Chapter 707 Unannounced visits to the commercial street
Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Wangqin had not returned yet. Although Gu Chunzhu was full of misses, she still remembered her promise to him. She did not slack off for a moment, but took good care of this huge family.
"Butler Wang, how's the business of the newly opened commercial street recently?" She sat in the flower hall and looked at the house's account book. This Wang Kun's affairs are getting better and better. The accounts are arranged carefully. own benefit.
"Ma'am, a few shops over there delivered account books a few days ago." Wang Kun rummaged through the account books for Gu Chunzhu, then took time to look up and replied, "Although the income is okay, it's a bit lower than expected."
When Gu Chunzhu said this, he also happened to look through the book records of her open shop for the last month.
"It is indeed a little lower than I thought." Gu Chunzhu frowned slightly, trying to understand the reason.
Wang Kun was even more anxious than her when he saw her frowning. After all, Madam trusted him, so she handed over all these stores to him, giving him a lot of autonomy. However, he made the store's profit meet expectations. There will be some self-blame.
Gu Chunzhu had been waiting for Wang Kun's reply, but she didn't hear it. When she looked up, she saw that Wang Kun was also frowning, as if competing with herself.
She immediately understood what Wang Kun was thinking, she closed the ledger, got up and said, "It's alright, you don't need to think about it, it's common for a newly opened store to get cold, and now the most important thing is to think about it with me. The only way is to find out why.”
Facing Gu Chunzhu's encouragement, Wang Kun warmed his heart and nodded heavily, "Madam is right, I'll go prepare the car right away."
The two masters and servants soon came to the commercial street. Gu Chunzhu got out of the car and was about to start from the open store above. They made unannounced visits one by one to see what went wrong.
It was almost noon when she came, which should be the most crowded time of the day.
However, Gu Chunzhu looked around and found that the flow of people was indeed a little less than she had imagined. The customers who came in and out of the store when it was not closed could even be described as rare.
Even when there were a lot of people, she casually went up to chat for a few words, and found that most of these people came here specially after hearing about the new store opening from Dasu Daya.
In the face of such scattered guests, I can't help but feel a little lost.
Although by the light of the restaurant, the passenger flow here is still sloppy, but compared with the vulgarity, this commercial street is really too quiet.
While Gu Chunzhu was thinking about doing something to attract more people to this street and drive a little bit of passenger flow and popularity, he had already stepped into the closed shop with one foot.
As soon as she entered, she saw a middle-aged man in coarse clothes coming out empty-handed, and even came out with a look of disappointment, her heart throbbed, and she quickly stopped the other party.
"Brother, wait a moment," Gu Chunzhu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and then asked Wang Kun to move him a chair and pour hot tea, "Are you dissatisfied with the things in the shop, or are you dissatisfied with the shopkeeper. "
"That's not it," the middle-aged man was also kind, and he easily chatted with Gu Chunzhu, "I just wanted to buy a chamber pot for my poor old father, but I took a look and it wasn't for sale here either. I don't know what this store sells with so many shelves?"
Night pot? Gu Chunzhu was stunned for a moment, she clearly remembered that there were some in the store, how could he not see it?
After some chatting again, she realized that he said he looked at it, but in fact he just glanced at the door at random, and didn't go inside at all.
Gu Chunzhu's department store, in order to accommodate more categories and commodities, built the store that was not closed a bit bigger.
People who come in like this, if there is no one to guide, and they do not have the patience to read it, most of them just leave.
Gu Chunzhu finally found the reason for the loss of a customer. Just thinking about it, the shopkeeper who was busy choosing cloth for another customer and didn't have time to greet other people just came out.
When the shopkeeper saw that Gu Chunzhu and Butler Wang were coming, his face suddenly became a little more nervous, and he hurried forward, for fear that he had done something wrong.
"Madam, are you here?" Gu Chunzhu looked at the sincere shopkeeper and touched his face, feeling that he didn't look too fierce, and said, "It's alright, you are busy first."
Although the shopkeeper didn't know what happened, he was really busy right now.
When the shopkeeper accepted the guest's money and sent the guest away with good words, he hurriedly took the guest from Gu Chunzhu's hand and took him to choose a chamber pot.
Gu Chunzhu sat on the chair and looked at the figures selected by the shopkeeper and the guests, and suddenly thought of a truth in his heart.
In her era, this kind of all-day storefront was very common, but for this era, the operation method of department stores was still somewhat unfamiliar.
In addition, although she invited a total of three shopkeepers to come to the store in one day, but in fact, there are still not enough staff. She has to hire more people to take care of the store, help introduce products and guide customers, so that more customers can be retained.
With an idea in his heart, Gu Chunzhu's heart also brightened a lot, and he gestured to the shopkeeper slightly, and then took Wang Kun to the next place.
On the commercial street, the other two food shops she opened were operating normally. Now, after all, it is a dynasty where the people take food as the sky,
As long as the food tastes right, she still doesn't worry about the flow of passengers, so she goes to the next restaurant with a happy mood.
The last place to go for an unannounced visit today is the embroidery workshop.
Embroidery workshop is managed by Wu Fenniang. Although there are no big orders now, there are only scattered small orders from some merchants and officials, but everything is still in order.
As a whole, the embroidery workshop is still in its infancy. In addition to teaching a few embroiderers, Wu Fenniang is also busy putting up notices to recruit more embroiderers.
"Madam, you're here." Wu Fenniang was taking the embroidery test for several new embroiderers. When she saw Gu Chunzhu and Wang Kun coming, she blushed with embarrassment, then greeted them and said hello.
"It's nothing important right now, I'll just walk around." Gu Chunzhu smiled slightly, but was more interested in the embroiderers of the embroiderers Wu Fenniang had just recruited, so he leaned forward and took a closer look.
The few embroidered girls who were tested were the general's wife, and Gu Chunzhu, a business genius known in the market, came, and immediately became a little nervous. One of them accidentally hooked the wrong thread.
Gu Chunzhu smiled helplessly, what happened today, should he look in the mirror, where did he look ugly, why did he always frighten people, or he didn't move much recently, and everyone looked at him with a sullen face.
"How can I be so nervous, in case the order is in a hurry in the future and I can't bear it in my heart, how can I embroider..."
