She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s Chapter 931 Buying the Department Store

"Manager, don’t worry. Even if the department store is bought, the employees can undergo some retraining and still be part of the department store staff," Second Sister-in-law Yun assured.

Does she mean not letting the department store employees lose their jobs?

That’s actually feasible.

"I’ll submit an application."

The transition from state-owned to private enterprise is inevitable; otherwise, the department store will have to close down.

This decision was quickly finalized because expenses exceeded revenues.

The only issue was the price being somewhat high.

Of course, Second Brother Yun had to negotiate the price down.

Both parties promised.

Yun Xiaoxiao flew here alone.

"Hold a clearance sale for the department store’s items, sell them all, then remodel the place. During the renovation, the employees need to be retrained in smiling and patient service."

Second Sister-in-law Yun listened carefully to Xiaoxiao, her sister-in-law.

"During the training period, they will still receive their regular salary; however, bonuses won’t be included, only the base salary. Once we’re open, apart from the base salary, they can start earning missions – the more they sell, the more they earn. You can have mom calculate this with an accountant."

Handling missions can be a bit tricky and requires experienced accountants.

Acquisition of the three-story department store for $150,000.

Because of these sales clerks, the price was slightly reduced.

The department store items were sold without receipts, at an 80% discount.

After a bit of advertising, all items were sold in three days.

"Hello everyone, I’m your boss Yun Xiaoxiao. As you already know, I’ve acquired the department store. You may be worried about losing your jobs, but I can assure you that there’s no need to worry. Although the department store has shifted from being state-owned to private, it’s still the place where you’ll work."

Second Sister-in-law Yun glimpsed at Second Brother Yun, understanding that Xiaoxiao was being strict to ensure control, as Xiaoxiao played the bad cop and she played the good cop.

"Naturally, the nature of this has changed, and so have salaries – base salary plus mission plus bonus, along with some holiday gifts. Your earnings will reflect your contributions; the better you sell, the more you earn. Don’t feel discontent when others earn more. If anyone wishes to leave, a severance package will be provided."

"Does anyone want to leave?"

Yun Xiaoxiao addressed them through a loudspeaker.

No one departed.

Who would want to leave?

Jobs aren’t easy to find these days, and many have been working at the department store for years, making leaving unthinkable.

"Since no one is leaving, I’ll continue."

"Our department store needs remodeling and reopening. During this time, you’ll undergo half a month of training, but rest assured your salaries will still be paid in full."

"Afterward, you’ll line up to register your skills. I’ll assign you suitable positions based on that. As such, your future job roles may change, and so might the wages. After training ends, I’ll post the salary details."

"Register one by one."

The department store spans three floors, adding up to quite a few dozen people.

Those who had seen Yun Xiaoxiao’s photos knew she was Second Sister-in-law Yun’s sister-in-law.

Buying the department store speaks volumes about her wealth.
