Chapter 84: New Store Opening
"It's going to take too long to get over here."
"The price can't be set too low! But it's also a little cheaper than in the local area. Ji Feifan was the first to speak.
After coming over, they also found that it was really difficult for this Qiguang Mansion to develop.
This place is located in a remote area, and the things from the outside can't be transported in, and the things inside can't be brought out, so the prices of some basic rice, flour, grain, oil and the like are very high.
Compared to other places, it has reached a point where the opportunity is difficult to accept.
Qiu Yan nodded and recorded it first.
The group discussed for two or three hours, until it was almost dark, and then the pricing of all the items was completely finalized.
After that, I was ready to arrange for someone to start the first shot of business.
When the store officially opened on the second day, Qiu Yan and his wife took Shen Fengxing and them, deliberately changed into extremely festive red clothes and stood in front of the store, and specially hung two strings of firecrackers with hundreds of sounds.
People beat gongs and drums to promote the opening of their new store, and at the same time, in order to celebrate the opening of the big reward, a certain discount activity is also given.
In fact, there are not a lot of people in Qiguang Mansion, and the area of this place is very large, and the Qiu County Order has never exploited them, so in the past two years, there have been quite a lot of people who have fled from other places.
found that in Qiuyan's newly opened store, the prices of rice, flour, grain and oil that they usually need are quite affordable, much cheaper than those in many stores.
Under their vigorous publicity, on the first day of opening, business was naturally quite good, and many customers were ushered in.
Qiu Yan and the others stood at the door to receive them, with smiles on their faces, and they gave Lu Chiye a look proudly.
whispered, "Well, I just said that we will make a lot of money by opening a store here, right?" I was right! ”
"Yes, my wife is smart, after our store has been open for a period of time and made money, we can prepare to open a branch, and we can live up to the expectations of the people above."
The husband and wife are still bright about the future at this time.
When some guests come to question why the price on their side is so cheap, Qiuyan and they will publicize the express delivery by the way and explain to them one by one.
"We have a dedicated team to deliver to us, so don't worry."
"Everything sold in our store is guaranteed by quality, once there is a real problem, you can come to us for compensation with the shopping voucher, if it is fake, please rest assured."
The price of the things bought is quite fair, and the service attitude of the people is very good, and the local people naturally come to buy it.
It's just two or three days, and the news of Qiuyan's opening of the store has been known to most people.
With such an impact, it naturally has a more serious impact on other stores with relatively high prices.
The shopkeeper of several shops saw that the morning had passed, and there were not a few customers in their own store, and when they heard that they had all gone to see the newly opened store, the shopkeeper who took the lead had a gloomy and terrible face, and said viciously.
"What a face for them! Outsiders actually dare to come and steal business with us, this time we must not let them go! ”
"That's right, Brother Liu, we have known you for many years, and we have been doing business together all these years, and we have long been grasshoppers on a rope. How can we be robbed of our benefits by this foreign population? ”
"Anyway, you should be careful these days and take a closer look at how they operate."
"If we use the price to grab the land, we can also lower the price a little bit and grab their business back first!"
"As long as they don't have the money to continue their business, they will naturally leave, just like many people before." The shopkeeper Liu, who took the lead, said sinisterly, and the other shopkeepers naturally agreed.
Qiu Yan was in a good mood at the beginning, feeling that the business was getting better and better, and she also gave so many people the convenience of express delivery, and the development of express delivery here in the future will be more and more smooth.
Therefore, a list was specially hung in the most conspicuous position of the store.
It is a detailed record of the things that can be purchased from outside for them, and the prices are clearly marked.
She and Lu Chiye both thought very simply, and felt that since they could buy high-quality and low-cost products from other places, the people must be quite supportive.
As long as someone makes the first crab to eat, the subsequent development will be smoother and smoother.
Therefore, after hanging up the order, Qiu Yan quietly waited for the business to come to the door.
But after waiting for several days, no business was negotiated.
Although some people came to inquire, when they heard that they had to pay money before they could help them buy things, the people retreated.
After many days in a row, there was not even a single express business.
A few days later, the group sat on the upper floor of the store again, discussing the obstruction of the development of express delivery, and they all had sad faces.
Shen Fengxing really couldn't imagine why the local people were so ignorant.
Frowning, he asked Lu Chiye beside him, "Brother, what's going on?" ”
"Although the list posted by my sister-in-law says that because the road is not easy to walk, it will take a little longer to transport things over, but we are still open, so we won't run away! Why don't those people believe us? ”
"There's no way, after all, we're from out of town, and no one here knows us, so they don't want to believe it."
"We have to find a way to let everyone really feel the benefits of express delivery, otherwise it will not be able to develop here." Lu Chiye replied seriously.
Listening to the discussion between the two, Qiu Yan, who was the first to propose to start a courier business here, felt quite frustrated.
After clenching his fist vigorously to keep himself calm, he turned his head to look at Lu Chiye and asked sincerely.
"Husband, tell me the truth, is there something wrong with the way I used before?"
"Obviously, on our side, the development of express delivery is quite lively, why do we encounter many obstacles here? Not even a little business. ”
This point really made Qiu Yan puzzled.
Express delivery is such a convenient and fast thing, she thought that no matter where it was promoted, it would be very smooth.
As a result, she didn't expect to suffer a blow to the head here, which made her feel a little dizzy at this moment.
"I don't blame you for this." Lu Chiye patted Qiu Yan's arm comfortingly, and shook his head helplessly.
"I guess that the reason why express delivery can't develop here is actually related to their living habits here."
"In the long-term impression of the villagers, they don't believe that there is such a convenient way to buy things in this world, and they can guarantee good quality and low price, so they are suspicious."
"But I told you we'd make sure we'll arrive! If something goes wrong, they will be compensated, so what are they worried about? Our shop is still open here. Qiu Yan's eyebrows were furrowed so much that he could kill a fly.
She didn't expect it to be so difficult to handle business in different realms, and suddenly she felt a little frustrated.
Just when the three of them were discussing the solution with sad faces, Ji Feifan, who came in from the door, shouted in a panic.
"The head of the house, ma'am, someone from outside has come to visit, saying that he wants to see you two in person."
"Who is the other party? Seen it before? Lu Chiye raised his head and asked directly.
"I seem to have seen it, it seems to be a few local shopkeepers, and when I went out with the head of the family and his wife to inspect the business of the store, I seemed to have a relationship." Ji Feifan replied.
"Then ask them to come up." Lu Chiye nodded, touched Qiu Yan's cheek, and looked at her encouragingly.
"It's okay, we still have time. Anyway, first receive the guests who took the initiative to come to the door, and then talk about it, and see what they want to do. ”
Qiu Yan took a deep breath, quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and nodded calmly.
Soon, the people who came to them on their own initiative this time went upstairs.
There are several, and you can see by looking at the dress that they are not ordinary people, they must all have some family background.
As soon as these people came up, they began to report to their homes.
Indeed, they are all ordinary local merchants, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they have been operating in Qiguang Mansion for many years, and their local connections are relatively wide.
After Qiu Yan heard their identities, she felt quite normal.
After all, people like them who suddenly came from other places to open a shop here to do business will inevitably attract everyone's attention, and it is inevitable that someone will come to the door, so they can only beckon them to sit down next to them.
He politely asked, "A few of you came here today, I don't know what you want us to do?" Let's have some snacks first, you're welcome. ”
"Then let's just say it, I came to find the shopkeeper and Mrs. Lu today, and I really have something important to discuss with you."
The big brother Liu who took the lead had already thought about the rhetoric, and after complimenting Qiu Yan and them first, he changed his voice and mentioned that he wanted to cooperate with them.
boasted about their courier business in the sky and on the earth, and the corners of the smiling eyes were full of folds.
"The reason why I came to find you is because I heard that your purchase method is quite convenient, and I am very excited."
"To tell you the truth, I and several shopkeepers have different types of business in our hands, if we can greatly shorten the purchase time, and save the cost of purchase, it will also be beneficial to our business development."
"Presumably, you won't refuse the shopkeeper, right?"
Qiu Yan listened to his words, but her brows furrowed slightly, how could she feel that there was a little compulsion?
When you come to talk about business, shouldn't you bring people from the government with you? When the time comes, the contract or something like that can be witnessed can also be witnessed.
Why didn't you discuss it with them in advance, and just said that you wanted them to help buy goods in other places and ship them over?
