Chapter 10: The First Day of Business
Chunxiang said, "Young master, I want to go to the store to sell goods." ”
The maid actually wanted to sell goods, Guo Wendong and Qin Xuelian couldn't help but be surprised.
"I'll give you a chance, as long as you sell well, the salary will be indispensable to you." Guo Wendong responded happily that his wife was interested, and Guo Wendong was willing to let her try, hoping that she could do it.
Chunxiang and Xing'er are both bought by Guo Weihe, and the deed of the two is kept in a cabinet in the bedroom of the main house, which belongs to the private property of the Guo family. Even if it is private property, the Guo family will still pay wages every month, but it is a little lower than that of people with free status.
"Young master, I will definitely do a good job!" The young master agreed, and Chunxiang was.
After a sumptuous dinner, Guo Wendong called Fang Xingli and took him into the wing room to check on the new items, explaining that each item was ready for sale.
This made Fang Jieli very happy, and he said: "Young master, this rare thing, you can get so much, you will definitely be able to get rich, among the servants of the family, there are not many people who are suitable for selling goods, and the manpower needs to be expanded." ”
Guo Wendong said: "You can do this, Chunxiang also has to go to the store to sell goods, give her more opportunities." ”
Chunxiang is a maid in the room, and Fang Jieli naturally knows that she must take care of it.
Then, Haruka was called over again.
Guo Wendong told the two of them about some modern promotion concepts and promotion methods, and the two of them could quickly digest them.
The three of them discussed the specific method of sale again, and the store was ready for two days, and the store opened the day after tomorrow.
Chunxiang said: "Young master, skin care products are used by women, and they are generally purchased by women, and they may need to be tried, and the promoter should be suitable for women." ”
Fang Jieli said: "Chunxiang is right, women's things are promoted by women, and others are promoted by men. In addition, the Guo family has a lot of wealth, which will inevitably be coveted by treacherous people, and I think it is necessary to expand the family. ”
Guo Wendong nodded, he must first understand the existing armed forces of the four families, and the future family guards still need a certain amount of training in order to better protect the master.
After discussing with the two, Chunxiang stayed and said, "Young Master, although I will be a promoter in the future, I will still serve the young master. ”
Serving the young master well can bring her the greatest happiness.
The next day, all the maids and servants were gathered and selected a few suitable people to serve as salesmen, and they were trained accordingly.
They are not selling goods for free, Guo Wendong is giving a commission.
Each item has a minimum selling low price, and the commission on sales is 1/1000, if the transaction price is more than 2 times higher than the reserve price, the commission is 2/1000, and more than 4 times higher than the reserve price, which is 3/1000.
There are commissions to have incentives, and several people on the spot said that they wanted to be salespeople.
Guo Wendong and Fang Jieli together selected six suitable people, four men and two women.
Among the two daughters, in addition to Chunxiang, another person named Qiu Ju is the daughter of Fusheng in the kitchen, who helps with chores in the Guo family.
Next, let a few people identify various items, guide how to use items, and then instruct how to promote and how to grasp the psychology of rich people.
For the skin care products used by women, Haruka explained and demonstrated on Qiu Ju.
In modern times, some skincare brands are not limited to women, such as L'Oreal, Olay, and Dabao, which are both male and female products, such as Mentholatum, which is mainly for men.
Guo Wendong is also ready to sell men's skin care products, and he will personally demonstrate and explain.
On the third day, the store opened.
There is a large piece of paper posted outside the store, indicating that it specializes in selling Western goods, and Daming is the only one.
The plaque above the store is engraved with five big characters of "Guo's foreign goods store".
Whether ancient or modern, people have curiosity.
More and more people passing by the gate were attracted and walked into the store.
The shelves of the store are full of all kinds of strange things, if they are non-consumables, they are either one or two, and there is absolutely no third item of the same kind; If it's a consumable, the quantity won't be too much.
The staff in the store, both men and women, are uniformly dressed.
There is such a thing in the world, and everyone who enters the store is shocked by their eyes and wide open.
The people who entered the store were both men and women, mainly men, and some of them had followers.
"How is this mirror cast?"
"This is called glass, and it is made by Westerners in a special way."
"What is this?"
Someone picked up a flashlight and asked.
"It's called a flashlight, and it will light up when you press it!" The salesman was explaining, demonstrating.
It's really shining brightly, there is such a magical thing in the world.
"How much does a flashlight cost?"
"At least three hundred taels."
"Three hundred taels?" The man frowned, three hundred taels was not a small amount.
The salesman further said: "There are only two flashlights in the store, which I brought back from the West, and only here are the only ones in the entire Ming Dynasty that sell them, and they can't be less than a penny." ”
"And how long does this flashlight last?"
The salesman said the approximate time and said that if the flashlight was not lit, he could come and buy the battery, and he removed the battery on the spot.
This man couldn't put down the flashlight, but he didn't make any intention to buy it, he wanted to buy it, but he couldn't afford it.
Many people who entered the store today were shocked and excited for a while, and after learning the price, they left helplessly. The price of everything in the store is not low, and the wealthy group of Daming is Guo Wendong's target group, and the poor cannot afford to consume it.
"Western skin care products, are they better than Daming's skin care products?"
A certain daughter, who is concerned about skin care products in the women's area, is received by Haruka.
In ancient times, people with certain economic ability had a high popularity of cosmetics and skin care products.
Powder is the most basic thing, and "six palaces have no color" is the most appropriate metaphor.
Among the powders, there are rice flour (natural), lead powder (gouache, pasty lead powder), purple powder, Reva Baixin powder (talcum powder), sandalwood powder (lead powder with sandalwood), pearl powder and so on.
Among the rouge, there are flower rouge (cheeks, lips), rose balm (rose petals, grinding pulp to remove miscellaneous pressed cakes).
Among the lipids, there are facial fats that add traditional Chinese medicine to whiten and wrinkle, which were used from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, lip fat (lipstick, beef pith tallow)
Dai mainly has eyebrow pencils; There are pancreas, bath beans, jade ointment, etc. as facial cleansers; Shampoo is generally used Mu (rice juice) and Ze (conditioner).
"When Miss washes her hair, I add half a spoonful of honey to the water, and when Miss's face is dry, I rub honey on Miss Miss's face, press it for a while and then wash it off."
The maid beside the young lady was telling.
The young lady asked, "Are these Western things better than those of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Chunxiang said: "That's nature, the Western skin care products sold here are much stronger than Daming's, you see my face and hands, there is more moisture than before." ”
Haruka leaned her face closer and stretched out her palm.
The two of them grabbed her palms separately, and they were really delicate and moist, and both of them were extremely envious.
Haruka took out the trial suit again, and tried it on the faces and palms of the two of them with a little bit, which felt very good and immediately became happy.
After trying it, Chunxiang said: "There are all kinds of skin care products in the store, but there are only a few sets, and there are no more when they are sold out, if you buy a box separately, the price is much more expensive, if you buy a set, you can discount a little bit, and the full set is at least two hundred taels." ”
For the price of each commodity, Guo Wendong is carefully calculated, if it is a consumable, it needs to be used again, such as daily necessities, food, etc., the price can be lower, and many warehouses can be sold for a long time. If it can be used for a long time, such as mirrors, watches, drinking glasses, etc., the price should be as high as possible.
Two hundred taels? Both the young lady and the maid exclaimed.
Chunxiang said: "My young master shipped back to Daming from overseas, spent a lot of money, sold a full set of skin care products in two hundred quantities, and didn't make much money, the whole Daming is only sold here, if you don't buy it, many people rush to ask for it, and there will be no more after it is sold." ”
