Chapter 376: Grand Mall Opening

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and it is now the summer of 1988.

Li Shengli's eldest son Li Chengzhi also graduated, and as a college student, Li Shengli did not let him be idle.

Just as Lee Seung-ri had considered before, Lee Seung-ri rented a particularly large shop in the newly opened Xidan Shopping Mall, preparing to expand his small business.

Small matters like these can be left to his son. Lee Seung-ri doesn't intend to let him become a parasite. Such a shopping mall is just the right opportunity for him to practice his skills.

The most important thing is that Lee Seung-ri has taken care of everything, and all he needs is for his son to be a manager in a shopping mall.

In this era, the clothing business is still very easy to do. Li Shengli has already opened up the supply channels in the south. This time, Li Shengli directly told all these things to his eldest son.

"Xiaozhi, the purchase channel is now in your hands. You have learned a lot of business concepts, and the store has been found for you. It's up to you from now on." Li Shengli said to his eldest son earnestly, asking him to start training now and leave the rest of the things to him after his stall has expanded in a while.

"Dad, it's too early for you. How about I go to the shop to practice first?" Li Chengzhi, who looks 70% like Lee Seung-ri, is not overconfident. He just graduated from school. Even if he wants to practice, he has to go to the shop to see how these people serve customers.

"Is that so?" Seeing his son looking at him calmly, Li Shengli nodded. Fortunately, the child was not taught a fool and knew to start from the grassroots.

"Since you want to go to the grassroots level, that's fine. You can stay in each of the stores for a week and see how others deal with the problem." Li Shengli understood his son's idea. This matter still had to start from scratch. At least his son had to understand the current popular elements.

However, time waits for no one. After obtaining the business license, Lee Seung-ri purchased the goods early. For this purpose, Lee Seung-ri even rented a warehouse, which was filled with various clothes imported from the south. Of course, Lee Seung-ri also used some small marketing methods from later generations.

Before the opening, Lee Seung-ri posted a recruitment notice and was well prepared for the staff needed for the clothing store. Because the store is quite large, with an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters, Lee Seung-ri also hired quite a few people.

The salary offered by Lee Seung-ri is not small, and the most important thing is that the salary offered by Lee Seung-ri is not a fixed salary but a commission-based salary.

This time, Li Shengli was not wholesale clothes in the market. The daily consumption of clothes in such a large clothing mall was not a small number. Li Shengli went to Guangzhou specifically to find a local clothing factory and signed a supply contract with them.

Li Shengli specially trained this group of sales clerks according to the standards of later generations. They all used normal sales methods. Moreover, Li Shengli was not a pervert. He specially ordered work clothes for these people that were worn by people in big shopping malls in later generations.

On July 15th, Lee Seung-ri's fashion-forward clothing store opened. Lee Seung-ri specially customized a flower basket for this day and invited a lion dance team to perform lion dance on the opening day.

"Bang bang bang." With the sound of gongs and drums, the lion dance performance began.

Such a lively situation certainly attracted many people to watch. Li Shengli knew very well that even good wine would not sell if it was not well known. Although this store would not lack business according to the customer flow of this mall without any publicity, advertising is still very important.

"Congratulations, Master Li."

Of course, Li Shengli also invited many leaders. Even if the leaders did not come, he would send a secretary. These were very important to leave a big impression in the eyes of the market managers. As the saying goes: It is easy to see the King of Hell, but it is hard to stop the little devils. Sometimes the big leaders are easy to talk to, but the people under the big leaders who have no ability are very troublesome.

This kind of market management is especially true for small vendors. If you are not careful, he may cause you big trouble within his small scope of authority.

Although these people are difficult to deal with, they are also very easy to deal with. As long as you show that you have connections with certain leaders, these people will be easy to talk to. There is a saying that goes, when you are powerful, there are good people around you.

Li Shengli maintained the relationship with these leaders. It was not like he accepted bribes. He just made things convenient for them in some matters. The most important thing was that Li Shengli greeted everyone with a smile, especially the secretaries in front of these leaders. No one could guarantee when they would be transferred to some positions with real power.

The girls in the shop are all newly recruited. Li Shengli did not require to recruit any educated people at this time. In addition to a few female sales clerks, there are two assistants and two security guards at the door. The assistants are usually responsible for looking after the goods in the store. When the store is short of goods, they can go to the warehouse to get some goods. The security guards are there to prevent others from causing trouble.

Lee Seung-ri customized work clothes for these waitresses based on the aesthetics of later generations, making them look particularly beautiful. These security personnel are necessary to prevent the perverts from harassing them.

"Qian Cuijuan, you will be responsible for stocking the store and doing some hygiene work in the future." Li Shengli said to Widow Qian, who was wearing work clothes, while looking at the customers coming and going in the store.

Li Shengli kept his word. Widow Qian had helped him before, and he had promised to provide her with a job. Now it was easy for her to clean up the store.

At that time, due to national regulation, people were like crazy and bought everything they saw, so Lee Seung-ri was not afraid that the clothes in his store would not sell.

For young people, such beautiful and fashionable clothes are worth buying even if they have to save money.

"Okay, leave it to me." Widow Qian agreed readily. The salary offered by Li Shengli was not low and lunch was included. Most importantly, there were people to take turns working in shifts. This was much better than working in a state-owned factory.

Li Shengli broke into sweat for the first time as he looked at the people who flocked to the opening sale.

The weather is hot right now, so even if the store is equipped with air conditioning, it won't be very effective.

Looking at the girls who were about to be drowned by the crowd, Li Shengli could only say a few words of silence for them in his heart. Li Shengli did not expect that the opening would attract so many customers. Maybe they just need to wait for a while. Now most of these people were attracted by the opening performance in the morning.

Today is the first day of opening. Lee Seung-ri did not leave so early, but waited until everyone got off work before locking the door with everyone.

Li Shengli was a little worried about leaving today's turnover in the store. Today's daily turnover was over 100,000 yuan, and Li Shengli really didn't know where to put such a big bag of money.

Looking at the big bag in his hand and his broken bicycle, Li Shengli began to think about buying a car.

After all, he is a big boss, and this old bicycle is no longer suitable for his status. Li Shengli thought about it and decided to buy a suitable means of transportation for his family.
