1987: Sleepless Tonight

"It's an event." Li Xuewu nodded, "We will have a discount during the National Day, and many products are 9.9% off."

"This effort is weak, but it can be increased. The National Day is rare. It is a festive day. With two days off, many people will go shopping and buy some things for the home. There should be a 9.7% discount." Yang Bin suggested.

At this moment, the "National New Year's Day and Memorial Day Holiday Measures" in 49 is still in effect, with 1 day for New Year's Day, 3 days for Spring Festival, 1 day for May Day, and 2 days for November.

Work 8 hours a day, 48 hours a week, that is, 6 days of work, Monday to Saturday, and one day off on Sunday. However, due to the nature of work and tasks, many units implement a three-shift system. Almost every year.

In addition, there are still some units with poor performance and overstaffed employees. They will give employees a holiday, work half a day, or take two full days off on Saturdays and Sundays.

This is the case in garment factories. They have two days off on Saturday and Sunday. If they have more rest, their wages will naturally decrease.

When Yang Bin said this, he took a special look at Lu Hao.

The meaning is obvious, they want to use Liji Shopping Mall to have an impact on Lu Hao's Wanjia Department Store, and grab customers on the National Day.

But Lu Hao laughed hard in his heart.

9.9% off?

9.7% off?

What kind of discount is this?

The strength is too weak, and you are petty. Take the Butterfly brand table fan as an example. Normally, the retail price is 87 yuan a set, and the 9.9% discount is only 0.87 yuan cheaper, and it is 86.13 yuan, and the 9.7% discount is 2.61 yuan cheaper. Another 84.39 yuan.

Too shallow, how can it be effective?

The National Day retail price that Lu Hao set for the Butterfly table fan is much lower than this!

But this is also normal, because Liji Shopping Mall, Jiangcheng Shopping Mall, and many other shopping malls and department stores are all state-owned units. Regarding the pricing of commodities, even Li Xuewu, the person in charge of the sales department, can't make the decision. How can I suggest.

If the product does not sell well, he may have to take the blame.

Even these state-owned shopping malls and department stores have undergone corresponding reforms in the past few years, developing towards a market economy and modern enterprises. ' is the main content of the exploration, and no longer follow the original functions of reporting, decomposing, and issuing plans for commodities, materials, finance, labor and capital, as well as commanding and dispatching specific commodity purchases and sales.

However, the Municipal Commercial Committee still has the responsibility of planning, coordinating, supervising, and serving the subordinate enterprises. Not only that, it is also responsible for drafting commercial regulations and systems, guiding the development of commercial work in Jiangcheng, organizing market forecasts, mastering market information, and coordinating the compilation of the city's commercial affairs. development plans and product plans, etc.

Jiangcheng Shopping Center, Liji Department Store, etc., the market economy reform of these state-owned units only changed the form and changed the skin, and the internal changes were very limited.

Several rounds of more systematic, deeper, and more thorough separations between government and enterprises are needed to truly sever the connection between the Municipal Commission of Commerce and these enterprises under it.

Even with a 9.7% discount, Li Xuewu couldn’t make the decision, and felt a bit difficult, “I’m afraid this is a bit difficult. It used to be a 9.9% discount. If it is a 9.7% discount, our profit will be much lower. I’m afraid the leader will not agree.”

If the efficiency is not good, it will be criticized.

The best way not to make mistakes is to follow the lead.

Do less and make less mistakes, and it is good not to do.

"That's not a problem. There are quite a few suppliers here in Jiangcheng Mall, and their prices for Jiangcheng Mall are relatively low. I'll mention it to them and ask them to prepare more goods and give you the same price as Jiangcheng Mall. Then Why don't you offer 9.7% off these products?" Yang Bin took advantage of his position as the director of the procurement department to make it easier.

As long as there is a lot of profit to be handed over, Li Xuewu will be able to communicate with the leaders and strive for a 9.7% discount during the National Day.

Yang Bin did this mainly to unite with Li Xuewu to deal with Lu Hao together.

"Thank you, then there should be no big problem." Hearing this, Li Xuewu was very happy.

He has long coveted the supply unit of Jiangcheng Shopping Mall. They are both state-owned units, but there are seniors and young ones. Jiangcheng Shopping Mall is obviously the boss and can get more favorable supply prices, but Liji Shopping Mall does not have this treatment.

Now that Yang Bin is able to match them, he can get some goods at a lower price and sell them at a discount during the National Day, which is also a good thing for him.

Yang Bin looked at Lu Hao, "Boss Lu, do you see that there are many contacts and many paths, there is no need to go to death."

"I'm afraid that if I walk the same path with someone like you, you will push me down halfway." Lu Hao said.

"Okay, you have a lot of backbone and youth." Yang Bin's face was gloomy, "Liji Shopping Mall is not far from your department store, and I will do my best to help him. How to increase sales."

"Do you still want to surpass Jiangcheng Shopping Mall in terms of sales on the opening day? You have to pass the level of Liji Shopping Mall first!"

At this moment, Zhang Zhigang ran over from a distance, "Brother Hao, the banners are here, and the National Day is only a few days away, should we hang up the banners now?"

"Hang on." Lu Hao nodded.

"Okay." Upon receiving the answer, Zhang Zhigang immediately ran back.

Shout out.

Climb up to the roof, grab one end of the banner, put it down from the roof, straighten the two ends, fix it, and hang the first banner.

"Jiangcheng Light Automobile Manufacturing Factory congratulates Wanjia Department Store for making a fortune!"

The second banner was also quickly hung up.

"Jiangcheng Bed Sheet General Factory congratulates Wanjia Department Store on its prosperous business!"

Then came the 3rd, 4th, 5th.

"The Provincial Administration of Posts and Telecommunications congratulates Wanjia Department Store on Bafang's fortune!"

"Huagong Machinery Factory congratulates Wanjia Department Store on its prosperity!"

"Qiaokou Environmental Sanitation Bureau congratulates Wanjia Department Store on its grand opening!"

……

Still hanging!

Yang Bin and the others did not leave. They were surprised to see the units on these banners.

"What's going on, Lu Hao knows so many people?"

"Liji Shopping Center was refurbished, and there were not so many units sending congratulatory messages when it opened. How come there are so many units sending congratulatory messages when a private unit opens its business?"

Yang Bin, Li Xuewu, and several others were puzzled.

Then, something happened that made them stare wide-eyed, and a banner came down, which read, "Jiangcheng Shopping Mall congratulates Wanjia Department Store for the overwhelming number of guests, good luck!"

???

Li Xuewu looked at Yang Bin, "Why did you send Lu Hao a banner congratulating the opening?"

"It's not me." Yang Bin also looked confused.

He looked at Lu Hao, "Lu Hao, when did I send you a banner congratulating the opening of Wanjia Department Store? Don't put gold on your face."

"Are you the only employee of Jiangcheng Mall?" Lu Hao looked at him, "Or, you have the final say in Jiangcheng Mall? Can you represent Jiangcheng Mall?"
