72 Attack from Both Sides (Part 2)
At the bookstore, two newly hired salesmen have already come to work. One is Xiang Xuehua, the oldest of all salesmen, and some are almost thirty years old. The other is Zheng Qiaoqiao, who has just graduated from high school and is only a little older than Chen Pengfei. Li Rongrong handed over the purchase of goods to Chen Pengfei, and the store affairs were left to four salesmen. When she was not around, Xiao Hong was responsible.
Li Rongrong's work focus is on the expansion plan formulated by Jiang Zhihan, and Xiaoqian is her assistant. Li Rongrong is indeed a decisive and activist. After a few days of closing the store during the Spring Festival, she made dozens of phone calls and contacted about fifteen to twenty units, all of which were related. Of course, most of the people who know are not responsible for purchasing books and magazines, but are introduced through their relationship. Jiang Zhihan specifically told her mother that the first key is to find the right person and find someone who can really make a decision. In different factories and mining institutions, it may be different. In some places, librarians are responsible for purchasing goods, and they have the right to decide. In some places, this power is not in the hands of librarians, but may be managed by the union chairman or a section chief.
After evening self-study this day, Jiang Zhihan sent Ni Shang home as usual, and let me leave it aside. It was already very late when I came home. Seeing her mother sitting on the sand in the living room with a tired look on her face. Jiang Zhihan washed her hands, sat next to her and massaged her shoulders and pleased her.
Regarding the situation these days, Li Rongrong sighed and said, "It's not satisfactory if you agree, and it's still a reward for you if you don't agree. You've probably talked about twelve or three companies. One has decided to buy books, but although the amount is not large, it's finally opened. Two other companies have agreed that after this year's funding comes, we will come to purchase goods. Of course, there are some annoying things. There are factories and very small libraries. The leaders in charge ask for money as soon as they open their mouths, and the quantity is not small. I doubt whether they can buy so much money for books."
Jiang Zhihan said: "This is a very good result."
Li Rongrong said: "Talking with some people is much more tired than buying goods and receiving customers in bookstores. The main thing is that they are either physically tired or mentally tired. Some people have a disgusting face, which is really unbearable."
Jiang Zhihan pondered and said, "That's right? Then you should go less in the future. How many companies can we build? Anyway, the current operating income is more than enough."
Li Rongrong smiled and said, "I am just complaining with you casually. If you don't complain in front of you, who else can you be in front of you? Since you have decided to do what you want, you must do it as best as you can. It is inevitable to encounter difficulties and people who hate them. I remember what I said to you when Director Zhu's subordinates came to make trouble last time. I have suffered more grievances than these in the past few decades. No matter what, this is to make money for my family, what can I be so unhappy?" Speaking of this, Li Rongrong asked, "By the way, I heard you say that Director Zhu was arrested last time? He won't come to trouble us again after he let it go, right?"
Jiang Zhihan sneered: "He has been removed from his post. Now I pray that he will be sentenced to a few years less. Revenge? Go dreaming!"
Jiang Zhihan asked his mother: "Xiaoqian follows you, how do you think of her? Is it possible for her to be alone in the future and go out to run away by herself?"
Li Rongrong said: "She is very good, she treats people very well and is also liked. Don't say that, she dresses up and looks like a child who grows up from a wealthy family in the city. Her experience is still a bit short of her time, but she is already very good. After exercising for a while, she should be able to go out to visit customers by herself."
Li Rongrong also said: "This society is about relationships. Take the factory where we order right now. Most of the reason is that the person we are looking for is very close to the responsible person. In other places, although they are extremely concerned about the conditions we have put forward, they are still hesitant. Many people have outdated views and think that a private bookstore is always unreliable. So I am worried that when these units are finished on the order, if they go to some units that have no relationship next, the task will be much more difficult."
Jiang Zhihan said: "Take it slow. People's concepts will always change. This era is a time of rapid changes and rapid development. A year later, or even a month later, many things will be different."
Wen Ningcui went home after going to study late. As soon as he pushed the door, he saw Jiang Zhihan sitting on the sand facing the door, and his parents were sitting on the sand next to him, chatting happily.
Wen Ningcui wrinkled his nose and said, "Why are you here again?"
Aunt Huang frowned and said, "Why is this child rude?"
Wen Ningcui put down his schoolbag, squeezed into the middle of his parents, and said coquettishly: "My mom and dad, are you all okay? I think it's unfair. I go to study at night every day, and I'm in a daze. This person is one grade higher than me, and he doesn't do his job well all day, and no one cares about it."
Aunt Huang said: "Xiaojiang also has the top ten in the class in the exam. How many of the last time did you take the exam? Tell me it out."
Wen Ningcui said coquettishly: "Mom, why are you turning your elbow outward?" He then provoked to Jiang Zhihan: "I have finished tenth in the class, so I have the nerve to show off?"
Jiang Zhihan smiled and ignored Wen Ningcui's provocation. He was a little surprised that Aunt Huang knew clearly what he had finished in the exam. It must have been Vice Principal Wen who asked.
These days, Jiang Zhihan has been running to Vice Principal Wen’s home very frequently. First, we have to report on some of the canteen management, and second, many things, from funding to decoration, require the full support of Vice Principal Wen. In the school management, Jiang Zhihan and others only have such an aid support.
Vice Principal Wen is not only concerned with the issue of profit, but only when he makes a profit can he have money to hand over to the school and fulfill the contract. He also cares about the feedback from teachers and students. Eating is the top priority and is also the most direct feedback within his work jurisdiction. Therefore, whether teachers and students can be satisfied is an important evaluation of his work.
In general, although the canteen operation has just started and many planned reforms are still in the process of nurturing, it is undoubtedly a positive response at the beginning. The teachers have reported a few best things, the first is to add a special teacher window, and the second is the special recommended dishes for each meal. Of course, the increase in the total variety of patterns and colors has also received a lot of praise.
Vice Principal Wen’s family is Aunt Huang’s cooking skills. Her cooking skills are OK, but she is far from being talented in this area. One day, Vice Principal Wen went to the cafeteria to order a special dish of the day, which was also considered an inspection work. The special dish that day was beef with potatoes. The beef was very soft, the potatoes were delicious, and the whole dish was fresh and spicy. She took it home for dinner. Aunt Huang said that this level was better than mine. From now on, I just made one serving every day and I would make one or two side dishes. From then on, the cafeteria would leave two dishes for Vice Principal Wen every day, and Aunt Huang’s burden of cooking was greatly reduced, and she was very happy about this.
Usually, unmarried teachers go to the cafeteria, but since the start of this semester, as their reputation spreads, many married teachers from families have also begun to go to the cafeteria to eat or bring a dish home. For a moment, even if there is a special teacher window, it is not easy to grab the special dishes that are limited to the daily supply. Master Wu has selected two honest and willing to learn as his apprentices, hoping that they can start their education as soon as possible to alleviate the current supply tightness.
These days, Jiang Zhihan thought about this issue repeatedly, and discussed it carefully with Xiao Hanjun and his mother for a long time, and finally decided to propose his own idea directly to Vice Principal Wen. Tonight, Jiang Zhihan directly proposed that the talent in canteen management is very scarce. Although Xiao Hanjun is a talent, he has too many things to manage and cannot be divided into his background. Therefore, Jiang Zhihan proposed that he hoped that Vice Principal Wen would recommend a cooperative manager, and Jiang Zhihan was willing to give 10% of the shares as the salary for the hire. This was actually a disguised proposal, hoping that Vice Principal Wen would give 10% of the shares as a condition for his long-term support. In Jiang Zhihan's view, after all, it is the most reliable alliance to tie together with economic interests.
After hearing this, Vice Principal Wen said to Jiang Zhihan with a slightly calm face: "I understand what you mean, but I hope you will work hard on how to run the canteen and how to serve teachers and students well, and don't put the effort into these places. I will do my best to support you in the school for all legitimate requests."
Jiang Zhihan said: "I don't mean anything else. But I really hope to cooperate with you. The canteen is just the first step. I think we can quickly prove the effect of canteen contracting. There are still many things to do in the future, such as opening some street-facing places to do business, such as renovating a school factory. I think you are very consistent with our business philosophy, so I hope to do some things together, which can benefit the school and obtain economic benefits, which is also a win-win situation."
Vice Principal Wen said: "If you talk about these things later, you should first do the canteen well, which is the top priority." Unexpectedly, his wife interrupted, "If you can prove your talent in business, I will recommend someone to you and do more things together." Vice Principal Wen looked at his wife in surprise, because he knew that his wife was a person who was more indifferent to money and power than himself. She was born in a wealthy family, and after luxury, she was able to live in a relatively ordinary and frugal life now. She was a very amazing woman.
Jiang Zhihan hurriedly smiled and said, "Aunt Huang, give me some time and I will prove it to you."
Wen Ningcui looked cool at school. When she returned home, she was very lively and cute in front of her parents. She put her father's waist and complained: "Dad, you pay for every time you go to eat. Jiang Zhihan always goes through the back door and eats for free. Do you want to take care of it?"
Vice Principal Wen smiled and said, "Now the canteen is run by his family, and he eats free of charge and his own money."
Jiang Zhihan smiled and said, "I work every day to offset the cost of food. Do you want to try it? I'll give you a free week and come to help me with work on Sunday."
Wen Ningcui snorted: "A week is too little, it's almost the same for a month."
Jiang Zhihan smiled and said, "Whoever hires you will definitely go bankrupt. Think about it? The salary a day is only 20 or 30 yuan, or even lower. The price of your 60 meals a month is worth more than 100 yuan. With such a high salary, we will go bankrupt in a while."
Wen Ningcui tsk a few times and sighed, "What a profitable businessman." Everyone laughed.
When Jiang Zhihan said goodbye, Wen Ningcui took a flashlight to take him downstairs as usual. Standing in the open space in front of the building, the moonlight was like washing, wrapping the building with a faint moonlight, with a kind of tranquil beauty.
Wen Ningcui laughed softly and said, "I think you are very popular among middle-aged and elderly women. Gu Wangshan is hard for his mother to get close to, but it seems that he likes you very much. So is my mother."
Jiang Zhihan said with a thick face: "Will young girls like me?"
Wen Ningcui snorted: "That is, Chairman Ni doesn't know which nerve is wrong. I want me to see, wouldn't it be very tiring to like someone who has a common topic with the old man all day long?"
Jiang Zhihan replied, "Then what type do you like?"
Wen Ningcui said: "Why tell you?"
Jiang Zhihan smiled and said, "Let me guess whether he is tall, handsome, more mature, and arrogant on the surface, but he is actually not bad to his friends."
Wen Ningcui looked directly at Jiang Zhihan, "Are you laughing at me?" His voice was a little cold.
Jiang Zhihan did not avoid her eyes. He said sincerely: "We are friends, how could I laugh at you? Is it wrong to like someone? I never feel that way. I just hope that the person you like must know how to cherish."
