Chapter 80 Imminent
the next morning,
Fang Bai told his father that once the matter was settled, he could start publicity.
Last night, Fang Bai's parents knew that their son invited government leaders to drink.
Fang Shi felt that he was quite useless. He asked his son to personally take action on these matters, but as a farmer, how could he understand this?
My son said he could handle it by himself without his participation.
Fang Bai's parents didn't know where their son learned this trick, and thought he might have learned it while working in a factory.
This morning, Fang Bai was going to inspect the shopping mall decoration.
Fang Shi no longer supervises the decoration of the shopping mall. He has been watching other people's construction on site. The supervisor came to ask him for advice and learned a lot. Two months later, he could actually read the construction drawings.
Of course, the drawings have some complicated markings, but I still can’t remember them.
If he were asked to design it, he would definitely not do it.
As for the current work task, Fang Shi is responsible for finding two motorized tricycles, which must be surrounded by large-scale posters designed to be publicized throughout the city for three to five days.
In addition, he has to find dozens of human-powered tricycles according to his son's request, negotiate prices with these drivers, put up posters on the vehicles for mobile promotion, and pay 4 yuan a month.
Fang Shi was also responsible for putting up posters and distributing flyers, but the design of the posters and flyers still had to be designed by Fang Bai.
The above tasks are all easy to explain, but Fang Shi doesn't agree with his son's promotion method of recruiting handsome boys and beautiful girls to hold up placards. He feels it is immoral, and no one may be willing to do it.
God gave this man a great responsibility, so Fang Bai had no choice but to take over the task, because it was his own bad idea.
In this day and age, the fresher something is, the more attractive it is.
In addition, there are many things to do such as recruitment and training of store staff.
Especially for cashiers, Fang Bai's mother suggested that a trustworthy relative should be employed.
Fang Bai didn't think it was necessary. In the future, when the mall expands, more cashiers will be needed. Where can you find so many trusted relatives?
Products sold in shopping malls must be invoiced. Sales without invoices are subject to fines. You cannot pick up the goods and leave the mall without an invoice. Otherwise, if thieves take away the goods, the security guard will not know whether they have been sold.
Accounts are reconciled every day. It is not easy for cashiers to be greedy for money. Later generations have done this, and they can do the same today, as long as they set good rules.
In the end, after listening to her son's explanation, the mother felt that it made sense. After all, street vendors had to pay bills when selling TVs. At the time, she didn't quite understand the meaning of this.
Leave the task of reconciliation to her every day after get off work or shift change, and just be responsible for the collection work.
Her son also told her something about the division of labor and responsibilities. She should not interfere in other people's work at will, let alone criticize employees at will. She should read more and ask more questions, and ask questions after clarifying. She said that people are here to work to make money, not here. Being offended.
Fang Bai told his parents about his work. He found that the workload was too heavy and it was difficult to manage a large shopping mall with his parents alone. He needed to add more knowledgeable and educated managers.
Especially when preparing for the opening, the workload is very heavy, and it is too much for a family of three to handle.
As for Fang Tingting, Fang Bai's task for her sister during the holiday was to take pictures of the company's development. Some time ago, she wasted more than a dozen boxes of negatives, and now the photos she took were barely adequate.
For other things, she doesn't need her help, just study well. Fang Bai doesn't want his sister to get involved in business prematurely.
Over at the shopping mall, when business picks up, it will definitely be expanded. Fang Bai plans to build the second to fifth floors, and will continue to purchase land. Even if it cannot be connected to the shopping mall, as long as there are more than three blocks connected together, Can be purchased for other uses.
This shopping mall is a test field. If you accumulate experience and do it well, it can radiate to surrounding cities. This mainly depends on the ability of your parents. Fang Bai will not be able to focus on the shopping mall in the future. He wants to start a business.
When Zhongzhi is upgraded, more powerful functions may appear, which will be of great help in the development of new products.
As for the mall management staff, Fang Bai focused on the part-time students. After a period of inspection, he felt that a few of them could be used for his own use.
Of course, nowadays college students are not willing to work in private enterprises. If they graduate in the next few years, they can still be assigned an iron rice bowl.
Fang Bai asked Jingtian, they will report in June after graduation, and work assignments are usually decided within two months before graduation, and some will be earlier.
Now, Jingtian and other graduates are a little worried about being assigned to units in towns, towns or even rural areas, or being assigned to county or city-level units with poor profitability.
Those graduates with relevant backgrounds don’t need to worry about job assignments at all, and they won’t be any worse off no matter how bad they are.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with exercising at the grassroots level. After a few years, many people have risen to great heights.
For last year's college graduates, after becoming regular workers, their monthly salary plus subsidy ranges from a few dozen yuan to a few hundred yuan, with an average of around 150 yuan.
However, the time to become a full-time employee can range from two to three months, to one year, and in most cases half a year.
However, if they can become leaders in a few years, it will definitely be more than just superficial income.
Therefore, it is normal for college students in this era to look down on positions in private companies. Unless they do not do well, private companies provide very good treatment.
At nine o'clock in the morning,
Fang Bai is going to the mall to inspect and accept the decoration, and has made appointments with the project leaders in advance.
His parents had seen it many times and had questions.
But it must be approved by him.
A few days ago, Fang Bai and his parents roughly calculated the cost of the shopping mall, including all expenses such as land, design, main construction and decoration. The total cost was 575,000 yuan, which was a lot more than the budget.
Therefore, Fang Bai currently has less than 400,000 yuan in cash at his disposal. This may seem like a lot of money, but purchasing electrical appliances requires a lot of funds. For example, a new 29-inch color TV costs six to seven thousand yuan. Even if you don't buy too much, you still have to have it. Two sets support the scene.
Refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines were the three major items in the 1980s, and they are still the same today.
However, these three major items are not cheap to purchase, and they are also best-sellers, so they must be purchased in large quantities.
These days, the retail profits of home appliance terminals are still relatively high. For example, VCD, which was launched only a few years ago and has an ex-factory price of 700 to 800 yuan, has a sales volume of about 3,000 yuan;
A 29-inch imported color TV with a purchase price of 6,000 to 7,000 yuan is sold for 12,000 yuan;
As long as you can purchase goods from manufacturers, most terminal sales profit margins are above 100%, which is scary.
Unlike later generations, the competition in home appliances is as fierce as any other industry, and prices are transparent, so profit margins are extremely low.
Nowadays, information is not circulating, and it is a seller's market. Making money with poor information is too profitable.
Therefore, Fang Bai wants to purchase more goods before the end of the year and hold a promotion when he opens. How much he can earn depends on how much capital he has and whether he can purchase goods.
It's almost the end of the year, and manufacturers are going on holiday, leaving Fang Bai with little time.
Xinghai Shopping Mall covers an area of 1,050 square meters. Excluding cashiers, toilets, stairs, warehouses, etc., the actual commercial area is more than 700 square meters.
Fang Bai estimated that it would take at least 1.5 million yuan to purchase electrical appliances to support this electrical appliance mall. Three to four million yuan is not too much.
Of course, if you have 7 or 8 million yuan, you can barely get by, otherwise the mall will look very empty.
Therefore, his 400,000 yuan was not enough at all, so he had to take out a loan.
Some time ago, he went to a bank branch, and the president said that if there was a mortgage, it would be easier to get a loan.
However, the approval process is really slow. It has been two weeks and it has not been approved yet.
Fang Bai has been busy with the business of opening recently, and plans to check again tomorrow. If the loan is not released within three days, he will find another one. The gifts that should be given have already been given.
Fang Bai wouldn't like it if the other person looked ugly.
These days, all banks have lending tasks. Last year, many banks failed to complete their tasks.
Now is a new year, with new and arduous tasks.
Therefore, this is why Fang Bai wants to wait until after New Year's Day and wait for the new tasks of various banks to be issued before taking out a loan, which is also a better loan.
But I didn't expect that it would be really unlucky to encounter a family that was difficult to chew.
If it's too late to get a loan, just a few hundred thousand dollars will do, and the mall will be empty as long as it looks empty.
Anyway, the goods must be purchased before the manufacturers go on holiday. Fang Bai has already called to inquire about the holiday situation of each manufacturer. There is still time, but the state-owned enterprises and units have a holiday later.
He planned to purchase goods the day after tomorrow and spend all the hundreds of thousands first. He couldn't just wait for the loan.
Fang Bai also thought about seeing if the manufacturer would be willing to extend the delivery payment, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely. Electrical appliances are in short supply now, unlike in later generations where competition is fierce. In order to compete for display counters in shopping malls, manufacturers can give merchants first You get paid after the goods are delivered, or you can even collect money after the goods are sold. If the merchant delays payment, it is the uncle who owes the money.
Haha, now, the manufacturer is the boss.
