Chapter 448 Uncle Zhang's Store
"Where is Uncle Zhang?" Sun Dahai asked.
"My dad is on the second floor and is repairing a radio." Zhang Yujie replied.
The second floor of Yuanwang Electrical Appliances Store is a maintenance room, where Uncle Zhang and his two apprentices usually carry out electrical work.
The third floor is a warehouse and dormitory, where his two apprentices live every day.
Zhang Guihua is his niece and lives with her every day. Grandma Zhang passed away last year. Now the Zhang family has four people living in a 220-square-meter five-bedroom and two-living room apartment, which is more than enough.
In two months, Zhang Guozheng went to Xiangjiang and Zhang Yujie lived in the school. I wonder if his family would feel deserted.
It's summer now, and in just a moment, two electric fans have been sold in the store. The electric fans produced by the joint venture are not as big as domestic products, and plastic parts have replaced many metal parts, which look both light and beautiful.
Sun Dahai came to the second floor and saw an old-fashioned radio on a workbench. The back cover had been taken apart, and Uncle Zhang's two apprentices were holding magnifying glasses to compare the circuit diagram.
Uncle Zhang was testing with a multimeter, and the soldering iron was placed aside, and a faint rosy smell appeared and disappeared in the room.
"It should be no problem." Uncle Zhang said, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Sun Dahai.
"Dahai, why are you free to come here?"
Uncle Zhang was very enthusiastic about Sun Dahai. When Grandma Zhang was alive, she always said that he was better with Sun Dahai than Zhang Guozheng.
There are two small houses on the second floor, with a large room in the middle, with several workbenches, and a nine-inch black and white TV on it. This is their workshop for repairing electrical appliances, which is a little messy.
This was the first time Sun Dahai came after the store was laid out. When he was choosing a place, the podium in the second phase had just been completed, and it was just a rough house. Unlike now, it has been laid out.
Uncle Zhang’s two apprentices, Sun Dahai, had never seen each other before, and he met him after introduction. The two were only about twenty years old and looked more honest.
Their fathers are both from the factory, and the factory takes care of old employees and gives them the indicators for the two temporary workers.
Everyone knows that Uncle Zhang has a good character and high technical level, so his family asked Uncle Zhang to make them his disciples.
The news of Uncle Zhang resigning and going into business came out, and the two families also considered it over and over again. It was better to choose to believe Uncle Zhang, so that they also gave up their status as temporary workers and went into business with Uncle Zhang.
In fact, Uncle Zhang also has an apprentice in the factory, and that apprentice finally chose to stay in the factory. Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force it. But Sun Dahai can guarantee that the two people who regret it in the end will never be the ones in front of him.
After chatting for a while, Sun Dahai ran to the third floor with great interest and took a look. Overall, as a small electrical appliance store, this place is quite good.
Sun Dahai chatted with them for a while and told them how to run this small store. Electrical repair is just an accompanying service, and electrical appliance sales are what everyone should pay attention to.
Sun Dahai pointed to the newly repaired radio and asked, "Uncle Zhang, how long did it take for you to repair this radio and how much did it cost?"
Uncle Zhang said embarrassedly: "The work I received yesterday afternoon had several components broken. In the morning, I asked Xiao Li to go to the electronic components store in the city and bought it. It took an hour just now.
The component costs 60 cents, and I am going to charge one dollar for repair.”
Sun Dahai shook his head when he heard this, and he said, "Uncle Zhang, this is not possible. You have not spread the labor costs and store rent yet. If you count them all, you will have to charge at least 50 yuan."
Uncle Zhang shook his head quickly and said, "How is that happening? A new radio is only sold for more than ten yuan in the store. If you repair an old radio, let alone five or ten yuan, you may not even charge two yuan. "
Sun Dahai said, "Yes, so I said, don't take maintenance as the focus. I just stayed on the first floor for less than half an hour and sold two electric fans. Do you think, is it more profitable than the old electrical appliances you worked hard to repair for half a day?"
Uncle Zhang was a little hesitant, and he said, "Dahai, you know that if I want to repair electrical appliances, I can't open my mouth if I sell things."
His two apprentices nodded involuntarily.
Sun Dahai said: "You know technology and know how to repair it, of course it's good. What I mean is that you will mainly repair the appliances sold in the store in the future, which are considered after-sales service. As for ordinary old appliances, such a business is thankless, I think it's okay."
Xiao Li also said, "Yes, master. This morning, I went to the city to buy a few components. The repair fee we collected is not enough for half a day's salary."
"Yes, in the future, you will only be responsible for the repair of electrical appliances sold in the store. Finding manufacturers to find vulnerable parts, which will save trouble when repairing them." Sun Dahai struck while the iron was hot and continued to mobilize.
Uncle Zhang looked at Sun Dahai, then looked at two apprentices, and then made up his mind and said, "Okay. After the old appliances in his hand are repaired, let's focus on studying the circuit diagrams of the appliances downstairs. This is also good, so as not to explain to the customer when the components are not available."
The two apprentices were also very happy. This way, their work would be much easier, and they would no longer have to hold a magnifying glass to check the circuit diagram and component numbers all day long.
"Dahai, have you finished speaking, let's go now."
Zhang Yujie ran upstairs to find Sun Dahai. Just now, Sun Dahai agreed to invite the brother and sister to dinner.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, then I'll leave first."
"Dad, let's go out for dinner, don't worry about us." Zhang Yujie pulled Sun Dahai and happily went downstairs.
Uncle Zhang’s shop starts to open at 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. There is a kitchen on the third floor, and they cook by themselves.
Zhang Yujie and his sister are on vacation. They are helping in the store these days and are here to eat with them. If they don’t say hello, they should have too much supper.
Sun Dahai and the others went to have Western food. In fact, the fast food with quiet time is a combination of Chinese and Western food, but Zhang Yujie said it was Western food, so who would refute her?
In fact, among the four people, Zhang Yujie likes to eat delicious food until the years are quiet, and she has a pretty bourgeois style. The others are all big-bellied men, and they are only satisfied with eating hot pot.
I don’t know where Zhang Yujie heard it. Eating mutton can easily cause inflammation and acne will appear on her face, so she insists on going through the years and getting quiet.
A few years have passed in a flash, and Zhang Yujie is already thirteen years old, and she is considered a girl. In the past two years, she has also become more beautiful and no longer careless and confused like she was when she was a child.
If you want to go, just go, and Sun Dahai had no choice but to do anything to her. Her brother Zhang Guozheng even consciously closed his mouth early on. He didn't count when he said where to eat, so he was too lazy to spend his brain.
