Lan Xinya is not interested in the counter business.

She felt that her father was fine with the family business, and she didn't want to get involved at all.

Lan Weicheng could probably see what his child was thinking, so he didn't force it.

This time Lan Shu went home to live. He just mentioned it to Lan Shu and got Lan Shu's consent.

Lan Weicheng was very happy, and even had the idea that his business would finally have a successor.

So the next day, after Lan Weicheng had breakfast at home, he got on his bicycle and took his daughter with him to the counter of Huaxia Shopping Mall, where his family does business.

The Landmark Shopping Mall is located some distance away from the Lan family. After more than 20 minutes, the father and daughter arrived at the Landmark Shopping Mall, which is the best and most famous in Kyoto.

Unlike the clothing mall where several buildings are all selling clothing, the mall here does not cover an area that large. A six-story building of nearly a thousand square meters, both in appearance and decoration, is much better than that of the clothing mall.

It looks much more upscale.

In the six-story building, different types of things are sold on each floor.

The first floor is divided into the east area and the west area. One side sells a variety of desktop, hanging, ceiling electric fans, electric baking fans and other small appliances, while the other side sells bicycles and televisions.

The second floor has the same section, selling things like washing machines, refrigerators, radios, tapes, and stereos.

Half of the third floor sells various watches, as well as face cream, eyebrow pencil, rouge, and lipstick for women, and the other half sells leather shoes.

On the third floor and above, because the floors are too high and there is little traffic, they basically sell relatively cheap household goods, such as pots and pans, tables, chairs, benches, brooms, dustpans and the like.

Lan Weicheng has six counters in the mall, one on the first floor selling electric fans, and two on the second floor selling radios, tapes, and stereos.

There is also a counter on the third floor for buying watches, and the last two counters sell leather shoes.

Lan Shu followed Lan Weicheng around the second and third floors and found that in his business area, his customers were mainly men.

This doesn’t work~!

Lan Shu knows one thing very well, no matter what time, women's money will be the best to earn!

Therefore, 80% of her clothing factory is women's clothing. Men's clothing has few styles and quantities, and is only sold as a match.

After learning about the monthly income of several counters, Lan Shu made a rough calculation in her mind.

After deducting the capital from the counter income, and then deducting the counter rent and the few employees employed to sell goods at the counter, the income can be about 3,000 to 4,000 per month, and it will be a little more during the Chinese New Year.

But even so, Lan Shu feels that Lan Weicheng's business can do better!

"Dad, didn't you say you wanted to add a counter before? What do you plan to sell?" Lan Shu asked.

Lan Weicheng has already thought about this issue for a long time.

"Although the most profitable items are large items such as televisions, washing machines, and refrigerators, the supply of goods for these businesses in Kyoto is basically in the hands of Gu Cheng. It is too difficult for outsiders to do it. With the current relationship between our family and Gu Cheng,

I won't consider it."

Lan Weicheng said, sighed, and then continued, "So I plan to stick to my old business. Among the several counters in our house, the tape business is good, and I plan to add another counter."

After speaking, Lan Weicheng hesitated a little and expressed other ideas.

"Although our watch business is quite good, the cost and price are too high. One counter is enough, so maybe we can add another leather shoe counter."

Hearing Lan Weicheng's thoughts, Lan Shu shook her head slightly, "Dad, have you ever considered setting up a cosmetics counter? Those creams, eyebrow pencils, lipsticks and the like have low costs and high profits, so you don't have to worry about selling them."

As soon as Lan Shu finished speaking, she heard Lan Weicheng's slightly surprised reply, "I am a male boss selling women's things..."

"So what's the matter? As long as you can make money, there is no distinction between men and women in business." Lan Shu said.

Lan Weicheng thought about it and found that this was indeed the case.

"Then..." He just raised his head with slight hesitation when he heard his daughter say.

"Dad, if you really want to add a counter, add a cosmetics counter, and the salesperson must be good-looking, have good skin, and know how to put on makeup."

"Wearing beautiful makeup and selling goods every day will definitely attract many female customers to buy cosmetics."

After saying that, Lan Shu added, "The salary for such a beautiful teller is slightly higher than the normal salary. On the day of work, we will give her a set of cosmetics and let her put on makeup every day. I believe it is not difficult to recruit people."

His daughter had already given him an idea, and Lan Weicheng heard it and thought it was a good idea.

so……

"Then let's do it! We won't increase the number of leather shoe counters for the time being. Next, we will sell cosmetics!" Lan Weicheng officially decided.

Lan Shu nodded, and then had some thoughts about Lan Weicheng's decision to open a tape counter.

"Dad, if you want to sell tapes well, you must use matching speakers, but the speakers are too big and expensive. Not many families use speakers now. If you want to sell more tapes, you must have

A lightweight and affordable music listening device.”

Lan Shu thought of the Walkman, a small playback device that can insert tapes and play songs.

There is a buckle installed on this device, which can be stuck on the belt around the waist and play the contents of the tape anytime and anywhere, so it is called a Walkman.

Although Lan Shu was not born in the 1980s, she had read books on the history of modern domestic development when she was in school.

It is written above that the Walkman was launched in the 1980s, but it was actually first produced between 1979 and 1980.

In other words, the Walkman was invented about a year ago, but for some unknown reason, it has not been put on sale.

At least I haven't heard of such a thing in China.

This year is already 1981. I think that even if the Walkman is released later than the production time, it is almost time to appear.

Lan Shu felt that Lan Weicheng was selling stereos and tapes, so he should be able to get information about the Walkman.

That's why Lan Shu suggested, "Dad, have you heard about this small device that plays tapes?"

Lan Weicheng frowned slightly when he heard this.

After what his daughter said, he remembered that he had indeed heard of such a thing. Where had he heard it?

"By the way! Someone came to my counter before and said that they can make a tape playing device called a Walkman. It is a small device that can be hung on the body to listen to tapes."

Lan Weicheng recalled.

"The other party asked me if I was interested. If I wanted it, I would have to pay 3,000 yuan first, and they would give me 60 small tape players in two months. I thought they were empty-handed liars and drove them away.

."

Three thousand yuan for sixty units, one unit equals fifty yuan, so the price is not expensive.

But listening to what Lan Weicheng said about the other party, it seems that the other party doesn't have that many Walkmans in hand and needs money to produce them?

if it is like this……

"Dad, do you have their contact information?" Lan Shu asked.
