ABT Chapter 0048: Grand Opening!

Zhengxin Automobiles had become a hot topic in Tiancheng City.

In these past two days, riding on the popularity of "Emergency Crisis," Zhengxin Automobiles had become a topic of conversation in every corner of Tiancheng.

Some said the company was run by Ma Rao's relatives, some said it was the boyfriend of Zhou Qingyu, while others claimed it was the offspring of some leader in the city.

There were various speculations, fully demonstrating the gossip expertise of the Chinese masses.

Even before the official opening of the company, many people came to visit.

These past few days had kept Li Fanyu incredibly busy, feeling like he needed to split himself in half. After observing, he sadly discovered that although Pan Qiang and the others were skilled workers in technical aspects, asking them to handle sales was truly difficult.

They either had a straight face or a silly grin, and training them to sell cars was a nightmare.

Helpless, he had no choice but to transfer them all to the X workshop. Li Fanyu and Pan Qiang went to the talent market again and recruited over ten experienced salespersons.

While Li Fanyu was busy familiarizing the laborers with the X workshop, he also conducted simple training for the recruited salespersons.

Unable to handle everything alone, he brought Cheng Ke, the Three Nerds, and the Three Beasts over as well.

Everyone was surprised and impressed by Li Fanyu's big move. Seeing the chaos in the company, Cheng Ke led everyone energetically to organize things.

Cheng Ke rolled up her sleeves, pinched her waist, and directed everyone around like servants. But you know what? The efficiency was surprisingly high.

The empty space in front of the company had been converted into a parking lot, neatly accommodating a hundred cars.

After the refurbishment and repair in the X workshop, these cars were impeccable both in appearance and performance—almost eighty percent new.

In order to make a name for themselves and attract attention, Li Fanyu decided to sell all these cars at a discount of sixty percent off the original price.

This move left the employees in the sales department speechless. They thought to themselves that the boss was truly living up to that famous advertising slogan—"Zhejiang Wenzhou's Largest Leather Factory...".

Ahem, wrong. It should be "Not for profit, only for promotion!"

What they didn't know was that even at this price, Li Fanyu still had more than double the profit margin! You see, these cars were bought at nearly scrap prices...

Everyone was busy until the evening of September 3rd, finally getting everything ready.

Li Fanyu looked at the renovated company with satisfaction, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

From now on, this would be his foundation.

Standing in front of the company's gate, he looked at his brothers, his employees, feeling happy. With a wave of his hand, he treated everyone to dinner to celebrate the opening tomorrow.

Pan Qiang and the others were fine, foolishly following along. The salespeople, on the other hand, were deeply moved— their new boss was friendly and generous, it seemed like they had found a pretty good job.

The group had a lively dinner and didn't disperse until after nine o'clock, each heading home.

Everything was prepared, only the opening was left. Li Fanyu lay in bed, feeling excited and unable to sleep.

September 4th, clear skies. Sunday, the fourth day of the eighth month in the Year of Bing Shen. Auspicious for groundbreaking, opening a business, marriage, and travel. Inauspicious for engagement, marriage proposals, and not voting for this book.

Not only were the prices cheap, but the sales also solemnly promised that within one month, if there were any dissatisfaction, they could return the product for a refund or exchange!

This was simply like winning the lottery!

The repair service was even more outrageous. A group of straight-backed men would silly smile at you, and when you asked for the price, they would just point to the service chart beside them.

Grand Opening Specials:

- Oil change, free service fee.

- Diagnostic troubleshooting, free service fee.

- Electronic component repair, flat rate of three hundred regardless of location.

- Bodywork and paint, flat rate of five hundred regardless of location.

- Engine repair, flat rate of nine hundred regardless of extent of damage.

Damn! Doing business like this, can they even make money? The boss must be setting prices to achieve full communism!

In the sales department's office, the accountants and cashiers thought they wouldn't be busy until around ten o'clock, but to their surprise, customers started coming to make payments just past nine o'clock.

It seemed like they couldn't wait any longer.

At nineteen minutes past nine, Li Fanyu, accompanied by family and friends, lit the firecrackers and unveiled the fiery red cloth.

Zhengxin Automobile Company, officially open for business!

Li Fanyu picked up the walkie-talkie and announced to all the employees of the company: on the first day of opening today, all customers who make purchases will receive six months of free vehicle maintenance!

For a moment, the customers were ecstatic.

In the office, the two cash counting machines worked incessantly, and the two young girls in accounting and cashiering were so busy they didn't even have time to lift their heads, drenched in sweat.

Li Ma went to the office and headed straight to the cash register to help collect money. As Li Ma put it, she was happy to do this work.

Outside the office, there was a small line; the cars were in good condition and cheap, so people were buying them up! Accurate fault diagnosis, fast and good repairs—give me a full set of services!

This scene continued from morning until evening, until the last customer was sent away, and it was already seven o'clock.

The sky had darkened, and everyone collapsed on the ground.

It was busy, too busy.

Even Pan Qiang's group of iron men felt sore and tired. The salespeople, on the other hand, didn't need to be said, they just lay on the ground like dead dogs.

But thinking about the commissions earned today...

Well, they were a group of smiling dead dogs.

Accountant Wang Meimei, a young girl who had only graduated from college for two years, came to Li Fanyu with a hoarse voice and handed over a form.

Li Fanyu took a look and immediately became spirited.

Wow! Knowing today would be busy, but didn't expect it to be this busy!

Ninety-four out of a hundred cars were sold, and the remaining six also paid deposits, with sales totaling 4.92 million.

The repair department received a total of 264 orders, with sales totaling 510,000.

Just one day after opening, the total revenue was over five million. After deducting labor costs, the net profit was over three million!

The company's booming sales even alarmed nearby banks.

The bank manager personally visited and brought gifts, seeing the money piled up on the cashier's table, immediately called for a security truck to come and collect it.

Li Fanyu didn't even go to the bank lobby, but directly applied for a VIP card on-site and deposited the money.

The bank manager left with a spring in his step, ecstatic. With such a big client by his side, this year's bonus was going to be explosive!
