Chapter 131 Shen Yunyan starts doing business
Su Yue took Shen Yunyan to visit almost all the shops they opened in Yangzhou, and also visited some other shops in Yangzhou that were doing well.
After the journey, both of them felt a little tired, so they came to their own restaurant to eat and rest.
As soon as he sat down in the private room, Shen Yunyan diligently picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Su Yue.
Su Yue took a sip of tea, looked at Shen Yunyan, and asked, "Ayan, after visiting so many shops today, what do you think? If you were asked to start a business right now, what would you start with?"
Shen Yunyan sat up straight and began to talk: "Yuer, I think our shop can be more diverse in the variety of goods.
For example, a cloth shop can introduce some of the fabric styles that are currently popular in Kyoto; and a jewelry store can offer customized services according to customers of different age groups and identities.
For other stores that are doing well, I found that they do an excellent job in promoting their stores and retaining customers.
We might as well learn from this, for example, by holding some promotional activities or offering special discounts to old customers.”
Having said that, Shen Yunyan paused and looked at Su Yue cautiously, as if observing her reaction.
Seeing Su Yue looking at him encouragingly with a smile on her face, motioning him to continue, he continued, "Also, in terms of store management, I think we can formulate a clearer reward and punishment system to motivate the guys to work harder.
In addition, can we consider using currently popular communication methods, such as asking some literati to write some poems to promote our store and increase its visibility? "
Shen Yunyan became more and more excited as he spoke, and his ideas became clearer and clearer: "For the restaurant, we can launch special dishes according to different seasons, and we can also invite some famous chefs to hold cooking demonstrations to attract more diners.
Moreover, in terms of service, we can train our staff to pay more attention to details and provide more considerate service to customers.”
However, when it comes to some uncertain areas, such as cost control and risk estimation, Shen Yunyan becomes cautious again, with a hint of trepidation in his eyes, and asks softly, "Yuer, do you think this idea of mine is feasible?"
Su Yue listened carefully to every word Shen Yunyan said, her eyes full of surprise and admiration. She patiently gave him advice: "Ayan, most of your ideas are very good.
In terms of cost control, we need to accurately calculate every expense to avoid unnecessary costs. As for market risks, we need to pay more attention to industry trends and government changes, and prepare response plans in advance."
Shen Yunyan listened to Su Yue's suggestions and nodded frequently, his eyes full of desire for new knowledge and longing for the future.
On a sunny afternoon, Su Yue called Shen Yunyan to the study. The study was filled with the faint scent of ink, quiet and solemn.
Su Yue sat at the desk, looking at Shen Yunyan seriously, and slowly said: "Ayan, I have thought about it for a long time and decided to let you take over the family business. You try to do it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunyan's face immediately showed panic. He quickly waved his hand and declined, "Yuer, this is impossible! I don't think I have the ability to do it. I'm afraid I will disappoint your expectations and bring losses to our family."
He lowered his head, wrung his hands tightly together, and his tone was full of insecurity.
Su Yue stood up, walked to Shen Yunyan, patted his shoulder gently, and said with a firm but gentle look: "Ayan, don't belittle yourself like this. I have seen your performance during this period of time.
From our visits to the stores together, to the ideas and suggestions you put forward, and the results you achieved by putting them into practice, it is enough to prove that you have this potential.”
She paused and continued, "Besides, no one is born with the talent for business. They all grow through constant exploration and practice. I believe in you. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to do it well."
Shen Yunyan raised his head and looked at Su Yue's trusting eyes. His heart moved slightly, but he was still a little hesitant: "Yuer, I'm still afraid..."
Su Yue encouraged again: "Yun Yan, you don't have to be afraid. I will assist you from the side, and we can discuss and solve any problems together.
I believe that as long as you are willing to work hard, you will be able to overcome difficulties and manage your business in an orderly manner.
You have to believe in yourself, and also believe in my judgment of you." Su Yue's voice was soft but full of power.
As Shen Yunyan listened to Su Yue's sincere and encouraging words, courage and determination gradually rose in his heart.
He took a deep breath, finally nodded, and said, "Yuer, since you trust me so much, then I promise you. I will definitely do my best and live up to your expectations!"
Su Yue showed a relieved smile on her face and said, "Okay, Ayan, I believe you will not let me down."
In the study, sunlight shone through the window onto the two of them, illuminating their hopeful faces.
In the days that followed, Shen Yunyan gradually improved and expanded each shop according to the plan he had discussed with Su Yue. He left home early and returned late every day, doing everything himself, not missing any details.
In the cloth shop, he carefully selected fabrics and discussed new styles with the craftsmen; in the jewelry store, he designed unique accessories with the craftsmen and personally received important guests.
Gradually, the shop's business became more and more prosperous, and the profits were much higher than before.
That day, Su Yue came to the cloth shop and saw that the store was crowded with customers. She nodded with satisfaction.
She smiled and said to Shen Yunyan: "Ayan, you did a great job, which exceeded my expectations."
Shen Yunyan smiled modestly and said, "This is all because Yue'er trusts me and gives me the opportunity."
Just then, a lady in luxurious clothes walked into the store, and Shen Yunyan immediately went to greet her.
He said politely, "Madam, welcome. We have recently received several new fabrics that are perfect for a distinguished guest like you."
The lady was impressed by Shen Yunyan's enthusiasm and professionalism and selected several pieces of cloth.
Su Yue watched Shen Yunyan skillfully greet customers and felt very pleased. She knew that Shen Yunyan had taken solid steps on the road of business and would surely achieve greater success in the future.
Ever since Shen Yunyan took over the family business and started doing business, he seemed like a different person.
He was no longer the timid and unconfident Shen Yunyan, but became energetic and confident.
Every morning, he would go out in high spirits, communicate with the shop owners and clerks in various stores, and handle various business matters.
His decisive and wise decisions made the family business more prosperous.
One day, everyone gathered in the courtyard to chat. Lin Yuxuan looked at Shen Yunyan's high-spirited appearance and couldn't help but teasing him, "Hey, look at our boss Shen. Being a boss is different now. He even walks with the wind!" Lin Yuxuan said while covering his mouth with his hands and laughing.
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
In the past, upon hearing such teasing, Shen Yunyan would have blushed to the roots of his neck, not knowing how to respond. But now, he simply smiled and said calmly, "Ah Xuan, please stop teasing me."
Then, he turned his head to look at Gu Qingyan and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, look at Xuan, she is so naughty even though she is pregnant."
Gu Qingyan also laughed and said, "Yun Yan is right. Ah Xuan, you should take care of yourself and don't make too much noise."
Lin Yuxuan pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Hmph, you guys teamed up to bully me. I'm just happy to see that Yun Yan has changed a lot." He put his hands on his hips, pretending to be angry, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Everyone laughed again, and the whole courtyard was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Shen Yunyan looked at his loving family members, his heart filled with warmth. He knew that it was because of their support and companionship that he was able to achieve what he has today.
The sun shines in the courtyard, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles. This warm scene is like a beautiful painting, which makes people intoxicated.
