Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

Chapter 258 Discussing the Supermarket Plan

He An: "It has had some impact. The things they sell there are cheaper, so many people go there."

He An looked at Su Yan and said, "If it weren't for the opening of Yan Yan's clothing store, which brought in a lot of people and boosted the supermarket's business, the supermarket might be even quieter."

Su Yan smiled at him reassuringly.

Grandmother He was a little anxious. "What will you do with your supermarket in the future? You can't always rely on the flow of people from the clothing store, right?"

He An Su Yan really hadn't figured out what to do.

Of course, there were too many things going on in the clothing store these past two days, and Su Yan had no time to think about it.

"How about... you also lower the price?" Seeing that He An Su Yan didn't say anything, Grandma He suggested hesitantly, "Isn't it because of the low price that customers go there?"

"If you lower the price, the customers will come back."

He An smiled bitterly: "Grandma, how can it be so simple? I am in charge of everything in our supermarket. All the things I buy are of good quality, so the prices are naturally high."

"If the price is lowered, it won't cover the cost, so there's no point in selling it."

Su Yan also said, "We can't lower prices. If we do, they will do the same. Such a price war will benefit no one."

"Well." Su Yan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "We can't lower the price, but we can add something."

He An: "Hmm? How do you say that?"

Su Yan: "For example, if you spend enough money, you can give me some gifts, such as vegetables, fruits, or daily necessities."

"Give them away according to how much money people spend."

After listening to this, He An and Grandmother He lowered their heads and thought for a while.

After a while, both of them felt good.

Su Yan clapped her hands and came up with a better idea, "Oh, right, we can't just give it to them! We have to let them get it based on their own abilities!"

He An and Grandmother He were full of questions.

Su Yan roughly explained the modern routines of the spin wheel lottery, long jump free meal, etc.

The two understood it immediately.

Clapping and praising, “This is good!”

He An: "It's fun and there are prizes, everyone will definitely be happy."

Grandmother He was still worried, "What if those people also learn this? This method sounds good, but it is also easy to copy."

This is true.

Su Yan then proposed a points policy, "Just like on the second floor, let's set up a membership card in the supermarket."

He An: "But the profit of supermarkets is not as high as that of clothing stores. If you spend 100 yuan or more, you can get 10 yuan..."

Su Yan slammed the table, "That's different from the second floor! Let them buy first, and the money spent on each purchase can be accumulated into points. When a certain amount is reached, they can exchange for things in the store."

"We can define the scope of these things and find some that are low-cost but practical for everyone."

"This way we won't have to invest too much, and customers will be happier because they get a bargain."

He An's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea. It doesn't cost too much money, and the things are ready-made."

The most interesting thing is that the method of members playing cards was thought up by Su Yan.

Their Jixiang Clothing is the first to do this.

In other words, no matter how thick-skinned others are, they cannot completely move these things and use them directly in a short period of time.

This buys the supermarket time to turn things around.

When Grandmother He met the two of them, they talked and decided on a plan.

Although she didn't understand some parts, she was still cheerful and didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, as long as you have a way to deal with it."

"It's getting late, I'm going back to bed."

Su Yan and He An stood up, sent the person to the door, and then came back to continue the discussion.

They discussed some more details, and after Dudu fell asleep, they decided on a preliminary plan.

After handing Dudu over to the maid, Su Yan pulled He An aside and talked about another matter.

"It's time to give bonuses to those people we hired!"

He An: "It's not even the end of the month yet..."

"The end of the month is the end of the month, and this is the present. Everyone can see that clothing stores are selling well these days."

"We've made money, and it would be wrong if we didn't express our gratitude."

That’s right. For example, when Grandmother He was in charge of the old house, if there was a big happy event in the family, she would reward people on the spot.

Although their supermarket is different from the inner house, the people’s hearts are the same.

It would definitely make you feel uncomfortable if you watch others make money but you don't get any money at all.

What if I don’t work properly because I’m not feeling well, and that affects my business?

That means the gain outweighs the loss.

He An: "Okay, let's send it!"

As for how much to give out, the two of them discussed it again.

Finally, we divided everyone into several levels according to their workload in the past few days.

Among them, Scar and others and the two old women, those who are responsible for security work are at the third level.

The four girls on the second floor who directly face the customers are the second level.

Cuilan and Hongxiu, who have made great contributions in making clothes and selling goods, are ranked first.

Su Yan: "The monthly salary for supermarket staff is now 800 wen, so let's give one or two taels of silver as a reward this time!"

"The four girls will get two taels each, and Cuilan and Hongxiu have contributed the most, so they will get three taels each."

"What do you think, is this number a lot or a little?"

He An: "It's good, but I saw Zhao Wan and Madam Zhao also helped these two days, why don't we give it to them?"

Su Yan laughed, "These two are our partners, we can't just give them money, what will happen then?"

She lowered her head and thought for a moment. "Zhao Wan really helped a lot this time. She was the one who contacted the cloth and the workers who made the clothes."

"If it weren't for her, the clothing store wouldn't be able to open in another three months, and the supermarket's business would probably be in jeopardy too."

"I have to give you a big gift."

After listening to this, He An also felt that what Su Yan said made sense and that he wanted to give a big gift.

They both thought in silence for a while.

The Zhao family is a well-known wealthy family in the county, even richer than the He family.

What would be a suitable gift?

The Zhao family is not interested in anything valuable that they can afford.

But it’s not expensive, and it’s hard to justify such a great favor.

In the end, it was Su Yan who made the final decision, "Expensive ones won't work, so let's just give something thoughtful! Both Mr. Zhao and Madam Zhao are not in good health."

"I asked my uncle to look for wild ginseng, wild ganoderma or other medicinal herbs in the mountains. Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao should be able to use them."

He An frowned: "...Can this thing be found just by looking for it?"

Su Yan smiled: "You don't understand this, those with a long history are naturally hard to find, but those with a younger age can still be found."

"If that doesn't work, ask your uncle to go to their village and ask if anyone has any left at home."

"They are all mountain dwellers who have been wandering in the mountains all their lives. They should have these things."

He An was relieved now, "Okay, then I'll trouble my uncle to look for it."
