In a blink of an eye, there are only three days left until New Year's Day.
The digital store is opening soon.
Su Zelin invested almost all of his money in this store.
At the end of August, there was about 160,000 yuan in the card. Later, he made some stock investments based on his memory. Although it was not as good as Shenghai Meilin, the money in the card reached more than 200,000 yuan after a few months.
However, for this digital store, he took out all of them.
The decoration cost about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, which is definitely a lot of money at that time, and the rest was used for shopping.
Either don't do it, or if you do it, do something big. There's no point in doing small things.
Su Jianjun hopes that his son can start playing from a young age, because Su's father thinks that Su Zelin lacks experience and cannot be too ambitious and want to eat a fat man in one bite.
However, he had no idea that his son had gained a lot of experience in business.
Su Zelin found time to call Yang Fen: "Brother Yang, my shop will open on New Year's Day at nine in the morning. If you are free, come over and have a cup of tea!"
There will be opportunities to cooperate with Brother Yang in the future. This partner is quite reliable. But before that, you have to show some results first, otherwise others may not trust you.
Su Zelin was confident that as long as Yang Fen came to visit this digital store, his opinion of him would change immediately.
"Oh, the store is opening on New Year's Day, just in time for the new century, so congratulations to Boss Su first!"
Yang Fen was half joking.
"You've just entered college, and you've become a boss at such a young age. It's really enviable!"
Su Zelin laughed and said, "Haha, it's just a joke. Actually, my cousin is the investor. I'm just helping to manage it. There are many things I haven't done well. Brother Yang, you have to give me some advice!"
After he said that, Brother Yang understood something.
For some reason, the college student did not want to reveal his identity as the owner of a digital store, so he fabricated a cousin out of thin air.
"I don't deserve your advice, but congratulations are a must! I will definitely go, but as agreed, I can only go over to congratulate you, and I won't stay for long. After all, there is a small peak in machine assembly during the New Year's Day, so my shop will be very busy. We already have quite a few orders, so I hope you can understand!"
Yang Fen was also an honest man, so he made things clear first to avoid unnecessary delays.
"Of course. I'd be very grateful to you, Brother Yang, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and show me your favor. In that case, let's talk about it when we meet!"
"Okay, let's talk later!"
"… "
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yang found a clerk and said, "I have to go out for work at nine o'clock on New Year's Day, but it won't be too long, about an hour. Please take care of the store and don't neglect the customers."
"Yes, I know, boss, don't worry!"
The guy was slightly surprised when he answered.
On days when there are more machine installations, Brother Yang is always in charge personally. I wonder what important matter is this time.
…
College of Finance, boys’ dormitory.
As soon as Su Zelin finished the call, Zeng Kaiping found him.
At this time, the energetic young man has walked out of the shadows and regained his former charm.
"Third brother, aren't you the manager of that digital store that's about to open? Please buy me a computer on New Year's Day. I'll just need the same configuration as yours!"
He felt very comfortable using this machine, especially the display. After comparing it with other people's machines, Zeng Kaiping always felt that Su Zelin's machine had more beautiful colors and was more pleasing to the eye, so he planned to copy it completely.
Zeng Kaiping still feels embarrassed to use Su Zelin's computer all day long, even when the computer is idle, and plans to take advantage of the New Year's Day to provide him with a computer to boost his sales.
"Okay, I'll give you a round number, ten thousand!"
Su Zelin gave a quick quote.
"Hey, Lao San, when you went to the computer city to buy this machine, didn't it cost you 10,000 plus 200?"
Feng Zhongliang was puzzled.
When he first entered school, Su Zelin brought back a computer from the computer city. The energetic young man happened to arrive at the dormitory, and Old Feng was also there. He asked about the price at that time. It was a little over ten thousand. Feng Zhongliang still remembers it very clearly.
"Yeah, how come it's cheaper than Computer City?"
Zeng Kaiping was also puzzled.
In many people's impressions, it is the most cost-effective to buy computers in a computer mall. After all, there are many shops and the competition is fierce. The energetic young man was mentally prepared. He was willing to spend a little more money, even if it was to support Su Zelin. Unexpectedly, the quotation was lower, which surprised him a little.
"The price of hardware in the computer market fluctuates frequently. The price of the same component may be different every month!"
Su Zelin paused for a moment and continued, "In addition, this digital store also uses the low-profit, high-volume sales strategy, so the prices are similar to those in the computer mall outside, or even slightly lower!"
"Wow, that's great, so I can save two hundred dollars!"
Zeng Kaiping was very happy.
He doesn't care about spending a few hundred more dollars to support Su Zelin. Even though he hasn't become a tycoon in Liede now, he is still a native of Shenzhen and his family conditions are quite good. Of course, it would be better if he could save some money.
"Yes, it's convenient to provide after-sales service on campus!" Su Zelin half-jokingly said, "If you watch too many movies and the system crashes, you can always take it to the school to install the system for free!"
Zeng Kaiping felt a little embarrassed. He actually often used Su Zelin's machine to watch movies.
"Okay, it's decided happily. Third brother, I'll go there as soon as the store opens at nine o'clock on New Year's Day. Please book it for me first!"
It is more comfortable to use my own machine. I can go fishing whenever I want.
"If it's really more cost-effective than the computer mall, I will buy my computer from this digital store in the future. It will save me a lot of trouble with the after-sales service!"
Cai Wensheng made up his mind.
Hu Xu asked shyly, "Third brother, I heard that this store also provides computer rental services, right?"
He was from a rural area in Bayu. His parents were farmers and his family was not well off. Besides himself, he also had a younger brother who was a sophomore in high school. Going to college also required money, so Hu Xu did not plan to buy a computer for college. After all, this thing was still considered a small luxury item and could easily cost several thousand yuan.
However, when doing your graduation project, you can't be without a computer. You need it all day long to look up information, write papers, etc.
He feels embarrassed to borrow other people's things frequently, after all, he will use them frequently when doing his graduation project, so he is very concerned about this issue, even though he is still several years away from graduation.
Su Zelin nodded: "Yes, you can also rent it, 200 yuan per month!"
"Well, it's not expensive."
Hu Xu could accept this price.
After all, a computer costs several thousand yuan and its lifespan is usually only a few years. If you average it out, it would probably cost more than a hundred yuan per year.
It is understandable that others rent a little more. You can't make no money at all. What's more, you only need to rent it for two or three months while doing your graduation project.
"What about the deposit?"
This is another issue that he is concerned about.
Although the rent is not high, I am afraid that the deposit and the original price of the computer will still be difficult to afford.
“No deposit is required, just provide a copy of your ID and student ID!”
“That’s good!”
Hu Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, I have a computer for my graduation project.
…
On the eve of New Year's Day, all employees of the digital store, including college students, were called together for a meeting.
The store is going to open tomorrow, and Kang Baohong made a pre-war mobilization.
This guy just became a manager and his speech is surprisingly good. It's a bit rough, after all, he only graduated from junior high school and has limited education.
But he was very passionate when he gave a speech, and his emotions, combined with his body language, were quite infectious. At least he succeeded in achieving his goal of inspiring people, and he made the employees excited, as if if this digital store could succeed, the motherland would be able to achieve the four modernizations.
With such a low level of education, he was able to become a city-level sales manager for a certain company before Su Zelin was reborn. He definitely has talent.
Seeing the reactions of the employees, Kang Baohong was very satisfied with his speech and thought that he did have some potential to be a leader.
"Next, let's welcome the student representative, store manager Su Zelin, to say a few words to us!"
Kang Baohong gave up the stage at the right time because he wanted to let Su Zelin perform as well.
The employees didn't know that this young man was the real owner of the digital store.
When people heard that he was a freshman but was chosen as the store manager, many people were actually dissatisfied and thought that you are a rookie with no part-time experience, so how could you have the qualifications to sit in this position.
Of course, Kang Baohong knew that Su Zelin was really amazing. He himself was also a proud person. When he was a network administrator, he did not obey his boss and thought that his boss was a fool who knew nothing.
However, when he first met this young boss at his aunt's house, he was already impressed by him after talking for less than half an hour.
If the small boss can convince himself, it will naturally be no problem for him to convince these college students.
Applause broke out, but it was sparse and not very enthusiastic. Only Luo Xi, Ding Lina and Liu Wanyin clapped louder.
Luo Xi and Liu Wanyin are not official store employees. They were just called over to help out during the New Year's Day period. They are just doing it for free.
However, the two women were quite competent. Since they were planning to help, even if it was for free, they had to come to the meeting and listen, and also to accompany Liu Wanyin.
From the applause, it can be heard that Su Zelin does not have much prestige in the digital store. After all, to be a team leader, it is not enough to be designated by the leader, qualifications and abilities are also very important.
Hunzi had too little experience, and no one could see his abilities before the digital store opened, so it was no surprise that many people were dissatisfied.
Luo Xi also realized Su Zelin's situation. Being a boss in a company is not easy and it is a big challenge for him.
She was looking forward to it and wanted to see how the squad leader would convince the others this time.
Su Zelin cleared his throat and said slowly, "It seems that everyone doesn't like me very much. After all, I am just a rookie as the store manager."
"There is a saying that goes like this - 'I'm not afraid of opponents who are like gods, I'm afraid of teammates who are like pigs'"
"It's completely understandable that people are worried that I'm a bad teammate."
Everyone couldn't help but smile at what Hunzi said.
Self-mockery is an important skill in workplace communication, especially for colleagues you have just met, who don't know much about you yet, or even those who are prejudiced against you for some reason. Appropriate self-mockery will make others feel that you are a humble person and not that bad.
Su Zelin continued, "But thanks to the leadership's recognition, I became the store manager. As a rookie, I can only wear a helmet and climb trees - I have to bite the bullet!"
This time, many people chuckled.
Putting aside other things about the store manager, at least everyone discovered two of his strengths: he is humble and low-key, and he is humorous and witty.
Yes, others were also appointed by the leaders. When they have the opportunity to become a store manager, can they refuse
If you look down on him because of this, it seems that you are narrow-minded.
"You don't have to envy me too much. A store manager has to do a lot more work, but the salary is about the same as that of an ordinary employee. The only difference is that I get a little extra subsidy for phone bills."
When Su Zelin said his third sentence, in addition to laughter, some employees even started applauding him.
This rookie store manager is quite sincere and down-to-earth.
Luo Xi was shocked.
Here it comes, that concise and precise art of speech that my dad talked about!
With just a few words, the class beauty discovered that the employees' attitude towards the lazy squad leader had subtly changed.
I can’t say that I’m convinced by him, but at least I’m not as disgusted with him anymore.
Nanazi couldn't figure out so many tricks, but she felt that the gangster's tongue was extremely slippery, and he was very good at bragging, and he was able to show off with ease even in different occasions.
In the class, he is an approachable yet prestigious monitor.
In front of the girls, he transforms into a meticulous and considerate director of the Women's Federation.
When he joined the literature club, he turned into a literary youth full of flirtation.
Nowadays, in digital stores, the style is completely different, as if you can switch between different identities at will.
Liu Wanyin admires him immensely. Su Zelin is a social idiot, and in the eyes of a socially anxious person like her, he is definitely a great man.
She felt that it would be great if she could have one-tenth of the eloquence of the class monitor.
…
After a while, the atmosphere became harmonious and relaxed, and the gangster got down to business.
"No matter what, as a store manager, I have to be responsible for the store and everyone in the team!"
"There is an old saying in our country Xia, 'If a thousand people are united, they will have the strength of a thousand people; if ten thousand people are divided, no one can be used.' The ancients were very wise and realized the importance of teamwork!"
"What is a team? As the name suggests, in short, it is a united team!"
"At the 12th National Congress in September 1982, Guo Jia proposed the principle of 'planned economy as the mainstay and market regulation as the supplement' and gradually opened up the market economy. Today, market competition is increasingly fierce. If an enterprise wants to gain a foothold in the competition, it is no longer feasible to rely solely on heroism!"
"The work we do can only be done well through teamwork, because market competition is also a comprehensive competition of team capabilities!"
“Looking at the rise and fall of contemporary enterprises, it is not difficult to find that a thousand enterprises may have a thousand reasons for failure, but a thousand successful enterprises will have a common factor—a team that is united and cooperates wholeheartedly!”
"A stream flowing alone can only create tiny waves; only when hundreds of rivers converge can they create a huge wave! The importance of a good team is self-evident!"
…
When Su Zelin started to give a serious speech, everyone was surprised.
I really underestimated this rookie store manager. He is really good at speaking.
There is no need to bring a draft for a speech, just talk casually with a smile on your face, and every word you say makes sense.
Just for his eloquence, as well as his calmness and ease when speaking, one has to look at him with new eyes.
This person is actually quite confident inside, but he is just very low-key and humble!
The employees have a deeper understanding of Su Zelin.
"… "
“One flower blooming does not make spring, but a hundred flowers blooming make the whole garden full of spring!”
"Like everyone else, I am also an ordinary member of this team. I hope to grow and progress together with you! As a small store manager, my biggest wish is to try my best not to be a bad teammate and try my best to be worthy of the higher phone fee subsidy in my salary slip. Thank you!"
As soon as Su Zelin finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but laugh and applaud.
This time it was no longer sparse, but very enthusiastic.
In just a few minutes, regardless of his abilities, the store manager's good image has been established.
Those senior employees with work experience would now feel embarrassed to discriminate against him, and his speech just now was indeed meaningful.
Excellent eloquence is an important manifestation of management and marketing capabilities.
There is a reason why the manager asked him to be the store manager!
"Manager Su Zelin's speech is very good. As a team, we need to work together and pull together as one!"
Kang Baohong clapped vigorously and spoke again.
The manager of the digital store was filled with admiration.
The young boss is really a master of public speaking. He is really good at creating a good atmosphere. He is lively when it is necessary to be lively, and serious when it is necessary to be serious. People with good education are different!
I used to think that reading was useless, but now it seems that reading more books is really useful. Compared with the young boss, although my speech is also okay, I always feel that it lacks a bit of literary brilliance.
It seems that I will have to read more books to make up for my shortcomings in the future.
Su Zelin's speech was not just of high standard, but also had just the right degree of control.
In fact, he could have performed even better and even intimidated these little brats on the spot.
But a jerk can't do that.
Now I am only the store manager in name, and Kang Baohong is the manager.
Su Zelin had to let Kang Baohong establish his prestige so that he could not overshadow the others.
Otherwise, if others think that you, the store manager, are much more capable than the manager, how can the manager convince others
Of course, this speech cannot be ineffective. Su Zelin also has to make his employees respect him as the store manager.
So, he showed off a little, but deliberately restrained his edge.
Impress others without being too much.
Su Zelin returned to the team.
"Squad leader, you are such a boaster, it's all so exaggerated!"
Ding Lina said with a smile.
"What a boast! I have real talent and knowledge!"
The hunzi corrected seriously.
"Nanako, I think the class monitor is awesome!"
Liu Wanyin said with admiration.
"Look, Nana, you have to learn from Wanyin and speak with your conscience. How can you deny others' excellence?"
"Okay, okay, you're excellent, you're awesome, okay?"
Ding Lina said unhappily.
In fact, she also knew that Su Zelin was awesome, but she just couldn't stand this boy's narcissism.
The class beauty had "Admiration" written all over her face.
Among the three women, she is the one who truly understands Su Zelin deeply.
For Hunzi, this test is actually much more difficult than the class leader election.
During the class leader election, everyone in the class, male or female, except Pei Wenzhe, had a good impression of Su Zelin. He had a very high reputation in the class and was very popular, so it was natural for him to get votes.
However, these employees of the digital store were not interested in Su Zelin at first, and even had prejudices against him.
Being able to drastically change other people's impression of you and establish yourself as a store manager with just a speech is impossible to do in any way!
Luo Xi felt that he had made the right decision to come to the digital store at the invitation, and he learned a lot from the squad leader.
This person is truly a treasure trove, always able to unearth new surprises.
I want to get to know him more deeply!
…
