160, advertising for matches
"Your Majesty, what should be the name of this product?" After the match was produced, a minister said to Chen Chen. (8) (1) δΈβ‘ζη½*.γ81.
Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, what objection did he have to this name: "Its name is match." β
"Your Majesty, after this product is produced, it will write the name on the box, so the minister will report to you." The minister said respectfully to Chen Chen.
"Then call it the People's Brand Match, after all, it is used to serve the people." Chen Chen also understood this truth and said softly.
The minister said respectfully, "Then who should this seller let sell, the major merchants in Dongshui all hope to get this sales right when they get this news, and many merchants have already contacted the minister, I don't know what Your Majesty means?" β
Chen Chen was stunned: "The news went out so soon, and all the major merchants came?" Tell the major merchants that the merchants of the imperial court will temporarily sell for the first three days, and after three days, they can give them a part of the sales power according to the proportion of the merchants in the market, after all, the profit of this product is also quite large, and the imperial court should also get a piece of the pie from it. β
For business, Chen Chen's concept is still relatively clear and keen, if it weren't for his current identity, he would have to open a business to make money.
In this era, the necessities of life are definitely money-making industries, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, that people need them, so in this kind of high-profit industry, Chen Chen still does not plan to give merchants a lot of power and profits.
Three days later, a new product, matches, appeared on the counters of merchants controlled by the imperial court, but no one cared about them, which made Chen Chen a little disappointed and unexpected.
"What's the matter, why can't matches be sold?" Chen Chen led his entourage to the merchant's shop, and said to the guy on the opposite side.
As soon as the man saw that His Majesty was coming, he hurriedly prepared to salute, Chen Chen hurriedly organized him, after all, there are many people coming and going now, and if his identity is revealed, then it will be too noisy.
"Yes, Your Majesty thought that we would sell this product very well, but I didn't expect that no one would come to buy it." The guy also had a headache and said: "Many people came mainly to buy flints, no one bought matches, and we also recommended them to them, but everyone didn't believe it, I'm sorry that I didn't have any idea of buying a product." β
Chen Chen nodded: "That's the same!" After all, for a new product, the people must have a process of acceptance, so this advertisement must feel that it is done well, come on, and start doing things according to my instructions. β
"Let people build a pile of firewood in front of the store, and then make a noise for the people to watch, and then use the matches in public, I believe that this will attract customers. By the way, let people pile two piles of firewood, one with flint and one with matches, so compare, then I believe the people can see that it is good or bad. β
As soon as the guys in the store heard Chen Chen's method, they immediately felt that this method was very good, and immediately implemented it.
The people on the street were walking, and suddenly they saw two pairs of firewood piled up on the street, and the gongs and drums were beating around, which was very lively, and everyone liked to join in the fun, and they were very curious, and they wanted to know what was going to happen next, so they all stopped to watch.
In order to make this momentum more enthusiastic, Chen Chen also arranged for people to mix in the crowd to drive people's emotions.
"Boss, what are you doing here?"
"Yes, now in broad daylight, boss, you have piled up two piles of firewood."
"I'm really curious."
The shopkeeper saluted Chen Chen, then walked into the crowd, and said in a passionate tone: "Fellow villagers, you should know each other, hahahahaha, thank you for coming to our store, making our store's business so prosperous." Today, we want you to watch a trick, I don't know if you want to? When the time comes, if the trick is successful, everyone may benefit a little? β
The boss's words successfully stopped some people from leaving, and all the people gathered around to look inside.
"What's in it for the boss?" As soon as some people heard about the benefits, they immediately couldn't wait to ask, this store is a century-old store in Dongshui, and they are wealthy, and they believe that this benefit will not disappoint them.
"Yes, boss, hurry up, we're still busy." The people talked and urged the boss to hurry up.
The boss is also a shrewd businessman, and when he saw that the atmosphere had risen a little, he stopped the topic and continued to chat with the people, and waited until the atmosphere reached a high point before he started to act.
Two men walked in and came to the two piles of firewood, and one of them took out two flints and began to beat them.
"Hey, I said this little brother, can you light a fire! Do you want me to teach you? A common man saw that the fire of the shopkeeper had not yet been lit, and he couldn't wait to say.
"You can't even make a fire, it's stupid." The onlookers couldn't help but laugh at the guy when they looked at the guy's clumsiness.
"Step aside, let this old brother come!" The boss smiled and ordered the guy, who immediately handed the flint to a middle-aged man next to him.
The middle-aged man seemed to be an expert, he picked up the flint and walked in, he first took out some soft wood, and then hit the flint rhythmically, so that the flint produced sparks and dripped on the soft wood, as he hit the rhythm faster and faster, the flame soon burned.
"Oh brother, how did you come up with this method, do you have any skills for this, you are so fast to make a fire." A peasant woman was so moved that her eyes could shine with stars, and she hurriedly asked, she is usually slow to light a fire.
The middle-aged man smiled shyly and said proudly: "This actually has no skills, that is, you must have a fast rhythm when you hit, so that you can produce sparks faster, and if there are more sparks, then the firewood can burn quickly." β
"Big brother, you're so amazing." Obviously, this middle-aged man's approach has aroused the admiration and envy of the majority of female compatriots.
"Ahem." The boss coughed loudly, and immediately pulled everyone's hearts back: "This big brother is indeed very fast, but the time is still too long, and I only need a few seconds to make the flame burn, if the flame does not burn, I will immediately give this big brother, a hundred yuan bill." β
As soon as the boss said this, he immediately shocked everyone.
"What? Just a few seconds, a few seconds to make the flame burn? What a braggadocio. β
"Wow, this big brother didn't do anything, so he got 1oo yuan for no reason."
The crowd said everything, but they still didn't believe a word.
Chen Chen looked at everyone's reactions and smiled slightly, it seems that this boss is very able to arouse people's curiosity and is a good material for doing business.
The boss reached out and took the match and slowly walked to the fire, so everyone opened their eyes and held their breath, watching the boss's actions without blinking...... (To be continued.) )
