Chapter 161: The Way of Business
Three days flew by.
Early morning.
Kayilu pushed open the door of the inn and greeted the first rays of the morning in high spirits.
Today is the day of departure.
The green-haired girl raised her hands high, stretched, and looked back at the hotel.
At the front desk of the hall, a black-haired young man and a middle-aged blond man sat face-to-face in a chair, chatting passionately, while a brown-haired young man next to him listened intently to them.
The black-haired young man is Xia Di, who is telling the innkeeper Milt and the waiter John what it means to do business.
"So, Master Xia, you told me so much...... So what can we do to make this store better? Milt said, rubbing his hands together.
"It's actually quite simple." Xia Di waved his index finger and said, "Your advantage in this shop...... The potential is really great, it's just that you're not very qualified as a businessman, you know what? ”
"I'm not qualified?" Milt pointed to himself in confusion.
"You don't know how to sell yourself, as a businessman, you must not only learn to sell goods, but also sell ideas." Xia Di recalled the knowledge of reality, while picking up the black tea on the table and taking a sip, "If you think about it carefully, most of the adventurers have average income, and the proportion of them will stay in expensive hotels is small, but they have a large base, and you are the only hotel in the royal capital that will accept them regardless of their identity, you can be said to have monopolized this part of the population, how can you not make money?" ”
"What do you mean?" Milt grew more and more confused.
"Don't care about the sons and daughters of rich businessmen or aristocrats, who are not your customers. There is only one type of customer group, and that is mercenaries or adventurers. ”
Xia Di said how to complete the last world and solve Milt's personal task [Industry Dilemma] by himself.
Kayilu listened to it, and the more she listened, the more she felt.
She glanced at the clock on the wall, walked over and said, "Hey, it's eight o'clock, it's almost time for us to leave......"
However, her words did not reach the ears of the two. The emotions of the two men were ignited in a discussion that smacked of capitalism.
"You should do that." Xia Di picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote something, "You can first find a time period with more people, go to the Adventurer's Guild to publish a task, the content of the task, it can be written as a relatively easy task to complete, such as collecting ingredients, or expelling sewer rats, and the reward is twice as high as similar tasks." When they're done, you invite them to stay at the hostel because you want to thank them, and if it feels good, they'll spread the word for you over time. ”
Xia Di took another sip of tea.
"Oh, but it costs money, doesn't it?" Milt frowned and asked, "My business itself is not very good, and now I pay this money again...... Besides, they have to eat and drink when they move in, and I have to clean up, will it be too much of a loss? ”
"Lose an egg!" Xia Di knocked on the table dissatisfied, "If you want to do publicity, how can you do it at a cost?" Do you want to think that this is an investment for the future, and you want to save money? Well, there's a more direct way, if you don't want to pay the reward, just write the mission to invite the adventurer who loves cleanliness to stay in the hotel for free, but you must write about the resident experience, and the word limit is 400 words! Don't come to the illiterate! ”
"This ...... What is UX? Milt was dumbfounded.
"UX is how they actually feel about staying at your hotel, both good and bad, and that's a good thing, and guest feedback is crucial to understanding the pros and cons of your hotel. Help improve your service level. ”
"In short, let's set a small goal first, earn it a hundred gold coins first, and then we will use another method, do you know the difference between ordinary customers and VIP customers? I will write you a set of VIP system now, you divide the customers into four levels, according to the number of days of housing, starting from the number of days of the first stay, for example, staying 5 days is V1, staying 15 days is V2, and 30 days is V3...... And so on, you can upgrade from low to high level through accumulation, the higher the level of customers can get better service, to a certain number of you can also give a housing gift package, or free room upgrades, if the person who comes to live feels that this accumulation system is too troublesome, it doesn't matter...... You tell them that as long as you deposit some coins with you first, you can also get the corresponding service, and then the money will be deducted directly from it, and the credibility will be guaranteed. This is also known as the top-up ......"
"Oh, that's a good idea!" When Milt heard Xia Di's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
If you can get the money first, it means that the other party will definitely come to live next time, and it is better not to live, and you don't have to do anything to make a net profit. I don't really understand what the VIP system means, but it seems to be very powerful!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, but he suddenly noticed something and became hesitant again.
Milt thought of the peers who had excluded him, and if their shop made money and became famous, they might do something to his shop.
In that case, we may close the store again.
"Huh?" Xia Di noticed Milt's dazed expression and immediately understood what he was thinking.
Xia Di patted Milt's shoulder and smiled, "I don't understand what you're worried about. Do you really understand your customer base? ”
Xia Di sighed: "Your customers are all Kryptonite warriors who are drunk today, what are you worried about, just look at your bloodthirsty people, your peers dare to touch your shop, what is the difference between this and directly slapping them in the face?" Adventurers or mercenaries who really like your shop, when they see bad guys coming to destroy your store, they will definitely stand up for you, maybe they will find out the upper family directly, and beat them up, they are already at a loss, and you are not provoking any royal relatives, what are you afraid of? ”
"I'll just say it directly, if you keep thinking about them, and when your business grows, you can go directly to the Adventurer's Guild and kneel and cry, saying that they forced you to can't open a store, and promise to make a swarm of people smash the windows of their houses!"
Xia Di summed up passionately: "This is the power of the masses......"
"You ghosts! Have you finished talking about your crooked reasoning? ”
Xia Di suddenly became unstable and almost fell because his chair was kicked.
That's Kailu.
"It's been chirping since last night until this morning!" Kailu kicked again in dissatisfaction, "I said yesterday that I would leave at half past eight this morning, what are you still rubbing?" ”
"Uh...... It turns out that it's already this time, I forgot. Xia Di coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, "Hey, isn't there still half an hour?" ”
"If I listen to you again, an hour will pass." Kailu said angrily.
"Oh, so you guys have something else to do? Then I won't bother. Milt scrambled to his feet.
Three nights earlier, he had been carried back by John, and he didn't seem to remember drinking with Kaylu at the prostitution parlor.
However, perhaps it was the events that took a certain psychological shadow on him, and although he doesn't remember it now, he was often inexplicably in awe of Kailu.
"Listening to Mr. Xia's lecture today, I have benefited a lot, and it is more useful than reading the Bible for ten years." Milt held Xia Di's hand tightly and shook it, "Now I'll check you out immediately, John, you go upstairs to clean the room, if you see something left behind by Mr. Xia and Miss Kayilu, hurry up and get it back and return it to them......"
"Huh? Good. John seemed to be still savoring what Xia Di had just said, his spirit was a little sluggish, and when he heard Milt's words, he was excited and hurriedly ran upstairs.
Half an hour later, the two of them finished their last breakfast before departure in the restaurant and walked to the post station. (To be continued......)
