Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Festivals and Business
'I won't be able to see you that afternoon!' Wang Changning said to Feng Yiping before getting out of the car.
'No need. As I said, in your spare time, go to the company more often and help me out. Just let Gao Zhiyi know in advance and go wherever you like, and see which area interests you.' Feng Yiping repeated what he had just said to Xiao Zhijie.
'No problem,' Wang Changning said with a smile, 'but what about salary? How do we calculate that?'
'Salary? You wish! You can't buy opportunities like this, and you want money? Isn't that right, Yu Lian?'
Yu Lian stood outside the car with her bag, smiling but not saying a word.
'Xianglin's wife is right, the richer you are, the more stingy you become. If we go to the capital for the summer holidays, you'll have to pay for everything,'
'Okay, you can stay in a youth hostel and eat a boxed lunch for ten yuan,'
Wang Changning was now cheerful, and he didn't know if it was because of going to university or because of Yu Lian. He patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder, 'Good!'
'You too,' Feng Yiping said, pulling him and whispering, "The day after tomorrow is an important holiday, don't forget!'
Wang Changning looked at Yu Lian and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't forget.'
The day after tomorrow, next Monday, is Valentine's Day.
At the entrance to the Polytechnic University, Huang Jingping helped Huang Jingshu take out the suitcase. Huang Jingshu took her sister's hand and said, 'You have good taste, so take hold of it,'
This increasingly capable cousin, whose hair is getting shorter and shorter, rarely has such sentimental moments.
'I know, you should also seize the opportunity, don't be too harsh, and lower your stance when you should.'
'If you say so, I know what to do if there is someone I like. I'm leaving!' Huang Jingshu walked towards the school without looking back, and waved his hand behind him with style.
Feng Jiasheng's niece and nephew were still sitting in the back seat, 'Let's go to the company,'
They arrived at the company building at the same time. Gao Zhiyi was already waiting there. Feng Yiping introduced the Liu sisters to Gao Zhiyi: 'They want to work in the hotel industry. I don't know the others very well. Brother Gao, please help arrange it.'
'This is Gao Zhiyi, the director of the group office. Apart from my sister, you can also contact him if you have any questions in the future,'
'Please follow me, I will take you to the personnel department to complete the formalities,'
'Thank you, Yiping,' the eldest sister of the Liu family, Zheng Zhong, thanked Feng Yiping solemnly. The work that had been worrying her was solved so easily, and it went so smoothly that it was a little hard to believe.
When they were in the county, the two of them saw the group employees who came to work on the company-arranged buses. There were people from all kinds of companies on them, and in them, the two sisters felt something that they had not felt in their former colleagues.
How can I put it? They were all very close to each other, almost like one big family. Everyone had a proud and self-confident air about them, and they all spoke loudly about their company when they chatted.
It was clear just by looking at them that this was a young, vibrant group with a bright future.
Liu Jia's younger sister looked at those spirited future colleagues with a little envy and said something unrelated to the situation, 'In the dormitory in the future, don't worry about having your clothes stolen!'
The five of them took the elevator to the office. Feng Yiping nodded to the two of them, 'Go with Director Gao. I won't be with you from now on.'
'It's fine, you go ahead. Thanks!' The two sisters looked at the office, which was already bustling with activity, and at the staff members in the cubicles, talking on the phone while operating the computer. They watched Feng Yiping lead Huang Jingping and push open the office with the general manager's name on the door. They were a little dazed. They had of course seen office buildings before, but this was the first time they had entered one.
And they were being personally guided by the group's office manager. They felt that the job they had been offered was really very different from the jobs they had had before.
'Sister,' her younger sister whispered, "I really couldn't tell before!" She was referring to Feng Yiping.
'Yes, I really couldn't tell,'
said the older sister. A few years ago, the Feng Yiping they had met was still a little shy, a little thin, and a little withdrawn. He was always too shy to speak to them, and would walk with his head down.
During the summer holidays, he always wore a straw hat and ill-fitting old clothes, and went out early in the morning and returned late at night. Feng Hongbing said that he either tended the cows or weeded the fields in the mountains.
At that time, Feng Yiping's family situation was even worse than theirs, and they really never dreamed that just a few years later, Feng Yiping's family would have such great achievements. The families of their uncles and Feng Hongbing, who they initially thought had very good conditions, now did not even compare to his family.
Jin Ling was on the phone, so she gestured for them to sit down. 'Yes, the employees of the convenience store in the provincial capital, except for those preparing for the opening tomorrow, all the others, after they have put down their luggage, are to rush to the warehouse. Yes, there is no shortage of people, and everyone will be useful.'
'Put it off for now,' Feng Yiping said, seeing that she still wanted to make a phone call. 'When are you coming to the company?'
'I haven't had a moment's rest since the third,' Jin Ling said a little testily.
'I know you're working hard, and look, I've brought you some nice things,' he said, taking things out of the big bag one by one. 'The pigs are raised at home, they haven't even eaten the leftovers from the family, they eat absolutely natural and pollution-free organic food. This is a half-cut pig's head, don't look at it, it's not very good-looking, but this is something that is only served to VIPs. And these two chickens, one was raised in a tea garden and the other in a bamboo garden, both are things that money can't buy. Tell your aunt to cook it for you these two days, the taste is absolutely different.'
Jin Ling pretended to be disgusted and told him to put it in a bag, 'Is this all you have? Are you ashamed of yourself?'
'Please, there are only two pigs like this, and there are only ten chickens in total. This is definitely the biggest one for you, senior.'
These two things are also a gimmick created by Feng Yiping. It's completely down-to-earth. Compared to the luxury goods such as tobacco, wine and tonics that leaders often receive, giving such things as gifts is also unique.
Last year, it was just an experiment, but this year, Feng Zhanchang is going to raise more.
Believe it or not, when you eat it, it may be a psychological effect, but it really does feel a little different.
'Okay, I'll accept it,' Jin Ling took out a paper bag from under the table, inside of which were two bags, one a black leather backpack and the other a classic checkered handbag, both with the prominent double-G logo. 'I rummaged around the house for a long time before I found these two that are suitable,'
'How can I accept this?' Feng Yiping said, but he didn't slow down as he took the gifts. He gave the handbag to Huang Jingping and opened the backpack himself. 'It looks like it will be a bit more durable than my school bag.'
'Thank you, Sister Jin,' Huang Jingping now also recognized the brand and knew that it was not cheap.
Jin Ling had long understood his personality of taking advantage of the situation and being a smart aleck, and she was too lazy to argue with him. 'When you go to the capital, try to find time every day to take a walk around the company. Also, the day after tomorrow is the sale of chocolates and roses, as well as the Lantern Festival sale around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. You should supervise and strive to set a new high.'
'Yes, I'll go and supervise this first thing tomorrow morning.'
Jin Ling had just called to arrange for the new employees who had just arrived to go to the warehouse and help pack the roses that had just been received.
Huang Jingping looked at the POP on the table and exclaimed, 'So expensive? You can usually buy a bouquet for the price of one flower,'
'How can you say that? Love is priceless! Besides, these flowers all came by plane, so of course they're worth more.' Feng Yiping said sternly, adding that he had also bought a set for over 200 yuan once, which was actually a box of chocolates plus a bunch of roses, and if you threw in a bottle of red wine, it would cost at least 300 yuan.
'It's only one day, and judging from last year's experience, there were still a lot of people who couldn't buy them even if they had the money,' Jin Ling also laughed.
The rise of Western holidays in China is inseparable from the efforts of businessmen. For example, over time, Christmas has become even more popular and festive than the Spring Festival. The reason is simple: this holiday can bring benefits to many people.
'If we do a good job, we will have another chance. Well, we should put this on the agenda for this year,' Feng Yiping had never thought about this seriously before, but now, on second thought, he feels that there are many opportunities.
'There's another one, oh, you mean the day when the cowherd meets the weaver girl, the Qixi Festival, right!' This time, Huang Jingping responded more quickly.
'Yes, we can't just celebrate Western festivals and ignore our own traditional festivals. We can start decorating the stores to promote this in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and immediately after the Mid-Autumn Festival, promote the Chongyang Festival. By then, our own processed chrysanthemum tea will be on the market,'
'Wait, let me write it down,' Jin Ling is always very serious when it comes to work.
'We can brainstorm together and get everyone to think about how we can increase sales by capitalising on various festivals. This should be able to serve as a new growth driver."
In the past, the convenience store only did some promotions with the flow of the times, and only targeted major festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival. This direction can definitely be used as a focus to strengthen.
The three of them marked the calendar. It turned out that, although there weren't many holidays, there were quite a few festivals. On the printed calendar, many of the festivals had not been marked, so Feng Yiping added them one by one, such as April Fools' Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc.
'If we carry out targeted promotions on these days, we should be able to increase sales by a few more points in a year!'
'No problem,' Jin Lingxin calculated and said with certainty.
