Chapter 84 Upgrading your network (please vote for me)
In the past few days, Fang Bai believed that the biggest gain was not the two million loan.
Instead, the number of contacts in his system has increased dramatically.
The 12th connection came from Chen Shi, who gave Fang Bai a lot of help.
The 13th to 14th connections are undoubtedly Ye Fan, the president of G Commercial Bank. They are still elite connections.
He was able to help Fang Bai obtain a high-value loan and brought great help to Fang Bai, which was unmatched by other connections.
Although Chen Shi provided help, it was Ye Fan who ultimately made the decision.
Three months of hard work is not as fast as getting money from a loan.
Think about the real estate companies in later generations. Which bank has a debt ratio of no more than 70%, and how many have experienced thunderstorms.
The 15th connection is Li Hui, the boss of Ningcheng Zhede;
The 16th connection is Shen Feng, the major shareholder of Han D Company;
The 17th connection is Shen Dong, the second shareholder of Han D Company, who is a brother of Shen Feng.
Han D's future development is not bad, and its revenue will reach several billion yuan by 2022.
Of course, Han D cannot keep up with juniors Fang Tai and Oaks.
The 18th connection was the director of a small state-owned enterprise. Fang Bai consulted at a cigarette shop near the factory gate. The shop owner asked him if he was looking for the factory leader. Fang Bai said, "To find the director, you have to buy a few cigarettes."
"One hundred yuan, take the note." The shop owner just replied.
Fang Bai took down a hundred yuan and took a note handed over by the store owner, but he didn't take the cigarette.
At that time, after the father and son left the cigarette shop, Fang Shi didn't understand: "Why don't you take cigarettes if you give them cigarettes?"
Fang Bai looked back at the cigarette shop, and then said to his father: "Dad, the factory director's relatives opened the cigarette shop here, and the money is actually for the factory director."
"Like This!"
"Well, many cigarette shops are in this business. They don't sell much cigarettes and alcohol, but the business is not bad. They collect money for people. When you go to these state-owned enterprises and ask the owners of these cigarette shops, you can get a lot out of them. .”
"Then if you give me a hundred yuan, the thing can be done?"
"That's another thing. It's just the threshold for meeting people."
"I really don't understand how you understand these things."
"Observe more, haha." Fang Bai laughed. He had seen a lot in his previous life, and he still couldn't figure out some routines after living for decades.
The 19th and 20th connections are both bosses of small home appliance companies.
Yesterday, Fang Bai's golden finger on his ring finger was upgraded, but he was busy and didn't pay much attention.
This morning, he noticed the system prompt and was extremely happy.
He felt that the most difficult connection to make was finally enough for 20 upgrades!
"Fuck, yeah, yeah!"
Fang Bai couldn't help shouting on the bed.
[Tip: The ring finger can be upgraded. Do you want to upgrade? 】
Fang Bai silently said "confirm", and the gold finger on his ring finger was directly upgraded to level 2.
Suddenly, he felt a rush of heat on his right ring finger.
After a while, the heat ended, and he saw that the ring finger was slightly swollen and slightly smaller, almost the same as normal, and a little more flexible than before.
This is no different from raising your middle finger to level 2, they are all the same.
After the upgrade, there is an additional function!
Moreover, it is more powerful.
[lv2: Can know the other party’s information and current inner thoughts in the past two days, limited to 2 people per day, drinking capacity +1]
The detection time changed from one day to two days, and there were two people per day. The drinking problem that worried him actually increased.
Drink +1?
Fang Bai systematically explained in detail that he could increase the amount of alcohol by 1 pound of high-strength liquor without hurting the body or filling the stomach. It was directly converted into energy, which is equivalent to pouring it into the sub-space.
In other words, Fang Bai's alcohol consumption increased directly from half a catty to 1.5 catties!
1.5 pounds!
This level can be said to be the high-end level of an alcoholic, not to mention a huge amount of alcohol, but an amazing level of alcohol consumption, at least no longer afraid of drinking.
In the wine shop, everyone basically belongs to the masters of the wine shop, except for a very few wine maniacs.
"Damn it, I'm going to beat anyone who wants to drink with me again!"
"Young people are not that easy to bully."
Fang Bai feels that this is very useful. He often runs business and drinking is unavoidable.
Now, the ring finger has reached level 2. Fang Bai feels that the ring finger is getting more and more abnormal, which gives him a big surprise.
To upgrade to level 3, the difficulty is the same, and the number of connections must reach 40, which is a 2-fold increase, which is different from the increase level of the index finger and middle finger.
But if you want to upgrade to level 4, you need 80, and subsequent levels are increasingly difficult to upgrade.
Moreover, Fang Bai is worried that as his social status and wealth increase, those who used to be considered connections may no longer be considered connections if the help they provide him is too little.
The ring finger was upgraded, and Fang Bai got up feeling refreshed, even though he was still a little cold.
In winter, sleeping in is the most comfortable.
But there are still a lot of things to do today, and everyone in the family, except my sister, has to prepare early for the opening tomorrow.
After breakfast, it was only about seven o'clock.
Fang Bai's parents went to the mall early in the morning to get busy.
After not being at home for a few days, Fang Bai also wanted to know how everyone was preparing.
After walking through the two stores, all the TVs had been repaired and none had been sold in the past few days. Fang Bai estimated that there were about 350 repaired TVs in total.
Starting from tomorrow, Fang Bai will give him double wages. Most of the part-time college students will not go home and go to the mall to help when there is no TV repair.
The useless TV parts in the store have been cleared and sold, and the repaired TVs have to be moved to the mall for display. There are not many in the store.
Fang Bai closed the store door and walked to the mall.
It's only three to four hundred meters from home to the shopping mall, and we'll be there in a short time.
At the east gate of the mall, there are some flowerpots and a semicircular inflatable cross-door. Next to it is a large exhibition board four to five meters long and two to three meters high. There are spliced posters on the front and back: "February 10th , the grand opening of Xinghai Electrical Appliances Mall."
“Spring Festival recharge activity for buying electrical appliances: recharge 500 yuan and get 30 yuan;
Recharge 1,000 yuan and get 70 yuan;
Recharge 2,000 yuan and get 160 yuan;
Recharge 5,000 yuan and get 500 yuan... no limit, only during the Spring Festival! "
Fangbai's opening event is this recharge event. The pricing is the same as other shopping malls, but membership recharge is equivalent to a discount.
There are no electronic cards now, so Fang Bai asked Jingtian to prepare cardboard cards of 500 yuan, 1,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan levels. The recharge can only be recharged according to these four amounts. A number is printed on the card every time a purchase is made. You can know how much balance you have.
Accordingly, the store has a book to record the usage and balance of each card number. When the card limit is used up, it will be invalid.
It is also convenient to check, and you can replace the card if it is lost.
In this day and age, this is the most convenient way to remember your card.
Fangbai conducts this recharge activity mainly to raise funds. Customers recharge in order to take advantage of discounts, so that there is still a balance left after buying electrical appliances, and it can also promote consumption.
The remaining balance is refundable, but after deducting the gift amount, it will not be announced.
The east door was ajar, and Fang Bai saw from the outside that his parents were already busy in the store.
On the roof of the first floor, there are many large display boards, all advertising, such as [To buy cheap electrical appliances, go to Oubei Pier Xinghai Shopping Mall]
[Focus on small home appliances, thousands of homes in Xinghai]
[Xinghai Electric: There is no cheapest, only cheaper]
[Quality establishes the world, Xinghai enters thousands of homes]
[If you want to buy good home appliances, please come to Xinghai]
…
Fang Bai walked around the perimeter of the shopping mall. His shopping mall was still 18 meters away from the road curb. According to the plan, the eight-meter-long foundation in front of the shop was managed by the owner and could be used to set up stalls but not to build houses. The stretched ten-meter space belongs to the public and can be used to widen the highway in the future.
In other words, there is an open space in front of the mall that can be planned and used. It is planned by Fangbai as a parking lot. There are divided areas for bicycles and motorcycles, as well as a dozen parking spaces for small cars.
Fang Bai asked the local department before demarcating the parking spaces. The department leaders were happy that the public would not have to spend money to lay cement floors.
At this time, the father saw his son coming. After taking a look, he went back to work and opened and closed several rolling doors. Fang Bai stood on the roadside and could clearly see the scene inside the store through the large floor-to-ceiling glass. .
In the old TV area, the large color TV screen that Fang Bai had repaired before was placed facing the outside of the store, and two 29-inch color TVs were placed next to it, creating a clustering effect and attracting the attention of passers-by.
Walking into the store, the floor is not made of ceramic tiles, but sealed and solidified concrete. It looks very bright. This type will be used more often in clean workshops in the future. It is cheap and beautiful.
Nowadays, ceramic tiles are expensive, of poor quality, and not wear-resistant. Currently, there are no large imitation marble ceramic tiles for sale.
Therefore, it is better to seal and solidify the ground with concrete. It is more convenient to spray paint and mark it. Moreover, if there is damage, it will be much easier to repair in the future.
Liu Fengqing was putting up the price tag of a new color TV. When she saw her son coming in, she asked with a smile: "Son, is this price appropriate? The gross profit is really high."
She knew the purchase price of TVs. Her son gave her a price booklet with the sales prices of various electrical appliances. For example, a 29-inch Panasonic color TV sold for 11,888 yuan!
The prices of some imported brands of 21-inch color TVs range from more than 3,000 to more than 5,000.
The old TV only sold for about 1,100 yuan, which was a big difference.
The profits of new TVs are quite high, but not as good as some home appliances.
In 1989, in order to rectify the circulation order of color TVs and ease the relationship between supply and demand, the state introduced a monopoly on color TVs and levied consumption tax and localization development funds on top of the price.
For example, 12-14-inch imported color TVs are subject to a tariff of 300 to 500 yuan. Therefore, the market price of new 14-inch imported color TVs reaches around 1,500 yuan, while domestic color TVs are relatively cheaper.
However, the picture quality of domestic color TVs is too poor to attract the eyes of wealthy people.
Fang Bai told his mother: "Other businesses sell like this. We have just opened, so we cannot engage in a special price war and let them focus their firepower on us."
Liu Fengqing curled her lips: "It's true, you'd be a fool if you don't make money."
Fang Bai smiled and walked around the mall to see where there were problems, and found quite a few.
Just before nine o'clock, employees arrived and started tidying up the mall.
At ten o'clock, Fang Bai called all personnel for a meeting.
The newly recruited full-time employees include four security guards, two cashiers, eight salespeople, and two handymen. The several college students who are preparing to sign the agreement are not included.
The general manager is Fang Shi, who is responsible for the overall operation of the mall, Liu Fengqing is responsible for item pricing, Li Meng is the sales supervisor, Jingtian is the technical supervisor, and Chen Yang is the warehouse supervisor.
Together with a few part-time college students who have not yet returned home, the staff reaches thirty people.
Fang Bai talked about the opening process tomorrow, with the ribbon cutting at nine o'clock and the opening at nine thirty. The normal operating hours are from nine o'clock in the morning to seven o'clock in the afternoon, a total of 10 hours.
At present, I don’t have the habit of visiting electrical appliance stores at night, so they will not operate at night.
After explaining the process, Fang Bai talked about some problems that needed to be rectified.
Finally, Fang Bai said some words of encouragement to the employees before disbanding.
After the disbandment, Fang Bai went to each electrical appliance area to check again, and talked about the problems found that must be rectified today. At the same time, he asked the employees some questions to avoid problems when opening tomorrow.
At eleven o'clock, hundreds of spectators had gathered outside the mall. They came to watch after seeing the advertisement. They heard that there would be a lion dance and free prizes tomorrow.
For this prize-giving activity, Fang Bai had people prepare prizes worth 10 to 1 yuan. They were toothbrushes, small packets of washing powder and other daily necessities. The total value was about 1,000 yuan. The main purpose was to gather popularity.
During the Spring Festival, he plans to hold a grand lottery to bring in more money and at the same time increase the popularity of the mall.
