Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

It can be said that Luo Xiazhi has "happy events again and again" in the past few days, walking with wind.

The first is that he helped Neptunus Chemical's fundraiser to come to an end.The start-up capital for the first phase of the factory is completely sufficient.

Soon after Fan Dongli returned to Tianjin, he sent a telegram stating that the land for the factory had been confirmed and would soon enter the stage of rammed earth construction.

Then, when the news of the "Miss Shimai" beauty pageant came out, it directly shocked the common people in Shanghai and even in East China, and excited everyone who was suffering from various jobs at the end of the year.

Rorschach has little research on "beauty pageants".

But as the saying goes, "I have seen pigs run without eating pork."In his "previous life", he was at least on TV and mobile phone video apps, and he also watched a few talent shows for entertainment stars, so he simplified the rules of those competitions and applied them to this beauty pageant.

There are a total of four auditions in this beauty pageant, and ten beauties are selected in each audition.Then, from the total of forty beauties, the top twenty, top ten and top five were selected.

Finally, the top three and the champion "Miss Shi Mai" were selected among the five beauties.

Miss champion can get a high bonus of 1000 silver dollars, and she will co-shoot the cover of the first issue of "SMART" next year with the super popular star "Flying Dragon".Her own poster will also appear in the windows and advertising boards of Shimai Department Store in the next year.Until the next "Miss Shi Mai" champion was born to take over her position.Of course, if the champion lady is strong, she can choose to continue participating in the competition and continue to enjoy the glory that belongs to her.

The rest of the award-winning beauties will appear on the monthly card issued by Shimai every year and the cover or back cover of the magazine within the next year, and participate in the clothing conference twice a year.

Originally, Luo Xiazhi also wanted to engage in "resurrection contests", "pending area" voting, etc., to deceive everyone's vote money...

Cough, but because of the hasty launch of this event.The official announcement will be made at the end of October, the audition will begin in November, and the ranking will be determined at the end of December. Therefore, the entire competition schedule is very tight, and there is no chance of repeatedly making mistakes.

It was only in the final ten-to-five competition that Rorschach decided to add a "Most Popular Customer Award"."Saved" a spot at the last moment, and finally entered the finals on Christmas Day in the form of "5+1".

Game time is every Sunday.The venue for the audition and the first two knockout rounds will be in the atrium of Shimai Department Store.There are no tickets, but there are requirements for the number of people entering the venue. Once the number of people entering the venue is reached, entry will be refused.

The venues for the "Ten into Five" and the finals are the "Qiankun Grand Stage" on the fifth floor of Shimai Department Store and the "Seventh Heaven Cinema" on the second floor of the Seventh Heaven Hotel.

At that time, "Tianwaitian Radio Broadcasting Station" will broadcast live the whole process of the game, so that those who cannot reach the game site can not "full their eyes" but at least "full their ears".

Tickets for these two games are sold externally, and the ticket prices are not low.Ordinary customers can inquire and purchase at the information counters on the first floor of Shimai Department Store and Seventh Heaven Hotel.Gold VIP and above VIPs can book by phone in advance, and one card can only order two tickets at most.

In order to see the audition held in the atrium on the first floor of Shimai Department Store this Sunday, many foreigners choose to come to Shanghai by car or boat in advance to "watch the excitement".

On the night of the first Saturday in November, after the department store closed, people began to line up in the small square at the door with reclining chairs and military coats overnight.

This kind of situation also happened at the entrance of Shimai Department Store before, and it was all because Tianwaitian Radio Station invited well-known singers and famous actors.Luo Xiazhi will also arrange manpower in advance to prevent scalpers from making trouble and ensure the safety of guests.

But this time these people actually lined up for an unknown saleswoman, and it was the first audition, which stunned the Shimai security team who were not yet mentally prepared.

On this rather chilly early winter night, after being alarmed by a call from the security guard, Luo Xiazhi rushed to the gate of Shimai in person, and saw a group of men and women wrapped in coats sitting on recliners and small benches in the middle of the night, shivering from the cold Poor trembling look.

"Quickly, let the chief steward of the cafeteria come back, and boil some tea and red dates and ginger soup for them. Yes, it's free, and it's distributed for free."

After the food was cooked, Luo Xiazhi came to the front of the line with a bowl of steaming ginger tea in his hands, and handed it to this old man who was over [-] years old but still fighting on the front line of "Karma Mengmeng" hand.

"Third Master! Ala Huanxi Nong (likes you), Huanxi Nong's department stores and various programs. As long as it is a program produced by the Third Master, it must be very good-looking, so I came to line up today."

The old man took Jiang Tang and said emotionally, "The old man has a few days to live, happy every day is a day, I came here specially to line up."

"Thank you! Thank you for your support! We will definitely do a good job in this show!"

Luo Xiazhi kept waving at the crowd.

"Hey! I should hold this event in summer, so that they won't catch a cold when they line up! I can also sell soda to make them some money."

Afterwards, a certain capitalist who had recalled it said out of conscience.

So starting from the second year, the annual "Cabinet Sister Has You" competition was changed to July, burning the whole summer!

The queue at the entrance of Shimai Department Store is very lively, and it is said that the tickets for the "Miss Shimai Finals" held on the night of Christmas are exclusively represented by "Seven Heavens Travel Agency", and the cheap tickets in the back row have basically been sold out. The reservations are sold out, leaving only a few high-priced tickets and VIP box tickets in stock.

"This can be regarded as the blessing of 'Flying Dragon'."

Gu Hanlin took the freshly cooked ginger soup and handed it to Luo Xiazhi who went out in the middle of the night and returned to the small villa shivering after one o'clock in the morning.

"How to say?"

"I just took a look at the people queuing up, and guess what—girls accounted for at least one-third of them! It's not ruled out that there are also gentlemen who line up to help their girlfriends, so our beauty pageant is already among the girls. It's had a lot of impact."

"You are running a women's beauty pageant. Generally speaking, don't you only pay attention to and like it? Why are you so obsessed with female audiences?"

Gu Hanlin didn't understand before, why Liang Shaolong had to be used to create momentum for the event, making those little girls confused.This kid is so proud that his tail is going up in the sky recently, he always pretends to be a big star, and it makes people's teeth itch.

"You don't understand this. Only female fans..."

"Fans? Beef fans?"

Gu Hanlin asked with concern, "Are you hungry? I'll go buy it for you."

"Cough... I mean, female movie fans are 'True Fans'. Do men like female stars? Yes. Are men willing to spend money on female stars, and keep spending money—not necessarily!"

Luo Xiazhi waved his hands dumbfounded, and drank the ginger soup in one gulp.

According to Luo Xiazhi's observation of various entertainment app charts and entertainment news in his "last life" for many years, whether it is male or female celebrities, the degree of stickiness and enthusiasm of female fans is unmatched by male fans.

Otherwise, I have only heard of "female data workers in the rice circle", when have I heard of "male data workers"?

The degree of long-term affection, dedication and willingness to pay for female movie fans and female movie fans is completely unmatched by male fans.That's why there is a saying that "getting female fans wins the world".

Let’s not talk about those fanatical fans a hundred years from now, let’s just talk about now.

The aunt Lejia who chased Mei Lanfang for a lifetime in Tongrentang in Peking and finally married his photo is a real person in reality.

Not to mention far away, there is Ruan Lingyu in Shanghai who is near.

According to the historical trajectory, the movie queen died at the age of 25 after leaving a suicide note of "fearful words".

On the day of the funeral, 30 people attended his funeral in Shanghai.On the same day, five girls across the country committed suicide and left suicide notes roughly meaning "Ruan Lingyu is dead, what's the point of me being alive?"

May I ask which male movie fan would do this?

"In short, judging from the current situation, our beauty pageant is already half successful!"

Rorschach said without complacency.

By the way, there is another thing that makes him particularly happy recently - it is said that at the latest general meeting of shareholders of Sakura Department Store, someone has once again raised a proposal to impeach Luo Muze.

The previous two impeachment proposals were suppressed by Tsubaki Yingko with thunderbolt means, and they were aborted before reaching the formal process.

But this time, Tsubaki Yingko did not express any doubts about the impeachment case and allowed the proposal to proceed.

It is expected that at the monthly general meeting at the end of this month at the earliest, the major shareholders of Sakura Department Store will vote on whether Luo Muze will be the general manager.

"It is said that many people saw the scene of my second brother pleading with Tsubaki Yingzi with their own eyes. Some tabloid reporters even took pictures of the scene. But the news was bought off soon."

Luo Xiazhi said gloatingly, "Otherwise, all the newspapers in Shanghai would be full of rumors about my second brother's scandal and 'falling out of favor'."

"Until they're officially divorced, it's hard to say anything."

Gu Hanlin was not as optimistic as Luo Xiazhi.

He always felt that the Japanese had put so much effort into various layouts in Shanghai.A character like Tsubakizaemon, who is even willing to marry his daughter to a Chinese whom he despises so much, must have some kind of purpose.

This kind of purpose should not divert and change their overall strategic deployment because of Luo Muze's "favorite derailment" or "incompetence and despicableness"...

"I feel that at the end of this year, or early next year, something big will happen in Shanghai Bund."

Putting the tea bowl on the table beside him, Gu Hanlin also climbed onto the big bed, hugged Luo Xiazhi in his arms, and kissed his hair.

"You'd better ask your elder brother to pay attention... to strengthen the security around you. If you don't have enough guns, you can ask Liang Shaolong to borrow them."

"security?"

Luo Xiazhi turned his head vigilantly, "You mean...Luo Muze will come to assassinate my elder brother?"

"Maybe it's not just your elder brother. And you...even your mother."

Gu Hanlin finally expressed the doubts in his heart, "I think the so-called 'impeachment case' is just a cover-up. Your second sister-in-law is too scheming, we must not be blinded by these."

"She's thinking about our Luo family's property..."

Rorschach sneered.

"It depends on whether my eldest brother agrees or not."

Naturally, Luo Yunze would not agree to this kind of thing happening.

Soon, after the scandal of Luo Muze hooking up with a female employee was revealed, he knelt down and begged his Japanese wife for mercy, and he bought the article at a higher price, along with the live photo taken not far away, and published it at the same time. Several influential newspapers were published—helping my younger brother get divorced, the eldest brother is duty-bound.

The next day, Sakura Department Store issued a statement saying that the above report was completely fabricated, and that the blurred photos were groundless fabrications. Please don't believe it.

On the third day, a certain Japanese woman who did not want to be named appeared at the newspaper, saying that she was a "good friend" of the female employee.Her friend was threatened by the Chun family's father and daughter. Not only was her job lost, she was even asked to kill the child belonging to the second young master of the Luo family.She is willing to come forward to prove that the previous news is true, but she just asks Chun's family to let her friend and the child in her belly go.

child?He even got the kids out?

The eyeballs of Rorschach, who read the tabloids with gusto, were about to drop.

The second brother and the second sister-in-law should have no children yet, right?

He actually made other Japanese women's stomachs bigger, this second brother is very good at making troubles!

The matter is getting more and more fermented, and the people of Shanghai, who are very happy to eat melons, feel that the Luo family is really great. They add entertainment news to the people of Shanghai all day long, or should the Luo family just open another entertainment company?

"Those two Japanese women have been secretly sent back to Japan. Tsubaki Yingko was really angry this time. It is said that she fired a series of people in the department store in one go, and then slapped my second brother on the spot."

Not long after the incident happened, Luo Xiazhi got reliable news - Luo Muze was suspended from the position of general manager of Sakura Department Store, and is currently undergoing a three-month inspection.

After the inspection period is over, the shareholders of Sakura Department Store will vote on his formal stay.

However, the marriage between him and Chun Yingzi is still maintained-this further proves Gu Hanlin's guess.

"Two Japanese women? You mean, there are two 'mistresses' of your second brother?"

On this day, Liang Shaolong who came to Shimai Department Store to join in the fun asked in surprise.

"At least two... This is still on the stage. I don't know what's going on under the stage."

Luo Xiazhi was also quite surprised by this.

Unexpectedly, among their "three brothers", the second brother who is most looked down upon by his father is actually the one who "likes" him the most in some respects.

"And it's not just Japanese mistresses. Not to mention the time when Tsubaki Yingko didn't come to Shanghai. Even after she came to Shanghai, the second master had at least close contacts with 'socialites' from three or four countries. They even lived together for a short time... These are the profiles of the women he's dated."

Li Ye took the latest information and put it on Luo Xiazhi's desk, "The middleman said that they are very willing to use this 'love history' in exchange for a fortune. Third master, do we want to buy it?"

"No, no, let my second sister-in-law spend the money. The Chun family is not short of this money."

Rorschach waved his hands again and again.

Instead of worrying about being plotted against by her all day long, it is better for the Luo family to take the initiative to bring all the dark things to the table and force her to show her feet.

"Just wait and see, a good show will be staged soon."

Luo Xiazhi also spent a lot of money this time, and pulled a whole team of pistols from Liang Shaolong, and then "divided them into pieces" and dispersed these people under the Luo family's various industries.

These people are all veterans who have followed the Liang family to run the rivers and lakes since the old man Liang. They are loyal and skilled, and they will definitely play a role at critical moments.

"Compared to your second brother's good show, what I'm worried about now is how your beauty pageant will go on."

"What 'how to do it'? My beauty pageant was a huge success in the first audition, okay?"

Luo Xiazhi immediately retorted, "You were also at the scene that day, didn't you see how hot the scene was? The second match the day after tomorrow will definitely be more successful."

That's right, just last Saturday, the first audition was successfully held with great vigor and vitality.

The crowd of onlookers at the scene reached at least five or six thousand, breaking all previous records of Shimai Department Store's activities.

With the exception of the atrium, crowds of onlookers lined up on the balustrades of the stairs on every floor.Looking at it at a glance, I can only see a black cloud on the top of the head.All major newspapers have sent reporters to report, let alone Shanghai, the whole country may be paying attention to the event he created alone.

When "Flying Dragon", one of the guest judges of the audition, and Luo Xiazhi himself walked through the "flower road" paved with real flowers, the deafening screams almost knocked down the roof of the department store.

On the day of the competition, there were three judges—special guest "Flying Dragon", Luo Xiazhi, the general manager of Shimai Department Store, and the remaining one was temporarily acting as a temporary judge for "Xiao Feiyan", who was also a veteran of Shimai Department Store. Salesperson "Xiao Bailing".

When "Little Bailing" was in the "Xiantao Class", he sang Huadan.Because it is lively and cute, it is good for singing, reciting and fighting, and its size can be regarded as a "corner".If it hadn't been for the early marriage not long after entering the department store, it would be hard to say who the "kanban lady" is today.

However, Luo Xiazhi has already confirmed with "Little Feiyan", that she will return to Shanghai immediately after her honeymoon, and participate in the second half of the competition as a guest judge.

The content of the audition is very simple. Each contestant prepares a program, which can be singing, acting, dancing, or radio exercises if they don't know anything.Then three reviewers give "yes" and "no" evaluations respectively, and get two "yes" to enter the next round of competition.

The rules of the game, which seemed rotten after hundreds of years, were wildly affirmed by the audience that day.

The whole building was filled with deafening chants of "yes" and "no" before each judge announced his decision through the microphone.A few beauties with poor psychological quality, before the judges could even open their mouths, were immediately knocked down by the "no" from the onlookers and gave up the competition directly.

"By the way, 'Xiao Feiyan' really won't come back to work after getting married? Wouldn't it be a pity. Didn't 'Xiao Bailing' continue to work after getting married? Not a lot."

Hearing that "Little Feiyan" handed in his resignation letter before getting married, Gu Hanlin immediately felt deeply regretful.

If possible, he hopes that more women will continue to work in society after marriage, instead of going into the family and confining themselves between the stove and the bedroom.

Shimai Department Store is the first department store in Shanghai to recruit female salespersons and even dare to promote women to senior management positions. According to Luo Xiazhi's thinking, it is to lead a new fashion for women.

In this era when there is no comprehensive female labor protection law, Shimai Department Store took the lead in proposing to give female employees paid maternity leave and keep their jobs for at least half a year. Modern department stores with various ideas from Mai department store have not adopted this one so far.For them, this is completely unnecessary. Wouldn't it be good to recruit a younger and more beautiful girl?

"Xiao Feiyan", as half of the spokesperson of Shimai Department Store, took the lead in resigning, which is not a good thing.

"Don't worry about this, because my sister is going to study. At the beginning of next year, she will go to Europe to study abroad."

Luo Xiazhi said happily, "The Sun family is very happy to see their daughter-in-law continue to make progress. At the beginning of next year, Sun Xiaokai will accompany 'Xiao Feiyan' to study in Europe. 'Xiao Feiyan' is such a smart person, After I finish my studies and return to my country, I will surely 'go to a higher level'."

"Okay, let's not talk about 'Little Feiyan'. The point is, do you know what's going on in your beauty pageant now? Xiaoye, bring it here and show it to your third master. You have received note."

Li Ye opened the folder, and there was a pile of messy notes in it, and handed it to Luo Xiazhi.

"It's only the first round of the competition, and it's time to start making things happen? But the contestants are all official and intern salesgirls of Shimai Department Store. What kind of backing can they have to stand out for them?

Because this is the "cabinet sister has you" competition, the first condition is that all contestants must be salesgirls of Shimai Department Store.

As for the cabinet sisters who work in Shimai, except for the first batch of young ladies from the "Xiantao Class", they will continue to recruit in the society every year, and the applicants are also women from ordinary families or well-off families. graduate.

There are also girls who graduated from the charity girl school in Baifenghuang. Compared with ordinary applicants, these girls have the advantage of giving priority to internships.Many girls go out of the school dormitory and enter the staff dormitory. This is the best way out for girls after graduating from school.

So, who would pass notes for these girls who have no "background" at all?

Luo Xiazhi also couldn't figure it out, so he picked up a note.

Hey, what a coincidence, the first one I got was handed over by the boss Yu from "Heimei Toothpaste".

"What? He wants his daughter to come to our company as a saleswoman? And he wants to go directly to the finals? Is this old man crazy?"

With a big M on his brow, Luo Xiazhi couldn't figure out why someone would make such a strange request.

Don't want to be a dignified "female Xiaokai", but want to come to be a salesperson?Have a great day?

"It's not just Master Yu. In the past few days, many suppliers and VIP customers related to Shimai and Qizhongtian have come to me as 'Tongtongzi', wanting to arrange their daughters, nieces, and nieces. And there are several The family has let go, the championship is inevitable, no matter how much money is paid."

Li Ye also looked troubled.

"More than that, come on, please accept this note from me."

Gu Hanlin also took out a note from the pocket of the cotton robe and gown, and handed it to Luo Xiazhi, "This is a request from Chief Zhang of the Education Bureau. His family has a 16-year-old daughter who also wants to participate in this competition." Please Boss Luo, give me a chance."

"Crazy!"

Luo Xiazhi rolled his eyes furiously, making Liang Shaolong laugh out loud, after all it was rare to see Luo Xiazhi deflated.

Beauty pageants for salesgirls are not "Miss China" or "Miss Shanghai". What are they doing?

"What should I do, third master? These people can't be offended casually."

Li Ye knew that what Luo Xiazhi hated most was Mu's routine?

In the past, there were a few starlets who obviously didn't have many fans, and they didn't have any good works. They even wanted Time Magazine to issue a special issue for them and put them on the cover.

After a round of greetings, he handed the notes to Luo Xiazhi, but he finally rejected them all.

"It is my consistent principle to refuse to pay for 'Hot Search'."

At that time, as usual, Mr. Luo said something so profound that no one could understand.

From then on, Li Ye and other people in the magazine realized that their third master hated the "curtain" in the entertainment industry the most?

Now that the third master is holding a beauty pageant for the first time, these "curtains" are rolling in.He pressed one or two notes, but he really couldn't press so many notes?

If Principal Gu hadn't brought Liang Shaolong to visit the company today, he wouldn't know when he would have the courage to say this to the third master.

"How about I...reject all of them?"

Li Ye lowered his voice and asked cautiously.

"No, satisfy them."

Luo Xiazhi was also furious at first, and wanted to tear up these notes directly.But after turning his brain around, he realized that there is actually a better way——

"Since Ms. Yu wants to be a salesperson, let's let her do it. Let her come to stand at the counter when we come to us as the spokesperson of 'Black Girl Toothpaste'—I mean, if she really wants to come. I can give She has the title of 'Miss Black Sister'. But she can't enter the official competition, she can only be...a 'specially invited contestant'. That's right! That's it!"

Rorschach to Mao Sai suddenly opened.

"And these...well, very good. 'Miss Big Head Match', 'Miss Golden Dragon Shampoo', 'Miss Old Horse Hemorrhoid Ointment', 'Miss Crane Thermos'... very good, just these great 'Dad 'With your sponsorship, our year-end dividend will hit a new high."

"Xiao Xia, are you serious? Don't you have a fever?"

Miss hemorrhoid cream, hot water bottle, the more Liang Shaolong heard it, the more he felt that Luo Xiazhi was joking, so he stretched out his paw to touch his forehead with concern.

Then it was opened by Gu Hanlin who was standing beside him.

"Of course it's serious! For the competition, there are still 'wild card' players in the game. Besides, these people are willing to pay sponsorship fees, so why push it out?"

Finding a new way of thinking, Luo Xiazhi said excitedly, "But the ugly thing is first, once these 'department store ladies' officially sign up, they must stand at the counter of our department store for at least half a year, and they are not allowed to arrive late and leave early. Shi Mai will pay them wages and arrange normal vacations. If they dare to lose their temper and offend customers during work, then I will ask their fathers and uncles to double the losses!"

Hey!

The daughter-in-law of "Black Girl Toothpaste" personally came to Shimai department store to sell goods at the counter. This is much more exciting than asking a celebrity to advertise his toothpaste in a magazine!

The author has something to say: Hey!The thing about Miss Bai Yuting marrying the photo in the drama "The Mansion Gate" is true. It is the "star-chasing feat" of the great-aunt of Tongrentang Lejia in the background.Now fans, where are you going!

Me, I never thought that my first negative review on Double Eleven this year would be for an unhappy lemon milk tea shop.Yesterday I bought their coupons on the Ele.me APP, but today all the stores around me that said “Unhappy Lemons” that participated in the event directly closed the self-pickup window, or they said that they were out of stock all day long won't let me buy it.It caused me to run to several unhappy lemon shops today, wasting half a day, and it really pissed me off!I just received a customer service call from Ele.me, saying that they have no choice but to go to another store to buy it. I have to take a car to the next area to buy a milk tea?snort!Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during 2020-11-1120 08:04:2020~11-1220-25 04:[-]:[-]~
