Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 330 The Most Valuable Cashier in History

Early in the morning, Mi fans who came to the Xiaomi Home flagship store lined up according to the guide line.

The length of the line grew longer as the opening date approached, and by around 9 o'clock it stretched nearly a hundred meters, which was a spectacular sight.

This is thanks to Xiaomi's previous online promotion. When you come to the Xiaomi Home flagship store, you can not only see the model of Xiaomi's new products that will be released next month, but also try them out in advance.

In addition, there are discounts for purchasing Xiaomi products on site on the same day. The more you buy, the bigger the discount, up to 8% off.

Thirdly, Mi fans can enter a lottery with their purchase receipts, and the grand prize is a Xiaomi family bucket, including new products that will be released at the new product launch conference.

Fortunately, Xiaomi was well prepared. There was a staff member responsible for maintaining order every ten meters or so, so there was no chaos.

After 9 o'clock, more and more people came to Mixc World to shop, and seeing a long queue in front of a store aroused their curiosity.

At first they thought Apple had opened a new branch here, but when they walked in, they found it was Xiaomi Home. They didn't expect that an offline store opened by a domestic mobile phone company could have such a grand occasion. It was beyond people's expectations.

The opening time of Xiaomi Home is set at 10: a.m.

Since this is the opening of the first offline store, it symbolizes Xiaomi Technology's first step in retail from online to offline.

Outside the door, on both sides are various flower baskets used to decorate the storefront. In the middle of the flowers, Xiaomi executives are standing guard like security guards, and some Xiaomi staff are maintaining order in an orderly manner next to them.

Inside the door, the Xiaomi Home store manager and sales staff were wearing orange uniforms, standing in neat formation with smiles on their faces, ready for action.

The opening ceremony was very grand, with the beating of gongs and drums. If it weren't for local policy restrictions that prohibit the setting off of firecrackers, the whole ceremony would have been very lively.

At the final ribbon-cutting ceremony, Lei Jun was in the center, Chen Mo and Lin Bin were on the left and right, and the rest were the other Xiaomi co-founders, lined up in order.

Under the flash lights of the media, everyone took the scissors handed over by the etiquette lady, cut the ribbons with their hands, and fireworks fell from the sky.

"China's first Xiaomi flagship store is now open!"

As Lei Jun announced on the spot that the Xiaomi Home flagship store was officially opened, the door of Xiaomi Home opened and officially welcomed customers!
The rice noodles rushed in impatiently.

The shutter sounds of cameras in the hands of media reporters rang out as they recorded this historic moment.

Xiaomi executives also transformed themselves into sales staff to answer consumers' questions.

There were about 300 customers in Xiaomi Home, and the waiting area was already full of people.

This time Xiaomi was well prepared. Many service staff came out to accompany Mi fans to line up outside. While everyone was waiting, some people answered questions in advance, some turned into walking vendors and offered snacks to anyone who wanted them. Some people delivered drinks in disposable paper cups with the MI logo, and also invited some acrobatic troupes to perform magic tricks.
There are even fun question-and-answer challenges with corresponding prizes, such as Xiaomi Super Write Gel Pens, night lights, etc.

This series is designed to prevent fans waiting in line from getting bored, and it aims to maximize their emotional value!
The scene was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Even after Lei Jun finished an interview with the media, he ran to the crowd in line and personally apologized to everyone for the poor hospitality, which won the favor of many people. Even Mi fans wanted to take a photo with Lei Jun, and the latter accepted them all, with a dimple on his smile like a mascot.

Now Xiaomi Home’s opening is not considered a grand opening, but a very lucky opening!
People have a herd mentality. When people shopping around Mixc World saw that the entrance of a store was so lively, they all walked up to it. After seeing the store's logo, some of them joined the queue, wanting to see what was going on inside Xiaomi Home.

In Xiaomi Home, even with the central air-conditioning turned on at full power, it still couldn't suppress the enthusiasm of the people inside.

There was a queue outside the store, and another queue inside, the queue was for the cash register.

Although the checkout counter has three lanes, there are very few customers checking out at two of them, except for those who are in a hurry.

The road in the middle formed a long queue because everyone discovered that the cashier was the handsome classmate Xiao Mo.

"Student Xiao Mo?"

"I'm here!"

"Order two Redmi H3s!"

"Okay, the deposit for two Redmi H3s is 400 yuan in total. Can I pay by WeChat, credit card or cash?"

"Let's use WeChat~" The brother took out his Xiaomi X2 and scanned the QR code on the cash register. Ding~ WeChat payment popped up on the phone, he entered the password, and the transaction was successful!

I have to say that this thing called WeChat is very convenient, and the most important thing is that you don’t need to get change, which gives you an overwhelming sense of superiority!

A few seconds later, I heard the emotionless system sound coming from the speaker.

"Four hundred yuan has been credited to my account via WeChat."

"This is the deposit receipt, please take it~" Chen Mo handed the stamped receipt to the big brother in front of him with both hands.

"Can I get your autograph?" "Uh, sorry, no autographs, but can we take a photo together?"

Chen Mo refused to sign not because his handwriting was too ugly, but because he wanted to be cautious and fear that something unexpected would happen and someone with ulterior motives would take advantage of him.

He remembered that JD.com seemed to have been implicated in a supply chain financing scam involving 300 billion yuan through two fake seals and signatures by a person known as the "Mulan of the business world". Therefore, it was better to be cautious and take precautions.

The risk of taking group photos is much smaller. At most, someone will put you in the store to show off your wealth. Besides, you are wearing Xiaomi work clothes, so if there is any problem, Xiaomi will take the blame.
"That's great, thank you for the trouble." The eldest brother didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise, and even looked a little embarrassed.

"You're welcome~"

Chen Mo walked from behind the cashier counter to the front, making a Y sign with one hand and resting the other hand on the eldest brother's shoulder, smiling brightly~
Click~next one.

Who wouldn’t love Xiao Mo, who has good eyesight, is good at making jokes, and is approachable?
When you buy Xiaomi products, you will also receive a photo with a billionaire. This shopping experience is unparalleled.

Seeing that the next person was a pretty girl with a petite figure, Chen Mo's smile became even brighter.
However, he took advantage of his height to see that the people waiting to check out were almost lining up outside the door, so he quickly communicated with other employees in charge of the cashier and changed his strategy.

Then Chen Mo shouted to the back, "You can check out on the other two sides, too. If you're in a hurry, there's an online self-service payment system. If anyone wants to take a photo with me, show the receipt. Everyone can get one~~~"

Hulah, the three teams were equalized in an instant.

Besides, they are the professionals when it comes to cashiering. Chen Mo believes that professionals should do professional things. A half-baked person like him will seriously affect the speed at which Xiaomi Home makes money, so he won't get involved.

Merchants and consumers have never been in an antagonistic relationship. Mi fans who come to Xiaomi Home feel like they have become gods. This is a service that they have never experienced in other merchants, except Haidilao.
Then God will hold Xiaomi high in the sky.

By the afternoon, more than half of the store's inventory had been sold, except for the sample and model machines on the counter.

Not to mention mobile phones, tablets, routers, and power banks, even giant gel pens, desk lamps, rice cookers, and speakers are also very popular among consumers.

Even so, there are still queues outside the door, but most people come to see the phones and then pre-order new products, or just to experience what the legendary hot-selling Xiaomi phones are like and to try out new products.

Sales are booming and all Xiaomi employees are extremely motivated. Everyone is sweating profusely but still very friendly.

Zhang Jianhui, the person in charge, was worried. It seemed that she had failed in her duty after making a promise to the boss last night. However, even though she had repeatedly overestimated the purchasing power of rice noodles, she thought she had sufficient stock.

Because Xiaomi's new product launch is approaching and the previous generation of products need to be cleared out of stock, there will be certain discounts on Xiaomi's previous products, and the flagship store is offering discounts on top of discounts. It can be said that buying here is the biggest discount on Xiaomi products.

Another most important factor was that she seriously underestimated the terrifying appeal of Mr. Lei and Mr. Chen. The number of people queuing in the afternoon was even greater than that in the morning.

She took some time to glance at her phone at noon, and even saw the hot list entry #Xiaomi Home opens for the first time, Lei Mo reunites#.

I didn’t expect the effect to be so good. Moreover, even before the price and configuration of the new product were announced, the number of pre-orders for the new product model alone exceeded 1 units.

When night fell, Zhang Jianhui reported the day's data to Lei Jun with an excited look on his face.

Even Chen Mo, who had finally had a break, was infected. He thought, he had only sold half of them in half a day. He would probably have to sell Jun'er tomorrow.
Lei Jun was thinking about the long-term plan. One store had a revenue of over 1 million yuan in a single day.
If Xiaomi opens 10 or 100 stores across the country,
Lei Jun used to be a firm believer in e-commerce, but now seeing the booming offline scene, he has been shaken and feels that the future retail market may be a combination of online and offline models.

He made all kinds of calculations, but he didn't expect that what limited Xiaomi Home's revenue was not the inventory, but the cashier process.

At present, the queue for Xiaomi Home Store has changed from a queue for experiencing the store to a queue for paying.

I still suffered from my lack of experience. I thought I would wait until the store closes at night to review business and see how to solve the cashier bottleneck.

Chen Mo washed his face and came out of the bathroom. He was very tired. His face was stiff after smiling all day.

Walking up to Lei Jun, he said, "I was thinking about this while I was in the bathroom just now. The payment and cashier process is the biggest bottleneck. It would be better to make it an offline experience, where you can place an order directly online, and then the user can take a screenshot on their phone for verification, and then pick up the goods and leave. This is the most efficient way, and it saves the offline payment process."

“It would be best if we could connect it to WeChat Pay, that way everyone would save a lot of trouble, right?”

"Look, the one who knows me best is Brother Jun!"

"Okay, let's talk about it in detail later. Do you think Xiaomi's 2 stores in 300 years are reliable?"

"No problem, but I feel that Xiaomi should have a C round, otherwise the capital chain is not enough to support the expansion of online and offline at the same time, and there is also the layout of smart home. Xiaomi's capital consumption rate is estimated to be several times that of Bi'an. I don't know how Bi'an has so much money."

"Mr. Chen, let's take a photo~~"

"Hey, here it comes!"

Chen Mo was about to show off in front of Lei Jun, but he was called to take a photo halfway through.
Lei Jun was a little slow to realize why he naturally listened to the boy's advice, and he was indeed right.
In this way, Chen, Xiaomi Mascot No. 2, Fake Cashier, Mo, spent an extremely fulfilling day at Xiaomi Home.
