Chapter 58 Earning Money with Card Points: What can a woman possibly overcome? I'm tough and fe
After August, September will follow.
Many people will come out to buy jewelry and prepare for the autumn chrysanthemum appreciation and fruit tasting feast.
An autumn banquet is the same as a spring banquet.
This is another great opportunity to make money, so be sure to seize this opportunity.
Mu Huaisheng took the newly received salary and the previous salary, and the remaining amount totaled three thousand taels.
They all switched to gold and silver materials to welcome the peak sales season of September and October.
They racked their brains trying to come up with a design.
If I had the skills, I would love to learn from Mr. Tong.
Because the monthly pay was distributed so readily, everyone's enthusiasm was indeed high.
After thinking it over, Huai Sheng added many more stools to the front of the counter.
Outside the display case, there were two small round tables and some small stools.
They also provided uniforms for the three ladies who were in charge of entertaining guests.
Once the work clothes are issued, the issue of cleaning arises.
Huai Sheng thought for a moment, then asked Aunt Wu, who was sweeping:
"Aunt Wu, I'll give you an extra two hundred yuan every month, and you'll be in charge of cleaning the work clothes."
Wash daily in hot weather, every three days in spring and autumn, and every six days in winter.
Are you willing?
Aunt Wu readily agreed.
Then they thought of the advantages and explanations for each type of item in the display case, and had the three women carry them on each other's backs when no one was around.
He also had them practice reception etiquette, and Mu Huaisheng checked on them every two days.
I also gave the doorman, Ah Jin, some training on reception etiquette, and we checked accounts with Uncle Dong every two weeks.
As expected, a surge of people arrived in September.
Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, and everyone worked in an orderly manner.
Looking at the daily profits, Mu Huaisheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He sighed inwardly:
No wonder there are so many gold shops these days.
Starting September 10th, the display case began to limit the length of time it would receive visitors.
Since everyone there was a lady or young woman, the shop assistant was very polite in reminding them of the rules.
There were ladies and young women waiting in line behind them.
No other place has ever seen such a scene.
Gradually, it gained some small fame.
With such a small size, the other jewelry shops on this prestigious street didn't even consider this small workshop a threat.
There is another important reason:
There are no top-quality products!
We made some small, high-quality items for the market, but the quantity was really small.
High-end goods have extremely high requirements for style and decorative materials.
No capital! How hateful!
Fortunately, Mu Huaisheng analyzed the market:
If you don't have the means to buy those top-tier jewelry pieces right now, don't try to force it.
But at the upcoming autumn banquet, the ladies and gentlemen invested in themselves to look beautiful.
The price is a bit higher than the regular price, but they're willing to pay that much.
They quietly made quite a few ordinary high-end goods with novel and attractive designs.
Sure enough, the customer traffic was much higher than other stores.
Although there are many people, the customers are buying ordinary and attractive items, which big stores don't care about.
But in the end, I still made a lot of money, with a principal of three thousand and a profit of five thousand.
For example, four pieces of raw gold are usually processed and sold for seven or nine pieces.
Mu Huaisheng's designs are quite novel, and they sell for nine or eleven yuan.
Because there are so many people queuing up, there's no bargaining.
They are all small items, and although the unit price is high, everyone can afford them.
Later, some wealthy women found out and had their head maids line up to buy one of each new style.
It looks good whether paired with top-tier jewelry or worn casually.
The key issue is that nobody knows the boss.
If you want to buy something, you have to queue up, buy it, and then pay.
Everyone noticed that regardless of rank, the maids had to wait in line.
This move further enhanced its reputation.
On October 1st, Mu Huaisheng gave everyone half a month's bonus, and everyone was all smiles.
Huai Sheng wanted to hire a couple more people, so he asked Aunt Wu:
"Do you know any reliable aunties?"
"I can sign a contract of servitude. I'll introduce someone to cook lunch for everyone, and they'll clean with you regularly."
Aunt Wu now only cleans the first floor and does laundry, and her wages have even increased.
For the first time in my life, I received a bonus outside of the Lunar New Year holiday, and I'm full of fighting spirit.
When she heard that someone was needed to come and share the cleaning work with her, she immediately wilted.
Seeing this, Mu Huaisheng understood perfectly and laughed:
"Aunt Wu, your wages will remain the same, and the person you introduce will receive the same wages as before."
"All I need is to be as diligent as you, do my work cleanly, and be an honest and upright person."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wu's mood immediately brightened, and after a moment's thought:
“Master, there really is one, Widow Wang from my neighborhood.”
She married two men, and both men died as a result. She was kicked out by both men's families.
The woman who gave birth to a girl was also kicked out.
She lived in a dilapidated temple in our area, relying on the charity of some people to give her some work.
When I went back recently, I heard from my neighbors that their child was also dying.
When she works in other people's homes, no one is as diligent and capable as her.
Because of her situation, no one wanted to hire her.
She's usually a very nice person.
I slipped and fell while doing laundry before, and she helped me back and even washed my clothes for me.
I'm doing alright, and occasionally I'll send her a few extra steamed buns or something.
If the employer is willing to hire her, I'm willing to vouch for her.
"Yes, bring her to meet me."
"Okay! Okay! Thank you so much for your great kindness, boss!"
I'll tell her when I get home today, and I'll bring it over tomorrow!
After finishing his business at the Marquis's residence, Mu Huaisheng lay in bed that night and thought:
Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm going at noon!
When Huaisheng arrived at the shop the next day, not only was the shop clean, but the entrance was also clean.
When Aunt Wu saw Mu Huaisheng, she quickly called over the woman who was wiping the counter next to her.
Mu Huaisheng sat down and asked about the basic situation, which was roughly the same as what Aunt Wu had said.
A 28-year-old woman with a four-year-old daughter, Mu Huaisheng said:
"The indenture is a dead contract; I'll give you ten taels of silver."
Together with Aunt Wu, I was responsible for cleaning and sweeping, earning 600 cash a month, temporarily working on the first floor and the entrance.
There will be a second floor in a few days, where I'll cook a simple lunch.
If you agree, we'll sign this contract of servitude today.
Upon hearing this, the woman burst into tears, repeatedly saying, "I'm willing, I'm willing!"
“You can bring your child over. If there is no place to stay, there is a room in the outbuilding next to the warehouse at the back.”
Go get a key from Uncle Dong, tidy up a bit, and also clean up the kitchen. I'll start cooking tomorrow.
Every morning, I would go to Uncle Dong's place to get money to buy groceries, and return home with any remaining money to settle accounts.
For lunch, I alternate between steamed buns made with wheat flour, cornmeal, and dark flour, and also stir-fry a mixed vegetable dish, along with a vegetarian soup.
Or you could have noodle soup or something similar, and your child can eat it too.
Just make sure everyone eats their fill, but don't waste food!
Upon hearing this, Lady Wang readily agreed.
Mu Huaisheng immediately had Uncle Dong draw up a contract of servitude.
Uncle Dong thought for a moment, then pulled Mu Huaisheng aside:
"Master, this woman has cursed two men to death. Buy her for ten taels of silver."
Shouldn't we be more cautious?
Mu Huaisheng knew that Uncle Dong meant well, so he nodded to Uncle Dong to indicate that he understood his good intentions.
There were few people in the shop at noon, so I called everyone over:
"Starting tomorrow, Madam Wang will be working. Everyone will no longer need to bring their own meals; the shop will provide simple meals."
And if even one of the jewelry designs from the store gets out, they'll break your legs and sell it off!
They are all my servants, Mu Huaisheng's servants. They work hard every day, and I will certainly not mistreat them!
If you harbor any other thoughts, don't blame me for being ruthless!
I run a gold and silver jewelry shop, and my main selling point is that people are tough and unafraid of any evil spirits.
Please call her Lady Wang, just like I do.
If anyone tries to act arrogantly just because they are old, don't blame me for being impolite!
By the way, after this busy month is over, I'll give everyone a free medical check-up.
That's all for today, understand?
Of course, everyone signed a contract selling themselves to me.
I believe you all know how I've treated you over the past few months.
From now on, things will only get better as long as we work together.
If you think you can fool me, feel free to try!
Over the past few months, everyone has watched the store change step by step, and they all know that Mu Huaisheng is young but capable.
The key is that they are quick and generous with their money, and everyone thinks there's nothing better than that.
After hearing these words, Uncle Dong was truly convinced of his new employer's abilities this time.
After the knocking, Mu Huaisheng went to the Marquis's residence to work in the afternoon.
