Chapter 17 Door-to-door service
Three days, in just three days, Duke recruited all the employees.
The two new card repairers, Murav and Simmons, were both introduced by Dilanco and recruited by Duke himself. They were given a rather high quota, which was a bit higher than that of Best Card Repair Shop.
Basically, the current share of the three card repairers has taken away most of the cost of repairing the card.
This is a helpless move.
Duke doesn’t really care much, as long as he keeps his customers, he can earn money back from other sources in the future. And if this move can be passed, the Best Shuka store will be run and collapsed, and everything will be restored by then.
The teller chose Sally, a widow in her thirties.
Sally lives alone with her two children, and her family lives nearby. Duke has heard that she has a good reputation, and there are no rumors of indiscretion. She has attended the literacy class in the town, and is quite proficient in arithmetic. She is also tall and thick, suitable for receiving customers, and will not be molested by others.
The kitchen applied for an aunt named Abi. Abi used to work as a servant in a rich man's family. After the rich man moved to Shenjiao City, she lost her job.
Duke asked her to cook a meal and found that her cooking skills were not bad.
Two new apprentices, Syphis is Simmons' nephew, and Dieter is the young man he applied for.
The two deliverymen, Dutlan and Steve, applied for the job on their own.
"Boss Duke, are you sure you can support the card repair shop by doing this?" Di Lanco was very puzzled when he saw Duke recruiting so many people at once.
Dilanco doesn't eat in the store, the food in the store is too simple.
But others, including apprentices, applaud the management of the restaurant.
"Teacher Di Lanke, please trust me."
"Well, the shop is yours, of course, I believe you." Diranko shrugged his shoulders, not convinced by Duke's confidence.
Duke didn't explain too much.
He called Dutlan and Steve, two deliverymen: "Come with me, I will take you to a tailor shop to order a suit of clothes and buy two second-hand bicycles."
"Wow, boss, is the treatment so good in the shop?" Dutlan said excitedly.
"The remuneration is linked to your work." Although Duke is young, the boss still has a good air. "In the future, the two of you will be responsible for sweeping the streets. You will spend two days a week to ask all the people in the nearby alleys."
Duke’s operation mode is very simple, in addition to door-to-door delivery, door-to-door service is also required.
Many families have broken spirit cards, and may not have time to come to repair the card. At this time, the little Sam card repair shop will come to the door to repair the broken spirit card for free, and send it back after repairing. I believe most families will not refuse.
…
Busy all morning.
Both Dutland and Steve changed into work clothes with the name "Little Sam's Shuka Shop" embroidered on it, and each was equipped with a second-hand bicycle.
"Steve will help in the store first, and Dutlan will start with me."
Duke brought the business card of Little Sam’s card shop, which is a spiritual card similar to a business license, and without this card, he is not allowed to open a store and do business.
Dutlan rode a bicycle and drove Duke north along Second Vertical Street.
Passing the first alley, the two knocked on the door of the first house.
"Hi, Ma'am, I'm Duke, the new owner of Little Sam's repair card store. Old Sam has transferred the store to me. This is my business card." Duke took out the business card and handed it to the other party for inspection. "Our store has launched door-to-door service and purchasing service. From now on, this Dutlan deliveryman will come to the door once a week. If you have a spirit card that needs to be sent for repair, you can give it to him for free service..."
"Oh, I heard that old Sam transferred the shop to you." The middle-aged woman said happily, "It happens that one of my Chu Ling cards is broken, can I give it to you to fix it now?"
"Of course." Duke nodded, "Dutlan, make a note."
"Oh good." Dutlan took out a notebook and wrote down the house number and the serial number on the spirit card.
Duke added on the side: "After the repair is completed, a repair bill will be issued to you, and you will pay when you send it back."
The middle-aged woman asked: "This is really good, when can I send it back?"
"Two or three days."
"good."
"Please confirm again, Dutlan, the deliveryman of our store, from now on, there will be only one deliveryman in your house, Dutlan, to prevent someone from pretending to cheat your family's Lingcard."
"I remember this young man." The middle-aged woman was very satisfied with Duke's carefulness, "Our family has repaired the spirit card in the old Sam repair card shop for more than ten years, and we have always been very assured of your shop...By the way, young man, who are you from Old Sam?"
"Old Sam is my teacher, he transferred the store to me, and specifically noted that if I don't manage well or damage the store's reputation, he will take it back." Duke replied with a smile, taking advantage of the word-of-mouth that Old Sam had operated for many years.
"Old Sam is not bad, young man, work hard, don't smash Old Sam's signboard."
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Going door-to-door, Dukes who are at home are familiar with each other, and those who are not at home also write down the house number, so that they can get acquainted when they come back another day.
Because of the word-of-mouth of the old Sam Shuka store for more than 20 years, everything is going well. Everyone is willing to believe that they are satisfied with the door-to-door service and purchasing agent service launched by Duke.
"It would be great if you could also come to repair the spiritual weapon. My water heater and sewing machine are broken, and it would be too troublesome to send it to the spiritual weapon repair shop." An elderly man said with emotion.
Duke smiled slightly: "Little Sam's card repair shop is only responsible for repairing spirit cards for the time being, but maybe it will expand its business scope later."
"Then expand it earlier, repairing cards can make money, and repairing spirit tools can also make money, right?"
"You're right."
"Boss Duke, if you do well in these two businesses, you will definitely make a fortune."
"I would like to borrow your good words."
On the way back, Tranter asked: "Boss, are you still planning to open a spiritual weapon repair shop?"
"Let's talk about the future." Duke said casually. At this stage, he just wants to stabilize the card repair shop, so that he can have a steady stream of income, and ensure the supply of resources along the way of spiritual cultivation. He doesn't want to be distracted too much.
after all.
In the extraordinary world, power is fundamental.
Weak people can make money, but they can't keep it. But when they are strong, they don't need to make money, and others will send money.
When he returned to the store, Dutlan brought in a small stack of damaged spirit cards.
Seeing this, Di Lanco said with a smile: "Boss Duke, today's street sweeping has yielded a lot."
Before, he was worried that Duke would run the business indiscriminately, and the card repair shop would close down, and he would have to find a new job, but when he saw so many spirit cards received by the door-to-door service, he no longer doubted Duke's ability.
"Haha, Boss Little Duke is really capable." Simmons card repairer continued, "This time sweeping the street, I am afraid that all the spirit cards in the next ten and a half months will be collected. I think the newly opened Best Card repair shop may be idle for half a month."
Another Master Muraf Xiuka belongs to the distant relative of the Black Snake family, and he is a bit lofty. Hearing the words, he said lightly: "This move is really good."
Simmons immediately echoed: "In the business field, you have to be ruthless. That Best is not particular, and the boss of Little Duke will naturally retaliate."
Duke smiled: "It's not about retaliation, it's just to stabilize the customers, so as to prevent the reputation of Little Sam's card shop from falling into my hands for more than 20 years."
