Rebirth 1990: I have three golden fingers

New Year's Day, 1992, arrived as scheduled.

On this day, light snow suddenly fell in Shanghai, like the dancing postures of countless elves, gently covering the Jiaotong University campus, giving the century-old campus an atmosphere of tranquility and tranquility.

Students in the south had never seen snow before, so they happily ran outside to feel the caress of the snow.

This day is very important for the students of Mechanical Class 3.

Jiaotong University’s student supermarket is officially open!

The construction and decoration of the supermarket were completed in a hurry. Every moment was rushed, and the whole class was also rushed.

For this day, the students in Class 3 of Mechanical Engineering uniformly wore coats with two lines of fonts printed on them: "Hualian Supermarket-Have you gone shopping today?"

Fang Bai didn't expect that this group of students would work so hard. He thought it would be enough to open next semester. This time point was already very tight.

But plans can't keep up with changes.

Outside the supermarket, there are more than a dozen large sunshade umbrellas, and a small square table is placed under each large sunshade umbrella. There are three or four wicker chairs placed around the table.

There is light snow falling in the sky, but this leisure area is already occupied by students. They sit in twos and threes on wicker chairs, drink drinks and eat retail, or simply sit and chat, the topic of which is the newly opened supermarket.

There are conspicuous signboards hanging on the roadside outside the supermarket, with various discount information, attracting every student passing by.

The 500-square-meter supermarket was already crowded with students. It was bustling and bustling. They were chatting in groups about what to buy. They were slightly surprised to see some cheap products.

There were so many people in the supermarket that the students in Class 3 of Mechanical Engineering had to ask students to queue up to control the flow of people. They were really afraid that the shelves would be overturned.

The students lining up at the entrance of the supermarket waiting to enter were a little excited and couldn't wait for the new shopping experience. After waiting for so many days, it was finally open.

Of course, those who join in the fun still account for the majority.

A supermarket of this size is not big, but to people of this era, it feels much bigger than those canteens and better than shopping malls in the city. They can pick up the products as they like and look at them carefully without having to look at the store. The boss's face.

At this time, in the supermarket, it was the first time for most students to see such a wide variety of food, drinks, and daily necessities. There were many categories of toothbrushes alone, which was dazzling. There were also many products that they had not seen before. They originally planned to come in. After shopping around for a sense of freshness, I couldn't help but buy it.

The students in Class 3 of Mechanical Engineering looked at the long queue at the cashier with smiles on their faces and felt the red bills flying in their hands.

The more you sell, the more dividends you get.

Some students have already begun to dream about a better life in the future. Last night, many students had insomnia and discussed until midnight, worrying that today's opening would not go smoothly.

It officially opened at nine o'clock this morning, and Fang Bai didn't come to see it. Instead, the school leaders came to take a look, walked around and said it was very good.

Not only students came to shop, but teachers and their families also came, and some small shop owners outside the school also came to observe.

"Ma Dan, how come this brand of soap is cheaper than what I sell, and lower than my purchase price! Then I might as well purchase from here!" Some small bosses also found some products with too low prices.

What they don't know is that some products in this student supermarket only make a small profit, and the reason why they buy them at a high price is because they don't know how many hands they have passed through.

As for Hualian Supermarket's products, most manufacturers purchase them through completely different channels.

Therefore, it creates the illusion that they purchase goods from competitors.

How ridiculous!

When I saw the prices of some products that were too low, even lower than what they purchased, I couldn't help but curse them secretly.

"Fuck, this supermarket is incredible!"

They know that this is a business invested by students and has strong support from the school. There is no way it can compete with such a large supermarket.

Dimensionality reduction attack, kill them instantly.

They can already foresee that their small shop business will deteriorate in the future, after all, the cake is only so big.

At twelve o'clock at noon, it was just after lunch. After the students had eaten, they went to the supermarket for a walk. The supermarket ushered in the peak flow of people. It can be said that Hualian Supermarket has become a beautiful scenery on the Jiaotong University campus. , attracting countless students to come shopping.

The supermarket opens at seven o'clock in the morning. Some students like to eat biscuits and drink milk.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, after the lights in the student dormitories were turned off, the supermarket closed the checkout.

It can be said that most of the day is open for business.

Two shifts are used, with 4-6 full-time employees on duty for each shift, with more staff during peak periods.

During the peak period after class, students from the third mechanical class took turns to help, and they stayed there for a period of time to familiarize themselves with the process. They mainly relied on full-time employees, otherwise they would not be able to build a chain store.

Their main job is to manage and develop, not to do trivial things. If there are not enough full-time staff, they will have to hire more people.

It opened today. From the opening to seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the flow of people was very heavy. Some students saw that there were too many people in the supermarket and couldn't squeeze in, so they planned to go another day.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the relevant student leader went to the store to count the day's revenue, and then deposited the money in the safe, and would deposit the money in the bank another day.

Today is New Year's Day. Fang Bai spent the day with Qin Shuyu. He happened to have nothing to do in the evening so he came over to take a look. He found that there were many problems today, that is, the cashier was too slow and the queue of students was too long.

There are two cashiers. During peak hours, a total of four people are assigned to collect money.

In this era, many products do not have long codes.

In December 1988, my country's Article Coding Center was established. In April 1991, my country officially joined the International Article Coding Association; in May 1991, the first batch of five national bar code standards were released and implemented.

It will take time for the policy to have barcodes printed on products to be fully implemented.

By June 1992, my country developed its first POS system, which marked the official start of the use of commodity barcodes in our country.

There was no POS system, but there were barcode scanners in the 1960s, when a supermarket chain in China first introduced barcode technology.

Therefore, most products in supermarkets already have barcodes, and you can check the price by scanning them.

However, for products without barcodes, you can only print the price tag and paste it on the product yourself. At the same time, the store clerk is required to remember the product information and price, and the checkout efficiency is not high.

For the store clerk, making a long barcode is too troublesome, so it is better to print the price directly, so that customers can see it and so can they.

Seeing several students settling cashiers and inventory with employees, Fang Bai left after asking a few questions.

That night, all the dormitories of the third mechanical class were discussing today's turnover.

"How's the opening revenue today?"

"Mexihu said it's almost 30,000 yuan, and the gross profit is about 10,000 yuan. It would be great if we could do this every day."

"You are overthinking it. Many students buy daily necessities. They buy enough for a month at a time. If it can be popular for two or three days, it will be good."

"There are much fewer students on campus during the holidays, and the business is slow for about three months."

"As long as you can make steady money, if you want to live up to the squad leader's investment, you must at least make the squad leader's investment back."

"Yes, brothers, come on, let's try to get the university next door to open as soon as possible."

"The construction and decoration are exactly the same. The construction is much faster, but it will take about ten days to open. The school is already on vacation."

"It's good to make some money. There are still many students in school during the holidays."

The next day, school started again.

The business of Hualian Supermarket is much worse than yesterday, and some products are out of stock.

Last night, when I was checking the inventory, I found that some products were selling very well, so I quickly called to inform them of restocking this morning.

Before the supermarket opened, students in Class 3 of Mechanical Engineering had already done market research to collect data on the products that students preferred.

Another day passed, and the sales on the third day were slightly different from the second day.

In three days, the total turnover reached 55,000 yuan.

On the fourth day, January 4, the turnover was only 9,550.45 yuan, less than 10,000 yuan. This situation was expected by most students, and they were worried that it would keep falling.

On January 5, some departments were already on holiday, and the supermarket's turnover dropped to 5,000 yuan.

By January 6, the turnover had rebounded a lot and reached more than 9,000 yuan.

On January 7, the whole school was on holiday, and the turnover increased again, reaching nearly 20,000 yuan.

The main reason is that most students have to leave school and buy food in supermarkets for food and drink on the road.

This group of students guessed this and launched a special event: "What to eat and use on the road, come to Hualian to take a look!"

We have also specially launched packages with different travel times. The packages are relatively discounted. Most students buy the packages directly for the sake of cheapness.

Fang Bai didn't tell them about the set meal. Some students said that the KFC on the Bund had a set meal promotion and we could give it a try. Everyone thought it was a good idea and decided to do it once. If the effect is good, we will try it in the future. Do it often.

I tried it and found it was a hit.

[Package 1: Suitable for a journey of 5-10 hours, with a discounted price of 5.8 yuan. The products include a small pack of paper towels, a pack of spicy strips, a pack of biscuits, a pack of cravings, and a stick of chewing gum...]

The gross profit margin of the selected products is relatively large, and the package is equivalent to a 10% discount.

For some products, such as Green Arrow chewing gum, students do not want to buy the whole pack. One stick is enough, so Hualian Supermarket sells them in pieces.

This idea was provided by a student. He said that cigarettes can be dismantled and sold in pieces, and many products can also be dismantled and sold into packages.

I have to say that as we gather more people and brainstorm ideas, we still find a lot of inspiration.

On January 8, the turnover could still maintain a high level, reaching more than 10,000 yuan.

Eight days after opening, the total turnover has exceeded 100,000 yuan, with a gross profit of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, allowing the students in Class 3 of Mechanical Engineering to see the dawn of sudden wealth.

After these few days of opening, none of the students in Class 3 of Mechanical Engineering have gone home early to celebrate the New Year, and most of them plan to spend it at school.

Everyone is busy opening a store to make money, so I feel embarrassed if I run away.

Some people have been arranged to go to the university next door to prepare for the opening, and strive to open the second supermarket around January 15th.

In their daily work, someone will collect statistics on their contribution, and distribute additional dividends based on their contribution, which will also directly affect whether they can get shares in the future.

If you don't contribute much, after graduating from undergraduate degree, if the monitor wants to share shares, he will definitely get little or even nothing.

The 0.6% bonus is fixed, but if you fail a class, 0.1% will be deducted for any subject, which is a bit harsh.

A 0.6% dividend does not mean that you will be allocated 0.6% of the company's shares. In fact, you will not get 0.6% if you take the shares.

Dividends are only rewards that can be obtained when profits are distributed at the end of the year;

Shares, however, are actual partners in the company.

The company currently invests 300,000 yuan. According to the current business conditions, the actual value of the two supermarkets has reached 1 million yuan, and a 0.1% share is worth 1,000 yuan.

The squad leader reminded us that if Hualian Supermarket Company develops well, it will be listed on the market.

During the four years of college, everyone's dividends are fixed. If the class committee does more things, they will get more.

But after graduation, fixed dividends will no longer be used. Dividends will be redistributed. Shares will first be allocated based on each person's four-year performance.

When year-end dividends are distributed, they will be distributed according to the proportion of shares, instead of the current per capita dividend of 0.6%.

Those who continue to work in Hualian Supermarket will receive the salary of the corresponding position in Hualian. If they serve as a manager, they may receive more dividends.

If you do not continue to work at Hualian, your dividends will be distributed according to your shareholding ratio.

Therefore, the whole class is working hard to open more stores in Shanghai and get more dividends.

There is no plan to pay dividends this year, only a fixed salary. If you are really short of money, you can borrow it temporarily.

Jiaotong University's supermarket business is booming, and they are already planning to open a third supermarket.

Fang Bai has been having a hard time with the excitement of his classmates these days. He is waiting for the subscription certificate to be announced, but has not seen any news about the subscription certificate.

School has already been on vacation, and so has Qin Shuyu. The two of them have temporarily moved to a house near the securities company and do some activities in the evening to entertain themselves.

Fang Bai would go to securities companies and nearby banks every morning to see if there was any recent information on subscription certificates. He was disappointed every time he went there.

In the afternoon, he went to the company to take a look. In one month, the company had already received orders for 7 ground pumps. The first batch of 10 small-batch production units had not yet been delivered. The team was in the process of training and was not very familiar with new products. familiar.

The total number of employees in the company has reached 60, and the team is still being expanded. The second batch of 20 ground pumps has been delivered to the production workshop.

The money was not received until the goods were delivered. Fang Bai only had hundreds of thousands of yuan on hand, which was not enough to arrange materials.

A few days ago, Fang Bai's mother gave him three million yuan in cash and also stopped by to check on her son. She said she had never been to Shanghai and planned to come over for a walk.

My son said that he would not go back for the time being and would have to wait until the Chinese New Year before he would be free to go back.

What Fang Bai's parents didn't expect was that their son's company in Shanghai was doing well.

After staying in Shanghai for two days, Liu Fengqing returned to Wencheng. The shopping mall at home was also busy.

Another day passed, and Fang Bai still couldn't hear the news about the subscription certificate, which made him a little uneasy. Could it be that the release time in his memory was earlier?

Or is it, in fact, not officially released yet?

In December of this year, three securities companies in Shanghai jointly rented more than 20 sports venues in Shanghai, issued subscription certificates for various stocks within a specified time, and then drew the numbers.

The winners then go to various stock underwriters to pay and buy stocks based on their winning numbers, which requires a lot of staff. In order to ensure the safety of the distribution, almost the entire Shanghai police force was mobilized, but the gates of venues such as Jiangwan Stadium and Xuhui Game Pool were broken through by a crazy flow of people, causing many people to be trampled and injured.

To this end, the Shencheng Branch of the People's Bank of China asked the three securities companies Shenyin, Wanguo, and Haitong to design better stock issuance methods to avoid further chaos.

This is why subscription certificates appear and are distributed to hundreds of sales points.

Two days later, on January 11, Fang Bai learned the latest news from the securities company. It was confirmed that the subscription certificates would be officially sold on January 19, and could be purchased at 450 business outlets of securities companies, banks and trust companies in Shanghai. Buy.

"Haha, it's time to come!"

Fang Bai was so happy that he thought he had changed the historical trajectory of the subscription certificate.

It seems that I have been waiting for many years and made a lot of preparations for this day.

In the past few days, the two have been combined into one, one update per day, and we will try to restore two updates.
