Chapter 3 Get Her Money in Your Hand
Since she released 30 e-books that day, the trajectories of our lives are in a state of two parallel lines, and she still walks in front of my stall on time every day, but she has never stopped for me, let alone sat down to download e-books again. He didn't even look away and give me a look to say hello.
I secretly regretted it, and began to wonder if she thought that the price of the e-book I had helped her was too high, which angered her, and caused her to decide not to do it again after the next one.
I knew there would be such an ending, I might as well quietly give her more money, and make less money from her, the key is to let her let me contact her more. My personality is like this, I will know how to reflect when I lose it, and I will start to cherish it. Don't say anything to me, fuck off, my lord's business, my lord will call the shots, what do you have to do. I think I'm willing to make such a sacrifice in order to redeem her.
But I thought so in my heart, but she didn't know, I had to excuse myself in my heart, maybe she really had something that she couldn't come, maybe she didn't finish reading it, and she would come after reading it.
So I was looking forward to it, hoping that she would reappear in front of my stall after reading the novel, sit on the chair she had sat on that day, look at me with a smile, hand me her phone, and say to me, "Boss, next to the e-book." ”
A week, two weeks, and half a month passed quickly, and she didn't come to download it again, and every day she passed by my booth, I had an urge to rush up and say hello to her. Ask her if she has finished reading the novel, I can continue to help her order, as for the price, as long as she downloads it, it will definitely be the best discount for her.
There is an action between the ideal and the reality, and as long as the ideal is acted, it is possible to become a reality, but I don't have the courage to act. Just as I was beating my confidence to the fullest, she appeared. And once again, I took the initiative to intersect with my life.
As I had imagined, she sat in her chair, looked at me with a smile, and said to me, "Boss, help me get some e-books." The difference is that she didn't hand me the phone, but she turned off the phone herself, then opened the back cover of the phone, removed the electric board, took out the TF card, and handed me the card with a smile.
"Here you go, you can find the code."
I handed her the information, and then gave her the pen and notebook, and let her find it by herself.
"Old price?"
She smiled and asked shyly.
"Of course. But if you're willing to pay a little more, I wouldn't mind. ”
I also smiled and nodded, jokingly.
"If you're willing to give me a few more, I'll be more than happy to find more."
She also jokingly imitated my words.
"Okay, then you give ten more yuan, and I'll give you ten."
The amount is so large, just one more for one dollar, this business is cost-effective, and it can be done.
"Don't do so much, just send me a few songs."
She saw that I wanted to make small profits but sell more than nothing, so she changed her strategy.
"Songs? The next book cannot be delivered. If you don't play a five-dollar song, I'll give you a few. ”
What I mean is obvious, e-books have the price of e-books, songs have the price of songs, the two can't be confused, since it's an e-book, I can only send e-books, and if I want to send songs, then there is only a song.
"And what's your song?"
"Five dollars and thirty songs."
"It's only thirty songs, boss, isn't it too little?"
"It's all at this price, don't lie to you, the rules."
Again, I moved the rules out, and I knew it would give me the impression that I was stereotypical, but it would give the impression that I was playing by the rules. Rules are important and must be followed.
"Then I still don't play songs, so I can download e-books, and when I read books, I can't listen to music."
"Then you choose the books, remember to choose two more."
She showed a puzzled look, suspecting that she had misheard, how could I, who had just bargained with her and wouldn't give an inch, let her choose two more parts?
"You are an old customer, and I will give you two parts, which is your thank you for your support to my business."
This is not my sincere words, the fact is that she thinks that my price is too expensive and does not get benefits in the bargaining, psychologically speaking, she will definitely be very lost psychologically at the moment, and if she is not guided, she will be disappointed in me, then I may lose this old user. And if I give her two parts at the right time, she will be very happy, and the feeling of loss will be compensated, and she will think that I am a very reasonable person, and I will come back next time.
Everyone has a more or less greedy habit of being cheap, and she will definitely think about it for the third time, and she will think that she was an old customer last time, and she gave two copies. This time I'm a regular customer, so I'm sure he can send a few more. This is the human heart, but also the law, and I like to use the law very much.
Although I secretly didn't know how many times I blamed myself in my heart that I shouldn't have charged her such a high price, when it really happened again, I still didn't remember to charge according to the price I negotiated with her last time. And in her heart to excuse herself: she came to prove that she still thinks the price is right, since she has no objection to this price, I have money to make, why should I be stupid to oppose it?
My personality is like this, my position is too fragile in the face of money, and a few dollars are so fragile that a few dollars can break the embankment of my principles.
Last time it was probably the first time to cooperate, it took her half an hour to get the thirty e-books she wanted to order, this time she was familiar with the road, and it only took twenty minutes to find the thirty-two e-books she wanted.
Don't doubt my accuracy of time, know that time is money, and I have always been very sensitive to money. As for others saying that time is life, then I don't care, life is so long, for the young me, a little waste, I think no one should care.
Her speed increased, and of course my speed couldn't let her down, a minute faster than last time, and all thirty-two e-books were quietly lying in the Ebook of her TF card.
So I returned the TF card to her and pocketed the money she gave. When I put the money away, she also installed the TF card, updated it with the method I taught, and tried to open an e-book, the handwriting is clear, and the typesetting is also regular, OK, good.
I was just about to send off the guest politely, but she asked me suspiciously, "Why can't I download the e-book when I go to the Internet café?" ”
"Because some of the management systems of Internet cafes have set up protection."
"Set up protection?"
"Yes, protect the computer of the Internet café, there are too many viruses on the network, if they are all allowed to be downloaded, it will be easy to be poisoned, and if the entire Internet café computer is poisoned, then the boss will not lose money."
"No wonder when I download, a dialog box always pops up telling me that I can't download."
"If there is a dialog box, it means that there must be a program in the management system that blocks downloads."
"I see, thank you."
She left again, and when she disappeared from sight, I exhaled with a breath of relief. Praise yourself for your quick response to improvisation without changing the color of your face.
What computer management system is not allowed to download? As far as I know, the computers in the Internet cafes around here don't seem to have such a powerful system installed, and they are all some rudimentary management and billing systems: Meiping, Vientiane, etc. Many network alliances also use these management systems, which only have the most basic functions such as billing, checkout, and time checking, and it is impossible to prevent computer programs from downloading. So why should I tell her that the management system is set up and cannot be downloaded? Quite simply, I'm going to earn her money.
As soon as she said this, I immediately knew that she had been to an Internet café and tried to download it, which meant that her old customer was likely to be lost, and from the perspective of making money, I had to do everything I could to win her back as an old customer.
Now that she's having a problem with not being able to download, she just happens to be able to fulfill my wish, and of course I'm going to push her off the boat to go to the Internet café. Tell her the truth? Don't be stupid, it's still a real day these days, and it's best to make money.
Conscience? Will I be able to eat enough? The ancients said: "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and you will be able to help the world at the same time." "I'm just a member of this society who is struggling to survive, my first goal is to survive, those great goals of high moral character, I should not achieve them now, and I don't have such ambitions.
I just want to survive in this strange city, save some money, marry my favorite mother, and live a good life. Maybe when I'm in a good position, I'll put my conscience first, but now, I think, I'm still far from that.
People are selfish, of course I can't avoid vulgarity, reality, I can only live according to my current reality, to work hard to make money, even if the money earned is to play some small tricks, but as long as I don't break the law, don't touch the moral bottom line, I will do it without hesitation, I think: this, no one can stop me.
