Chapter 208 Manager Ji

The next day, the weather was still cool.

After breakfast, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin sent the children to the village chief's house, and then went to the workshop with Aji.

I had already planned it yesterday. I packed up my things at noon and went to the city to prepare for the opening tomorrow.

I counted the toothbrushes that have been made, and there are almost 1,600 of them. Plus the work I did this morning, it shouldn't be a problem to make 2,000 of them.

Taking advantage of this time, several people packed up all their things neatly and put them into the carriage brought by Aji.

During lunch, the two told the children that they would open the shop tomorrow and they had to go to the city.

"Mom, can we go to the city tomorrow?" Erhe held the bowl and looked at Zheng Yuan expectantly.

"Yes, we are just going to arrange things today. I will go and tell your Uncle Youwang to send you here early tomorrow morning. When you go to school in the afternoon, ask the village chief for leave and tell him that we will open tomorrow."

For a big event like the opening of a business, it is natural for the children to go along.

"We won't be back tonight, so you can cook for yourselves when you get home from school this afternoon. Dashu, Erhe, take good care of these sisters."

Knowing that they could go tomorrow, the children cheered.

Among them, Erhe and Mei'er were the happiest. Apart from other things, what they were most interested in was making money.

"Mom, should we make some ice jelly and take it away tomorrow?" Mei'er looked at Duan Minmin with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, yes! This is really a good idea. There will definitely be a lot of people coming to the opening tomorrow, and this ice jelly will definitely sell well. And when we went to the city before, many people asked us to go more often. Since we didn't go last time, they must have been craving for it." Erhe also looked excited.

"Not bad, not bad, you two have a good idea, and you have a good business sense."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin pinched the two's cheeks and gave them full affirmation.

"That's fine. I'll prepare a few buckets of ice jelly for you when you come tomorrow. However, this ice jelly is not for sale."

"Not selling? Why?" Erhe looked puzzled.

"It's used to attract customers. Think about it, isn't it true that almost everyone in Yongding County doesn't know about our ice jelly?"

"Yes, many people know us. They all say that our ice jelly is made with plenty of ingredients and has good ice, so it's very cost-effective." Erhe puffed out his chest proudly, looking very proud of himself.

"Are there still many people who don't know about our toothbrush and toothpaste?" Zheng Yuan patiently encouraged the children to think independently.

"I understand! Mom, when the time comes, we will say that a new store has opened and give away free ice jelly, and people will be attracted by the ice jelly. Then we will take the opportunity to sell our toothbrushes and toothpaste. As long as people come in, some will be curious about these and some will want to buy them! Right?" Erhe's eyes sparkled.

"This is what Auntie meant by marketing before, right?" Tao'er also reacted quickly.

After listening to what they said, the other children suddenly understood and looked at Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin with more admiration. The two mothers always could come up with some new ideas.

The cost of this ice jelly is not high, but it can attract a large number of customers. No matter they buy it or not, it is good as long as its popularity is spread.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin knew that Erhe was a smart kid who was suitable for doing business. Now it seems that this kid is suitable for this path. He has a smart mind and is interested in business. He can be trained in this direction in the future.

What is unexpected is that Mei'er's little brain works very quickly and she seems to be very interested in doing business.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were very pleased to have two smart and business-minded people in the family. Not to mention the long-term benefits, at least they would have two more little helpers in the future.

After lunch, I reminded the children again that no one would wake them up today, so they should not oversleep in the afternoon.

The two of them and Aji went to the workshop to collect the batch of toothbrushes that had been made in the morning, and then drove to the city.

As for the workers in the workshop, the two men did not let them go back and they continued to work hard as usual.

They were planning to continue this business for a long time, and they definitely couldn't stop after this wave of success. They also had great confidence in this business, so they couldn't stop the product line.

The speed of the horse carriage was indeed much faster than that of the ox cart, and Aji drove very steadily, so it didn't take long for the two of them to reach the county town.

After paying the silver to enter the city, Aji drove his carriage directly to the store they had bought this time.

After getting off the car, the two found that this store was not far from the grocery store they often went to. They were both on the same street, but the location of this store that Aji bought was better and the store was more spacious.

There were three guys busy in the store. When they saw Aji coming in, they put down their work and greeted Aji respectfully.

"Manager Ji!"

"Manager Ji!"

"Manager Ji!"

Aji nodded calmly, agreeing with several people.

It was the first time that Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin saw Aji look so serious. They wanted to laugh. They didn’t know why, but they felt awkward as if they were acquaintances pretending to be serious.

"These are Manager Zheng and Manager Duan. You haven't met them before. They are now in charge of our family's business in Yongding. Come over and meet them." Aji waved to a few people and motioned them to come over.

The three of them were feeling strange just now. There were already enough people in the store, so why did manager Aji bring two more ladies in? They didn't expect that they were actually new managers.

Female housekeepers were rare to begin with, and now there were two of them. The three of them were secretly surprised.

But it didn't show on their faces at all. Manager Ji had told them a few days ago that no matter what they were thinking, they must not show it on their faces.

The three men put down their tools, walked over respectfully, stood in a row and greeted the two men.

"Auntie, this is Xiaoliu." Aji pointed at the young man with a round face and introduced him.

The two of them looked at him and inexplicably thought of Yan Xiaoliu in "Wulin Waijiao". That actor also had a chubby face, which was very festive.

"This is Ah Cheng."

Acheng's face is not as round as Xiaoliu's, but he has a pair of curved eyes and it seems like he is smiling at any time.

“This is Xiao Fang.”

Xiao Fang, as his name suggests, has a square face and looks honest.

I have to say that Aji is really good at selecting people. Just by looking at these three people, the two of them had a feeling that it would be very comfortable to shop in this store.

After getting to know each other one by one, they started to get back to their own work.

Aji introduced the layout of the store to them.

In fact, if the store only sells toothbrushes and toothpaste, the store would be a little empty. Just look at the grocery store and you will know that the small store is almost filled with things.

It’s just that they currently only have two products, so it doesn’t matter if there is some space in the store. They can just put new products up for sale when they develop them later.

Aji planned to put all the toothbrushes on the row of shelves on the left, and all the toothpastes on the right side of the door.

The two knew what he was thinking. This toothpaste was highly recommended, so it should be placed in the most conspicuous position. There was naturally no problem with that.

But this toothpaste jar is made of ceramic after all. There will be a lot of people tomorrow, and if someone gets crowded and bumps into the shelf, it will be all over.

Therefore, the two of them suggested putting the toothpaste closer to the inside, with half of the toothbrush and half of the toothpaste in each.

In addition, a table should be placed in the middle or at the door to display the toothbrushes and toothpaste to attract customers.

Aji was very proactive. As soon as the two men asked him to do so, he took his three men to rearrange the place according to their requirements.
