NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 157: Lose your pants
Chapter 157 Lose your pants
People in the 1970s did not have mobile phones in their hands, and they did not know what the Internet was, but news spread around them at no slow rate.
People riding their bicycles after get off work carried their newly issued coupons and prepared to go to Zhenghao Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy New Year goods. As soon as they were about to park their bicycles, they were stopped by an acquaintance.
"After get off work? Are you going in to buy something? What do you want to buy? You don't know yet, right? Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative, two streets away, is doing an event. It's very cheap. They give away Spring Festival couplets, window grilles and New Year pictures at a 40% discount. !”
The people nearby also gathered together after hearing this, "What's going on? What's going on? Tell us quickly? Didn't that supply and marketing cooperative close down? Why are you still doing activities?"
"This is a store opened by the state. How can it be closed down just because it's a pen?" The man shared the news with a smile and a little excitement, "Just buy melon seeds and peanut candies here. If there are no girls or boys at home who like to be pretty, go to Dongfeng Buying things from ten miles away is all useful, why should we pay so much attention to it? Besides, it’s wrong to be too particular now..."
Not long after the meeting, people who were about to enter Zhenghao Supply and Marketing Cooperative turned around and scooted into the alley, taking a shortcut to Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
"It's strange," a senior salesperson from Zhenghao Supply and Marketing Cooperative raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "it's time to get off work, why are there not many people there yet? Many units and factories are paying wages today, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. It stands to reason that it should be full right now?”
Others are also confused. They have all received notices to work overtime and were prepared to work overtime before the year, but there are not even as many people as when wages are paid.
At this time, a young salesperson who came back from a walk in the toilet ran over and said breathlessly: "No, no, no, all our customers have been taken away by Dongfeng Shili!"
Everyone was stunned, waving their hands and saying with a smile: "It's impossible, it's impossible. Dongfeng Shili is about to become a wind and blow away and disband. How can it be possible to steal our customers? They also have to have something to sell..."
Speaking of this, one person exclaimed in shock: "When I first started working, Director Huang and two young men asked our director for some warehouse supplies, saying that we would use their quotas in previous years. We are usually very busy, and it seems that we have not had any work for two or three years. The clearance was over, and everything in two and a half rooms had been taken away.
They have something to sell! "
"Are they crazy? Does anyone buy these things? Unless they clear out the stock at a very low price, then they have no profit at all. What are they trying to do?" the big guy said with a sneer.
But they felt unhappy, and soon some people used the excuse of going to the toilet to sneak out to explore the truth first. Good guy, the whole street is bustling with people, as crowded as a weekend market!
After the man squeezed in, he saw the discounts and the things on the counter, and couldn't help but pay and buy some tickets. When she returned to Zhenghao Supply and Marketing Cooperative, she saw that there were two colleagues who were just like her, so she became happy and whispered to her colleagues: "Hey, I'll watch the counter for you. You should hurry up and buy some. I asked us Director, the lowest price offered by the headquarters to Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative is 40% off. If they sell too much, their profit will be counted. If they sell less, they will wait to close down!
I just squeezed in and took a look. They had a free gift event. Buy 50 cents and get 20 cents free, which is a 40% discount. Moreover, they also gave away gold-sprinkled Spring Festival couplets, window grilles and New Year pictures worth a few cents. Doesn’t this cost the cost?
Alas, they are probably idle, thinking that they can make money when they are busy, and grab business with us. Wait, when settlement, they can spit out their salary in previous years and lose their pants! "
Everyone laughed happily and took turns to buy.
In less than two hours, the news of Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative has been known to the people in Dongcheng District, and they are all gearing up and rushing here. Business was so booming that Director Huang directly asked Zhenghao Supply and Marketing Cooperative to second people.
At first they were not willing to help, but when they heard that they would get extra sales shares as bonuses after the work was done, they smiled weirdly and shook their heads, refusing because they couldn't leave.
Fortunately, the state-owned restaurant was also very popular, and the ingredients were all gone in just three hours. Restaurants are different from supply and marketing cooperatives. Food ingredients are in limited supply. Wherever there is a sale, it will be sold out. After packing up the shop, everyone was not in a hurry to leave, but took the initiative to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to help. The joining of six people made the staff of Dongfeng Shili breathe a sigh of relief.
Director Huang not only brought the inventory from Zhenghao Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but also went to three other nearby large and good supply and marketing cooperatives to borrow inventory, and purchased red paper, dyes and inks on a carpet basis for the activities. need.
However, the borrowed inventory, which filled the seven warehouses, was decreasing at an eye-catching speed.
This free gift activity that shocked ordinary people in Dongcheng District lasted until four o'clock in the morning!
All the goods were sold out, not even a needle or thread was left. After sending away the last customer, the big guy collapsed directly on the ground, his voice was too hoarse to speak, and he couldn't lift his arms, but he was too excited.
An Zhiqiu dragged her tired body and applied cold water to An Zhixia's swollen wrists distressedly. He wanted to blame her but couldn't bear to do so. He could only frown and say, "Next time, don't mess with your body anymore!"
An Zhixia nodded repeatedly, "One time is enough to make a deep memory. I'm afraid I don't want to touch the brush in the past six months, and I don't want to take a look at pens, pencils, or pieces of paper."
Director Huang clapped his hands to focus everyone's attention, and said in a hoarse voice: "Comrades, you performed very well! Our event was extremely successful. Now you go home to rest and come back at two o'clock in the afternoon. Let’s sort through the accounts together. It just so happens that I can also ask for a charter from the headquarters.”
The big guy nodded, stood up, and left holding the benefits distributed today.
"Xiao An, thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a good rest. When the accounts are sorted out in the afternoon, I will have to ask you for advice." Director Huang personally sent the An brothers and sisters out.
He and the old gatekeeper did not go home. Instead, they stayed in the room where there were more than a dozen sacks of money notes. They did not dare to sleep deeply, so they sat on the chairs and watched the chickens peck at the rice.
An Zhixia was too lazy to ride a bike, so she sat in the back seat and leaned against her brother, hoping to benefit the two of them tomorrow.
After returning home, An Zhiqiu filled two thermoses with hot water and gave her hot and cold compresses alternately to reduce the edema on her wrists. An Zhixia was so sleepy that she fell asleep without knowing how long her brother had been tossing her. When she woke up, there was warm water on the bedside.
Although the swelling in her right hand has subsided a little, it will be basically useless and unable to lift it in the short term. She can only pick up the teapot with her left hand and take a sip.
"Don't drink too much. I made red bean and coix seed soup for you. The book says it is effective in removing edema," An Zhiqiu heard the sound and shouted through the window.
An Zhixia responded dully. When changing clothes, she couldn't lift her right arm. Her muscles were so sore, just like the miserable pain she felt the first time she lifted a wire.
