"Xiao San, let's go back first. If you need any help, please let us know." Fang Yiai, Chang Sun Chong and others said goodbye to Zhang San. The end of the year is coming soon, and the imperial court will evaluate various officials. Although
Most of these people are filling their positions, but they still have to perform well so as not to embarrass their elders.
"Okay, brothers, let's meet up another day. I'll arrange for someone to deliver the candies you want in the afternoon." Zhang San replied.
At this time, Cui Xi was sitting in the Fuyun Candy Store with a sad face. He asked the people sent to investigate Xingsheng Trading Company to come back. After listening to the report of the subordinates, Cui Xi was a little worried.
Although Fuyun Sugar Store relied on the power of the Cui family to snatch away the distributors around Chang'an in Zhangjiacun, it thought that Zhang Sanna Sugar Factory would be in ruins, but it was unexpected that the other party would also open a store now.
The most important thing is that as the servants who keep inquiring about the news come back, Cui Xi feels that Fuyun Candy Store seems to be unable to fight against them.
"Cui Hua, how do you think our Fuyun Candy Store should respond?" Cui Xi asked.
"Steward Cui, I don't have a good solution for this at the moment." Cui Hua was also depressed. He originally thought he had gotten a good job, but he didn't expect that he was being trained by Cui Xi every day to lose his temper.
In particular, the opponent he faced, the Zhangjiacun Commune Sugar Factory, used frequent tactics and various tricks, making it difficult to guard against them.
"There is no other way? Then you came to this Fuyun Candy Store just to eat free rice?" Cui Xi became very angry when he heard this.
"I...Steward Cui, how about we continue to follow their example?" Cui Hua asked cautiously.
"Every time you use the same method that others have used, where do we put the Cui family's face, don't you use your brain and come up with some novel ideas?" Last time someone set up a dessert station to try it out, I also learned it, and it ended in trouble.
The gain outweighs the loss, and she has to learn this time. Cui Xi is afraid that similar results will occur again like last time.
"Steward Cui, calm down. I'll think about it carefully and I'll definitely be able to come up with a solution." Cui Hua is also trying to catch up, so he can only agree first and then think of a solution later.
The opening event of Xingsheng Commercial Bank was undoubtedly a success. In the next two days, it instantly became the hottest topic in Chang'an, with many people coming to visit.
We also received a large number of new orders, including a large family who wanted to build a candy house in their house to satisfy the cravings of their women and children.
However, this request was rejected by Zhang San, because what Zhang San wanted was to be unique. Only in this way can it attract more people. The candy house or candy tree are also gimmicks and companion items to enhance the customer experience.
In a shop in Xifang City, Chang'an Street, shopkeeper Lu was a little melancholy. Shopkeeper Lu was amazed by the grand opening of Xingsheng Commercial Bank two days ago and regretted his original behavior.
The batch of candies I brought in from Fuyun Candy Store have been here for five or six days, but I only sold a little bit in the first two days, and no one cared about them after that.
After asking an acquaintance of the customers, I found out that the candy I bought last time had an astringent taste when I ate it back and was not as mellow as before.
Shopkeeper Lu went to the warehouse in the backyard and opened a bag and tasted it himself. Sure enough, it was different from what he had checked for himself in advance. First, it was not sweet enough, and secondly, it had an astringent taste, and the color was not so crystal clear.
.
The angry shopkeeper Lu went to Fuyun Candy Store to argue, but they ignored him at all, saying that he had to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.
Later, shopkeeper Lu found shopkeeper Deng, who was familiar with him, but the result was the same at his place. Both of them were mute and suffered from Coptis chinensis.
Thinking back to the original treatment of purchasing goods in Zhangjiacun, it was like a day-to-day treatment.
At that time, every time I went to Zhangjiacun Commune, there would be someone serving tea and water. The service was very attentive. If there was a problem with the quality of the sugar, they would compensate me. Even though I and others breached the contract last time, they still refunded the deposit. , this credit is really incomparable!
It's a pity that I and others were deceived by lard, were greedy for gain, and were also afraid of the power of the Cui family, so they did something so cruel.
If I didn’t cancel the order at the beginning, it would be better to order less goods later!
…
"Sire, the business of our store has been very booming these two days. According to your instructions, we have counted different types of candies and candies. Judging from these figures, the large category of Chinese-text candies is more popular. Followed by milk candies, fruit candies are inferior." Su Xin is now supervising the finance of Xingsheng Commercial Bank. Judging from the two days of trial operation, Xingsheng Commercial Bank's performance is very impressive.
The total turnover in the past few days has exceeded one hundred guan. According to the information Muramasa has obtained, it is more than twice as high as that of Fuyun Candy Store.
"New things will always be popular for a period of time when they first appear, and then they will enter a cooling-off period. From now on, sales statistics must be done regularly so that we can adjust production based on market feedback." Zhang San said as he closed the bill.
"Okay Sir, I will ask someone to register." Su Xin replied.
"Third brother, sister Su Xin, you are here too!" The younger sister ran to the study and saw Su Xin also saying hello.
"What's wrong, little sister, if you want to build a candy house like that, don't talk about it. It's not good to eat too much candy. It will cause tooth decay in the future." Zhang San said helplessly.
"Third brother, just make one and see. I promise not to eat it." The little girl said coquettishly.
"Sister Su Xin and Sister Xiaoyu also want it, but they are too embarrassed to say whether it is Sister Su Xin?" the younger sister said to Su Xin, blinking her eyes.
"You guys talk about that, I have something else to do and I'm going out first." Su Xin smiled bitterly and quickly found an excuse to run away.
Seeing that Su Xin didn't help her, the younger sister also left angrily, ready to think of another solution.
The matters at the direct-operated store came to an end for the time being, and Zhang San was free. Over at the school, the newly joined Taiyuan Prefecture and the locals from Zhangjiacun got along well with each other, which made Zhang San gradually feel relieved.
The wind blew all night. When Zhang San got up early the next morning, he saw that the yard was covered with snow.
Sister-in-law Li was directing her men to clear the snow, and when they saw Zhang San, they all stopped to salute and say hello.
"Zhang Fu, it snowed so heavily at night, no one in the village suffered any damage, right?" Zhang San came to the front hall and asked when he saw Zhang Fu.
"Sir, everything is fine in the village. Every household in our village has been renovated with bricks and tiles this year, and they are strong. Even if it snows and you stay indoors, it won't be cold," Zhang Fu replied.
"That's good, it's really cold today." Zhang San wrapped up his tight cotton coat and looked at the snow outside, sighing silently in his heart: It's been almost a year, and the hometown in his dream is finally back. No more, the past is like smoke, let go with the wind!
