowds of onlookers rushed in.

Fortunately, the counters are all closed, otherwise I really can't take care of them.

There are a total of three sets of counters in the store. There is a row of long counters on the left and right walls, and a set of oval counters in the middle.

Father Xu and Mother Xu are in charge of welcoming the guests.

Tan Bangxiang acted as the cashier.

The rest of the people were assigned to the counters, with two people in each group, otherwise they would not be busy at all.

Xu Dong received a young man here, and the other party took a fancy to a laptop that was probably new.

"The parameters can be found, you can see for yourself."

Xu Dong had never been a salesperson before, and he was not very familiar with electronic products, so he could only make do with it.

The young guy is very satisfied with the laptop, just wish the price could be a little cheaper.

"It's really cheap. It's already discounted by [-]%. If you don't believe me, go and look elsewhere. I guarantee you won't find such an affordable price."

Haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig running!
Xu Dong pretended to explain.

"Boss, I beg you, please make it cheaper! Let's round up the whole number, can [-] be okay?"

"No, I lost 2000 yuan all of a sudden, aren't you joking?"

Xu Dong firmly shook his head.

The young guy was still hesitating, but a middle-aged man next to him must have been waiting impatiently, so he said directly:

"Little brother, do you still want the laptop in your hand? If not, can you let me see it?"

People are like this, afraid of being robbed in everything, the young man immediately made up his mind:
"Boss, can you give me a keyboard?"

The keyboard is very cheap, Xu Dong agreed on the spot:

"Okay, I'll give you a keyboard as a bonus. If you're sure you want it, I'll help you bill it?"

"open it!"

The young guy gritted his teeth and said.

He is a third-year student who has worked summer jobs for three or four years, plus the lucky money from childhood to adulthood, and finally saved enough for a laptop.

He has visited many digital stores before, and this store is the best in terms of cost performance and warranty period.

Good luck today.

After 10 minutes, the young guy paid the money and finally got his favorite notebook. Xu Dong helped him pack it up, and finally told him:

"Remember to use an adapter plug when plugging in. This notebook is not from our country, and the voltage standard is different. Don't forget."

"thank you, I know now."

The young guy left with his laptop in his arms, looking very much like a big kid who bought his favorite toy.

Xu Dong couldn't help shaking his head.

Because of weather factors and the influence of radiation, more and more people have developed the attributes of nerds. They can stay at home without going out. Staying at home saves worry and effort, and saves food rations.

It is also against this background that various electronic products will continue to sell well.

Next, Xu Dong received another aunt.

The aunt wants to buy a mobile phone for her little daughter.

Xu Dong directly recommended: "Sister, your daughter is still in high school. In order not to delay her studies, I suggest you buy a functional phone."

"But what she wants is a smartphone, and she said that the smartphone can be used in college." The aunt was a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, there are too many things you can play on your smartphone, and you can also download online games. Once you become addicted to playing, I'm afraid she may not be able to use it in college."

Xu Dong said humorously.

"Oh, she's clamoring for it, but we can't help it."

Big Mom sighed.

When Xu Dong saw his aunt's long hair, he knew that her family's conditions were not ordinary, so he suggested:
"How about this, buy a feature phone and a smart phone, use the feature phone on weekdays, and let her use the smart phone on weekends and holidays."

"Hey, this method is good!"

The more Aunt thinks about it, the more she feels the best of both worlds.

Xu Dong hit the iron while it was hot: "Smartphone, what brand do you want to choose?"

"Just buy Apple, young people like it."

"Sister, you should think about it. Apple has gone bankrupt, and there may be some minor problems in the system."

"Uh, let's replace it with Xia Wei's. Xia Wei's company hasn't closed down, has it?"

Mom immediately changed her mind.

Xu Dong smiled wryly: "Sister, Xiawei Company is the most important communication equipment supplier in China, how could it go bankrupt, don't worry."

"It's fine if you can't pour it, just pick one for me!"

"Okay, then I will invoice you?"

"Let's go, let's go. By the way, help me get an extra function phone. The old man's cell phone battery is not working. Buy him a spare."

"Alright! Just a moment!"

Having made a "big deal", Xu Dong still has a sense of accomplishment.

The time flashed to eleven o'clock.

With the purchase of the last mobile phone, all the big-ticket items in the store have been sold out.

Only some small commodities and electronic accessories are still in stock, but it won't last long, because there are still a steady stream of customers coming.

In the middle, Xu Bin urgently replenished a large amount of goods from Changming Company, worth about 250 million.

It can be seen from this that the degree of popularity just now.

In the small cubicle, Tan Aifang specially made a pot of chrysanthemum tea, and then called everyone to come and rest.

"Thank you, come and drink some water."

Xu Dong was indeed a little thirsty, so he picked up a disposable cup and drank it all in one gulp: "Boss, congratulations, today's business is too hot!"

"I didn't expect there to be so many people."

"I must have made a lot of money today!"

Xu Bin said modestly: "How can I make money? It's all about losing money and making money!"

Father Xu took the opportunity to interject and asked:

"How much is the sales in the morning? How much profit can I expect?"

"Sales exceeded 3 million, Dad, didn't you ask me to cultivate word of mouth? I really don't plan to make money from this batch of goods."

Xu Bin replied truthfully.

Xu Dong was stunned: "What? Zero profit?"

"Why am I lying to you?"

"Boss, you are confused!"

Father Xu sighed, and then explained:

"Mobile phones and computers are big items, and the number of buyers is limited. If you do this today, the nearby market is saturated, so why open a shop?"

"what?"

Xu Bin was completely dumbfounded!

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
