Chapter 21: Ruffianism

The young man was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a white face, and he looked Liu Yong up and down with a smile. Because Liu Yong's clothes at this time can still be called rich. It's just that the clothes are a little dirty, and the demeanor is a little dark. But Liu Yong's temperament is good, his expression is calm, his appearance is handsome, and he is soft and strong, so that people dare not underestimate him.

Liu Yong smiled and nodded at the young man, looking around, the decoration of the store was also extraordinarily elegant, and there were pictures of ladies hanging on the four walls. There are vases everywhere and incense burners are filled with cigarette smoke. In addition, the aroma of rouge gouache fills the store, and it can really be said that you have entered a kingdom of fragrance.

The women who chose the rouge were all dressed in silk and satin, and their clothes were rich. It's just that some of the clothes are short, and they look like maids. One of them was surrounded by everyone, dressed in a milky white silk dress, with a graceful figure and a pale pink veil on his face, which was different.

When the women found Liu Yong, they were shy not to look at it. Being ashamed when facing the opposite sex is the minimum upbringing of a girl from a large family. But there are still people who can't help but look at Liu Yong secretly. Because Liu Yong is so handsome. As a young girl with a spring in mind, how can you resist not looking at it?

Liu Yongzhi was very calm, and when he saw some women snickering at him, he also smiled back, but he quickly took his eyes away, which was also a sign of politeness. In Liu Yong's subconscious, the ancient etiquette can be regarded as imperceptibly influenced by the soul of the dead Liu Yong.

Being peeked at by a beautiful woman, Liu Yong was in a good mood, but he didn't forget the purpose of his visit. Under the guidance of the young man, I went to the counter and browsed the bottles and cans of red and pink powder. But he really didn't know what the jars and jars were. This time, he didn't take Yingying as an excuse. Instead, he directly asked the young man where the manager of the shop was, and he asked to see him.

The young man hesitated for a moment, and then went to the back room. After a while, a fat man in a dark blue silk robe walked out, with a smile on his red face. Arched his hand to Liu Yong, and Liu Yong returned the salute.

After the fat man introduced himself, Liu Yong learned that he was the shopkeeper of the store here, but he was not the real boss. Liu Yong also introduced himself. The fat man asked Liu Yong what was the matter with him. Liu Yong gave him his thoughts.

It turned out that Liu Yong did not come here to visit, his purpose was to buy goods from here, and then take them to Meihua Street to set up a stall to sell.

After hearing Liu Yong's reason, the fat shopkeeper couldn't help frowning.

"Brother Liu, you make me very embarrassed." The fat shopkeeper asked Liu Yong to sit down.

"What's so hard about it?" Liu Yongda sat down generously. Yingying was also arranged to sit down by the young man, and she watched with interest as the women chose rouge. She didn't know that she would be like them when she grew up.

"Our goods here are high-end, and many of them come from the Western Regions and Arabia. How can you sell it on a stall? The fat shopkeeper gave the reason. Although the tone was still polite, his eyes no longer looked at Liu Yong. Obviously, he didn't want to waste time with such a customer who didn't know how to go high or low.

But Liu Yong didn't care, he had already guessed the reason for his refusal.

"Shopkeeper, do you think my idea is bad?" Liu Yong gave him a hurdle question. This kind of questioning can be a powerful tool in the negotiation of the mall. It is able to deftly dodge opponents' attacks and open up breaches on the flank. At this time, Liu Yong used this trick, he didn't go directly to the fat shopkeeper to deal with any high-end and low-grade, stall shop. Rather, the topic of the conversation is still drawn back to the direction of business trading.

It's about business, so don't go off-topic.

When I asked like this, I stopped the fat shopkeeper at once. In his heart, he simply doesn't do business with street vendors like Liu Yong. They are a famous store in the city of Meizhou. But most of all, he is still worried about smashing the signboard of his famous store.

Liu Yong didn't speak, and waited for the fat shopkeeper to answer without being humble or arrogant. Seeing Liu Yong's demeanor, it made the fat shopkeeper a little restrained. He didn't know that the momentum of the negotiation had fallen to Liu Yong's side at this time.

"You, what do you think?" The fat shopkeeper asked a little panicked.

"Buying from you? Didn't I make it clear? Liu Yong asked rhetorically.

"Oh, didn't I say it, we sell high-end goods, not suitable for stalls." The fat shopkeeper looked at Liu Yong and spoke again.

"Shopkeeper, so be it, how about I buy your rouge gouache at your normal selling price?" Liu Yong smiled slightly.

This shocked the fat shopkeeper, and the rouge gouache in his store was already very expensive. Although it is also a little cheap to take care of some low-end customers, it is still much higher than that of street stalls. Liu Yong actually wanted to buy it at the original price, so how could he sell it? This does have to be shocking.

"Brother Liu, what did you just say?" The fat shopkeeper could only think that he had misheard.

Liu Yong repeated what he had just said word by word.

"Then how can you sell it?" The fat shopkeeper directly raised questions.

Liu Yong smiled and said lightly: "I don't have to worry about this shopkeeper." Please give me a pick. ”

It stands to reason that a normal seller of goods cannot afford not to sell, and it is a large purchase, and the seller should be very happy. But at the moment, the fat shopkeeper was stunned.

Liu Yong got up with a smile and paced back and forth in the store hall with his hands behind his back, browsing the bottles and cans of goods. The conversation between him and the fat shopkeeper was heard by the women who chose rouge, so they chattered and whispered, and from time to time there were peekers at Liu Yong.

Liu Yong was triumphant, waiting for the fat shopkeeper's response.

After the women finished buying the rouge, they glanced at Liu Yong one after another, and a flock of birds flew out of the store. One of them, the veiled one, deliberately stopped after going out and glanced back at Liu Yong. Liu Yong nodded slightly.

The young man who sold the goods wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed: "These girls are really difficult to serve, and they have to choose an hour every time." ”

The fat shopkeeper groaned for a long time, got up and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, if you really want to buy our goods, I welcome you, I don't care if you use it yourself or set up a stall to sell it, but if you sell it, you can't say that it is my goods here." ”

When Liu Yong heard this, he laughed, and suddenly stopped, and said to the fat shopkeeper word by word: "I bought it from you, how can I lie to the guests?" As he spoke, he picked them up on the counter, "Give me ten of these, five of them, and twenty ......of them," Xiao Yingying also picked up, bouncing like a cheerful little rabbit.

"Hey, slow down, Brother Liu, don't worry, let's discuss it again." The fat shopkeeper hurriedly pulled Liu Yong back to the chair.

"Shopkeeper, what? Don't you sell goods here? Liu Yong asked deliberately.

"Sell, sell, sell." The fat shopkeeper laughed.

"Then hurry up and pack the goods for me, I still want to take advantage of the good time in the afternoon to set up a stall." Liu Yong deliberately made the stall more serious.

"That's it, Brother Liu, I'll buy the goods for you, as long as you don't say what I bought here." The fat shopkeeper's smile was even stronger.

"How much does that cost me?" Liu Yong asked directly.

"Eighty fold." The fat shopkeeper said.

"50% off." Liu Yong said.

The fat shopkeeper shook his head.

"Then I'll buy it at the original price!" Liu Yong owes himself.

"Six-fold."

"Hahaha, the shopkeeper's refreshment." Liu Yong got up and patted the fat shopkeeper on the shoulder.

The fat shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, his face a little sad. He didn't expect such a result anyway. He is the manager here, and it is his responsibility to maintain the brand image of the store. If the goods in the store are allowed to flow to the stall, the owner will immediately dismiss him. For the sake of his position, why should he offend Liu Yong? Don't look at this guy's woman's face, he is actually very powerful. Anyway, these rouge gouaches are huge profits, even if you give him a five-percent discount, you can earn it, let alone a six-fold discount. If Liu Yong sells well and often comes to get the goods, this can be regarded as a good deal. Also, as a man, to sell these women's things, he is not optimistic about Liu Yong's future, and the possibility of giving up halfway is very great. So I made this decision that everyone was happy about. In fact, he was also forced by Liu Yong. He originally thought that Liu Yong would be easily dismissed. I didn't expect ......

And Liu Yong probably understood his character through the conversation with the fat shopkeeper, and knew his sore spot when he saw that he was unwilling to buy goods. So such a scene was staged, which was similar to a game of scoundrels forcing them to submit. Liu Yong was really helpless, but he did not directly threaten, and used all reasonable and legal methods. It's always not illegal to buy goods at the original price, right? This is also where the fat shopkeeper thinks Liu Yong is powerful.

Liu Yong succeeded, and he was satisfied with his little ruffianism. Is this the original him? No, it must not be. In later generations, he was a good old man who didn't like to cause trouble. So who is this? Liu Yong smiled. It seems that this top businessman is not something that ordinary people can do.

The fat shopkeeper not only agreed to Liu Yong's request to purchase goods at a 6% discount, but also helped Liu Yong pick up the goods, and specially found some slightly lower prices and best-selling goods for Liu Yong. He is so attentive not for Liu Yong, but for himself. He seems to know Liu Yong's personality, if he gives him goods that are not easy to sell, he will definitely come to the door, and when the time comes, what kind of moth will be known by the owner, it will not be good. It's better to satisfy Liu Yong safely.

This made Liu Yong a lot easier, he didn't know much about these rouge gouaches, and the fat shopkeeper personally helped to choose them, which was twice the result with half the effort.

I packed a large bag of goods, and most of the money was spent. Liu Yong is not distressed or worried, he thinks that the goods on his back are things that make money.

Bidding farewell to the fat shopkeeper, Liu Yong took Yingying's hand and left.

The young man whispered to the fat shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, this man is so powerful, even you can't fight him." ”

"yes." The fat shopkeeper squinted at Liu Yong's back, thoughtful, "He is indeed a powerful person." Suddenly remembering the young man's words, he immediately widened his eyes and said, "What? I can't fight him, I don't want to smash the owner's signboard. Go to work. The boy ran away in fright.

……

Liu Yong returned to the inn with Yingying on his back. Yingying was tired of walking, so she fell asleep on the bed, and Liu Yong covered her with a quilt. Just fiddle with the things these women use. Smell this, smell that, all kinds of incense. No wonder they all say that women are fragrant, it turns out that it is all thanks to these cosmetics.

The goods are there, but they can't be sold on the ground casually, so that no matter how good the goods are, they will become indiscriminate. He thought about it for a while, and then he had an idea.
