Chapter 132 Surprise
"Brother Yang, Brother Song, the door panels are ready." As they were talking, Dabing and Junzi came over. The door panels of the store had basically been put up, with only the last one left to be closed when they left.
At this moment, both the soldiers and the army looked at Song Yuanchao with admiration. They never thought that today's business would be so booming.
At first, they were polite to Song Yuanchao only because of Luo Yang, but now they admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Junzi, it's getting late, hurry up and get some food, we'll eat in the store later."
"Okay!" Junzi agreed quickly. When he was about to leave, Song Yuanchao stopped him and told him to just make a few bowls of noodles with soybean sauce or something, and there was no need to make it so complicated.
"Yuan Chao..." Luo Yang said quickly. When can't we eat noodles with soybean paste? Business is booming today, thanks to Song Yuan Chao's help. Although we don't know how much we sold, it can't be bad.
Luo Yang thought that they had to have a good meal today. If conditions were not limiting, they would have to drink some wine. How could they let Song Yuanchao and the others just eat noodles with soybean paste? Luo Yang was a particular person and could not afford to lose face.
"Luo Yang, there is a long way to go. It's getting late today and we have to go back to school soon. It will be inconvenient for Xiaoyun if we go back late. Let's talk about it next time."
Since Song Yuanchao said so, Luo Yang thought about it and could only nod and agree, but he still told Junzi to prepare two stir-fried dishes and hurry up so as not to delay Song Yuanchao and the others from returning to school.
There was a state-owned restaurant not far away. Junzi and his soldiers rushed over and came back with plates in a few minutes. On them were several bowls of noodles with soybean sauce and two stir-fried dishes. Seeing the meal coming, Song Yuanchao's stomach started to growl again.
After saying hello, they went back to the store. When they entered, they saw Sun Yaoliang skillfully using an abacus in front of the counter. Xiao Qiao and Li Xiaoyun were staring at him intently. The three of them had excitement on their faces.
"Is it over?"
"Wait a moment, I'm reviewing it, it will be ready soon!" Sun Yaoliang was working on the abacus quickly without raising his head. The crackling sound of the abacus beads hitting each other echoed in the store. No one spoke for fear of affecting Sun Yaoliang's calculations. After a moment, Sun Yaoliang moved his middle finger downward neatly, and a bead in the upper row fell down, while the beads that had moved forward returned to their original positions. Sun Yaoliang's movements finally stopped.
"That's enough!" Sun Yaoliang smiled and looked up, saying to Song Yuanchao and the others, "Guess how many we sold today?"
"Do you have 300?"
“Have you reached 350?”
"I think it's at least over 400?"
The soldier, Junzi, and Luo Yang couldn't help but ask, but Sun Yaoliang kept shaking his head, and then he gave the answer with a smile.
"A total of 281 men's items and 373 women's items were sold, for a total of 654 items. In addition, 2 ordinary coats, 1 pair of trousers and 5 pairs of cloth shoes were sold. The total turnover today is 2,213.90 yuan. "
"How much? How much did you say?"
Luo Yang couldn't believe his ears. Even Dabing and Junzi were stunned. The three of them looked at each other and for a moment they thought they had heard it wrong.
"Luo Yang, your nose is not good, and now your ears are not working well either? Sun Yaoliang said it so clearly, 654 fake collars were sold, plus the jackets, pants and shoes sold, the total sales were 2,213.90 yuan, do you understand?" Li Xiaoyun repeated it on the side, and despised Luo Yang by the way. In her opinion, Luo Yang was really a weak guy. What was this? He was so shocked by such a small sales volume?
His face turned red, and he didn't bother to continue bickering with Li Xiaoyun. Luo Yang couldn't wait to look at Xiao Qiao beside him. When Xiao Qiao nodded to him seriously and without hesitation, Luo Yang was sure that he really hadn't heard it.
So much was sold in one day. Luo Yang couldn't have imagined it a few hours ago. He originally thought that no matter how capable Song Yuanchao was, his ability was limited. After all, they were not newbies in the trading business. Didn't they do well when they were working in the black market together?
But Luo Yang never expected that Song Yuanchao would give him such a big surprise at his first move, which simply made him overjoyed. In just one day... no, to be precise, in just four and a half hours from four in the afternoon to eight in the evening, 645 fake collars were sold (excluding the previous nine pieces). This was incredible.
While Luo Yang, Da Bing, Jun Zi and others were immersed in great happiness, Song Yuanchao had already gone over to take the record book from Sun Yaoliang and flipped through it. After looking at it for a while, he checked the inventory and turned to Luo Yang and said, "The sales situation seems to be good. The five best-selling items are the best-selling ones. The inventory of three of the women's items is running low. If we don't restock them in time, I'm afraid they will be out of stock in the next few days."
"Yes, yes, yes, restock! Restock immediately. Aid Korea. Thank you for your help."
Song Yuanchao nodded and threw the booklet to Sun Yaoliang: "Okay, everyone has worked hard today, eat something first, then go back and rest early, we will continue tomorrow."
After saying that, Song Yuanchao didn't hesitate to pick up a bowl of noodles with soybean sauce and stuffed it into his mouth. He was really hungry. After a few bites, half of the bowl was gone. He felt much better after having something in his stomach.
"Yuanchao, if we sell this quantity every day, I'm afraid we won't be able to sell it all. Can we ask Shanghai to send more at one time?" Luo Yang squatted beside Song Yuanchao, holding the noodles and asked softly.
"I'll try to ask. You know it takes at least two days to ship to Yanjing, so there's no need to rush. Besides, sales are good today, the first day, so we'll have to see the actual situation in the next few days. By the way, if it's convenient for you, please remit the first batch of payment to Shanghai as soon as possible. Once I see the money, it will be easier for me to talk to them." Song Yuanchao said calmly while eating noodles.
Luo Yang nodded after hearing this and made up his mind: "Okay, I'll take care of this. I'll ask Xiao Qiao to go to the post office to remit the money early tomorrow morning."
Song Yuanchao hummed and said nothing more. He just kept eating his noodles. He soon finished the noodles. Seeing that Li Xiaoyun was still eating with relish, Song Yuanchao didn't want to leave first and could only continue waiting for her.
After Li Xiaoyun finished eating, Song Yuanchao couldn't wait to call her and Sun Yaoliang to go together. The three of them had to hurry back to the dormitory, otherwise they might not be able to enter the school gate if they went back any later.
As for Luo Yang, it was a no-brainer. He was from Yanjing anyway. Although there were beds in the dormitory, as a local, it was okay for him to go back to his home on weekdays. However, Luo Yang did not plan to go home today and was going to stay in the hotel for one night.
After seeing Song Yuanchao and the others off, Luo Yang went back to the store. When he arrived at the door, he saw Dabing, Junzi and Xiaoqiao squatting at the door smoking.
"Brother Yang, here!" Seeing Luo Yang coming back, the soldier quickly stood up and handed him a cigarette, then struck a match to help Luo Yang light it.
After taking a puff of cigarette, Luo Yang, who was in a good mood, looked at his three brothers and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. We will continue tomorrow. I can't come over during the day tomorrow, so the store can only trouble you three."
"Brother Yang, what are you talking about? It's our own business, so who's bothering whom? Don't you agree?" Junzi said with a smile.
Dabing and Xiao Qiao also smiled and nodded. Seeing their excited and high-spirited faces, Luo Yang was also very happy.
The most difficult days have finally passed. Since taking over this store, Luo Yang has been having a very hard time. Although Luo Yang appears to be calm on the surface, the business in the store has been bad, which makes Luo Yang so worried that he can't even sleep at night.
Since he made up his mind to have dinner with Song Yuanchao and accepted Song Yuanchao's reminder, Luo Yang decided to take a gamble and put all his hopes on the fake collar Song Yuanchao proposed. Because at this time, Luo Yang had few options left. If the store failed, all of Luo Yang's original ideas would go down the drain, which was a result he absolutely did not want to accept.
After deciding to cooperate with Song Yuanchao, Luo Yang felt a little relieved, but he was still a little worried. He was worried that this move was a bit rash, and he was also worried that he might make the wrong choice, or that Song Yuanchao was unreliable.
These thoughts kept going back and forth in Luo Yang's mind, making him very conflicted. In fact, this is human nature, even for someone like Luo Yang.
And today, Luo Yang was very glad that he suddenly decided to ask Song Yuanchao for help. If not, although the sale of fake collars would slightly improve Luo Yang's business status, it would definitely not become as popular as it is today.
What happened today made Luo Yang feel extremely emotional. Compared with Song Yuanchao, he who thought he was good was actually a newbie who had just entered the industry. Song Yuanchao took action and completely reversed the situation in the store with just very simple means, making a half-dead store so prosperous all of a sudden.
Not to mention Song Yuanchao, even Li Xiaoyun's performance made Luo Yang very emotional. Everything Li Xiaoyun did today made Luo Yang look at her with new eyes. Thanks to Li Xiaoyun's help, today's sales results were so good. Moreover, Sun Yaoliang's previous suggestion was not wrong at all. This store really lacks a female comrade.
Having a female comrade can indeed help a lot. It would be great if Li Xiaoyun could stay with them in the store for a long time!
Thinking of this, Luo Yang couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. He really thought too much. It was lucky that Li Xiaoyun came to help him rarely. How could he let her come here every day? Not to mention that Li Xiaoyun was a college student and had to go to school. Besides, this female ancestor was not easy to mess with. If she really came here for a long time, Luo Yang really didn't know how to get along with her. If things went wrong, it was very likely that she would take over the show after a few days.
"It would be great if this girl didn't have such a bad temper." Luo Yang suddenly remembered the way Li Xiaoyun had been talking to him just now. He also remembered how she was busy in the store in the afternoon, arranging everyone's work with ease. An inadvertent smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.
