Su Xiaotian wanted to follow the three of them.
But all three refused to accompany her for the exam.
Su Xiaotian had to give up the idea.
Since Seventh Middle School was also an examination site, Su Xiaotian and the others had a holiday at home.
Worried about her brothers taking the exam, she couldn't concentrate on her studies and decided to go out for a walk.
Su Xiaotian remembered that Su Xiaosi had mentioned a few days ago that he had already tidied up the two-story shop and stocked the goods, waiting for an auspicious day to open.
So, she went to see the shop with Su Xiaomei.
The layout of the two-story shop was actually conceived by Su Xiaotian.
As for how she conceived it, it didn't take much effort.
With so many large supermarkets in later generations, any one of them could be slightly modified.
As long as the layout was reasonable, aesthetically pleasing, and convenient.
Even though she had expected Su Xiaosi to be capable and arrange the shop well, Su Xiaotian was still very surprised when she saw it.
The two-story shop was not only reasonably laid out, but after the goods were stocked, it exuded a sense of high-end sophistication.
Although the goods were all very ordinary, after Su Xiaosi's arrangement, they looked extraordinary.
"Xiaotian, look, is my arrangement okay?"
Su Xiaosi couldn't help but show off when he saw Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian did not hesitate to praise: "Fourth Brother is the most capable, even better than I imagined!"
She was busy with her studies and had not managed it further after drawing the plans.
These were all built by Su Xiaosi bit by bit.
"It's good that Xiaotian is satisfied. I originally thought it would be troublesome to arrange it as in your drawing. I didn't expect the effect to be so good."
Although Su Xiaosi was proud, he also knew that without his sister's drawings, he would never have come up with such a good layout on his own.
"Just by this glance, I know we'll be making a fortune from now on," Su Xiaomei also said with a smile.
"Just wait to feast and drink with your brother!" Su Xiaosi was almost floating.
To be honest, with his personal touch, how could he not make money?
"Fourth Brother, have you found any salespeople?" Su Xiaotian asked, thinking that the opening was not far away.
"I have, but there aren't many young girls. Most of them are older. In the past few years, many educated youths have returned to the city and are unemployed. These people have been in the countryside for years, and they are not young anymore!"
Su Xiaotian didn't say much when she heard this: "As long as they have good character and skills, age doesn't really matter."
Her initial consideration for Su Xiaosi to find young girls was simply because young girls were more likable and could work for more years.
Older girls would get married and have children, which would take up a lot of time throughout the year.
"I think so too. You can rest assured about their character and eloquence. I've assessed them one by one."
Su Xiaosi had high hopes for this shop and did everything himself to achieve perfection.
Su Xiaotian nodded: "Fourth Brother, we're just waiting for the dividends!"
Su Xiaosi was particularly pleased with his sister's admiring gaze, which instantly made him feel that he was actually very capable.
As an elder brother, it was rare and not easy to show off in front of his sister.
The siblings chatted for a while, and then Su Xiaosi remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.
"Xiaotian, isn't today a big day!"
Su Xiaotian: "..."
It seemed that this fourth brother's mind was really only on making money!
"Today is the day Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother are taking the college entrance examination, and Brother Yiyuan is also participating!"
Su Xiaosi patted his head and said, "I knew it was an important day. Let's go home and wait for them."
He was also impatient and quickly called Su Xiaotian and Su Xiaomei to go home.
Su Xiaomei couldn't help but laugh: "No need to be so anxious. They went to take the exam and won't be back until tonight!"
Alright, Su Xiaosi also felt foolish.
The day after the college entrance examination was the opening day of the Su family siblings' shop.
Su Xiaotian gave this shop a very vulgar name: Rongfa Trading Company.
On the opening day, except for Grandma Su and Liang Xiu who had to stay at Yiming Pavilion, everyone else went.
The Su family members did not have much hope for the trading company that the children had started.
However, upon entering, they were shocked by the dazzling array of goods and the enthusiastic salespeople.
Many of the goods here were brought by Su Laosan, but Su Laosan himself was also extremely shocked.
If their own family was so shocked, let alone others.
In this era, there were indeed places with complete goods, such as supply and marketing cooperatives, which had very complete goods.
But they were displayed in a messy way, which gave a bad impression upon entering.
Rongfa Trading Company was different; every item was neatly placed on the shelves.
Today was the opening day, and to attract customers, Su Xiaotian had asked Su Xiaosi to specifically launch a promotional offer: buy twenty yuan and get one yuan back.
Within three days, anyone who spent twenty yuan at Rongfa Trading Company would receive one yuan back.
The more you spend, the more you get back, with no upper limit.
However, what they returned was not money, but vouchers.
These vouchers could be used on any day after three days.
This novel promotional method had never appeared even in Beijing, but it attracted many people.
People are like this; as long as they hear there's a bargain to be had, they will rush forward without hesitation.
The goods in Rongfa Trading Company looked much more high-end than those in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Moreover, the salespeople were eloquent and very polite, completely different from the salespeople in supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned stores.
Almost everyone who entered bought a lot of things in a daze.
Of course, Su Xiaosi had already instructed that sales should not be pushed without bottom lines, and at least items that could be used at home should be promoted.
If they tried to sell a watch to an old lady, and she brought it back for a refund after causing trouble at home, it would be too troublesome.
Most of these salespeople were those who had returned from the countryside and had not yet found jobs.
Although Rongfa Trading Company was not a state-owned unit with an iron rice bowl, it was better than having no job.
Moreover, these salespeople had been away from home for many years, and their relationships with their families had faded considerably, so they didn't have much emotional attachment.
They had to endure scorn for eating at home idly, and some even dared not eat their fill.
Now that they had jobs, it was a great thing for them.
Every one of them cherished their current job and worked diligently.
There were a total of six salespeople hired for the two floors, but today there were too many people. Even though these salespeople were busy off their feet, they were still overwhelmed.
At this time, more than a dozen Su family children pitched in, and finally managed to attend to all the customers.
There was nothing better than a constant stream of customers. Although they were busy, everyone had a smile on their face.
