Chapter 742 The Feast of the Capital that is about to Begin
"Youdaoxuan" was picked up by Ye An himself, "a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way", but almost everyone who can appear here is one of the top shopkeepers in Puhui Company.
In the past, they were all calm and calm. They could change the prices in Tokyo with just one sentence. They could come up with a plan to deal with the crisis in a short time. But it was different today. Everyone looked at them with the same expression.
It is full of tension, and within this tension is an uncontrollable excitement.
With the arrival of Cao Yi and Li Zunxu, this tension reached its highest point, followed by various whispers and buzzes...
"General Cao and General Li are here! It seems they are inseparable!"
"Why didn't anyone from the Wang family come?"
"Hey! How many shares does the Wang family hold? They just pay dividends and get money, and they don't have to make any decisions!"
"Why do you say our department store is about to open?"
"It should be. I see that I have been going out with oxcarts these days, but I have never come back. We from Anshun Cart and Horse Company asked, and they just said that they need to use Zhuangzi outside the city, and how many are needed. I heard that recently there are many oxcarts in Tokyo City.
My money has increased a lot, but I’m still driving out!”
During these whispers, Ye An smiled calmly, looked at Cao Yi and Li Zunxu beside him and said: "It seems that it is really what everyone expected! Our Puhui Department Store will make money soon!"
Cao Yi snorted dissatisfied: "I told you to listen to my brother earlier and open the shop first. You have to wait until the New Year. If you open it earlier, you may not be able to make back your money on New Year's Eve this year!"
"Get your money back?! Brother, I really dare to think about it! It will be good to get back my money next spring. We may have to wait until autumn. For this department store, other stores of our store have given many discounts! We still have to take the money earned by Puhui Department Store.
Use some of it to make up for the shortfalls of other shops!"
When this was mentioned, Li Zunxu next to him had his head full of lawsuits. He looked at Cao Yi and said, "Are you worried?! Do you know that in order to supplement Puhui Department Store, our store can only raise some prices, so that the two Zhao brothers
How many old customers has Fufeng Company poached? How many large orders has it robbed? Not to mention the ones that were stolen by other companies! Changsheng has already said before that there is no rush, no rush, you better insist on urging.
Come on, take a look!"
"Eh?! Lao Li, what you said is a bit exaggerated. Oh, I'm just worried, aren't you? Who told me to open the business quickly and make money quickly? If the goods are not enough, we can slowly replenish them. Now it's up to you to be a good person and help me
Throw it out for thunder? Why, if we lose money this year, will my Cao family pay for it?!"
Ye An didn't say anything. He just stood aside quietly and watched with a smile as Cao Yi and Li Zunxu "hurt each other". After both of them saw Ye An's expressions, they became embarrassed and silent.
"Two brothers, are you done arguing? Continue! Everyone is watching! You two are very powerful. The big bosses of Puhui Company are watching your quarrel.
Don’t you even want to lose face?”
Seeing Ye An secretly mocking them, Cao Yi and Li Zunxu shook their heads and crossed their hands to apologize to the big shopkeepers around them. Only then did the noise in Daoxuan quiet down.
Ye An stood up slowly, looked at the expectant and scorching eyes around him, poured a basin of cold water on it without hesitation, and said: "We will definitely be in debt this year. The financial department estimates that we will lose one-third of our income in the first half of the year."
, you may ask, our shop is making money, why are we still losing money?"
Following Ye An's words, everyone took a breath of cold air. The monthly turnover of Puhui Store was frightening. It lost one-third of its revenue in the first half of the year. How much money it lost!
This is not a loss of money, but a real loss, which will be paid back! No one expected that Puhui Company would still lose money today. This does not make sense!
Everyone has seen the excellence of Puhui Department Store, but no one has noticed the investment and construction of factories by Puhui during this period, and no one has noticed that Puhui Store outside Tokyo has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"The losses I'm talking about are not the losses of each store, but the losses incurred by the main office in the workshop this year, labor losses, and business losses... Some people want to concentrate on doing big things in our Puhui store.
Pounce on us and bite us, or in other words, all the large and small businesses in Tokyo are waiting for us to collapse!
I, Ye An, still say the same thing, I do business openly and my Puhui Company looks down on everyone. At this time, it is not my ability to pry away customers from us! Shopkeepers, don’t worry, how can there be a guarantee of profit in business?
If you give up, you will get something. Tell the owners behind the shops that if they don't want the signboard of our Puhui firm, it's okay. If you need to withdraw your shares, you can withdraw your shares and pay the fees for breach of contract. From then on, it will be a different road.
My Puhui store has never been open to entry and exit!"
Following Ye An's words, the expressions of the shopkeepers present changed. Many stores in Puhui Stores have joined in this form of contract. Once a large-scale withdrawal occurs, the prestige and goodwill of the store may be shaken.
What you do business with is your reputation. Once your reputation is not good, no matter how hard the goods are, no customers will come to your door.
Looking at the noisy crowd, Ye An smiled and said nothing. Obviously, these big shopkeepers are not optimistic about retreat as a way to advance. Recently, many shops have been shaken. Under the instigation of some businesses, they are even willing to pay high liquidated damages.
I wanted to quit Puhui Company, but in the blink of an eye I went to another company.
Needless to say, those people in Tokyo who were ready to take action started to take action.
Those who can run a business in Tokyo are not ordinary people. The Fufeng Company of the Zhao brothers is a strong rival. Because they are rich and powerful, they have no scruples. Coupled with the name of the clan, many shops that were originally Puhui businesses have lost their business.
Defection in battle.
This is a normal business behavior, and Ye An will naturally not care about it, but their methods are too despicable. They often use deceptive means to spread rumors about Puhui Company, and gain benefits for themselves by slandering others.
The shopping mall was like a battlefield. Although Ye An did not take action against Fufeng Store, he regarded it as an imaginary enemy after learning that it was a store opened by the Zhao brothers.
Many of the goods in Fufeng Store overlapped with Puhui Store, and after taking away part of Puhui Store, the stores and businesses of the two companies became highly similar.
"The reason why Puhui Department Store should open at the end of the year is to earn back the lost money after it opens next year! You should know the purpose of my coming today. The opening of Puhui Department Store will be put on the agenda from today! It must be in the twelfth lunar month.
Opening on the 18th auspicious day!”
After Ye An settled down, everyone in Youdaoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month was naturally a good day. After nearly half a year of preparation and a lot of human and financial resources, the Puhui Department Store, which had already been named, was finally about to open.
.
The big shopkeepers present are not ordinary people. They have all been in the business world for many years. These oldest professional managers have their own ethics and their own insights.
The prospects given by Ye An fascinated them, and Puhui Department Store seemed to them to be a feast for the business world.
