Chapter 186: To be honest, there is no money to be made
"This is the payment, you count, I will pack this set of tables and chairs for you immediately, there is a car here, whether you pull it directly to the consignment office, or pull it elsewhere! If you are not in a hurry to go back at night, I will invite you today, let's not eat Western food, I am not used to eating that thing, let's eat it next to it, I guarantee that you will eat this time and think about it next time!" Hong Tao took matters into his own hands, counted the goods, and then invited Boss Wan to the second floor, took out a newspaper bag from the cabinet, and put it on the round table.
"No need to ...... No need to ...... I still have to trouble Mr. Hong with one thing, I have to stay for a few days this time, can this table be stored here first, I will complete the consignment procedures in a few days, and then come to pick it up. Boss Wan was also very refreshing, opened the paper bag and looked at the money inside, and stuffed it into the leather bag he carried.
"That's no problem, you can put it for as long as you want, when you're done, you come over again, let's verify the identity in person, and then pack it." Come, you go to the back to take a shower first, I have hot water here, let's go over after taking a shower, and talk while drinking tea. Hong Tao looked at the sweat of the boss of the neck, and also felt that it was not easy for people to run all the way, and this boss Wan was really good, and he took the initiative to help when moving things, and he did not have the consciousness of being a boss at all.
Taking advantage of Boss Wan's efforts to take a shower, Hong Tao ran to the renovated beauty room on the second floor and took a closer look at the beauty equipment, and then came out again with a little disappointment. These beauty devices and the ones he had seen and used in later generations were not a concept at all. They are just a steam spraying machine, and then add a negative pressure suction function, what colorful light whitening acne rejuvenation skin rejuvenation and light spot function is nothing.
This steam engine turns water into water vapor with sound waves. Then it is heated to a more suitable temperature and then sprayed onto the person's face, which is equivalent to steaming the face in a sauna. The purpose of this is to open the pores on the skin and increase the circulation of capillaries in the skin of the face, and then use the scrub and exfoliation cream to clean the dirt in the pores, and then apply the mask. Nutrients can be absorbed faster, resulting in a whiter, softer, and more radiant appearance. But you can't do it every day. Generally speaking, it is enough for people with dry skin to do it once a week, and twice a week for people with oily skin.
The negative pressure suction function is like a small vacuum cleaner. It's just that the tube is very thin, about the same as a ballpoint pen, and it's a glass tube. There is a small hole in the side wall of this glass tube, when you use it, pinch this small hole with your fingers, and aim the nozzle at the blackheads, acne, pimples and the like on your face, so that it will be cleaned up, and then your fingers will release the small hole. The glass tube naturally leaves the skin easily.
The beauty equipment of this era is not so good, and even foreign countries do not have so many tricks, so the equipment bought this time only has these two functions. The only thing that makes Hong Tao a little relieved is. The painless hair removal machine made in Germany is quite powerful, at least that's what the manual says. Hong Tao roughly understands part of its working principle, mainly using hair follicles to absorb fixed wavelength of light, and then using high-pressure hernia lamps as light sources, artificial gemstones as filters, and using cluster rays to irradiate the skin. Convert light energy into heat energy, which selectively kills only hair follicles without damaging the skin. To achieve fast, painless, permanent hair removal.
For this principle, Hong Tao still agrees, and there is a scientific basis, and the body hair of Europeans and Americans is very heavy, and it is not surprising that they have nothing to study this thing, as for what it looks like, will it affect the use effect because of the different hair colors and structures of Asians and Europeans and Americans, this has to be tried in person to know. And another important point is that although this hair removal machine is said to be painless, it should not stay on the skin for too long, otherwise it will cause skin burns, so the operator must be trained before it can be used.
The remaining big boxes and small boxes are filled with all kinds of skin care products and beauty products, Hong Tao probably opened a few boxes and looked at them, but he didn't see any good or bad, anyway, they were either written in English or Japanese, at least it looked quite bluffing. In fact, Hong Tao doesn't have a good impression of these things at all, in his last life, he and his wife's wages were less than half and all were spent on these things, but after the age of 4o, the wife who uses these every day doesn't look young like him, who only rubs some Vaseline lotion in winter, well, it's all a lie.
But that's how strange things are in the world, if you take a bottle of makeup and tell a lady how it works and how it works after applying it, she usually doesn't blame you, at most it's the difference between believing it and not believing it. But if you want her to convince that wiping these things doesn't have much effect, or that the effect is not long-lasting, and maybe there are hidden dangers, then the other party must think that you have some ulterior motives, or simply think that you are a psychopath.
So let's say it, sometimes it's better to tell the truth than to tell nonsense, and now Hong Tao plans to be this nonsense person, no matter what grade these foreign brands are, they must be said to be things used by European and American nobles and Japanese royal families, so that the price has to go up several times. Don't be too expensive, this can't be used openly, you must be a customer who has a membership card to be eligible to use it, and the rest of the people, you can only use Hong Kong-made products.
Although the effect is not necessarily better than those foreign goods, but the bottle does not have a little foreign text, it must not be high-end, this is not that Hong Tao has to guide customers like this, but customers think so. If you want to make money, if you want to make customers happy, then you have to follow them, otherwise you won't be able to earn money, and you will offend people, what do you call this! If you don't cheat people, you become bad people, and if you don't make money, you will be scolded!
When eating in the Zhangjiafu restaurant at night, Boss Wan's eyes are not enough, just this room of old objects, let him eat enough, although most of those things are Republic of China goods, and even imitated during decoration, but for him, this pure mallet, is still very enjoyable.
"Mr. Hong, you are really interesting here, although I am also a rough person, but since I was a child, I have been influenced by my father, I also prefer this style of furniture, I used to look at one or two pieces and I don't feel anything, but a room with a match, it is still very imposing! I will definitely bring my father here next year, after he sees this, he will definitely not want to go back, and this uncle cooks the dishes...... How to say it, it can't be said that it is delicious or not, this should be a work of art, what a thin knife it takes to cut tofu into such thin strips!"
In addition to these old furniture, Boss Wan is also full of praise for Grandpa Dajiang's cooking skills, he can't figure it out, how this old man used a kitchen knife to cut a piece of tofu into filaments, these filaments are not an exaggeration to say, each can be threaded into the needle hole of a large sewing needle, the soup made with this tofu shred, looks like a layer of fog, only to know that it is a filament, and you can't eat anything in your mouth, because these tofu shreds have been fed with chicken soup and pork bone soup for more than three hours.
With a stomach and a glance of nostalgia, Boss Wan left the small building in a leisurely manner. His meal is very good, but the amount of wine is very average, just drank two taels of Moutai wine with the second master, and he was already blushing, with a thick neck, a lot of words, and a short tongue, which may be the reason why they don't drink this kind of high alcohol very much.
"Second master, do you know anyone who is an accountant?" Seeing that Boss Wan got into the taxi he packed, Hong Tao and the second master returned to the second floor, the time was not early, and he planned to go home after chatting a few words.
"Accountant? You can't count it at this point? I can also help you calculate, see it, I can still remember this thing!" The second master ate beautifully at night, his interest was very high, and he took out an old abacus to compare and compare, this thing was built when collecting old furniture, and the second master saw that it was a good workmanship, so he stayed.
"I don't dare to let you be my bookkeeper, counting my shares will be in your pocket, I can't afford to use it. And I'm going to use a membership card in the future, and I have to use it in several shops, so it's a lot of work for this reconciliation, and I have to find someone to be responsible, and you don't want to wear reading glasses all day long, and sit here to settle accounts for me, right?" Hong Tao didn't take what the second master said seriously, when he was a child, it was not a fuel-efficient lamp, even if he could use an abacus, it was estimated that it was a primary school abacus level.
"Then I'll have to ask you, will you retire? Do you remember the old man who used to come here and talk to me about raising goldfish? The one who always had two pens pinned to his jacket pocket. "The second master is really in contact with the three religions and nine streams, and everyone who likes flowers, birds, fish, insects, antiques, calligraphy and paintings has them, these people still form a small circle of their own, and outsiders can't get in. Although the second master is not a big deal in these circles, he can't stand the fact that he has this gadget shop, and he knows a little bit about everything, so he has a lot of face in these circles.
"His surname is quite strange, I remember, he is an accountant?" Hong Tao remembered this old man, he looked very old-fashioned, whether it was winter or summer, his clothes were neatly dressed, and there were always two pens pinned to his jacket pocket, originally Hong Tao thought he was a retired old cadre.
"Well, he used to be an accountant in a shopping mall, and he is no longer retired, his wife left a few years ago, and his children are also working, so he is alone at home every day. He doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to socialize, so he was so bored that he raised a big vat of goldfish, and I asked him that day to see if he would like to come here to be a shopkeeper for you, and it was really not even better, better than being stuffy at home. The second master felt a little sure. (To be continued)
