Chapter 31 Siyi Yuqing Re-employment
After the Olympics, Siyi, accompanied by Yuqing, decided to go to Ai Faner Fashion Women's Clothing Company to find out the truth. After all, if it was true, it would be a rare opportunity now.
According to the address on the business card, the two found the downstairs of the company.This is a high-end commercial building located in the city center, with the company on the eighth floor.
Entering the first floor of the commercial building, the interior is spacious and bright, and the office environment is as clean as new. Property personnel in professional attire politely guide visitors who come to the commercial building for business.
Yuqing and Siyi came to the front desk together, explained their purpose of visit, and after registering the visitor information, the security guard opened the glass door into the commercial building. The two came to the elevator entrance, and then went up to the eighth floor of the building together.
"We're here on the eighth floor." The two of them got out of the elevator. The first thing they saw was a large glass door. The glass was polished to a shine. On the wall inside the door, there were several large characters "Ai Faner Fashionable Women's Clothing" inlaid with gold in the middle. .
"Wow! The office conditions here are so good!" Siyi couldn't help but marvel.
"Yes, it looks so high-end!" Yuqing also agreed in surprise.
As soon as the two people walked into the company's glass door, the girl at the front desk asked politely with a smile: "Hello, are you two here for an interview?"
"Hello, I'm Li Siyi, I'm here to see Mr. Xu." Siyi responded politely.
"Hello, Ms. Li Siyi, we, Mr. Xu, have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come this way." The girl at the front desk said and led Siyi to the general manager's office.
"Siyi, I'll just sit on the sofa in the lobby and wait for you." Yuqing saw the office environment here, and she felt that Siyi didn't need her company for the rest of the talk about work, and she would wait in the front lobby. That's it.
"Okay, then you sit here and wait for me for a while." After Siyi said that, she entered the general manager's office.
"Hello, Ms. Li Siyi, I've finally come to see you!" After Xu Fei saw Siyi, he quickly stepped forward to greet her with a smile, poured a glass of water and handed it to Siyi.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Siyi expressed her gratitude after taking the water glass.
"Let me make an introduction first. This is the company headquarters. Our company has its own clothing processing factory. Your job is to take photos wearing the latest styles of women's clothing designed by the company, and then we will display the products online for customers to choose from. Commonly known as e-commerce models." After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he looked at Siyi.
"Okay, Mr. Xu." Siyi replied politely.
Mr. Xu continued, "In the early stage, we will have relevant training staff to give you basic expression management and posture advice. You don't have to worry about this, as long as you cooperate well."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Xu." Siyi continued to respond politely.
"Let's go, let me take you to visit the company first to get a preliminary understanding and familiarize yourself with the working environment." Mr. Xu said and took Siyi out of the general manager's office.
Yuqing saw Siyi coming out and hurried forward to greet her.Siyi introduced: "This is my good friend, Wang Yuqing, who graduated from University C last year." She turned to Yuqing and introduced: "This is Mr. Xu."
"Hello, Mr. Xu." Yuqing greeted quickly.
"You're a top student from University C! Just in time, I'll take Siyi to visit the company and get familiar with the working environment. You can come with us." Mr. Xu invited Yuqing to go with him.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Xu."
Mr. Xu made an introduction while walking: "Since the second half of last year, the subprime mortgage crisis caused by the United States has brought the world economy into a cold winter, which has also provided a rare development opportunity for e-commerce. According to relevant reports, during this crisis Among them, the proportion of companies that do not use e-commerce is as high as 80%, while the proportion of companies that use e-commerce is only more than ten percent. Our company is the first in the industry to transfer offline business to online. At present, it seems that this step is the right one, and it has completely reversed the situation of losses and passivity." Speaking of this, Mr. Xu's joy was beyond words.
"Do you know what indicators are used to measure whether a country or region's B2C e-commerce is about to take off?" Mr. Xu asked Siyi and Yuqing.
The two people looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, indicating that they didn't know.
Mr. Xu glanced at the two people and continued: "Has the proportion of female Internet users suddenly increased significantly? *** said that women can hold up half the sky, and women represent huge consumption power. Since this year, the proportion of female Internet users in our country has It has increased significantly from 42% at the beginning of the year to 46% currently, and this number is still growing. Our company is engaged in women's business, so the future market is very broad. Siyi! The company hired you as our image spokesperson, You have to work hard!" Mr. Xu encouraged Siyi.
"Well, don't worry, Mr. Xu, I will definitely work hard." After listening to Mr. Xu's introduction, Siyi had a preliminary understanding of the e-commerce field and Ai Faner Company. She felt that this was really a rare opportunity. She will definitely cherish the opportunity.
"Mr. Xu, I have something I don't understand and I want to ask you for advice." Yuqing asked Mr. Xu.
"Tell me, if there is anything you don't understand, just tell me and I will answer it for you." Mr. Xu asked Yuqing with a smile.
"Why does the same piece of clothing sell well online but not offline? Why can e-commerce help companies get out of crisis?" Yuqing expressed her doubts.
"This is mainly a question of sales radius. We have compiled data and found that the sales radius that an offline store can cover generally does not exceed 3 kilometers, but online is basically not restricted by the sales radius and can connect with consumers across the country and even the world. And it is not limited by time. In addition to the obvious advantages in time and space, offline stores require store rent and personnel have to be paid, which is costly. However, online does not need to consider this issue. After the cost is reduced, the price will be relatively cheap. Moreover, there are no store restrictions online, and all products can be launched simultaneously, making it easier for customers to select and compare, making it more user-friendly. In short, online business has obvious advantages and great potential. Look at our company, as sales channels expand, sales volume increases. As the company's profits increase, the crisis will naturally turn around." Mr. Xu explained with a smile.
"Oh, I understand, thank you." Yuqing thanked Mr. Xu for his patient answer.
"Siyi, what are you doing now? When will you arrive?" Mr. Xu turned to ask Siyi.
"I just graduated from E University this year and am currently looking for a job. I can take up the job at any time." Siyi replied.
"That's great! Get ready and come to work as soon as possible." Mr. Xu suggested to Siyi that the sooner the better. He thought that if Siyi wore the company's clothes and displayed them online, sales would definitely increase significantly.
After Siyi and Yuqing left the commercial building, Siyi couldn't help but look back at the tall skyscraper, as if she had already seen her bright future.
"I'm going to start looking for a job too!" Yuqing saw that Siyi's work was settled, and it was time to prepare for her own job.
"Well, during this period, I have also become an Olympic volunteer and my condition has been adjusted. It's time to enter the next stage." Siyi said to Yuqing with a smile.
"What kind of job are you planning to find?" Siyi asked next.
"I'm still in my old job, but I plan to change my position. I don't want to stay in the marketing department anymore." Yu Qing replied, "I'll check the situation first. I don't know if it's easy to find one."
"Well, come on, you can definitely do it, you are so good." Siyi encouraged Yuqing.
After more than half a month of searching, Yuqing finally found a financial management job at Dayang Securities. She was mainly responsible for clients’ financial management and asset allocation. She no longer needed to do front-line business such as finding clients to open accounts and retaining clients. .
It seems like it's reincarnation again. Yuqing has just been at work for a week, and the country has begun to adjust the stamp duty policy again.
"The Ministry of Finance has adjusted the stamp tax policy for securities transactions, changing the current bilateral collection to unilateral collection, and the tax rate remains at 1‰."
In the first half of this year, the stamp duty has been adjusted from 3‰ to the current 1‰, but the unilateral downward trend has not changed. I wonder whether the Ministry of Finance’s further adjustment to the stamp duty will lead to a decent rebound in the stock market. Given the current economic situation , I guess it’s unlikely, right?Yuqing thought, after all, two days ago, the country had just lowered the benchmark interest rate for RMB loans by 0.27 percentage points to stimulate the economy, but the market had not stabilized, and the Shanghai Composite Index even fell below the 2000-point mark.
Thinking of this, Yuqing looked at the Shanghai Composite Index, which dropped from a high of more than 6000 points a year ago to more than 1000 points now, a drop of nearly 5000 points. It is not a tragedy.
Unexpectedly, the market responded strongly to the stamp duty adjustment this time.After the market opened on Monday, the Shanghai Composite Index rose by more than 9%, the second largest increase since the price limit in 1996; the Shenzhen Component Index reported at 7154.00 points, up 590.93 points, or 9.00%.
This gives hope to the majority of investors who have lost confidence in the stock market.
One weekend not long after Yuqing started working, the company invited the chief analyst to give a financial knowledge lecture to shareholders, and the atmosphere was warm.Yuqing vaguely remembered this passage:
"Why is there a subprime mortgage crisis in the United States far away in the West, and China in the East suffers from it? Why does a person in a Western country take out a loan to buy a house, making a worker in a factory in an Eastern country lose his job? It seems that these two things are impossible to be related. Things are really connected because of finance. Because when an economic crisis occurs in the West, workers will lose their jobs, which will lead to a decrease in purchasing power, causing funds to shrink, and people there will not be able to repay bank loans, which will lead to bankruptcies. They did not Without the ability to purchase our products, our foreign trade companies here will not be able to receive overseas orders. Once orders decrease, so many workers will not be needed to work, so workers will lose their jobs. And a large number of workers in our country have lost their jobs, and their purchasing power has further declined. , demand weakens, and economic growth is bound to slow down. This is the chain reaction of the financial crisis. So when there is a financial problem, it is not only a problem of national economic growth and output changes, but also closely related to each of us. So we will manage our finances in the future When it comes to investment, try to avoid putting all your eggs in the same basket, otherwise, if you encounter a major change, you will lose everything."
Yuqing’s current main job is to provide customers with personalized financial advice based on their risk tolerance and asset volume, and configure corresponding financial products, while also spreading financial knowledge to customers.She feels that the sharp rise and fall of the stock market has a lot to do with the general lack of financial knowledge among the people, so providing financial literacy to customers is something she has an obligation to focus on next.
