Chapter 71: The future is bright

Shaking his head, Li Guodong said loudly: "Today is not as good as before. You sit down and I must toast this glass of wine."

"This..." After hesitating for a moment, Gao Zhan saw that Li Guodong's expression was firm, so he sat down and expressed his attitude appropriately. The so-called elders dare not refuse, and the so-called obedience is filial piety. No matter whether it is right or wrong, since the elders have decided, it sounds correct. It is not good to insist on going against it.

Seeing Gao Zhan sitting down, Li Guodong said with a flushed face: "This time, Gao Zhan really did what a man should do. This is done well. He has recovered a large amount of tax evasion for our country, destroyed a large number of evil forces, and clearly removed those black-hearted merchants who manufacture and use gutter oil. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people!"

"Ah!" Li Qian screamed softly when she heard that her father praised Gao Zhan so high and raised the matter so high, and Li Qian screamed softly. She only knew about this matter. She had only been busy with the matter in the store recently. She didn't worry much about these things. She vaguely knew that the two guys offended Gao Zhan, so Gao Zhan wanted to compete with them on Baidao. He knew so well and told his father that his family had no need to hide anything.

But judging from today's situation, things seem to be not what I imagined. If Gao Zhan really just wanted to use his father's rights to combat his ambitions, then no matter what the result is, his father would never give him such a high evaluation.

Taking this wine glass, Li Guodong continued: "Now, the State Council has issued a document. In the next month, three rectification actions will be launched across the province, respectively, targeting tax evasion, criminal forces, and gutter oil!"

"Hiss..." Hearing his godfather's words, Gao Zhan couldn't help but take a breath. Unexpectedly, just because of his righteous act, there was such a big fluctuation. This was too unexpected.

In horror, Li Guodong raised his glass boldly and said, "Come on behalf of thousands of people who are not poisoned by gutter oil, and on behalf of those who have been oppressed by criminal forces for a long time, I would like to show my glass."

Hearing his father's words, Li Qian raised her wine glass silly, and drank the red wine with everyone. Then she hurriedly stood up, took the bottle, and filled it with everyone one by one.

Putting down the wine glass, Li Guodong hurriedly greeted everyone to eat the food. The smile on his face was constantly on his face, which made Li Qian and Li's mother confused. What was going on today? What happened? Why are you so happy?

However, although he didn't know what happened, Li Qian knew his father very well. He was a domineering person, but he was also a person with clear grudges. He emphasized that he would reward all merits and punish all mistakes. In front of him, if he praised you, then you must have done something good. If he criticized you, then you should review yourself. You must have done something wrong.

In fact, if you can make an official very big, the most important thing is that you must have it. This is that you will reward your merits and punish your mistakes. If you don’t do this, you will disappoint your subordinates.

After eating a few bites of the dishes, Li Guodong put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass again, and looked at Gao Zhan with a smile and said: I still have to toast Gao Zhan for this second glass of wine.

"Ah..." Li Qian shouted again, after living such a big life, she saw her father toasting to the younger generation for the first time, and she toasted two glasses in a row. In the past, it was the treatment that only the central officials could have when they came down. If they wanted to toast three glasses in a row, it would be possible at the Prime Minister's level. What's wrong today? What happened? The more they thought about it, the more curious Li Qian became.

Looking at Gao Zhan with admiration, Li Guodong smiled and said, "Mingzhe used to say that you are a lucky star. To be honest, do I believe it too much? Even if I become the acting secretary of the provincial party committee because of you, even if I have the power because of you, I still don't believe it..."

Speaking of this, Li Guodong shook his head and continued, "But this time, I really believe it. Anyone who has something to do with you, no matter what the process is, in the words of that boy Mingzhe, you will be promoted if you meet it!"

"What!" When he heard his father's words, the most surprised thing this time was that Li Qian was born in a political family. It was much more difficult to make her not understand the officialdom than to make her not understand 112. For the national power institutions, they basically knew it at the age of five. For example, what is the official position, what is the title of each official position, and what is responsible for, they all came out and never had any ambiguity.

Now my father is the acting provincial party secretary, but he just said that he will be promoted if he meets him! What does this mean? You know... from an agent to a formal one, this is not called promotion, the agency is just an excessive, and the real promotion can only be one, but... Li Qian couldn't believe that it was true. This is too exaggerated. She has just become an acting provincial party secretary for a few months, so she was promoted again?

For ordinary people, they don’t think it is very difficult to go from the ministerial level to the half level, but in fact, this level is exactly the most difficult, and can be described as difficult as the sky above. This half level difference is the separation between heaven and earth!

In a sense, the emperor and the prime minister are only one level different, but some people think that this level is easy to cross? In fact, it is equivalent to a gap. Unless there are great opportunities and great causes and conditions, it is absolutely impossible to cross.

To be honest, my father is already fifty-four or five years old. Li Qian didn't think that his father would cross this level before. It was really difficult. Before today, everything was without warning and there was no sign of any sign on the surface that he might cross it. Even with the power of the Li family, he could not do this.

But now, from my father's words and his performance today, Li Qian has to believe that his father has been promoted again! In just one year, from the governor to the secretary, and from the secretary to the central government, such a triple jump is probably unprecedented.

Li Qian was shocked and thought, Li Guodong continued: "This time, under the exposure of Gao Zhan, we carried out three rectification work in the province, recovered more than 400 billion yuan in tax evasion, destroyed more than 20 gangs of criminal gangs, and more than 3,000 black merchants in Qingcha gutter oil manufacturing and use, with remarkable results!"

"Hiss..." gasped, but this time it was not Gao Zhan, but Li Qian, born in a political family, she knew too well how difficult it was to have such a huge political achievement, and she knew what it meant, could it be...

Covering his chest nervously, Li Qian looked at his father tremblingly. Sure enough... Li Guodong continued: "This afternoon, the old man called. After this incident, I will enter the Politburo and become an alternate member of the Politburo. If the results of the three national rectification activities are significant, I will directly become a member of the Politburo."

"Yeah?" Gao Zhan was confused when he heard Li Guodong's words. He was an alternate member of the Politburo? What was that? Although it sounded very familiar and often heard in the news, he seemed not an amazing official, let alone an alternate member.

"Ah!" Li Qian was not as confused as Gao Zhan. She jumped up from the chair and screamed loudly, without any ladylike appearance. Looking at Li Qian so crazy, Gao Zhan was completely confused. He had known Li Qian for so long, but he had never seen her lose her composure. You know... Even if she took away her chastity at that time, she could keep her face calm, as if nothing had happened, but now...

Not only Li Qian, but Li's mother was also excited and burst into tears. She couldn't control herself. She pursued something for her life and appeared in front of her. It was like a dream!

In the entire restaurant, only Gao Zhan, Lu Ying, and Bai Lu sat there stupidly. Look at me, I look at you, and I don’t know what happened at all.

Around the table, Li Qian jumped happily and screamed. Facing her daughter's disobedience, Li Guodong would have scolded her before, but today, he didn't say anything, just smiled and watched.

When he jumped to Gao Zhan, Li Qian dragged Gao Zhan from the chair, shaking his hands regardless of the matter, shaking Gao Zhan like a sieve, but he couldn't feel happy at all. What's wrong with this? Alternative Member of the Politburo, is there anything so worthy of happiness? It's too exaggerated.

Finally, Li Qian noticed Gao Zhan's shock. From Gao Zhan's confused eyes, she quickly knew the problem and said to Gao Zhan with a smile: "You fool, why don't you know this? Politburo! Don't you know what this means?"

He shook his head in a daze, and Gao Zhan smiled bitterly, "If you want to talk about the leaders at the county and city level, I will be more clear, but when I get to the province, I am confused. As for going up, sweat... I really have a dark look, and I know the Prime Minister and the General Secretary."

After hearing Gao Zhan's words, Li Qian turned Gao Zhan's eyes angrily and said, "You actually know this, that's really amazing. Let me tell you this. The Prime Minister and the Secretary are both one of the nine Standing Committee members of the Politburo!"

"Ah!" Hearing this, Gao Zhan was stunned. This is too exaggerated! If we continue to reason about this, then the Politburo is simply too exaggerated, so exaggerated that Gao Zhan could not believe it!

Seeing Gao Zhan's stunned look, Li Guodong gently put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Since you have read the news, what is the noun you have heard the most?"

Facing this question, Gao Zhan really couldn't answer, but fortunately, Li Qian answered directly: "I know, it's the Party Central Committee and the State Council!"

"That's right!" Nodded, Li Guodong continued with a smile: "In fact, the so-called Politburo is what we generally call the Party Central Committee. Do you know the concept of the Politburo?"

Li Qian seemed to be afraid that Gao Zhan would not understand, and continued to explain: "The Politburo represents the Communist Party to the outside world and leads the whole party, and the party is in charge of cadres. If it were in ancient times, the Politburo would be the emperor, the three emperors, nine ministers, and the court would represent the court."

"Damn!" Hearing this, Gao Zhan finally understood the feelings... In the Politburo, they were all the top officials in the country, and they were the supreme ones. This was too terrifying.

It seems that Gao Zhan was not hit hard enough, Li Qian continued: "The Politburo member is at the same level as the Vice Premier of the State Council, and his status is even slightly higher. Do you understand now?"

"Pu..." Sitting on the chair, Gao Zhan looked at Li Guodong blankly. This is a veritable leader! And he is the most prominent and most expensive.

It can be said that the Politburo members are the same as the Deputy Prime Minister. Going further up, that is, the General Secretary and the Prime Minister. When they reach that level, they are already promoted. After a lifetime of officialdom, all officials' ultimate dreams are actually to enter the Politburo. Unless they want to rebel and become emperor, they will not be able to pursue higher quests.

To be honest, Gao Zhan himself didn't know how he went through it. He felt confused and unreal... Gao Zhan knew that it would not take long before he could often hear Li Guodong being a member of the Politburo on TV news, which was much better than the provincial party secretary.

It was not until 9:30 in the evening that Gao Zhan and some people said goodbye and left. When they rushed back to the store, it was almost ten o'clock, and the four members on duty at night had not yet gotten off work.

When I returned to the second floor, I found that everyone had not returned home, and they adjusted their postures and clothes around the arranged models.

Standing at the entrance of the stairs, Gao Zhan and his group looked at the scene in front of them with emotion. They stood for more than ten seconds, but no one noticed them. It can be seen that everyone was completely immersed in work.

They looked at each other, and then... the three of them also walked over. When Gao Zhan and others came back, all the girls smiled, said hello to each other, and continued to busy themselves.

It is different from the layout of the first floor. If the first floor is a party of aristocratic people, then the second floor is a gathering of nobles. Everyone is a noble celebrity with prominent status, chatting in different positions in different postures. From a certain perspective, the clothing on the second floor is itself prepared for successful people with status and status. Not everyone can afford clothing of more than 3,000 yuan.

Although the clothing on the second floor is relatively expensive, starting from 3,000 yuan, and the expensive ones can be sold for 5,000 or 6,000 yuan, in fact, the cost is much higher. From fabrics to embellishments, the profit of a single piece is set at 2,000 yuan. The profit obtained for each piece is equivalent to selling two pieces on the first floor.

I was busy until after eleven o'clock, and the preliminary adjustment was finally completed. The atmosphere of the aristocratic gathering finally came out. Although the subtle movement adjustments still take some time, it was obviously not that everyone refused to endure hardships, but that they were not energetic enough and forced to do it, the effect would only be very poor.

After forcibly rushing everyone home to rest, Gao Zhan and others did not stop for a long time. After closing the store door, they rushed home directly. After all, they were actually more tired than the employees. After all,... they had to consider too much more things than the employees.

There was nothing to say all night. At 7 o'clock the next morning, Gao Zhan and En left home and rushed to the store. Although it was not until nine o'clock to start officially, the clothing on the second floor still needed a slight adjustment before opening.

After rushing to the store at 7:30, Gao Zhan was pleased to find that all the employees of the company were here and gathered on the second floor to make minor adjustments to all the models.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally... With a quarter of an hour left before nine o'clock, all adjustments were over. Although it might be perfect, it could already satisfy everyone. You can take the next adjustments slowly and not hurry up for a while.

At about 9 a.m., the clothing store officially opened. In this super metropolis, there are more than two million people living in. In this summer and autumn season, as the temperature drops, many girls who love beauty are no longer satisfied with the old autumn clothes of last year. They took advantage of the weekend to come to the pedestrian street in groups of three or three to start buying autumn clothes.

For those who are engaged in clothing business, this is one of the biggest sales climaxes in the year. Although it is not as good as summer clothing and Spring Festival, the difference is not too much.

This is generally true for those who do clothing business. They only rely on a few days a week to live, and the sales are not very good on weekdays. They will only explode on weekends.

Over the past half month, Dong Yu has been busy with his feet, and his feet are not touching the ground. Through various advertising and publicity methods, it is particularly worth mentioning that there are three on the left between the circular columns on both sides of the first floor, and a total of six large-scale color advertisements were posted. The advertisements were specially hired European models, photographed in costumes of Luying, highlighting the aristocratic temperament of Luying clothing.

In this advertising campaign, Luying Clothing clearly set the biggest highlight. Every customer entering the clothing store can receive special guidance from professional designers. According to the customer's physical conditions and characteristics, as well as temperament, etc., it will tailor-made clothing for customers, and recommend the matching of corresponding accessories and small items.

Gao Zhan has seen all Dong Yu's advertising planning, but although he has seen it, there are too many categories of advertising, and he spent more than 200,000 yuan on Gao Zhan, so what he did? Maybe Li Qian has a clear idea, but Gao Zhan is still vague, but it doesn't matter. Now it's time to test the results.

Since the cooling has dropped significantly in recent days and air conditioning passes by, it is impossible to continue wearing summer clothes, especially in the morning and evening. You can’t go out in summer clothes at all, and it’s so cold.

As soon as the door opened at nine o'clock, Dong Yu's work over the past half month was immediately proven. Almost ten minutes after the start of business, the first and second floors of Luying Clothing were occupied by a large number of customers, and the entire store felt crowded like never before.

Originally, the arrangement was made by model, and now with many customers, looking around, the entire store was filled with people, and it was bustling with people, like a train station.

Not only is there a lot of people, but the transaction volume is also very huge. The second floor is almost there, especially on the first floor. There seems to be people waiting for the checkout in front of the Bank of Communications Station. The main reason for this is the advertising offensive with Dong Yu.

The price of around 1,500 yuan is basically something that most people can afford. In terms of advertising, Dong Yu has successfully positioned Luying Clothing as a high-end brand. Of course... just for the moment, it is not a luxury product.

Although it is a bit of a boastful suspicion, it has to be admitted that both Luying Clothing’s store and the clothing here give people a very noble and elegant feeling, especially the decoration in the store, which directly gives people a strong impact. In fact... many people who don’t know the truth think this is a foreign brand.

In fact, the whole piece of clothing does not have the Chinese character, and the logo of the clothing is the metal brand with the word ly. Even if it is explained, it is a comparison in Chinese and English.

From nine o'clock to twelve o'clock, in three hours, more than 60 pieces of clothing were sold on the first floor, and one piece of clothing was sold on average every three minutes. As for the second floor, although the number was a little smaller, everyone expected that more than 40 pieces of clothing were sold. You should know that the net profit of these more than 40 pieces was equivalent to 80 pieces on the first floor!

Looking at the busy scene in the store, Gao Zhanle couldn't even close his mouth. Gao Zhan was really satisfied with Dong Yu's work. The reason why the transaction volume was so large was actually due to advertising offensives. Gao Zhan asked, 80% of the customers who spent money to buy clothing came with leaflets and gold rolls, which shows how well Dong Yu's work was done.

Time passes by minute by minute, all the employees are busy walking around, walking quickly, and the entire store is always crowded, with people coming in and out. For high-end brand stores, such a scene is difficult to see even during festivals.

During a busy day, everyone was dizzy. When the store closed at twelve o'clock in the evening, none of the employees left. The store was really too busy and all the employees couldn't leave. Everyone came here from 9 o'clock in the morning and persisted until twelve o'clock in the evening. They worked for fifteen hours, but no one complained!

After detailed calculations, a total of 247 silver angel series and 135 golden angel series were sold throughout the day and 15 hours today. Together, a total of 382 clothes were sold, with a net profit of 517,000 yuan.

Of course, the so-called net profit here is just a deduction of wages and bonuses, and does not include rent and other expenses. After all,... the house is high and there is no need to calculate it so carefully.

Some people may say that Dong Yu spent more than 200,000 yuan on advertising, but only sold more than 500,000 yuan today. Is it a loss? In fact, the advertising effect is a long-term and continuity effect. You cannot expect to see the effect in one day. In the next month, the effects of those advertising will continue to take effect. The advertising fee of more than 200,000 yuan will never be spent in vain.

Sure enough, on the next day, Sunday, sales broke the record again. By the time of closing at twelve o'clock in the evening, the net profit exceeded the 600,000 mark for the first time, reaching 604,300 yuan, and the income exceeded one million in two days. This is like a myth. You must know... Even if the Xiangche Beauty Auto Beauty Store is so large, it only has more than two million in revenue per month.

Of course... I can't always expect clothing stores to make money like this. Now it's time for the change of seasons. Everyone has to fill in new autumn clothes. Once this period has passed, the business will not be so good. It would be good to sell dozens of sets a day. Just this... it's still possible to rely on the huge passenger flow of the pedestrian street.

The change of autumn clothes will last about a month, and the effect of Dong Yu's advertising will last for about so long. Although the advertisements are still being made, broadcasting and newspapers are being published, the intensity and intensity have been reduced, and the funds consumed are also less.

With the opening of the second floor, the store's business has reached a higher level, with the daily net profit of about 100,000 yuan, which is comparable to many medium-sized clothing shopping malls. However, compared with those medium-sized shopping malls that cost tens of thousands of square meters, Luying Clothing only uses two floors, with a total area of ​​less than 1,000 square meters. Of course... the advantages of pedestrian streets are also one of the important reasons.

After three consecutive days, after a net profit of over 100,000 yuan, Gao Zhan finally felt relieved, but looking at the card, it was only more than 200,000 yuan. The money did not come from the store, but was earned by typing.

In fact, after the store has been relocated, the money in the store has stopped being paid on Gaozhan's card. Since a company has been established, it is naturally necessary to have a special account used by the company. It is absolutely impossible to make a difference in the company. It will only cause confusion in the account, and the only one who suffers in the end is Gaozhan.

Moreover, although we make a lot of money now, the company needs to develop and spend money every moment, which is not enough to spend. Now the third floor has begun to be renovated as required. On the floor of nearly 450 square meters, 200 square meters were marked out for hair salons and 250 square meters were marked out for beauty. The decoration itself requires money, and a lot of equipment and tools are purchased, and professional talents are hired.

Whether it is beauty or hair salon, you cannot directly hire a newly graduated student. What can you expect someone who has just learned to cut hair? Without years of experience, you can't do anything. Even if you force yourself to do it, your skills will not satisfy your customers, and you will lose your brand.

Whether it is hair salon, beauty, or makeup, it requires rich knowledge, a lot of experience, and excellent talent. With the brand image of Luying Clothing, it is not suitable for those freshmen who can't even know anything to sit in the formation.

Take clothing design as an example. Lu Ying is sitting in the formation. No matter how good Lu Ying is, the boss Gao Zhan is willing. This store was originally opened for her, so she must be the standard. However, beauty, hairdressing, and makeup are different. Lu Ying doesn’t understand this, and no one in the store understands it, so you must invite more professional people with a lot of work experience. If you want to do it, you must do high standards, otherwise how can you be worthy of Lu Ying’s clothing status.

Therefore, although I have earned a lot of money recently, it is not enough to just fill in the beauty and hair salon equipment. Gao Zhan wants to get money from the store, unless he doesn't want to develop it anymore.

Of course, although it cannot be taken out, the company's assets are continuing to increase. The investment is now for greater gains in the future. In fact, this is the case when running a company. You can't see more money in your pocket, but you just see that the assets are getting bigger and bigger. To a certain extent, that is a group company. If it grows bigger, it will be a multinational company.
To be continued...
