Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Zhang Wei left the factory after get off work, his steps brisk as if he was walking on the spring breeze, passing through the bustling street full of life, and finally stepped into the familiar and slightly shabby building. Although the building is old, in Zhang Wei's heart, it is a warm haven.

In the community, several elderly people were sitting in the shade of trees, fanning themselves and chatting. Seeing Zhang Wei coming back, they all cast envious glances at him, and the topic naturally turned to Li Ming, the young man who worked in the National Day factory and had recently attracted much attention for his outstanding work.

"Hey, look, isn't this Zhang Wei? He also works in the factory, and I heard he is doing a very good job!" said an old man with a smile, waving a palm-leaf fan.

"Yes, Zhang Wei is a hardworking and down-to-earth child. He will definitely achieve something in the future. Unlike our kid who just plays all day long." An old lady nearby also echoed, her eyes full of approval for Zhang Wei.

Not far away, several pretty girls gathered together, whispering, occasionally looking up at Zhang Wei, with a blush on their cheeks. Some of them whispered, while others stared at Zhang Wei boldly, making Zhang Wei feel a little shy and quickening his pace to go home.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by the warmth of home. My father was sitting on the old sofa, reading a newspaper, his eyes behind his glasses revealing a bit of wisdom; my mother was busy in the kitchen, the clatter of pots and pans played a cheerful melody; my younger brother was lying on the floor, concentrating on playing with building blocks, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.

As soon as he saw Zhang Wei come in, the younger brother immediately dropped the toys in his hands, ran over, hugged Zhang Wei's thighs, and cheered: "Brother, you're back! How was work today?" He raised his head, his eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation, as if he wanted to hear some earth-shaking news from Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei smiled and patted his brother's head, saying, "Very good, brother, you did a good job today. The masters in the factory all praised my good craftsmanship and said they would teach me more techniques!"

At this time, mom and dad also came over from the kitchen and living room, their faces filled with smiles. Dad patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said, "Son, you've worked hard! You've made such a big contribution to the family, we are really grateful to you." Mom held Zhang Wei's hand tightly, her eyes slightly red, "Son, you're really great! We are proud of you."

At dinner, the family sat around the table, enjoying the rare reunion time. Zhang Wei excitedly announced a good news: "I will get a bonus at the end of the month! The combined salary will be 110 yuan!" This news surprised his parents, because the combined salary of the two of them was less than 100 yuan.

The mother excitedly held Zhang Wei's hand, her voice choking with sobs: "My child, you are really great! We never thought you could be so successful." The father also showed a rare smile, he patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said: "Work hard! The future is promising! You have brought hope and motivation to our family."

The younger brother was even more excited. He held Zhang Wei's hand and said coquettishly, "Brother, can you take me to buy toys on the weekend? Many of my classmates have new toys, and I want one too." He blinked his big eyes and looked at Zhang Wei expectantly.

Zhang Wei looked at his brother's expectant eyes, and his heart softened. He smiled and nodded: "Okay! I'll take you to buy toys this weekend. But you have to promise me that you will study hard and make your parents live a better life like me in the future." The brother nodded repeatedly, and the family was immersed in a happy atmosphere.

The dinner became more delicious. Zhang Wei knew that the meaning of this job was far more than money. It was also the transmission of love and hope among family members. He felt unprecedented motivation and responsibility, and secretly made up his mind: he must work harder, not only for his own future, but also for this family, so that his family can live a happier life.

Zhao Qing left the factory after get off work, her steps were as light as if she was walking in the spring breeze, and her posture was like a ray of sunshine in spring, penetrating the afterglow of the evening, coating her with a layer of golden brilliance. She slowly walked into the courtyard full of traces of time, and every step seemed so calm and unhurried.

In the courtyard, the old men and women were sitting together, enjoying the coolness of the evening. They were fanning themselves, chatting about family matters, and their faces were filled with satisfied smiles. Seeing Zhao Qing return, they all cast envious glances at her, and the topic naturally revolved around Zhao Qing.

"Oh, Zhao Qing is really getting more and more successful. She is doing very well in the factory. I heard that she was even praised by her superiors." An old man took a sip of tea and praised her highly, his eyes sparkling with admiration for Zhao Qing.

"Yes, it's our blessing to have such a capable girl in our courtyard. Look at those guys, who doesn't secretly look at her? This girl Zhao Qing is not only beautiful, but also so promising. She will definitely find a good family in the future." The auntie next to her smiled and spoke, her eyes full of relief and pride, as if Zhao Qing was her biological daughter.

Not far away, several pretty girls gathered together, whispering about Zhao Qing. Some of them lowered their heads to whisper, while others looked up at Zhao Qing, their eyes gleaming with admiration and envy. They talked about Zhao Qing's dress, work achievements, and some even asked about Zhao Qing's love life, wanting to learn from her.

Zhao Qing felt the praise and envy of the people around her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She smiled and nodded to them, and then happily returned home. As soon as she entered the door, her parents and sister came to greet her. Their faces were filled with smiles. They praised Zhao Qing and said that she had worked hard and brought honor to the family.

"Qing'er, you are really great! We are proud of you." Mom excitedly held Zhao Qing's hand, her eyes slightly red, as if she was about to cry.

"Yes, sister, you are really awesome! I want to be like you in the future, work hard and bring honor to our family!" The younger sister jumped and cheered, her eyes sparkling with admiration and yearning for Zhao Qing.

At dinner, the family sat around the table, enjoying a warm moment. Zhao Qing excitedly announced a good news: "I will get a bonus at the end of the month, and my total salary will reach 110 yuan!"

The news surprised her parents, as their combined salary was less than 100 yuan. Her mother excitedly held Zhao Qing's hand again, her voice choking with sobs: "My child, you are really amazing! We never thought you could be so successful. Your father and I have always been worried about you, but now it seems that our worries were unnecessary."

Dad also smiled and patted Zhao Qing on the shoulder: "Daughter, you are really excellent. We are proud of you. You must continue to work hard and strive for greater achievements."

However, Zhao Qing was a little surprised by her mother's next words: "Qing'er, someone has recently arranged a blind date for you. The other person is quite good. What do you think?"

Zhao Qing frowned when she heard this. She shook her head and said firmly, "Mom, I don't want to think about this now. You know, when I didn't have a job before, no one looked up to me. Now that I have my own career, I want to settle down first before considering other things. Marriage is not a joke. I must find someone who is right for me."

After listening to Zhao Qing's words, her mother was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, daughter, I understand your thoughts. As long as you are happy, we are relieved. Marriage is indeed a big thing that cannot be sloppy. You have to take your time to find someone who is really good to you."

The family continued to enjoy dinner in a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Zhao Qing knew that her work was not only for herself, but also for her family, so that they could live a better life. She secretly made up her mind to work harder so that she and her family could live a happy life. At the same time, she also looked forward to the future and believed that she would be able to find her own happiness.

Liu Pingan stepped into the factory's conference room with a satisfied smile, holding tightly in his hand the electric fan that he had produced and tested himself. He gently placed the fan in the center of the conference table, as if displaying a precious work of art. He looked around at his colleagues in the sales department, his eyes full of expectation and confidence.

"Do you know? I tried our new electric fan last night, and the effect was unexpectedly good!" Liu Ping'an's voice was full of excitement. "It has strong wind power, low noise, and a stylish appearance. I believe it will definitely become a hot-selling product in the market."

Sales Manager Li Hua's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he was infected by Liu Ping'an's enthusiasm. He immediately said, "Director Liu, since you are so confident in the product, we have to plan a sales strategy. The promotion outside the department store is a good idea. We can make a big noise and attract more customers' attention."

"Yes, Manager Li is right." Liu Pingan nodded in agreement, and at the same time glanced at everyone present, "I want to hear everyone's opinions. How can we make our electric fan stand out from the crowd?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhang from the sales department stood up impatiently, his face filled with excitement: "We can set up an experience area to let customers experience the coolness and comfort of electric fans. Imagine that on a hot summer day, customers walk into the department store and see our electric fans blowing cool wind at a glance. They will definitely come to try it. In addition, we can also prepare some small gifts, such as fans, ice packs, etc., as gifts for buying electric fans to increase customers' desire to buy."

Xiao Li added: "I think we can also organize a limited-time discount event, for example, the first 100 customers can enjoy a 9% discount. This can not only attract popularity, but also promote sales. Everyone has a rush to buy, and when they see a limited-time discount, they will definitely buy it."

Sister Wang thought about it and came up with a creative idea: "We can make some attractive posters and banners with slogans such as 'Cool summer, special discount on fans' and hang them outside the department store. In this way, passers-by will see our promotion at a glance and will definitely be attracted. In addition, we can also ask a few models to wear cool clothes and stand in front of the booth with electric fans to demonstrate the effect of the product. In this way, customers can understand our electric fans more intuitively."

Liu Pingan listened to everyone's opinions and nodded continuously. He had already formed a preliminary idea in his mind. He looked at the workshop director Lao Wang who was sitting next to him and said, "Lao Wang, you should also listen to everyone's opinions and see if our workshop can cooperate and come up with some new ideas."

Upon hearing this, Lao Wang immediately sat up straight and listened carefully to the discussion. He thought for a moment and made a suggestion: "I think we can put some personalized labels or patterns on the electric fan, such as cartoon characters, landscapes, etc. In this way, the electric fan will not only be a practical home appliance, but also a decoration to increase customers' desire to buy."

Liu Ping'an's eyes lit up after hearing Lao Wang's suggestion, and he immediately agreed: "This is a good idea! We can organize a 'customized electric fan' event, allowing customers to choose their favorite labels or patterns, and then our workshop will be responsible for sticking them on. In this way, each electric fan is unique, which will definitely attract more customers."

Colleagues in the sales department expressed their agreement, and the meeting room was filled with a positive atmosphere. Liu Pingan looked at everyone with confidence. He believed that with everyone's joint efforts, this electric fan would surely achieve impressive results in the market.

He cleared his throat and concluded, "Everyone's ideas are good, and we can combine them to implement them. In addition to the above-mentioned promotional methods, I also suggest that we can organize an interactive game, such as 'Guess the Wind Speed' or 'Blowing Balloon Competition', so that customers can understand the advantages of our electric fans in an entertaining way. At the same time, we must also provide good after-sales service so that customers can buy with confidence and use with comfort. Only in this way can our electric fans gain a firm foothold in the market and become a truly hot-selling product."

The next day, when the first rays of sunlight quietly emerged from the clouds and gently sprinkled the streets, Liu Ping'an had already led a group of colleagues from the factory to the open space in front of the department store. They carried large and small bags on their shoulders and in their hands, which were filled with electric fans, promotional materials and carefully planned activity props. Everyone's face was filled with anticipation and excitement.

In front of the department store, the crowd was bustling and lively. Liu Ping'an's loud "start" was like a horn, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the team. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li from the sales department acted quickly. They cooperated tacitly and carefully placed the electric fans on the carefully arranged booths. After each fan was adjusted, they did not forget to gently rotate the blades to ensure that they could send the coolest wind in the summer.

Sister Wang directed several colleagues to hang up colorful and innovatively designed promotional posters and banners. Slogans such as "Cool summer, fans for free" and "Customize your own cool breeze" were particularly eye-catching in the morning light, attracting passers-by to stop and curiously inquire about the details of the event.

Not far away, workshop director Lao Wang was leading a technical team to carry out a unique "customized electric fan" activity. In front of them were various cartoon stickers, landscape pictures, and personalized labels, inviting customers to personally participate in the design and take this unique work of art home. A young mother with a child asked curiously: "Can I really choose the pattern to put on it? It's so interesting!" Lao Wang smiled and nodded: "Yes, the children can choose whatever pattern they like, and let the electric fan become a landscape at home."

Liu Pingan stood in the middle of the crowd, holding a microphone, his voice loud and infectious: "Dear customers and friends, welcome to our electric fan feast! Today, we not only bring high-quality fan products, but also two interesting games waiting for you - 'Guess the wind speed' to test your perception; 'Blowing balloon competition' to challenge your lung capacity! As long as you participate, you will have a chance to win our small gifts, come and try it!"

As soon as the words fell, the curiosity and excitement of the crowd were completely ignited. A young man in casual clothes took the lead and showed great interest in the "Guess the Wind Speed" game: "How do you guess it? Are there any tricks?" Liu Ping'an smiled and explained: "It's very simple, just feel it carefully, and the one who is closest to the actual wind speed will win. Come on, give it a try!"

On the other side, the "balloon blowing competition" also attracted many participants. A little girl puffed up her cheeks and blew up the balloon with all her strength, and her parents cheered her on. The scene was warm and joyful. The little girl won in the end and excitedly received the prize, saying repeatedly: "It's so fun, I will tell my friends to join in too!"

At the event, customers not only enjoyed the coolness brought by the electric fan, but also deepened their understanding and love for the product in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. A middle-aged man praised the fan after trying it: "This fan has a gentle wind, low noise, and a very user-friendly design. I decided to buy one to take home."

Liu Pingan stood aside, looking at the warm and energetic scenes, with an indescribable satisfaction and pride in his heart. He knew that this was not only a successful promotion, but also the crystallization of the team's wisdom and sweat. As the sun set, the event came to a successful conclusion. Liu Pingan and his colleagues returned home with a full load, and their hearts were filled with infinite longing for the future. They believed that as long as they were united and courageous to innovate, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome, and the road ahead would become wider and wider.
