As soon as Zhao Jue's words came out, the onlookers suddenly exclaimed, and applauded consciously or unconsciously. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
At that moment, a middle-aged villager looked excited and shouted: "My parents are not in good health at home, I want half a catty of tea!" ”。
Zhao Yu hurriedly waved his hand, pressed down with both hands, suppressed everyone's voices, and said: "I am here to explain that longevity tea is not a miracle medicine, it cannot cure diseases, it can only nourish the body, let people stay healthy as much as possible, I hope you don't misunderstand."
The middle-aged man thought about it, looked at the eight old birthday stars, gritted his teeth, and said: "Anyway, it's a good picture, just buy it, and strive to let the old man live a few years longer."
Some things know that there is little hope, but everyone still hopes to be favored by God, this longevity is even more unwanted, if you can prolong your life a little bit, it is the price you can pay, and it is worth it.
Longevity tea has hit a luxury in people's hearts.
At that moment, the middle-aged man took the lead, and the onlookers were all driven, discussing the benefits of this tea and how much tea they could buy to go home.
Sun Heng knocked on the allegro next to him and said a passage of the book in a colorful voice, and the eight old men sat on the stool behind him and listened, in good spirits.
On this day, the business of the tea shop grew explosively, with sales exceeding 100 taels, breaking the highest sales record since the establishment of the trading house in Wuzhen.
In the next two days, Zhao Yi hired a luxury carriage and pulled eight old people to perform for Sun Heng and his apprentices in the tea shops in Wuzhen, Songzhen, Liuzhen, and Guoxiang.
Countryside people like to be lively, and the storytelling of the past few days has made them gradually accept this spiritual baptism and feel physically and mentally happy.
There were even outsiders who rushed to hear the news, just to join in the excitement.
The storytelling session was very intensive, and there were many people coming, almost the venue was full, and the water outside the Li family tea shop was impassable.
At the same time as the fame of Sun Heng's master and apprentice was rising, the Li family's longevity tea also began to enter the people's field of vision and knew this kind of thing.
The sky is clear and sunny, and half of the people in the four towns have heard or seen longevity tea.
And within these three days, the number of people buying tea has also soared, reaching an unprecedented peak.
In the twelfth year of Deyang, on March 18, most of the competition time has passed, and there are four or five days to decide the winner.
In the tea shop, Zhao Jue looked at the sales accounts in the past few days, his expression was light, but there was not much joy.
Li Zhong came in from outside, his face full of excitement, and said, "Brother Zhao, today's sales have increased by three percent!" If this continues, we will be able to make a total of 3,000 taels in these fifteen days! It's like a dream, it's incredible! ”。
Suddenly seeing Zhao Jie's frowning expression, Li Zhong was stunned for a moment, and said, "Manager Zhao, what's wrong, the current situation is very good, what else do you have to worry about?" ”。
Zhao Jue was silent, just lowered his head and looked at the accounts in his hand.
Li Zhong walked behind Zhao Yu suspiciously, glanced at the account book in his hand, but found that this account book was not the record of these five tea shops at all, but a very strange table that he had never seen before, with countless lines intersecting vertically and horizontally, and there were numbers in each grid.
"Brother Zhao, what is this?".
Zhao Zhu put the table back on the table and spread out a sketch as he casually said, "This is a concise statistical method...... Go and get me a pen."
Li Zhong hurriedly turned around and went to the front to bring pen and ink.
Zhao Zhu compared the sketches, swiped the fingers of his left hand on the sketches, held the pen in his right hand, and filled in the numbers on the form.
After a quarter of an hour, he stopped writing, looked at the final figures, shook his head, and whispered, "Sure enough, it's not enough."
Li Zhong whispered: "Three thousand taels is not enough? How much is it missing? ”。
"According to my calculations, at least another three thousand taels will be added to barely reach a draw."
"What! Add another three thousand, that's six thousand taels! Brother Zhao, this is the countryside, the people are engaged in farming, no matter how fanatical they are, few people are willing to sacrifice their food and clothing in the future! That's impossible! As soon as he heard the figures that Zhao Yu broke out, Li Zhong shook his head again and again, feeling incredible, like listening to a book from heaven.
Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "It's really too difficult, this short-term outbreak, three thousand taels is the limit, if you are squeezing them, it will affect their future lives, such a thing against people, I will not do it."
But looking at the gap calculated on the table, if this side can't make up for it, then this competition will definitely be lost.
"I can't make Xiaolian sad, and I can't be unemployed...... It seems that it is time to perform a nirvana."
In the evening, in the backyard of Wuzhen Lifu Tea Shop, there were more than 20 men standing solemnly, all of whom were the elites of the five tea shops, people who were more capable of doing things and had very active eyesight.
Zhao Yi stood at the front, looked at everyone, was silent for a long time, raised his hand and lifted the wooden plate held by Li Zhong beside him, revealing the pieces of silver below.
Suddenly, the eyes of more than twenty guys immediately lit up, their expressions shook, and their hearts faintly became restless.
Zhao Jue said lightly: "Do you want it?" ”。
A guy swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "Lord Steward, silver is a treasure, who in the world doesn't want it?" I am dissatisfied with the steward, you said, I have dreamed of giving silver, with silver, the villain can get a daughter-in-law! ”。
The rest of the guys laughed.
Zhao Jue also smiled and said: "That's good, the guy who doesn't want to get rich will never be profitable, only if he wants to make money, he will work hard, and he will have the spirit!" ”。
His expression gradually became solemn, his gaze became solemn, he swept the guys in the courtyard from left to right, and said in a deep voice: "Now, I will give you a chance, five days, if you do what I ordered, the one hundred taels here is yours!" ”。
"One hundred taels!".
"It's only five days!?".
The guys' eyes widened instantly, their breathing became heavy and abnormal, and someone nervously asked, "Steward, what do you want us to do?" ”。
"It's a very physical and mental test...... Sell tea! ”。
"Selling tea? Isn't that what we do? Everyone looked at each other and fell into confusion.
Selling tea? It's that simple? They usually sell tea, what kind of psychological endurance does this need?
Zhao Yu looked at their puzzled expressions, and said solemnly: "There are many ways to sell tea, the kind you do on weekdays is the simplest, waiting for the guests to come to the door, collect money, and make a deal, and the selling tea I am talking about is a relatively advanced stage...... door-to-door direct sales".
"I want you to leave the shop and take the tea to find guests, to those rich and noble people's homes, or to the homes of those who run errands at home, to try to get them to buy your tea, in the process, you will encounter a lot of white eyes, and even, you will be treated as beggars, expelled, abused, of course, there are a few people with good tempers, will treat you normally."
"You have to overcome your psychological discomfort, you have to be confident, you can't get discouraged, you can't be insulted by others, you can't talk back."
"If you want to do everything you can to explain the benefits of tea to the host as much as possible, in this regard, you are more experienced than me, I will not say more".
"The task is probably carried out in this mode, within five days, you will try to finish the four surrounding towns, and every big household cannot be let go!"
"The minimum requirement I give you is to sell 500 catties of tea at the end, and this 100 taels of silver is yours, if it exceeds 500 catties, I will reward you in proportion to the excess."
Zhao Qi said, looking at everyone's hesitation, dazedness, excitement and even excitement, and said seriously: "You don't know much about this kind of tea selling model, and you haven't even heard of it, you may think it's simple, or you may think it's difficult, it's related to people."
"But you are all elites, and I believe that the worst of you can do well! Whatever the difficulties, you can overcome them! ”。
"Actually, now it's my Zhao Jie's difficulty, originally in this mode, if you really want to cultivate actual combat ability, it often takes a month, or even longer, but now there is not much time left for me, I only have five days, these five days will determine whether I Zhao Zhu can continue to be a steward, whether I can continue to stay in my beloved Huaning City, so I can only ask you to give it to me!"
Zhao Jie's eyes were deep and resolute, he took a deep breath, raised his arms high, and said: "Sell five hundred catties of tea, each of you will have five taels of silver, sell eight hundred catties of tea, each person will sell ten taels of silver, sell one thousand catties of tea, and I will give you twenty taels each!" ”。
"If it reaches 1,500 catties, I will give each of you three acres of fertile land!"
"If it can reach 2,000 catties, three acres of fertile land, in Huaning City, I will buy a new house for you!"
The faces of all the guys changed, and the negative looks of hesitation, confusion, and worry all became invigorated.
The twenty guys all became Guan Gong in an instant, their faces were red because of excitement, and their hearts were full of blood, and it was difficult to restrain them.
Five taels!
Ten taels!
Twenty taels!
Three acres of fertile land and one house!
Isn't that all they have to hope for!?
Good land, residence, plus a daughter-in-law, this is the ultimate goal of a countryman who works hard in his heart! Five days, and now, they only need five days, and it will be possible to achieve it all!
Every time Zhao Jue said a reward, a finger was erected, and at this time, all five fingers were opened, and his big hand was raised high, as if it was a posture covering the sky, domineering and solemn.
"As long as you can withstand the pressure, I will start with Zhao Jue! Money, it's really not a problem! Zhao Jue waved his hand down violently, very powerful.
"You let me stay in Huaning, I will treat you as brothers, but in the future, if you need it, go to the Li family tea shop to find me, take a step back and say, as long as you do your best, I will still be transferred, that is also my bad luck, no matter where I am, I will also thank you for your righteousness!"
"Everyone, please!".
Zhao Jue's expression was sad, his eyes contained incomparably heavy power, and he bowed deeply to everyone at ninety degrees.
"Wow!".
The twenty guys were shocked, and they hurriedly bowed to Zhao Jue, shouting: "Don't worry, Manager Zhao, we will definitely do it with the strength of milk, and everyone will definitely live up to the stewardship!" ”。
Zhao Jue nodded and said: "It's not early, you go, make a good route, divide the block into points, don't make it heavy, everything is difficult at the beginning, hold on and don't be discouraged, five days later, I'm here, award you and celebrate your achievements!" ”。
The guys nodded excitedly and prepared to go.
After everyone left, Zhao Jue's solemn expression slowly relaxed, his spirit was relieved, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
He suddenly saw Li Zhong beside him looking stunned, and couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" ”。
Li Zhong's expression suddenly became excited, and he said, "Brother Zhao, is it true that you just said three acres of land and one house!?" ”。
Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Of course."
"Steward Zhao! Let's see if I can go buy tea too! I'm a very enthusiastic person! Li Zhong licked his dry lips excitedly.
Zhao Yu was stunned, looked at Li Zhong's fierce face, and then shook his head and turned around and walked into the house, walked a few steps before laughing out loud and said: "Brother Li, I'm afraid that you won't be able to sell tea, but you will beat people to death, doing this line of work requires not only enthusiasm, but also ...... appearance."
"Looks? What is that? Li Zhong touched the horizontal flesh on his face suspiciously, and muttered, "Didn't I have it?" ”。
