November 10th.
It was the day before Singles' Day.
After more than a month of intense work and preparation, Forever Jewellery Store had its grand opening.
It was around ten in the morning.
Two rows of flower baskets had been placed at the entrance of the store.
Bright red stalls extended from the store to the sidewalk by the road.
The temporary employees hired from the celebration planning company stood in two rows in cheongsams. They held the back of their hands and showed their most beautiful smiles. When passers-by came, they said in unison, "Welcome ~!"
The female employees in khaki suits and the security guards in black suits in the jewelry store were all in high spirits. They were in their best state of mind.
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The jewelry store invited a female leader from the Industry and Commerce Bureau. She held a pair of scissors and cut the ribbon, which symbolized "a source of wealth."
Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle ~ The sound of firecrackers was played from the sound system.
The waitress in cheongsams, the employees, and the guests at the opening event shouted at the same time, "Forever Jewellery Store is open for business!"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh ~"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Fireworks were released at the same time. Countless ribbons fell from the sky like a rain of flowers.
The atmosphere became lively and lively.
It attracted a large number of passers-by to stop and watch.
Clang, clang ~ Two bronze gongs symbolizing the opening of the store were sounded.
The door of the jewelry store opened.
The waitress in cheongsams and some of the store's employees walked to the onlookers with flyers in their hands. They said as they handed out the flyers.
"Go in and take a look. There is a free lucky draw in the store. Everyone has a free lucky draw chance!"
"Gold and silver jewelry special price, all special price! The discount is 10% off, and some are 15% off. Every gram of gold is more than 30% cheaper! "
"The first 100 customers will get a 20% discount!"
"Special price for small gold bricks is 288 yuan per gram, the lowest price in Shang Hai City! Customers with investment needs come in to understand. "
"An unprecedented discount. Don't miss it!"
Among the onlookers, some people's eyes lit up.
"Free lucky draw? Go in and try your luck! "
"10% off gold and silver? That's a good discount. "
"My son is getting married at the end of the year. If the price is right, I'll buy some gold jewelry!"
Many passers-by moved their feet and walked into the store.
Seeing that the jewelry store was so lively, other passers-by saw it. Driven by the mentality of the Chinese people, more and more people entered the store …
The flow of customers was guaranteed.
The opening of Forever Jewels could be said to have made a good start!
…
Chen Jin's parents, on the other hand, were in a state of extreme shock.
Especially his mother, He Li, whose face was filled with astonishment. Her expression was sluggish, and her mouth was slightly agape. Her eyes were filled with shock!
She originally thought that her son Chen Jin's shop would be a small gold shop with an investment of a few hundred thousand and a business area of 20 to 30 square meters. Therefore, she did not pay too much attention to it and allowed Chen Jin to make a small fuss.
In the end, he came to take a look.
This wasn't a small matter, this was clearly a super big move!
She, who had been an accountant for decades, began to think quickly.
A 300-square-meter shop on a bustling commercial street would cost at least 3.5 million!
The store was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry from the first and second floors. These goods were worth at least tens of millions!
In addition to the other expenses, without 15 million yuan, this jewelry store would definitely not be able to open!
A huge question mark immediately appeared in his mind.
Where did all that money come from?
Where did his son get so much money?
Then, she saw Chen Jin standing in the middle of the lobby, entertaining customers and directing staff. That calm and composed, without any stage fright, he had the image of a general. For a moment, He Li felt that her son was a little unfamiliar.
"It seems that he … is much more mature than before."
She temporarily buried the doubts in her heart and waited for her son to finish his work.
At this moment.
Under Chen Jin's personal reception, the first customer at the cashier counter was Dong Lei, the female leader of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, who had spent $8,500 on a 328 gram gold necklace. Wearing the necklace she had just bought, she walked up to He Hi and said, "Director He, look, isn't it beautiful?"
"Other jewelry stores may cost tens of thousands, but this only cost 8,500. Director He, I cut the ribbon for the shop today, this isn't called corruption, right?"
Dong Lei said with a smile.
"No, no, this is called serving the people wholeheartedly. You are a good leader," He Li said with a smile. She could not help but praise, "The gold necklace is very beautiful, you have good taste!"
Dong Lei also looked at the busy Chen Jin, her eyes filled with admiration. "Director He, your son is indeed not bad, he looks like he is going to do great things. Does my daughter, Lin Lin, have any misunderstandings about him? This young man is not bad in any way. "
He Li immediately said with a bitter smile, "It's not your daughter who misunderstood him, it's this young man who is playing mind games with me!"
She explained in detail the specific reason why her son Chen Jin and her daughter Yuan Lin failed in their blind date.
Dong Lei was stunned for a moment, then she held her stomach and laughed. "Interesting, interesting, Director He, your son is really interesting! Hahahahaha ~! "
"This is interesting? Even I want to slap him with my palm! I missed such a good girl! "He Li gritted her teeth in anger.
"Young people these days are all like this, busy with entertainment, traveling, relaxing, but not in a hurry to get married. Your son is fine, at least he is busy with his career …"
Dong Lei praised and looked at Chen Jin again. She changed her tone and said, "Speaking of missed opportunities, I feel that you can't be so sure. My daughter still doesn't understand your son's real situation."
He Li's eyes lit up. She turned to look at her and said, "Director Dong, do you mean that my son and your daughter Lin Lin still have a chance?"
Dong Lei nodded. "Yes, with the conditions of both our families, we should create another chance for them!"
He Li was overjoyed. "Director Dong, I think so too!"
…
Due to the large number of customers.
The jewelry store was busy until 10 pm.
It was finally a lot more relaxing.
Most people, including the owner Chen Jin, did not eat lunch, only nibbling on some bread.
Only when his mother, He Li, ordered a table of food from a nearby five-star hotel for supper did everyone eat a mouthful of hot food.
The first day's turnover was basically confirmed.
The cashier, Fan Chenxi, said excitedly, "The store's turnover reached 10.17 million, the first day's sales exceeded 10 million!"
"Good! Not bad! "The store manager, Chiu Wan-Ting, cheered loudly." We have a good start! "
"Tomorrow is Singles' Day, the sales should be higher, breaking 15 million shouldn't be a problem!"
"We will definitely be busier tomorrow, some of the gold jewelry is almost out of stock."
Chiu Wan-Ting said that she would call the manufacturer later to restock the store.
"There are really too many rich people in Shang Hai City," Guo Yan lamented.
The impact she received today was huge. She was shocked by the spending power of the nouveau riche. For example, this morning, there was a low-key, plain-looking customer who bought 100 investment gold bricks in one go. He did not even bat an eyelid when he swiped his credit card.
One had to know that the 50g gold bullion, even with the discounted price of 288 yuan per gram, would still cost 14,000 yuan per piece. 100 pieces would be 1,440,000 yuan, but he bought them calmly and casually, as if he had spent 5 yuan or 10 yuan per piece.
There were also a few other nouveau riche customers who contributed millions of yuan in sales.
Chen Jin nodded satisfactorily. If this trend continued, he estimated that in a few days, he would enter the ranks of the billionaires with cash on hand.
Therefore, he repeatedly raised his glass to express his gratitude to everyone for their hard work, and encouraged them to continue working hard. If the first month's sales were good, he would give everyone at least a red packet of 10,000 yuan next month, and their treatment would also be improved!
"Thank you, Boss!"
"Long live Boss!"
"Cheers for us to achieve another good result!"
The employees were very excited. Not only could the young boss do things himself, but he was also easy-going and generous! They all felt that they had a good boss and were determined to work hard. Every one of them was full of enthusiasm.
…
On the way home.
He Li, who was driving, turned her head and asked Chen Jin, "Son, where did you get the money to open the jewelry store?"
"A friend borrowed it. Mom, didn't I tell you before?"
"Which friend borrowed it? Son, you should know that I'm a cadre in the government. You must never accept money from an unknown source! "
He Li was worried that some business owners might be setting a trap for her son. As the chief accountant of the tax bureau, she was in charge of the accounts and tax records of many companies and enterprises. Although her position was small, it was very important!
"Mom, I'm not an idiot. Do you think I'll do the things that you've told me so many times? I can cheat anyone, but will I cheat my own mother? "
Chen Jin repeatedly assured her that the money was lent to him by a friend, but he kept the identity of the person a secret. Gradually, He Li's doubts were dispelled.
Only then did she stop asking.
Thinking of something, He Li asked again, "Son, do you have a professional accountant in the store?"
"No, but I found an accountant in name. Sister Gu Yaqing, who has experience in finance, is in charge of the store's finances."
"Son, you've opened such a big jewelry store. The turnover on the first day of business exceeded 10 million. This is not a small business. You can't leave the finances to others. How about this? I'll take two days off every week to manage the finances. I'll personally check for you!"
As someone who had looked through countless reports and managed countless financial affairs, He Li did not believe that there was anything fishy that could escape her sharp eyes.
A mere jewelry store did not even need to take up her two days off every week.
"This …"
Chen Jin muttered to himself and was slightly hesitant.
"Son, isn't it better for me to check for you than an outsider? I'm not even receiving your salary. "Chen Jin's hesitation made He Li a little unhappy.
"Okay, okay, okay. Mom, I'll leave the finances of the store to you. I'm just afraid that I'll affect your rest."
"Silly boy, why are you being so polite with me?"
