Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

Liu Hongyi hurriedly said, "Mayor Ou, in a large shopping mall like this, the atmosphere is very important. In such a bright environment, everyone's mood will be improved, and they will be more eager to buy."

"The mall is too big, and even during the day, the lighting isn't very good. If all the lights were turned off, it would be dim and gloomy, and people would become very depressed. They'd always feel like something bad was going to happen, and they'd lose the mood to shop, and their desire to buy would be greatly reduced. By comparison, turning on the lights is more cost-effective and would significantly increase the mall's sales."

"Moreover, each business has installed an independent electricity and water meter, and is responsible for its own electricity and water bills."

As if to verify what he said, Liu Hongyi instructed the two merchants on the spot to turn off all the lights and neon lights in their shops. Suddenly, it became pitch black, and even people could not be seen clearly, let alone the goods.

After such a comparison, the effect is indeed immediate.

Tai Zhengyang smiled and said, "It seems that there are many tricks to selling things. Looking at this, people really don't want to go into this dark shop. They can't even see what's being sold."

Mayor Ou nodded repeatedly and said with admiration, "There really is a way to do everything."

In fact, there is another point that Liu Hongyi did not mention, that is, at this stage, the social security situation is always worse than in later generations, and social scum such as pickpockets and thieves are common. Even if Liu Hongyi implemented very strict public security management in Zhuang'an, he could not completely eliminate these criminals.

Moreover, there will be many pickpockets and thieves from other places who will come here to commit crimes.

A brightly lit environment can also effectively curb the occurrence of such theft crimes.

Today is a happy day, let’s not talk about these things that will spoil the fun.

The area at the entrance is the daily necessities merchandise area.

There is a wide variety of small commodities.

Tai Zhengyang asked with great interest: "Hongyi, is there anything special about this?"

Liu Hongyi replied, "Secretary Tai, Chuzhou Commodity City is positioned as a large wholesale market. Based on the current needs of the people in Zhuang'an and surrounding areas, daily necessities are the most in demand at this stage."

"In recent years, we've implemented the contract responsibility system, which has significantly increased grain production and enabled some family farming. Members now have some extra money and are considering improving their quality of life. These daily necessities are affordable and can be used by every household. Small vendors from surrounding areas often buy some to take back home."

After four years of reform and opening up, people do have some extra money, but not much.

Purchasing large items still requires the whole family to make a "grit-toothed" decision, while daily necessities and small items are their favorites. Therefore, Liu Hongyi placed the daily necessities merchandise area at the entrance.

There are many kinds of small commodities, which are colorful and festive to look at, and the prices are not expensive, which can greatly stimulate consumers' desire to buy.

This is like having a meal. You start with some appetizers to whet your appetite so that you can eat more later.

The leaders touched and looked at things with great interest, and chatted with the operators from time to time.

"Hongyi, are these things all from Chuzhou?"

Governor Han Keying asked.

"Not entirely, Governor."

“Some of it is produced by ourselves.”

"Look, these tea oils are produced by the Qingqiao Tea Oil Factory."

Liu Hongyi picked up a plastic bucket, a milky white, translucent, five-liter bucket. The tea oil inside was an alluring amber color. Compared to the ceramic jar, it was much better in appearance.

"Oh, good, you guys really changed the packaging... That's right, this looks much more fashionable than the ceramic jar."

That is, the current level of plastic technology has not yet developed to the level of later generations. The pure transparent blow-molded bottles cannot be mass-produced, otherwise the appearance of cooking oil would be more attractive.
