Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 353 Human society

After Lin Ran and Ham agreed to cooperate, the number of orders accepted by the workshop increased again.

Continuing to expand the scale of the workshop, Lin Ran did not take full responsibility as before, but handed it over to Yang Jianlong.

The 7 yuan deposit given by the other party is now also deposited in the store account, and the allocation of funds needs to be signed by Wu You and himself.

Although Yang Jianlong and the others did not raise any objections, Lin Ran still explained: "Improvement of financial procedures is mainly to prepare the store for the future, not to restrict you."

"It's okay." Yang Jianlong smiled, "Godfather, we will all support your decision unconditionally."

"Unanimously agreed!" Wei Chengbin and Li Yuanhao agreed.

Lin Ran had given them the money before, but had no intention of using it at all.

This alone is enough trust!

The new store opened on its fourth day and ushered in its first weekend.

Lin Ran will naturally not miss marketing activities.

At eight o'clock in the morning, he had arranged the gun salute.

It's just that the salute exploded, and flower petals popped out, scattering in succession.

Then, with the sound of gongs and drums, the lion dance team entered the venue, shaking their heads and jumping around, making the atmosphere of the street lively.

Although it was not an opening ceremony, the bustle at the entrance of Shengshi Craftsmanship also attracted the attention of many passers-by.

At the door of the store, a man in a Tang suit, holding a loudspeaker in his hand, shouted to the crowd: "After three days of trial operation, Shengshi Craftsmanship has officially opened. Buy crafts today and enjoy a [-]% discount."

After three days of trial operation, Shengshi Craftsmanship officially opened.

Store manager Wu You was wearing formal clothes and sitting behind the counter, his eyes scanning the work of the clerks.

Lin Ran stood enthusiastically at the door of the store to greet customers.

Today, many collectors also heard that several masters from the capital attended the opening ceremony of Shengshi Craftsmanship, and they also wanted to take a look.

There are also collectors who had previously dismissed craft shops. After hearing about the lively scene, they also took advantage of the weekend to take a look.

The decoration of the store is indeed unique. Walking in the store is more like walking on the corridor of history.

From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it only takes half an hour to complete.

However, they are overwhelmed by the various cultural relics!

Fortunately, the workshop worked overtime a few days ago and produced a batch of handicrafts, otherwise they would have been sold out again today.

Originally, his friends were supposed to bring guests over, but most of Lin Ran's friends were from the literary and entertainment circles.

You can never introduce them to a craft store.

I can only tell them indirectly that if there is no need for trading, the newly opened Shengshi Crafts Store is also worth a visit.

Through word of mouth, the store's reputation gradually grew.

Coupled with the marketing activities prepared by Lin Ran, it was another good harvest day.

Yang Jianlong was paying attention to the store's situation at the door and was very satisfied with the customer flow.

Seeing that Lin Ran was free, he quickly came over and said, "Godfather, your routine is so useful. How about we find a lion dance team to dance every week?"

Lin Ran rolled his eyes at him: "Looking for someone to dance with every day, for free?"

"Look at the customer flow, are you worried about not being able to hire people?" Yang Jianlong has been standing since 2 o'clock in the morning. Almost 3 to [-] customers enter the store every minute, and those who come out are basically just two. Carrying a bag, the transaction rate is also very high.

"It's a good thing to be able to summarize, but people will always get visual fatigue." Lin Ran explained, "If you open a video parlor or karaoke room, you can really accumulate customers using similar methods."

"Karaoke?" Yang Jianlong asked inexplicably.

This entertainment has not spread to China yet, and Lin Ran did not explain too much, but said: "In short, we are a low-key and restrained industry, and we cannot over-market."

Even if Tang Lanxuan stood up for him, they would always make handicrafts, just side projects.

Before the brand was formed, it was just an antique IP.

There were more and more customers in the store, and a familiar figure appeared in the store.

It was Ham who appeared in the store again. Lin Ran thought he was not satisfied with the terms of the contract and came over to ask what was going on.

As a result, his answer made Lin Ran dumbfounded.

It turned out that Ham had to return to China in advance to prepare for receiving the goods, and he stayed in China for half a month, but he couldn't think of any good gifts to bring back to his wife.

Perfume and luxury goods are not as good as those in their country, and my wife cannot appreciate the clothes with oriental elements...

He wanted to buy antiques, but because of his foreign status, no treasure appraisal shop was willing to sell them to him.

So, he came to Shengshi Craft Store to seek help.

Lin Ran understood and took Ham to the Tang Dynasty Pavilion area.

The clerk handed a pair of green mandarin ducks to Ham.

Lin Ran explained on the side: "This is an antique porcelain imitating the three-color Tang Dynasty sculpture with a mandarin duck playing in the water. The mandarin duck is a symbol of love in Chinese culture and represents loyalty. If you don't mind... just buy this."

Ham didn't have any hope at first, but he didn't expect Lin Ran to be so professional and helped him pick out the works immediately.

He immediately said with great gratitude: "Mr. Lin, thank you so much! I want this mandarin duck."

He has studied Chinese cultural relics, and he is considered to be half familiar with China. He naturally understands the meaning of the mandarin duck, and it is perfect to give it to his wife.

Lin Ran nodded: "If you want something in the future, just tell us and our store clerk will help you recommend it."

Ham secretly wrote down Lin Ran's management philosophy.

recommend...

After he goes back, he also wants to learn how this store operates.

Ham smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Lin, I bought the ceramic mandarin duck. Also, is there anything else worth giving?"

"There are so many things that China can give away to people." Lin Ran counted his treasures, "tea, paper fans, paper fans, Chinese knots, silk, writing brushes... and of course, our porcelain."

In English words, the difference between Chinese and ceramic words is only in the upper and lower case, which shows the influence of Chinese ceramic culture on foreigners!

Ham was dumbfounded and quickly wrote it down in notes.

After memorizing it, he gave Lin Ran a thumbs up: "Mr. Lin, you are better at doing business than most merchants. They only recommend Beijing Roast Duck. Although it is delicious, I am afraid it will be spoiled when you take it back."

Nowadays, most of the stores are in the hands of state-owned enterprises. They do not seek merit, but seek an attitude of doing things without fault, causing their efficiency to gradually decline.

Of course, Lin Ran was not naive enough to want to change the general environment. Instead, after Ham's reminder, he thought of business opportunities.

After paying the money, Ham put the ceramic mandarin duck into his bag with satisfaction and said: "Mr. Lin, I returned to China early. Regarding the delivery, I will let my butler contact you. If you have anything, you can also Call me."

Lin Ran asked: "When do you plan to open your new store?"

"It's already being planned! No later than the end of the month, you just need to ensure the delivery on time."

"Okay, Mr. Ham also remembers to abide by our agreement."

"No problem at all!"

Ham had a smile on his face, Lin Ran had helped him solve a big problem!
