Fengxian Jiangshan

Moreover, the cart itself is lighter than baskets and the like, so no matter how many things are loaded, people will not feel heavy. Subconsciously, they will always think that they do not buy much. In fact, when people push the easy and convenient shopping cart , has fallen into the trap.

Zhang Tinglan also made this kind of shopping cart weapon. Since iron is too expensive to use, the body is made of bamboo, which is as light and strong as it is used.

"Young Master Zhang, this shopping cart is a good thing. Most of the customers will buy a lot more without knowing it, especially now that they are buying new year's goods. Whoever packs more will prove that whoever has all the new year's goods is complete, and whoever has a face Brilliant. A few days since it opened, it has been overcrowded, and tens of thousands of items can be sold every day. Not only ordinary people, but even many wealthy households have gone to Minsheng to buy New Year’s goods, and their family is on top. Dozens of ordinary families, to be honest, point at them to make money!"

After deducting various costs, the daily net profit is more than five or six hundred oceans. Judging from the current situation, there is still a lot of room for growth.It is not a problem to spend more than 1000 yuan, and there will be hundreds of thousands of profits in a year, which can almost feed a division of troops.

Originally, Zhang Tinglan promised Zhang Zuolin that the development of the North Market would bring in at least one million profits. Now, the tax revenue alone can exceed several million a year. Now it seems that the potential of the North Market was seriously underestimated.

"Old Liu, if possible, I suggest that we can promote the Minsheng model and establish three companies in the North Market first. With competition, we will continue to improve ourselves, and the products we launch will become better and better, attracting more and more people. There are more and more. In addition, you have to be prepared to establish similar markets in other cities. Can it be called a branch of Minsheng? Spread the network. The scale is large. It is also easy to purchase goods and has the ability to resist risks It will be stronger!"

Zhang Tinglan's plan is very clear, that is, to establish Fengtian's logistics network by referring to the supermarket chain model of later generations.But Liu Shucheng shook his head: "Young Master Zhang, it's great to be able to promote it, but there are two major difficulties now. The first is local obstruction, and the second is the supply of goods."

While speaking, Liu Shucheng led Zhang Tinglan to the interior of Minsheng Department Store, where there were crowded people everywhere, and they kept buying what they needed from the dazzling array of shelves.

There are also special shopping guides next to the shelves to help guide.Many people are illiterate, and even with a price tag, they cannot fully understand it, and someone must help.In addition, there are police patrols from time to time to prevent theft from happening. As the saying goes, the poor live with treachery, and the rich increase their conscience. When the common people are generally poor, anything can happen.

Of course, due to the large number of guards employed, a lot of operating costs have been increased. At first, Liu Shucheng and the others were very opposed to this shopping model. What they hoped was to arrange a dedicated salesman on each shelf to be responsible for the cash register, so as to truly avoid theft.

However, Zhang Tinglan believes that customers' consumption habits can be cultivated, and the unified payment model can create a more relaxed and free shopping environment. Even if some people steal some, this loss is completely acceptable.

From the situation since the operation, Zhang Tinglan’s judgment is not wrong. China has been a country of etiquette for thousands of years. Most of the people still abide by the rules. The prices of Minsheng Department Store are already very reasonable. On the contrary, it also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm for shopping, and people with a little money would buy a lot more things.

"Young Master Zhang, after the opening of Minsheng Department Store, everything is good, but there is one problem. We have attracted all the customers. There are many grocery stores and small markets. , they couldn’t compete at all, so they had to close their doors one after another.”

Zhang Tinglan has already estimated this point, but he doesn't want to give up the opportunity for development just because he takes care of those people. The goal of the North Market is Shanghai's Shili Yangchang and Tianjin's Sanwu. He wants to build this place into the top shopping center in China. Even a pearl of the Far East.In turn, it will drive the development of other industries in Fengtian, so it is imperative to promote a new shopping model.

"Many of our shopping guides are recruited from these grocery stores. Those vendors have also switched jobs to help us transport goods, but some people will still lose their jobs. Therefore, I guess that if people's livelihood is pushed to other cities, vendors everywhere will Be the first to stand up against it."

Liu Shucheng's concerns are not wrong at all. After all, any change will destroy some people's jobs, and opposition is inevitable. This situation will also be the same in later generations.

"Let's take out some shares and join forces with local businessmen. As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. We eat meat and let others drink soup. If we are not satisfied, we are not vegetarians."

"It's easy to handle, and more troubles are yet to come." Liu Shucheng and Zhang Tinglan turned to the cloth clothing section, Liu Shucheng pointed at the cloth and smiled wryly: "More than [-]% of the cloth we sell is woven by Lao Song's textile factory." Yes, his factory not only needs to produce cloth for the big powers, which are used to make military tents and the like, but also needs to satisfy the major silk and satin factories. It is a bit difficult for the remaining production capacity to meet a people's livelihood. The same is true for other products, if there are too many, I am worried that the supply will not be able to keep up."

Since Song Zhongyi moved the factory to Fengtian, all kinds of troubles have been reduced a lot, and he has received sufficient capital support from Zhang Tinglan. Soon the textile factory has entered the fast lane. After receiving orders from the big powers, he does not have to worry about sales. , the rest is to wholeheartedly expand production.

Zhang Tinglan reformed the management model of the Machinery Bureau some time ago and drove out all the original leaders.Started to use the model of combining basic salary and bonus, which greatly improved the labor enthusiasm of workers.

Song Zhongyi has learned everything from Zhang Tinglan, but he has learned it more thoroughly. He directly adopts piece-rate wages. The more he works, the more he earns. If the workload does not meet the standard, he will be fired directly.

His system is completely operated by the capital model, and he doesn't care about sympathy at all. Everything is efficiency first.If it is placed in later generations.Zhang Tinglan must have scolded him as a black-hearted capitalist, but in this world, Zhang Tinglan not only cannot blame him, but also encourages his development as a capitalist.

After adopting the new management model, the output of Song Zhongyi's textile factory has increased by more than half, and it is not just the increase in output.Even the quality has improved. In the past, workers were just fooling around under pressure.Now with the stimulus of money.They place more emphasis on quality.He also proposed many methods to innovate the technology, so that the cloth produced is almost no worse than foreign cloth.

With excellent quality and relatively low cost of raw materials and labor, the cloth produced is still more competitive than Japanese Toyo cloth, and the prospect of the factory is getting better and better.Let Lao Song admire this new management model more and more, under his leadership.Other factories in Fengtian also carried out reforms one after another.

However, even if the production capacity is greatly increased, Song Zhongyi still has some difficulties in the face of strong demand.

"Sellers are always afraid of backlogs, and no one is afraid of too many orders. At worst, we can buy more machines, or consider building some branch factories. The same is true for other commodities. In short, the industrial group must give strong support."

"With Mr. Zhang's words, Lao Song and I can rest assured." Liu Shucheng said with a smile: "However, I think it needs to be weighed in which country to purchase the machine. These days, Japanese people are constantly looking for it. The things in our Minsheng Department Store are mainly domestic products, especially those produced by the factory under the banner of the Industrial Group, and these little devils want us to sell oriental products!"

Zhang Tinglan frowned immediately when she heard this. These Japanese people really lingered, and they wanted to intervene when they saw the benefits.

"Young Master Zhang, I also hate the Japanese, but we don't have enough strength to fight them. Especially when we export goods to Russia, we have to go through the South-Manchuria Railway. I mean to buy a batch of machines from Japan. Throw a piece of meat to the Japanese and make them behave."

Zhang Tinglan suppressed the anger in his heart, no matter how angry he was, he knew better than anyone else, even though he had tossed a few times, the Japanese still had a deep foundation in Fengtian, and a large number of troops were stationed in Dalian Lushun, this is not him able to resist.

"You can purchase a batch of Japanese machines, and set aside a 20.00% share in Minsheng Department Store for Japanese products, so as to appease the Japanese for a while. But when purchasing machines, you must bring the United States over. There are American businessmen here. While competing, the price can be lowered, and the quality of imported machines can be guaranteed.”

In fact, it doesn’t matter to buy some machines. After all, Fengtian needs to import machines and technology from foreign countries to develop its industry. The Japanese are not good things, and so are the western powers. If they can restrain each other, it is actually a good thing for Fengtian.But what Zhang Tinglan is most worried about is Japan's continuous attention to Fengtian. As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. If the Japanese stare to death, nothing can be done.

It seems that we need to create some trouble for Japan, absorb their energy, and buy time for Fengtian's development, but there are really not many cards available in hand now, so what can we do to dampen the energy of the Japanese?Zhang Tinglan couldn't stop thinking.

At this time, he and Liu Shucheng had already walked around for most of the time, and finally came to the meat and vegetable area.In fact, for most people, the most important thing for the so-called New Year’s goods is to eat. No matter how poor they are, they have to make a meal of dumplings. On New Year’s Eve, the whole family sits together and eats steaming dumplings. Year taste.

Therefore, there is an endless stream of people who come to sell meat. The fresh and tender beef and mutton brought from Rehe Mongolia, as well as the local big fat pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. are all available, and they are all cleaned up, looking very clean and attractive.

There are a lot of vegetables on the other side, but the types are relatively monotonous. There are only cabbage, potatoes, radishes and the like, and at most some dried mushrooms. In front of them, let them choose.

These consumers are able to touch the things they want to buy with their hands, which can greatly stimulate their enthusiasm for buying. Seeing a middle-aged woman buy meat, toss around for a while, and then put a chicken into the shopping cart, obviously This sales tactic worked again.

At this moment, suddenly there was a noise outside from the side of the cash register, many security guards and patrolling policemen ran over, and Zhang Tinglan and the others were also alarmed.

Accompanied by Liu Shucheng and several guards, they rushed over quickly, wanting to see what happened, and saw a few soldiers jumping and cursing from a long distance: "I am a fellow of His Majesty the Emperor. I have been fighting all my life, and taking something from you is to look down on you, don’t be ignorant of flattery, I annoyed Lao Tzu, and burned all the nonsense Minsheng Department Stores.”

"Brother, you are too angry to say that!" Zhang Tinglan hurried to the scene of the incident.

Chapter 133 Slap Sweet Jujube

Lao Zhang started his business with a gun, so he has the strictest control over the troops. All the military and police in Fengtian are in the hands of Zhang Zuolin, except for one army, which is a reinforcement brought by Duan Zhigui when he came to Fengtian. group.

This army is the elite soldiers of Beiyang, and it is also very well equipped. Lao Yuan handed over this army to Duan Zhigui to embolden his godson and use it to deter Zhang Zuolin.But the facts proved that Lao Yuan had made a wrong idea. Although Duan Zhigui had a strong military force, he didn't know how to use it. Soon, this reinforced regiment became a decoration.

After all, the army can’t be like a vase, just put it there. The army needs to eat and drink. A total of 4000 people need to be paid and trained.

Most of these soldiers were from Henan and Hebei. They had never experienced the winter in the Northeast. When the northwest wind blows and the snow falls, these people can't bear it.They all asked Duan Zhigui to give them winter clothes, and some soldiers clamored to go back to the pass instead of suffering outside the pass.

Duan Zhigui was really immersed in the excitement of his godfather's enthronement at this time, he was looking forward to being promoted to the throne, and after he was pushed aside by Lao Zhang, he didn't have much money in his hands, but he spent a lot of money and had to go Beijing sent money, so it only gave five thousand oceans, and dismissed these soldiers like beggars.

The Beiyang soldiers who lacked food and clothing scolded Duan Zhigui's ancestral grave. The brothers escorted you, but when they arrived in Fengtian, Duan Zhigui didn't care about them.Fengjun is now well fed and well dressed, with money in their pockets, and they can buy New Year’s goods for their families. As a result, they are starving. Beiyang is the serious central army, and Fengjun is just a local army. force.As a result, the gap between the two sides is so big, no one will be balanced in their hearts.

They couldn't find Duan Zhigui, and they didn't dare to look for Zhang Zuolin, so they could only vent their anger on these businessmen, extort some money from them, and improve their lives. Just when they heard that Minsheng Department Store was very prosperous, a total of five Beiyang soldiers broke in here.

The layout of Minsheng Department Store is similar to that of later generations, but since there is no computer, it cannot scan codes to collect payments.Therefore, a relatively primitive method is adopted. Each commodity has a wooden label with the price written on it, and then the cashier uses the abacus to settle the settlement. The number of commodities is far less than that of later generations.So it can be dealt with.

This kind of label is not the first, and many theaters charge according to the time.The people listening to the opera each hold a piece of wood.A time is recorded for entering, and a time is recorded for coming out, and the fee is charged according to the length of time. If the actor is not good enough, many audiences will run out for a while, and then go in to listen to the actor they like.

Minsheng also borrowed this kind of thing.In fact, at the beginning Zhang Tinglan also doubted whether it would be possible to build a supermarket without the help of a computer system, but various problems were solved one after another, which proved that it was still completely feasible.

In fact, the world's first supermarket appeared in the United States in [-].At that time, computers were far from popular, and supermarket shopping was largely an innovation of a concept.

Several Beiyang soldiers ran to the cashier area to make a fuss, making price tags and abacus beads all over the place. The scene was chaotic. The security guards and the police all ran over and surrounded the troublesome Beiyang soldiers. Zhang Tinglan also drove away at this time come over.

Zhang Tinglan was naturally furious when these guys blatantly ran to her to make trouble.

"Brothers, you are all food soldiers. You know the military rules and regulations. If you come here to make trouble, aren't you afraid of being punished?"

"Don't tell me this, we are the Beiyang Army, do you know? His Majesty the Emperor personally trained them, and they are Habayashi's army. Who dares to control us!"

Zhang Tinglan sneered slightly: "A group of Imperial Forest Army who swindled food and drink, smashed and robbed shops are really embarrassing to His Majesty."

"Hmph, we don't care whether we lose face or not. I'm short of food and drink now, so why don't we starve to death? If officials don't give it, we'll grab it. Whoever dares to control me, I'll kill him."

When Zhang Tinglan saw how hooligans these guys looked, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He didn't bother to talk nonsense with these guys. He waved his hand and asked the guards behind him to do it. Those who protect Zhang Tinglan's safety are all carefully selected. A good player, not weak in kung fu.

Dealing with a few soldiers was no problem at all, and they were all beaten to the ground in a short time. These guys were still not convinced, and shouted loudly, thinking that they could do whatever they wanted with Yuan Shikai's power, but it was obviously a mistake. Zhang Tinglan won't be intimidated by them.
