Chapter 206: I moved the idea of being a star
Seeing that Mao Zhenyang did not take the initiative to greet the two customers, Meng Songhai smiled and said: "Two beauties, our store is newly opened, and all the jade jewelry in the counter is sold at a 20% discount on the marked price. β
One of the more mature-looking female customers smiled and said, "Boss, the discount on the jade jewelry sold in other people's stores is bigger than that in your store?" β
Meng Songhai smiled noncommittally and said: "You can first take a look at the price of various jade jewelry, the jade jewelry sold in our store, the price is clearly marked, the first seven days of opening, 20% off the sale, seven days later, it will be sold according to the marked price, and the counteroffer is declined." β
The two female customers looked at each other and smiled, and after a moment, they looked down at the jade jewelry placed on the counter.
Meng Songhai didn't say anything, sat down, picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully.
After a while, the female customer who had just spoken to Meng Songhai said, "Boss, come here, we want to see these bracelets." β
Meng Songhai hurriedly put down the teacup, walked over, opened the cabinet, and took out the four jade bracelets that the customer asked to see.
Meng Songhai smiled and introduced: "You have a good eye, the price of these four bracelets is relatively low, and after a 20% discount, the price is very favorable." β
The two female customers took a closer look at the four bracelets and tried them on, asking each other for their opinions.
After a while, the younger-looking woman spoke: "Boss, we all want these four bracelets, on the basis of eight folds, let's get one more diΗn cheaper." β
When Meng Songhai took the bracelet just now, he wrote down the price of the bracelet, and when he heard the customer bargaining with him, he smiled and said: "The total price of the four bracelets is 7,000 yuan, and the price after the discount is 5,060...... For the sake of you being beautiful women, I sold it to you for 5,000 yuan, this is a fixed price, don't make an offer to me again. β
The older woman smiled and said, "Handsome man, this sister of mine doesn't have a boyfriend yet, if you like her, I can help you pursue her." β
A flush suddenly appeared on the younger woman's face, and she said angrily, "Sister Xi, what are you talking nonsense." β
Meng Songhai smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend." Five thousand dollars, that's the lowest price, think about it. β
The two female customers glanced at each other, age β«dΗngβ«diΗnβ« Xiao β« said, .β¨.Β€os_(); The smaller diΗndiΗn head, the older woman spoke, "Five thousand yuan, we want it, help us put the four boxes together." β
Mao Zhenyang, who was standing next to Meng Songhai, hurriedly took four small boxes containing bracelets and put the bracelets in the boxes.
The older woman took out a purse from her sky-blue leather handbag, pulled out ten large bills with a denomination of HK$500, and placed them on the counter.
Meng Songhai picked up the money, counted it, and after making sure that the money was real, he smiled and said, "It's just five thousand yuan." β
After completing the transaction, the older woman put all four bracelets in the box into her handbag.
"Two beauties, goodbye." Meng Songhai smiled.
"Handsome boss, goodbye." The older woman smiled and waved her hand, and led her companion out of the Tiangong Jewelry Store.
After the two customers left, Mao Zhenyang looked at Meng Songhai with a smile and said, "Boss, you are too powerful." I was asked to take care of those two customers, and they probably won't buy them. β
"In the future, when we talk, we will speak more Cantonese, so that we can quickly improve our Cantonese speaking skills. In fact, it is quite simple to receive female customers, with a sweet mouth, when you see a young girl, you praise her for being beautiful, and when you see an older girl, you say that she is young and temperamental, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. β
Mao Zhenyang said, "I'll study hard." β
Meng Songhai opened the safe, took out four bracelets from it, and made up for the four bracelets that had just been sold on the counter.
"Zhenyang, the jade jewelry I just bought, you remember, you are staying in the store now, I'll go to the door."
Meng Songhai walked out of the jewelry store and stood at the door, watching the people coming and going on the street, he thought it was quite interesting.
Less than ten minutes later, a man and woman in their thirties walked into Tiangong Jewelry Store, and Meng Songhai hurriedly followed in and greeted the two guests.
These two customers were very slow to pick jade jewelry, and Meng Songhai patiently entertained them.
When Meng Songhai took out a jade pendant from the counter, Qin Cuiliang came to the jewelry store again.
"Zhenyang, you can entertain me." Meng Songhai put the pendant on the counter, said in a low voice, walked a few steps, and greeted with a smile, "Sister Liang, you are here." β
"Handsome guy, I don't know your surname yet." Qin Cuiliang smiled.
"Don't be surnamed Meng, Meng Songhai." Meng Songhai said.
"Meng, this surname is good, Mengshi is the descendant of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, who helped Qin Shi Huang destroy the Six Kingdoms and unify China, and there are many generals surnamed Meng to help."
"Sister Liang, do you like to read history books?" Meng Songhai asked curiously.
"I flipped through a few books while I was reading." Qin Cuiliang smiled slightly, and took out seven stacks of 500 Hong Kong dollar bills from her handbag, "Three hundred and fifty thousand, you count." β
"Wait a minute."
Meng Songhai brought the diΗn banknote machine, counted the money, and after making sure that the number was correct, he took out the two pieces of jade jewelry in Qin Cuiliang's photo just now.
Qin Cuiliang carefully looked at the two pieces of jade jewelry, and after making sure that it was correct, she stayed directly on her body, put away the two boxes, and put them in her handbag.
"Sister Liang, when are you free?"
Qin Cuiliang glanced at Meng Songhai with a smile and asked, "Want to invite my sister to dinner?" β
"yes!"
"You're not even twenty-three, aren't you?"
"Not yet." Meng Songhai smiled, "Sister Liang, don't think that my purpose is not pure, I just want to invite you to a meal." To tell you the truth, I am from the mainland, and I have just come to Hong Kong not long ago, and I want to meet more friends. β
"Are you a mainlander?" A curious expression appeared on Qin Cuiliang's face, "How did you start a jade business?" β
"It's a long story, if you accept my invitation, I'll talk to you about it when it's time to eat."
"Okay." Qin Cuiliang responded with a smile, thought for a moment, and said, "I have something to do tonight and tomorrow night, and the night after tomorrow, my sister will invite you to eat Western food, okay?" β
"If you treat yourself and I pay for it, then it's o."
"Okay, you pay." Qin Cui said happily, "Okay, I won't talk to you, I have something to leave." The day after tomorrow around five in the afternoon, I will come here to pick you up. β
Meng Songhai hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, see you the day after tomorrow." β
"Bye-bye!"
After Qin Cuiliang left, the other two customers in the store were still choosing jade jewelry.
After more than half an hour, the two customers selected five pieces of jadeite jewelry to buy, with a total price of HK$23,000, and after some bargaining, they finally sold for HK$17,000.
After the customer left, Meng Songhai looked at the time, looked at Mao Zhenyang and said, "Zhenyang, it's not early, you go out and find a restaurant nearby for lunch, and help me bring a fried rice noodles." β
"Boss, is one fried pho enough?"
"That's enough."
"Oh, then I'm out."
After Mao Zhenyang went out, Meng Songhai saw that there were no customers in the store, and he was bored, so he picked up the guitar he bought two days ago and played and sang to himself.
"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword, looking at the prosperity of the world, my young heart was always a little frivolous, and now you are a ...... all over the world"
After singing a song, Meng Songhai saw Li Wancai standing at the door of the store with a smile on his face.
"Brother Li," Meng Songhai stood up and greeted with a smile, "Come in and have a cup of tea." β
Li Wancai walked in, glanced at Meng Songhai with a smile, and said, "Brother Meng, I didn't expect you to be so talented!" β
"So-so." Meng Songhai said modestly.
"Which singer sang this song you sang just now, next time I go to the mainland, I'll buy a record of him and listen to it."
"Huh!" Meng Songhai smiled, "You want to buy his records, it's too difficult." β
"Why?" Li Wancai was puzzled, "Could it be that he hasn't released a record yet?" β
"I created it." Meng Songhai said cheekily.
This song "Once and Present You" is Xu Wei's work, in Meng Songhai's memory, it will be about eight years before Xu Wei will release his first album, maybe Xu Wei has begun to create music works now, but his reputation is not yet obvious, he doesn't think Xu Wei will create this work now.
"Really?" Li Wancai was surprised.
Meng Songhai smiled diΗndiΗn head, changed the topic and asked, "Have you had lunch?" β
"Not yet, I'm going to the restaurant with you for lunch." Li Wancai smiled, "What about Zhenyang?" β
"I asked him to go out to dinner, and later, he will help me bring takeout."
"Oh!" Li Wancai smiled, "What is the name of that song just now?" β
"Once Upon a Time." Meng Songhai smiled and said, "Brother Li, do you know someone who works in a record company and wants to help me promote this song for my record company?" β
"I don't know." Li Wancai shook his head and said, "However, your idea is quite good." You can pitch the song to the record label yourself...... I think you sing very well, you can write songs, and it's not difficult for you to sign a contract with a record company. When you become a singer, your fans know that you run a jewelry store and they want to buy jade jewelry, they will definitely come to take care of your business, and when the time comes, your business will definitely be very good. β
"I thought about it." Meng Songhai smiled faintly, before, he had really thought about this problem, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.
"Since someone has sent you outside, then I'll go eat first, bye."
"Bye-bye!"
After saying goodbye, Li Wancai left.
Meng Songhai plucked the strings, played for a while, and said secretly in his heart: "I have a lot of lyrics and tunes of classic songs in my head, I will make them out in advance and release a few records, as long as I am willing to spend the cost of making a product, and then promote it well, it will be difficult to ...... if it is not popular."
Before the rebirth of the tenth generation, when he leaned over for the ninth time, Song Songhai was attached to a star who was both a powerful faction and an idol, this person debuted as a singer, created a lot of well-known songs, released a few records, and became a popular fried chicken in the music industry, after that, he set foot in the film and television industry, participated in several TV series with good ratings, and several movies that sold at the box office.
may be affected by the memory of this star, Meng Songhai at this time especially wants to become a big star.
"In the future, I will become the richest person in the world and become a big star, is it necessary?"
Meng Songhai didn't make up his mind for a while, thought for a while, and said secretly: "If you are not a singer, you can be a songwriter, write lyrics, compose music, and write movie scripts...... Now that I'm in Hong Kong, let's set up an entertainment company. β
Meng Songhai was stunned for a while, and Mao Zhenyang returned to the jewelry store with two boxes of fried pho.
"Boss, I've bought the fried pho." Mao Zhenyang greeted.
After Meng Songhai came back to his senses, he smiled and said, "How does it taste?" β
"It looks delicious, I haven't tasted it yet." Mao Zhenyang said, placing a box of pho and disposable chopsticks on the counter.
Meng Songhai lifted the lid of the disposable lunch box, broke the chopsticks, picked up the pho, tasted it, and said lightly: "The taste is very ordinary." β
"I think it's delicious." After Mao Zhenyang tasted the fried rice noodles, he expressed different opinions.
"Everyone's tastes are different." Meng Songhai smiled, after eating a few bites of fried pho, he felt that it had a diΗn taste, put down his chopsticks, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.
"After dinner, we went to the supermarket together and bought two lunch boxes, as well as chopsticks and spoons, which are not hygienic."
Mao Zhenyang smiled and said, "Boss, I don't think eating in a restaurant is unhygienic." β
"The hygienic conditions of small restaurants are worse than diΗn, and high-grade restaurants generally do not have too big hygiene problems."
Meng Songhai ate half of it, and then stopped eating.
Mao Zhenyang asked, "Boss, do you want me to go out and help you buy other things to eat?" β
"No need." Meng Songhai said with a smile, "Treat guests to dinner at night, eat well, eat less diΗn at noon, and keep your stomach until the evening to eat a big meal, isn't it?" β
"You don't feel hungry." Mao Zhenyang smiled, "By the way, boss, I saw you in a daze just now, what were you thinking?" β
"Uh......" Meng Songhai groaned for a moment and smiled, "You'll know in a while." β
Mao Zhenyang saw that Meng Songhai was selling Guanzi, smiled slightly, and didn't ask any more.
On the afternoon of the first day of its opening, business was very average, with only three pieces of jadeite jewellery sold, with a total turnover of only HK$2,000.
That night, Meng Songhai set up two tables in the hotel and invited Li Wancai and others to dinner.
After dinner, Meng Songhai returned to his residence and made a phone call to his hometown in the capital.
More than half a month ago, Meng Guoqiang's daughter-in-law Mao Hongmei gave birth to a son prematurely, and two hours before she gave birth, Meng Guoqiang was still on the plane.
On that day, Meng Guoqiang took a plane back to the capital from Chuncheng, got off the plane, did not go home, went straight to the hospital with his luggage, came to the hospital before his wife gave birth to a child, chatted with his parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law and others, and went into the delivery room to accompany his wife.
Before Meng Guoqiang left Ruili, Meng Songhai asked Lu Xinya to close Ruili's Tiangong jewelry store, and let Lu Xinya replace Meng Guoqiang as the general manager of the jade processing factory, and Mao Bowen's wife Zhou Aixian entered the jade processing factory to work and became Lu Xinya's assistant.
