The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 88 Profits
Wang Gang was sitting in the shop, looking at the people coming and going on the street outside, Zhao Zihao was standing outside, selling with all his might, but there were still not many people entering the shop.

Many people came in to have a look, asked the price and walked out.

Three days after opening the shop, Wang Gang was very puzzled that he hadn't made a fortune.

Zhao Zihao seemed a little tired, so he walked into the shop and sat beside Wang Gang, drinking some water.

Neither of them spoke, and neither was in a good mood.

Wang Gang finally stood up and said to Zhao Zihao, "I'll go around."

After leaving the shop, Wang Gang walked towards Wangfujing Street, where the flow of people was larger and more lively.

The location of the shop that Zhao Zihao found was very good, next door was Wangfujing Street. Originally, Wang Gang thought that with the traffic of Wangfujing Street, their shop should be making money every day.

After Wang Gang walked around, he walked back to his shop, and wanted to understand the reason for his bleak business.

"I know the reason why we have no business." Wang Gang said to Zhao Zihao.

"What's the reason?" Zhao Zihao asked anxiously.

"It's because we're too far ahead. People nowadays can't accept things from private shops." Wang Gang sighed.

Zhao Zihao is still puzzled?

Wang Gang patiently explained: "We are the first private store on this street. Most of the other stores are state-owned, even the restaurants are state-owned."

Zhao Zihao was puzzled and said, "Is it so important to be private or state-run?"

Wang Gang said: "It takes time for people to accept new things. In the past, there were only two ways for people to buy things, either to go to state-run shopping malls, or to go to the black market.

Now suddenly there is another way, and it will take time to accept it. "

Zhao Zihao anxiously said: "When will we wait? The cost of opening a store is not low, and rent, water and electricity cost money!"

Wang Gang thought for a while and said: "You will do something later, find some trustees to pretend to be customers, try to find as many people as possible, don't be afraid to spend money."

Zhao Zihao was not stupid, he immediately understood what Wang Gang meant, and immediately ran out to find someone.

Wang Gang also underestimated Zhao Zihao's ability to act. In less than an hour, Zhao Zihao recruited more than 20 people, pretending to be customers, to buy clothes and shoes.

Among them are Zhao Zihao's wife and children, Niu Meilan and Zhao Duojin.

As soon as there were more people in the shop, it immediately attracted many people to come and watch.

"Sister, are the things in this store okay? You won't have any trouble buying them, right?"

"Okay! His family is a formal business, the state allows it, and does it have a license?" Niu Meilan pretended to be a customer and explained to others.

"Look, how beautiful his clothes are, you can't buy them anywhere else."

"My son likes this kind of jeans very much. I heard that his classmates have them, so I insist on buying them for him."

With these customers who pretended to buy, many people were attracted, and they were very moved when they saw the clothes and shoes in the store.

Wang Gang came out at this time and said to the customer: "Our goods are all shipped from Yangcheng, and they are the most popular styles nowadays.

The quality of our leather shoes is better, they are all made of real cowhide. "

Customers were moved by the products one by one, and they began to be driven by watching those who paid without hesitation.

The business of the store gradually improved.

Wang Gang asked Zhao Zihao to find some different entrustments every day, and for seven days in a row, he managed to bring the store into flames.

Soon there was a saying in Sijiu City that if you want to buy the most popular clothes or shoes at the moment, you have to go to "Taohuo Wang".

All the goods in Wang Gang's store are carefully selected. There is no doubt about the quality. The price is slightly lower than that of the state-run store.

After surviving the first few days, the shopkeeper king became like a cloud, and Zhao Zihao was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut every day.

The best sellers of "Taohuo Wang" are women's leather shoes. Those latest styles of leather shoes soon attracted a group of young girls to buy them.

After a busy month, Wang Gang and Zhao Zihao sat down to reconcile accounts and found that their monthly turnover exceeded 10 yuan, which shocked them both.

"You did your calculations right! With a turnover of [-] yuan, you made a net profit of [-] yuan after deducting costs?" Zhao Zihao looked at the ledger in disbelief.

"You didn't calculate the tax, after deducting the tax, the profit is almost more than 2!" Wang Gang said flatly.

"That's not a lot. If we divide it equally, we can earn 12 a month, or [-] a year." Zhao Zihao exaggerated.

"It's not like you haven't made so much money before, why are you excited?" Wang Gang laughed.

"Can it be the same? We used to be afraid to spend the money we earned in the black market, but now we earn legal money." Zhao Zihao said.

Wang Gang said with a smile: "Let me discuss something with you. I see that there are still many vacant shops next to us. You can contact the street to see if they can be rented together."

Zhao Zihao said, "I'll go right away."

Wang Gang stopped the excited Zhao Zihao, and said with a smile, "What time is it now, and the street offices are off work."

"Yes yes yes, you see I am overly happy." Zhao Zihao laughed.

"I see that the business is getting better and better now. I plan to rent two more shops. In the future, I will separate clothes, trousers and shoes. One shop specializes in shoes, one shop specializes in clothes, and the other specializes in trousers." Wang Gang said.

"Can we come over to the three shops?" Zhao Zihao asked.

"We still need to invite people. I've thought about it. If we invite some young and beautiful girls to sell our products, the effect should be good." Wang Gang said.

"Young and beautiful girl." Zhao Zihao seemed to have thought of something, and was a little out of his depth.

Wang Gang ignored him and continued, "I'm going to Yangcheng in two days to find more cooperative brands and try to make our store have as many items as possible."

The two discussed it and split up, focusing on business.

Soon "Taohuowang" became three stores, namely Taohuowang Clothing Store, Taohuowang Shoes Store and Taohuowang Trousers Store.

The three stores are next to each other, and the decoration style is exactly the same, so people can tell that they are the same owner at a glance.

Zhao Zihao signed a rental contract with the street office. The rent for each shop is 100, and the rent will increase by 5% every year for ten years.

The business of Taohuo Wang’s three stores is getting more and more popular, and there are more and more private stores in Sijiu City. Some of them buy clothes and shoes like Wang Gang, and some run restaurants. The spring breeze of re-opening has completely blown into Sijiu. city.

The 80 years have passed very quickly. Wang Gang and Zhao Zihao ushered in the Spring Festival while they were busy, and the three shops of Taohuo Wang also closed for seven days because of the Spring Festival.

On New Year's Eve, it was rare for Wang Gang to get together with his family.

This year, Wang Gang's family is planning to go back to Dazayuan for Chinese New Year, and it happens that his master Liu Xianjin's family is also there.

Wang Gang's family put on new clothes and walked into the courtyard with new year's goods, which immediately attracted the attention of all neighbors.

"Xiao Wang, you are back!" Yan Bugui greeted Wang Gang's family as soon as he saw them.

"Hey, the clothes on your family are so beautiful, did they buy them from the shopkeeper king?"

After Wang Gang resigned, he kept a low profile. Few people knew that he was the boss of Taohuowang.

"Third Lord, you also know the king of treasures?" Wang Gang pretended to be stupid and said in a daze.

"Who in Forty-Nine City doesn't know now, if you want to buy the latest style of clothes, you have to go to Amoy King." Yan Bugui said:
"It's just that the things there are too expensive, so I dare not go."
