I do beauty in Jianghu

Chapter 14 4. The Bottom Line

In order to avoid lack of strength in the early stage, blatantly promoting pearl ointment without authorization will cause hostility from peers and further attack, so they should not be too high-profile in the past 20 days, after all, their arms cannot hold back their thighs.

But watching one person after another come to inquire, and then leave after learning that it is out of stock, it is like watching white money flowing away, Bai Muxi is indescribably sad.

Liu Chuyun couldn't think of a good solution for a while, so she could only keep asking the other party to wait, but as to whether the other party was interested in waiting, she was really not sure.

Throwing 600 taels in at once, Liu Chuyun couldn't sit still at home anymore, and has been discussing with Bai Muxi for the past few days, is there any good way to keep those who come to inquire during the 20-day blank period? guests.

In the end, the discussions came and went, but Qi Ming said, "You can ask them to pay the deposit first."

After the material is over, it will be delivered directly to your door.

Bai Muxi frowned slightly: "I thought about this method, but we are a small family with no guarantee at all. How can we persuade the other party to trust us and hand over the deposit?"

Liu Chuyun nodded: "That's right, what if someone pays the money and goes to the government in a few days to sue us for cheating money?"

Qi Ming raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's useless to worry about these things. Since the other party is Miss Liu, Miss Liu and even Liu's family are the guarantors. If the customer is willing to pay a deposit, they will issue a receipt, and the payment will be collected based on the receipt. , you can't keep all the guests who come to the door, but one is one."

"You have nothing else to do right now."

Bai Muxi was still a little hesitant, he didn't have any reputation to guarantee, but if he wanted to use Liu Chuyun or even the name of the Liu family as a guarantee, it made him very worried, if he was careless, the Liu family would be dragged into the water...

Qi Ming reminded him: "Miss Liu is already in the game, whether you want it or not, the other party's coming to find Miss Liu to get the goods is because of part of their trust in the Liu family."

Liu Chuyun didn't have much opinion on using her own reputation as a guarantee, but the thought of involving her father made her a little cautious.

Qi Ming looked at them helplessly, "Why, after you received the deposit, are you really planning not to give the other party the goods?"

Bai Muxi and Liu Chuyun said in unison: "Of course not."

Qi Ming: "Then what are you afraid of? The people who paid the deposit dare to trust you, but you can't trust yourself?"

The two were speechless.

Qi Ming: "Don't think about it too much. If there is a problem with the money, the Liu family will be dragged into the water. If there is a problem with the goods, the source is only the two of you. Even Miss Liu can put it aside, it is only Bai Muxi's problem."

After all, Liu Chuyun paid the money, Bai Muxi shipped the goods, and Fang Zi is still in the hands of Bai Muxi.

Liu Chuyun was a little embarrassed by Qi Ming's words. Since it was cooperation, she was naturally not afraid of getting involved, but she knew that only by saying this could she dispel Bai Muxi's concerns.

He is too afraid of dragging others down, especially those who treat him well.

After such an agreement, Liu Chuyun told them that if they came to the door again, if they were really interested, they could pay a deposit first, and when the goods arrived in a few days, they would be delivered to their door immediately.

As expected by the three, as soon as the reservation method was opened, many people retreated after hearing the news. They hadn't seen anything yet, and they had to pay five taels of deposit first. A small self-employed person looks like a liar no matter how you look at it.

It's been three days, and there are fourteen or five people who came to ask, but they didn't have a deposit to start.

It was as expected, so there was nothing to be depressed about. Bai Muxi even felt in the mood to go to the cloth store to make new clothes for Qi Ming. Although money is tight now, Bai Muxi felt that things could be tight, but his mood could not be tight. He looked at Qi Ming wore that coarse cloth all day long, and felt a little distressed, so he used a ruler to measure his figure, and then went to a cloth shop to order a set of dark red cotton silk long clothes.

Why choose dark red?

Because this suit happens to be on sale.

Holding the new clothes in his hand, Bai Muxi sighed in his heart. He said before that he would eat braised pork for Qi Ming, but now it is good, and the clothes should be cheap, but although they are cheap, they feel good.

Qi Ming was standing outside the door waiting for him. Seeing him taking his clothes, the two walked back together.

When passing by the market, he saw a long queue in a store, and Bai Muxi was curious, so he also went to have a look.

I asked the people who lined up, and said that the freshly made osmanthus cakes in this store are amazing, but unfortunately they only sell [-] copies a day, and the store is closed when they are sold out, no matter it is morning or evening, so people who come here to buy osmanthus cakes come here every day. It's a long queue.

The store specially placed a sign at the door, counting from one hundred, selling one copy, flipping a sign.

Bai Muxi stood among the crowd for a while, smelling the aroma of pastries from such a distance, envious of the prosperity of this shop, but at the same time felt that it was nothing interesting, he was only interested in meat.

But as soon as he got out of the crowd, he saw some noise in front of him. It turned out that a person in front of the queue was walking back happily after buying osmanthus cake, when he was suddenly stopped by a servant.

"Brother, do you sell this sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

The man was stunned: "I just bought it for my wife, what are you selling?"

The servant who stopped him was sweating, and said eagerly: "I'm really sorry, the main reason is that my lady wants to eat this sweet-scented osmanthus cake too much today, but, but it's late, I see that there are only a dozen yuan left on the sign , I’m afraid I won’t be able to line up now, so I beg you, can you sell it to me?”

The man hesitated.

The servant said anxiously: "This sweet-scented osmanthus cake costs three taels, and I'll give you six taels, is that okay?"

The man still hesitated, after all, he had been in the queue for a long time.

The servant gritted his teeth: "Ten taels! Is that okay? Please, please!"

When the man heard it, he nodded immediately: "Okay."

The two paid the money and the goods on the spot, the servant quickly ran away holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and the remaining person took ten taels of silver and happily squeezed out of the crowd.

Bai Muxi: "Wow... so exaggerated?"

Someone beside him laughed: "What's the matter, I meet this kind of person every day, there is no way, what they make is delicious, and they don't accept custom orders, no matter which rich or noble family you are, you will always line up."

Bai Muxi walked out of the crowd, pulled Qi Ming back, and couldn't help feeling: "Look, people say that businessmen are humble, but it's really booming, and some people are supporting you."

Qi Ming smiled lightly, noncommittal.

Bai Muxi walked halfway, and suddenly stopped, as if thinking of something: "Hiss..."

He looked back at Qi Ming, his eyes sparkled slightly: "Can we... give it a try?"

Qi Ming thought of this method earlier than him, and seeing that he thought the same as himself, he smiled lightly: "You start from scratch, there is nothing you can't try."

Bai Muxi immediately went back to discuss with Liu Chuyun, and Liu Chuyun also felt that he could give it a try, so next time someone came to ask Liu Chuyun, on the premise of introducing pearl ointment, Liu Chuyun hinted at the other party intentionally or unintentionally. some.

The general idea is that the quantity of this pearl paste is small, and the production period is too long. Many people have already made reservations. If you hesitate for a while, there may not be a few boxes left.

Liu Chuyun hinted very implicitly, Bai Muxi told her thousands of times, don't speak too aggressively, he is still a little thin-skinned, for fear that the other party will find out that they are trying to induce him to pay, in case the result is not satisfactory if he turns around , It is inevitable to live up to the trust of others.

In short, let’s be honest, everything depends on the other party’s decision.

In this way, although no one has made a decision after two days, it still has some effect. After listening to it, these people hesitated more than before, which gave the two of them a glimmer of hope.

Bai Muxi began to walk around the market and shops non-stop, observing the methods they used to attract customers. Naturally, no one would tell him these methods, and he had to figure it out by himself.

At the same time, Liu Chuyun is also actively looking for a way. She is a young lady after all, and guests who want to see her cannot come at any time, and they all need to make an appointment in advance.

At this time, someone gave Liu Chuyun a suggestion, but this suggestion broke through her reserve and pride. Thinking more about the support her father gave her when she paid for it that day, Liu Chuyun gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and bought it before she found it. After using pearl cream, you can confirm the efficacy of pearl cream, and girls who have a good relationship with themselves.

When a new customer makes an appointment with her, she invites her friend to come over in advance, pretending that she is also here to buy pearl cream. When the customer comes, she sees the old customer who bought it in the past, which has a certain degree of persuasion to her psychologically.

So the first deposit was born.

Holding the deposit, Liu Chuyun and Bai Muxi blushed while being happy.

Liu Chuyun is also a person who cares about face. He never dared to speak too much, and he was embarrassed for a long time because of this. He didn't dare to lie. When looking for friends, he only dared to find friends who had bought pearl ointment and were sure that its efficacy was very good. In this way, I still feel that I have deceived others.

Father Liu laughed. The thin skins of these young people are rare in today's business world, so he explained to them, "What did you lie to him? This is just a means. The effect of pearl ointment is real. Yuner's friend bought It’s true that she’s used it before, you just invited her to come over and testify for you in front of new customers.”

"Guests come to the door and explain that they want and need it, and some of them are even urgently needed, such as what Yuner once did. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have been reborn, but they gave up due to various other factors. The method is just to give them a reason to buy, and your wording is not excessive, and there is no deliberate deception, so there is no need to feel too guilty."

Mother Liu also said: "Everything has two sides, it depends on how to judge, your pearl ointment is fake and will harm others, then you are cheating! Not only guilt, but also guilt. But as long as your things are To be honest, this is not a deception, but a trick and means."

Liu Chuyun and Bai Muxi listened very carefully.

Liu's father stroked his beard and said earnestly: "When doing business and dealing with money, you must avoid one thing. In any case, you must not violate the bottom line of morality and conscience, do not touch fakes, and do not harm others. As long as you firmly abide by these two points, then others There is nothing to be afraid of, you and Mu Xi are kind-hearted children, the business world is ups and downs, and the waves are rough, I hope you will keep this bottom line in mind no matter how far you go on this road."

Liu Chuyun and Bai Muxi's eyes shone with hope, and they nodded heavily.
