Chapter 43: Look at who is willful
"Hey, don't hang this poster yet!" Song Ning thought of a Yan zhΓ²ng question, pulled Ma Lie back to the office, closed the door tightly, and asked sternly: "Boss, let me ask you, do you want to make a deal at a loss, or are you deliberately making money?" β
Ma Lie was stunned and said: "I'm stupid, I must be making money." β
Song Ning said: "Then you bet against the customer, how sure are you that you will definitely bet, is it possible that you are cheating in those ten boxes?" β
Ma Lie smiled bitterly: "Song Ning, you think too simply. We're not stupid, and neither are others. Those ten ordinary boxes, no matter how you get them, if you cheat, people will also see it. β
"Then you're not cheating, and you're betting against customers by your luck?" Song Ning said speechlessly.
Ma Lie said confidently: "Of course, it's my own ability, Song Ning, I'm an expert in pinshi." β
Song Ning rolled his eyes and said: "I know that you have a deep attainment in pinting stones, but what you want to bet on the customer is the goods in the box, which is a very ordinary closed box, not a treasure in the crack of the stone." β
"Don't worry, I have my own opinions!"
"Lord, your head, if you fail, our shop will be finished today!"
"Manager Song, you believe me!" Ma Lie was full of confidence, and decisively ordered Song Ning to have a huge poster hung on the wall on one side of the store.
It didn't take long for the citizens who were watching Shuanglong to play with pearls on the opposite side to be crowded into a panic, and when they looked back, they saw a huge poster suddenly hanging on the faΓ§ade of the neglected 'Liening Jade Shop'.
Shuanglong is good-looking, but there will be times when you get tired of watching it after watching it for a long time, and there are too many people, most of them can only watch it with their feet up, which is thankless.
The two jade shops are separated by more than ten meters, and the content of the huge poster can be seen clearly.
Gradually, some people found that the handsome men and women on the poster or the content below were very attractive, and they came back one after another to stop watching. Looking at the conditions of the bet, you have the opportunity to get your favorite goods for free, which seems to be more attractive than the first-prize BMW car opposite.
Although the reward for BMW cars is very good, there is only one place. In the case of unsure whether there is an inside story or not, it is still unknown whether it can be drawn.
Looking back, the sales methods of this jade shop are different, and most of the opportunities are on the customer's side when gambling with the boss. If you can't guess it, the boss can't guess it, and the baby will be taken away for free, which is similar to pie in the sky.
Moreover, the quality of the goods in Ma Lie's store is almost all high-quality pure white jade, jade agate and other high-end jewelry. Several pieces have reached a price of more than a million. If you can bet on these millions worth of treasures for free, it seems to be better than that BMW.
Seeing that there are more and more customers watching in the store, but most of them are still waiting, after all, the game of betting against the boss is freshly baked, and most people can't understand it, and even if they understand it, they don't quite believe that it's true.
There is no free lunch in the world, everyone understands this truth, there are many people who come into the store to negotiate jade, but no one dares to eat the first crab.
Ma Lie had already thought of this, and at this time he had to use a little trick - 'Tuo' was finally about to appear.
Ma Lie's main purpose in inviting this 'trust' is to eat the first crab, that is, to demonstrate the rules of this gambling game to everyone on the spot, not to deliberately fool and deceive customers.
The person who arranged the trust must be the person he trusts, and Ma Lie thought about it all night before he thought of a few people. The first one was none other than the good brother he had just befriended, Song Qi.
Song Qi has been working in casinos for a long time, and he has long practiced a good acting skills that are unfathomable, calm and confident. It is really condescending for him to be the first male protagonist 'Tuo'.
I saw Song Qi wearing a fitting modern gown, a pair of sunglasses, a hand-cranked fan, and an elegant vassal style and elegant manner. swaggered through the crowd of onlookers, walked into the store to take a look, and soon, Song Qi pretended to take a fancy to a Qing Dynasty porcelain.
"Boss, how do you buy this porcelain?"
"Uh, it's coming!" It may be that he hasn't received a business order for a long time, and when he saw someone wanting to buy something, Song Ning was excited and wanted to shed tears. It's just that she doesn't know that this Song Qi is arranged by Ma Lie.
In order to facilitate this business, Song Ning decided to go out in person and use his best grammar to communicate with Song Qi and recommend it, and in the end, Song Qi decided to buy it for 7,000 yuan.
According to the rules, Song Qi bought more than 1,000 yuan of antiques, so Song Ning recommended him to bet with the boss once. When Song Qi saw the rules of gambling, he was naturally happy to bet with Ma Lie.
According to the interests of both parties, before the VAM, the buyer must first call for one-tenth of the deposit before participating in the VAM. As long as the buyer is successful in the bet, after buying the item for free, the deposit will be returned intact.
This move is mainly to prevent those who are opportunistic.
At first, Song Qi refused to pay the deposit first, Song Ning patiently explained to him, and Song Qi was willing to hand over the deposit of 700 yuan after a long time.
Song Qi paid the deposit, and Ma Lie ordered Li Xiumei to take out the ten identical boxes and come out to Song Qi to check whether there were any traces of cheating.
Song Qi didn't dare to be careless, and checked carefully and carefully, and it was true that all ten boxes were closed. Ma Lie was also afraid that Song Qi would not be able to check it, so he took the initiative to ask other onlookers to check it in person, and determined that the ten boxes were ordinary closed cardboard boxes, and there was only a small hole on them to accommodate the goods.
After the others were invited to check, Ma Lie sat on the chair with his back to the door with Song Qi and waited.
Li Xiumei, who was in the background, was responsible for secretly putting the porcelain that Song Qi liked into one of the boxes, and then put the other nine ordinary items into the nine boxes, so as to prevent others from seeing the weight of the boxes.
In this process, only Li Xiumei knew which box the Qing Dynasty porcelain was placed in.
In order to avoid the possibility of her colluding with Ma Lie to cheat, Li Xiumei herself avoided going backstage. Later, Song Ning was responsible for disrupting the positions of the ten boxes, and in order to avoid hints of possible collusion between her and Ma Lie, Song Ning herself had to avoid it.
Ma Lie and Song Qi turned their backs to the door together, separated by a distance of ten meters. After Song Ning re-shuffled the position of the box, they could officially bet.
Although the process is a bit complicated, most of the onlookers can see it.
Ma Lie's gambling jade activity has taken advantage of the disadvantage, but he is meticulous in the gambling process, and tries his best to make the principle of fairness, justice and openness, so that everyone can rest assured.
Of course, Song Qi himself has no objection, according to the rules, Song Qi is a customer and has the right to choose.
Song Qi chose to guess first, and if he let others choose, most of them would choose to guess first. Because, this pair of gambling activities was proposed by Ma Lie, after all, it is open to do business, and who is idle to do nothing to give away their own things for nothing.
Although the gambling link is very fair and impartial, if you guess first, you will definitely have the first opportunity.
Song Qi decided to guess first, and carefully observed the ten boxes placed on the counter, each of which was exactly the same.
Song Qi racked his brains and thought about it, and finally pointed to the second box after many onlookers were waiting impatiently: "Okay, let's just the second one, I myself am very two, I hope the second box will bring me good luck." β
"Good luck then!" Ma Lie reciprocated his sincere blessing and ordered another salesman to open the second box.
At this time, dozens of eyes in the audience were focused on the second box.
The box opened, and inside was a porcelain bowl.
Song Qi smiled bitterly regretfully: "Eh, it's not my porcelain, alas, luck is not on my side." β
Ma Lie smiled comfortingly: "Sir, don't worry, I didn't guess, you still have a chance!" β
When Song Qi heard this, he rekindled his hope: "Well, yes, as long as the boss doesn't guess, I still have the opportunity to get the porcelain I value for free!" β
Song Qi's acting skills are good, and he personally used his words and deeds to instill this gambling process in everyone, and Ma Lie expressed his satisfaction with this.
"yes, it's time for me to guess!" After saying that, Ma Lie also made a racking of his brains, and finally chose the fifth box painfully. The eyes of everyone in the audience were once again focused on the fifth box.
Let's see if it's a gimmick directed and acted by Ma Lie or a real money bet to give away the baby for nothing?
Soon, the box was opened. Inside the fifth box, it was also an ordinary porcelain bowl, not the porcelain that Song Qi wanted to buy.
"Well, the boss can't guess it, and he thinks he has what he can do to dare to do such an activity to promote consumption?"
"Yes, the porcelain worth seven thousand yuan is really going to be given away for nothing?"
"I don't know."
Seeing that Ma Lie couldn't guess either, most of the people held skeptical eyes, and the audience burst into discussions.
"It's over, this damn Ma Lie, what are you talking about, I'm going to go bankrupt today." Song Ning felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and glanced at Ma Lie resentfully.
Song Qi didn't believe it either, and asked Ma Lie weakly: "Boss, according to the rules, should you?"
Ma Lie smiled bitterly: "Sir, you must pay attention to honesty in business, I can't guess it, I must follow the rules of gambling, and it will be given to you for free." β
"Uh, thank you." Song Qi smiled embarrassedly. After all, he took away other people's things worth more than 7,000 yuan for nothing.
In order to make everyone more at ease, Ma Lie opened all the remaining eight boxes in front of many onlookers. Each box contained an item of equal weight, and the porcelain selected by Song Qi was in the sixth box.
Ma Lie personally delivered the porcelain to Song Qi, and at the same time introduced it to everyone: "Okay, since this gentleman is the first customer of our store to launch the gambling activity, and he is also a lover of antique porcelain, I decided to give him another Qing Dynasty vase worth 1,000 yuan." β
As soon as the words fell, the audience immediately applauded.
After witnessing Song Qigao happily taking over the Qing Dynasty porcelain from Ma Lie and the 700 deposit he had paid before, he left in a chic manner. Ma Lie's generosity and spirit of death won the trust and support of the majority of consumers at once, and people's desires and hopes were extremely greedy, and they began to sit still.
