Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

The customer who bought clothes twisted his body in front of the fitting mirror and looked left and right, then took off his clothes with disgust and threw them to Su Baile: "I don't like this color very much."

Su Baile was not in a hurry, and quickly said: "Sister, your skin looks dark, it's really inappropriate to wear this dark color, why don't you change to a white one?"

"White ones are not stain-resistant. I don't know when to wash them in winter. I don't want them."

After leaving this sentence, the other party went straight out the door.

The business failed, so Su Baile hung up the clothes and asked Cheng Xiaoming, "What did you want to tell me just now?"

Cheng Xiaoming slapped his mouth to the next door: "Is the shop next door not doing business today?"

Su Baile rolled his eyes at him: "Whether the business is successful or not is none of your business, you should take care of your own business first."

They are now in a situation where they have nothing to do with their neighbors. How could she care about each other's business.

"Did you know that they started activities today."

Su Baile's face was calm, "I knew it a long time ago, their first store was holding an event yesterday."

As she said that, her face was full of disdain: "It's a good thing they figured it out, and the padded clothes are [-]% off. It's really sick."

Cheng Xiaoming corrected her: "Today, their three stores are holding activities."

Su Baile finally sensed something was wrong: "You mean, their second store will hold events soon?"

Immediately he cursed viciously: "This damn country bumpkin, why are you always against us!"

After scolding, he glared at Cheng Xiaoming again.

She didn't think it before, but now the more she sees Cheng Xiao, the more she feels that he is useless.

He used to be just a fruit seller, and it's only been a while since he opened three stores in a row.

Although it is said that they are all partnerships, they can save face when they say it!

It's not like me, I have worked so hard for so many years, if it weren't for being suppressed by them so much that I couldn't hold my head up, it would be impossible to open a store again.

Cheng Xiaoming said embarrassingly: "Lele, I was thinking, can we also hold an event?"

"No." Su Baile flatly refused without even thinking about it, "If they want to hold an event, they can just do it. What are we doing to join in the fun?"

"Then do you know how much our new store sold today?"

Su Baile looked at him: "How much?"

Immediately, he opened the bag he brought over and flipped through the money inside.

Seeing her flipping through the bag deftly, Cheng Xiaoming said helplessly: "Don't count, there is no business at all in the new store today, they have all taken it away."

Su Baile's hands froze, and he looked at him in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"From the moment they played the tape, the new store didn't sell a single piece of clothing."

"If it hadn't been opened in the morning, otherwise I would definitely not be able to sell a single piece of clothing today."

Su Baile became anxious immediately: "Then tell me how much you sold today."

"I only sold three pieces of clothes in total, and I didn't even earn back the rent and labor of the store."

Su Baile was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "I said why the big guys didn't buy any clothes when they came to try on them today. I dare say this is the reason."

"So, I just want to discuss it with you. Let's hold an event in the next two days. Otherwise, the business will be taken away by them. Let's drink the northwest wind?"

"The idea is a good idea, but you have to let me think about it."

Su Baile didn't know what to do.

No matter in terms of scale or quantity, she couldn't compare to the other party.

The old store has only one facade, but they have four.

After finally opening a new store with four doors, the other party immediately opened a new store with seven doors opposite her.

And they don't open early or late, and they don't sign the contract until they sign the contract and pay the rent.

He even opened the business ahead of him.

After they opened their own business, they had already grabbed more than half of the business, so that they couldn't make a lot of money even when they opened their new store.

A discerning person can see that they are targeting themselves.

"What else is there to think about?"

Cheng Xiaoming frowned, "If we don't fight back now, will you just watch them block our escape route?"

"Do you know how many clothes they sold today?"

Su Baile gave him a blank look: "How would I know."

Cheng Xiaoming said: "As long as people enter their store, they should carry at least one bag when they come out."

"Just one piece of clothing in a bag, they sold at least 130 pieces of clothing today."

130 pieces of clothing may not seem like much, but what if the unit price of one piece of clothing is 40 yuan?

Calculated at 35 yuan, they sold at least 500 yuan today.

Su Baile took a breath: "How do you know?"

Cheng Xiaoming raised the paper in his hand: "We have no business, I sat at the door and watched them take notes one by one."

Su Baile snatched it over and took a look, only to see more than 20 orthographic characters densely written on it.

At this moment, Su Baile was shaken.

She asked Cheng Xiaoming uncertainly: "Do you really think that engaging in activities can revitalize our business?"

"If you don't try it, you will definitely be out of luck. If you try, there may be a glimmer of hope."

Su Baile nodded: "That's fine, then let's hold an event. It's just that we don't have a radio now, and we can't even advertise if we want to."

"Then we'll be in the newspaper."

Su Baile was unhappy: "Cheng Xiaoming, you have too much money and nowhere to spend it or something, why do you still want to publish in the newspaper?"

How can there be a newspaper to advertise in business?

What a no brainer.

"Then what do you say?"

"It's not easy. We use red paper to write a [-]% discount for the audience. I don't believe we will still be in this situation."

"Can this work?"

Cheng Xiaoming was skeptical.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Su Baile's way, but that there are still many people who are illiterate.

An illiterate person would not notice the details in the ad at all.

But always like clothes is different.

They have long been prepared to advertise, and even in normal times, the music in their store has never been interrupted.

"Why can't it work?" Su Baile is very confident, "We don't know when we will get the radio even if we go to buy it now, why not use this method to advertise."

Cheng Xiaoming thought for a while, "That's fine, just do as you say, I'll write it now."

"Come on, your chicken paw-like characters, I don't want to post them even if you can write them. I'd better leave this kind of thing to the couplet writers at the gate of Xinhua Bookstore."

The so-called skill industry has specialization, Cheng Xiaoming's handwriting is ugly, and her handwriting is not much better.

She hasn't even studied for a few years, and she can't write many words. It's better to pay a few cents for a professional to do it.

"That's fine, just do as you say. I'll write it right away."

Cheng Xiaoming left these words and went to Xinhua Bookstore, but Su Baile didn't stop him this time.
