Chapter 1810 - 1812: Four Seasons Department Store Grand Opening
February 15th, everything comes back to life, spring is in full swing.
The Yang Family all gathered at the Century Department Store in the County because today is the opening day of Four Seasons Department Store.
Yang Dong was dressed in a deep blue robe, looking sharp and distinguished, with defined features, dark eyes, thick brows, thin lips, and a high nose bridge—indeed, quite a handsome appearance.
He stood at the entrance of the Four Seasons Department Store, greeting the passing people, his eloquent demeanor completely different from his usual self.
"Shopkeeper Yang, congratulations, congratulations."
"Shopkeeper Yang, may your business thrive."
"Shopkeeper Yang, congratulations, congratulations, may wealth flow in endlessly."
"..."
"..."
Most of the people coming to congratulate him were the neighboring shop owners. Xiaoxiao didn’t even know when Yang Dong got so well-acquainted with these people. But indeed, it’s essential to build good relationships when doing business. You can’t just shut the door and only do your own thing.
Besides these people, the Chu Family, the Zhong Family, and the Li Family also came.
Everyone chatted warmly at the entrance for a while. With the sound of firecrackers, Four Seasons Department Store officially opened.
Customers gradually entered the store in succession.
With such a big commotion outside Four Seasons Department Store, passersby also knew it was the opening of a shop. Even if they didn’t buy anything, they came to join the excitement and take a look.
Once inside, seeing a dazzling array of goods, they were reluctant to leave. Some items they had never even seen before.
"What is this thing?"
"Is this something to eat?"
"What is this used for?"
"How much does this cost?"
"..."
"..."
The sound of customers’ inquiries echoed from time to time in Four Seasons Department Store because the items were truly novel.
The Yang Family was also extremely busy, with some taking payments, some weighing goods, and some explaining to customers.
Everyone was all smiles, not expecting Yang Dong could actually open the store.
Seeing such a scene, a smile played at the corners of Yang Dong’s mouth. He seemed to gain confidence, feeling like perhaps he could match up to Li Chuntao. But that was only a little, because he knew that Li Chuntao was expanding the academy, and he still had a long way to go.
Busy for the entire day, it finally reached evening, and Four Seasons Department Store closed.
The family was inside the shop, organizing merchandise, replenishing sold-out goods.
Over there, they were counting the Silver earned for the day.
The wife of the second son spoke up, "Third sister-in-law, how much did we sell?"
Xiaoxiao was still counting, as there were simply too many copper coins. She finally counted it out, "A total of 88 taels 346 copper coins."
"What? That much?"
Everyone was shocked by this number. How could such a store sell so much?
Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes."
"Goodness, then how much would that be for a month? Oh, I can’t calculate it."
At this moment, Yang Guangguang spoke, "Second Aunt, it’s more than two thousand taels."
"What? Then we’ll earn back the money for that mountain in a month." The wife of the second son could hardly believe it.
Xiaoxiao smiled, "Second sister-in-law, you’re overthinking it. This is just the opening, everyone is seeking novelty. There’s no way we can sell this much every day. Once it stabilizes, we should be able to sell a few hundred taels a month, and there’s the cost of goods in there too. After deducting the cost, I think we should earn at least one or two hundred taels."
"One or two hundred taels? Third sister-in-law, wouldn’t that mean we’ll earn back the money for buying this store in a month?"
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, indeed so. Although the goods left in this store initially weren’t much, most were later added by Yang Dong, but just the courtyard alone was a great advantage for Yang Dong.
