188 deserted
"How's business going today?" said the old bell as he stepped through the door and asked the guy at the counter.
The guy was lying on the counter and napping, but when he heard this, he quickly stood up and shook his head with a bitter face, "It's not good, it's getting more and more deserted, there were only seven customers in one day yesterday, and one person came in after three poles today, and after a look, he finally left without buying anything." It's not a way to go on like this, the shopkeeper has just opened, and it is not far from closing the door. "The man was worried, worried.
Another guy was even more aggrieved, "Now people are really, on the opening day, they saw us signing and giving away things for nothing, and they couldn't break our threshold one by one, and now they don't give away for nothing, and they turn their faces one by one, in addition to not buying, they also muttered one by one that they dislike our things too expensive, a box of one or two silver, it's almost like grabbing! But our cost is there, don't we only make money if we don't make money?"
The old bell raised his eyes and looked around the front and back, the man was right, the situation is really not good, just a few days after the opening, the explosion of the firecrackers that day seemed to be still ringing in the ears, and the strings of red lanterns at the door were still fluttering in the wind, but this business was really deserted, which made people feel cold.
Who is to blame?
Blame yourself for not being good at business?
Blame the guys for not working hard enough?
Blame the store decoration for not being luxurious and gorgeous enough to attract attention?
Or is it because the location of the store is not good, and the customer flow is not large?
Not really.
It can only be said that the things they sell are too peculiar, everyone is far from accepting, of course, it is okay to give it away for free, when it opened, it was given away for free, and the people who signed for free almost stepped on the threshold, if it were not for the prestige of the king of fish, I was afraid that the old bell would not be able to gain a foothold here; After all, people are very practical, buying things is generally indispensable for food and clothing, who has spare money to buy what health care products, and it is so expensive, isn't it enough to eat and support.
Old Zhong scratched his head in annoyance.
The little grandmother's idea doesn't seem to be very bright, the business is so cold, I'm afraid that the little money left, not to mention paying the rent of the store, will soon not even be able to pay the guy's commission.
He waved his hand at the guy in distress, looked at the white cabinets and white boxes on the left, and then looked at the counter on the right, it was jet black, and the guy on the counter was openly dozing there.
What about the king of fish? Why don't you see him?
"Go to Nuanhe to buy glue fish, recently everyone is lucky, someone keeps hitting the glue fish, the king of fish said how much he buys, the price of the king of fish is much higher than Jiuxiang, everyone is willing to sell the glue fish to him. ”
A shopkeeper said with a smile.
Old Zhong frowned secretly when he looked at this guy, the fisherman changed his career to become a shopkeeper, and the decoration changed, but there was still a fishy smell in his breath when he spoke.
When is it and you're still happy?
Your king of fish is still buying glue fish, and the price is so high, the business is cold, what is the way out of more pills?
Lao Zhong was very dissatisfied in his heart.
Suddenly, he turned his head and glared at the fisherman: "Where did your king of fish buy the glue fish?"
"You took it from me, he said it was your intention. Didn't you tell me in person that you could get money for him at any time without your consent, so the little one did it, what's the problem?"
The one who asked was the chauffeur that Lao Zhong brought out from Lingzhou Mansion and changed his career.
"No problem, Dahu, you did the right thing, I agreed. The old bell waved his hand in distress, but he was in a worse mood, "How much did he have?"
"One thousand taels. ”
The old clock almost jumped up and scolded his mother.
But he has always been steady, but his body suddenly softened, and he almost fell on his head, and the big tiger sensed that something was wrong, and quickly ran over to help him sit down on the stool to rest.
"And how much silver do we have left on our books?"
"Excluding the three-month rent of the store, all the decoration costs, the cost of purchasing tables and chairs, plus the money for buying medicinal herbs, and the employment fees of the guys, all up to the front and back, a total of more than 4,900 taels was spent, and the money for buying glue fish in front of me was more than 300 taels in total, and it was promised that it would be cashed out tomorrow - now there are less than 3,000 taels left on the books. "The big tiger man looks honest, but his brain is easy to use, and his account is clear and refreshing, without mud and water.
Old Zhong suddenly stood up with a snort, "No, I have to discuss with him, I can't be defeated like this." ”
By the warm river, the king of fish hurried over with a big hat.
"What, you told me to stop the acquisition immediately? What do you mean?" The king of fish crossed his hands on his hips, with a fishy smell, very puzzled and unconvinced, and questioned Lao Zhong in turn.
Lao Zhong took a step back, avoiding the fishy smell on his body, "I have already lost more than 5,000 silver, it is the silver of the white flowers, it is the money of the lord who flowed out of our mansion, and now I will lose it like this, how can I explain to the master when I go back? I can't afford to lose my life-"
"We are doing business, how can we lose money? Such a good and unique deal, are you really worried that we will lose?"
The king of fish asked with a smile.
Lao Zhong saw the hearty laughter on the other party's handsome face, and his heart was fierce, he couldn't wait to raise his hand and slap him a few times, when did he still laugh?
It's still a separate business, and if it goes on, it's time for me to go back to see my lord with my bare butt -- obediently, when I came, I pulled a whole cart of good things, all of which are valuable things, and even in a cannibalistic place like a pawnshop, I can easily exchange out nine thousand taels of silver for nothing--Do I have the face to go back empty-handed and tell my lord that I came back, lost all my things, and now I come back empty-handed.
"Hand over the 1,000 taels you withdrew today, we can't invest any more, the more we invest, the more rotten we will be—"
Old Zhong pleaded with a bitter face.
The king of fish raised his hand to wipe his face, this cold day, he actually touched a handful of stinky sweat, and looked at the sad old man in front of him with a smile, "What are you afraid of? Isn't there a big man supporting the sky when it falls? There is also your little grandmother on top, the idea of opening a store is her originality, selling health care products is her originality, and those things are also taken out by her to speak, what are you afraid of, go back to the master and ask you to tell him directly that his daughter-in-law is defeated, and then he will find his daughter-in-law to settle accounts." ”
In the past few days, everyone has been doing business in one store, and the king of fish has already learned the general situation of Liufu from the mouth of the big tiger, especially the ins and outs of the little woman's dumb aunt, he knows it clearly.
"Why, I don't believe in your little grandmother so much, she is such a strange woman, she has done so many strange things, so I believe her, since she said that I can make money in this business, then I will do this business honestly-maybe I will make a fortune in the end!" he kept giggling, and leaned in front of the old clock with a big face.
Lao Zhong was stunned, and his heart was entangled for a while, thinking about the experience of accompanying the little woman all the way out. Walking all the way, he maintained full respect for her, no contempt, no slackness, when she respected as many adult masters in the house, it was not that he was a gentleman, but that he was old and serious, to put it mildly, he was cunning and cunning, and he was sophisticated.
Don't bully the young man to be poor, don't look at that little woman from a humble background and an embarrassing identity, in fact, thinking in the long run, who knows if the Liufu will fall into the hands of this young grandmother in the future?
Although the old lady has not openly admitted it, some of the skills shown by the little grandmother in a short period of time should not be underestimated.
Lao Zhong shook his head in annoyance, then, then believe it again?
Is it true that in the end there will be customers who will come to buy their stuff, will business really boom, will it really make a lot of money?
He really couldn't see where the hope was.
The old bell dragged back with heavy steps.
The fish king looked at the old back and shook his head, his face that had been smiling showed a touch of sadness, and he shook his head and sighed at the gray sky in the distance: You, where are you now, you little woman, do you know how many people's livelihoods and fates are involved in your decision?
In fact, he was not sure whether this business would get better in the end, he just wanted not to let himself fall like the old clock, so he gritted his teeth in front of the old clock.
How long will it last?
