My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 243: Chapter 183: Wooing and Pledging Allegiance

The Sa Mo store in Ganglong International had a prime location!

It was right at the top of the escalator, an area with the highest foot traffic. This was the former location of Four Seasons Clothing’s Ledi brand!

After it was taken away, Xia Bin had been absolutely devastated.

Chen Xiao also spotted the Yi Rui store not far from Sa Mo. Yi Rui had been open for a few days now.

Its performance was lukewarm, mainly because the brand’s positioning didn’t quite match Ganglong International’s customer base.

Chen Xiao certainly wasn’t going to focus on the performance of a single store anymore. Even the best store’s monthly profit couldn’t compare to his daily basic stipend!

He’d even set up a filter to block the notification messages for his daily stipend deposits. They were just annoying.

"Looks pretty good!"

Chen Xiao said, looking at the Sa Mo store from a distance.

Zhang Shijie said, "Haoran just sent a message. Not counting the limited-edition launch items, from opening at 10 AM to 3 PM this afternoon, sales have already broken 250,000!"

Chen Xiao nodded. That performance was indeed worth celebrating. A store’s main sales were usually concentrated in the evening, and that was especially true for a Friday like today.

It seemed Liu Haoran and Xu Jia had really done their homework. Of course, this was also thanks to Ganglong International’s recent frequent promotions on its mall platform and the nearly 100,000 yuan in cash subsidy coupons released this weekend.

This 100,000 yuan was nothing to sneeze at. A high-end venue like Ganglong International rarely spent money on sales promotion activities. They preferred to spend on visual merchandising and creative events.

This kind of direct subsidy was too simple and crude, lacking any technical finesse.

But it was indeed effective for ordinary high-end brands. Sa Mo had claimed the lion’s share of this 100,000 yuan, which was one of the reasons for today’s excellent performance.

When all efforts were focused on this one store, the result was exponential growth.

Xu Jia saw them from a distance inside the store and was about to come over, but Chen Xiao waved his hand, signaling for them to focus on their work.

Liu Haoran, however, jogged over to greet them.

"President Chen, President Zhang!"

Chen Xiao was polite to Liu Haoran, and Zhang Shijie now treated him like a trusted confidant.

The change in Liu Haoran over the past few months was like night and day.

In the past, when he went to headquarters for meetings, he wouldn’t get to say a single word to the CEO. When he was with the regional president, President Qu, reporting the annual work plan, he would watch the CEO berate President Qu, and the subordinates below would be trembling in their boots.

He never would have dreamed that one day, Zhang Shijie would clap him on the shoulder and say, "Good work, Liu!"

Liu almost burst into tears.

"Sirs, would you like to go inside and take a look?"

Zhang Shijie was interested. As the Sect Leader of a retail enterprise, store inspections were both a habit and a specialty of his.

But Chen Xiao was different. He was accustomed to being lazy; he couldn’t even be bothered to look at investments under 20 million yuan for the Junxiao Group.

For those over 20 million, only then would he use his "Wisdom Eye" Skill to check the return on investment.

He was even too lazy to use his Wisdom Eye. His laziness had reached an extraordinary level.

"You guys go take a look. I’ll just wander around out here." Chen Xiao didn’t want to join the crowd, nor did he want to dampen Zhang Shijie’s enthusiasm for inspecting the store.

After all, this was the first Sa Mo in the country, and also the first Ganglong International Store. The successful experience of this store could be fully replicated.

It could also provide data to support Zhang Shijie’s future store expansion plans.

"In that case, President Chen, I’ll take Haoran inside for a look. We’ll join you again shortly!" Zhang Shijie didn’t stand on ceremony.

’Showing a passion for work in front of President Chen is the proper thing to do, after all!’

Chen Xiao leaned against the railing of the glass barrier in the mall’s central hall, crossing his legs and folding his arms as he watched the Sa Mo store directly opposite him.

There was a constant line of people at the checkout counter, and customers were queuing outside all three fitting rooms. Compared to the neighboring brands, this place was clearly much livelier.

Compared to the Sa Mo stores previously run by Four Seasons Clothing, the Yino Group’s directly-operated store had a much richer SKU of goods.

This was because a directly-operated company didn’t need to worry about inventory pressure, and a richer SKU for a trendy brand like this was more likely to generate sales.

Likely because of the collaboration with Chanel, Sa Mo’s recent market hype far exceeded anything before. Never mind this store’s launch today; even the Four Seasons Clothing stores that didn’t have the launch items saw many customers coming in to ask, simply because they were unclear on the release logistics.

This also drove a wave of traffic to the Four Seasons Clothing stores. The performance of the Sa Mo stores run by Four Seasons Clothing had seen an increase of over 30% in the last two days.

Chen Xiao glanced at the nearby Erte store. It was completely deserted. ’They’re probably about to close down, so they haven’t restocked recently.’

The mall’s cash subsidy coupon event naturally wouldn’t include a brand that was pulling out, leading to dismal performance. The staff at the entrance were staring over in this direction, their faces full of envy.

Just then, someone nearby called out, "Excuse me, are you President Chen?"

Chen Xiao turned his head to see a middle-aged man in the mall’s uniform addressing him.

"I’m Chen Xiao."

He wasn’t sure if the "President Chen" the man was looking for was him, so he gave his name first.

The middle-aged man hurriedly and nervously said, "President Chen, hello! I’m Gu Yan, the Vice President of Ganglong International!"

’He’s a bit embarrassed. No, wait, the most embarrassed one is actually Huang Guangyuan!’

Huang Guangyuan had canceled all his appointments at the company this afternoon just to wait for Chen Xiao’s arrival. The moment Liu Haoran met up with Chen Xiao, he had sent Huang Guangyuan a message.

He had been scrambling to come and greet them, but then tragedy struck.

He had an upset stomach. When nature calls, not even the most important matter can wait.
