Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

In the past, they were unemployed at home, looked down upon every day, and even their own parents would make sarcastic remarks about them, not to mention their sister-in-law, who had a sullen face every day. They didn’t dare to pick up vegetables at the dinner table, let alone meat.

When I came to work in the clothing store, my family members made sarcastic remarks about me. I didn't dare tell them the truth about my first month's salary. They just said 100 yuan. Even this number shocked my family members. Their attitude changed immediately, but my heart was already cold, and nothing could warm it up.

The three girls had similar experiences. They were all educated youth who returned to their hometowns. They had high school education, were unemployed at home, and had been treated coldly.

When Zhuang Hongye was recruiting workers, he specifically inquired about the family situation and gave priority to people like this.

People whose family conditions are too privileged usually cannot endure hardship. As a boss, she must recruit employees who are willing to work hard, and it would be best if they have no way out, because only when they have no way out will they work very hard.

"Qingqing is here!"

Uncle Deng came back from his walk and was very happy to see Xia Qingqing.

"Uncle Deng, you are getting younger and younger!"

Xia Qingqing complimented with a smile.

"You're already an old man, what's the point of being young? Your store is doing really well, with customers coming in every day, it's amazing!"

Uncle Deng gave a thumbs up and praised the store. He lived upstairs and had the clearest knowledge of the store's sales situation, with a daily turnover of at least several thousand.

"The investment cost is also high, and it hasn't paid off yet. Uncle Deng, is Auntie not back yet?"

Xia Qingqing changed the subject. She couldn't show off her wealth, so as not to cause red-eye disease.

Of course, she still trusted Uncle Deng's character, but she still had to take precautions.

"Come back next month. The fourth brother and his wife have been transferred back to Shanghai, and the old lady will come back with them."

Uncle Deng was in high spirits. Although he scolded his children for being heartless, he was still worried about them. When the fourth son and his family came back, the house would be lively again.

"congratulations!"

Xia Qingqing was also happy for Uncle Deng. She mentioned something else, "Uncle Deng, the last contract we signed was for one year. I want to renew it for five years. What do you think?"

"Okay, I'll go get the contract!"

Uncle Deng readily agreed. He didn't live on the first floor anyway, and he could earn three hundred yuan a year if he rented it out.

The contract was signed quickly. Xia Qingqing and Uncle Deng put their fingerprints on the contract respectively. She also paid the remaining four years' rent, a total of twelve thousand yuan. Uncle Deng took the money with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Deng, Xia Qingqing went to have dinner with Zhuang Hongye. They had to go to South Station to look at houses in the afternoon.

They found a small restaurant, ordered three dishes, and talked about things in the factory while eating.

"I bought the warehouse I told you about last time for $25. It's not big, but the location is great. I can open a shopping mall there in the future."

Zhuang Hongye talked about the warehouse, which was an abandoned warehouse of a cotton mill in a very good location. She accidentally learned that the cotton mill was going to sell the warehouse, so she took out all the money in the factory and bought the warehouse.

She also asked Si Jinyi to use her connections. There were many people who wanted to buy the warehouse, and they all had connections. In the end, she offered the highest price and had strong connections, so she got the deal.

“You want to open a shopping mall?”

Xia Qingqing was a little surprised. She thought Zhuang Hongye was planning to expand the workshop.

"It's a waste to set up a factory in that area. Our company is too monotonous to only make clothes. I went out for a walk recently and I think we can definitely make money by opening a shopping mall. The attitude of the waiters in department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives is too bad. The customers should be the gods, but they are the opposite. The customers who spend money to buy things have to smile and flatter. The sellers have become the gods. This is definitely not right."

Zhuang Hongye expressed her thoughts. She was in high spirits and looked extremely beautiful when talking about work.

Xia Qingqing nodded as she listened. She also felt that the salespersons in the department store had a very bad service attitude.

"If we open a free shopping mall, it will probably be like this..."

Zhuang Hongye took out a pen and paper from her bag and started drawing as she spoke. It was a rough model of a supermarket.

"When I was a kid, I went to the United States and visited supermarkets. The goods were placed on the shelves in different categories with price tags. Customers could just take whatever they wanted, put it in the basket, and then go to the checkout counter to pay. This not only saved the salesperson, but also allowed customers to feel the joy of shopping as they pleased, and they would not leave empty-handed because they were too embarrassed to ask the price."

Zhuang Hongye visited department stores and found that many customers were shy and unwilling to ask prices, so she simply posted the prices clearly so that customers could tell at a glance whether they could afford it or not.

"Hongye, you are so talented!"

Xia Qingqing looked at her excitedly. She had seen this supermarket in her previous life. There were large shopping malls in Hong Kong City and Shanghai City, which were the model that Zhuang Hongye described. She knew that Hongye was the smartest and most suitable for business among the four sisters.

"Keep your voice down!"

Zhuang Hongye blushed. They screamed so loudly that everyone in the store looked at them.

But she was very happy because every time she had an idea, Qingqing would support her and praise her for being so great.

"But there is a problem. How do we solve the problem of goods distribution? Department stores have government support, but we individual businesses don't." Xia Qingqing raised the question.

"Self-employed individuals can also apply for state support. The state now encourages individual business. The news broadcasts report this every day, which shows that the future economic trend will definitely be to develop the private sector. We are responding to the state's policy."

Zhuang Hongye's eyes brightened. She watched the news broadcast every day. The seemingly boring news reports actually contained a lot of information.

What the country wants to do and what its future policies are will all be reflected in the news broadcast. Although state-owned factories are still the main ones now, private enterprises will definitely occupy half of the market in the future.

Especially the area around Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, which has been a prosperous commercial area since ancient times. Private enterprises will definitely develop first from here, so she wants to take her sisters to eat some meat first.

Xia Qingqing couldn't help but get excited. She actually didn't know much about business, but she had lived one more life and knew a lot of opportunities. Zhuang Hongye was right. Private enterprises would indeed be vigorously developed in the future.

"To run this mall, we need to invest at least 500,000 yuan in capital, so we have to apply for a loan."

Xia Qingqing has money. The three million from Mrs. Lin has already arrived in her account, but she doesn't want to spend it. Now there are preferential loan policies for self-employed individuals, so it would be a waste not to take out the loan.

"There will be no problem getting a loan. We have our clothing factory and clothing store as collateral. The bank will definitely not block it. If it really doesn't work, we can ask your Shen Qiubai to come forward."

Zhuang Hongye was full of confidence and added: "The distribution of goods is not a big problem. There are many private enterprises now, and the quality of the products they produce is quite good. The problem is sales. We don't need to set up a big stall at the beginning. We can mainly sell light industrial products, clothing, socks, towels, washbasins, hairpins and other small items. We can arrange for household appliances and bicycles later!"

"Okay, I have no objection!"

Xia Qingqing knew her own limitations. She had to go to school and her business acumen was not as good as Zhuang Hongye's, so she decided not to get involved to avoid making things worse.

"I'm sure I can make us all rich!"

Zhuang Hongye is ambitious and her eyes are brighter than diamonds.

In 1930, King Kong Supermarket was said to be the world's first
