Lin Mai sneered: "You are so aggressive in asking for money!
Let me ask you, why did Unique not withdraw? Did you change your mind out of compassion?"
Manager Kong looked a little embarrassed: "Why worry about those details? It's a fact that Unico didn't leave the show."
Lin Mai had a sarcastic look on his face: "As the largest and most famous shopping mall manager in Jiangcheng, how can you speak at this level? You are as arrogant as a shrew!
It's your mall that takes advantage, so of course you don't care about the details.
Since you don’t have to worry about the details, I will return you one penny of liquidated damages.
Although the liquidated damages of 50,000 yuan are not fully returned, please don’t worry about the details.”
Manager Kong was stunned.
Lin Mai raised his chin and said provocatively: "Isn't it just strong words? I can do that too!"
She continued: "Younike didn't withdraw from the store. It was the secretary of the provincial party committee who kept it. It's not that your mall didn't break the contract!
So you have no choice but to ask me for liquidated damages, there is no need for me to pay them back!"
What Lin Mai said was reasonable and well-founded, and Manager Kong could not refute it.
But he couldn't explain it to his superiors without getting the liquidated damages back, and the manager was in trouble.
Just when Manager Kong didn't know what to do, Lin Mai softened his tone and said: "In business, harmony is the most important thing.
You are unkind, but I cannot be unjust.
I'm not short-sighted. I won't take that fifty thousand yuan seriously at all.
As long as you change my Unique clothing to a better position, I will refund you 50,000 yuan immediately."
She knew in her heart that if she died and refused to pay back the 50,000 yuan in liquidated damages, Jiangcheng Shopping Mall would definitely give her little shoes and make her suffer.
Instead of doing that, it is better to take a step back and make terms with Manager Kong, and both parties will be happy.
Manager Kong thought that the 50,000 yuan in liquidated damages would never be returned, and he felt extremely miserable.
After hearing what Lin Mai said, he felt overjoyed and agreed: "I will change places for Younice right away."
Lin Mai, however, looked indifferent, waved to him, and walked away.
After returning home, Lin Mai first called Ke Ziqing and asked her whether the prices of ready-made clothes along the coast were rising or falling.
"Increase." Ke Ziqing answered simply and clearly, "The increase is not small."
Lin Mai was relieved now,
She pointed to this wave of price increases and made him a pot of gold.
Just as Lin Mai was about to hang up the phone, he heard Ke Ziqing say: "You haven't been to Guangzhou for a long time, when will you come again?"
Lin Mai asked: "Are there any good goods? If not, I won't come."
Although she asked this, she had no intention of reaching the top of her life by selling goods processed by the customs. It was still possible to make a fortune.
The goods handled by the customs can only make a lot of money in this poor era.
In ten or twenty years, when the country's economy has improved, its materials have become richer, and imported goods have become more popular, who will want those goods that have been backlogged for a long time?
Ke Ziqing thought seriously: "There is a batch of bras, as well as some cookies and candies, do you want them?"
"Bra."
Although the bras she bought before were selling well in the mall, Lin Mai doesn't plan to buy them anymore.
The bras smuggled from abroad are too sexy and too avant-garde in Jiangcheng. They are niche products and can easily fall on your hands.
"I don't want a bra. I want cookies and candies. Brown sugar and white sugar would be even better."
If the Fuduoduo market sells brown sugar and white sugar for free during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they will definitely make a lot of money.
You shouldn’t have to worry about selling the candies when you get them back.
September and October are the wedding seasons, and those newlyweds who are having weddings need wedding candies.
In addition to the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, some people will also buy candies to entertain guests.
Moreover, Chen Feng can also be asked to sell some candies to his related households, so there is not much pressure.
On the other end of the phone, Ke Ziqing touched her ears and said apologetically: "There are some brown and white sugars, but they have been bought by capable people a long time ago. A small clerk like me can't compete with those people."
"It's okay," Lin Mai thought for a while and said, "I'll go to Guangzhou after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Ke Ziqing said hello, and then said: "There happens to be a batch of luncheon meat that is about to expire. Do you want it? If so, I can order it for you first."
Luncheon meat is a good thing in this day and age.
Lin Mai hurriedly said: "Then you can make a decision, and I can also order biscuits and candies."
After thinking about it, fearing that the night would be long and full of dreams, he said: "I will remit money to you tomorrow, so you might as well buy it for me directly.
Then go to Director Kong Lingxiang Kong who is in charge of consignment at Guangzhou Passenger Terminal.
Give me my name and ask him to help with the consignment, so that I can sell this batch of supplies before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
After a pause, she reminded: "Don't forget to give me a fifty yuan red envelope, or I won't go to Guangzhou."
On the other end of the phone, Ke Ziqing said disappointedly: "You're not coming to Guangzhou anymore."
Lin Mai apologized: "I'm too busy."
Ke Ziqing was silent for a while, then suddenly became happy: "Why do I insist on you coming to Guangzhou?
I can go to Jiangcheng, but I have never been to Jiangcheng."
Lin Mai smiled and said: "Wow, wow, warm welcome! When will you come, I can prepare in advance."
Ke Ziqing thought for a moment: "It's National Day. Aren't you getting engaged on National Day? I'll drink your wedding wine."
Lin Mai nodded: "Okay, okay!"
After talking to Ke Ziqing on the phone, Lin Mai called Chen Feng again.
Ask him to help investigate the relationship between Wang Rong and the boss of Ximan Clothing.
Wang Rong challenged her to see if she could fight back.
After hanging up the phone, she picked up the book and started studying on her own.
Not even a quarter of an hour later, Manager Kong called.
He said that he had adjusted the location of Unique's store and asked her to send 50,000 yuan immediately.
Lin Mai rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart, "You just gave me money if you asked me to? That's a good idea!"
Money will be given, but she must make things difficult, otherwise she will think she is a soft persimmon and want to pinch her in the future.
She said coldly: "What's the rush? I won't refund the money until three months later. If you don't want to wait for me, you'll leave."
Manager Kong didn’t expect Lin Mai’s attitude to be so tough and said angrily:
"It's not what you said. As long as I change Unique's position to a better one, you will immediately refund the money. Why did you change your mind again?"
Lin Mai sneered disdainfully in his heart, but his tone was very helpless: "You can't blame me for this.
I have to blame you for breaking the contract before, which made me feel frightened, so I changed my mind.
Again, if you accept it, I will refund the money after three months. If you don’t agree, I will just get out."
The initiative was in Lin Mai's hands, and Manager Kong had to give in.
Lin Mai hung up the phone and continued studying, when someone knocked on the door again.
Lin Mai went to open the door, and the people who came were Zheng Xudong and Wang Xiaoli.
Lin Mai let them in and asked, "Why are you here?"
Wang Xiaoli: "I'm here to hand over the ledger."
Zheng Xudong: "I'm here to hand in the planning document."
Lin Mai smiled and said: "You are so efficient at work, but I like it."
She asked them to sit down and look at the account book Wang Xiaoli brought first.
Since the opening of Human Fireworks, business has been getting better and better day by day.
She closed the account book and said to Wang Xiaoli: "Business is good.
My suggestion is that in addition to finding a storefront nearby to open a flagship store of Renjing Fireworks BBQ restaurant to replace the current barbecue restaurant, you can also open a branch store at the street entrance and Simenmen entrance.
There are many universities near the street entrance. As long as we do good marketing and have college students as the main force, we don't have to worry about not being able to do business.
Simenmen is a commercial area with a large flow of people. If we open a branch there, the location is also good.”
Zheng Xudong interjected: "I have also taken a fancy to the location at Simenmen and plan to open a delicious branch there.
The best branch is right next to the Simen Commercial Building.
In this way, customers who are tired of shopping can come directly to our store for consumption.
Our two snack bars are currently doing good business, which has a lot to do with their proximity to Jiangcheng Shopping Mall."
Lin Mai nodded: "The analysis is correct."
Wang Xiaoli turned to Zheng Xudong and said, "When you choose the storefronts for Bao Haochi, you can also help me with the storefronts of the two branches."
Before Zheng Xudong spoke, Lin Mai said: "You can handle your own affairs by yourself."
Wang Xiaoli raised her eyebrows helplessly and lowered her head.
Lin Mai looked through Zheng Xudong's planning book.
The plan is written in a very orderly manner, including where you want to open a branch and why you chose this location.
After Lin Mai read it, he returned the plan to Zheng Xudong: "Just follow the plan you wrote."
She smiled: "The burden on your shoulders is not light, you have to buy a lot of appearance.
You also have to find employees for the branch.
We also need to manage the current Baohaochi snack shop on Jiefang Road.
Those who are able should work harder. When buying a storefront, buy some second-hand houses, as long as they are in villages in the city."
Zheng Xudong was very curious as to why Lin Mai wanted a second-hand house in an urban village.
But it was strange, and he didn't ask Lin Mai why.
As a subordinate, he knows very well which words should be said and which words should not be said.
After talking about business, the two said goodbye and left.
Lin Mai continued studying and didn't put down his pen until about half past four.
Put the stationery bought for Doudou into kindergarten into the small schoolbag Tao Zhiyun made for her.
Then he took his small schoolbag and the denim suit Tao Zhiyun made for Doudou and rode his bicycle to Jiangcheng Mall.
Manager Kong found that Unique had been given a good seat.
Although it is not as good as the prime location of Ximan Clothing, it is already good. Customers can see it as soon as they go to the second floor.
Lin Mai was very satisfied.
Unique's clothing is cheaper than Seaman's and has an advantage in price.
Now that the location is not bad, business is booming and the three promoters are very busy.
On the other hand, at Seaman, business immediately cooled down.
Several salespeople at Ximan Clothing glanced at Unico Clothing unkindly from time to time.
Manager Kong saw Lin Mai and walked over: "How is it? Are you satisfied with the location?"
Lin Mai said lightly: "It's okay."
After that, he didn't want to talk to him any more, so he turned around and left.
Manager Kong was left standing there fuming.
Guan Yonghua received the news that Jiangcheng Mall had adjusted Unique Clothing from the corner to a better location, so he rushed over to learn about the situation.
Seeing that the business in his own clothing store was bleak, while the business of Unico clothing was booming, his face suddenly darkened.
I immediately found Manager Kong and asked what was going on.
Manager Kong knew that he had the backing of Director Hu from the National Development and Reform Commission.
Throwing Unique in the corner is what Director Hu meant.
Therefore, he cannot afford to offend the boss of Ximan Clothing.
But he had already thought of a countermeasure.
Spreading his hands, he said: "I can't help it. The secretary of the provincial party committee asked our shopping mall to arrange it this way."
Just blame everything on the secretary of the provincial party committee.
Their Jiangcheng Mall cannot afford to offend Director Hu, so is the Provincial Party Committee Secretary afraid of him?
Manager Kong is not afraid of Director Hu going to the provincial party committee secretary to confront him.
He was criticized by the Provincial Party Committee Secretary yesterday, so how dare you go to him!
Besides, yesterday the Provincial Party Committee Secretary criticized Director Hu because he suppressed local private enterprises.
However, he did not repent and continued to suppress local private enterprises.
When he confronted the secretary of the provincial party committee about this matter, did he want to be criticized again or did he want to lose his official position?
When Guan Yonghua heard that it was the provincial party committee secretary, he was immediately dumbfounded.
Come in force and leave in despair.
Lin Mai left Jiangcheng Shopping Mall and rode his bicycle to Fuduoduo Food Market.
During lunch, Doudou said she wanted to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Grandma Fang specifically told Lin Mai to buy some tomatoes when she came to cook in the afternoon.
Lin Mai walked around the market twice and didn't see any tomatoes for sale.
Asked an aunt who was in charge of selling vegetables: "Are there no tomatoes for sale today, or are there no tomatoes at all?"
The salesperson laughed: "What kind of season is it now? Where can we still sell tomatoes? Tomatoes have long been out of season."
Many vegetables will be out of season soon. From now on, you can only buy cabbage, spinach, and chrysanthemum.
Beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants...all are unavailable."
Lin Mai thought that he could grow off-season vegetables and sell them.
From autumn to early spring, during this period, Fu Duoduo can make a fortune by selling off-season vegetables.
Although he didn't buy tomatoes, Lin Mai was quite surprised to find that there were still a few fat ducks that were not sold out.
The purpose of Fuduoduo Market is that fresh food such as live poultry and fish cannot be left overnight and must be sold out on the same day.
Because they were not sold out, there was no place or manpower to raise them at night.
And people in this era don’t like to buy white-striped chicken, white-striped duck and fish that have already been killed.
Therefore, the quantity of live poultry and fish is controlled every day, and they are usually sold out before 5 pm.
Lin Mai bought a fat duck and a large grass carp and asked the staff to take care of them. He also bought a few vegetables and went to the villa.
Doudou and Ah Huang were the only ones playing games in the front yard.
Lin Mai opened the courtyard door with a key, pushed his bicycle in, and asked Doudou: "Where are my great-grandfather and great-grandmother?"
Doudou Nai said in a sweet voice: "They are tired from playing, so they are all resting at home."
Lin Mai closed the courtyard door, parked his bicycle, took out the small schoolbag Tao Zhiyun made for Doudou, and shook it at her: "Dangdangdang, what is this?"
Doudou ran over happily and was so surprised: "It's a small schoolbag!"
Then she couldn't wait to ask Lin Mai to carry her on her back and ran towards the villa.
While running, he shouted: "Grandpa, grandma, I have a new schoolbag!"
Ah Huang followed her, shaking his head and screaming as he ran.
With a smile on her face, Lin Mai walked towards the villa carrying the fat duck and vegetables she bought.
