Boss Sugizaki picked up a green bean and threw it into his mouth, looked outside and muttered, "Isn't this foreigner stupid, he is selling outside in the winter, and his brain is broken." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Nick outside also felt the cold at this time, he looked at his frozen red fingers, carrot-like fingers, exhaled a lump of white gas in his mouth, looked around at the orphans around him who were also shivering from the cold, and took out money for Liu Jianhong to buy some hot drinks to keep everyone warm.

"It's not warm at all." Nick said, looking at the misty sky.

After Liu Jianhong left, the remaining orphans finished arranging the venue with their hands and feet.

After nearly 30 minutes, Liu Jianhong came back with a portable gas stove, several small cans of gas, a brand new kettle, a large bucket of pure water, a pack of disposable paper cups, and a small bag of instant tea.

Nick looked at his big bag, a little dissatisfied, wondering if he was deliberately dragging his time to avoid labor.

"What about hot drinks?" Nick asked.

After listening to Polly's translation, Liu Jianhong said, "I didn't buy hot drinks, but I bought these things and came back." We all feel cold, and potential customers who pass by must also feel cold. I thought that instead of buying some hot drinks for us to drink ourselves, it would be better to buy a kettle of boiling water and entertain potential customers who were hurrying away because of the cold. Maybe they'll stop when they see the rising heat. ”

Nick nodded after listening to Liu Jianhong's words, and changed his impression of Liu Jianhong in his heart. The man in his thirties in front of him is not as honest as Zhang Xiang, and he seems to be a little smart. But it's just a little clever, and if you have other ideas in your heart, you don't say it directly, but choose to cut it first and then play it, such people can be used, but you can't use it much, and if you use it, it will make a mess.

"Then you find a conspicuous place to get them right, by the way, can you write Japanese, if you can, write the words 'free hot drinks'." Nick commanded.

Liu Jianhong didn't know what Nick was saying about him in his heart, when he heard the first half of the sentence, he was happy to get busy, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, his face instantly became bitter, and he said, "I'm really sorry, I don't know how to write Japanese yet." ”

"Then you go and set up the stove first." After Nick finished speaking to Liu Jianhong, he turned back to Polly and said, "Can you please help me write it." ”

Polly nodded.

Polly picked up the marker pen he had prepared and wrote the words "free hot drink" in Japanese on a blank piece of paper.

Don't look at the fact that this is Japan's golden age, the era of Japan's rapid development, and the era when Japan's per capita income is about to catch up with the United States.

However, the Japanese people still have the kind of temperament that likes to take advantage of small advantages and like cheap things.

Some housewives in Japan are even willing to pay 10,000 yen for a taxi and go to a distant supermarket to grab a few tens of yen on specials.

It's not so much that they're trying to save money, it's more like they're enjoying the feeling of snapping up.

"Not stupid." Kentaro Sugizaki said, holding the cup with the tea ball brewing.

Sure enough, there were passers-by who were attracted by the rising heat and the words "free hot drinks". Choose to stop and enjoy a hot cup of tea.

Nick took advantage of the young man wearing glasses in front of him, and when he was drinking tea, as if by magic, he took out "Catching the Ball" and demonstrated it in front of the young man. While demonstrating and saying something in English, Polly on the side translated Nick's words almost without delay.

"How much?" The young man with glasses took out his wallet as he spoke.

"Twelve thousand five hundred yen." Nick said.

The young man with "......" glasses didn't say a word, put his wallet back in his pocket, turned around and left.

"Haha! This idiot, just like that, still wants to sell things. If you want to mix in Akihabara, it's still early. Sugizaki patted his big belly and laughed, and the clerks who were trained by him did not squint, as if they hadn't seen or heard anything.

"Huh? You see, that red-haired white guy seems to be a little handsome! ”

"yes, yes, let's go check it out." Two big winters, a Japanese girl with radish legs in a ****** said chattering.

Nick, who was wondering why the young man with glasses turned around and walked away just now, didn't notice that two Shibuya-based Japanese girls who looked like black people were walking towards him.

Rumor has it that the better the economy, the shorter the skirt of the girl, and the worse the economy, the longer the skirt of the girl.

The skirts of the two girls in front of Nick have reached the base of the thighs, and it seems that the Japanese economy is indeed very good.

Nick looked at them and couldn't figure it out, it's so cold, isn't it cold to dress like this?

"Aren't you cold?" Nick asked.

The two girls were a little overwhelmed when they heard Nick's English, and Polly giggled when they understood.

The two of them gave each other a look in tacit understanding, and seemed to be very satisfied with Nick's appearance. In the words of the Internet buzzwords decades later, Nick is a tender and delicious little fresh meat.

"If we're cold, you're going to keep us warm?" One of the girls laughed, and the other looked at Nick with a smile without saying a word.

Nick's emotional experience is basically the same as the rest of his life, infinitely approaching zero. Besides, when he looks at Asian girls, he always has a feeling of facing a little girl, and let him do it to the little girl, which really makes him feel too guilty to do it, and he can't do it.

"We have free hot drinks here, you can drink them to warm up." As he spoke, Nick went to carry the kettle on the gas stove, accidentally burning himself, and he was in a hurry for a while.

The two girls, not at all, stood there smiling and looking like a monkey Nick.

"Drink!" Nick filled two disposable paper cups and handed them to the two girls.

"Thank you." When the two girls took the glass, they both seemed to touch Nick's hand inadvertently.

Nick was helpless, he knew that he was being rubbed with oil, but he had to sacrifice himself in order to sell "Catch".

For the sake of the cause, there will always be people who sacrifice, no matter who it is.

Nick took "Catch the Ball" and spoke something in English very quickly, and Polly translated it at the same time.

The two girls waited for Nick to finish speaking, and they didn't even watch what "Catching the Ball" was like, and asked directly, "How much, let's buy it." ”

"Twelve thousand five hundred yen." Nick said.

The two girls took out the money for a while, and after three seconds, they took out the money again, and they both skillfully took out a small card from the money bag, handed it to Nick and said, "This is my phone, remember to call me when you have time." ”

Nick put on a tote bag for the two "Catch the Balls", handed them to the two girls, and watched them away with a smile on his face.

The two girls turned around almost in two steps, and when they stepped out of Nick's field of vision, Nick found that his face was frozen.

Except for Nick, who had some success, the others did not sell a single one, and Nick gathered everyone together and asked, "Is it too expensive?" ”

After listening to Polly's translation, Qu Xiaobo said boldly, "More than 10,000 is indeed too expensive, I won't buy it anyway." ”

"What can you afford?" Wang Lang scolded with a smile, "You are reluctant to even buy handwritten paper, can you be willing to buy this?" Even if you do, you don't have that money. ”

Liu Jianhong added, "Let's not use our identities to think about problems now, what do we want, what can we afford." Now we have to think of ourselves as Japanese. Put yourself in their shoes, if they are richer, will they buy this little thing. ”

Nick nodded after listening to the translation, and thought about it from his own perspective, he really should think about the problem in this way.

The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen is about 1:125, and in the U.S., "Catch the Ball" sells for 50 dollars, and according to the exchange rate, it should sell for 12,500 yen in Japan.

Moreover, compared to the "Catch" sold in the United States, the "Catch" that is now sold in Japan is the game watch that is in full state for the rest of his life.

It has a practical function, you can see the time, and it can be used as an alarm clock.

There are entertainment features that can be used to pass the time.

It stands to reason that the product positioning of game watches is just in line with the itching points and pain points of users. In that case, it shouldn't be impossible to sell.

"Wait for me here." With this in mind, Nick said to the orphans, and then he and Polly entered the electrical sales line behind him.

Sugisaki, who had a big belly, greeted Nick with a smile when he saw Nick walk into his store, "How many of your gadgets have you sold?" ”

"Two." Nick replied, he looked at the layout of the store, walked straight to the counter of the electronic watch and asked, "Boss, what are the prices of your electronic watches?" ”

"What kind of price do you want?" Kentaro Sugizaki asked.

"Tell me all, I haven't figured it out yet." Nick said.

Boss Sugizaki took out a heavy electronic watch from the counter and said, "This is Casio's latest electronic watch, and it is very functional. In addition to being able to switch between the 12-hour and 24-hour time display at will. There are many other useful features, such as the ability to display the day of the week. There is also a stopwatch function, and ......"

"How much does this watch cost?" Nick said after listening to Boss Sugisaki's words.

"It's not expensive, only 30,000 yuan. Do you want to hold it? Boss Sugizaki said with a smile.

"Don't want to introduce other watches yet." Nick said.

Boss Sugizaki put Casio back on the counter and took out a watch that looked about the same as a traditional watch, "This is an electronic quartz watch from Citizen City, although it doesn't have as many fancy features as Casio." However, it looks very elegant and very stylish. The most important thing is that the power source of this watch is a coin cell battery. A battery can last at least one year, and compared to the original clockwork watch that needs to be twisted once a day, it doesn't know where the convenience is. ”

"How much does it cost?" Nick asked.

"It's not expensive, only twenty-five thousand, or?" Boss Sugizaki asked.

Nick shook his head, and he asked, "How much is the cheapest digital watch?" ”

The brow on Boss Sugisaki's fat face frowned, and he searched for it at the counter, "That's it." Cassio, a counterfeit from a street factory, can display the time, but the display is not very accurate. 10,000 in case, if you want it, for the sake of your foreign friend's face, you can take 10,000. ”

Nick waved his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

After Nick finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of Sugisaki's shop.

"What do you mean by this kid? Rich enough to hire a simultaneous interpreter, but can't even afford a watch? Is he entertaining me, or is my watch here too low-end for him to look at? The low-end is not right, my electronic watch here is already the most advanced. No matter how expensive the watch is, you can only go to the watch store and buy those handicrafts. ”

While Boss Sugizaki was confused, Nick had already figured out that the price of the electronic watch was much more expensive than he estimated, and there was no problem with the pricing of the gaming watch.

Then the problem is obvious, when I just sold it myself, I ignored the watch function of the game watch, and instead focused on the game part. Potential customers don't understand what a gaming watch is, and of course they think it's expensive.

Nick thought of a simple and crude way to let potential customers know what a gaming watch was, and he said to Polly, "Can you write a few words, 'electronic watch that can play video games' should be written in a big and eye-catching way, and it would be better for people to see these words at first sight." ”

"Okay." Polly replied.

"Bastard!" Keitaro Sugisaki's elbow slammed against the counter, and the hand holding the cup kept shaking. ＠，

He looked at the banner spread outside, his face turned blue, his lips turned white, he figured out why the little white man asked the price of the electronic watch just now, it turned out to be like this, it was really scheming.

"Humph! An electronic watch that can play video games? I'm going to see how much you can sell. Boss Sugizaki roared angrily.

The customers in the store looked at the owner of Sugizaki in surprise, and the clerk in charge of shopping guide hurriedly drew the customer's attention back to the product.

Before you know it, it's past ten o'clock in the morning, and although the weather is slightly cold, today is the weekend. There are still many people who choose to take advantage of the holidays to wander around and buy some of the goods they need.

Not many large household appliances were sold, on the contrary, small gadgets such as electronic watches and electronic calculators were selling well. After all, a family of large household appliances needs one or two, but electronic watches can be one or two people.

Nick's stall happened to be at the door of Sugizaki Electric Store. When there were two or three kittens before, it didn't matter, but after setting up the banner written by Polly, it objectively cut off the passenger flow of Sugizaki Electric Store.

Ten units were sold in ten minutes, and the boss of Sugizaki pinched the time with anger and counted the sales of electronic watches that could play video games.

The sales volume per unit of time seems to be on the rise.

The scariest thing is that the queue has begun.

You know, queuing has a very terrible effect on sales. It is precisely because of this incomparable magic that many stores have limited time rush sales from time to time, artificially creating queues.

Tsuyoshi Akagi, a famous Japanese sales psychologist, once said, "Whoever can make consumers line up will control the market." Although this sentence is an exaggeration, it does show the importance of queuing. (To be continued.) )
