Chapter 446 Marketing Master

Chapter 446 Marketing Master

Tong Huaqiong asked in surprise: "Inspired by me?"

Master Wen smiled and said, "Yes, when Taohua Dessert opened, you put up a big sign saying that it was the same kind of pastry that Governor Yao liked to eat. This same kind of pastry has since become the ace pastry in our store. I wonder if I can also use this idea... The chefs in our bakery are all skilled, and they will definitely show their best skills at this moment. I thought that instead of thinking about new pastry recipes, it would be better to think about how to make pastries sell better, so I thought of the sign on the opening day..."

I have to say that Master Wen has learned very well and has even surpassed his teacher.

Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "So you went to Wanliu Academy to find Jingzhe, and then found Miss Lu to jointly organize activities?"

Gu Jingzhe can use the title of the top candidate. After all, it is his own business. He will definitely agree and help write the copy.

The title of Young Master of the Lu family needs to be authorized by the Lu family.

Master Wen nodded and said, "Thanks to the Third Young Master for supporting me and helping me write the sign. I also want to thank Miss Lu. I originally said that I could save a few cents on rouge or scented soap by using the receipt for the lotus cake, but Miss Lu offered to give it to me directly, saying that if her brother really won the first place in the imperial examination, it would be a happy event and she would have to spend money to celebrate."

"And boss, I've calculated that I made 200 pieces of hibiscus cakes. If the young master of the Lu family wins the first place in the imperial examination, he can get a 20% discount on snacks in the store based on his record of buying hibiscus cakes. We will still make a profit. Even if it's just for this win, I can't harm the overall interests of the store."

Master Wen told Tong Huaqiong the costs and profits.

Very good, she has already realized the cost control.

"And Su Pingting's butterfly cakes."

"I have already made an agreement with Miss Su, and we will give her a commission by using her name. Those who buy the same butterfly cakes as Miss Su are all young men, so we set the price a little higher. Even if we give Miss Su 30% of the cake, we will still make a profit. Miss Su is very willing for us to use her name for the cakes. She said that serving a man with beauty will not last long, and we should make money while we can."

If Master Wen hadn't mentioned Su Pinting, Tong Huaqiong would have forgotten that Master Wen had even not spared Tianxiang Tower.

Tianxianglou was a legal place in this era, but most people didn't want to have anything to do with it.

However, Master Wen was able to think of the idea of ​​co-branding the top brand of Tianxianglou and earn money from the rich young man, which shows that she is flexible and not rigid in doing business.

This is exactly the same method that Tong Huaqiong used in Yanguan Town to open up the birthday cake market by targeting the girls in Tianxianglou to celebrate their birthdays.

This further proves that Master Wen’s abilities are not only in the bakery, he is also a potential marketing master.

She just wants to train her own talents and then distribute them to various businesses in the future.

I see hope in Master Wen.

Tong Huaqiong looked at Master Wen with satisfaction, and then looked at Shopkeeper Sun.

In her heart, Master Wen is the best candidate to be the manager of the bakery, but he also has to show respect to the shop owner.

Shopkeeper Sun nodded repeatedly, and this time he sincerely admired Master Wen.

Shopkeeper Sun took the initiative to speak: "Boss, Master Wen has indeed won this competition. I admire you. From tomorrow on, the bakery will be entrusted to Master Wen."

Master Wen assured Tong Huaqiong and Shopkeeper Sun with a solemn expression that he would live up to their trust.

Some of the masters in the baking room accepted their defeat with a sense of conviction, some accepted it with a heart not convinced, and some accepted it neither with a heart nor a mouth.

But none of this matters.

The final result was that Master Wen won, and after winning, everyone had to accept the result that she, a woman, was the manager of the bakery.

Master Wen stood at the door of the bakery and took a deep breath.

This was her first time working as a bakery manager.

She needs to hold steady.

Master Wen’s eyes were determined.

She knew that some people inside still did not accept her.

The employer said that she was hired through a fair and just competition and that she was fully qualified to be the bakery manager.

Then she deserves it.

Looking at the busy figures in the bakery, except for her standing outside, all the others are male chefs.

Master Wen had a bold idea in her mind that she could recruit some girls to be pastry chefs.

Lu Zhaozhao's rouge shop has almost exclusively female employees, and there are also female employees at Peach Blossom Desserts, so why not the same in the bakery.

There were many poor girls living around the city, and most of them worked as slaves in wealthy families in order to make a living.

Are they unwilling to learn a skill?

Are they born not to learn a craft?

No, the fundamental reason is that some shops are unwilling to recruit female apprentices, and are even less willing to let girls work in the shops.

For example, she had worked in another pastry shop for many years and had good skills, but the boss always made her do the job of sifting flour and could not enter the bakery at all.

If it weren't for Tong Huaqiong, the owner of Taohua Dessert, who allowed her to work in the bakery to make pastries, she wouldn't be where she is today.

If those girls from poor families could learn the craft at Taohua Dessert Bakery, they would surely be grateful and work harder.

Master Wen walked steadily into the bakery while thinking. She first held a meeting with everyone, imitating the boss's example. Then she planned to formulate a reward and punishment system... She no longer cared who opposed her and who supported her.

After working as a manager for a day, Master Wen gained confidence.

"how is today?"

After closing, Tong Huaqiong met Master Wen who was still thinking about the reward and punishment system and started to ask him about it.

Master Wen smiled and said, "It's not as difficult as you might imagine."

Tong Huaqiong gave Master Wen an appreciative look and said, "Some things are not difficult once you start doing them."

Things are originally done by people. Master Song did it, and Master Wen did the same.

Master Wen thought for a moment and said to Tong Huaqiong: "Boss, I have an idea..."

Master Wen told them about his plan to recruit some girls from poor families to be apprentices in the bakery.

Tong Huaqiong understood what Master Wen meant immediately. Now the shopkeeper Sun is the boss of Fucheng Shop, and he may not agree to recruit female apprentices. Master Wen hopes that Tong Huaqiong will support her.

Tong Huaqiong would not do that. She said, "Master Wen, your idea is very good. I support your idea, but I will not force Shopkeeper Sun to agree. After all, this shop is handed over to Shopkeeper Sun, and I, as the owner, cannot ignore Shopkeeper Sun's ideas. You are now the head of the bakery, and you must be able to convince Shopkeeper Sun to follow your ideas. This is just a matter of recruiting female apprentices. In the future, there will be many things that you will need Shopkeeper Sun's support for, and you must learn how to get along with Shopkeeper Sun."

Master Wen thought about it and understood. She put away her smile and said to Tong Huaqiong, "Boss, I understand. I will not overstep my bounds in the future. Sometimes I will definitely discuss this with Shopkeeper Sun first."

Tong Huaqiong said: "It's good that you understand."

No shop owner wants his subordinates to overstep their boundaries, and Shopkeeper Sun is no exception.

From now on, everyone will look for a boss without him. Where will his prestige be?

Master Wen didn’t understand anything on her first day as the manager, so you can teach her.

Fortunately, she understood it immediately after Tong Huaqiong gave her some guidance.
