Return To 1977 Chapter 935: Ball case
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
While the "Takeaway Window" was a great success, various measures Hong Yanwu started to implement in order to "establish a professional children's brand image" also produced good results.
The completion of the two table tennis cases at the west end of the store entrance has easily won the children's favor.
You must know that in the era of "little silver **** traveling all over the world", table tennis made great contributions to my country's breakthrough in international political barriers.
As the largest city in the country, the living space of Beijing residents has always been precious.
Of all the sports competitions, only table tennis requires the most limited space and the simplest facilities.
As a result, this sport has extremely strong vitality and mass base.
In fact, even in an era when cultural and sports industries were in decline, table tennis continued to develop due to the universal love of children in the capital.
Whether it is on the playground of a courtyard, a school or a children's palace, the most common scene is that of several children gathered around a brick or earthen table tennis table, taking turns playing with a variety of old and new rackets. Fight.
Some rackets have even been polished and hairless, but it still cannot reduce the happiness and joy that the children get by half.
It’s a pity that even such cheap happiness is limited.
Because compared with groups of children, no matter how many table tennis cases there are, there is still "more food than enough."
When two people play ball, they wish they were surrounded by twenty people.
This results in the ball being short and it is extremely common for three or four children to play together.
In addition, the ball table in the courtyard is held by the older children in the courtyard.
Both the Children's Palace and the school close at midnight, and they will be kicked out if they don't leave.
So in the memory of this generation of children, they rarely had the opportunity to play a few enjoyable table tennis matches when they were young.
Especially on Sundays.
I really want to have fun, but there is almost no other way but to sneak through the cracks in the school fence.
But even if you get in, it will be difficult to succeed.
Because there are always children who cannot restrain themselves from cheering with joy, or quarreling loudly over the outcome of a ball.
As a result, it will soon attract the inspection of the old janitor.
In the end, after escaping from the school in a hurry, I could only find a concrete floor and draw a boundary with chalk.
Then he hunched over his waist and hunched his back, just to have a good time on the ground.
You can imagine how lucky Hong Yanwu was to find people to build these two ball cases in the eyes of the children nearby.
It is almost the same as today's children waking up and finding that a large shopping mall or sports park is going to be built near their home.
But what surprised the children even more was that the case was not over before the bases were set.
In order to make these facilities function correctly and effectively, and truly bring happiness to children.
Hong Yanwu actually made a lot of painstaking arrangements for some specific issues.
For example, in addition to leaving an entrance and exit, the two golf tables are almost completely surrounded by barbed wire surrounding the ceiling.
This will minimize the risk of children running onto the road when picking up balls.
And the regular net used is not replaced by bricks.
The surface of the ball table is not made of cement, but a smooth marble surface, which is considered a luxury version.
For another example, Hong Yanwu also used 60 yuan in gift vouchers per month as a price.
Please ask the neighborhood committee to send an aunt to maintain discipline and coordinate the children's rotation of using the ball table during the noon and afternoon school periods.
Basically, it is based on the method of issuing numbers, and a group of children will come in at 15 minutes at noon and 20 minutes in the afternoon.
This greatly improves the dilemma of having too many children and too few football games.
In addition, in order to prevent older children from bullying younger children, only primary school students are allowed to play during these two periods.
If junior high school students want to play table tennis, they have to wait until after dark.
Don’t worry about lighting. Hong Yanwu installed lights on the ceiling for each ball table.
Although it is not a professional sports lighting and cannot be as bright as daylight, it can still be used.
No child is picky about this these days. It would be better if someone else comes in to avoid the case where only a small number of people are dominating the ball.
As for the arrangement on Sunday, primary school students will be used alternately in the morning and junior high school students in the afternoon.
I'm sorry if older high school students want to play.
In order to take care of the interests and safety of younger children, a sign was hung at the entrance of the ball court stating that entry is prohibited for those over 16 years old.
No need to ask, both adults and children are quite satisfied with these measures.
Because it is not difficult to understand that with such rules and restrictions, it is truly for the benefit of the majority of people.
As soon as the ball table was opened for use, the children nearby loved to run here.
Adults also feel reassured and will not worry too much about children fighting or safety issues.
Of course, because the number of children coming to play ball has increased, they spend time here every day.
Or maybe the playful children don't come home, and adults come looking for them.
In any case, it will drive the sales of cold drinks and snacks in the store. This is also a benign effect that Hong Yanwu expected.
But I have to say that this kid is far more intelligent than that.
He can find owners of huge amounts of money in a small river, but his money-making brain is unmatched by anyone.
No, when expanding the children's product counter.
In addition to adding various popular children's snacks such as fruit peel, egg rolls, yokan, hawthorn cake, apricot plum, jelly beans, sweet rice krispies, beef jerky, bubble gum, etc.
He then thought of table tennis rackets and table tennis balls.
He even had an idea. While decisively purchasing goods, he also hung a sign on the table tennis table.
It states that on the day of Children's Day, the "Polar Bear Day and Night Store" will hold an 11-ball table tennis match here.
The rules are simple:
Children aged 7 to 16 years old can register in advance with their student ID cards.
The competition is divided into three-year-old groups, which are divided into lower group, upper group and middle school group.
Randomly capture opponents, no top three will be selected.
Registered contestants only have one chance to participate, but those who win three times in a row can win the prize.
The prizes are a piece of "Niu Tou" chocolate from "Yili", or six soda tickets from "Polar Bear".
To encourage the promotion of sportsmanship.
Well, this has attracted all the children who saw this notice.
Not to mention that the prizes are very tempting, the key is that the threshold of this rule is not high, and it is obviously for the benefit of the public.
Think about it, as long as you win three people, you will get a prize.
As for the children who feel that their skills are okay, then who wouldn’t be eager to try their luck?
So in the short period of time before the competition, many children consciously started emergency training.
This naturally directly stimulated the sales of table tennis and rackets.
As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
Besides, it may not be so easy to borrow someone else's racket if you don't have one, right?
You must know that people's living radius at that time was very limited, at most one kilometer in diameter, and they would not go far away if nothing happened.
There are no cultural and sports stores near Anlelin, and the "Polar Bear Day and Night Store", which is also the organizer, has an advertisement for racket discounts next to the competition announcement.
Think about it, there are two primary schools and one middle school nearby. Plus the children living nearby, the number of school-age students is probably no less than 3,000.
Let’s just say that half of the people know it, and if one out of five people can come, that would be great.
How could there be no transaction?
Well, in fact, in the ten days before June 1st, the store sold more than 500 rackets.
"Meteor" is 3.2 yuan, "Red Cotton" is 3.5 yuan, and "Double Happiness" is 5 yuan.
On average, each racket can earn 1.2 yuan, and more than 300 "elephant" and "rabbit" table tennis **** have also been sold. This is a profit of 700 yuan.
Looking back at the cost of the prizes, they are only 70 cents per share.
Even if there are two thousand people participating, it will only be three hundred and fifty yuan.
At least double the profit inside and outside!
Is Hong Yanwu’s math skills good?
He has already made a profit before the game even starts.
