Chapter 326: Once thought to be ordinary
Cui Xiuyuan asked, "Wang Yanjun is interested in our store model, so he wants to open a store in Baizhuang?"
Cui Changjia nodded, "I think so."
"If that's the case, if there's a suitable place in the state capital, we can open another one."
Cui Changjia smiled and gave Cui Xiuyuan a thumbs up. In fact, this was her next plan. The state capital had newly planned a state capital west high-speed railway station area, and construction should be started soon. She wanted to gain an advantage there.
However, as it stands now, we can plan another store before opening the store at the West Station of the state capital.
Cui Changjia said jokingly, "Brother, this will put more financial pressure on you. Isn't it a headache?"
Cui Xiuyuan smiled, "By then there will be no pressure on land and construction. I think it will be easier than opening our first store."
In other words, it will get easier!
Cui Wenquan looked at his daughter and then at his son. He became more and more satisfied. He really didn't have to worry about anything anymore and could just concentrate on making his furniture!
Although Cui Xiuyuan had turned off his phone and ignored the trade fair, many people still looked for him for several consecutive days. Some called the factory, while others came to the factory to look for him. Without exception, they all said that Cui Xiuyuan and Cui Wenquan were not there.
Chang Yuanliang really went on a business trip and didn't care about the trade fair at all.
No one called in the next few days, and then Cui Changjia knew what was going on.
The Furniture Association later issued a notice, meaning that the Furniture Association was preparing to build a large-scale comprehensive home furnishing store. The membership fee from this trade fair could be used as an investment in the furniture store or to offset the booth fees of the furniture store. At that time, everyone would be allowed to choose one of the two.
I have to say, Qu Qingyang is very good at making big promises.
A home furnishing store cannot be built just like that. Not only does it need to be approved by government departments, but the discussion alone takes a long time, unless special approval is granted.
From "talking" to "building", it would be great to see progress in more than half a year.
The notice was faxed over, and Cui Changjia saw it. Looking at the notice without even an official seal on it, she just thought for a moment, "Why is there no seal?" and then ignored it.
Cui Changjia was not optimistic about the trade fair and didn't take it seriously. She told Cui Chengze all the plans and asked him to coordinate with Meng Xiaoye to deal with them. She just had to make the final decision.
Before the trade fair, the Cui family’s factory moved once.
The construction of the factory was carried out in two parts. First, the canteen and dormitory in the back were built. When these two sides were usable, the offices and dormitories of the original cotton station in the front were demolished and the office building was built.
The cafeteria has been in use for a long time, with meals on the first floor and the second floor used as a cultural room.
The dormitory building was not decorated much, just simple floors and walls. The doors and windows were left open for a few days to dry the air, so there was no smell inside.
The beds, tables, chairs, benches, etc. used by the employees are all old. Cabinets and other things can be added later. There is no rush for that. The main thing is to buy them slowly.
Cui Wenquan knew that these workers were very sloppy when working outside, so he asked Yao Junhua to purchase a batch of new bedding and sheets and distribute them to everyone for their use.
The employees had been making do with it for so many days, and they were very happy to see that the dormitory building could be used.
Yao Junhua had already understood the employees' wishes and allocated dormitories. Everyone could just move in according to their chosen room or the assigned one.
The dormitory building has three floors, with sixteen rooms on each floor. The corridor is divided into male and female dormitories by a partition wall in the middle.
There were many male comrades in the factory, and even one floor of the girls' dormitory could not be fully utilized, so the office was placed on the first floor of the girls' dormitory building, and everyone in the Cui family moved to the third floor.
The employees had to move to dormitories and offices, so the factory simply stopped production for a holiday to allow everyone to settle down in their lives first.
In the factory that day, everyone helped me move things and I helped you carry things. Everyone was united and it was very lively.
Cui Changjia's promise to Yao Junhua that he would arrange a separate room for her once the dormitory building was ready for living also became a reality.
Cui Changjia finally had her own room. After wandering for several months, she finally didn't have to live in the office of Hengmao International. Now it was cold at night, and she felt cold under her body when she slept on the floor.
The room was new, but it still had the old furniture from the dormitory Cui Changjia had lived in before. She placed the everlasting rose Zhou Qingyan had given her on the table. When she opened the door, she could see the flower.
Cui Changjia took a photo and sent it to Zhou Qingyan.
In the evening, Zhou Qingyan called Cui Changjia and told her that the room was too simple and he wanted to buy her some furniture.
Cui Changjia was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Did Zhou Qingyan forget what her family did?
Cui Changjia didn’t care how simple it was. What mattered more was that the whole family could settle down together in comfort, which was better than anything else.
On the first night living in the dormitory, Cui Changjia stayed in his parents' room until it was time to go to bed before going back. They used the largest room, which was about 40 square meters.
The furniture inside was arranged for them by Zhang Fengming and his people.
Zhang Fengming said that everyone can make do except Mr. Cui.
The room is fully equipped with a bed, wardrobe, sofa and coffee table.
Not only did Cui Changjia stay at his parents' house until it was time to go to bed before going back, but even Cui Xiuyuan and Cui Chengze stayed until very late before leaving.
Several of them gathered around the coffee table, drinking tea, chatting, and watching Xiaobao jumping on the 1.80-meter-high bed. They used to think of it as an ordinary day, but now it appeared again, and everyone felt that they cherished it even more.
The trade fair will be held on November 22nd.
Qu Qingyang said before that the advertising efforts for this trade fair would be huge, and that they planned to spend 500,000 yuan on advertising. However, Cui Changjia felt that the amount was not that big, and was even less than the advertising efforts of their furniture store.
In private they still joked about this, saying that they spent 500,000 on advertising, but in the end the effect of 50,000 was not even that of the original.
The trade fair gave two days for entrance preparation, and Cui Changjia and his team had already planned it, so it wasn't difficult.
She went there to check out the venue in advance and found that the trade fair was not well organized. There were no clear boundaries between the booths, and it was entirely up to self-consciousness. In other words, whoever arrived early would benefit, or whoever was more capable would benefit.
Never mind. Cui Changjia didn’t expect this trade fair to do very well. He just hoped to get through it and distribute some flyers to promote their own furniture store.
Cui Changjia and her colleagues' booth was close to the passage to the bathroom. She was afraid of the smell, so she bought some air freshener and asked the staff at her booth to spray it every half an hour.
Free tea is provided at the stalls, including black tea, green tea, hot coffee, hot juice, as well as free snacks such as popcorn and small rice crackers. These are supplied in unlimited quantities, but you are only allowed to eat them on site and are not allowed to take them away.
Cui Changjia found a cleaning lady, paid her fifty yuan a day, and asked her to put a large trash can behind her stall. If there was trash on the stall, she would help clean it up in time.
The cleaning lady was very happy, this is pure profit!
Their stall was only about 180 square meters, and the amount of furniture that could be transported in this area was limited. The items Cui Changjia and his colleagues selected were all representative. There was a small merchant next door who looked at Cui Changjia's furniture, then at his own furniture, and shook his head.
Fortunately, the positioning is different, and Cui Changjia and his shop’s furniture are priced higher than those next door, otherwise the owner of that small shop would be crying.
Even so, the owner of the stall still complained to Cui Changjia, "Boss Cui, why are you setting up this stall?"
Cui Changjia joked with him, "Our family can't afford the stall fee."
"Boss Cui, how much money do you plan to invest this time?"
Cui Changjia was puzzled, "How much money do you want to invest?"
