Chapter 562: Progress
Xiao Lingyu looked at the sales report for the day and made a calculation. Then, she nodded and said, “Except for so dry goods, everything else is sold out. The first day’s opening performance is not bad!”
The corner of Zeng Yaozu’s mouth twitched, and then he nodded seriously and said, “It is not bad. However, we have promotions for the first three days. I wonder if the business will be the sa after these three days.”
Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “You are the general manager of this supermarket. Do you have no confidence?”
Zeng Yaozu shook his head and said with a smile, “Sister, I want to have confidence too. However, we’re going the high-end route, and our main market is the rich people. However, our supermarket is located in an ordinary residential area.”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Alright, stop pretending. I know you very well by now. I can see your confidence.”
Zeng Yaozu shrugged his shoulders.
Xiao Lingyu closed the report and stood up. “I’ll have to go back now. I’ll leave the supermarket in your hands. Try to train as many talents as you can. By the way, did Xinxin say when she will co to work?”
Zeng Yaozu said with a smile, “She said that she would co to work in a few days after she gets her certificate. You know what Xinxin is like now. If she doesn’t finish what she needs to learn as soon as possible, she will definitely not be able to sleep.”
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said, “I can’t tell what had happened to her. When she was young, she always followed behind and complained about studying. Once class started, she wanted to sleep. She slept so soundly that even teachers couldn’t wake her up.”
Zeng Yaozu smiled and said, “People will grow up. In the past, she didn’t like to study because she didn’t see the point. But now she understands its importance.”
Xiao Lingyu looked at the ti and said, “You’re right. Anyway, I have to go now.”
Zeng Yaozu looked at the ti and said, “Lingyu, it’s already so late. Why don’t we stay in a hotel for a night and go back tomorrow? It’s very dangerous to go back so late.” Zeng Yaozu paused and asked, “Lingyu, why don’t you buy a house in City Z? It’ll be more convenient.”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “I’m actually thinking about that.”
Zeng Yaozu advised, “You should stay for the night. It’s too late. The child can drink formula. You don’t need to worry about him.”
Xiao Lingyu thought for a mont and said, “Okay!”
In fact, four-month-old Xiao Tong basically didn’t drink breast milk anymore. However, Mother Xiao was worried that Xiao Tong would be malnourished. She insisted that Xiao Lingyu breastfeeds him at least twice a day.
After that, Xiao Lingyu took out a folder from the drawer and gave it to Zeng Yaozu, “This information is about the food businesses in City Z. I’ve filtered most of it, and there’s still so left. If anyone cos to look for you, you refer to this.”
Zeng Yaozu took it and flipped through it. He nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll take note.”
Xiao Lingyu said again, “In the future, these businesses to have to book the vegetables one day in advance. And we will demand half of the deposit first. They choose to pay every day, every three days, or every week. You can discuss with them the details, but the most important thing is that we do not accept any debt.”
Zeng Yaozu nodded. “Okay, I will explain it to them clearly!”
He suddenly felt that Xiao Lingyu had changed. She had beco a lot more money-minded.
Zeng Yaozu accompanied Xiao Lingyu to find a hotel before he returned to his bachelor pad. The apartnt was rented.
As for the other employees, Xiao Lingyu had Zeng Yaozu find a high-quality apartnt to use as a dorm.
Xiao Lingyu’s welfare for the employees was quite good.
The employees were paid over 2,200 RMB a month for food and accommodation. Even the cleaning lady was paid 2,000 RMB a month. One had to know that the treatnt for cleaning ladies in other places was only 1,340 RMB.
Therefore, at that ti, apart from so aunties and grandpas, there were also so young people who applied for the job of cleaning lady.
Zeng Yaozu, the head of Human Resources, chose four honest aunties for the job.
If the employees didn’t require food and accommodation, they would receive an additional monthly allowance of 200 RMB. After all, many of the employees lived nearby. When the applicants noted that the job was at a vegetable supermarket, they beca suspicious. They didn’t think the business would be good. What if the company went bankrupt? Would they still be paid then? Plus, the employee welfare was too good to be true! It was a trap!
Of course, there were only so who stayed. Now, they were thankful that they had stayed.
For example, these employees who returned to the dorm started to gossip among themselves...
“Damn! I have no idea business at a vegetable supermarket can be so good!” A male employee said in disbelief, “Before this, I was worried that the vegetables wouldn’t sell because of their high prices. I didn’t expect the expensive stock on the second floor would be sold out in just one morning!”
“I also found it hard to believe,” another female employee said. “I was wondering if the boss had a problem building such a big supermarket to sell vegetables.
“There is a large vegetable market less than 200 ters away from the supermarket. Why wouldn’t people go to the market to buy cheap vegetables and co to this expensive supermarket instead?
“People are not fools. But we’re proven wrong. No wonder we’re employees, and the boss is the boss.”
“Many things are sold out. Even though there’s a promotion, they are still quite expensive. The boss must have made a lot of money!”
“That is a definite. Even the cheapest vegetables on the first floor, like the cabbage, still costs one RMB per catty. How many vegetables were there on the first floor? I estimate there were at least 10,000 catties, so the inco would be 10,000 RMB or more. Now there are also the vegetables on the second floor. They are so expensive, but they sell so fast.”
“My God, if this is correct. Then, the boss will earn 20,000 to 30,000 per day. That is higher than our yearly inco.”
“And that is during promotions. The inco will double when the prices return to normal.”
“If the boss earns more than 30,000 a day, it’ll be more than a million a month! In a year, it’ll be more than 10 million!” The people were excited.
“Stop dreaming. The vegetables are all sold because of the discount. Three days later, the business will die off.”
“Tsk, you sure a downer!” Soone imdiately retorted with dissatisfaction, “Don’t you see how the expensive vegetables on the second floor have been sold out? In fact, they were the first to go!”
The person responded, “But they were rely bought by owners of hotels and restaurants.”
“Yes, but they were still sold out, right?”
...
Zhang Li and Zhou Xiaolu were washing up in the room. When they heard the quarrel outside, they were a little confused.
“Why is it so noisy outside? Aren’t they tired?” Zhang Li said with confusion, “I’m dead tired after working all day today.”
Zhou Xiaolu thought for a mont and said, “I’ll go out and take a look!”
“I’ll go too!”
When Zhou Xiaolu walked outside and heard them arguing, she was a little speechless. They were arguing about the supermarket’s business. Basically, one party had confidence in the supermarket’s future, and the other party didn’t.
Zhou Xiaolu said, “Xiaolan, Xiaoming, aren’t you guys tired? Is there a need to quarrel over this? Whether business is good or not, we’ll know in a few days.”
Zhang Li chid in beside Zhou Xiaolu, “That’s right. The whole apartnt can hear your argunts. It’s getting late. Others need to rest.”
Xiaolan and Xiaoming blushed.
Li Xiaoi washed her hair and ca out. When she saw the two blushing employees and Zhou Xiaolu standing there, she rolled her eyes and smiled. “Xiaolu, we’re not at work now, but you are still going around lecturing people as the team leader. Look at Xiaolan and Xiaoming. They are embarrassed.”
Her words sounded like a joke, but she ant to sow discord.
But...
When she turned around, Li Xiaoi realized everyone was looking at her strangely.
Li Xiaoi, “...” what is going on?
